Klaus Schulze Live - WDR Köln 1977

YouTube

Okay, here's a long shot for the #Fedi hive mind. If you are in the intersection of "#musician or musician-adjacent in the 1980s" and "keyboard / #synthesizer aficionado", this one is for you.

In the mid- to late-80s, I used to spend a lot of time in music / #instrument stores (not selling CDs, selling guitars and amps and drums and whatnot). Synthesizer tech was advancing rapidly at this point, with digital starting to overtake analog by leaps and bounds.

At some point, one of the stores got a new #keyboard model in. I can't swear to it, but I think it was either a #Roland or a #Korg. This one had a floppy drive built in, on the side of the #synth. And they had a demo on a floppy disk that was incredible at the time.

It wasn't an official #demo disk. It was a normal consumer floppy, presumably copied far and wide. Hand-Sharpied on it was the name/title "Amin Phone". It was a musical, bright and upbeat piece, rock/pop, maybe 30s long, and included digital samples of a person's voice.

The entire thing was a ridiculous #answering machine outgoing #message. I think there was even a sampled voice at the end taken from someone leaving a message, commenting on it being over-the-top or something.

"Amin phone" is unsearchable on the 'net. Everyone has a phone, and there are millions of people named Amin or el-Amin.

Anyone else remember this? Anyone actually able to point to a recording of it?

This video captures a presentation by Korg Berlin’s Tatsuya Takahashi and Iarla Scaife on the past, present and future of Korg synthesis.

The Past, Present & Future Of Korg Synthesis

The session dives deep what makes Korg unique, from their analog heritage, to the acoustic synthesis of the Phase8 synthesizer.

Still rocking KORG Gadget and I've started work on a song. It eventually became acid techno.

Setting up some sounds for Heart of Neon 2 and I’ve got to say the #Korg #NTS1 really does pack some punch for such a small synth ... #RubiksCube for scale
Дал шанс Korg SQ-64 Poly Sequencer. Как-то чуждо и избыточно там, где не нужно. Arturia BeatStep Pro куда больше по душе оказалась. #НадоБрать #Arturia #Korg
