Korg EMX-1: creating basic 80s sequence

YouTube via TheSynthFreq | September 25, 2010

"This is a short video about the basic steps to writing an 80s drum pattern with the Korg EMX. Also explained, is the process of using a synthesizer to record the bass line in to the EMX. The EMX sends midi data back to the synth, for a more realistic 80s bass patch.
The pattern shown is 4 measures but up to 8 measures are available on the EMX, the Roland Alpha Juno was used to enter the bass line into the EMX, then the EMX sent the midi data back to the Juno and the Juno's sound is heard, not the EMX (synth part 1). I also couldn't resist but to add the D-50 with some sparkling chords in to the mix.
Keep in mind that this is very basic, nothing fancy.
Please pardon my horrible explainations!

Please enjoy. :)
Have a synth-tastic weekend everyone!

Electronic Projects Lab Kit Audio Oscillator

YouTube via ThePurityControl | September 26, 2010

"Completely ridiculous, i had one like this when i was about 12 and could never get any of the interesting projects to work and ended up feeling like an electronics failure... now years later i decided to try and defeat my gremlins and maybe learn a thing to too as well.

Audio is from my digital camera, first pass is cleaned up only, second is effects drenched for laughs."

PRO ONE vs. PRO 12: analog vs. digital Prophet 5 - Harlem Nights

YouTube via harlemnightsmusic | September 26, 2010

"An analog versus a digital voice test of the Sequential Prophet 5 (rev 3) synthesizer (1978):
- L channel = Sequential Pro One synth (1981)
- R channel = Creamware Pro 12 synth module (2006), in single voice mode

Mostly focusing on basic sonic quality, not features. Envelopes and filter levels were matched to eachother by ear (the number settings differ). Pro 12 was played with EMU Xboard 61. No added fx or EQ. Both were recorded through the same mixer and soundcard.

There's quite a lack of proper Pro 12 demos on internet, hence I made this one for others deciding about it... A HQ mp3 of the test can be found at: www.harlemnightsmusic.com/PRO_ONE_VS_PRO­_12.mp3

To my ears, the Pro 12 held up surprisingly well in this test against a famous analog bass synth. Main sonic differences were in the filter and pulse width range. I would say the basic sound

In a polyphony test, against a real Prophet 5, this difference may be larger, as the oscillators will be summed. But if you play the Pro 12 in two voice unison with a slight detuning, you still got six phat voices and won't be far off :-)

Next time: more music!

Enjoy
Harlem Nights"
