Suiko ST-20 x Synth Café

Dexba

"Trying for the first time my newly arrived koto synthesizer!"

confined spaces #3

Published on Apr 18, 2020 wildchurch

More obscure Japanese gear.

"All Hail the Eye tone

"See your pitch!"

Manufactured by Fuji Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., the Eye tone is an aide to vocal training - plug in a microphone to get visual feedback via it's 2 lamp system. One shows you are within range, the other lights up when you are 'spot on'.

This function, however, lends itself well to monitoring drones. Here, I use it to track pitch coming from a variable speed tape player as I attempt to glide between tones and 'enhance my multi-tasking abilities' beyond their infancy.

Sounds:
O2 Minipops
Hougaku Conductor with step sequencer
2 cassette tape players modified for variable speed:
- one playing a drone, the other birdsong
Suiko ST20 - Shakuhachi/Koto/Pipe Organ 'synth'

Effects:
Aria spring reverb on O2 Minipops
Lots of Korg SDD-3300 on the cassette players
The Hougaku Conductor runs through a Roland VX-66 Echo Mixer and the Suiko ST20 through an ELK EM-13 Analog Echo, before the main mixer"

Visitors - KOTO cover by Asteroid Killer

Published on Feb 13, 2020 AsteroidKillerMusic

"Tribute Thursday!

This video is a tribute to the legendary italo disco group - KOTO

In this short version of their great hit Visitors, I'm using the Carbon sequencer to sequence the bass. The different melodies was played live except the small counter part after the second main riff witch was sequenced on the Matrix Brute and started manually by trigger a key and stopped with a foot pedal. Everything was recorded live in one go to Ableton. The reverb was added in post.

Bass - Moog Grandmother
Main riff - Roland SH101
Second and third melody - Moog Sub37
Counterpart to the third melody - Arturia Matrix Brute
Bridge to the break - ARP Odyssey
Drums - Roland TR707
Sequencer - Kilpatrick Audio Carbon
Reverb - OTO BAM

Original song was recorded and released by KOTO in 1985."

Cs2x Synth Pad & Koto 'I Dream of Tokyo' Song-A-Day & RPM Challenge 25

Published on Feb 26, 2019 ChrisLody

"Song-A-Day & RPM Challenge 25

I spent most of my time tonight crafting this stonking great big pad sound on the Yamaha Cs2x and almost didn't know what to do with it. It ended up turning out nothing like what I was planning when I went in the studio but never mind. So lots of Cs2x synth pad action and it XG (extended general midi) Koto sound which I think sound quite nice in the mix. Apologies for the slightly blurry crossfades, I managed to knock the camera between tracks."

OB6 Oriental/Ethnic Sound Design

Published on Oct 16, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Thought I'd share a short sample of a mid-stage project piece I was working on. The aim was an Oriental sound, but not overtly a single instrument. Therefore, the patch has hints of Koto/Shamisen - even some Indian touches, and Oud etc.

Sometimes the effect of a sound rather than a direct imitation is more effective i.e. a sound can be designed as a 'broad cultural brushstroke' rather than a very specific 'dart' (in which case it is often easier to just record the intended instrument in the first place).

OB6 filter is good for dialing in these kind of sounds quickly.

I don't like to use a label such as 'ethnic' as it can be interpreted negatively, but I'm sure readers understand the intention of the labelling is not derogatory.




As an aside, I was recently interviewed for a German music website - anyone interested can find the piece here - http://movingclassics.tv/classicpeopl...

Lengthy written interview if you have time to spare!

Best
Kris"
