AQUA 無限水 / KITARO 喜多郎 COVER
video upload by ltpstan
"AQUA, another good piece to demonstrate Kitaro's signature sound from the miniKORG 700S/FS.
Inspiration came from the recent live recording of Kitaro. One of the thoughts and observations is that, AQUA has been in played many times live by Kitaro since the 1980s. Possibly, it is one of the pieces Kitaro likes performing.
One of the feelings I have noticed is that, AQUA has alot of mysterious elements, in a way of the chord progression. It is also one of the Kitaro pieces that allows much more emotional expressiveness through the melodies.
The initial release from 'Oasis' album has a rather straight tone but over the years of re-covers by Kitaro, this song has evolved to become more expressive than the first initial release.
In this cover, I chose the 'Harp' sound and the Squar-ish sound from different variations of AQUA. Keeping some of the familiar melodies of AQUA with variation and improvisation. improvisation is something I try to always work on.
Today's playing had a few dexterity issues."

"Quick sound demo of a famous fuzz ported over to MU. Considering a small limited edition run. Sounds too good not to make more IMO. Please let us know what you think!"

You can find demos of the Synkey in previous posts here. There's also an orange accent model.
"Rare as all hens teeth! The EML Synkey punch card synth! Supposedly only 47 were made with the punch card reader!"
The portamento pot needs replacing, the aftertouch also needs adjustment at the keybed, this is a fairly easy procedure and hopefully I can get it done before I ship but can also send documentation on how to do it.
This is the same Oscillator, Filter and Ring Mod included on the EML 101, the Ring Mod is amazing, out of this world and hands down the best ring mod I've ever heard!
The SynKey is a classic programmable polyphonic synthesizer with plenty of unique features. Its sounds are thick and analog. It has thirteen oscillators! That is, one for the primary tone and twelve more for higher semi-tones, each of which are easily accessed by a simple on/off button. You can turn on or off any of the oscillators you wish, and no tuning is necessary! The oscillators only generate square waves and though the synth itself is monophonic, the SynKey is still one fat sounding synth. Its new 'Second touch' is like Aftertouch which gives you filter sweeps, vibrato and pitch bends by pressing harder on the key."

"We fully refurbished this Sonic Six. This was an investment of 29 hours of skilled vintage synth tech time. There's a huge difference between the working condition of this instrument and most of the others that are out there. Ours works perfectly and is a pleasure to play, no excuses. It tracks the keyboard well, which is more than we can say for most others you might find. This unit was fully disassembled and cleaned inside and out. The keyboard bushings were removed and replaced with brand new ones. The key guides were adjusted. All contacts were properly cleaned. All keys were removed and cleaned. Key heights and spacing were adjusted. Some keys were polished. Some screws were replaced with new ones. Replaced all electrolytic capacitors. Cleaned and lubed all potentiometers and switches. Cleaned all jacks. Replaced jack nuts and washers. Replaced trimpots. Recalibrated. Justifiably priced higher than the lesser examples being sold by amateurs who didnt invest nearly 30 hours restoring theirs to work like new again."
