Koma Komplex sequencer

Koma Komplex sequencer - I like it! video upload by David Morley

"I decided to change my analogue sequencer from a Fenix III to a Koma Komplex. After 11 years with the Fenix, I think it was time to travel new paths.

It's a seriously great sequencer. I'll try and do a series of videos on this. Each showing a sequence with some feature being profiled.

Grendel 2TAC analog sequencer with RA-99 Grenadier

video upload by EA78751

"Rare Waves demonstrates the Grendel 2TAC 2-track analog controller with the Grendel RA-99 Grenadier analog synthesizer. The Grendel 2TAC has two tracks of CV-Gate output (1v/oct). For synchronization, it has an internal tempo generator, analog pulse-per-step Clock In/Out, and Reset pulse In/Out. This video tutorial shows some of its pattern editing features, time stretching, creating pattern chains, altering the tuning, mashing several patterns together simultaneously, and generating random patterns. We will be offering a limited issue of the 2TAC as pictured in the video with black aluminum case, walnut sides, and red or yellow LEDs. For easy reference this version comes with the key commands printed as a graphic on the underside of the case. 2TACs are available soon direct from rarewaves.net."

Yamaha EX5 Swell Strings

video upload by SynthMania

"When I was younger I rarely bought brand new gear. To get max. "bang for the buck", most of the times I bought used (remember local newspaper ad sections?). The Yamaha EX5R was one of the few pieces of gear that I bought brand new, on the spot, as soon as I tried it out in the store (Veneman in Springfield, VA, not existing anymore, it burned down) in 1998 or 1999 when it came out. I bought it right then and there because I was so impressed with its sounds and capabilities. It truly was a groundbreaking machine for the time, it was one of the first synths to have polyphonic arpeggiators, categories of sounds, multi-synthesis DSP, Virtual Analog, wind control, 128-voice polyphony, and I could go on and on with the whole kit and caboodle. It was the Yamaha flagship synth / workstation back in those days. Still kept it for all these twenty-five years. Of course, today it's been superseded by modern Yamaha synths, excellent propositions such as the Motif and Montage lines. But the EX5/R/7 still has a special sound that I like very much. I found an old file that contained a quick three-part string ditty that I made on it, utilizing three tracks of the awesome and hypnotic "Swell Strings" patch on it. In this video, I'm soloing the C pan, the L pan, the R pan, and then the ditty in full.

Happy Befana day to all.
