Australian CASIO MIDI Users Club Newsletter 3., CZ Patches & Rock School Courses

Additional scans in via Loscha, who brought us the MIDI PRIMER scans earlier today (higher res pics added there BTW).

The first 11 are the CASIO MIDI Users Club Newsletter 3 featuring the AZ-1 keytar on the cover. Below that are some CZ patches followed by Rock School course agendas. To be there at the time... It made me think of the New York School of Synthesis (if you haven't seen it, don't miss it).

Beyond Oort's Cloud // OP-1

video by Eon Edge

"I'm actually starting to love the OP-1's synth engines. Here's a track featuring a few custom patches I created with the Dr. Wave, Pulse, Strings, and Digital engines.

I also took the whole sampling-the-radio for a spin. The vocal you're hearing comes from a song I happened to capture from the OP-1 radio. I chopped it and used the arpeggiator to create some interesting rhythmic patterns.

Speaking about the arpeggiator. It's surprisingly versatile! I like to experiment with arpeggiated drum patches, and come up with unexpected percussive patterns to layer on top of my programmed beat. The OP-1 will only use the sounds you're playing on the keyboard, and actually pitch shift them to follow the selected arpeggiator mode. Pretty neat!

There's quite a lot of mixing work done behind the scenes in Logic Pro: I came up with a template that makes it very easy to arrange and mix the loops I create on the OP-1. I hope this will push me to create more songs with this setup: it's kind of the best of both worlds, the OP-1 as a portable idea generator machine, and Logic Pro on my computer for the arrangement and mixing part.

Hope you like it!"
