"Poly Pressure, Poly Velocity and expression pedal Arpeggio sequence. Fat thick Brass sounds. Deep sweeping Funky crazy sounds. Thanks to ingsoc_1979 for some comments and discussion - so the classic brass is for you! Next time I'll do PWM Strings. Very wide range of tonal modulation in this video. Please let me know what you think! Let me know if you want a CS80 "Tour" - I plan a sound-effects video next with tips and tricks in maxing out the CS80 value and it capabilities. Maybe too much reverb on this video! Any reactions are welcome."

011109 (sin Echo)

"Lots of M15 FMing, Triple Timer as a gate for cycling M10s, M12 bandpass mode with Lots of modulations. There's two parts since I forgot to record anything with the RS390 Echo in this go around. Love the Triple Timer the more I use it...

That's without echo in Spanish in case you were wondering where the evil echo was."

011109 (con Echo)

"Same patch as 011109a, but takes off where that leaves off plus delay. I forgot to experiment with the delay while recording the first part of the video.

No con game in this echo. The RS-390 is digital, but it sounds great with no noticeable artifacts. :)"

Gem S2

"Aftertouch and response of the mighty Gem S2"
Listen closely to the aftertouch. I'm hearing the higher notes react but not the lower. Anyone know if the G2 actually had polyphonic aftertouch? I guess the patch could have key tracking on the filter enough to not hear the effect.
Update via jupiter8 in the comments: "The GEM S2/S3 does indeed have polyphonic aftertouch"
Update via jupiter8 in the comments: "I found this databse. I edited it somewhat and added a few missing models. I believe there's an Ensoniq model missing and there seems to be some confusion about the Prophet T8 and Yamaha DX1.
Other than that i believe it's complete.

I've heard claims that both only offer internal PolyAT and does'nt transmit it over midi. I've also heard the contrary so i'm not sure what is what. I don't have either synth unfortunately so i can't tell."

DIY Synths - Purga

Two images spotted by Deviant Synth. If anyone knows more about these, feel free to comment or contact me - my contact info is on the bottom right of the site.

Update: ::vtol:: wrote in to inform us that the synth above was made in Russia a couple of years ago. "The builder made some @for sale@ posts in russian forums, thr price was - 1000$ but no one want to but that for about 4 mouths..." You can find both images including more DIY here.
