The Arturia V collection is a God send.! So many of the instruments that you could never afford in one space, I even have most of them logically mapped out on my Novation SL ZERO. So I have some hands on control. Loving the CMI on this update. And also loving your enthusiasm for all things noise generating bro.!
Very cool video and playing !! It's a pleasure to hear someone properly playing presets I've spent a lot of time making and tweaking with keyboardists in mind ! 6:42; 8:20; 9:11 :) :)
Great that Arturia added the Easel. It was for 40 years or so, always some kind of mistery for me. Now I know why the "east coast synths" became more popular: it is not the device I'll be using because I can't program it and it sounds and looks like a cheap little metal cigarbox. But I love the rest of the collection. Thanks for the nice video !!
Beat it was the Synclavier, not Fairlight. I recently tried to understand FM synthesis, everyone e seems to get it, I don't quite have it understood, but to me because of the terms used like feedback, it seems like a random, organic, unpredictable form of synthesis, which intrigues me, with this GUI it becomes more powerful. I am realizing my need for soft synths as this is impressive. But I have to wonder can they replicate the hot, large components that required a relatively large sized box to produce before.
I'm not sure you have to understand it to use it. Have fun. FM sounds make great additions to tracks based on more "analog" sounds, adding contrast and variety.
One of the great things about their midi controllers is the copy of Analog Lab you get with it. In this he uses presets, which Analog Lab gives you, plus some tweakability with the provided parameters, and it comes with the keyboard you buy. Bad thing is that it acts like a gateway drug where you really want to get the Collection V to gain full control over the synths.
The Music Easel is one of the few modular/semi-modular synths that CAN have presets, however it is a ridiculously expensive accessory. ,The cartridge slot is meant to hold cards with patches on them that you can buy and solder patches on.
Yo !! Magnifique. Thanks guys for the good contents as always !! Hey what about remake the INSTRUMENTAL of "Licence to Kill" Gladys Knight/James Bond's Generique with the Fairlight ??? ✨✨✨
I don't think I've ever been so impressed by the versatility of the DX7's sonic capabilities; back in the day all I heard were people playing presets. That, combined with the typical 'FM Synthesis Fear Factor' did not make this a compelling instrument for me. Your presentation on this thing is just great - a really inviting intro to this misunderstood instrument.
It was indeed. Was listening to that album only yesterday. The sound is a Synclavier II preset called Phased Gong - I believe TD lengthened the sound from the basic preset.
What would really kick butt would be to program DX7 sounds using the VST, then transfer the settings into a real DX7 (assuming that there is a match between each parameter in the VST and the parameters available in the real DX7). Also, does the DX7 VST mimic the DX7 II ?
The intro-sound of Michael Jackson's Beat It comes from the Synclavier II, not the Fairlight CMI. The video is giving the wrong impression here. The Beat It sound can be heard on the Synclavier II demo record, that can be found on UA-cam too. "The Incredible Sounds of Synclavier II (1981)" (at 06-40m) Many of the sounds you can hear on the Synclavier II demo record, have found their way into major record productions of the 1980s. Used in Hollywood studios by early adopters. Professional musicians and (REAL!!!) producers (I have a problem with everybody calling himself a producer these days, it's ridiculous). This is like synthesizer archaeology. Synthesizer archaeology can be helpful in being creative, when dealing with an overwhelming Smörgåsbord like the V Collection. How is anyone going to fathom, having all these different synthesizers thrown at them?! By investigating them. By investigating a synthesizer, people can find out what these instruments used to mean back in the days. Many videos can be found on UA-cam about every synthesizer. It's about recreating the fascination of discovering new sound possibilities. Recreating that feeling is an inspiration to make music. Everything else is just phoning in presets. Despite the mishap I like the video. I like how you got right to the sounds, without getting caught up in parameters and technicalities. In a demonstration of a VST synthesizer, I want to hear the signature sounds that make it worthwhile. I'm like "play the damn hits already". lol Some guys are explaining and explaining. It takes them like ten minutes to get to the first beep. Ugh! :( The V Collection is great to have all these different sound characteristics at hand. All in one box. It could be as small as a notebook. Possibilities that only people like Quincy Jones, Peter Gabriel, or Herbie Hancock used to have. It's like your own Hollywood studio. Being genius is up to the people themselves. No hard- or software is going to do that. Duh! :)
