MMM (Maths as a Modulation Machine)

Published on Nov 4, 2014 GruithuisenCityMan

"Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made using an analog modular synthesizer including an Maths.
Did you know it ? A Maths can self-generate enough modulation signals to modulate twice and differently three oscillators. I am talking about six different modulation signals that will do their lovely sonic dance in our delighted ears !
Enjoy !"

Nova Musik - Korg KROME Music Workstation with Rich Formidoni

Published on Nov 4, 2014 Nova Musik

"Check out great deals on Korg KROME at Nova Musik:
http://www.novamusik.com/ssearch/?q=k...

Rich Formidoni from Korg USA gave us an overview of the Korg KROME Music Workstation, including a demonstration of how sounds can be built from the ground up using a familiar subtractive synthesis signal flow approach.

Krome has a full complement of the features you've come to expect from a Korg workstation, starting with the 16-track sequencer, but there's much, much more: Krome comes complete with a rich suite of tools to jumpstart your creative urges. There's the convenient Auto Song Setup function: if inspiration strikes while you're playing a program or combination, simply press the REC switch to start recording immediately. Each Template Song assigns popular sounds to sequencer tracks through pre-routed effects to match a specific musical genre. Achieve lightning-fast arrangements using Korg's Cue List, and build an armada of instant-access patterns using the RPPR (Realtime Pattern/Play Recording) feature. Go back and you can make any changes using the convenient piano-roll editing.

In addition to Korg's well-proven workstation features, Krome features a carefully chosen selection of the top sounds available today for bread-and-butter keyboard instruments such as piano and electric piano, as well as vital and dynamic drum kits, giving you the best of the basics. These highly usable piano, electric piano, and drum sounds by themselves set Krome apart from any other keyboard in its class. With sound quality and features normally found in much more expensive instruments, Krome aspires to set a whole new value standard and become a unique and irreplaceable partner for real-world musicians."

Vintage Synthesizer 3-83 UNISONO from Czechoslovakia

Published on Jun 5, 2012 Najvrtson

"This is a short video showing the sound possibilities of Synthesizer 3-83 Unisono - a very rare monophonic synthesizer made in Czechoslovakia in first half of eighties. The synthesizer has an unusual design with two VCO's, VCF one and one VCA with limited edit possibilities. The audio track was recorded by Jiri Krivka and given to me by Moimir Papalescu, the photo of the instrument was taken by Ivan Hirländer. My big thank to them!
Please, read more on http://czechkeys.blog.cz/0710/3-83-un... (using some translator - sorry, I'm too lazy to translate it :o))."

YAMAHA EX-7 Sound Demo

Uploaded on May 8, 2010 Najvrtson

"Here I recorded a short demo as a homage to Yamaha's EX-Series synthesizer workstations. I use it more than five years for each performance on the stage. EX-7 is my favorite instrument for (not only) syntesizers, el. pianos, organs and guitar sounds."
