For those interested in these types of sounds that can't track down a Suiko, I recommend looking into a Roland JV-1080/2080 loaded with the Asia expansion card. It was manufactured in the early 90's as well and is great for cinematic stuff
Worth noting that Roland's subscription service has an absolutely accurate recreation of the 1080/2080 as VST. Only distinguishable by how much cleaner it sounds.
@@GavinMorris1 I prefer the hardware variations. Sound wise and tonality. Perhaps my ears are just imagining things. Though perhaps this is all imagination, and thus sensory organs vary per individual discretion and bias. To each their own.
I believe the bottom notes of the synth are in the Hira-joshi scale; one of the minor pentatonic scales used in Japanese music. This is the most common scale used for tuning the Koto, which is the stringed instrument this synth is supposed to sound like.
Not that you need it, but if it helps, the keys are marked in the ‘do re mi’ style, using the ‘katakana’ alphabet. ド (do) レ (re) ミ (mi) ファ (fa) ソ (so) ラ (ra) シ (ti) ド (do) Cheers
KONNICHIWA HAINBACH-SAN. There is always a surprise in your video. You can hear very beautiful noises, music and groove from musical instruments and things like oscillator that I don't know if they are musical instruments. I am a Japanese composer. Through this video, I realized the goodness of Japan that we usually don't notice. I'm looking forward to your video in the future. Thank you very much.
You asked for it: : Choir, Synth and Koto single notes, western and japanese tuning, recorded to a high end Telefunken M15 reel to reel and RME interfaces, now on patreon.com/hainbach. Drums too, of course.
Wow. That sounds amazing. It’s a shame they didn’t market it worldwide. That could have changed the direction of music in a lot of genres. I’d culturally appropriate the hell out of that. Thanks for another great video.
@@user-lt2rw5nr9s It is not just possible but easy to use elements of music traditions in offensive ways, whether that be just by making a crude pastiche or removing religious music from a religious context. Reductive representations of music cultures are at their best annoying and their worst offensive. This isn't to say that it can't be an exchange of ideas because it absolutely can. It's just not always harmless.
@@Axel_Stewart Well who decides if it's offensive? Can't I call everyone outside Europe offensive for using Western music scales? Can't I call everyone who makes Jazz music in Japan offensive? What about Nazi Germany declaring Jewish composers offensive? Or during China's cultural revolution when they oulawed Western music? Or the time the Church banned the tritone? Let all music exist, and those who want to consume it, consume it. Those who don't, don't have to. Is removing religion any different than taking the lush chords of Gospel and putting it into RnB, outside their religious context? Who cares anyway? If you don't like it, don't listen to it, moral authoritarian. Annoying to whom? To you? Isn't there going to be at least one person who finds your music annoying? Just because it's annoying someone or offending someone are you going to stop? They can just stop listening. Way too often people speak on behalf of other people to call things offensive. If it doesn't offend you personally, don't bother bringing it up. If it does, I probably couldn't care less. Just stop listening.
@@user-lt2rw5nr9s Continuing the argument to absurdity or comparing me to authoritarians isn't useful. Music has great cultural power and that power must be wielded with care. However convenient it is to believe that you are not responsible for the effects of your actions it is ultimately an act of willful ignorance. Generally the people who "get to decide if it's offensive" are the people whose musical culture is being referenced, and you don't get to decide that they are not offended because it's a personal response. The only ethical way to conduct yourself is to attempt to minimize harm.
The white letters written in the center are the timbres written in the upper left half, and the vertical letters in the lower are from the left, koto, 17 strings, old Chinese koto, suiko, chime, metallophone, shakuhachi, Shinobue, Nohkan, Sho, Kokyu, Oboe, Strings, Horn, Chorus, Percussion instrument. Next, on the upper right half, the horizontal letters are written as the keyboard. From the left, the vertical letters below are large drum, drumming, tightening drum 1, bell, tightening drum 2, clapping tree, drum, hook, small drum, bell, timpani 1, kihada, timpani 2, gong, timpani 3. This instrument is a modern practice machine of the Shigin, which was made to add a unique clause when reading Chinese poetry in some private schools and clan schools in the late Edo period.
