Keytek CTS-2000 (Jeremy Soule - Menu [Secret of Evermore])
Published on Apr 29, 2013 acreil·67 videos
"Multitracked and heavily processed Keytek CTS-2000 arrangement of the menu screen music from Secret of Evermore. The idea was to do an elaborate "dub mix" on each track individually. Recorded 2009?
All synths: Keytek CTS-2000
Drums: Yamaha RX5, Yamaha RY30
Processing: Tapco 4400, Digitech RDS 3.6, Ibanez SDR-1000, Roland VP-70, Alesis Quadraverb, Boss PH-1, Peavey T-Max, Dave Smith Instruments Evolver, Alesis 1622

Keytek CTS-2000 Cross Wave examples
Published on Apr 29, 2013
"Here are several examples of single oscillator waveform crossfades. The Keytek CTS-2000 can crossfade between 3 waveforms per oscillator, with a 2 stage envelope (two times and an intermediate breakpoint) for each crossfade. The IC responsible for this is the SGS M114S, which was also used in the Cheetah MS800, Amstrad CKX100 and Solton K160, as well as the other Keytek models (CTS-1000G, CTS-400, CTS-5000) and some obscure pinball machines.

Update via acreil in the comments: "I have a writeup on the CTS-2000 that I can publish soon, once I do some editing. Until then I'd like to suggest this as a more appropriate demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiwrJzeDGYg"
Keytek CTS-2000 (Inoyama Land - Shuffer)
Uploaded on Nov 5, 2011
"Arrangement of Shuffer by Inoyama Land, using multitracked Keytek CTS-2000 (rare wavetable synth, now sold). I had modified it some to make the sound brighter. Reverb added in Pure Data (my own algorithm). I just played along to the original rather than use a click track or sequencer. It came out a little messy, but I think it suits the composition. Recorded 2011.

I don't know what's wrong with the likes/dislikes on this video. Analytics shows 24 likes and 0 dislikes, while the video currently shows 3 likes and 29 dislikes. There seems to have been a glitch at some point.
Multitracked Wersi EX20 with Ibanez SDR-1000 reverb. This synth is capable of some highly unusual sounds when (in)correctly programmed, so I thought I'd showcase that side of it. It's sort of a half tribute and half parody of 70s computer music (i.e. Jean-Claude Risset, John Chowning, etc.). I find that sort of music tends to be sometimes brilliant and sometimes ponderously arbitrary (at least from the listener's perspective), so I tried to get a little of each in there.
Due to the bizarre user interface and poor/unavailable documentation, I think very few people have programmed these synths to this extent. At the time I think I only had the German user manual. I have the English manual now, but it omits much of the sound programming stuff.
Most of the interesting territory comes from doing strange things with the pitch and amplitude envelopes. Each stage of the envelope can be assigned a "module" that takes two parameters and does some function like noise modulation, increment, delay, linear or exponential rise or fall, loop, etc. It's even possible to make nested loops. These things don't necessarily behave the way you'd expect (are these undocumented features or bugs?), so it's basically a trial and error process, but the results can be very surprising. Recorded 2010?
Check the (NiCd) memory backup battery if you own one of these. They can leak and cause damage."

"The Wersi is a very deep synth, even today, has an analog filter and uses beautiful additive synthesis, with lots of envelope modulations possible..."
Curious how deep these are. Wersi's are known for more preset auto-accompaniment type machines. You can find some details in this previous post.
