Part 1:

This is such a dream set up - live ambient music.

video upload by Senti mental

"In this video the Yamaha Reface CS is feeding into the Microcosm and Walrus Audio Slöer reverb pedal. I just started playing on the Reface and got caught up in the direction it spontaneously went. Inspired a bit by how Dorian Concept just plays the synth and loops it - no quantising etc."

"This is a 3 minute live Performance with my Yamaha CS60. A spacy drone with a Pink Floyd like lead sound at the end.

Have fun with keyboards!"

"Crazy rare! 1970s Baldwin Syntha-Sound mono synth. Multi preset sections, flute, and filtered synth all in one big cute package with onboard speakers and spring reverb. Everything functioning as it should.

This unit has been fully recapped, brand new speakers installed, cleaned, and repaired in a number of areas. Expression slider has been replaced. multiple keys have been repaired (this is a fairly fragile J-bar keybed so be gentle!). Some replacement slide caps and button covers."

Bad Gear - The Legendary D-50

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Every now and then this show needs some blasphemy, a little slap in the face of iconic music history milestones and one of these 'he’s obviously trolling' moments true Bad Gear fans crave at least once a year.

Today we are going to talk about the legendary D-50. This LA synth and Roland’s answer to the Yamaha DX7 not only had a huge impact on the sound aesthetics of the late 80s, it is also still relevant for Enya Orinoco Flow Covers, creating high end General Midi Kontakt Libraries, channeling your Reagan Era soap opera PTSD AND I might have a point here…

Chapters:
00:00 Intro tune
01:02 Overview Roland D-50
01:11 WTF is Linear Arithmetic Synthesis ???
01:57 Virtual Analog before we called it that way
02:32 Splits and other Multitimbral Pleasures

video upload by Stazma

"Today we dive into the audio mixing utility from the 200t line: the 207t Mixer / Preamplifier.
On top of being a very comfortable mixing desk for your eurorack system there is some fun stuff to do with all it's bonus outputs such as dub mixing, feedback exploration, fat saturation with the preamp and more.
We'll explore some of this in the video, check out the time stamps.

Have fun!!!"

Redshift 6 - From Reset To Preset: Poly-aftertouch Super Saw Keys

video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"On our From Reset To Preset series, we noodle sounds from scratch, and showcase our new Redshift 6 synthesizer in use.

On this lush keys sound, we take advantage of the Redshift 6’s DCO stack to create a thick super saw on each 6 voices. The filter cutoff is modulated with key follow, note velocity and auxiliary envelope, while the amplifier is modulated with LFO and auxiliary envelope to give movement to the sound.

Voices are spread in stereo to add dimension to the sound. On a final touch, the polyphonic aftertouch is assigned to the filter cutoff to offer more expression when playing."