Lovely sounds. The kanji they use for Sui 水 and ko 光 actually mean water and light. Which I’m guessing characterises many of the sounds here, especially the strings.
I've assumed at some point if I watch the channel enough I'll start hearing his samples that people bought from him in music that's not on the channel, in the wild, and with the quality and uniqueness of fingerprint of them I'd expect to identify a LOT of them lol
The keys are actually labeled with the french music scale (do re mi fa sol la si do) just in katakana (ド レ ミ ファ ソ ラ シ ド). The sharp and flat are annotated next to it. Hope this helps!
My wife is from Japan, next time I’m there I will look out for one of these. They have lots of great second hand stores. I love those 7th pad sounds. So many classic sounds you still hear on tv over there.
About the notes on the keyboard, they are labeled in Solfege. It looks like the top row repeats {Fa-#, Sol, Ti-b (flat), Do-#, Re} 3 times from left to right. The bottom row repeats {Mi, Fa, La, Ti, Do} 3 times from left to right. I guess that would make the top row {F#, G, Bb, C#, D}x3 and the bottom row {E, F, A, B, C}x3. By the way, not sure if you already knew this, but the button you used to turn on the "beautifully weird chorus" is labelled "Vibrato" and the two sliders next to the display are Vibrato Speed (top) and Vibrato Depth (bottom).
Finally, a synthesizer with an Eastern Scale ! This is such a lovely sounding instrument. It's even got percussion with Japanese Taiko Drums, stringed instruments and choral singing ~You are a very lucky person to have found this wonderful Eastern Synthesizer, now I'm on the lookout for one. Drink some real / herbal Chamomile Tea with a bit of honey in it to help your throat and your voice. Always works....it's an old Greek remedy ~⛅🌟
Even a piano has the exact notes this synth is tuned to. It's just fun to play on something that can play *only* one scale, as you can't really go wrong. If you have a DAW that can auto-correct to a particular scale you can do the same thing on your computer. It's really fun to bash the keys and play something in Japanese, Arabic, Pentatonic scales even with very little musical knowledge.
This was brilliant. Fantastic sounds, so flawed but they connect with you so immediately. Thanks for the intro to this, again, I'd never heard of it which is always the joy of this channel. :)
I took one look at the thumbnail and thought "eugh, this is gonna sound cheesy" and no it doesn't at all. I love its clean sound of those traditional japanese taiko drums and their other instruments, plus the strings are gorgeous. It sounds far better than it looks. What's the polyphony of it?
I performed with a taiko group for a couple of years, so I have a more critical ear where it comes to taiko samples. I would categorize this one as "not terrible, considering" -- good for reverby ambient/cinematic booms, but I probably wouldn't try to use it for taiko pieces as such.
Taiko drums are killer but some of the synth tones are so very Detroit while sounding so Japanese. Would love a clone version or just a complete sample pack for this in say a Volca sample library.
This was absolutely beautiful. The end piece reminded me of the movie Stalker by Tarkovsky. Thank you so much for doing and sharing your work and passion!
Strange key layout. Luckily they printed the European note names (do, re, mi, fa etc) instead of the more traditional i, ro, ha, ni, ho, he, to (iroha) system, making it a bit easier - once you learn how to read the characters. Funny story: the iroha system is based on a 1000 year old Japanese poem that uses each syllabic character only once, and thus it also became the order of the "alphabet" for listing purposes. In Japanese, when you want to tell someone to learn their ABC's, you say learn their "iroha", which can thus also translate as "the basics".
you know what else is interesting? do-re-mi was invented nearly same way: gregorian monks had a latin chant, and each line began with a different syllable, and on a different note in the scale.
