Members shaft9000 Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 I want to see a video like this: "This knob here is what we here in the synthamasizer community call the modulator - it modularizes the oscillations of the cutoff filter." Aaaah-hilp!hilp! Wuuuuuun thupe-errr, uhh..... uhh...... DUPE - errrrrrrrrr Ehhhh-djuh-djuh-djuh 'djuh - - - KAY shunnelllll vID-eeeee-ooooooohhc' c' c' cummmmin' UP please do try not to hold me to it, James. I aim high.... Or is it, i AM high - i forget those sorts of things sometimes, being out here in AZ and all. - btw nice mini/p8 combo there! -------------i'm still leaning to the PEK although the arp would be nice to have. The straight analog character of the p8 has its charms, though. Jeeesus, does this mean i have to get 'em both now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricPuppy Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yes, this is all very pleasant, but it's been several hours since I've demanded some fresh demos. Carbon apparently thinks my directives are nothing more than some frivolous nonsense... There WILL be demos or there will be retribution. *evil cackle* RETRIBUTION!!

Members vwizz Posted September 14, 2007 Members Share Posted September 14, 2007 Here is a little (basic) video of the Prophet '08, found on a french forum:http://fr.audiofanzine.com/videos/index,action,play,id_video,10.html I'd like to try one myself, I'm sure that it can produce a large variety of sounds...

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I hope that's not the best he could do or I'd say, go get your money back and get an MEK.Not a great example there.

Besides the piano and one arpeggio, what there was a keeper? There might have been one or two more but I'll have to watch it again.Your right that it depends on tastes, but you don't buy a polysynth for most of those sounds. That's why your Mono Boy.

Members vwizz Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 I still think a video is important. For me, the user interface is a very important part of a synth: is it easy to tweak it live? Are all the knobs at the right place, etc...For example, when I first saw the adds of the Little Phatty I was totally skeptical...and then the first videos I saw kind of changed my perspective..And then I tried one and I was totally convinced ;-)I don't really care about the sounds the guys are producing: if I a buy a synth, I'll build my own sounds eventually.Of course, some machines are more oriented towards sound design and some are more straightforward "out of the box" performance machines with classic standard sounds...What I want to feel is the overall impression and the sound potential of the thing.I couldn't care less what the guys play: usually not my kind of music anyway:)In any case, how the synth looks and its playability is fundamental for me. And on top of this there is the "inspiration" factor that you get from a nice beautiful design/layout..One great example: just try out the George Duke and David Benoit videos on the new Rhodes website: perfect video demo IMHO:cool:http://www.rhodespiano.com/Seeing them play is totally part of the show for me, that's why I love to be in live jazz sessions much more than I listen to jazz CD's V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DocT Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 I agree if the visuals contain additional information that emphasize the audio data. I miss that on most youtube videos. You usually see a hand straying over a UI without plan, turning knobs without knowing what will happen, eventually see a puzzled face wondering what to do next Goerge Duke and David Benoit (and forum meber keybwizard) have rehearsed a few years before they switched the camera on btw, I either have to get a turntable or some Gong CDs again...But of course you are right, live music is always a great experience. I enjoy nearly every kind of live music, even music that I won't ever listen to at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vwizz Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 By the way, the Jeff Lorber together with George Duke video is great too ;-)Now, THAT'S real polyphonic playing we have here Now I 'm starting to imagine a Prophet '08 on top of one of these beautiful new Rhodes V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mono boy Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 you don't buy a polysynth for most of those sounds. That's why your Mono Boy. true enough. I guess I just hate most of the noodly playing on many synth sound demos. Simple/usable phrases coupled with a sound that demonstates the synth's capabilities are what I'm after. This is why you are the KANG, Doc T(!). btw- despite it's 'confounding' many voices ()I actually do want a P8---badly---it would replace the church organ and the optigan in my basement.....or that's what I'm telling my sweetheart:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DocT Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 Sorry MusikB, I didn't want to say that you won't make a video.It was meant as a general statement that imho videos aren't suited to demonstrate sounds. Is : "One won't make a video to demonstrate sounds anyway" correct ? I fear I'll never learn that strange language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cran Leavis Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 aha - but perhaps somewhere in your unconscious there is still the desire to record a demo like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
