Arturia EMS Synthi V Tutorial Ep#8 - The Keyboard Sequencer

[@abird008]

Great videos. Congratulations!

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Glad you like them, thank you for your kind feedback!

[@user-ot9zz1zg9q]

Thanks for doing these. This cleared up some questions I had.

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Glad it was helpful, thanks for the feedback!

[@paulemery382]

thanks for the demo on Synthi. Had it a long time and thanks to you I can actually use it on songs rather than just as a toy occasionally. You're very clear and concise about things which is great for dimwits like me. ta

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Awesome! Thanks very much for the feedback, it's much appreciated :)

[@ThierryLalinne]

This synth is awesome and quite unique: a little bit of a mess user interface-wise. The ARP 2600 on the other hand is a model of clarity. I like them both.Thank you once more for the quality of your content, Anthony.

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Lol, I know what you mean, but that's a high bar you've raised there! I really appreciate your support, it means a lot.

[@Mia1Goth]

Thank you, it is my favorite Arturia synth, i have also the Reaktor ensemble - Synth In A Case, it is also very capable of wonderful weird noises :D

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Thanks, glad you liked the series. The Synthi is an incredible synth.

Thank you for these brilliant tutorials, could you demonstrate how to achieve Jean Michel jarres constant background high pitched sparkling sound as heard on equinoxe 3

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

I wish I could! Sound replication is a skilled art, and not something I do much of, so I'd rather not pretend to be an expert and get caught out. He used quite a few different instruments on this album (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89quinoxe#Equipment), and I don't know which one would be best suited to that particular effect. It is absolutely gorgeous though.

Is there no portamento feature? Can't find it :(

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

No. The original synth didn't have a lag processor (which is how portamento works), but Arturia did add one to their Step Sequencer when they developed that add-on, so you do get portamento (called "Smooth") for sequences.

[@Mia1Goth]

one problem i found is that saving a user preset is not recalling the joystick position, do you know the reason? is it a bug or intentional?

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

I just ran a quick test, and discovered that if you explicitly move the joystick before saving the preset it does recall that position when loading the preset back in. It appears that some presets don't have a specific joystick value when they are saved, in which case the joystick position is NOT updated when you load it.

There's no better way to learn this synth

Really appreciate all your kind feedback, thank you :)
