2020/02 - Akai S900, Integra7 & Viscand18

Published on Feb 3, 2020 Stereoping

"While playing around with the very first simple sample i made on a newly aquired Akai S900 this song came out. I wanted to test how far the pitch can be streched up and down before starting to sound unnatural or unpleasant. Well, a test in musical context, not really technical. It's just one piano-like sample, no zones, switching or crossfades.

Other sounds used here come from a freshly repaired DIY drumbox as well as Strings from the JV1080 and 3 different Horns (staccato tuba, frensh horns and a solo trumpet) from the Integra7. The song gets a nice jazz twist around 2:20 - feel free to skip forward if you are bored. The video shows the FL Studio playlist progress, memo pics of the presets i used on 1080/Integra and some photos of the Akai which now got a new display and a USB floppy now. The original drive made "Ooops,wrong data" errors."

"I built a trigger divider a while back and have only just fitted it into the sequencer case. It also needed some alterations making to function exactly as I wanted... the first 'build' wasn't working reliably."

"This synthesizer is so out-there. Any synth enthusiast will all tell you the same - this thing was way ahead of its time and is still an alien in the bunch of synthesizers that are available now. It is capable of creating incredible soundscapes ranging from the ethereal to a horror soundtrack. The bottom left has a hole in the frame so some painting tape was put over it. The modulation frame has some crack in it too (see photographs) but is still 100% functional. This has no memory bank available so that will need to be purchased separately. Will come with power cable."
