QUASIMIDI THE RAVEN MAX Synthesizer 1996 | HD DEMO

Published on Sep 3, 2017 AnalogAudio1

"(c) 2017 by AnalogAudio1

I played the Quasimidi Raven without any additional effects or eq. All effects and sounds including the intro come from the Raven Max. I play mainly factory sounds.

The Raven was developed and produced by Quasimidi in Germany in 1996. It was not the first blue synth from Germany ;-). Quasimidi closed its doors in 2000. The Raven has 2 modes: 1. the PERFORMANCE mode, which allows you to combine 4 sounds with 2 effect processors, with arpeggiators to a "performance". 2. the SEQUENCER mode, where you can combine (preset) part patterns (for bass, sequencer, chord, drums...) to achieve new authentic electronica/techno styles. The 2 effect processors are editable and can be added to the single parts. Muting of single parts in realtime possible.

Later, the MAX expansion came out, which expanded the Raven with 1000 new sounds, 64 MB new sample material, new loops and motivs and new OS with new functions. Later Raven keyboards were sold exclusively with the MAX. The Max came out with its own 33 page manual to describe the new functions. And yes, it is possible to create own motivs and patterns, but the concept is clearly designed for the preset user.

Back in the day, the RAVEN was the only way to make techno tracks with one single keyboard, it was the first of its kind. Later, the big manufacturers took Quasimidi's concept further (or should I say they actually stole it?) - Yamaha with the QS300 and CS1x, Roland with the JX-305 Groovesynth, just to name a few.

From 8:15 it gets groovy ;-)"

FEATURING:
I recently scored a (pretty beat up) Quasimidi Raven synthesizer/groovebox on eBay!
For fun, I've sampled over 100 sounds from it into the Elektron Digitakt.
In this video, I show 14 grooves that I wrote in the Digitakt, using *ONLY* the sounds that I directly sampled from the Quasimidi Raven.

Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!"

"Quasimidi The Raven including the rare MAX sound-card extension!!
In addition, a CD with 650 sounds and 150 arpeggios is included.

The RavenMAX is in perfect technical condition. Optically excellent, apart from some marks on the right side of the screen bezel which can be seen on the pictures.

The Raven is a very underrated synth. Originally marketed for Techno/Rave Music, it is actually an outstanding synth for Ambient Music and Atmospheric Sounds as it can be seen in the 'Quasimidi Raven Ambika' video" [posted here]

"Built in 8 track sequencer on the Sirus/Polymorph tip. You can layer up to 4 sounds Built in samples are absolutely nutty, 303, 909, etc... It also functions as a great controller keyboard, just ask Kraftwerk This Raven Max is in great condition and 100% functional The Max expansion adds twice as much onboard samples and presets"

Update via Qwave in the comments:
"Notice the picture of the manual: it does show the Quasimidi in the studio of Klaus Schulze. One of the R&D persons of Quasimidi is Jörg Schaaf (now Mr. Spectralis) is a friend to Klaus. So he drop in from time to time and showed Klaus the new Quasimidi stuff then. Klaus Schulze still uses a Quasimidi as his main keyboard in a drawer below the mixer and the computer displays.
Here are more pictures of Klaus studio with Quasimidi keyboard shown:

"Here is a rare vintage virtual analog German synth in excellent condition. Cleverly called The Raven, this synth immediately gets you in the ballpark for dance, electronic, techno, EDM, IDM. Has a built in sequencer with synth and drum sounds. Cosmetically, very nice condition and includes a custom black synth cover as seen in photos. The only blemishes are a small scratch over “The Raven” logo and on the underside of the wooden sides have a bit of wear (both as pictured). The screen is nice, bright, and clear (though my phone camera does not show a good job of it). To be clear, this does not have the Raven MAX card installed. Thanks for looking!

The Raven is a mid-90's virtual analog synthesizer by the German company Quasimidi. Designed to tailor to dance music genres, the Raven features a full palette of preset sounds, 8-track sequencer, 24 voice polyphony, arpeggiators, and the "Motivator" feature for programming real-time parameter changes."

"I used the same sequence on the polymorph as in the short demo but now played random. Drums, percussion and a bassline come from the 309, there is some rythmic noise and another bass sequence from the polymorph."

Googlish:
"There was once a small, fine blacksmith named Quasimidi synthesizers. Of them have been privileged to produce a manageable number of successful, highly popular digital sound module ...

Among other things, this variator is a modification of [the more familiar "Raven" - different design, Raven-Max] extension and new, unique and powerful sound, designed for the Quasimidi presentation in the Musikmesse Frankfurt in 1997, where he was also the first time was presented.

There is the Quasimidi variator only six times in the world - absolute collector's item and unique opportunity!

There is allegedly one of them owned by Jean-Michel Jarre ...

"In essence the Raven is like having a Rave-O-Lution 309 inside a professional keyboard. The sound/sequence engine takes its lead from classic instruments such as Roland's TB303 Bassline and TR909 drum machine..."

The man behind Quasimidi was Jörg Schaaf who now runs Radikal Technologies.

Quasimidi Raven Sequencer Explained

Quasimidi Nucleus

Title link takes you to the source of the Nucleus shot below. I remember when the Nucleus buzz came out. People, including me, were drooling at the thought of this synth hitting the market. It was never released, and shortly after, the Polymorph was. It's still not clear whether the Nucleus was a Polymorph with keys, more, or something completely different. If you know, feel free to comment. In searching for more info I ran across SYNRISE's page on Quasimidi. It's worth checking out. They also list a QM-One and a Photon prototype Raven, along with the other Quasimidi synths.

Nucleus

Update via erminio in the comments back in 2006: "There's a Nucleus posted on ebay... the owner says there are only 3 pieces in the world. And it seems in good shape too!!! Hope it will serve you m8s"

However, via acemonvw in 2014 in the comments: "The Quasimidi Nucleus was planned as a Polymorph with more voices and a keyboard. What you see at that picture isn't a prototype - it's just the dummy. The Nucleus never reached the prototype level. The project was cancelled shortly after the musicmesse in Frankfurt, where the Nucleus was presented under glass. Does anyone remember the photon? Nearly the same story but a little bit earlier."
