New Details on the One Off Digital Hohner Bass 3

Remember the odd Hohner Bass 3 with Digi Bass control section posted here? Well, Kenny Balys of beatkamp won the auction for £279 or roughly $403. He still does not know the specific history of the synth, so if you know feel free to leave a comment below. He did, however, discover the following:

"The advert said:

'It is fully working with a nice and unique sound.'

This was far from an exageration.

I have a few answers now as to what is going on with this thing....

First off, in playing it the sound is exactly in line with 80s industrial type synth pop; that was a surprise.

The controls feature multiple patches that a "proper" Hohner Bass 3 do not have. (see Ebay photos)

So the answer to the question of what is up this thing is this:

- it is a custom 1 off
- the patch select board is very professionally done
- all the original Hohner 3 sound guts are gone
- there is now another board in there based on the Yamaha YM2203 FM chip!!! Its now an FM bass

Whoever did this made incredible patches, it sounds amazing. I will make plenty of use of this crazy synth.

I cannot tell if its an official Hohner prototype or the product of a Juergen Haible type of persona but it is very well done.

Will post back links later tonight on where you can grab photos (and they will be public domain.

This Bass 3 is no longer an analogue synth but as a "former analogue" I hope that its not too OT here on AH.

Should I be upset that I paid good money for a gutted out Bass 3? Probably but I am really quite pleased with this instrument as it sounds how I want with this amazing Hohner key response."

Nord Piano 3 Stage Piano Demo by Kraft Music

Published on May 11, 2016 Kraft Music

More piano than synth in this demo as expected, however it is a look at what else Clavia/Nord Keyboards is working on, and Kraft Music is an appreciated sponsor of the site. Some strings blended in throughout and then by themselves at 12:44. It is interesting how much went into the Nord Stage and how much control you actually have vs. standard preset electronic pianos.

Roland JP-8000 Organs + patching session

Published on May 11, 2016 synth-love

"My re-discovery of the Roland JP-8000 continues.

This time I create some organ patches. Yes, organs. A sound I despised in my youth now newly appreciated made on the most un-organ of synths - the JP-8000 famous for its massive supersaw leads and pads.

Organs aren't particularly hard to program but I still find them satisfying.

All sounds direct from JP-8000 to recorder. Ignore the Kaoss pad in the background, it is not in use."
