      Looks like a one player game - “I sunk my battleship”. Funny comment, made me laugh.

    This matrix is so much better than the mess of cables of other modular synths.

    I bought one in early 70s but without keyboard so it was used as a sound effects machine only. Sold it cheap and regretting it to this day!

    Awesome demo, Takahashi!! I’ve got the iOS app and its amazing, and about to grab the XILS 4 to compare and use on MAC. Class of its own. This and PolyKBiii are untouchable.

    You can tell the cinematographer was a synth freak because they pulled focus on the synths behind him, not on him.

    • @Rhythmicons

      He probably focused for the background and then didn't realize he wasn't in focus until after he put everything away.

    "First patch" tutorial for EMS ? ...
    It may be strange, but I always thought that people who can buy VCS3 have all the knowledge about this synth ...

    I’ve never liked the VCS3 but after watching this I realize it does sound really good.

    If you happen to own one of these rare-as-hen's-teeth, hand-built synths from 1970 that cost as much as a luxury car, then this tutorial is for you! so helpful! What's next are you going to teach us how to clean our faberge egg collection and wax our ferraris too?

      Behringer have a VCS3 clone currently being beta tested and should be available next year, so there's that.

    • @BearingTheWeight

      me too. I was picturing myself finding them on ebay, ordering them, opening the package and feeling relieved when I filled up the spots. And how happy it would make me going do to my studio every day and knowing that they are filled and perfect. All of this in the 5 seconds they showed it in this video. Yup, that's OCD my friends. :)

    What happens if you put pins in all of the holes at the same time?

    • @basedrobonspotify
      @basedrobonspotify 5 років тому +1

      All of your oscillators and effects would be routed to all of your channels.
      Yes it would sound fuckin horrible.

    You've forgotten the italian musician Franco Battiato the second One Who bought It After Pink Floyd. Listen to his albums Fetus, Pollution in the early 70s.

  • @MyManDan
    @MyManDan 5 років тому

    Dumb question: what's that called at the very end at 4:30 when he is holding down a root note, and then when he triggers another key the pitch jumps to that key, then when the second key is released the pitch jumps back to the key still being held?

    • @xxx7917
      @xxx7917 4 роки тому +1

      MyManDan it's monophonic ( it can only play one note at a time )

    • @daveholt8208
      @daveholt8208 4 роки тому +1

      It has 'high note priority'... only notes higher than the key held down will sound... if he still held the same note with left hand and played a lower note, it wouldn't sound until he let go of that higher note... 'low note priority' is the other way round.

  • @BearingTheWeight

    why didn't i buy this effin thing in the 90s when I had a chance... ::face palm!:: I need a modular synth with a built in time machine... balls

      a synth god hell bent on bringing the prices of gear out of the stratosphere. I get terrified every time him or 8 bit guy does a video that it might be about a piece I have been hunting. lol

    Why are they patching it to play as a standard subtractive monosynth?

    • @danielgrace7887
      @danielgrace7887 4 роки тому

      My thought exactly. It can sound amazing and musical as a sound effect generator.
