rejected synths
Германия
Добавлен 20 янв 2020
Sometimes it takes some time for Synths to become legends, sometimes they stay ignored, frowned upon or even laughed at for ever.
Sure you can pay silly money for cult gear, but you really don't have to!
Digital marketplaces everywhere are full of unloved synths that can be had for next to no money. This channel is dedicated to all the rejected synths, I've managed to pile up in the last few years. Some of them bombed right after release and soon filled bargain bins, some were popular and widely sold, but went out of fashion quickly, some are so odd, potential buyers never managed to care.
Hunting down rejected gear has become a passion, playing around with it, a source of joy. So why not share my discoveries with everyone?

RS065 Yamaha CS1X: Can't Stop Raving
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.День назад
Life is all about choices. The ones that you make, the things you pick, will shape your path. So when I choose a Roland MC 303 as my first proper ‚synth‘ in the mid 90s I also did choose not to get a Yamaha CS1x. As money was tight, I hat to make a choice and opted for Roland’s little box of dance wonders. I spent a lot of time with my MC 303 and still own it to this day, but having acquired a ...

Multimode Demo song is fiiiiiire
are you a tekno dj? your soundworld is really really similar to someone who i listen
Just got a K Station for 80GBP. Had to repair top C key. Some knobs missing so ordered similar from AliExpress. One broken fader shaft (Env Release) I've asked Novation UK for a schematic but not heard back yet. I'll end up removing it from circuit to properly measure the value. The Bournes range will likely source a replacement. Then I have to learn about the patch system! The Joy!
Novation have been super supportive when I asked them for support on a half dead bass station. Maybe try contacting them again.
Findet bei Dir Zuhause statt?
Wenn es so aussehen könnte also ob, hab ich editing mässig einen guten Job gemacht 🤩
@rejectedsynths ...& nächstes Mal Bilder von Deinem Schloss, bitte.
Are these your own demo songs? In any case, far more balanced than the pathologically overbassed ones from the otherwise nice AN1x: Some "songs" were so pseudo overbassed like no.real analogue ever sounds like. Like this: "Hey everyone, hear how incredibly warm I'm able to sound!" Anything else but warm but disgustingly artificial. 🤮 ...what of course was the programner's guilt not the instrument's decent basic sound.
Yes these are my own demo tracks, no external editing at all - just pure cs1x
All sounds from csx1??
Yes, I directly recorded every part individually without any further external editing
WOW the image quality is great for a video from 1995 👍
Bro I just found mine in the loft
Great video,subbed!
Great Video. There is some noise crunch, for example around 8:38. I have one of these little machines, and mine is similarly noisy, I thought it was just my unit, I’m reassured that it seems universal! Still love the little machine though.
Jonas Steur (Estuera) used the CS1X through most of his career, like in his hit Fall to Pieces
I despise this synth. Yamaha did a really poor job with this synth. To think, Roland brought out the JP8000 earlier the SAME year!
This really is comparing apples with pears as we say in Germany. The JP8000 was a 'high end' VA and the CS1x a beginners rompler. That's like complaining a Ford Fiesta can't outrun a Posche 😜
@rejectedsynths I agree. I was trying to make the point that it wasn't the era's underdeveloped technology that was the reason for the CS1X being such a poor synth, but a really badly designed product made by a prestigious company. I felt like they robbed me of my £600.
@EpicWinz yes, as I think I made clear in my video, they clearly tried to cash in into the then current techo craze
god damn fleshy shell.
Good one 😂👍
Nice Video! I love this Synth and it it is inspiring to program and modify patches on it. I even managet to get a Doom 2016 Saw Sound of it... Here i used only the CS1x with a little bit of post Modulaton Effects and a Playstation Reverb + Guitars to get that 90s Industrial thing if you are interested :) ruclips.net/video/kdSlnKVMQTs/видео.html
That intro is fire
This is a revelation to me. Its a long story but i knew a guy who decided to borrow a shit ton of money to buy a bunch of gear for a dream that didnt work out. I remember he had a blue thing which i couldnt pin down. This is it. He even let me do a sample bank with my eps16+. Crazy. Mind blown. 🤣👍👍
The CS1x was my fitst synth and I found it only usable as a MIDI controller. It didn't sound good and the filters where very steppy. Later on I got an Electribe MX-1, which was the right starter synth for me. It's probably still the best groovebox when it comes to the cobination of being intuitive and having great sounds.
