Synth Quest Episode 5 | Korg Poly-800

Published on Feb 27, 2019 madFame

"In this episode of Synth Quest we take a look at the Korg Poly-800. This video is the most in-depth, high-quality demo of the Korg Poly-800 on the internet, I hope you enjoy it!

I rescue and repair unwanted synths and drum machines and put them back into service, making music as they were intended. In this video series I present some of the history and sounds of the various synths and drum machines here in my studio.

If you have any unwanted synths and drum machines that you would like to contribute to Synth Quest, you can email me at madfame@madfame.com"

Radiophonic Ones - A Simple Sequence

Published on Feb 27, 2019 suitandtieguy

"Using two Radiophonic One systems to make a nice thick sequence. Two .VCOs tuned a fifth apart with Drift Generator rate set in the slow range, and just a little bit of their modulation added, into a .MIX with the sawtooth of both and a touch of the suboctave square of the fundamental mixed in, into the Sea Devils Filter modulated by pitch CV and a 23 second period linear trapezoid modulation from one Envelope Generator controlling the amount of the other Envelope Generator. The main Envelope Generator is used for a basic triggered pluck with the curve control set about 70 percent of the way towards Logarithmic from Linear. Effects are a Lexicon Alex hall reverb and a TC D-Two basic delay. As the video progresses I tweak the drift generator amounts and the amount of filter modulation from the VCAed pluck control."

"Lovin' the atmosphere you can create with the Elektron M:S.

Some new patterns I created and jammed with.
Extra FX from Turnado and compressor/signal boost from FAC Maxima on the iPad."

2. Elektron Model:Samples & iPad Jam 1

Custom samples and patterns on the M:S being routed through the iPad (midi and audio) for additional FX/processing with Turnado, Bleass Delay & FAC MAXINA

Spotted this one on the excellent discchord.

Hpi TBX1 Tuning Box

"This box can implement microtuning capabilities to most midi synths that respond to pitch bend cc’s. It works best with multitimbral synths or those that have Mode 4 (guitar mode, mks50, esq-m) for polyphonic use but can work for monophonic synths too. It has over 400 tunings included but you can upload your own from a computer. I highly recommend getting HPI’s Custom Scale Editor software if you pick this up as its easier and more intuitive than Scala for creating your own scales. Comes with original power supply.

Waveform can be saved/loaded via a 3.5″ DSDD drive or USB floppy emulator. Additive synthesis features 24 harmonics (shape can be drawn) in 24 a wave sequence (max) with dedicated time slice pitch and amplitude EGs."
