"Simply the best analog synth ever made, unfortunately it is time to find a new home.


It has recently had some maintenance including:
Key bed has been replaced with a barely used exact model that I tracked down.
A dozen or so tact switches have been replaced as they were not working well.
End panels were a little scratched so I had them polished and anodised.
Sliders cleaned.
General clean up inside.
Before then the keyboard was serviced around 2003, since then has been has been in storage mostly, brought out for 3-6 sessions a year.

Flight case also included."

"Ketron manufacturer description:
The Ketron SD4 is a pocket sized sound module designed for all PC and MIDI applications. The module is equipped with a new, powerful sound engine including a Professional Grand Piano sample (across 88 notes), huge orchestral and beautiful voices such as Saxophones, Brass, Woodwinds, Guitars, accordions, organ digital drawbars and many others. The quality of sound is what we have come to expect of Ketron (Best Natural Sound) making it ideal for use in Studio and Professional applications.
Ketron SD4 was released in 2008. It is a music module that will provide an easy workflow, and will welcome the user into a new sound space. The front part of the device is divided into several sections: at the top there are panel presets, just below there’s the 3-digit led display and 2 groups of buttons for monitoring.

The first section is a digital panel for selecting patches, and the second section with buttons is intended for configuring presets and menus navigation.

In a multi-timbral mode, SD4 works with GM-banks (128 patches) which sound quite realistic. There are 4 bank instruments and 32 drums. The first 3 GM-banks offer different voices. A separate 4th bank is derived from GM. Several buttons on the control panel are used to program the presets.

Panel voices can contain up to 3 layers, where each layer represents one sound from the GM bank. In some samples the performance is composed in a similar manner. In addition, two effect processors can be used to make the sound complete: reverb, chorus, distortion, delay and Leslie effect."

Tama Techstar & Arturia Drumbrute jam - Using Techstar as a module with Drumbrutes individual outs

Published on May 19, 2020 Expanding Sound

"I've always enjoyed my Drumbrute. The impact has a great sounding snare in comparison, and a great price point, but I've never regretted picking the Drumbrute up because it's fun to play with. My biggest gripe was always with the snare and toms. Not having decay on the toms always bothered me. The Drumbrute holds its worth to me over the Impact with the individual outputs. So I decided to put them to work!

The Tama Techstar is originally meant to be used as a module for electronic drum pads. On this video I used the Drumbrute's individual outputs on its toms and zap sound and placed them inside the Techstars toms and synth trigger inputs. The Techstar has way more controls for its analog voices than the Drumbrute does. So I decided to play with some of the modulation and have some fun!

Hope you enjoy some of my audio experiments. Please subscribe if you're into it!"

Fletch (1985) - Unreleased Track - Fletch Arrives At The Stanwyk's Mansion (Cover)

Published on May 19, 2020 KOSmusic

On the Yamaha CS1x

"This is my cover of the track present in the movie 'Fletch' of 1985, in the scene when Fletch (Chevy Chase) arrives at Alan Stanwyk's mansion and discovers the cans of gasoline in the trunk of Stanwyk's car. As always, Harold Faltermeyer manages to create real works of art even with few synth sounds and some percussion!

The original track ends with an fade-out, but I preferred to create a 'Faltermeyer' style ending, thinking about how Harold himself could have finished it.

I want to thank Jeppe Jeppinen for having recommended this fantastic track!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MY DEAR FRIEND!!!

In the future, I will also try to recreate the Fletch Theme and I think it will be really fun!!

I hope you like it ;)

***Please note: my videos are not live performances, but are music videos, accompanying for the covers I create***"
