Yamaha CX5M II: el MSX musical

Published on Feb 3, 2014 Hispasonic·162 videos

"Yamaha CX5M es un sistema MSX presentado en 1984 por Yamaha. ¿Qué le diferenciaba de otros MSX de la época? Un módulo sintetizador FM de cuatro operadores."

A rare look at the Yamaha CX5M II software editor interface.

The one thing these and other controllers are missing is a simple indentation along the back to rest your iPad in.

PIANA 2.0 multi-synth test

Published on Feb 3, 2014 Pi Synth·31 videos

"This is synth pap at its worst, and makes me laugh out loud. A couple of weeks ago I set the completion criteria for PIANA 2.0 as a synth engine - a) it must be capable of playing a reasonable version of Being Boiled, and (for some reason) b) it must be capable of playing a version of Mama Weer All Crazee Now in the style of The Future. Sadly there is nothing remotely Marsh-n-Ware about this, except the glamtastic handclaps - it's all rather Popcorn by Hot Butter. But it's done.

8 synths, 4 of them percussive - an unused 'snappy tom', the Don Powell shuffle snare, the '808' kick which is just the resonant filter and an EG, and the Glitterclap. The 4 tuned synths are affectionately 'Jim', 'Nod Guitar', 'Dave' and 'Nod Guide Vocal' - I had to stick in the melody line of the vocal because I could not for the life of me work out what the notes were supposed to be in the chorus. Perfect pitch passed me by when the skillsets were handed out at birth.

The weird timing glitches are because this was sequenced in Logic, then played over WiFi to the iPad, and that is about as bad as it gets for MIDI timing.

Total CPU consumption, 65% of a single core of an iPad 2. All sounds 'analog', as in no samples at all - just LFSR noise generator, virtual oscillators, virtual EGs and virtual filters.

I shouldn't be rude about it, it really is quite sweet."

Delptronics-Booty Shaking Breaks

"Aside from the Monotribe, which is the only synthpart on the track ,all sounds are from the = Delptronics LDB1e and Thunderclap modules. I processed with: Modules: Audio Damage ADM02+ADM03, Wiard Boogie Filter
Plugins: Eventide H3000, Audio Damage Eos, Audio Damage Ronin FX: Korg Mini KP

I tracked a couple jam sessions with the LDB1E at either the same or relative tempo, bounced the jam sessions down and used the stems in a new live session to mix and match.

Arturia Minibrute Synthesizer Demo with Rat distortion, and The Holy Stain.

Published on Feb 2, 2014 Chris Duenas·4 videos

"Skip the intro, Music is at 1:20. Just a sample of sounds and noises from the Arturia Minibrute. I used The Holy Stain for some Reverb and Pitch Shift as well as the Rat for distortion. It's kind of long, but still rad."
