Dude your voice is amazing. I don't know what's going on in 60% of your videos but it's worth it just to hear that silky smooth voice.

[@BokBarber]

You can adjust the speed of the vibrato by going into Frequency Modulation mode, using the data entry +- buttons to speed it up or slow it down, then getting back out of Frequency modulation mode. Other hidden functions: you can trim your sample by using the +- buttons in loop mode, and vary your sample quality/length ratio by holding one of the middle octave keys while you sample (low keys make a longer, lower quality sample while higher keys make a better, shorter sample.) It takes a little bit of practice with the timing to make this work. Source: I grew up with one of these and spent way too many hours playing with it. I still have it around but it's very beaten up.

[@MagpieWattle]

I love this type of music, reminds me of Locust Toybox. Some people may question why it doesn't have lyrics or say that it sounds unsettling but that's exactly what I love about it. It makes you feel things without any words being sung.

[@sofascialistadankulamegado1781]

Locust Toybox of David Firth. Ah yes the memories.

[@ahmadfarhansibghotalloh]

any ideas some music like this?

[@kyle4345]

The whole point of music is to describe what words cannot. While lyrics can add value, they often take away from the artistic value of music. If you need to describe what a piece of art is about (whether a painting, movie, or song) then it is not good art. Its supposed to be open to interpretation and the best lyrics are those that are vague enough that they can be interpreted in multiple ways. Kinda reminds me of Black Moth Super Rainbow / Tobacco.

[@DJ279V]

I had one of these in high school back in '92. Made alot of loops with it along with a Realistic Concertmate 500. Recorded the loops with intention of reviving them someday. Well, 2mos. ago I bought a cassette deck, started resampling some of those loops into my MPC2000xl and gave them a little oomph with layering and adding an extra sound or two. I miss the keyboard but it lives in the loops created and resampled.

[@RealOny]

I just love every second of this channel, don't give up on it Posy.

Perhaps this is the highest quality that I have seen on KZbin in terms of the quality of filming, the preparation of the material and the overall impression. The author has a divine announcer's voice that spreads in your brain in soft, enveloping waves. Divine, simple and obvious. If it's not difficult, tell us - who are you in your professional activity?

[@vannitagliavento]

Only on mine vss30 is practically impossible to sample piano keys or other percussive sounds? Even voice has to be really loud to trigger the microphone! And frequently the sample is cut if the voice isn’t kept stable in volume while sampling

[@demianin]

Same thing happens to me

[@sauermusicDE]

4:46 "The keyboard has no drum sounds." >>> Hmmm...ok...but what about the 12 internal preset rhythms? What happens when you activate them and play some chords on the dedicated left hand area of the keyboard? Are these just playing arpeggios with the internal FM preset sounds (without any "percussion stuff")? Or what is the deal here?
