CS80 improvisation 1 - sit back & relax

video upload by The Synth King

"Hi,
here is my first ambient improvisation with a Yamaha CS 80. This instrument has been given to me for thorough inspection. Cosmetically the CS80 is in a quite bad shape, however, from a technical perspective it works almost perfectly. You will notice some issues with one voice distorting and not beeing consistent in volume (probably a bad VCA).
I´m working on a video showing further details on how I came to this instrument or shall I say how this CS80 found me. Stay tuned.
Bernd"

Korg Wavestation: Classic 90s Digital Synth Power

video upload by Espen Kraft

"The Korg Wavestation AD from the early90s. The bastard child of the Sequential Prophet VS.
This is the demo song from my much longer Korg Wavestation video from 2020. It's still available on my channel right here.
Everything in this demo song is coming from the Wavestation AD (module) I use. The Wavestation AD is also the only Wavestation model that has analog inputs and can be used as a vocoder, which you also can hear in this video. To use my own voice as a patch I use the WaveRex PCM card."
