"timeFrogIII driving the synth system of the MC909. It's just a pleasure to have the 16 instruments directly available on the groovebox and to master the band (only 3/4 there to be honest...), it makes forgive the 40°C and the lack of wind."

Keyboard/Piano Lesson Em Pentatonic Scale "Roland SH201"

YouTube Published on Aug 4, 2012 by synthartist69

"Hey Guys and Gals. Here is a visual lesson on how to play a super fast keyboard solo that can be used in many styles of music including Rock, Jazz, Blues, Jazz Fusion, etc. This is a super easy scale to remember and to play in regards to finger positioning. The notes played up and down the keyboard will be E, G, A, B, D. Do not play F or C or any black keys but later I will post a video on how you can add black keys to this. Start out slow and note that finger positioning is extremely important here when playing the scale fast. If you have a drum machine or metronome do not hesitate to use it. Continue to play this scale slowly and do not rush yourself as it will take time to get to where you can play it fast. BE PATIENT! But once you have it down you will be able to solo to just about any song that is in the key of E and more! Towards the end of the video I go into a simple TRILL scale that I like to use, especially for hammer on effects. Good Luck!"

"Switched On Music Electronics demonstrates the Moog's new desktop bass synth the Minitaur interacting with a 303 clone, The x0xb0x.

The x0xb0x is sequencing the Minitaur via midi, and also sending its audio through the filter of the Minitaur for a stack of thick textural bass.

Kawai K5000S Wicked Soundscapes

YouTube Published on Aug 4, 2012 by gstormelectro

http://gstormelectronica.blogspot.com/

"This synth was literally rescued from a garbage heap. I have refurbished it w/ a new LCD, reconstructed the shattered end caps, and performed exhaustive deep-cleaning of the programming interface boards. The sounds presented in this video mark my first work programming Additive. All sounds are coming directly from the K5000S, no other processing added.

The Kawai K5000S is quite the under-rated Additive synthesizer. It is unbelievable to me a piano company like Kawai have turned out such a stellar vehicle as this one. Programming Additive requires a great deal of persistence, but the reward of huge sonics are smashing as digital sounds go.

The on-board effects engine is first rate. The ensemble chorus is a surprisingly faithful vintage emulation which I haven't really noticed available on any modern hardware synth @ 0:36

The K5000S has a precise formant filter for dialing in choirs @ 0:10, 1:28 and 3:06.

Sounds @ 2:13 and 2:31 feature prominently on my forthcoming track "Polar Shift".

Vintage electronic organs of the day used additive techniques to generate their sounds through electro-mechanical tone wheels. Similarly in programming the K5000S, organ sounds are always pulling at you like gravity. Most of them are static and some are quite interesting such as @ 2:56.

The last three sounds starting @ 4:22 were patches downloaded from the internet Chroom + Stucco (which use the on-board PWMs), and Microvox (additives)."
