It’s a pleasure man. I hope you get to make some wonderful sounds.

Pleasure man.

Thank you very much for your support of the event!

Glad I could help. There are other simplifications I should make a video on and the biggest factor of all .. self management. All the best in your musical journey.

Thank you man, all the best with your programming. I plan to do a Roland D50 series soon.

You are right it is fits and starts. Just when you think you are in the groove, bam 💥 it’s gone again. I find taking a day out doing something different, then giving myself a good talking to gets me back on track quickest. GL in your ventures!

Cheers mate!

Yes! Why? Because it’s the only one in the series with velocity sensitivity. Put that on the filters and it’s a game changer, if you like to play rather than program. Vs DX7 et Al it’s a different sound.

Also please note the casios are digital . However due to the layout you’ll be at home programming it as it feels like working with an analogue dcos nit vcos etc.

@@scififunk Yeah, I like that it's more simple to program it saves time. but with fm synthesis, it takes longer to program for me.

Agreed. FM is very hard to visualise in your mind, vs traditional programming.

Endless possibilities!

My pleasure. If you spend time with the filters I think you’ll get a lot of variance in your sounds. Good luck!

Thank you man! As the series progresses we get into some pretty interesting possibilities too.

Thank you for subscribing! Yes, less is more, certainly when it comes to arranging imho.

You know your music!

Thank you man. It took 8 days solid to make this series!

What does it program then? I'll tell you, the Roland MKS 70. What a daft comment.

Thank you mate. It’s all made and I’ll roll it out on week days.

Thanks mate. They seem to give a nice clear sound. Not really pushed them yet. I had them on reasonably loud the other day with closed doors, couldn’t hear anything outside! This is where foam seats and speaker stands with pin prick leg bottoms really help to isolate the sound.

I did play with the settings, as the default settings were too full of bass. I then settled on something which approximately matched my headphones, so I’m happy.

Cheers mate. I’m looking forward to finishing that one.

Thank you man. That Objeq Delay can add some wild f/x to the beat.

Agreed. Both would be excellent upgrades. Don't tell anyone but I've actually gone to a virtual K1 for now. My next programming series will be on the Roland D50/D550.

Thanks 🙏 and also thanks for letting me know which instrument you came for. I plan to use my Virtual TB-303 a lot in the coming year or so. NeXT programming series will be on the Roland D50/D550.

​@@scififunkD50 is really cool. I'm more into electronic dance music but I like this kind of jam with funky stuff and real drums What will fit on your arsenal is the Roland Sound Canvas 😅

@@5T45H oh no! Sorry it’s a cheap sound. I know you are joking. I hope you are anyway. The D50 is the Rolls Royce of that kind of sound, plus people don’t know or bother to program it. I’m happy that you are into dance music. I am as well. More stuff to come soon.

Alright?

I’m very glad to have helped your journey in this way.

Thanks man. I put up the desk yesterday. Video out today. Then I need to have a think about optimal positions of everything.

Ha ha!

Great tip! Thanks.

Yes! Strings, synth patches, bass it has them all.

Thank you man!

Glad you enjoyed them. It’s the same architecture as the k1. I thought they were all 12-bit but looking at vintage synth etc the k1 was 8 bit. The thing is around this time the sound got fudged between 8 to 12 bit. For example an engineer told me the sp-12 drum machine was 8 bit internally but it output at 12 bit. Early 8 bit (mid 80s) was a lot more dirty than the late 80s 8/12 bit. The k1r sounds cleaner than the ensoniq mirage sampler for example.

@@scififunk Interesting, thanks! DX7 mk1 has a 12 bit DAC but I wouldn't be surprised if the k1 sounds a bit cleaner, sine for sine. I don't know how it runs internally.

@@anick2144 I didn’t know that about the DX7, thanks for the info.

Pleasure! Glad you found it useful.

Yes!

You do. Sold now. The midi keyboard would exceptionally hard to spot. It’s actually another electric piano a Roland mid range one from the late 90s. I got it because it was semi portable and you can abuse the keys (smack them hard) whereas the Yamaha piano below them demands some respect.

Yes. That lovely dry feeling . Aaaah dry .. 🙂

Yes indeed. I remember when it first came out as well. I went to the British music fair 1985 especially to see it demoed.

Roof still not fixed, but a tarp held together with bricks and wood is doing the job. Still trying to pin the builders down for a date to fix it. Hopefully this month.

@@scififunk hope it holds up, some filthy weather coming. God bless 🙏

@@ambientshane Thank you man. It should be fine, it’s already seen some heavy rain without further trouble.

Thanks man. What a great synth eh? So easy to program.

Yeah thanks man. It will be so nice to be in a quiet room again if you know what I mean. Just getting the acoustic foam out now.

@@scififunk it'll be exciting to see finished! Some people are car guys, I'm a studio guy. I can get lost just looking at pictures of nice studios and day dreaming about making a song there.

@@incaseofelimination7804 I like that description. I'm also a studio guy and definitely not a car guy. They just get me from A to B and have a strange capacity to store old chocolate bar wrappers as well. 😆

Thank you man!

Without buying Roms, you’ll need to hunt around on the net because they were released virtually and then the product was withdrawn. Can someone who knows reply to this thread please?

Cheers mate!

Thank you!

Many thanks

Indeed. Lol
