SynthBits: True Cuckoo Rehearsing a Song on MODX

Written by Blake Angelos on July 18, 2019. Posted in MODX/MODX+.

When we first saw this video we were wondering if True Cuckoo actually liked MODX! Turns out after spending time with the instrument he found it very useful for, as he puts it, the “keyboard player on tour”. This is a really great video because he digs into the user interface, creates a Performance using a combination of preset waveforms and custom samples, shows how he uses an iPad for notes and music cues and then plays through the song! This is a pretty unique product video because it shows a real world use for MODX. Check it out below:

Dr. Mix Visits the Yamaha Synth Space

Written by Blake Angelos on July 17, 2019. Posted in News.

Dom Sigalas is a frequent contributor on YamahaSynth. You saw him co-host the MODX launch and present at NAMM, Superbooth, Messe and many more events. Dom is also a Steinberg product specialist and he works with the great YouTube music production and technology channel, Dr. Mix
.

Dom is a very busy guy, but he took time out of his schedule to visit the Synth Space at Yamaha Corporation of America headquarters. As the saying goes he was like “a kid in a candy store” playing Yamaha Synthesizers from the 1970s to today. Watching him play and talk about each synthesizer in the Synth Space is the reason why this is one of our favorite videos ever. Check it out below:
