@williamshaneblyth Год назад

I played back then with the 60 it was all you need onstage. Using a mouse will never work for me the controls where awesome to articulate sounds, the organ style levers where brilliant as the ribbon and aftertouch where also. I could manipulate a lot with 1 hand while playing using the aftertouch and other controls I just loved the ribbon control. I've looked for decent controllers but they don't cut it unfortunately. It was a very organic experience.

OK, I owned a CS80 from the mid-80s to the mid-90s when I was forced to sell it, so I'm in love with this VST! So it's a pity that my elderly PC isn't quite up to running it (although I'll try the demo to make sure). Fortunately, I should be getting a new PC in the early spring. BTW, FUNKY 1 and FUNKY 2 fed through the ring modulator, plus generous use of the ribbon, gives you the sting from the 80s version of the Doctor Who theme.

@@MrJC1 The GX-80 does not alias at all so there is absolutely nothing to be gained by oversampling. You should run the GX-80 at the native sampling rate of your project. Oversampling implies subsequent downsampling back to your project's rate. These steps can often cause more problems than they solve. The oversampling buttons are not quality settings.

@earlsfield Год назад

This and SINES (and sometimes Dreamsynth) are now my go to polys all for less than the price of other VSTs! I was on the cusp of getting a hardware poly, but honestly these scratch the itch for me. Lucky too - I've been saving for a DDMK2 for a while. The Arturia plugin didn't do it for me, but this certainly does for me so far.

@BarryWarne Год назад

16:40 playing the CS-80 just after switching it on was always disappointing. It sounded thin, uninspiring. Quickly however, setting up dynamic playing on the keyboard - using all the master, global controls and really digging in with your hands on the keyboard ~ made all the difference. The dynamic, vibrant "sound" of the CS-80 always came from the user-interface, the keyboard, the velocity, the aftertouch and all the interrelated global controls. The dynamic vibrancy always came from the musician, the player, the human. Took me ages to realize that CS-80s do not have pitch and mod wheels. But you don't miss them at all because of all the other expressive options. The CS-80 is also an Electone after all and that means there's some covert organ tricks to playing that instrument. So nice to finally have all that expansive Yamaha sound palette from the GX-1 and through the E-70 and the CS-80 . . . so much to love with this GX-80 and most especially the glorious aftertouch capability.

@CliffMcAulay Год назад

@BarryWarne Год назад

Another thing that (I think) I am hearing with the GX-80 sounds is that aspect still making the CS-80 unique: slight variances in oscillator pitch or LFO rates between voices. Out of the 8 voices played, at least one voice is out of tune compared to the others. Slightly different envelope attack, different pitch attack, different LFO rate or depth. Something which somehow worked well on the CS-80 (and the GX-1). It seems like the programmers have gotten that as part of this instrument.

A little fun fact about the sideways modulating. This is still available if you buy a Yamaha Electone (only sold in South Acia today) The top manual have sideways modulation of filter and pitch for creating natural sounding vibrato. It's propably expensive to implement but why oh why have Yamaha never put this into a modern Synthesizer. I wasn't aware of the Roli keyboard had this. Even the GX-1 was generally a Preset instrument, IIRC it still had a Shelf hidden under the lower manual where you could access most of the synth parameters. The most fantastic about the GX-1 was that for an analog Polysynth of 1975 it has some remarkable good impressions of both real woodwinds and stringed instruments. The closest I have gotten to this marvel of an electronic Instrument was as a local contender in the Yamaha Electone Festival in the late 70's, we all got a record with the past years Finalists in Japan all performing their music on the GX-1. There isn't anything in the world that rivals this instrument. Absolutely amazing. This is an absolute "Must have" as ever seeing one of these for real, yet to get playing it will only happen if you visit the Yamaha Museum

@celebutante Год назад

There was a separate programmer box that had all the analog synth parameters - this was used with yet another box to program sound cartridges, which had a bunch of tiny trim pots. The procedure for getting them set up was downright comical . Re the side-to-side keyb mod, I believe the Yamaha YC-45D organ had it too.

@mrdali67 Год назад

@@celebutante Yamaha also used this on later Electones. I purchased an FS70 which was the top spinet version of the FS/FX series had a shelf for setting the flute section.

Although a bit over-satisfied with the number of soft-remakes, it's refereshing to have someone take a good look at the GX1 and not just the CS80 ! Not waiting till the end of the video (and also managing my time a bit here, will watch the rest later), but have a question : Why did they include a resonant HP filter (on square and sawtooth waves) with frequencies going far above the hearing limit ? Maybe it's just to be "fateful" to the original, but unless there's a very good reason for it, I would prefer to have them use the bottom half of the slider to narrow down on anything below e.g. 800hz, and the top half for anything above ...

Why would you even want to do that? Comparisons are only valid between the software and the hardware. Nothing else matters. Would you compare your Mona Lisa forgery against another forgery to tell which is better?

@mrbmodules2938 Год назад

@@kristianborisov5928 I sincerely hope not. I say this because almost all those videos are very poorly done. To compare a good clone to the hardware is extremely difficult and time consuming. The patches have to be dialed in to be exactly the same, and I mean exactly exactly. This easily takes 10 to 20 minutes per patch and no one ever takes the time to do that. However, this is something we do during development and is a very necessary step to make sure that we are getting everything right. We find comments like "That doesn't sound like the hardware." to be patently absurd. We don't release anything until it absolutely does. Our standards are extraordinarily high. Now that doesn't mean that you won't find someone else's clone more appealing. I like to say that we are all painting a picture of a vase of flowers. When you walk into the room, you will see two paintings. The one you like the best and the one that most resembles the flowers. These are very often two different paintings.

@@mrbmodules2938 I completely understand what you mean, but wouldn't it be of a great marketing value, if you have made that video during the development process, from your own comparison - that is what I meant by asking for such a comparison? Otherwise, I agree there might be incorrect comparisons, but also there are highly dedicated youtubers like Starsky Carr, who make very detailed comparisons, and I would trust them. And also to the question from your first reply - an ideal comparison would present all "counterfeits" against the original - that's how a person like me, who already has bought in the past the two other available "counterfeits", will be able to make an informed decision first whether to invest more money in one more emulation, and second - even if invest in one more emulation, which one to use, after owning all of them. It is simple as that, no offense to anyone, and no need for confronting attitude. By the way I already own Dreamsynth and just bought Mercury 4, because I was blown away by its demos. Wish I could do the same with GX-80, but still listening.

@@kristianborisov5928 I am not trying to be confrontational in the least. I'm just trying to be honest and state facts as I see them. In the end, your choice might not be the one that is the most accurate to the hardware unless that is very important to you. It should be the one that you like the best and has features you will use. In the end, your listeners really don't care if the synth you used was hardware or software or if the software one sounded just like a hardware one. It's all about the music you make and which synth inspires you the most. We tried to make GX-80 different enough from the other CS-80 emulations so as to set it apart, and in that I think we succeeded. Please take your time and do your evaluation. Whatever decision you make will be the right one because it's all about your personal taste.

I know ('cos I've looked) that controllers with poly after touch are really rare. Do you "happen" to have a list of them?

Probably not a complete list, but these come to mind, in a variety of prices and features. Some pad-based controllers (or keyboard controllers with pads, like Novation’s SL MkIII) have poly AT through the pads. Some of these are complete synths with poly AT keys that also transmit the signals. Roli Lumi and Rise, CME Keys, most (all?) Keith McMillen controllers, ASM Hydrasynths (synths can be used as controllers), Kurzweil Midiboard, MPC gear, Expressive E Osmose, Linnstrument, vintage Ensoniqs (SQ80 VFX), Arturia Microfreak, Mellotron 4000D, Novation Launchpad Pro and X and SL MkIII as above), Waldorf Iridium keys, Ableton Push 2. Others may be able to chime in with those we missed. The key thing to look for is absolute clarity that the instrument/controller has “polyphonic aftertouch” (not just mono or channel aftertouch), that it transmits it, and that it’s not just a synthesizer that says it supports polyphonic aftertouch just because it receives it (but doesn’t have keys that support it).