XG sounds very cheap and crumpled on HFs. I used it a lot and that sound character finally pissed me off so much so I even can't watch reviews. Zero nostalgy. Put mine to shelf on early VST era and finally donated it to children in need.
I really enjoyed the story you told in the video, but the extreme use of AI contnt is kinda desturbing to be honest. I really dont like it. Feels so alien
When you couple it with an AN1X it really shines. The perfect combo.
Awesome video, love the effort you’ve put into the various scenes, little cameo winks in the posters, and brilliant sounds. Feels like you’ve captured the dreams of my early 20s.
Anyone else find themselves gurning at the four minute mark?
Instant sub, demo tracks are on point
I bought mine when it came out in 1996 and I still use it to date.
My 1st hardware setup: MC-303 and CS2X. Shamelessly copying my nephew and his friend who combined a MC-303 and a CS1X. Wich we then combined together, 2 MC-303 sequencers and a CS1X and a CS2X. My 1st synth was a Yamaha DX 27 or 21 I don't remember wich one, they both were a scaled down DX 7 FM type. Wich is not really interesting for Techno and Trance production. I got a Yamaha RM1X groovebox later on wich rocked !!! The MC-303 is great for the drums and basslines, the TR-909 style drum sequencer is a great tool for programming and controlling drums patterns live. Cool arpeggiators on the MC-303 and the CS1X and the CS2X too. Man I miss this old gear, lots of MIDI cables daisychaining the gear and hours of fun.
I had (and still have) the CS1x and a friend of mine had the MC303.... Together we played some cool jams, indeed!
@shambien yeah I thought VSTs and MIDI controllers were going to be great. They are, but I miss the hardware. And we had to write songs and learn them. Cool stuff would happen too, one comes up with some beat and the others lays something over with the synth and it just clicks ! Like wow, listen to this shit !!! What if we put the thing from last week with it.. Yeah we'd have some good times with making music together. We did a great gig once, with the MC-303, a nordrack and a guitar with the BOSS GT-5 pedal on an ambient festival, the ORB was there as a DJ gig and they had issues with their CD players and we had a spare for them. Good memories, I forgot about all that stuff already. The 90's were good times man. Crazy but good !!!
Cs1x/cs2x are fantastic synths with lots of depth and a varied arp like the virus series
Must. Make. Distinction. About. Sound. Generation. Sources.... A 'rompler' is banks of samples, played at different pitches, or 'pitched samples'. They deteriorate and change their tuning when played slower and cannot change pitch without changing the length of the sample being played back. A 'wavetable type of sound generation such as AWM is still using a sample but with much more advanced technology, in which, the sample is divided into minute sections, which are routed through oscillators and filters to add the ability to manipulate the initial sample more deeply and retain the tuning and quality when pitched over a larger area of the scale and even retaining the integrity of the original sample over multiple octaves. FM is pure tone generation without a sample being used. So a rompler is cheap and simple sample playback and altering the frequency to achieve different notes, but will degrade or change the sound of tuned too far from the original sample, say around 1 octave.
I'm referring to the term rompler here as most people actually consider machines like the CS1x, The Korg M1, the Proteus series etc. as romplers. Some are pure romplers, some are a bit more sophisticated - most people don't care. If you do: sorry for the inaccuracy
@@rejectedsynths OK. But AWM is wavetable. Advanced Wave Memory. AWM was Yamaha's first wavetable technology. The Korg M1 was not wavetable, but mixed aspects of samples with tone generation. Just not processed into a table beforehand. To my knowledge. A rompler is simply playing back samples at different frequencies from a note sampled in middle A for instance.
