Australian CASIO MIDI Users Club Newsletter 3., CZ Patches & Rock School Courses

Additional scans in via Loscha, who brought us the MIDI PRIMER scans earlier today (higher res pics added there BTW).

The first 11 are the CASIO MIDI Users Club Newsletter 3 featuring the AZ-1 keytar on the cover. Below that are some CZ patches followed by Rock School course agendas. To be there at the time... It made me think of the New York School of Synthesis (if you haven't seen it, don't miss it).

Beyond Oort's Cloud // OP-1

video by Eon Edge

"I'm actually starting to love the OP-1's synth engines. Here's a track featuring a few custom patches I created with the Dr. Wave, Pulse, Strings, and Digital engines.

I also took the whole sampling-the-radio for a spin. The vocal you're hearing comes from a song I happened to capture from the OP-1 radio. I chopped it and used the arpeggiator to create some interesting rhythmic patterns.

Speaking about the arpeggiator. It's surprisingly versatile! I like to experiment with arpeggiated drum patches, and come up with unexpected percussive patterns to layer on top of my programmed beat. The OP-1 will only use the sounds you're playing on the keyboard, and actually pitch shift them to follow the selected arpeggiator mode. Pretty neat!

There's quite a lot of mixing work done behind the scenes in Logic Pro: I came up with a template that makes it very easy to arrange and mix the loops I create on the OP-1. I hope this will push me to create more songs with this setup: it's kind of the best of both worlds, the OP-1 as a portable idea generator machine, and Logic Pro on my computer for the arrangement and mixing part.

Hope you like it!"

"Here are some patch notes:
- This sound is built out of 4 layers.
- The first layer is Saich going to a low pass filter on Freak, and from there to the Desmodus Versio. I have the Y output of Planar2 opening the main filter, and the X output opening the filter for one channel so there's movement in the stereo field.
- The second layer is Plaits in FM mode, going through the Mimeophon. The Y output of Planar2 is opening the level of Plaits, and the X output changing the FM amount.
- The third layer is the Ts-L (pulse output) going through an analog low pass filter from Vult, and from there, to the Imitor Versio. The Y output of Planar2 is opening the filter.
- The fourth layer is also coming from the Ts-L but I'm using the square wave an octave down. This is going to another Freak with a comb filter and from there to the Vorg filter from Vult. The Y output of Planar2 is opening the filter, and the X output is changing the frequency of the comb filter.
- I didn't add any effect or anything after the fact, it's all coming from the case."
