    When I select OSC 1 and try to cycle through different wave forms the sound doesn't change very much, or rather is just stays as whatever sound was selected from the internal bank before pressing OSC 1. In the manual it says to select a program labelled BASIC in the internal storage before selecting the OSC but I don't seem to have that option. Any idea why this might be or how I can fix it? Thank you so much for making these videos they are amazing!!

    • @RunningonairMusic
      @RunningonairMusic 3 дні тому

      It's quite possible that the memories have been overwritten so that could be an issue. Is the oscillator actually on? You might be listening to the others, or a mixture of all three.

      @@RunningonairMusic If the memories were over written is there a way to restore the synth to it's default settings that might help fix the issue? I believe the oscillator is on, but i'm pretty new to synths - when I select OSC 1 it goes into the OSC 1 settings on the dash board. How do i know if it's actually on or if i'm hearing a mixture? When I cycle through wave forms in OSC 1 the sound changes slightly depending on which internal sound was selected before I pressed the OSC 1 button but the change is so slight that I feel something isn't working correctly and with others it doesn't change at all. Thanks for replying to my question I really apprecate it!!

      You need to enable disable oscillators at the DCA. I think the best approach is to work through the manual step by step. Also if you are new to synths try looking at a few UA-cam introduction videos. I can't really help you from a distance.

    The only differens between the two is that the CZ-1 have stronger fundamental frequencies then CZ-V and that CZ-V have louder high-mid to high frequency harmonics then the CZ-1. Which to me gives the CZ-1 a more pleasant rounder sound plus that some of Arturias presets seem to have a slight detune between the oscillators. My guess is that it’s either a programming issue of the Arturia presets or that CZ-V waveforms can go a bit further with its phase distortion than the CZ-1. Either way it should be a quite easy fix for Arturia to make it sound identical. Nice comparison between the two 👍🏻

    People commenting without considering the main difference between the two: one is sample-based, the other is an emulation. Comparing sounds head to head really only speaks to the ‘realness’ of the emulation. That said, even an actual ESQ-1 head to head with these samples won’t sound identical given the innate differences in everyone’s signal chain. Samples are typically recorded with a bunch of outboard gear to sweeten it up too.

    Great stuff. As in all old gear there is a lot of dust collecting in holes. Midi holes: Why is there no sound? Data holes: The data card has holes in it, so the receptor has sticks that protrude upwards, well, not under a cover, like in the DX7, but they tend to become "greasy" at least after not cleaning them up. Nobody cleans them up, when cleaning the rest of the visible machine. It was never an issue, until some nerd thought to buy very expensive cards.

    Big takeaway is that the og ESQ has more treble (drastically noticeable in the sync lead @ 14:32 MINI M). So I can either take this optimistically two ways. 1) the software plug leaves more room for highhats in the mix, OR # 2) just turn up the treble on the softsynth's EQ, pre-amp saturation modeling, or effects send. At the end of the day, it's the synth for me as I liked every single patch that you demonstrated for one reason or another. Thanks for this video! PS... I've officially acquired a taste for nyquist frequency scatter thanks to this demonstration. Sublime aliasing -- if that isn't an oxymoron to audiophiles. ( see 15:41 NOISTR )

    I am going to try that moving filter, beautiful. It took me a while, but it seems like to me that all the patches prior to the effects are operating on the sines prior to being generated. Like the whole thing is one complex generator, and the modules give you different ways to specify how the sounds get generated. For example, the filter doesn't generate a signal then filter the signal, it calculates the partials that would be removed prior to generating the sound and doesn't generate them in the first place. EG the filter is applied in the space of partials not on the generated signal.

    • @RunningonairMusic

      Yes, it's just a bunch of sine waves with different algorithms to change pitch and level. I've not used it for a while but it does have quite a distinctive sound.

    On my Kawaii K1 II, the lead weights on 3 of the black notes fell out. To repair, I had to open up the instrument, remove the keyboard, detach the electronic boards on the back of the physical keyboard, remove the neighboring white keys, and reglue the lead weights back in. I used Gorilla Glue. Then to be proactive, I added glue to all the lead weights of the white keys. And then fashioned a long nozzle out of a 1.5” plastic drinking straw (slitted then taped into a cone). Then glued (super glue) and taped the nozzle to a medical syringe, filled the syringe with Gorilla glue, then used the syringe & nozzle to dab globs of glue onto the weights of the black keys. This meant I did not have to remove all the black keys. Being a bit careless with the amount of glue, some got too much and I had to remove those keys to scrape off the excess glue. After the glue set overnight, I began to reassemble the keyboard. Unfortunately, it had sat disassembled for several years and I had either not taken photos, or had deleted them. This video gave me enough glimpses of the inside to make it possible to reassemble everything properly. I hope! I’ll update when I finally get it together & it works properly!

      Problem solved after removing those little black spacers between the keys & the contact boards. Now everything works fine. I don't know why I had to remove them. There must be something else out of alignment. But as long as everything works... Thank you for posting your videos!

      Glad it worked out in the end!

    Hey, would you be interested in knowing about ways to squeeze even more out of the SC-7? There's a few things that can be done with SysEx, like changing the reverb and chorus type, and enabling channel aftertouch, which lets you adjust the low-pass-filter cutoff. I ended up creating my own tool to help me with this. Thanks for your videos, by the way; they were quite useful and helped convince me to go ahead with buying an SC-7, which I've had a lot of fun with!

      Yes, I was able to do a little bit of that stuff but I'm not a coder so it started to get too difficult. I guess what it really needs is an editor or control panel. I recently upgraded to the SC55 which resolved all of those issues but It's good to hear someone took it further.

      I think my follow-up reply may have gotten caught in the spam filter? If you check the "Held for review" section of "Comments" in UA-cam Studio, it might be there.

      @@RunningonairMusicAh I see, I'll just write a new comment. For the SC-55 it's much easier indeed because there's better tools available, it supports NRPNs for most things, and it generally has more controls. I only have an SC-7 though, so I made a tool called “SoundPalette” (you should find it if you search online for “SoundPalette SC-7” or something like this). It's a bit fiddly, but it can generate and send almost all the SysEx messages that the SC-7 supports, and some of the SC-55/GS ones too. The one I've had most fun with is the “CAF TVF CUT OFF CONTROL” in the “Patch parameters”. If that's set to something other than the default value of 40H, then sending a Channel Pressure (Channel Aftertouch) message will adjust the filter cutoff. It's also nice to be able to tweak the reverb and chorus. Sadly the SC-7 is quite limited otherwise, it doesn't let you adjust envelopes etc, but I've enjoyed the challenge of finding creative ways to get more sounds out of it.
