I wish Zoom would make instruments again. They were killing it for a little while, that ST-224 was a very hands-on fun sampler, poor man’s ASR-X. Really want a ST-224 mk2 with variable bitrate, 44.1khz & onboard MSR-70 FX.

Nice synth. I've owned one for 10 years but dont use it due to menu diving. After 10 years I have no idea how the animate part works(beyond your demo part at 7:11) , I need to look into that.

Sadly, I think Single Cell went under. Their website is now a 404 redirect

Wonderful demo

Where is the distortion on the string patch coming from (around 7:30)?

how would you classify this digital synth? its not pulse code modulation. so is it wavetable synthesis? or is it related to casio's phase distortion synthesis?

I got the timber wolf synth for 80 quid with a stand it's a badass looking synth but it's not great it's great for basslines and 303 type stuff and g funk type riffs but that's about it I make hiphop beats so I use it for basslines and it hits really nicely the low end is really nice iv never used the rhythm wolf ...I think it would make a better sequencer to sequence another synth or keyboard with no sequencer on board ....

I kinda like it. S'on my wish list now, after your video. It's definitely not deserving of the abuse that it gets!

Don't run... anything... I'm sorry

What were the half rack Akai synths that came out before this?

Die invertierten Regler dürften durch die Zugriegel inspiriert sein, die es ja auch in vielen Italo-Hohner-Orgeln gab. Habe auch noch ein Teil dieser Serie rumstehen, dem Gottseidank nur zwei Tasterblenden fehlen. Die Lesliesimulation ahmt zwar nur einen Rotor nach, statt zwei, klingt aber trotzdem ganz gut für ein Keyboard jener Zeit. Man spürt beim Spielen definitiv, dass es eine nicht nur rein digitale Klangerzeugung ist, sondern dass da ein paar gut klingende Bauteile drinstecken. Leider wurde mit den paar Presets nicht so viel rausgeholt, wie drinsteckt. Schönes Video! Und am Ende ein Videospiel, so frech, dass das eigentlich nur Hofnarren zusteht😂

One of my favorites!

Super Video Danke dafür! Da steckt Arbeit drinne.great work mate! ❤

Ooh, been trying to find the desktop module version of this, the MR250, looks great in a small form factor!

There are 2 funny typos in the credits, but I take that as the icing on the cake of the amusing game. Already the nice ensemble effect alone is worth the little money. Does it stick to the strings or can it be applied to any sound?

The bass patches are surprisingly good. That filter chip is a good one.

So this man not only has extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the old gear he's reviewing, but can also play them in technically and musically interesting ways. Can't really ask for more then that, good job sir. Loving this format of content btw, I got hard into the Kleinanzeigen keyboard game late covid until I filled up my studio corner. Might have to start making more room.

5:19 Since when the "dot-dash" speaker connectors (DIN-41529) are proprietary? =)

not the schröder/merkel/scholz backdrop 😭

I thought you said hybrid syths have been round since the middle ages then realised you said mid 80s .. sorry but it amused me . 😁

What a goldmine your channel is! Mod it!!! Fascinating stuff

With some good FX-processing this keyboard can sound quite nice. But with a modern synth doing all the classic synths, it isn't necessary anymore to buy a seperate keyboard for these sounds.

wow didn’t know about this one!

wait... volume sliders up = silent? that's easily the most batshit thing I've ever heard I think I'm gonna be sick

Wow, that was great!

Never managed to get a DX7II FD (floppy disk!) to work with one of these...I've been through all the tutorials and firmwares - but it's never recognised by the DX7II. Can't be that hard to emulate whatever the DX7II is expecting to find on the end of the cable?

I've heard much worse. Too bad the download link is a nightmare! I couldn't figure pout how to do it.

If you’re old like me, you will remember when Behringer was a respected pro audio brand manufactured in west Germany.

I quite like the sounds of this one. They're nothing too exciting but there's some heft and atmosphere I wouldn't expect at that price point. I feel like they'd sit well in a mix and each serves a very practical function. If modded to add more real time control would be a fun device... Plus you get a free Linn Drum as a bonus! My first synth was a kawai k3 which did the digital analog hybrid thing so I have a soft spot for these kinda things

I blame Bad Gear

Well & creatively done. Then a satirized, simulated video game at the end might've certainly been relatively strenuous I guess.

Nice video as always! Just a note: Those speaker connectors are not proprietary, they are DIN 41529, a standard commonly used at that time.

Truly ….. How can I say this politely? 🤣

I need that orchestra hit

This dude kept secrets now getting found

I still stand by my claim that the $200 that I paid for it brand new was a bargain.

das Klicken des Synths ist richtig Mist! - the clicking noise of the synth is garbage

Just bought a used HT-700 but it did not come with the power adapter. The seller said it works with batteries but this was before he sold it to me and then ghosted me. My question is, is there a specific type of battery this keyboard uses in order to power it up? Or a regular D size battery should work? Or did I just get scammed? lol

That thing about Doom is a bit funny/sad... the POWER and LOVE of FM music was coming from Sega Genesis though :) Strees of Rage, Thunder Force, MUSHA, Shinobi 3, Contra HC, Batman & Robin, Vectorman etc. etc. As in, in those games music was created with FM in mind, and it shows. Meanwhile stuff like Doom and System Shock, yeah, they would be best on mt32 and other midi greatness

Great Video! I am attempting the same with my FZ-1... I have the rotary oled gotek using flashfloppy and have matched your jumper settings and config file - I can load .hfe files into the FZ-1... but... when I sample a sound using the FZ-1 and try to Save Voice to the USB blank image I get a NO DISK SPACE error - any ideas on solving this would be really appreciated! Thanks!!
