Ditto X4 Looper with a synthesizer [Polivoks]

Published on Sep 4, 2016 alternatingbitmusic
Update: re-uploaded.

"Since YouTube is chock full of guitar-based demos, I thought I'd contribute a quick little demo to show how you can use a looper pedal with a synthesizer / keyboard. Typically I use the pedal for drones and ambient loops but sometimes its fun to jam too.
Synthesizer used in demo is the Formanta Polivoks."

Casio FZ1 v Korg MS20 (Rev 1)

Published on Sep 4, 2016 punkdiscoUK

"The Casio FZ1 (FZ10M and FZ20M) have a wonderfully dirty analogue filter that sounds very similar to the Korg MS20. Quick demo comparing the two, firstly using one of the FZ preset waves then, sampling the MS20 wave using its Osc1 direct out. The MS20 is a modern MS20M with all the extra patch points hooked up, including the Osc1 direct out."

MiniBrute & MicroBrute Outtakes

Published on Sep 4, 2016 francolamuerte

"Voici quelques essais, quelques jams, quelques morceaux non terminés qui n'ont jamais vraiment vu le jour que j'ai pu faire avec mes deux synthétiseurs MiniBrute et MicroBrute d'Arturia. Je vous livre l'envers du décor de janvier 2013 à Septembre 2016. Attention certaines musiques ne sont pas vraiment mixées, d'autres le sont un peu plus. Certaines musiques n'ont qu'une seule ligne musicale à offrir, d'autres un peu plus. Certaines musiques sont plutôt des expérimentations sur le timbre ou les enveloppes, d'autres n'étaient pas loin d'être des musiques complètes. Bref, pour les fans aguerris seulement ! lol"

Googlish:

"Here are some tests, some jams, some unfinished pieces that never really emerged as I could do with my two synthesizers and MiniBrute MicroBrute Arturia. I book you towards the decoration of January 2013 to September 2016. Please note some music is not really mixed, others are a little more. Some songs have a single musical line to offer, others a little more. Some music is rather experiments on the stamp or envelope, others were not far from comprehensive music. In short, for seasoned fans only! lol"

How To REALLY Play A Synthesizer

Published on Sep 3, 2016 Claude Woodward

"This video is all about using all the controls of an analog synth plugin in real time in a musical way. I meant this as a way of showing how articulating the sound is key to expression. It ended up being more of a demo of my 'Claude Controller' and related gear that I built for the purpose of maximising this. The principals can, of coarse be transferred to other controllers.

As a way of promoting this approach to synth performance, I am working on making some of my controllers available as kits, Please send your comments etc and together we can get synth playing back in the lime light!