Im in love with Your new visuals for demo tracks - a full package! Am I correct - Bad Gear inspired?
Well it's a bit of diving into how I can use AI to help me create some 'assets' for my videos really. I asked it to create some mid 90s inspired rooms to go with the videogame ads I used
pls don't use genAI going forward... the slop is distracting me from the great demos!
Don't worry, as often, I just try out new things and these 90s videogame ads were so lo res using them without this trick would have hurt your eyes a lot more than these uncanny AI dorm rooms 😅
100% agreed. You don't need the plagiarism machine to make good videos. Your videos were great already!
The white ford bronco at 7:45 actually made me bust out laughing. Nice touch
Well it's featured in another well known ahooter of that era so I thought why not 😜
Great demo tunes.
Great demo. But the timetravel .... right into the feels. Puts a big smile on my face.
David Bowie used the Cs1x live during the time of the Earthling album. Although the head of the childishly famous Bad Gear will put his negative stamp on this instrument, it remains a device that still has a lot to gain from it.
That's hot take on Bad Gear...🤔
All gear is Bad Gear if you're sarcastic enough.
I think you've misunderstood Florian's tongue in cheek humour - if there's one thing his videos should impart, it's that even a lot of the most derided gear can make great music if the person using it has got the imagination.
I think an appearance on a Bad Gear episode makes gear just more well known, not more hated.. and if it's rare enough and only available on the second hand market, prices more likely go up because of risen interest. If there's something bad to say about those instruments, it's usually alkready stated out multiple times in multiple sources. If something, Bad Gear points out the bright sides of those instruments, Florian makes great use of every instrument in his demos.
Man you and many others have put too much stock in to the shows name. If you watch the videos he almost never trashes the gear.
The CS1X shares the same 4Mb XG soundset as in most PSR keyboards plus additional waves. The sound quality is not better than the thin sounding PSR keyboards.
Back, when Florian Pilz had hair... 🧐
Someone caught the easter egg 😁👍
Εven now after all these years it still gives me something special in my sound. Many thanks for sharing this great video !! 👌✨
Glad you enjoy it, somehow it's instant 90s in the (blue) box
Great video. Well done. You deserve 10 times more views. Great content. Like your channel. Thank you for all the time & effort, videos like these take hours to make and edit. People do not realise the countless hours it takes. And very impressed also as English is not your first language. I have a Crave. I think the Oscillator sounds superb. Very sweet. Very much like my Moog Prodigy or my SC Pro One. Very musical. Behringer also put a sweet Oscillator in the TD-3 which can really kick out some proper low end. I wish Behringer made a 2 x VCO version of this without the patchbay or even the sequencer. I guess the closest to that would be the Model D or Neutron, the CAT or the Pro 1. I have the Pro 800. I don’t like it much, probably because I find it laggy and don’t really like the user interface. DT from London.
Thanks for the praise! If you are looking for more Oscillators luckily most Behrringer gear is even cheaper second hand, so why not buy another crave or td3- these have become dirt cheap second hand 😁 The neutron comes with dual oscs, so you might want to check it (and my video about it) out too 😉
TEAM 909!!!!
Just what I was looking for. Have you tried saving into the HFE images? According to some forums, this is the trickier part.
No, never really figured out how it's done, would sure amke things a lot easier
BAD GEAR ARE YOU???
Got a few Behringer guitar pedals, but I love my Ms-1 and Poly D. Only Korg has made things that cool affordable to me.
Can you play the waves backward?
Yes you can, sounds 117 to 185 are reversed waveforms
Is it possible to use the ensemble effect on an external source?
I guess it could be easily modded to do so, but no - not from a stock unit
My FZ-1 was working fine until i forgot to switch it off, the next day I came back and start sampling and whatever i recorded into it had a lot of hiss like cassette tape, something must have overheated due to being switched on for too long, any ideas?
😑 When the patch demos get to "Brass", but the sounds are classed as "Fart" instead - never change, Germany... never change.
6:45 set it OFF!!! Guessing there's no whistle? 👍😎
Geil, die Schlagzeuger🤣
