Monophonic Synth Technique with the Misa Kitara (and Cakewalk z3ta+ 2 VST)

YouTube Published on Apr 21, 2012 by misadigital

"Here I connect the kitara to the cakewalk z3ta+ 2 software synthesizer. Basically, the kitara becomes an extension to the synth, as a new way to control it. If you have cakewalk z3ta+ 2, you can download this particular sound preset from here: http://www.misadigital.com/misa_monophony.fxp

The glide/portamento of a synth is a very overlooked aspect of synthesizers, especially from a guitar synth perspective. The idea behing this video is to show how you can get a more "sequencer" type sound using the kitara's onboard sustain functionality.

In this video the kitara is tuned to E3, A4, D5, G5, B5, E6 (notice bottom E is an extra octave lower). Also, tap mode is on, and the sustain function should be enabled.

Ps. I actually took this riff from one of the z3ta showcase sequences, because I thought it sounded awesome!"

"Playing in sync with a delay effect can really make the sound more interesting.

In this video the kitara is tuned to E3, A4, D5, G5, B5, E6 (notice bottom E is an extra octave lower). You also need to set the kitara's MIDI controls as follows:
1. BALL_X = CC16
2. BALL_Y = CC17
3. TOUCH_X = CC18

And on the z3ta synth, set filter cutoff to CC16 and filter resonance to CC17 (you do this by right clicking on the control knobs)."

Hillwood CP-2 Vintage Electric Piano 1970's - Video

YouTube Published on Apr 21, 2012 by abertronic
This one is currently listed on eBay here.

"This a rare electric piano by Hillwood made in the 1970's. It is typical of the keyboards at the time in that it uses a divide down octave circuit to create full polyphony. It has 5 sounds; pino low, piano high, vibe (vibrato), harpsichord low and harpsichord high. It also has a note sustain knob. The presets used in this demo were vibs and harpsichord high. If you after that authentic 1970's electric keyboard sound you cant go wrong with this.

Posting Guidelines - How to Get Posted on MATRIXSYNTH

Just a heads up, remember to check out the posting guidelines before sending in any submissions (you'll find a permanent link on the right in the MATRIXSYNTH-P section and the very bottom right of the Twitter, Facebook, RSS and Email section). I've been getting a few more requests than normal to post people's music. As much as I'd love to, unfortunately I can't. Site rules. The main reason? Not everything can go up and I don't like judging people's music. Everyone has different tastes so who am I to make the call on what would go up. The only option would be to post everything that comes in. If I do that the site would get out of control. So, I use synth spotting and demos as the rule. Note there is a bar. Synth spotting quality has to be as good as everything else that goes up. That I have no problem judging as it's not about personal taste. If you have any questions feel free to ask. If you'd like to share your music, share it on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge. Tons of great music goes up there each day.
