Korg DS-8 Sound Demo all 100 presets. Korg’s FM Synthesizer from 1987. Very little talking.

video upload by Ted murena

"in 1987 Korg launched its FM synthesiser to compete with legends, the Yamaha DX7 and the Roland D 50. They absolutely named it. The cord DS8 as a digital synthesiser with eight note polyphony let’s hear what the synth can do using it’s presets. We’ll also cover some of the other features of this keyboard."

"A good entry level digital synth. It's small in size, simple in its design and offers fairly easy editing. It is a digital FM type synthesizer which makes some very thin and digital but sometimes interesting sounds. The synth engine is similar to the DS-8 without on-board effects. It has 8 parts so each voice can play a different patch, and is completely programmable through MIDI. It isn't necessarily useful for any professional work but if you want a lo-fi cheesy digital sound from a toy-like synthesizer then give the 707 a try! It can even be strapped on like a guitar. It is used by Juan Atkins."

"Working perfectly, very unique sounds

The DS-8 is Korg's contender among synths like the Roland D-50 and Yamaha DX7. It is a digital FM synthesizer with 4-operators per voice, 8 voices of polyphony and 8 parts multitimbrality. It's good for percussive, strange effect noises and such because its sound (similar to the DX7) is so unique. It has some digital effects such as chorus, flange, delay and analog-like controls for modulators, envelopes and the LFO. A joystick provides control of modulation and pitch bending. It also has a performance section for quick edits on the fly using (3) real-time sliders to control timbre, EG1 and EG2. A nice alternative to the common DX-7."

"Finally I get to demo the Korg Prologue 8! It's so beautiful!
Perfect Analog / Digital / Hybrid synthesizer power!
I am working on a new ambient electronic album due out in
spring 2021 called "Into The Earth", it requires a ton of digital
and dark metallic textures. Music & sounds from within Earth.
Currently I'm using a Nord Lead 1, Yamaha TX7 (DX7 module),
Korg O1W/FD, Roland Juno-DS & now the Korg Prologue 8.
They are PERFECT for my new recordings!
I have a Sikhote Alin iron meteorite from Russia on the Prologue 8 :)

Korg ds-10 syncing the korg nts-1, the teenage engineering op-z & ipad: Setup, settings & tutorial

michaelnervous

"Using the Korg ds-10 as a clock source I show you how to setup and sync the ds-10 to the korg nts-1 and the teenage engineering OP-Z (as well as the ipad app for the op-z -motion Graphics).
by making a click track and sending that audio signal into the sync in of the nts-1 and then having the nts-1 send a midi clock signal to the op-z.

And if you are using the iphone/ipad op-z app you then have video in sync to the ds-10 also.
The great thing here is you can basically turn the audio clock source from the Korg ds-10 into midi data and use with ipad apps or an external synth.

Korg Ds10, Volca Sample, Volca Keys PO-14 Sub - Ds-303 Acid - Song-a-day Feb 5th

Published on Feb 5, 2020 ChrisLody

"For today's song-a-day I once again turned to acid (:D) but with a bit of a twist. Playing the part of a tb-303 in this video is Korg Ds10 running on a Nintendo Ds. Who knew Ds10 could make such a convincing 303 sound? Helped along by a dose of Zoom 1201 reverb it sounds the part to me! The Volca Keys plays a long 8 bar pad-ish sound using it's 'Fifth' setting, the Volca Sample is loaded up with 808 and 909 samples and the Pocket Operator Sub plays a deep bass line alongside everything. Reckon this one could do with being made into something longer, and turn those dam claps down!

Sync is running from the Ds to the Volcas and then to the Pocket Operator btw. It's the only way I can get it all to sync up. I'm also using the Sample as I 2 channel device with the kick panned left and all the other drums right so they can have reverb and not the kick."

Korg 707 Performing Synthesizer w/ Original Box

"This is a Korg 707 performance synthesizer, essentially a Korg DS-8 without effects. It's a fun 4 operator FM synth with 49 velocity sensitive keys and aftertouch. What sets it apart from other FM synths is it's performance control sliders and friendlier programming interface.

It can also be strapped as a keytar, if you want to channel your inner Herbie Hancock.

This unit is tested and 100% fully functional. All sliders, buttons, jacks, and keys work flawlessly. The LCD backlight is still very bright."

Korg DS-8 realtime sound editing

Published on Mar 1, 2019 Stereoping

"Some demo snippets showing the DS-8, Korg's FM-Synthesizer with two Oscillators and built in effects like modulation Delay, Flanger, Chorus .... The DS-8 is claimed to be hard to program. After understanding the concept - which is much easier and funny using a hardware midicontroller - it appears to be quite simple. The demo shows some MIDI settings which need to be adjusted on each powerup as the DS-8 does not remember them. Then some playing with the effects, timbre, spectrum and modulation generator. You will see - and HEAR - a complete hangup of the DS-8 as it does not seem to like SysEx-Editing the AMP envelopes. Last part shows the sonic bandwidth of the DS-8's FM-Synthesis by setting OSC 2 to XMOD and playing with the parameters."

Boss DR-110 analog drum machine (1983): unboxing, tutorial, review and TR-808 bass drum mod.

Published on Nov 26, 2018 2kB of Fun

"Boss made a couple of budget analog drum machines. After the first, the DR-55, they came with the Dr. Rhythm Graphic in 1983.

In this video the DR-110 gets unboxed, you will see how to operate it, and it wil be modified to make the analog bass drum a longer bass drum, to mimic the sound of the Roland TR-808.

The iMac G4 in the back captures the sound from the DR-110 using classic Phonic Firefly 302 FireWire audio interface.

Filmed with a Nikon D850 in 4K, a 28mm 2.8 AIs and a 85mm PC-E Tilt-Shift lens.

I'm wearing a custom made Korg DS-8 T-shirt."
