The video points out some differences in the MS-5, and some audio differences may be obvious to viewers. But the review ultimately suggests that the Behringer MS-5 build quality is ‘OK’ and that, no matter how close it is to the original, it’s an interesting analog synthesizer.
Does the Behringer MS-5 deliver an affordable copy of the Roland SH-5? Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments!
This video, via Reverb, offers a behind-the-scenes tour of Korg Berlin with CEO Tatsuya ‘Tats’ Takahashi.
Takahashi is probably best known for his work as Chief Engineer of Analog Synthesizers at Korg, Takahashi helped create the Monotrons, Volcas, Korg’s ARP and MS-20 reissues, the Minilogue and more.
For the last four years, though, Takahashi has been leading Korg Berlin, which they have described as a sort of ‘engineering playground’ for electronic instrument design.
Korg Berlin has previewed a new acoustic synthesizer, the Phase8, that they say they expect to debut next year.
Groove Synthesis shared this tutorial on how to create PPG-style sounds on the 3rd Wave synthesizer.
In the video from Superbooth 2024, Groove Synthesis’ sound designer Kurt Kurasaki demonstrates how to create a beautiful and lush PPG-style pad sound from scratch, using some of the basic concepts and features of the 3rd Wave.
Utilizing the 3rd Wave’s multitimbral capabilities, Kurasaki then creates a stack of sounds that he can spread out into the stereo field by panning and detuning them.
You can find out more about the 3rd Wave at the Groove Synthesis website.
