🎹 Korg Kross Tutorial Bonus: The Song Synthesaurus Rex 2026-09-28 | 🎹 Korg Kross Tutorial Bonus: The Song
Korg Kross & Novation Ciruit - ambient Synthesaurus Rex 2024-04-10 | I call my track "Opus Ridiculus", because I am kind of making fun of synth acts like Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze and Kraftwerk and J.M. Jarre - but at the same time hommaging them. They didn't care about being commercially successful (mostly) - they just did the electronic music they liked to do. Which I respect.

Guess the 80s song by the AI generated image part 1 Synthesaurus Rex 2024-03-13 | I put some 1980s chart hit titles into an A.I., and it gave me funny pictures back. Guess what was what! Also, plz visit patreon.com/synthesaurus for more synth, music and fun!
Rockin on the Korg Kross 2 with Korg Volca Drum playing drums Synthesaurus Rex 2024-02-28 | I hope no real rockband member gets offended by this, but I just wanted to check out how rocking the KK2 can be. Kick and Snare I did on the Korg Volca Drum. Just to test if it can do "rock" sounds. If you like my Korg Kross 2 sounds, you might be interested in downloading my 350+ sound patches. Which you can do here: patreon.com/posts/download-24-11-93462553
Yamaha Reface DX - looper jam - plus Korg Volca Drum Synthesaurus Rex 2024-02-12 | Well, the YAMAHA Reface DX FM synthesizer comes with a "looper". That is a type of sequencer. Some people like loopers - some don't. I personally am not a fan of loopers. I'm not saying they are bad, I'm just saying I have no use for them. Here is the Reface DX's looper in action.

Korg Volca Drum | Crave & FX600 by Behringer | Jammin around Synthesaurus Rex 2024-01-31 | In Synthesaurus' humble opinion, the Korg Volca Drum is great, and the Behringer Crave synth is great, especially when you put it through the Behringer multi effects pedal FX600. I'm just messing around with them in this video - I'm sure more talented people can do better stuff with that setup! For more synths, fun and music, visit my blog patreon.com/synthesaurusThat's the place where you also can motivate me to do more videos like this by subscribing. Just in case you liked this video.
Space Team! Episode 1: The Mysterious Monolith Synthesaurus Rex 2024-01-26 | Everything you hear in this video I made on my Korg Kross 2. Even the (SPOILERS!) pingpong-ball noises. The only exception: the vocoder voice in the credits music is not the Kross vocoder. Although it could have been. But it's technically more convenient for me to use the Novation Mininova vocoder instead. Anyways, all the Kross sounds used here I share on my Patreon site with the patrons (subscription 1 dollar minimum per month, cancel anytime, get over 350 Korg Kross 2 sound patches): patreon.com/posts/download-24-11-93462553Please note that these patches are not compatible to Korg Kross model 1. But for the Kross 1, I also share over 200 patches, right here: patreon.com/posts/all-4-korg-kross-23312250If you don't want to spend any money though, you are always welcome to check out the free content on my synth blog: patreon.com/synthesaurus
Synthesaurus - Emulator - full album Synthesaurus Rex 2024-01-10 | Hi there. This is my "Emulator" album. Ten songs (plus bonus track) I recorded covers of in my little amateur home studio. I love those 10 songs (and the bonus track). That's why I covered them. So please enjoy and sing along!00:01 Pet Shop Boys - It's a Sin04:31 Madness - Our House07:58 David Williams - The Days of Pearly Spencer12:39 Ben E. King - Stand By Me15:40 Kraftwerk - The Robots20:28 Billy Idol - Rebel Yell25:26 The Police - Walking on the Moon29:53 David Bowie - Cat People (Putting Out Fire)35:33 New Order - In a Lonely Place40:50 Jeff Wayne - The Eve of the War47:53 Hedwig's Theme - Harry Potter soundtrackMy guess is that Youtube will block some of the tracks by muting them, or parts of them. You can listen to and download the uncensored version of the album here, for free of course: [link will follow]
Ice Machine - 1984 Depeche Mode cover on Roland MC-101, Novation Mininova Synthesaurus Rex 2024-01-02 | In case you still have to deal with ads when watching the video, let me assure you, it's not my fault. I do not monetize this video. However, as a connosieur of the original Depeche Mode song, you will notice the following:1. I did not cover the original studio-version (which sounds like Nintendo), but the incredible 1984 live version, which sadly never had a studio released.2. This is "my version" of what that studio release could have sounded like.3. In case you are wondering why a robot is singing it instead of a real singer. It's because out of 2 notes, I will miss 4. Never in my life have I ever hit the right note. That's why my voice needs electronic support. Also I think robot voices are cool.4. Very early versions of Ice Machine contained a final chorus that goes "the ice machine". They dropped that in the official releases for whatever reason. Since I always liked that final chorus, I put it in my version. For even more Ice-Machine-nerd-madness please visit: patreon.com/posts/95733642
Neo Space Western soundtrack on Korg Kross 2 Synthesaurus Rex 2023-12-28 | I composed this on my Korg Kross 2 music workstation, mostly using my own patches. If you are interested in those custom patches and want to have them on your own Korg Kross 2, please visit my synth blog. Where I also explain some other stuff, like where this composition comes from: patreon.com/synthesaurusI apologize for the video caption below wobble around like this. That's unintentional. My video editing software usually does not do that. But I decided to let it stay in there because I think it's an interesting effect nonetheless.

