Weird Things in Synth Manuals...

This one came on the AH list via Chris Strellis

"The Emax manual says:
'Bird Run is the function that align's the Emax's internal stabilizers and prevents excessive gyrocosmic relativation.

During this process you need to carefully observe the display for any signs of destabilization (eg. gravitational warps, apparent speeding up or slowing down of time, objects in mirrors appearing closer than they really are). If Emax returns to the Module Identifier after a few seconds, all is well.

Note: Occasionally a small emu will get trapped within the Emax and run across the screen during the stabilization scan process. This does not affect Emax's normal functions.'

Picture of that process here" If you know of others, feel free to share.

Update via Sasa Rasa in the comments: "Also, DX5 posted recently a nice video showing the bird run feature"

Emu Emax curiosities


YouTube via DX5

"Tweaking across some hilarious messages in the Emax.

First, the "Bird Run function"

According to manual:
"This function aligns Emax internal stabilizers and prevents excessive gyrocosmic relativation. (...) Occasionally a small Emu will get trapped within the emax and run across the screen during the stabilizaton scan process. This does not affect the normal Emax fuctions"

Also, the message displayed when you try to play empty sequencies."

Update via Zeroc001:
"Kurzweil k 2000/2500/2600 keyboard Easter Egg - Ping Pong on Your Kurzweil
Press the MASTER button, then the UTIL soft button, then the ( ) empty space soft button and finally, the SETUP button. You will see "Welcome to the K2000 game!" Use your data wheel to move your "paddle" to meet the bouncing ball. When you're done, press the EXIT button several times to quit.

by following the instructions above, you will have the pleasure of seeing your expensive, state-of-the-art music workstation turned into a 1980´s low-tech computergame : ping pong !
the programmers claim this to be the father of all video games.
I tried myself on my own k 2000, as soon as I heard of this. It works."

followed-by:

"oh, and btw: more copy/pasta on Kurtzweil Pong:

If you're stuck with a case of crushing writer's block, Kurzweil Pong actually outputs notes from MIDI channel 16, changing notes depending on the ball's position while you play. Assign any program you want to channel 16 and Pong yourself a new melody. Or try setting Channel #16 as the Drum Channel (on the [MASTER] page) and choose a suitable drum program. This way you can claim to be actually making music!"

Me playing DM "Get the Balance Right"


YouTube via DX5

"Note: There is a distortion at the drums' beguinning. It is a Youtube compression issue and it is not related to the original recording. Hope youtube techs can fix that problem I've been experiencing some weeks ago.

Recorded at the first shot, so there are some mistakes (as always).

Keyboards:
Above. Roland JX8P
Mid: Yamaha DX7

Upgraded Yamaha DX5

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this auction

"Here's your chance to own one of the Crown Jewels of 80's synth history, and the top of the DX line: the mighty Yamaha DX5. Along with its even bigger brother the DX1 (of which only 140 were made), the DX5 essentially puts two complete DX7 engines in one gorgeous body, and then adds significant upgrades like improved output circuitry with XLR jacks as well as standard 1/4", a much bigger display, double the polyphony, split/layer capability, two cartridge slots, and more.

However, this isn't a standard-issue DX5: this is a custom-modified and completely restored DX5 with higher-end components than the original. Frankly, this is the best-sounding DX synth you will ever hear - even better than a DX1, which are incredibly rare. The following tweaks/updates were done by SynthSpa within the last year:

- Upgraded hand-picked DA converters for pristine sound: the character of the DX1/DX5, but even more hi-fi

- New OLED screen to replace the old, dim EL display

- Totally rebuilt power supply with new capacitors

- New battery

- Completely rebuilt keybed: each key was washed, cleaned, and springs restored to feel brand new

- Custom Paduk wood trim sides

- Cleaned & restored sliders, jacks, pots & other electronic components; outputs rebalanced & optimized


A few other notes: the youtube link in my listing is this actual DX5, recorded in January 2021; however, some of the sounds are from a custom DX sample library I created - some of which are multiple stacks from a TX816.

This DX5 is in incredible shape as you can see in the pics & video; however, there is one minor small scratch near the display. The previous owner filled it in with brown paint, so it's not really noticeable under most circumstances - you have to be looking for it. It's under the temporary brown tape you can see in some of the pics in my listing; the tape has been removed. If you're as OCD as I am, you can do the same thing - or make a nice bezel to surround the display. If it doesn't sell, I'll happily keep it and build a nice wood trim bezel myself!"

Yamaha DX7 Harps demo


YouTube via DX5.

Sent my way via fischek.

"Me playing a DX7 Harps brief demo. Bronski Beat "Smalltown Boy" and Enya "Caribbean Blue" type harps.
Recorded several months ago for Sonicstate.com (you can see some of that demos at "Top 20 Greatest Synth" series).
Sorry, It was recorded with my old cam, so the sound doesn't come directly into the cam, but thru a speaker.

Gear used:
Upper: Emu EMAX II HD (with Roland D10 , Kurzweil PC1x and my own voice samples)

DX5 playing Depeche Mode "Christmas Island"


YouTube via DX5

"Christmas Island played with an Emu Emax only (With new EL foil light on the display).
Emax sequencer is a realtime recording (non quantized) one, then the bass sequence (and therefore my realtime bassdrum and snare playing) can be out of sync sometimes.

Two sounds are samples from the original track, the others were created by myself or taken from some of my libraries.

BTW; I forgot the clothes I use for covering my keyboards against dust on the sofa.

Originally Composed by Martin Gore and Alan Wilder."

Mid: KORG DW8000
Lower: Emu EMAX II HD

*Note: there is a short "jump" at second 7. It seems to be a problem when capturing the video into the computer or rendering to the final format.

Composed by Martin L Gore."
