Lightman's MFB Nanozwerg Demo (Nano does all the sounds)
Uploaded by TheRealTakumaji on Jan 23, 2012
"English:
This is a quick and rather funky demonstration of the Nanozwerg, an analog monophonic synthesizer manufactured by Manfred Fricke Berlin (MFB), Germany. All sounds (bassdrum, snaredrum, closed hi, open hi, tip-tom low, tip-tom high, crapclap, sweeping pad, funk lead, FM loop) have been created from scratch on the Nano, then they got sampled with an Akai S-20 desktop sampler and arranged on my Roland MC-50 MK II sequencer. The bassline has been directly sequenced and live tweaked with/on the 'Zwerg. There's a slight Chorus effect (DigiTech TSR-12) and a bit of compression on the drum samples (dbx 166a), plus lotsa magnificent noise courtesy of Fricke's little beast.
The Nanozwerg ("Zwerg" is German for "dwarf", btw.) is a powerful and inexpensive mono synth that has just the right amount of dirt and personality to make it interesting for me. Bought it a year ago for about 220 Euros and it's worth every penny in my opinion, it's small, easy to use and comes with a killer sound and tons of features you wouldn't expect in a synth of its class. VCO with four waveforms (saw, pulse, square, triangle), four octave ranges, CV and MIDI controls, various internal and external modulation options, the LFO can be driven into audio range for nice FM effects and even act as second VCO, Glide (portamento), subosc with four mix modes, including noise for percussive stuff (like the hihats and snare you hear in the demo), four filter models (bandpass, lowpass, highpass and notch), audio input, and more. Can't recommend it highly enough.
