medusaland -

I have to say, this is really, really significant. In providing a selection of Grand Pianos, Fender Rhodes, CP70 and Wurlitzer; you are literally turning OASYS into a piano players dream machine. I hope you and Korg find a way to promote this heavily - there will be a lot of people drooling over OASYS with these features installed. Coupled to the on board grand piano and the CX-3 organ; its awesome.

Hi,

it is a Yamaha GS1 (first Yamaha FM Synth) and I sample a sound which are very popular in germany.

The sound is a fantastic FM Rhodes named Tänzerin

I've got a keyboard tutorial video from long ago (1990’s) it is called "The keyboards" presented by Jooles Holland, and performed by Matt Clifford (composer/arranger), He started off demonstrating Synthesis on the Mini moog, then went to the Prophet 5, and finally, his main instrument for the tutorial, a Korg M1, in which he said: “….and now, from the monophonic moog, to the 5 note polyphonic prophet 5, we come right up to date and in the 90’s with a Korg M1.

Later on in the video, under the title “classic rock sounds”, he demonstrated the Wurlitzer, Hohner clavinet, hamming organ, Strings, and Piano/E piano (they sounded great – and still do today) I actually brought a Korg M1 based on this Video (cost me £1200 – second hand)! Little did I know, that most, if not all of those sounds wasn’t coming from the Korg M1, but an AKAI Sampler he was using in the Background (S3000 I think). I was wondering were all these high-end sounds came from when I got my M1 home!.

Now, however, we have an instrument, in the Oasys, that does all the sounds mentioned above – and an an awful lot more. Thanks for getting these sounds on the OASYS KARO. With the great strings/Brass, and multitude of instruments available on this keyboard, we have some great tools at our disposal, and the only limit, is our own imagination*.
After watching this video BTW, I went all out looking for a Sampler – but in those days (1992 ish) they were many thousands of pounds (I’ve still got Sound on sound mag somewhere with one advertised – and that was MONO! (sorry for rambling on)

Holy Crap!

That's fantastic.

(yet another suggestion - I think there's an FM Flute on the GS1 used by TOTO and by Vangelis on (Jon&Vangelis - Private Collections) that is just about the most beautiful electronic flute sound ever (other than enigma flute). How's about another library for the OASYS that would perhaps attract attention - the entire GS1 library including that stunning flute!!).
Better still - contact Yamaha; ask them if they'll provide the FM Programming charts for the entire GS1 library and then program MOD-7!!!)

Not to sound disatisfied with what you've done so far - what you're currently doing is amazing.

This was something I was asking Kurt already some time ago. The GS-1 was used on sooo many records and has a very, very good and unique sound that no other FM synth really can do in the same quality! Ultravox' Billie Currie used it a lot on their first records. To my knowledge he was visiting Yamaha Europe to program them and store them on the magnetic cards. Thanks to Kurt to organise a GS-1 in working condition. Would be interested to know how many magnetic cards the owner has and if the collection is complete.

Programming those sounds on MOD-7 will not be easy! As the GS-1 had internal effects of which Yamaha's "Ensemble" is adding a lot. Yamaha's Ensemble did for example sound completely different to Roland's Dimension D... both are classics, the later also used on several Yamaha CP-70/80 recordings (for example Peter Gabriel). I know the suggestion will come that OASYS provides similar effects... yes, similar.... but the original is the original. Several people tried for example to re-program the sound of "Die Tänzerin" on different Yamaha FM keyboards and I heard some very good results... but not one was really close to the original.

good mornin olli,

EWBR wrote:Yes I remember the good old AKAI times. I used 3 S3200 with the full load of 32MB, FX extension cards and Kronauer SCSI extension with HDD´s. I spend tons of money and time for archiving sound. Now the days are gone, but we will bring it back.

.. yes, the 3k series was indeed good. therefore many people still prefer the mpc3k over its successors.
