REALLY REALLY BAD! | MICHAEL JACKSON on HYDRASYNTH, iElectribe & Vogel CMI (Fairlight) | Mini Cover

video upload by Microflat

"I was almost 17 years old. I owned an Italian Elka EK-44 synth but longed for the legendary Roland D-50. Jacko released an out-of-this-world super pop album produced by Quincy Jones and mixed by Bruce Swedien. What a magic couple. Christopher Correll and Greg Phillinganes on excellent Synclavier playing and programming, among others. Incredible handcraft. Supernatural artists.

All audio output effects are default ASM Hydrasynth FX with a bit of compression and mastering done in Adobe Audition. Presets in use are “A114 InYoFaceBass”, “A122 CompThatFunk” and “B086 RighteousOrg”. Drum pattern is delivered by the Korg iElectribe “A19 Minimal 2” preset (BPM 115) with added notes handled by the AKAI MPK Mini controller. The Synclavier-kind-of-orchestral-Hit is delivered by the Vogel CMI (Fairlight) 'ORCH #16' preset."

Blade Runner (1982) | Vangelis on Hydrasynth | Soundtrack | A004 Blade Titles PS Patch

"I was 12 years old. Knew nothing about Ridley Scott, Rutger Hauer or Vangelis. But the atmospheric sound of the now legendary synthesizer Yamaha CS-80 was an instant game changer for me. What on earth was that? The Hydrasynth is a worthy replicant. All audio output effects are default ASM Hydrasynth FX."

STRINGS and PADS on KAWAI MP11SE | Patch Demo | No Talking Just Playing Digital Stage Piano

video upload by Microflat

"This video will demo the 7-octave Kawai MP11SE, a grandiose digital stage piano with 88 wooden keys and a feel/action-ratio like a true grand piano. Many classical pianists actually use this model when rehearsing because of the near-perfectly weighted keys. It reminds me of my old renowned Kawai MP9500 model (2002) which was fantastic. However, this model comes with way more sounds, 256 notes polyphony and extended effects and functionalities. I demo the 4 string patches and the 4 pad patches. All audio output effects are default Kawai MP11SE FX."

"This video will demo the 49-key 4-octave ASM Hydrasynth, a remarkable new synth from Ashun Sound Machines based in Hong Kong. This premium keyboard is nothing but stunning. The polyphonic aftertouch combined with the innovative factory sounds makes it feel almost like a living thing. An organism. Tremendously inspiring to play. Nothing less. I used the arpeggiated version of the multifaceted "A091 Suitcase" patch. Your imagination only sets the bar here.

Microflat

"This video will demo the seriously versatile high-end 6 octave (76 keys) Yamaha Genos synthesizer/workstation/arranger by use of just one patch in one of my own compositions named 'sLOWLY oILED'. I used the slow strings patch 'P1 Kino Strings Warm'. It feels like I am in a movie. The best sounding slow strings that I have ever come across. Period."

"SIRIUS - CHICAGO BULLS THEME SONG": THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT Mini Cover On Korg Prophecy Solo Synth

Microflat

"This video will demo the legendary 3-octave Korg Prophecy solo synthesizer (25 years old) by use of four default patches in a mini cover of The Alan Parsons Project's major 1982 hit "Sirius" from the superb album "Eye in the Sky". A great instrumental song that NBA basketball legends Chicago Bulls used as their theme song back in the day when Michael Jordan was the central force.

I used patch 'A20 Studio Mog 2' for the intro bass, 'B21 Clean Fuzz!' for the first lead pattern, "B45 Trance Arpegg!" for the second lead pattern and 'B36 Re-Bong Strings' bass support. Phew, almost like a Jordan, Pippin and Rodman arrangement by Phil Jackson. With a twist of Minor Key.

Video clips were recorded in 4K (60 fps) on a Panasonic Lumix GH5 and edited in Adobe Rush. Audio was recorded in 96 KHz 24 bit on a Solid State Logic 2+ thunderbolt 3 audio interface straight into Propellerhead Reason 9. FX like a bit of reverb, echo and mastering was added in post-production in Adobe Audition."

Microflat

"This video will demo the legendary 3-octave Korg Prophecy solo synthesizer (25 years old) by use of three default patches in a mini cover of ABBA's major 1980 hit "The Winner Takes It All". A stunning song that I simply love even though the lyrics are quite sad.

I used patch "A39 Neo Bell" for the choir voice, "A53 Mini Korg 700s" for the melody and "B07 Glass Toy" for the structure fill. Tempo is 126 BPM.

Video clips were recorded in 4K (60 fps) on a Panasonic Lumix GH5 and edited in Adobe Rush. Audio was recorded in 96 KHz 24 bit on a Solid State Logic 2+ thunderbolt 3 audio interface straight into Propellerhead Reason 9. FX like a bit of reverb, chorus, dynamics and mastering has been added to the B07 patch in post-production in Adobe Audition in order to imitate the orginal song's piano-driven 'wall of sound'."

DO YOU WANT A LEGENDARY 1985 SYNTH SOUND? Demo of Roland JX-8P

Microflat

"This video will demo a variety of fantastic and inspiring 1980's synthesizer sounds from the legendary grand old lady Roland JX-8P. This model has itches and scrathes from a long life on the road and this particular model literally smells like it has been around plenty of recording studios full of rockstars and groupies on the pipe.

Video clips were recorded in 4K (60 fps) on a Panasonic Lumix GH5 and edited in Adobe Rush. Audio was recorded in 192 KHz 24 bit on a Solid State Logic 2+ thunderbolt 3 audio interface straight into Propellerhead Reason 9.

"SAY SO": DOJA CAT Mini Cover On Legendary Korg Prophecy Synthesizer (1995 Model)

Microflat

"This video will demo the legendary 3-octave Korg Prophecy solo synthesizer (20 years old) by use of four default patches in a mini cover of Doja Cat's major 2020 hit 'Say So'. An extremely catchy summer song.

I used patch "A58 Logg Bass" for the bass, 'A46 Fe-Voice' for the subtle and oddly great dual-tone melody, "Prophetic Steps!" for the pad phrase, and "Circular Reason12" for the outro structure pattern. Tempo is 110 BPM.

Video clips were recorded in 4K (25 fps) on a Sony Cyber-shot DCS RX100 MK IV and edited in Adobe Rush.

Audio was recorded in 192 KHz 24 bit on a Universal Audio Arrow thunderbolt 3 interface and into Propellerhead Reason 9. All audio output effects are default Korg Prophecy patch FX."
