Very, very good demo. Nice playing. You could have been de demo seq disk composer. I adore my SD1/32. It has been with me for more than 25 years. Among all other synths and soft-instruments it will always play a major role cause of its creative quality. It will be my last synth if every other one has exploded. I have upgraded my unit with a floppy emulator (based on a Gotek drive with added OLED display and other firmware) all 35 disks are on a USB stick inside the emulator. Works great! Loading AND saving. In the past I've been working closely together with the former Dutch Ensoniq distributor, so got access to all disks, including the SEQ OS ones. Great to have them on an USB stick now. Keep making these nice videos!

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I recently acquired a TS12 to add to my Ensoniq collection - it's another winner and deserves its own video. I still have to explore it more, and probably expand the sample RAM so I can load some of my ASR10 samples into it. It's always great to meet another Ensoniq fan. You can always post links here whenever you have something to share. Cheers! ☮️😎

Hello. What is the sound used at 12:06? Is this in the KVP FARM/ROM files , custom or from a library? I have a K2600XS and I'm looking for a program like that for a project I'm working on.
@geerefamilyusa
@geerefamilyusa 2 ай бұрын
It's a custom patch using three layers. Basically, I delay the sound of layers 2/3 by an amount that creates the rhythm I want. So as you strike the key, it plays Layer 1, then Layer 2, then Layer 3. I'm sure the K2600XS will have this feature... Good luck!

Just bought a Kurzweil last year, a PC4 with VAST/FM/KVA it is incredible how little it has changed, these tutorials are not that different. VAST has remained mostly the same, no reason to change it any more than changing a typical subtractive analog synth architecture. After pushing through all the frustrations of learning this synth from the manual, yesterday, I finally got through my first patch. A 5 layer program with 4 KVA layers and 1 keymap layer. 4 effects (reverb, delay, phasing, chorus), CC pedal control of filter, pedal switch for a key range separated arpeggiator. I was shocked how easy it is to overload the preamp section of the audio output. The levels of all 5 layers needed to be turned down into the -45 range to prevent digital horrible distortion. I sure hope the months of research and study and trial and error programming has not been for nothing. The CC pedal assigned to the filter, was corrupting the program too, and it is all Kurzweil manufactured pedals. ??????????

Little has changed and mostly the same? There was no Cascade to 32 Layers, no Dynamic V.A.S.T., no integrated DX-7 FM engine, no KVA... There was Live Mode in the K2500S and K2600S which has disappeared, Vocoder Mode which is not there anymore. There's a ton that has been improved but many things with Live Mode have gone.

They are custom patches. Basically, I'm using a variable foot controller to modulate a bunch of parameters in real time. You can get such pedals for $20-30. I recommend them because you can play two-handed and still control your mods :-) If you're interested, I can email you a zip file of some of the patches in the video.

@@geerefamilyusa Big Ensoniq fan myself. Had an ESQ-1 for a while and also an SQ2 (original 21-voice version) that I purchased from an Ensoniq sound designer. (I am originally from the western suburbs of Philadelphia so Ensoniq was practically in my backyard.) The folks at Ensoniq kindly upgraded it to 32-voice and maxed the sequencer memory for me. After I sold that (having upgraded to a Yamaha Motif 8) I missed it and so acquired a couple of SQRs. Eventually picked up a TS-12 (which I still have) which was kind of the ultimate development of the line that the SD1 was part of. I kinda wish they hadn't kept changing their naming conventions; it gets kind of confusing. The SQ 1 and SQ 2 are not really part of the line of the ESQ-1 but the SQ-80 is. And then it goes VFX to VFX-SD to SD1 to SD1-32 voice to TS 10 and TS 12...And the MR and ZR series are different from the earlier ones and the Fizmo is really not all that different from the MR and despite its name is not the "PHYSical MOdeling synth that it was originally supposed to be. (The Halo isn't really even an Ensoniq; it's an E-Mu product that they slapped an Ensoniq badge on. I feel no love for the very ironically-named Creative Labs for essentially destroying two great synth companies.) But I guess if Ensoniq's marketing strategy of renaming their products as if they were completely new (when they really weren't...all that much) helped them sell more synths and helped keep them afloat, I can't really blame them. They were up against some pretty stiff competition. The irony is, I don't think they really needed to do that because Ensoniqs really don't sound like anything else and in my opinion they had already carved out their own unique place in the synth world. In addition, I always found their sequencer among the best in terms of ease of use. Ensoniq gave you a lot of instrument for the money and I really miss them and wish they were still around.

I totally get that. Prices are insane these days! I got my SD-1 under market value because the display doesn't read correctly. But it didn't really hinder the programmability to me.

Please check out my VFX-SD video, it might give you some ideas :-) Peace

The SD-1 is an extremely underrated synthesizer. It's dirty secret and it's power lies in the DSP effects. It has plenty of limitations, lack of resonance being the primary one, but it offers so much more in its modulation capabilities to make up for it. The onboard sequencer which enables step recording expands the creative possibilities!. For a digital synthesizer of the time it had a lot of analog-ish features such as repeating envelopes, a plethora of modulation capabilities, six voices each with three envelopes and two filters, model mode where one of them emulates a moog style. One of the stock patches is an 808 patch which sounds nothing like that Roland 808 but it's got its own distinct characteristic and is really meaty. Combining two filters -- (Again available to each of the six voices) -- allows creating bandpass high pass, and if tune correctly allows for extremely sharp roll offs. When sequencing, each patch has the capability of being routed to external auxiliary outputs, meaning you can use external effects with it or ride it through an external filter that is resonating. One can also completely open up the on-board filters, to realize the rich harmonics for the conventional waveforms IE triangle saw square... It made me realize and take a second look at wave table synthesis.

I bought a VFXsd ver. II (21 voice) new in the 90's. After a decade it was lost to hardware failure. Years later I found an SD-1/32 on eBay for $500 and I've had it ever since. Keep an eye on the power supply as they sometimes fail. Nothing sounds like that synth! I also have a K2000r updated to K2Vx spec w/ a nice bright blue LCD display replacement. Both are classics that I will never part with!
