i'm gonna be honest here and it may challenge the ideals of a lot of people....but listening to this synth, it's right up there with any of the high end flagship synths like the ModX and Montage...I mean it's prestine, sheen, crisp, lush, sharp, warm, fat, dynamic in sonic range, various in patch capability. Sheesh. I'm actually blown away.
Some very nice sounds on this video, it kinda surprised me because most videos on the DX are very jazzy and with full tines and bell like sounds which I really do love but the stuff you are playing in your video could well be used in films, the pads are great. I got mine just last week and it’s a learning curve for sure, the instruction manual I got was totally useless and a waste of paper in my opinion so I have come to the web to see what others are playing but your video has surprised me big time but as I already said I really do like it Many thanks Glen 🎹🥃👍
Great video on this amazing synth. Hard to believe how cheap you can pick these up for considering what they are capable of. I control mine with my Yamaha SY77 most of the time but even the stock keys are very nice for on the go jamming around the house.
It is especially on the.KORG OPSIX. One guy programmed an entire drum and bass track on a single patch on that amazing synth. And each of the 6 operators can be a different sound. It's next level.
I was thinking of getting the CS but watching this makes me think that this can do what the CS does and more. Are you playing only the synth clean with no after peddal effects connected?
No this can't do what the CS does. I've created an entire drum kit on the CS including an 808 cowbell and clave, rimshot etc. Try doing that on the DX. Plus you can't get that smooth liquid moog type bass. Like the one used on MJS Thriller on a DX. You can on the CS. Each have their strengths. But I will take the CS all day. It's basically a more compact Juno 106. But the DX is more like a DX11 than a DX7. Not a bad thing. But not on the same level as the CS. I will be uploading several demos of the CS in 2023. Keep an eye out for them. Then you will understand what I am saying. Nobody has yet shown the FULL potential of the REFACE CS like I'm about to.
@@888Winkler Yes sir check my channel from around mid January. And if you like any of the patches I'm using. I will share the settings with you. I'm gonna do 4 covers throughout 2023 YAZOO--DONT GO MJ--THRILLER HF--AXEL F MADONNA--INTO THE GROOVE. All made ENTIRELY with the CS including drums. As that's what I do. Some general patch tutorials and show how quickly you can go from one patch to another. So why I neither use software or worry about no onboard user memories. I can write down the settings for a new sound in less than a minute. Or take a screenshot. And it's always quality over quantity. I have some amazing patches already such as Metropolis and Space TWISTER and Dreampad. Gonna be a great year for the REFACE CS. I'm gonna raise more interest in this very underrated gem.
