Video demo of some (ROM) Kurzweil PC3 "corrected" sounds.

[Theo Verelst]

A little different iteration of the added global correction AUX2 effect and master effects in sort of mix band mode led to this demo:

(or use

)

 

All live played on the indicated instruments (top: PC3, bottom: a CP4), no additional software, no MIDI (no Midi or Usb cables were attached to either instrument) and no sequences (except for a few the obvious uses of the standard "example songs" from the Kurz), no editing, no effects, except a little reverb on the mix.

 

I didn't need to stick with simple harmonies this time, and the whole sound is more playable, which thus far for me often was problematic. I never hear much in the way of demos of sound types that do not p*ss me off because of things some might like because of the monitoring or PA they use, or maybe some people like certain types of distortion, and who am I to stop them. This should sound alright, maybe not dramatic in every way, but can be put loud (at least the 96/24 I recorded could, what YT compression does is another thing that remains to be seen), works on big and small speakers, neutral headphones, etc.

 

Recorded with a phone cam and audio taken from the 192/24 Yamaha mixer ADC with linux from the analog outputs of the instruments.For those who like that stuff or would want to do this themselves, the command to create the file I uploaded to YT:

 

[font:Fixedsys]time ~/Fffmpeg/5/ffmpeg-3.0/ffmpeg -i /home2/theo/MOV_0044.MP4 -ss 1.1 -i /home2/theo/vidmixrec_pc3cor_cp4pha_1.flac -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -c:v copy -af "volume=+3dB" -c:a aac -cutoff 20000 -b:a 384k -threads 8 /home2/theo/demo_pc3cor_cp4pha_1.mkv[/font]

 

So for the first time I've uploaded a 96/24 audio track!

Theo, I can't describe how relieved I am to finally see proof that you aren't a 'bot.

 

Nice playing!; and I concur -- those patches seem to sing, even through my laptop's 1 cm woofer.