@@hakonsoreide i love things like that! convergent evolution things. like the japanese have an identical saying (in spirit, at least) to "too many cooks will spoil the broth." it's "too many captains will steer the ship up a mountain"
Discovered channel today. I know nothing about synthesizers, but this was captivating - I couldn't my eyes or ears away. I have so many questions now. Good job man.
to me it looks like a piece of art... such a beautiful synth... if it also does music - it’s a win 🥰 Edit: now, after the premiere, I have to say that this thing is amazing! And I love to watch you playing it 💪🏻👍🏻
@@iamdavezero I never have either plus I haven't actually downloaded yet I'm afraid of the exact same thing LOL I message heinbach on patreon with that question awaiting his reply I don't want to squander my 1 download if that's how it works
The sounds, while good enough on their own. I'd bet you could really get some even more sweet sounds from them with all the pedals and filters you have in your studio. How about "Hainbach's Suite for Suiko".
It's the Hira-joshi scale, which is one of the pentatonic scales in Japanese music. The bottom keys of this synth are supposed to sound like a Koto tuned to that scale.
I LOVE your 'avatar' pic, GNU_Ninja. I wouldn't dare to imagine the sound that dumbbell handle would make as it's dragged across her teeth!? I still haven't found the sequel to that one, BodyHammer!? I'll always be on the lookout though. The third one has something about it that I found a little reminiscent of the old HBO series "Freddy's Nightmares", or the "Tales From The Crypt" show. Good to know there's folks out there who appreciate edgy sci fi horror! Chu Ishikawa's sound track is inseparable from the film, I'm sad he passed on a lot sooner than I would have liked to imagine but he has left a pretty substantial mark that won't be erased.
i've always wondered how this sounded. and yeah this "round robin" on the same key is so important. took a while for people at elektron to get it right in the latest update for digitone.
@@raedius_music no you're right,it's not called round robin in synths, but similar. if same note is pressed twice the second cuts the first one, really anoying if it's something you don't want to happen. boutique ju-06 have same problem. real juno-106 did just go on to next free voice card if you pressed twice or more, i haven't tried latest ju-06a if roland fixed this, but i think they did not.
Since this is so hard to get, a Sample Instrument like you did with Spitfire would be just fantastic. Specially the Choir and String Sounds are just gourgous and wonderful
ビブラート速さ：vibrato speed ビブラート深さ：vibrato depth notes (left to right): ミ(mi/E) ファ＃(fi/F#) ファ(fa/F) ソ(sol/G) ラ(la/A) シb(te/Bb) シ(ti/B) ド＃(di/C#) ド(do/C) レ(re/D) etc. You should patrol Yahoo Auction and Mercari for the manual. I think I've spotted some before around ¥17,000. Awesome video by the way!
Noooo! How dare u do a video on that. I wanted to buy it just before ur vid and now the prices will skyrocket. I'm so mad. Other than that great video and this instrument is truely stunning
This would be awesome for Dungeon Synth! The sounds are really beautiful. One push of a button already sounds like a movie soundtrack. I keep telling my wife that the last thing I buy will be THE last thing I buy, but this is something worth tracking down.
There is memory built in for one song/performance! If you press the card writing button and the memory play back button (red and green) at the same time you can record a performance. The end button, second from right, not the stop button will end the recording, and then the playback (green).
Try asking for access to the Roland library. Really you only need a Roland Sampler and then you can get access to the whole library by going to one of their HQ's They have a massive selection of ethnic instruments sampled by in house professionals.
The Suiko ST-50 is an unusual machine, but it is by no means the rarest Japanese synthesizer. That award probably goes to the Yamaha VP-1, of which only 8 are known to exist.
I've gotta say, that company must have some top notch customer service - considering they were willing to reply telling you at least a little bit about something so old nobody from back then even still works there! lol
Hainbach is the Bob Ross of synthesizers. Having him read me bedtime stories about synthesizers would be amazing.
For those interested in these types of sounds that can't track down a Suiko, I recommend looking into a Roland JV-1080/2080 loaded with the Asia expansion card. It was manufactured in the early 90's as well and is great for cinematic stuff

The "Hi i'm Hainbach" in Japanese made me fall on the like button =$
I'm not Japanese but that synth surely speaks Japanese... at least sound-wise. What a cool instrument.
