ROCK SCHOOL - Series 2 - Episode 1 (part 3 of 3)

[billtyfish]

I'm 17 and i've got my A level Music Tech exam tomorrow, this is an absolute lifesaver!!!

[brajtnerinjo]

Square wave for strings, wtf?

[mistermafia9]

@brajtnerinjo pwm probably

[dvamateur]

@brajtnerinjo Exactly, I was going to say the same thing. The square wave would be more for woodwind sounds such as clarinet. He is simply playing another saw, slightly muted, and they show a square wave. That was quite a bit incompetent.

[brajtnerinjo]

@dvamateur Yes, I also always used saw on my older synths for strings. But recently I bought a microkorg and I was surprised that many strings patches (and good sounding ones too) use sq waves

[auxbla]

Great haircut on the guitarist.

[katakisLives]

Synth! even better than the real thing!

[golafs]

hm at ca 2.50, that string patch sounded more like a sawtooth wave, not square. and the brass patch more like created with pulse wave (with little bit of pwm). ?

[trylonperisphere]

Filters are a wonderful thing, no? ;)

You tube is the Granny we will never listen to, for our archive of history.

I don't remember Buddy Holly, or the Beatles first time around, I doremember the Sex Pistols, Grand Master Flash, Nivarna, Immortal Technique.

so please, every one, become a historian of music, ie, before Disney.

[strabbs1]

i used to love watching all this stuff, synths where new at the time and id never heard the likes, and i still listen to thomas dolby

[canvoodoo]

Henry Thomas always had a shit slap tone

[goldphinga]

JD73 memorymoog videos coming very soon..

[Voltor07]

We here in the US never had this or anything like it. This is AWESOME!

[pinkfrost89]

yes, we did. PBS aired this series on Saturday mornings. I used to watch it religously in my junior high and early high school days. I loved seeing my favorite new wave bands talking about making their music.

[Voltor07]

I was too young to remember it back then I guess. Though I remember when G&R's Appetite for Destruction was released.

[pinkfrost89]

Yeah, I was a teenager in the 80s and I remember watching this series on KCET the local PBS station out of LA. I remember Herbie Hancock hosted a version of this series as well, I believe.

[Voltor07]

I was born in '82, and was seven in '89. I was pretty heavy into the whole rock/metal scene in those days, except my mom still dressed me back then. So I didn't dress metal. I would have loved to see this in those days. Guess Transformers, He-Man, GI Joe and Super Mario Bros. Super Show took precedence.

[elsongs]

Yes! I also saw this on KCET. This show was totally rad awesomeness!!!!

[Brian880]

That was always a fun show to watch. I rmember when this one aired. The MemoryMoog was (is) alwats a blast to play.

[ghostgirlv3]

thank you thank you thank you for loading this

[tomstimemachine]

Thanks for subscribing - I'll be trying to put the next one on over the weekend.

[GNeuman]

Wow, brought back some memories this....Forgot how talented yet completely stiff the presenters were, LOL......

The MemoryMoog sounds absolutely gorgeous, also amazing is how much people were dazzled (hoodwinked??) by the original digital synth technology in the mid to late '80's........................

Thanks for posting......