5 retro drum styles on Korg Kross 2 Synthesaurus Rex 2023-11-08 | I intentionally did not try to reproduce realistic drum modules (although I could have), simply because that would have resulted in many useless sounds. Noone has ever used an analog ride cymbal. Yet I put one in there, for "nostalgic" reasons. But not on every set. Also, to avoid and replace doubles, like toms or cowbells, I put in "typical" percussion sounds for the era, like synthzapps or noises.As soon as I finish polishing this drumkit, I'll post it in my upcoming PCG download for the patrons who support the Synthesaurus Show on patreon.com/synthesaurus
Korg Volca Beats versus Korg Volca Drum - and the winner is ... Synthesaurus Rex 2023-10-25 | I'm not gonna spoil the video, but we have a very clear winner in this duel of the Korg pocket drum machines. Well, one of them I wouldn't even call a drum machine, but rather a mini-groovebox. And let me repeat: I am not bashing either instrument. I'm just saying that one them isn't worth its money, but would be, if it was under 100 bucks.If you are into synths, music & fun, I'd invite you to my little blog: patreon.com/synthesaurus
32 new patches for Yamaha Reface DX (2023 09) Synthesaurus Rex 2023-09-25 | So here's my next load of 32 new patches for the Yamaha Reface DX. Just to give you some ideas of what you can do on that budget FM synthesizer. More on synths, music and fun on Synthesaurus' site patreon.com/synthesaurus
Roland MC-101 - making complete songs (chaining scenes) Synthesaurus Rex 2023-07-26 | CORRECTION: In 7:17 it says you can switch to banks 17-32. That's nonsense of course. You can switch to banks 9-16.If the video is helpful to you, or you enjoyed it for other reasons, please let me know in the comments. You can also support the show on patreon.com/synthesaurus
New sound patches for Korg Kross 2 July 2023 Synthesaurus Rex 2023-07-04 | No, I'm serious: If you know a cheaper constant source of Korg Kross 2 patches than Synthesaurus since 2014, let us know in the comments!

Which is here: patreon.com/posts/all-4-korg-kross-23312250Here is the list of sound patches included in my current PCG for the Korg Kross 2: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18XI7W_QubW0Fg0zioj8bAVRRO26cX2j0d-S8_XsHoCk/edit#gid=341786701And here is how it goes: Subscribe to my Patreon page for 1 dollar, download my current PCG file, and then unsubscribe. But then you have to re-subscribe in 3 months to get my next new patches. Or you stay subscribed. But no matter what, I appreciate your support!
Korg KR mini - my review Synthesaurus Rex 2023-04-11 | In short: If you need a pocket drummer to practize your guitar or bass guitar to, the KORG KR mini drums is nice. Due to its lack of MIDI capabilities, its not for electronic musicians. Since I occasionally play bass and guitar, its a nice thing to have. But I don't use it for actual music production. For more of my music shenanigans, check out my little blog: patreon.com/synthesaurus
Yamaha Reface DX - my review Synthesaurus Rex 2023-02-27 | Is the Reface DX the right synth keyboard for you? I don't know. Well, it can do FM sounds better than any ROMpler, that's for sure. If that's what you need. Perhaps we better discuss this on my site: patreon.com/synthesaurusOr download my DX sounds for free on: soundmondo.yamahasynth.com/voices?reface=DX&user=31377

