video upload by Hispasonic

"Kurzweil's new models, the K2061 and K2088, could be seen unplugged at NAMM 2024, but this year they were fully functional and we were able to see them, touch them and try them out, paying more attention to the cheaper K2061.

Video index:
00:00 Intro
00:09 Sound demo 1
1:04 Features
4:50 Sound demo 2

🎹 Main technical specifications:
V.A.S.T. synthesis engine with VA capability, 6-operator FM and organ modeling
256 polyphony voices
32 parts per program and 16 MIDI zones
4GB total memory (divided between factory and user)
32 simultaneous effects
16-track sequencer

The keyboards use Fatar mechanisms: TP/9 semi-weighted on the K2061 and TP/40L with hammer action on the K2088. Both models include channel aftertouch and a ribbon controller. The interface has a non-touch 480x272 pixel color display and a set of physical controls. Editor software for Windows and MacOS has been announced.

The K2061 is significantly cheaper than the K2700 ($2,199), while the 2088 is similarly priced ($2,999)."

GAME BOY, volca fm, Moog One, Field Recordings in Tokyo | Verdant Veins 2025-01-28 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the Game Boy, ‪@KORG_INC‬ volca fm2, YAMAHA MU15, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One. Gentle synthesizer sounds overlap against the backdrop of Tokyo city sounds.

The Game Boy sounds are processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY into a lo-fi tone and played back using LSDj, synchronized only in tempo.

The Volca FM2 is saturated through GENERATION LOSS MKII and MICROCOSM while applying reverb effects.

The MU15 has filters and reverb applied using NIGHTSKY.

The field recordings consist of sounds recorded from Tokyo city, including temple bells, bicycle noises, and bird songs. These were recorded with a TASCAM X8."
