Synthesizer Performance - Spectralis 2

Spectralis: Stepsequencer performance

Text from the video :

• This demonstration shows the realtime access to the step sequencer during a live performance. I change the playback direction, skip notes, enter new notes and other things while performing.
  I am also showing the live mixing of parts and FX editing. The session is captured directly from the sum outputs of the Spectralis 2 and I have not used any external FXs or EQs to get that sound. But I did a new sampleset for this demo. This sampleset includes drumsounds with reverbration. So - all the reverb effects are from the samples. Detuning the samples gives some nice sounding FXs. I will upload that sampleset to the Radikal website soon.
  
  PS1: And by the way - please insert the missing "t" in the word "Start" at the beginning of this performance. I saw that directly after uploading the video...
  PS2: I checked the audio quality after uploading the demo and must say, that the bass sounds horrible after conversion. Hopefully, it sounds better in HD setting.

Casio - CZ-1

Casio CZ-1 Phase Distortion Synthesizer Preset Patch Demo

Text from the video :

• Just a basic demo of the factory sounds. Be sure to add &fmt=18 at end of URL for stereo sound since this synth features stereo chorus which I engage on a few sounds, but most are "dry". I use a Roland Fantom X6's arpeggiator via MIDI IN on a few sounds. At the end, I demonstrate the layering and split features. I filmed this video earlier this year, but it was too long for YouTube. Special thanks to my son, SuperSane101, for editing it down.

Sound Synthesis - Ensoniq ESQ-1

This video shows how easy is to program an Ensoniq ESQ-1 . This synthesizer only have one slider and two buttons to modify all the sound parameters. On the right side of the front panel there is the synth schema and every part of the synth has a button to access to his menu. The screen has ten buttons surrounding it to select all the parameters of that page, select one and changes the value with the slider ( or the up/down buttons). There are not hidden menus or double push buttons, all parameters are present in one screen. Maybe this procedure seems a bit complicated but it's just my explanation, believe me it's very easy ( I have one of this ) even despite this is a very complex synth ( 3osc, 3lfos, 4env ... )

Ensoniq ESQ-1 programming 1

Text from the video :

• Reprogramming the 1st preset-piano on the Ensoniq ESQ-1 into something more appropriate. The ESQ-1 is certainly on of the easiest synths to program despite its' lack of dedicated knobs.

Synthesizer Performance - Kipptumor - Din 34

Live performance by Kipptumor. Very good experimental/ambient track perfect for relax and chill out.

Din 34 Live Ambient Composition

Text from the video :

• All of the MIDI gadgets plus the modular system were pre-"programmed' and I merely faded/mixed the various elements in. Din 34 is the first piece in the Din series that was created this way. the other 33 (that's right - I've got a lot of time to kill) were all created track by track using Acid Music Studio. I had to chop a portion out towards the end so that it would fit on youtube here. The gadgets used were: EMU MoPhat & Xtreme Lead Rack synths, Roland V Synth XT Rack, Future Retro Revolution sequencer/monosynth, Korg Electribe, Synthesizers.com Studio 44 cabinet with analog sequencer, Novation Supernova Rack synth, Alesis Micron, & Dave Smith Evolver. The filtered cigarette is a fine blend of Drum tobacco, Gambler (mostly for filler), and some vanilla pipe tobacco that I roll while I watch PBS and the news.

Korg - X5D

Very good demo of what you can get from a synth if you knows how to program it. I would never expect that a Korg X5D could sound like this.

Korg X5D - JayB's Program Patches

Text from the video :

• Again sounds you wouldn't expect from a Korg X5D.
  
  I made a new up-to-date video to exchange the older ones. You can see now, there's no MIDI cable plugged in. The sound is X5D ONLY.
  
  The sound bank is available for free at:

Synthesizer Performance - Mik300z - Sundog

I've already posted here other mik300z performances , but this one is special, because while the other ones were covers of "synth classics", this one is an original composition. Very 80s on the sound and feeling and also a catchy song.

Sundog

Text from the video :

• A 3 minute pop song which I wanted to do mainly to see how well I could compose and produce it . A kind of "feel good" instrumental, all studio work , no software or computers in sight lol! I really would appreciate honest/critical comments on this ,cheers.
