Farewell Trident (Korg Trident Mk I)

video upload by WilliamSalmela

"I did something I thought I never would - sold my Korg Trident synthesizer. I had only a few days to compose a farewell song with that fantastic synth. And this is what I came up with.
'Farewell Trident' by The William Salmela Project.

All sounds are from the Korg Trident Mk I, a synth that was released in 1980. It’s a mighty 8 voice polysynth with 2 VCOs per voice. It has separate synth, brass and string sections that can be layered and played at the same time. For the strings there’s an ensemble effect and on top of all this there’s even an onboard flanger. In this song only additional reverbs and delays are used to effect the sound. The synth was installed with MIDI and it was multitracked in Logic Pro.

Show me a modern piece of kit that sounds like this and I’ll buy it."

Synthetic Ensemble (Yamaha SK-20)

"The William Salmela Project: Synthetic (Analogue), Synthetic Ensemble

All sounds are from a Yamaha SK-20 synthesizer. Additional effects were used.
Video footage from actual recording session.

The SK-20 is my first analog synth and I have used it a lot for it's good sound. The synth is kind of versatile while not very deep programming-wise. There are organ, synthesizer and a very limited string-synth sections. Nice basic sounds are available but not any fancy modulation-stuff is possible. I had to make this piece before selling the synth - it has served me well on many albums. The piece is not the most original composition but it's good stuff anyway - and it sounds lovely analogue!



Effects:

Chorus: Boss RCE-10

Phaser: EHX Small Stone, Roland Phase II AP-2

Delay: Roland SDE-2000, Delay Designer (Logic)


TC-Electronic (Powercore) ClassicVerb, VSS3

Cosmo Synth (Casio CZ-3000)

"The William Salmela Project: Synthetic (Digital), Cosmo Synth
All sounds are from a Casio CZ-3000 synthesizer. Additional effects were used.

I was in a hurry to produce this piece because I sold the synth and hadn't used it in anything yet. While making the piece I began to be a bit fond of the sound of the Casio CZ synth. The overall sound quality is obviously somewhat lo-fi, but it still can deliver surprisingly wonderful sounds. The phase-distortion synthesis of the CZ-series makes quite a variety of sounds possible and it can even produce some analog style stuff. The raw sound of the CZ isn't just as meaty as analogs and the bottom end is pretty weak, but it makes sounds that are difficult or not possible at all with analog synths.

Effects:
Chorus: Boss RCE-10, EHX Small Clone
Phaser: MXR Phase 100
Delay: Roland SDE-2000
TC-Electronic (Powercore) EQsat
Reverb: DVR2, VSS3

"Compatible with the CZ-series; not sure but I think with all the CZ units. I know people used this card with the CZ-101, the CZ-1000 and ofcourse the mighty CZ-1, but according to a forum this unit works in all CZ synths like the CZ-2000, CZ-5000 etc. Maybe some specific settings for non-CZ-1 units are not included in the patches, but I can't confirm this info, just spinning my mind!"
