Vintage FM-Synths: Korg DS8 und Korg 707 (Bericht in Deutsch)

Ein kleiner Text zu den beiden 4OP – FM Synthesizern die sich anfühlen wie Subtraktivsynthesizer. FM in einfach bedienbar – Ist das heute noch sinnvoll? Hier mein Bericht… Green Box: Korg DS8 und Korg 707. Aus meiner Sicht: Eher unterschätzt, denn schon als 8x Multitimbral-Synth wäre er selbst als Drumsynth mit ner Tribe ER1 breits ein kleiner lustiger Drumcomputer mit originellen Sounds, man muss natürlich die Sounds selbst bauen.

General Discussion: give me your feedback

There’s 2 or 3 little things I’d like to know: 1) as posted in prev.

Kawai K5000 Dual – Organ Version (Mod)

Didn’t know there was a funny K5000 mod sold, which is basically a doble K5000 with the S-Version Controls and the W-Version added. Ad you might know, the K5000 is the most advanced addivive hardware synth made (beside the acxel / axcel 2). It’s not a mod, it’s a real product. UPDATE: This is a mod, no official version!! so this thing has never been sold officially by Kawai atc. But the Yamaha one did: On the same site: Find the FVX1, the early 8OP Yamaha FM Synth as organ…
