Meet the makers - Novation 30 Years // Novation Live

video upload by NovationTV

"In celebration of Novation’s 30 year anniversary we have a very special edition of the Novation Livestream.

Novation’s longest serving engineer (and total synth legend!) Nick Bookman joins CALC for a conversation about the past 30 years of designing and building synths and controllers. We’ll be looking at the old and the new and also have a few nice old synths to play around with too. Sharing some incredible memories all along the way.

video upload by zack dagoba

"An ambient composition made on the splendid Yamaha CP30 Electronic Piano and the SS30 String Synthesiser, both made in the late 1970s. Also featured is a combination of FX pedals (see video for more information) and vintage reverb units (Lexicon 224, EMT 140 and Quantec Room Simulator)"

Waldorf Q 7-zone Multi

video upload by wedream2

"All sounds are played in real time from the Waldorf Q. Five zones are mapped to the Q keybed, and 2 additional zones are played remotely from the lower keyboard through midi. The addition of a second keybed significantly expands the Q's Multi programming. Zones can be played "local" from the Q keybed, "midi" from a remote controller, or "local + midi" from both. Of course, additional sounds from the second keyboard can be layered as well, but I'm using the D70 only to trigger the additional Q zones through midi."

"You don’t see these very often. The rare and highly collectible centennial edition DX7 is quite a sight to be seen with its silver/gold accents and glow in the dark keys.

A very mysterious collectible with some speculating that only 100 were ever made. (Nobody seems to have the straight answer on this)."
