Alesis Andromeda Tonal Synthesis

This instructional video explores tonal synthesis using the amazing Alesis Andromeda analogue synthesizer. We can investigate tonal applications for sound synthesis and with some background theory, understand how to create organ and similar keyboard timbres. Analogue synthesis can create choral and organ-type timbres that can be layered to bring about very rich and dynamic undulating sounds. These sounds can form the basis of very expressive regal compositions that can lend themselves to a wide variety of musical applications.

Experiment with tonal synthesis.

Will rubber gloves make me a better synthesizer player ?

[asynchronicity]

Your gloves gave me nightmares -- otherwise great!

Hey mokuchley,

it's probably a DX-7 (1984).

And who decided to put a picture of a roadmap on the top of the Andromeda?

So distracting.

[JeffreyPlaide]

Yes it is!

It is the great Yamaha DX 1, a more advanced version of the DX 7 with more FM operators and generation algorithms than the DX7. It also had a weighted keyboard and very heavy to move. It cost quite a bit in the early 1980s.
