Kebu - Sticky strut (Yamaha SY-1 demo)

Text from the video :

• This is a song I composed demonstrating the sounds of the Yamaha SY-1 synthesizer. Since it is a monophonic analog synth, no chords can be played. The song was made by multitracking to a computer. No other effects were used than a Roland Space Echo and channel EQ. The drums are programmed using a drum sampler. For mixdown, the tracks were subgrouped and transfered to a Tascam 38 8-track tape recorder. The song was mixed in realtime with an analog mixer to a stereo cassette deck. EQ and limiting was used for the final digital master.

Yamaha - DX7 preset demo

This video shows some of presets included on the Yamaha DX7. This synthesizer is one of the most representative synthesizers from the 80s and changed the way of work with synthesizers because most of the people only used pre-programmed sounds instead of program their own patches like the people used to do with analog synthesizers.

Text from the video :

• My Yamaha CS80 synthesizer. The string sounds on this are amazing. Look at Blade Runner that was scored with a CS80 keyboard by Vangelis. This is recorded using my home video camera and its built in microphone. In the future I intend to post a much better video. Hopefully this gives you an idea of what the CS80 sounds like.

Sound Synthesis - Vangelis sound

This video explain how to obtain the typical Vangelis sound from Blade Runner. Vangelis used Yamaha CS-80 on this soundtrack, here meastempo uses Yamaha CS70M but I think that you can get similar results with other synths. Experiment and have fun!!!

That Vangelis bladerunner sound...

Text from the video :

• With a Yamaha CS70M (not the Yamaha CS80, but almost there). It can sound even closer with some more tweaks. Playing sampled string-loops (on the Roland MV-8800) from original soundtrack with my other hand.

  Overview of the envelope generators, VCAs, oscillator glide, high frequency LFO modulation.

Yamaha CS-15

Yamaha CS-15 is the middle brother of the CS series ( CS-5, CS-10,Cs-15 and CS-30). It's monophonic but like the ARP Oddisey can be duophonic (each oscillator has its own CV input). It's a very flexible synthesizer, with a lot of modulations possibilities, sample and hold, two filters....
