Korg miniKORG 700FS Review - A Sound Designers Thoughts.

video upload by GEOSynths

"Originally issued in 1974, the 700S was the 2nd in Family, with the 700 being released the year prior. The 700S had an extra Oscillator and an added Ring Modulator with a variety of settings.

Korg have painstakingly crafted the limited edition re-issue, however they've added some great new features, such as Patch Storage, Spring Reverb and the ability to record all the Knobs, Sliders and Switches over USB Midi.

It also comes in a beautiful styled Case and lets face it, you've never going to get a Vintage in this condition and with a warranty."

Elektron Digitakt + CXM1978 + GRP A2 // Ambient lofi beat

video upload by Dexba

"As an old meme once said: 'I don't always pull out the Digitakt. But when I do, I always end up amazed by how simple and yet versatile it is.'

Having 2 LFO's per track, modulating modulation, quickest sampling EVER (even for a lazy ass player like me), MIDI tracks to be able to quickly play external instruments!

This all started with the loop I put in track 8, a little arpeggio on the Matriarch, that I listened to for many many hours without knowing what to do with it. Then I decided to stop being lazy, so I pulled out the Digitakt and I started flipping the sample, recorded one drone note with the GRP, recorded water, recorded birds, and even some vinyl scratching because... you know, that's the way these things go down.

In the past few days, I've had trouble sleeping, and I have to admit I resorted to my own video quite a bit, mixed with some other sounds of nature.

Everything sounded beautiful already without reverb, but then I remembered I OWN A F***ING Chase Bliss CXM1978! I attached that, I turned the CREAMY factor on the GRP to 11, and... here we are: MY FIRST AMBIENT JAM EVER!"

SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II - Factory Presets Demo

video upload by virtualoberheim

"Playing some factory presets of the SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II virtual analog synth. No external treatment involved. All sounds are coming directly from the stereo output of the synth.

...

The video features 91 presets from 29 banks. The gigantic complete patches library the synth ships with is 2'500 patches in 66 banks, so the featured picked presets are just 3.64 % of all available presets.

Explore the built-in banks and sounds on this dedicated site:
https://www.sonicprojects.ch/opxpro2/...

As you can hear in the video the synth perfectly can emulate the typical sounds of various classic analog synths including the Roland Jupiter-8, Prophet-5, Oberheim OB-X, Oberheim Matrix-12 and even Minimoog."

Comparing the Noise Generators between ARP2600 and Korg ARP2600FS. Big Difference!?

video upload by CGMAGIK

"I've been spending quite a bit of time comparing these two beautiful instruments. One of the big differences I came across was the noise generators. I'm surprised that they are so different, and would be curious to know if anyone has any thoughts about how one might change the 2600FS? Could it perhaps be modded by adding a different noise source? Is it adjustable? If someone from KORG is watching, I'd be curious to know how this came to be. Seems like quite an oversight to me.
A few minutes into the video, I re-patch so that we hearing the direct output from the noise generators.

p.s. My apologies that half of my head is cut off in this video! But you're really here for the ARPs anyways, right!"

Vector Synthesizer Noodling

video upload by Acid Techno Man

"Just sequencing the Vector Synthesizer from my squid, testing out the iPhone dongle direct into the Audio Interface. Sounds good enough to me, being I'm not getting paid. Interesting things occur when you have the sync stopped, record 8 notes into the ARP/Sequencer of the vector, play a sequence from the squid, then engage the ARP on the Vector.
Enjoy. No acid this time.."
