A bit of time travel via the Korg M3, an homage to the master builders of the Middle Ages and not only...

Inspired by the style of sacred and secular late Medieval and Renaissance music, with my photography used for the video:

73-key KORG M3 XPanded sampler workstation + RADIAS and 256MB RAM extension boards - a hard decision, but the Kronos gradually took its place as main workstation. The whole RADIAS virtual analogue synth engine + vocoder is on an extension board that completely integrates into the M3 user interface ...

On the side, have you checked how is the samplerobot loop creation? they claim it does autoloops, but whilst I was considerin buying it, I suspect it may do a terrible job in figuring out (especially for evolving and fluctuating patches) where to put loop points. Whenever I tried with my human ...

Only a few of the 12 are factory patches. Patch 26 and 42 from this clip is included: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2OQegZxWDg Patch 51 and 78 from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wULEiMJ4o8s The full list is ...

My FS1R is still a phenomenally unique FM monster after so many years. With some of my favourite patches (some user programs and some of my own creations), decided to make a sample bank + 12 Kronos user programs. Big disclaimer: these are some of my most used FS1R patches for the things I did on my ...

Thank you, I hope to have time (and ideas) to do some more of these.

Medieval rare woodwind instruments morphing into each other or acquiring attack sections from ancient plucked instruments? Ancient nyckelharpa, lionharp or Hackrett sliced with granular effects and floating in vast, impossible acoustic spaces? Wave sequencing on sounds that date back to the 13th ...

Thank you, much appreciated! Some I tried to re-create from M3 and my old trusted N5, the original ones are admittedly along the ambient / atmospheric line so hopefully some useful pads and ambiences. Enjoy!

Since there are numerous fixes documented by Korg, and even if not directly affected by them, as a SW guy would personally suggest to always get the latest available OS version unless there are documented update issues. Note that this 3.1.3 update also comes with a firmware update to be done ...

Collated one free and 2 premium custom sound banks for Kronos, the latter 2 have free subsets of programs that can be downloaded: - Medieval and Renaissance instruments (with sample bank) - FREE - EXiSphere - a set of 32 custom programs using mostly STR-1 engine and others, for ambient-like and ...

Hi, I collated the so far created program banks on the following site, 3rd bank, which will be an HD-1 bank, is coming soon. http://kronossounds.wordpress.com The Early Muse and the free taster of some non-typical STR-1 engine sounds have been posted earlier here, now full EXiSphere bank is ...

Thanks, I didn't use any filters only some reverb, so that everything that happens to the original sample's sound is caused by just the string - as I didn't want to 'cheat' or alter the sound starting from the drum. So yes, the excitation filter could change it radically, in this case the noisy drum ...

Short video follow-up to my previous longer clip on atypical uses of STR-1 engine.

This time not spacey atmospheres, but what happens when one uses drum samples as pluck source:

I added a shorter quick video about things as bizarre as using drum samples for plucking

Thanks indeed it can have some surprising results when pumping samples through the engine as exciter for the string.
