This has to be one of the best demonstration videos of musical equipment I have ever seen!! Only thing better would be a video tutorial of each section of the board and what it does. For people like me that don't know how to make diffrent synth sounds. Great job!! Thank you!!
Sweet to see such a musical demonstration of its capabilities. I’m mostly interested in it for lead and bass lines. This was a good example of what it would do if I get one. I appreciate it!
I think this synth sounds best set to the saw wave only; especially in the lower octaves; and making use of the excellent filter. I find it sounds creamy and we sometimes call it the butter bass.
This sounds great - I'm looking to get a lower end synth to produce some 80s synth sounds - for recordings and maybe a couple of live gigs. Would you recommend this or is there something better in the same sort of price bracket? Thanks
The microkorg, Novation mininova or Akai miniak (if you can find a good one) are all capable of those sort of sounds and can be got for less. Plus you can save patches which is a major bonus for live play. The Akai can make some massively layered and manipulable sounds if you have time to dig into the engine. The MS-1 has a more instant feel to it, but harder to control in a live situation. But I remember people back in the day with flip albums full of photos of patch settings for the SH-101 - and that's even easier to do now. The MS-1 sounds amazing and I'm glad I picked one up. Behringer is killing it with all their recent gear. For recording purposes I'd use the MS (or a Pro-1), but for playing live the ease of use wins over a totally authentic sound. If I can't recreate something, I just sample it for live stuff.
If you get a midi controller keyboard I really recommend the IK Multimedia UNO. Cheap for what it delivers. 2 oscillatorer, arpeggiator and sequencer, plus it saves patches. Digitally controlled oscillators but it is analogue and can make great leads and bass sounds. My personal recommendation when it comes to analogue synths under 300 euro. Here in Sweden they are only 160 euro.
Probably worth mentioning, just in case you’re not aware...it’s monophonic, so if you’re after big 80s chords...you’re better off with a poly synth. However for basses, leads, FX...the ms1/101 is a beaut.
I got my red one from b and h and the sound is analog not a fan of the sequencer and arp but I use my minilogue xds sequencer and boom instant goodness
@@jessihawkins9116 it's for more than just looks lol. I figured it out long ago. I am currently running the audio of my moog werkstatt through the MS1 audio input and controlling both the MS1 and the moog via the keys on the MS1. So it's like the MS1 has two oscillators running this way.
@@holygeneration7 Didn't say it's not a good fit for more advanced users. ;) I've been thinking about picking one up. Right now I have a Minibrute 2 and Behringer Neutron for my monosynths. I thought about trading the Minibrute for a MS-1. But the Minibrute and Neutron are so nice together because they both have a 48 point patch bay. I am however not a huge fan of the filter on the Minibrute. Still thinking about it... I also own a Juno 106, Alpha Juno 2 and a D-50. So if I get this I'll have the whole 80's Roland package. :)
@@jeshkam 😄 Yeah. If you _need_ presets, a Bass Station might be similar. This thing is cool for learning synthesis, and just evolving sounds over time.
And finally a Great demo with someone that knows how to PLAY the Synth!! Bravo. This is how you play a synth
This video wouldn't have been the same without the 1980s vintage gold watch ;))
But at least the guy knows how to play lol.
At least we know he played at 12:28 on Tuesday the 22nd :D
@@peterschaefer1665 that’s because of the watch. It gives him the power :)
It reminded me of Del Boy's gold Casio :-p
Nah! Not until he sports a Casio calculator watch!
Our 15 months old daughter loves this jam, we listen to at least 10 times everyday :)
This is precious. Nurture that fascination! She may well have the music within!
Incredible skills switching so quickly between playing in near perfect sync and adjusting parameters.
Finally someone who has complete control over the synth! Great skill! Very nice to listen and watch. Thanks!
These are really basic patches

@@gear4musicguitarsnice melodies
This is a MINT demo. Wish more videos were like this.
Great video. Really appreciate that you spent a lot of time focusing purely on the sounds as opposed to only the sequencer/arp.
Hell yeah 😊 just bought one I'm excited
I think I'll get this over the novation mini nova ,this has a very good tone
Best demonstration I’ve ever seen
Тhis demo sold it to me actually
what happens if you set the modulator to "random"?

Brilliant jam!
Great Demo 👍 Thanks !!!
Excellent 💯🎹
Everyone of these is a dope song idea 😂🔥
so good to see someone actually playing it instead of doing some super shitty arpeggios or sequences

Are these any good as a midi controller? I don't care about knobs and stuff just keys.

Is there a patch chart for the opening Bass sound?
Is it easy to sync with the volcas?
Can the MS-1 be used as a controller for a couple of synth apps on my iPhone? Poison-202 and Model D. 🎹🎹🎶🎶🔊🔊😁
Do you know how to get the ext audio in to work??? I cannot figure out how to get sound from my phone through that input on the back.
You probably need gate and filter open... I’d assume the signal path is the same of the oscillator
It is just for looks like the original. The plug isn’t functional.

How did you manage to get the portamento to work like the original??
Amazing demo btw!!!
I think there’s a firmware update that allows to set it
korg connected with midi ?
The SH-101 is domoarigato
Hi, can you set the pitch for each oscillator? Thanks!
Nope, it’s just one oscillator with a sub bass that can go and octave or 2 below
I want one!
What is the little drum machine on the side?
Korg Volca Beats
Hey is this good for beginner producers I like the sound
The original Roland designs are the most easy , so is the cloned SH101 in Ms 1 form No menu dive etc . What you see is what you get .
Great for beginners

The only other synth in it price range is the Korg Monologue this is a way better mono.
Is this talkbox compatible?
It should work fine.
@@crnkmnky it does too 😎
Are there presets in this synth?
There are no presets.
@@crnkmnky Can you upload and save your presets?
@@jeshkam You can write down the settings on a notepad or blank template, or take a picture of them.
@@crnkmnky Damn 😳
@@jeshkam 😄 Yeah. If you _need_ presets, a Bass Station might be similar.

F YES!
Is it me or it sounds a bit flat?
Wait....is that Moby?
The only part I can play : 9:54
Some great sounds coming out of something that looks like a cheap plastic kids toy. Nice demo.
Most of the machines built today look like plastic toys even the $2000 ones.
Just picked up one. Tried to match your sound but your going way too fast!
cherry popper!
Great demo, but please play more chords next time
the synth is monophonic, it cannot play chords
@@colewilliams8082 Oh, my bad! 🤫
My MS-1 doesn’t sound nearly as good as this... Strange.
Why not ?
Sometimes its the wizard not the wand
Smoke some weed bro
@@MrALAGRANPUTA maybe he added compressor and other devices..
Maybe he knows what he's doing
Fuck me I love it so and I can’t decide wich one I should buy ((((((
:)
Modern synths without even primitive patch storage are useless.
Communist Synthesizer XD
