Korg Minilogue

Published on Oct 15, 2016 SyntheticMachines

"These are six little pieces were made with the Korg Minilogue. Six short multitrack demos. Sometimes I've used the internal

sequencer/Arpeggiator, sometimes with external FX, and/or with the Korg Minilogue Delay.
Note: If you're searching for a demo with dry single sounds without FX & Mixing, please go to another video on YT. There are enough other

videos out there demonstrating this. These are short demo tracks with mixing + FX. They should demontrate the huge amount of different

sound variations of the Korg Minilogue. Everything is from the KM including the drums. I was surprised how easy it was making interesting

drum sounds (e.g. simmons drums)
As always multitrack recordings with mixing & FX."

Eurorack Modular + K 2000

Published on Jul 10, 2016 SyntheticMachines

"An Experimental Ambient Electro demo made with the Kurzweil K-2000 and an Eurorack Modular System. Many short click and cuts from the Modular were sampled into an AKAI S 3000 and sequenced with Cubase. Some lines were sequenced and recorded directly into the DAW. Other lines were played with the MFB Urzwerg. The vocals were processed with the Electrix Warp Factory Vocoder and/or the EMS Vocoder 2000. As always a multitrack recording with some FX."

Roland Promars Compuphonic MRS-2

Published on Dec 6, 2015 SyntheticMachines

"Old School Electro Roland Promars Demo: Multitrack recording synthesizer demo with the Promars + TR 808 + Electrix Warp Factory Vocoder
Spiced with some FX. The Promars ( Full name is Promars Compuphonic MRS-2 ) is basically the monophonic version of the Jupiter 4, but with 2 VCO's instead of one Osc + sub. But you can't fully control the second OSC , only the detuning."

Kraftwerkian track.

Teisco Synthesizer 60F

Published on Oct 16, 2014 SyntheticMachines

"What a beautiful sounding synth! The Teisco 60F is the little brother of the 110F. A simple one oscillator machine, but with a rich phat sound. And with one of the most beautiful PWM i've ever heard. Sometimes it reminds me of the Yamaha CS 50 / 80.
Beside the piano ( K2000 custom samples + AMS Neve RMX 16 Reverb ) and the wide delay/reverb guitar, all sounds are made with the Teisco synth. As usual a multitrack recording with fx."

Roland MKS 7 Super Quartet

Published on Jan 6, 2014 SyntheticMachines·32 videos

"This is a small demo from the Roland MKS 7. This module is a Juno 106 in a box ( without the portamento but with vcf / vca velocity ) + the TR 707 12bit drum machine
(11 sounds) + a monophonic bass synth part. The Juno 106 is splitted into a 2 voice
( melody ) and a 4 voice part ( chords ), the chords part missing the noise
generator. The bass part does not have the sub-osc or LFO (why??).
Melody + chords can be combined to form one 6 voice synth. Yes, a strange
architecture, the whorst thing is, that you can't save any patch. There is no user
memory. You can use the Juno 106 as a controller, but it also works with a sysex
midi editor.
As usual a multitrack recording with some external fx. I've mostly used
the melody or the chord parts for all my sounds. The bell is the Yamaha RX 5
drumcomputer."

Roland System 100M

Published on Oct 13, 2013 SyntheticMachines·31 videos

"This is a demo from the Roland System 100M. The entire track was made with this system. As usual a multitrack recording + some FX.
Roland had offered 3 modular systems. The Roland System 700, the half-modular System 100 and this one.
Beside the large expensive System 700, this was more affordable for the customers...

This is the System D with the modules 112,121,130,140 and 150."

Akai VX 90 Demo Video

Published on Aug 24, 2013 SyntheticMachines·30 videos

"This is a small demo from the AKAI VX 90. Actually a basic one-osc VCO synth ( 6 voices ), but with some special features like the PWM over all waveforms, FM, Chorus FX, Unison Modus this unit shines with a very nice analog sound. All sounds from the VX 90, exept the snare, rim and the short toms ( Roland TR-808 ), the HH and the clap are the drumatic 3 plugin. The bassdrum and the simmons-toms are made with the AKAI VX 90."

Korg Lambda

Published on Apr 23, 2013 SyntheticMachines·29 videos

"This is a small demo from the Korg Lambda ES-50, together with the Roland TR-77. Played by hand with multitrack recording. Beside some reverb and delay, some lines from the Lambda were also played through the Electro Harmonix Small Stone Phaser."
