Casio MT-100 - classic Casiotone with graphic equalizer
Просмотров 4 тыс.7 месяцев назад
The Casiotone MT-100 (1985) uses the classic early 80s vowel-consonant synthesis used in the MT-400V, but instead of a low-pass filter, it adds a 5-band graphic equalizer. I used the graphic EQ on most of the sounds, including the drums. It’s good for getting some extra brightness and clarity in sounds that have a lot of mid-range frequencies by default. The EQ bands start with 350Hz, so unfort...

The Yamaha PSS-11 is a small keyboard from 1992 with an AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generator, as Yamaha tried to put more realistic sounds based on samples into their home keyboard range, seen as a step up from the FM sound chips that had dominated the PSS range in the second half of the 90s. The PSS-11 has only 39 basic sounds, including percussion. The rest of the 100 voices on offer are...

The JU-06A is a Boutique series recreation of the Juno 106 and 60 models in one tiny digital box. Packs a great sounding punch for a battery operated, mini-speaker-toting module. The Juno chorus is a classic sought-after sound in itself, which really adds thickness, width and life to the single oscillator sound of the Juno.

    I would like to ask 2 questions, if somebody would like to answer owning a ps 380. 1st, a minor problem with mine. I have bought 2. The both have a an echo, pretty quietly on the sound. I assume this is normal, but is it and Can it be fixed, sonthere's no sound following the intended sound. 2 is there a midi in mod for this thing? And maybe a modulation mod with more steps and a second voice modulation option?

    Just found one of these in my in-laws basement, sounds kinda rough but some of the preset drum patterns are funky as hell and while those are going you can flip the chord switch on and it sorta does an arpeggio with them, gets weird quick.

    The best demo of this keyboard, and very inspiring. If I'm not mistaken you didn't use the Y organ. It is very similar to the V imo, just with a softer attack. I really like how you built your A sound, almost like an analogue saw patch

    • @alfonsemusic
      @alfonsemusic 7 дней назад

      True, Y and V are fairly similar, so I didn't find space in this tune for both. I also liked how fat the A sounded with some distortion and the right blend of harmonics. Thanks for listening.

      All sounds are from the module including drums, but multitracked in a DAW. It is multitimbral. Needs some menu diving to program, but not the worst experience. Has some great late 80s / early 90s sounds.

  • @MegaBajak

    This was my first „gear“, when I was a kid. Really getting emotional😅 I can remember, that I played late into the night until I fell asleep on the keyboard, only to get right back to it the next morning. Thank you for this trip back to my childhood. The funny thing about this synth is, that you can move the sliders up and down and get always different results, so I documented the steps I made, sometimes about 20 steps to reproduce good sounds.

  • @GeertDeBleye
    @GeertDeBleye 23 дня назад

    Again ... Love this one. Reminds me of my childhood and also Leftfield... Does this one have portamento? I have the 470 and the 580, but some of these sounds are impossible to program on them, which leaves me in frustration. the sounds you made on this thing are amazing. If i am wrong and all these sounds are programmable on the 470 and 580, i would love to know how

    • @alfonsemusic
      @alfonsemusic 20 дней назад

      Thanks. It's a great sounding keyboard and an advancement of the FM capability from the 580 (which was an advancement from the 470), so in general the sounds aren't reproducible (depends on the exact sound and how close you want to get, but as a rule I'd say not). There's no portamento on the 380.

    Bought one of these recently and fixed/cleaned it up; what a tank, this thing is big lol. I love it, the eight voices of polyphony is a treat and with the EQ + Sustain or "Reverb" you can get some wild pads out of it. I personally love warping the sounds of the Trumpet, Accordian, and Celesta with the EQ, and putting this bad boy through a delay or two is a delight. Chord mode is fun too, and the cheesy drums are surprisingly versatile. A great old Casiotone, maybe one of the best.

    Amazing demonstration! I love your playing and song. Two questions before I buy it: 1. Excuse my ignorance but can I simply connect this to my macbook and use it as a midi keyboard? 2. At 1 minute and 17 seconds it sounds like you are bending a note. How did you do that? Please share your black magic with us. Again, thanks for sharing your talent and creativity! What you are doing is really inspiring.

    • @alfonsemusic
      @alfonsemusic Месяц назад

      Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. 1. Yes, it has a USB port, so you can connect via USB and play midi instruments, or if you have midi ports on an audio interface you can use classic MIDI DIN cables. 2. I'm using the onboard delay on that lead sound. When you change the length of the delay while playing, the repeated note is stretched to fit the longer or shorter time interval and the pitch gets bent down or up as a result. You can see me doing it again at 1:26

      I use Logic Pro on a Mac to record the various parts and build up the song. Cubase, Ableton, Reaper, Studio One, Pro Tools, Tracktion Waveform, GarageBand or Acoustica Mixcraft would all work too. If you're trying to avoid screens, I guess a digital multitrack recorder could work better for you? Zoom or Tascam make a few options. They will have more hands-on controls, but I don't know whether having to look at the small LCD screen on one of those would be more or less suitable.
