"Rare, clean condition Korg Poly61m. Battery was professionally replaced last year and PCB board had zero corrosion, very rare for a synth of this age. This synth sounds incredible, MIDI works perfectly and it'll last for decades if taken care of well.
Comes with original cables + rare patch cassette tape."
"Cosmetic Condition: Dead stock. We pulled it out of the original box and plastic! Has the headphone jack plug. It is missing one of the original slider caps which we have replaced, along with vacuuming out the foam and cleaning the sliders and switches."
Floppy Drive on your S900 not working?
Does it take a while to warm up before the floppy starts working right?
You may be able to bring your disk drive back to life and/or improve its performance with a little cleaning and maintenance. In this video I show how the S900 floppy drive can be removed and cleaned with some simple tips.
Why would anyone want to mess w/ archaic floppy disk drives? While USB drive emulators are available which greatly increase the
convenience and storage capacity of sample banks...
For me it's nostalgia. I just like floppies, you can still find boxes of blank floppies at thrift stores and garage sales. I also still use cassette tapes, some vinyl, and still buy CDs as well.
These tips may not guarantee results in every situation. The S950
and other samplers may differ in design/construction. However, these tips may possibly help you with other devices like E-mu, Ensoniq, Kawai, etc.
Beware! If you're not confident or experienced in electronic
disassembly or repair, there's no shame in taking your sampler to a
qualified technician. Floppy drives are delicate and have easily
broken parts and bezels. You MUST unplug your sampler before
attempting any service inside. Take all necessary precautions
regarding static electricity discharge so as to not damage any
sensitive electronics inside."
"Here's a little preview of NanoStudio 2, coming to iPad very soon!
NanoStudio 2 is a powerful music production environment for recording, synthesis, sampling, arranging, editing and mixing. It’s the successor to the original NanoStudio, an app held in high regard by musicians for many years for its usability, quality and productivity.
With six years development behind it, NanoStudio 2 builds upon the same design principles that made its predecessor so popular and then takes a quantum leap with a massive range of extra features and a new audio engine delivering truly professional sound quality. Everything is optimized for CPU efficiency, so complex projects with many instruments and effects are handled with ease.
This is a complete in-the-box solution to production, enabling you to develop your initial musical ideas right through to a final master with an intuitive workflow carefully designed to get things done.
NanoStudio 2 is a fully featured host for external Audio Unit (AUv3) instruments and audio/MIDI effects. A library of all your AU instruments and presets is maintained so they’re in one place – tagged, searchable and just as accessible as NanoStudio’s own internal instruments.
For composing and arranging there are powerful fully featured editors for songs, MIDI parts, automation and samples. All editors share a clean and consistent user interface which means you’ll be up to speed with them in no time.
"Making an ambient song from scratch using only one synth (Moog Grandmother). I try to keep things very minimal and sparse and resist my urge to add melodies and chords 😂. The music is composed to some mountain pixel art I made the other day. #onesynthchallenge
Brian Eno coined the term 'ambient music' and I'd definitely recommend listening to his "Music for Airports" album for a good example of ambient music."
"Here we have the 2hp Div clock divider and multiplier for Eurorack systems. It's 2hp as you'd expect and can divide or multiply an incoming clock (I push it with some audio in the video good for chi-tune glitchy digital like tones) by 12, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 16. There's CV over the two channels allowing for a range of shifting polymetric, polyrhythmic or ratcheting/bursting rhythmic patterns. Good fun when driving sequencers as well as percussive patches"
"Noodling around with chord memory function to beef up sounds - all mashed via a Korg Super Section PSS-50
MiniBrute added on bass.
Was aiming for a Super Mario trip on mushrooms but not sure I got there."
Gemini Horror showcases the midi delay with a Korg Volca FM and a MicroKorg.
MIDI delay creates a copy of entered notes, simulating a standard delay effect, but using velocity midi data:
- TIME is the amount of time between the original notes and the delayed notes.
- REPEATS is the number of delayed notes.
- GAIN changes the MIDI velocity of each delayed note. The velocity of the delayed notes will be gradually decreased or increased.
- DRY/WET changes the midi velocity of all notes (if 0%, you will only hear the original notes, if 50%, you will hear both the original notes and the delayed notes, if 100%, you will only hear the delayed notes).
