"This is one of the rare consumer synthesizers that offered more than the standard pianos, organs and strings. The DJX is full of pop-electronica sounds circa the mid-1990s. More importantly, it has a lowpass filter with knob control and a lo-fi sampler. The keys are velocity sensitive, and it has MIDI in and out."
"Hello, my dear fellow YouTubers, I have been neglecting you for a while. But I have good reasons for this. A long lasting relation has ended (the video 'The Big Decision' may have given you a hint) and a new very promising relation is arising. So I have been very busy in last weeks but somehow there was not much room for making music. But a few weeks ago I visited a fellow YouTuber Skoulaman because I like the music he makes and lives relatively close by. Last Friday evening he visited me to see and hear my humble setup in the attic. On the videos it may look as if it is a big corner with plenty of room but in fact it is very small and 2 people hardly fit. But we managed to make a short video with an improvisation. Skoulaman is playing the Waldorf Q Keyboard with some pad sounds. I made and operate the sequencers and Modulars. I also played the theme on the Roland XP-80 doing a piano and a synthbass sound on the Nord Lead 1 trying not to push Skoulaman from his seat..."
via Lorne in Canada: "Bernie Krause is a global treasure and people newly discovering the history of analog synths should know about him. I (and so many others) bought all the albums and his more recent books are a wonderful discovery for gear heads who need to get out more Smile emoticon. One book (w cd) is on rare vanishing soundscapes of our planet and why he walked away from the studio life and the other is a basic book on how to get started recording the sounds of other life forms around us. It was written in the age of minidiscs and DATs but still worth reading. And he was there at the start with the first Moog in LA working the studios and sitting in the background of so many famous albums. The site is a great read, images and sounds. Bring the world into your studio if you can't get out."