hey Dr Mix,have you seen the incredible new update for the Synclavier V,it now has resynthesis,and can transform samples into a synth sound,great update
@@NeuronalAxon I'm not enough of a technical expert to say if it resynthesizes in the same way as the original, but it can take a sample, analyse it, and build the waveform. Cameron Jones did work with Arturia on the first version of Synclavier V, but I don't know whether he was involved withe version 2 enhancements.
Will a Novation MK3 interface just as well with this as the Arturia Keylab range? If the Arturia Keylab range is better for this, then does the Keylab Ultimate do it better than the standard Keylab?
Great video! Do you have to use “analog lab” with the presets? Or can you actually use the individual instruments such as Roland Jupiter 8, or prophet, or mini v as individual synths that you are able to tweak with the synth interface/knobs? As I am looking at buying the V6 collection rather than the individual analog synth packs as it will be cheaper! Thanks.
I wrote 2 songs on my channel under DJ NaRoW with the full version analog lab 4 with these synths. If you want to see them in real song check them out. I'm thinking about unlocking the dx7 with all its controls.
I have a question about this collection, please. Is there a way to set a minimum velocity and a maximum velocity levels for the DX7 and the Analogue 3 instruments? I have this collection and use it with a midi guitar and having a minimum velocity level helps keep out extraneous notes from sounding.
I have issues when using this and fl studio, so when I take these instruments to the piano roll nothing comes out - its just soundless. but if I use the actual keyboards (by clicking the keys) I can hear it.
If I buy this, what's the catch!?? Will I I have to pay a toll of money a year later to update or continue to use, as long what is the policy on downloading to multiple computers?
All of their V6 instruments are slow, laggy functioning. You press a key and animation sometimes happens after few seconds, displaying that you pressed a key.... poorly programmed synths...
This sounds like a problem with your computer and/or hardware. I'm running V Collection 6 on an 11 year old iMac (with upgraded memory and SSD) and while it takes 2-3 seconds for the synth to open, once it's opened it works perfectly. My system specs are 2GB over the memory spec, and 0.1GHz under the CPU spec.
Great musicality on the demo, nice and appropriate playing. But please man you don’t have to sound cool verbally .. it’s really kitch.. just be yourself.
The most important factor is ...the HUMAN factor: YOU! there are lots of crappy FAKE musicians around that are just able to push buttons just like a MOUSE could do (99% of dj's for examples). The first thing in order to enjoy these intruments and sounds is to become a REAL Musician!

You're doing a great job on the Buchla presentation.
a friend of mine was very proud of his hardware Dx7.....
after he played with the Arturia Dx7 he sold his "proud" one.....
How much did he buy/sell it for?

I've been programming synths since 1981, and I never could get a solid grasp on FM. Not sure it's worth the bother now with so many other options.
Nearly no one understands FM trust me

FM, used well, is the business. See the Synclavier.

That sound was also used by Tangerine Dream on their album Exit.

you can do that with DEXED plugin. import to and from DX7. Its free as well!
I honestly thing the CMI V sounds wrong. Just doesn't have that 8 bit compressed presence.

You can also mix the instruments with a dx7 on the left and a synclavier on the right
What really makes these sound great is how robust your hand movements are as you remove you fingers from the keyboard. Listen! 3:12
Doctor please. I wan to bye this motife xf.
Is this worth getting even if you already have analog lab 3?

All built-in F/X could be bypassed for alternative plug-ins or hardware?!
Yes
How you know what it is none of the folders are organised
there's some clipping on the ROM1A E piano, does that come from the actual sound preset, or the video and its audio layer itslef?
Poor recording. He also set the action to DX7 instead of “full”.
