New teaser video from Yamaha – Reface Is Coming

June 20, 2015 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on New teaser video from Yamaha – Reface Is Coming 

Yamaha is teasing a new synth product. In this video a couple of musicians reveal what they think of it:

  • It’s reminiscent of ‘one of the main synthesizers in techno’;
  • It’s a keyboard synth that feels ‘like a piano player made the keys’;
  • The Yamaha Reface is ‘a new take on a classic concept’; and
  • It has some connection with the classic Yamaha CS synths of the 70s.

May 22, 2015 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Yamaha FS1r Synthesizer Demo Songs 

Factory demo songs from the Yamaha FS1r synthesizer recorded direct with no effects.

The FS1r is the most advanced FM synthesizer ever released by Yamaha. Not only does it exceed the capabilities of previous hardware by 2 operators with its 8-operator FM engine, it also includes formant synthesis, which can be use to create sounds much like the Human voice.

Though it was not well-regarded when it was launched, its unmatched hardware capabilities make it a very sought-after piece of equipment.

Song list:

1. Vokodrone (0:05)
2. FullTines (0:56)
3. Nebulous (1:14)
4. FatLine (2:05)

more info: http://www.retrosound.de/The_DX7.htm

About the Yamaha model:

The DX7, a classic FM synth, gets a make-over with three significant updates. The updated models feature a more sturdy chassis with actual push-buttons replacing the cheaper and less reliable membrane buttons of the original DX7. The two real time sliders (that allow for control of user-programmable parameters in real time) are larger than before. Internally, the biggest improvement is the updated 16-bit digital circuitry for cleaner and much less noisy sound quality. Patch memory has also been doubled from 32 to 64 voices. Additional general improvements include enhanced MIDI support, micro-tuning capabilities, aftertouch controlled pitch bending, and multiple LFOs.

CS15D – multi-sample Live Pack based on the vintage Yamaha CS-15D

February 7, 2015 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on CS15D – multi-sample Live Pack based on the vintage Yamaha CS-15D 

yamah-cs15d

Cluster Sound has released CS15D, a multi-sample Live Pack based on the vintage Yamaha CS-15D.

CS15D is an extensive multi-sample Live Pack reproducing the sound of the vintage Yamaha CS-15D, a great sounding monophonic analog synthesizer released in 1979.

Details:

  • THE SOURCE The CS-15D is a monophonic analog synth with loads of character, one of the most solid and warm single-VCO machine ever. The synth features 29 preset voices divided in two mixable channels, plus a manual section comprising a variable pulse-saw oscillator, a PW modulator, a noise generator and a 12db filter with a dedicated ADSR envelope.
  • BRILLIANT SOUNDS Despite referred to an array of realistic instrument names (Tuba, Oboe, Horn, Harpsi, Xilophone..) the 29 presets give a variety of synthetic sounds ranging from fat basses to solid percussive organs and warm brass strings. These sounds can be altered by the Brilliance slider which acts in several interesting ways depending on the selected preset.
  • THE PACK CS15D is based on 74 multi-sample recordings reproducing all the presets with different brilliance amounts, several variations of the VCF envelope and various manual oscillator settings (including a tuned noise). The Live Pack features 90 Instrument Racks with useful macro controls, including special Mixed Racks for easy drag ’n drop customization.

CS15D is available for 24.00 € at the Cluster Sound site.
