Korg EX-800 // All Compromise, or All Character? // Walkthrough & Demo

video upload by Jorb

"Another quirky one, the oscillators, the envelopes, the polyphony, all weird.

*Had a mid-editing software crash that led to a few strange things, I left in two takes of the filter triggering modes, and some of the images are doubled. Apologies!

I got this on reverb for a great deal as non functioning, all it really needed was a new battery & the patches restored, and I don't believe it to be that unusual. Tons of models from the 80s experience the same thing.

Hope this helps someone make a decision, or helps explain the way this freaky little guy works.

I never mentioned the sequencer, but it works the way you would expect it to, very simple."

"The more I think about this one, the more I laugh about the fact that I ended up with one.

Would love to hear about someone actively using one of these, so much respect for that.

Forgive the playing, you should see the takes that got cut, YIKES.

This is a post about fixing the chips , very helpful: http://synthtweaks.com/roland-juno-10..."

JX-3P // The Best Vintage Roland (That you can actually afford)

video upload by Jorb

"Want to get better at these, where I sit down and give a walkthrough / impressions of one synth, let me know what works well and what doesn't.

If it wasn't going to kill my margins on resale, I would love one of these with upgraded midi, or even the kiwi mods. But for me, there's better options out there for a 2 oscillator poly.

Hope this is helpful to someone on the fence, or maybe you heard a sound in here that proved to you this synth is worth your time."

A take on AudioPilz Bad Gear

"This was another exercise in learning to edit, tons of respect for the creators that nail it.

I cant imagine spending this much time on a 7 minute result ever again.

I don't plan on doing any more of these, and other than it not being my own personality, copying his style, especially this thoroughly, beyond a joke would feel like plagiarism."

Korg Poly 61 // Underappreciated or Undervalued?

Korg Poly 61 // Why I'm Selling // Underappreciated or Undervalued? video upload by Jorb

"The second installment of "Why I'm Selling", this time focused on the Korg Poly 61. A keyboard that in today's market, can feel like a compromise, but never short on sounds.

I'll be sad to see it go, but can't justify a slow to program midi-less keyboard taking up any precious realestate.

Here's the link to the reverb page for the reproduction boards, what an excellent service : https://reverb.com/shop/andrej-shensh...

Here's a link to a website with details on the filter mod : http://voiceofsaturn.blogspot.com/200...

A quick search of 'Poly 61 Mods' will yield plenty of other strategies for inspiration.

Thanks again, and cheers."

RESONANT SCREAMS // A Chilling Tale of Haunted Synthesis // Starring : Akai's AX60

video upload by Jorb

"R E S O N A N T S C R E A M S

The (mostly) true tale of what it took for me to get my haunted Akai AX60 back home and working.

This was intented to be a halloween special, but I missed the deadline and now its a Friday 13th special, this also serves as my 200 subscriber special.

For a technical break down of the AX60, I walkthrough what makes it unique here : [posted here]

With a few exceptions, the whole soundtrack was made with the AX60, an RE201, and the stock compressor available on reaper. Samples for drums of course, and a few screams.

Something lighthearted that took a lot more time to create, as a way to say thanks to those who think I'm worth their time. Thank you."
