I made a sound like the one I made with the Quantum. But this time I added a third part, using the possibility that the Moog One gave me within third timbre.

Thank you."

"A very rare and desirable Yamaha cs-80 that was modified by the Yamaha custom shop to have split and unison as well as a “FG filter mod” controllable by the selector switch to sweep through preset filter stages. There are a lot of extra circuit boards in the synth for these modifications"

"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."

Casio CZ Synth PROGRAMMING

video uploads by Scifi Funk

Follow-up to this series below.

"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."

Playlist:

Casio CZ Synth PROGRAMMING. 1 of 4. “Creating movement”. (CZ 101, CZ 1000, CZ 5000, CZ 1 etc)

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.

Casio CZ Synth PROGRAMMING. 2 of 4. “Combining Waveforms”. (CZ 101, CZ 1000, CZ 5000, CZ 1)

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)

Polyphonic Aftertouch on the KORG modwave

video upload by Waveformer

"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)."
