Korg iMono/ Poly iOS App Synth Universe 2017-08-24 | Trying out the new app from Korg, based on the Mono/Poly synthesizer from the 1980s. The arp presets are great. Haven't dug in deep yet, but it sounds amazing.Please subscribe to my channel if you haven't yet!
Roland CR-1000 Synth Universe 2017-04-11 | The Roland CR-1000 is a preset drum machine, using the sounds from the more interesting drum machine the TR-505. Only has one mono output and no headphone input. Has basic drum patterns like disco, rock, etc. It does have shuffle and individual levels for the sounds. You can also turn on the clap within a pattern. Bit of an oddity. The only other preset drum machine I've come across is the humdrum Yamaha RX120. The Roland CR-1000 is the ugly half sister of the TR-707 perhaps.
Korg iWAVESTATION Random Synth Universe 2017-01-23 | This video shows the Korg iWAVESTATION app using the random function to create interesting Wave Sequences.
Akai Rhythm Wolf Patterns Synth Universe 2016-06-30 | The best I could get out of the Wolf! I hate the snare and the bass synth is OK on its own, but I couldn't get what I wanted with it playing with the pattern. Best bit: I like the muting of drum parts. Haven't really looked at syncing it with analog gear. I tried a Korg Poly 61, but it didn't work. It will probably work with the new Korg stuff like the Volcas and Monotribe. Or not.
Akai Rhythm Wolf Analog Drum Machine Synth Universe 2016-06-29 | I have been sitting on this one for a while, not sure what to make of it. This video goes through the individual sounds, including the bass synth. My second video goes through pattern playing, muting, etc. I know it's not a well liked machine. It looks nice. The sound is OK. The Howl feature is OK as well if used sparingly. It seems to put gain on the output, creating a lot of noise.
BOSS DR 110 Korg Monotron Delay Synth Universe 2016-06-23 | The BOSS DR 110 gets the treatment this time with going through the dirty Monotron Delay.
BOSS Dr Rhythm DR-110 Synth Universe 2016-06-22 | I just got this in yesterday. I used to own one of these, and glad I got another one, although paid a lot for it! A bit smaller than a Volca, but the sounds are great, especially the clap.
Yamaha RX11 Korg Monotron Delay Synth Universe 2016-06-21 | Playing around with the Yamaha RX11 drum machine through a noisy Monotron Delay. Some interesting results. Turning a so-so digital drum machine into an analog noisy as hell dirt machine!If you enjoy my content, please consider supporting what I do. Thank you: ko-fi.com/jamieoverton95047
Korg Monotron Delay Synth Universe 2016-02-08 | My favourite Monotron. It is capable of making some serious nasty analog delay. Process an external piece of gear through it such as a drum machine and make it go bonkers!
Korg Volca Beats and Korg Monotron Delay Synth Universe 2016-02-04 | The Korg Monotron Delay has a nasty and dirty delay. The Korg Volca Beats is having its sounds mangled through the delay.
Korg Monotribe Synth Universe 2015-05-04 | I'm a bit late in getting one of these, but here's me playing around with it! I love how it sounds like my old MS10.
iPad Music App Novation Launchpad Effects Synth Universe 2015-03-11 | A bit of a play around with the Trance set using some of the effects.
KORG S3 Rhythm Workstation Synth Universe 2015-01-16 | If you enjoy my content, please consider supporting what I do. Thank you: ko-fi.com/jamieoverton95047This is probably KORG's best drum machine and though it has a heap of features that most drum machines don't have, it doesn't reach the heights or quality of a Roland TR-707 or Yamaha RX5. The claps are dreadful and on-board ram is almost non-existent for anything serious. As you can see from the demo songs, it is still a capable machine with careful programming. I think I like one kick. Nice effects though and almost worth the effort to learn this beast. Has 4 multi outs and 2 MIDI outs and a LOAD of other features. Love it or loathe it! Better than a Yamaha RX7 (nah!) or just piping the Alesis HR16 for build quality.
Casio SK-1 8 Bit Sampling Korg iKaossilator Synth Universe 2014-12-25 | If you enjoy my content, please consider supporting what I do. Thank you: ko-fi.com/jamieoverton95047Not as stupid as it sounds. A great way to create new sounds from primitive instruments. The SK-1 is more toy than serious instrument, it is great if you want 8 bit crunchiness. Because of the way I have it set up you can only hear the iPad once it is recorded into the SK-1, that's why there is silence.
iPad Music App Korg Gadget Kingston Synth Universe 2014-12-24 | Another of Korg Gadget's instruments (I haven't done one of these videos for months!). This one is a chip synthesizer and one of my favourites. For info & review go here: http://synthuniverse.com/korg-gadget
Yamaha RX17 Drum Machine Sounds and Patterns Synth Universe 2014-12-18 | If you enjoy my content, please consider supporting what I do. Thank you: ko-fi.com/jamieoverton95047Another almost boring drum machine from Yamaha. I think it's like the RX21 and 21L combined. It is an interesting machine if you want a basic sequencer to run your samplers from. I read somewhere people have made records doing just that. Very basic. The sounds are OK though. If you had the choice between any of the RX machines, go for the RX5 or RX7 no question.
Roland TR-505 Drum Machine Patterns Synth Universe 2014-12-18 | If you enjoy my content, please consider supporting what I do. Thank you: ko-fi.com/jamieoverton95047One of the easiest drum machines to use and the first one I got in about 1988 which was still selling new. Related to the TR-707 but slimmed down to the size of a crappy RX machine. Has better sounds and editing than the RX17 or similar. Love the claps, the kicks, everything about it. Funny enough these can go for crazy prizes, like over $200.
Alesis HR16 Sounds and Patterns Synth Universe 2014-12-16 | If you enjoy my content, please consider supporting what I do. Thank you: ko-fi.com/jamieoverton95047The second HR16 video I've done using most of the sounds of the original unit in several patterns. I prefer the sounds of the HR16b, but these are okay, better than the bad boys from Yamaha! Next up the Roland TR-505.
Alesis HR16b Drum Machine Sounds Synth Universe 2014-12-02 | If you enjoy my content, please consider supporting what I do. Thank you: ko-fi.com/jamieoverton95047A quick demo using all the sounds in the HR16b set in various patterns. I have two HR16s and one has the sound chips from the HR16b which are more electronic sounding than the original sounds. I hate the claps on both units! I will put up a video for the original HR16 sounds. What do you think of this drum machine? I've been wanting to get one of these for years just for one of the kicks on the original machine. Because they are so old they usually come with their own problems, namely double triggering sounds, having to hit the pads really hard to make a sound, cleaning the dirt off the internal contacts so the buttons work, etc. I think the HR16 is a decent machine, a lot better than the Yamaha RX8 but nothing too special.
