"Not all analogue classics have keys. The Xpander was an early module that packed in more features than its moderate size would lead you to expect, and left a legacy still discernible in modern synth design.
Boasting six independent voices, the XP-1 combines analogue audio generation (VCOs, VCAs & VCFs) with the flexibility of digital workflow. Part of the original concept of the XP-1 was to replace the wire-laden modulation of previous years with a more immediate and elegant approach. The result is a graceful yet highly versatile and powerful synthesis experience."

"How to really understand programming the Casio CZ Series from the CZ-101 to the CZ-1
https://hyperfollow.com/scififunk/
This series demonstrates how the synth works at a detailed level. By the time you have watched them all, you will have a great idea of how all the parameters interact for making sounds.
The Casio CZ-101 was my very first poly synth bought way back in 1985."
00:00 CZ-101, CZ-1 Introduction to programming using the Virtual CZ plugin.
00:40 We start with most basic sound BUT with Velocity sensitivity, so the sound is alive as you play (tone movement).
01:51 Fine tuning movement. The built-in chorus, plus Chorus defined (technically).
02:56 More fine tuning movement. A manual chorus - using the Vibrato section.
03:41 Harmonic movement. Using a chord that doesn’t resolve. E.g. C Maj 7 flat 5.
04:22 Add a vintage reverb with a long tail and the sound comes alive.
05:17 Using Detune to add movement. Line 1 + Line 1 or Line 1 + Line 2.
07:25 Future lessons will use the Envelopes to add further movement.
00:00 Combining Sawtooth and Square Waves (keeping the same octave discussion) 01:00 Combining Sawtooth with the other waveforms inc. Resonance waveforms. 01:51 How resonance waveforms can work the same as a resonance slider. 04:11 Using resonance to sound a bit like a vocal sound (low-end frequencies). 06:01 54% is the magic number for performance vibrato (demo as well) 06:25 Stacking. Super Saw wave examples. 07:29 Ring modulation add complexity (or fuzziness) to a sound.
Casio CZ Synth PROGRAMMING. 3 of 4. “2 Osc FULL CONTROL”. (CZ 101, CZ 1000, CZ 5000, CZ 1)
00:00 How to have full control over 2 oscillators. Set up explained. 02:16 Start point. A tiny delay means it sounds like its being phased/flanged. 03:19 Lets hear how each combination of waveforms sound. 04:00 The threshold for hearing the same waveform on the other oscillator. 04:50 Using envelopes to smooth filter sweeps. 05:35 More combinations. 06:39 Pulse width discussion. Using Filter sweeps to hear the differences in waveforms)

"I've been playing around with the KORG modwave and polyphonic aftertouch lately, and it's a lot of fun! The modwave feels like it was made for polyphonic aftertouch, with all its modulation features and the extremely powerful, flexible, and good-sounding synth engine. Playing with polyphonic aftertouch is a joy, but at the same time it requires some practice. I'm training my fingers to press down on the keys more gently and with greater nuance, but I still have some way to go. I thought I'd share this video of today's practice session, to perhaps inspire others to try polyphonic aftertouch with this synth as well.
The audio is recorded to SD card on a Zoom R16 mixer/recorder and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on a Canon EOS M50 mk2 with the included EF-M 15-45mm lens. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 18 (free version)."
"Chompi is great.. but, it has some funky quirks that I was not expecting when I first turned it on! When compared to other samples, the Chompi Sampler mimics more of a tape loop than anything and its actually why i bought one. So today, let's talk about the Chompi Pros and Cons, an overview, a review, as well as the one reason why I love it and bought it in the first place! Varispeed recording."
Happy New Year to you all! Here is my new song "Dune", which I composed and recorded live just using the Moog Sub 25 together with the Valhalla Supermassive. It has also been the intro of my recent live sets. I love this jam because it is something very different from the things that I usually do and also transports a big cinematic energy. Hope you dig it too and have an awesome 2024. 💜
"I finally got the control board for my analog polysynth working. It's sixteen rotary encoders which can be freely assigned to any of the synthesizer's parameter. There is a 16x2 display for user feedback.
Make sure to check out the video playlist on the build process of the voice card and the main board:"
