Blown Wide Open - Korg Drumlogue
It's time to get freaky with Korg's hybrid drum machine, and fully show off both the quirks, and the incredible potential of this one-of-a-kind instrument!
I even made perfect 32768-sample PCM loops and imported them into the FM engine ;)

    Such a cool sounding synth. Beautiful pads especially those saw driven ones. Which V-synth to buy though? They have several different versions from what I understand. Some of them even have a D50 engine onboard. Great overview and demo :).

    • @magicalsynthadventure3216
      @magicalsynthadventure3216 Před 26 dny

      Hi :) - the original Vsynth keyboard can add the D50 engine with a hard to find PC Card, and that’s the model I demo here. I don’t have the card but I sampled the raw PCMs of the D50 and imported them, to get half way haha. The rack, Vsynth XT has the D50 built in, but loses some controllers obv. Finally, the GT has double the power, and can layer more tones, but cannot add the D50 engine in any way. Of course, with the doubled power, those raw D50 PCMs could be combined with 2VA oscillators and a complete 4osc D50 could be mimicked anyway! Though you’d need to build the patches yourself!

    • @Screaming-Trees
      @Screaming-Trees Před 26 dny

      @@magicalsynthadventure3216 Let me just say it one more time for emphasis. Really great job on the demo and overview. Those patches sound fucking awesome. Really great job, again thanks. And informative. Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated. I think I'm sold on the one you got here in the video. They seem to be the most plentiful and cheapest anyway. I also like the idea of getting a genuine Roland Supersaw oscillator. I know a lot of software has kind of reverse engineered this already (And hardware) but that's the the OG and would be cool to have just for that. Without having to buy the JP8000 I mean. Which I guess is another classic so wouldn't be the end of the world having to buy that as well but it's nice that it's offered here as well. Nice complement. Again, thanks and keep up the great work.

    I now (only vaguely, in several cases) remember fiddling with a number of these softwares shown in this video way back in the day. Thanks for exercising my crusty old neurons to shake loose these memories! Unfortunately, none of my fumbling efforts led to anything, because I completely lack any and all musical talent. :P My one impression might be a couple Soundtracker sample discs I made sampling from a friend's brother's rather expensive and fancy MIDI synth module from back in the early '90s. I mailed copies of the instruments to some guy, but I don't know if they ever reached any wider distribution. Alas, my Amiga days ended back in '97, when my crusty old A500 was 10 years old and very behind the times, and I basically never looked back since. Not because I didn't want to - it all just hurt too much, after Commodore went bankrupt and all of that. :) (Yes, having been a huge fanboy of a dead system is painful...) I'm a PC guy now, but not because I like these soulless, awful machines. It is what it is...
