Open Question: synth help for a n00b (korg)?

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

i am considering getting a synthesizer to play for fun (i.e. to make beats, songs, and stuff). i’m looking for one around $400, and so far the microkorg or microkorg xl seem to be the front runners in my internet search. BUT i am a total beginner and have no clue on a couple of issues: what kind of speakers or amps should i be looking for to go with the synth? is it possible to get one for relatively cheap? will the microkorg let me record songs? i know the xl has a usb connection. does this mean i can save beats i make up to my computer? or this solely for the convenience of making patches with computer software rather than on the synth itself? do the korgs let you play more than 1 key simultaneously? i’ve also looked at the microx. this seems to me more like a regular keyboard than an actual synth like the others, with presets sounding like real instruments. is this a fair assessment? I appreciate any answers and extra advice for my synth selection!

Wiard Noise Ring

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

YouTube via inverseroom. “In this 4-minute video, I’m using a Wiard Noise Ring to modulate various parameters of the Blacet Stonz phaser, Blacet Klang Werk ringmod, and Metalbox Bi-N-Tic Filter. There’s a lot more you can do with the Noise Ring, but this is the stuff that falls into the instant-gratification category. This Frac Rack system also includes some Bananalogue and MOTM; over on the left is a small Doepfer system that, in this instance, I’m just using for the amplitude envelope and mixer.”

Rare Vintage Casio PT-7 Synthesizer Keyboard W BOX

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

via this auction and this auction “Casio PT-7 (instrument with tiny polyphonic touch sensor keypad & analogue rhythm) This is clearly one of the most bizarre and innovative instruments created by Casio, because this tiny thing has a detachable keyboard with 29 soft touch foil keys, and this is not just a monophonic toy tablehooter but a real 8 note(!) polyphonic instrument with analogue rhythm and a small but high quality loudspeaker that makes a very respectable organ sound. This strange Casio invention permits special play techniques with very rapid glissandos and was one of the forgotten milestones in the struggle of overcoming the clumsy piano key relic on electronic consumer instruments. main features: * 29 tiny soft touch foil keys on a detachable slim line keyboard with short cable * built-in astonishing reasonable sounding small speaker * 8 notes polyphony * separate knobs for main and rhythm volume * tempo knob * 6 preset rhythms {waltz, samba, swing, slow rock, pops, rock} selected by a slide switch * 8 OBS preset sounds {piano, elec. piano, organ, pipe organ harp, accordion, clarinet, violin} selected by a 4-step slider + switch * main voice CPU “HD44140, 3G 13″ (56 pin SMD) with timbres based on multipulse squarewave tones with different digital envelopes, those are differently low pass filtered through capacitors
