With a single USB cable CP88 and CP73 you can connect both MIDI and stereo audio to a Mac, PC or an iOS device (with a simple Lightning to USB adapter). In the video below Dom shows you some of the cool things you can do when connected to Cubase. He shows how easy it is to both record and monitor virtual instruments. Dom ahows deep control over RAST-A, a powerful analog-style VST instrument for HALion, using the front panel controls of CP88. Check it out below!

SynthBits: Synthesizers, As Digested by a Classical Musician (Nahre Sol)

Written by Blake Angelos on August 9, 2019. Posted in CP73-CP88.

We’ve featured Nahre Sol on YamahaSynth playing a fugue at the beach and exploring a reface CP/looper combination. She’s a talented classically-trained pianist and composer whose YouTube channel features great videos about different musical genres, the creative process, music history and music technology.

The video below chronicles Nahre’s quest to find out how “synthesized sounds can enhance, augment and at times stand in place of traditional acoustic sounds in the context of contemporary music”. Along the way she visits musicians with modular systems, modern and vintage synthesizers like the DX7 and ends with a very cool piece written and performed on the CP88 Stage Piano.
