Korg PS-3300 + Antonus Step Brother live jam demo improvisation "Last Ride Over The Course of Time"
video upload by wutierson
"Here is the first video of a series with the wonderfully enormous (in all aspects) Korg PS.3300 playing with Antonus instruments. This Korg PS3300 was in Antonus studio and workshop during some months for study, works and of course for enjoy it playing.
This first video is an improvisation using Korg PS-3300 with the Antonus Step Brother sequencer. One wonderful thing is that the Korg PS-3300 can use volt/oct scale using the pitch input and adjusting the level for correct scale making possible to use the Quantized outputs of the Step Brother. This allows to make two different sequences with the Step Brother with the 8/2 mode and play 2 parts of the 3300 (1 and 3) The part 2 is mostly used for melody and chords.
The Antonus Step Brother have many useful parts for creative patching, for interact with some parts of the 3300 and with the Step Brother itself to bring more life, movement and complexity in real time sequences and the main sound. Is is a perfect partner for such instrument, unique for being omniphonic, with patching possibilities, making unique sounds and techniques for this mixture of concepts.
The demo is recorded in one take, no multitrack was used in this recording. Only Korg PS-3300 + Antonus Step Brother + Korg SDD1200 dual delay unit.
The sound of this instruments is very very particular like no other synthesizer, it has the magic of the early synthesizers with all the beauty, the weird, the idealism, the raw, the musical and many other other adjectives proper of this kind of instruments. Is a real travel to the past while examining, studying and playing this instrument.
Thanks to Ernesto Romeo from La Siesta del Fauno studio laboratory in Buenos Aires for bring us for time this awesome piece of electronic music history.

Korg modwave – Modscapes soundset
video upload by Soundsauca
"Welcome to Soundsauca's Korg modwave demonstration. 64 synth performances, showcasing some of modwave's eclectic capabilities.
The soundset includes 64 performances (from this demo), along with another 85 extra. Many are dual layer/split. 104 programs (used in the performances) are also available for use separately.
The demo was created with the modwave native plugin version. Sounds were played, sequenced, arranged & recorded in Logic Pro X @ 44.1 kHz. A limiter was used on the master, no external effects.
Some sounds are overdubbed to allow for the demo to flow. Some fades/cuts are used for the same reason. Many modulation assignments are used, along with the Kaoss pad. Aftertouch is used rarely as the synth doesn't feature it. Hope that’s cool:)