Confirmed: Hainbach hasn't forgot about Dre.
Why isn't this the top comment?

@@ChrisLeeW00 Or Dre-Sensei as "Sensei" is the honorific for Doctor (amongst other things) - which is still pretty funny imo

Okay I am not the only one who thought he was talking about kmac2021 AKA Kmachiavelli AKA Djent King AKA Kmeme
Wow... some of the presents sound lovely...!
"I don't know what genre of synthwave that is" - to me this sounds like a perfect dreampunk track
ビブラート速さ：vibrato speed ビブラート深さ：vibrato depth
notes (left to right): ミ(mi/E) ファ＃(fi/F#) ファ(fa/F) ソ(sol/G) ラ(la/A) シb(te/Bb) シ(ti/B) ド＃(di/C#) ド(do/C) レ(re/D) etc.
You should patrol Yahoo Auction and Mercari for the manual. I think I've spotted some before around ¥17,000. Awesome video by the way!
Noooo! How dare u do a video on that. I wanted to buy it just before ur vid and now the prices will skyrocket. I'm so mad. Other than that great video and this instrument is truely stunning
This would be awesome for Dungeon Synth! The sounds are really beautiful. One push of a button already sounds like a movie soundtrack. I keep telling my wife that the last thing I buy will be THE last thing I buy, but this is something worth tracking down.
16:10 feels like a distopian-ish styled music
Those are some interesting sounds.
Could we have a 'best-of' set of voice samples from it also? Pleeeeease?
He says at the end that patreon supporters can get the samples :)
Patrons get the drums treated on tape, and I might do more, depending if Suiko is fine with that. I don’t want to disrespect them.
@@Hainbach give ya a tenner
Thats just cool. Thanks Hainbach.
Some of the sounds remind me of the Casio VL-1. :)
Edit: Also quite a Vangelis feel to it.
There is memory built in for one song/performance! If you press the card writing button and the memory play back button (red and green) at the same time you can record a performance. The end button, second from right, not the stop button will end the recording, and then the playback (green).
14:35
Selected Ambient Works Volume 2 part 2
the track you made at the end sounded amazing
sounds like an inception of freshly baked witchhouse track
Yeeeee
@@Ian-lb6lc - Ooooohhh... There HAS TO BEEN one now.
My diseased soul will stay INCOMPLETE until it arrives!
Holy shit, I wasn't ready for this, amazing video
looks so organic and minimal, guess the sound should be pretty much the same
i could listen to this little gem all day
You do realise you multiply the price of these things whenever you mention them.
Hainbach, it's good to be back
Any possibility of a sample pack? I’d assume all of us would pay tons.
I keep coming back for the track
Wouldn't be suprised if all the Age Of Empires soundtracks were made with this thing. It sounds incredible!
I used to love that game
Along with command and conquer and Warcraft
Ululu
Great demo. You are a treasure sir!
is there a way I can have the samples and some more in depth stuff so I can try to clone it with pure data to make a K O T O W A V E machine
GODSPEED BROTHER
godspeed
Try asking for access to the Roland library.
Really you only need a Roland Sampler and then you can get access to the whole library by going to one of their HQ's
They have a massive selection of ethnic instruments sampled by in house professionals.
@@DirtyRobot cant tell if that's sarcastic or not either way that's a thing?
PLZZZZZ YES
Hainbach! Thank you. Sugoii
The Suiko ST-50 is an unusual machine, but it is by no means the rarest Japanese synthesizer. That award probably goes to the Yamaha VP-1, of which only 8 are known to exist.
Thank you Hainbach
,, beautiful sounds..
Sounds like "Ghost In The Shell" soundtrack :)
This was my thought too, which is an extremely good thing.
I've gotta say, that company must have some top notch customer service - considering they were willing to reply telling you at least a little bit about something so old nobody from back then even still works there! lol
