Faceoff - Korg Arp Odyssey fs vs. MFB Dominion 1

Published on Aug 25, 2017 Cave Way

"Here folks we have a good ol' fashioned synth grudge match. In one corner we have the Korg Arp Ody FS sporting 2 Osc's that can sear and funk with the best of them, and in the other corner we have the slippery when wet Dominion 1 capable of modulating space and time.... possibly even lunch... Who will win? I'm not sure, but I know your face will lose when it begins to melt. Hope you enjoy!"

KORG MS-10 + OTO MACHINES BAM ~ Will They Pair? Ep.26

Published on Aug 25, 2017 once upon a synth

"Pairing the Korg MS-10 with the OTO Machines BAM. The MS-10 is a vintage analog monophonic synthesizer from Korg made in the 80s. The BAM is a modern reverb effects unit made by OTO Machines in France. Together they pair quite nicely. The BAM is based on 70s/80s classic reverbs like the old lexicons. It adds a lovely smooth reverb which complements the simple vintage tone of the MS-10."

Serge Paperface '78 - TKB fun

Published on Aug 25, 2017 batchas

"Enjoying the new calibration I did a few days ago on all 1v/oct controllable sound sources.
I recorded the all session in 7 snippets to share here with you. It's obviously not about the way I play it, but simply about the sound this original Serge Paperface System is capable of producing (of course there's reverb added after the mixer) and the possibilities given by the capacitive touch-sensitive keys of the Touch Keyboard Sequencer

I just like this kind of sounds and the organic, accoustic touch given by the TKB, even in very simple patches as this one here."

Quick nostalgia review - The Complete Guide to Synthesizers, Sequencers and Drum Machines - 1985

Published on Aug 25, 2017 Espen Kraft

You can find it on Amazon here. I also added it to the book thumbnails above.

"A quick review of a book that had colossal impact on me in 1985 as a young teenager looking to buy my first synth.

The complete guide to Synthesizers, Sequencers and Drum Machines by Dean Friedman.
I read it for hours each day, memorizing each word about the synths he goes through in the book.
I finally decided upon the Akai AX-80, pretty much because of his opinion in the book.
In 1987 the book disappeared, and now after 30 years I've got it back thanks to a member of a Facebook synth group.
It's so much fun going through this book again and many of the synths that were very new at the time the book was written has since became classics and the author was right in some of his predictions back then, and in some cases he was not.

If you have the chance to pick it up online or elsewhere I highy suggest you do so as it is so much fun to read. Even more so today than back then maybe.

The two tracks you hear in the background is from my album Those Days and you can find that on Bandcamp, Soundcloud (singles) and on all streamin platforms like Spotify and iTunes.
