    After when you posted this video, 2 years ago, you probably know what ENH means now lol. The Behringer Wasp has been for ages now been my GOTO for fat bass sounds. I have a Roland Jd-xi and love it as a Groovebox style synth (I have an MC-303 as well), I think everyone that agrees that has one realises that it lacks in Analogue capabilities.

    People commenting without considering the main difference between the two: one is sample-based, the other is an emulation. Comparing sounds head to head really only speaks to the ‘realness’ of the emulation. That said, even an actual ESQ-1 head to head with these samples won’t sound identical given the innate differences in everyone’s signal chain. Samples are typically recorded with a bunch of outboard gear to sweeten it up too.

    Great stuff. As in all old gear there is a lot of dust collecting in holes. Midi holes: Why is there no sound? Data holes: The data card has holes in it, so the receptor has sticks that protrude upwards, well, not under a cover, like in the DX7, but they tend to become "greasy" at least after not cleaning them up. Nobody cleans them up, when cleaning the rest of the visible machine. It was never an issue, until some nerd thought to buy very expensive cards.

    Big takeaway is that the og ESQ has more treble (drastically noticeable in the sync lead @ 14:32 MINI M). So I can either take this optimistically two ways. 1) the software plug leaves more room for highhats in the mix, OR # 2) just turn up the treble on the softsynth's EQ, pre-amp saturation modeling, or effects send. At the end of the day, it's the synth for me as I liked every single patch that you demonstrated for one reason or another. Thanks for this video! PS... I've officially acquired a taste for nyquist frequency scatter thanks to this demonstration. Sublime aliasing -- if that isn't an oxymoron to audiophiles. ( see 15:41 NOISTR )

    I am going to try that moving filter, beautiful. It took me a while, but it seems like to me that all the patches prior to the effects are operating on the sines prior to being generated. Like the whole thing is one complex generator, and the modules give you different ways to specify how the sounds get generated. For example, the filter doesn't generate a signal then filter the signal, it calculates the partials that would be removed prior to generating the sound and doesn't generate them in the first place. EG the filter is applied in the space of partials not on the generated signal.

  • @RunningonairMusic

    Yes, it's just a bunch of sine waves with different algorithms to change pitch and level. I've not used it for a while but it does have quite a distinctive sound.

    On my Kawaii K1 II, the lead weights on 3 of the black notes fell out. To repair, I had to open up the instrument, remove the keyboard, detach the electronic boards on the back of the physical keyboard, remove the neighboring white keys, and reglue the lead weights back in. I used Gorilla Glue. Then to be proactive, I added glue to all the lead weights of the white keys. And then fashioned a long nozzle out of a 1.5” plastic drinking straw (slitted then taped into a cone). Then glued (super glue) and taped the nozzle to a medical syringe, filled the syringe with Gorilla glue, then used the syringe & nozzle to dab globs of glue onto the weights of the black keys. This meant I did not have to remove all the black keys. Being a bit careless with the amount of glue, some got too much and I had to remove those keys to scrape off the excess glue. After the glue set overnight, I began to reassemble the keyboard. Unfortunately, it had sat disassembled for several years and I had either not taken photos, or had deleted them. This video gave me enough glimpses of the inside to make it possible to reassemble everything properly. I hope! I’ll update when I finally get it together & it works properly!

    Hey, would you be interested in knowing about ways to squeeze even more out of the SC-7? There's a few things that can be done with SysEx, like changing the reverb and chorus type, and enabling channel aftertouch, which lets you adjust the low-pass-filter cutoff. I ended up creating my own tool to help me with this. Thanks for your videos, by the way; they were quite useful and helped convince me to go ahead with buying an SC-7, which I've had a lot of fun with!

  • @RunningonairMusic

    Yes, I was able to do a little bit of that stuff but I'm not a coder so it started to get too difficult. I guess what it really needs is an editor or control panel. I recently upgraded to the SC55 which resolved all of those issues but It's good to hear someone took it further.

    @@RunningonairMusicAh I see, I'll just write a new comment. For the SC-55 it's much easier indeed because there's better tools available, it supports NRPNs for most things, and it generally has more controls. I only have an SC-7 though, so I made a tool called “SoundPalette” (you should find it if you search online for “SoundPalette SC-7” or something like this). It's a bit fiddly, but it can generate and send almost all the SysEx messages that the SC-7 supports, and some of the SC-55/GS ones too. The one I've had most fun with is the “CAF TVF CUT OFF CONTROL” in the “Patch parameters”. If that's set to something other than the default value of 40H, then sending a Channel Pressure (Channel Aftertouch) message will adjust the filter cutoff. It's also nice to be able to tweak the reverb and chorus. Sadly the SC-7 is quite limited otherwise, it doesn't let you adjust envelopes etc, but I've enjoyed the challenge of finding creative ways to get more sounds out of it.

This might be a bit more of a general electronics question, but I am very confused by the idea of negative voltages such as shown here. It took me a very long time to finally realize that graphs of actual sound waves in the air use the 0 point to refer to the standing rooms atmospheric pressure, so general sound wave graphs show the compression and decompression of air molecules relative to the given ar pressure. I still dont understand this in regards to electricity though and an AC of analog audio signals. What is the 0 point here? Thanks in advance if you find the time to respond!

    Imagine having a 20 volt power supply with a 20 volt connection and a 0 volt connection. Now we add a third connection in the middle which would naturally be 10 volts. Now we are going to rename the terminals so that they look 10 volts less each. 20 volt becomes 10 volt, 10 becomes 0 volt. So what should 0 volt be? Well, 10 less so minus 10 volt. So essentially we choose the numbers that we use.

Over time it will congeal and turn gummy. Better to use deoxit or some such contact cleaner meant for cleaning electronics. Water Displacement 40 (ie WD40) is meant to stop oxidation of mainly metal. It's greasy and oil like, short term lubricating? It's not a good choice for plastics or locks or electronics long term.