Behringer MS 1 synthesizer and BOSS SY 1 synth guitar pedal - jam Synthesaurus Rex 2022-10-06 | I can't really tell if this is a good synth pedal for guitarists, but I'm sure there are many videos on YT already about this. All I can tell you: for a budget-synth-homerecorder like me, it's lots of fun! If you are a synth-enthusiast like me, feel free to visit me on patreon.com/synthesaurus
Novation Circuit & Behringer MS-1: Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) Synthesaurus Rex 2022-07-13 | Yes, I know, SDAMOT is 40 years old. But I'm sorry: I don't get that many requests on how to play Justin Bieber songs. In fact, none. I only get request for songs that are that old. I wonder why that is. Oh, and if you are a proud co-owner of the Novation Circuit, you can download the patches and drum samples I used for this here, totally for free: patreon.com/posts/sharing-my-42160134

Welcome to the Synthesaurus family, Roland JD-08! Synthesaurus Rex 2022-06-20 | The Roland JD-08 is a fun little addition to my home studio! If you are a fan of 90s synths, and by that I mean "real synths", that can do crazy stuff (not Korg-M1-glorified-entertainer-keyboard crap), the JD-08 is awesome! Visit me on my synth-blog patreon.com/synthesaurus
Roland JD 08 all waveforms Synthesaurus Rex 2022-06-15 | Yes, 18 minutes of what's basically test noises. Please keep in mind that the Youtube audio compression algorithms might cut some of the frequencies here, so the waveforms might sound a bit different in real life.I would like to see MORE of this kind of video! Just show me the waveforms your new synth has! Because that's the very first thing I usually check when testing new synth gear. For more synth & fun, feel free to visit me on
This is what the Korg Kross 2 can sound like Synthesaurus Rex 2022-06-13 | Yeah, I'm talking about the Korg Kross 2, because it carries the whole song. I just added a vocoder voice, which the KK2 also could do, but I used the Novation Mininova, because its vocoder sounds a bit better and is easier to customize. Also I did the lead sound on my JD-08, but we could replace that with any similar sound from my KK2 library, if we wanted. What's my "KK2 library"? Well, it's all sound programs I did since 2014 on my Korg Kross. There are over 300 sounds I did since then, and I share them with the kind people who support my little channel for the small donation of 1 $ on my Patreon page: patreon.com/synthesaurusHere is the link to the constantly updated list of all sound patches in my current PCG file, which contains all of my Korg Kross 2 sounds: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18XI7W_QubW0Fg0zioj8bAVRRO26cX2j0d-S8_XsHoCk/edit?usp=sharing
Roland JD-08 factory sequencer patterns demo - no talking Synthesaurus Rex 2022-06-07 | I shot the video right after unboxing the JD-08, so I didn't know yet that you can switch patterns way easier with the value knob. And with all types of demo sounds, patterns or songs, this shows only a fraction of what crazy things you can do with it! For more info on the Roland JD-08, please read my post: patreon.com/posts/67476954
KETRON SD2 sound demo: 80s Miami Vice style Synthesaurus Rex 2022-06-01 | Before you post hate-comments about the bad things I said about the Korg Kross: I didn't. I love the Korg Kross (both models) most likely even more than you do, but you need to face the fact that it's not perfect. It has some flaws. And if you don't like some of the standard sounds like me, the SD2 might be a good addition to your home studio. Is all I'm saying. For more synth, music & fun please visit me on patreon.com/synthesaurus
Korg Kross 2 new sounds May 2022 - lets funk & rock! Synthesaurus Rex 2022-05-30 | Oh, I forgot to mention that the noise arp and the alternate-strumming-functions on the switches are of course MIDI-synchronized, so they will automatically play in-time in whatever MIDI-timed project you use it in. Here's the download link (well, it's actually a link to an introduction text post, which has the download link, but you'll see): patreon.com/posts/67088709Here is the link to the constantly updated list of all sound patches in my current PCG file, which contains all of my Korg Kross 2 sounds: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18XI7W_QubW0Fg0zioj8bAVRRO26cX2j0d-S8_XsHoCk/edit?usp=sharing
Hohner Liliput electric keyboard from 1958 Synthesaurus Rex 2022-05-09 | Well, I don't know about you, but Synthesaurus finds the history of "electric keyboard instruments" quite fascinating. That's why I got this beauty for a couple of bucks on a garage sale. And frankly, even it didn't have worked (which it wonderfully does), I would have bought it for the design alone. For more synth & keyboard wackiness, visit me on patreon.com/synthesaurus
Korg Kross 2 new sounds March 2022 Synthesaurus Rex 2022-03-17 | I just wanted to find out if I need to buy Roland keyboards to have the typical Roland sound on my Korg Kross 2. Turns out: it depends. You CAN do 90's Roland sounds on the KK2 - some way. But not all the way. But it's close. However, here is the link patreon.com/posts/63925748
The worst keyboard I ever owned? Bontempi PM 61 Synthesaurus Rex 2022-01-10 | Well, to be honest, it's pretty bad actually. But on the other hand, for a budget home keyboard, produced in the 1990s by an italian toy company - it's actually not that bad! I've had worse from Yamaha and Casio!
Behringer Crave sequencer operation cheat sheet free download Synthesaurus Rex 2022-01-06 | Please note that the cheat sheet does not cover ALL Crave sequencer functions, but only those AY use, or to be exact: having a hard time to remember.

Behringer Crave and Korg VolcaBeats jam 2 Synthesaurus Rex 2021-11-08 | The Behringer Crave is tempo-controlling the VolcaBeats via classic MIDI, while its audio output is running through the Behringer MultiFX pedal, which is set to stereo delay. The VolcaBeats output is dry.

Behringer Crave & Korg Volca Beats jam Synthesaurus Rex 2021-10-25 | You know I'm a great fan of portable little synth budget devices, so I got myself a Korg Volca Beats.

War of the Worlds played on Korg Kross 2 music workstation Synthesaurus Rex 2021-10-23 | If you own a Korg Kross 2, you might be interested in the sounds I used: mostly my own. Besides the drums and the string orchestra, those are all user sounds. Made by yours truly, the Synthesaurus.

Harry Potter [Hedwigs Theme] on Yamaha PSS-A50 Synthesaurus Rex 2021-09-27 | Did you know this was composed by John Williams (Star Wars, Superman, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, ...)? However, I played it with only my index fingers, to show the notes. I wouldn't call myself a super-Potter-nerd, but the harmonies here are very fun & interesting! 😁However, to have even more fun with synths and music, visit:patreon.com/synthesaurus (my Patreon page)and my little shop:redbubble.com/people/synthesaurus/shop?asc=u
50 retro synth patches on Behringer MS-101 Synthesaurus Rex 2021-09-06 | Why am I still bothering you with that synthesizer clone from 1982? Because basically nothing has changed since then: Today's synth-sounds are the very same since 40 years. The only thing that has changed are the effects used on them. Let's discuss this on patreon.com/synthesaurus
Korg Kross: how to do the Stereophonics Dakota sound Synthesaurus Rex 2021-08-10 | It's for Kross 1 and 2. You know what else is remarkable of that sound, besides the fact that it is easy to do on the Kross? It's also a perfect example for synthesizer sounds not having changed since 40 years. If said patron hadn't asked me to do it on the Kross, I could have easily done it on my 1982 remake of the Roland SH-101 (the Behringer MS-101).

Behringer Crave: 20 classic patches Synthesaurus Rex 2021-06-24 | In case someone didn't get it: I am giving my patches epic names, knowing very well that they ... well, do not sound that epic. It's a bit of a parody of the 1980's keyboards & synth sounds. Geez, am I explaining my jokes - AGAIN? Why do I need to?? However, keep on reading on patreon.com/posts/52884627

Novation Mininova jam with my own patch Synthesaurus Rex 2021-04-10 | To give some context: I started with the Korg Kross music workstation, which is a pretty great synth keyboard, but it has some flaws. To find gear that compensate those flaws, I take the donations from my patrons on patreon.com/synthesaurus and try to find said gear. The Novation Mininova is one of those: For (relatively) little money, you get a very good synthesizer and an awesome vocoder keyboard.
