@PixelNotesMusic beautiful, I really like it thanks for sharing. Nice choice of sounds, love the typewriter and high-hats or whatever they are... I even seem to hear some glide and tremolo on some of the voices. No effects maybe beside panning right?

I like your taste, very nice track and sounds, thanks for sharing! you have very good command of your instruments, congratulations!

hi @m10538 great job, you must live by high standards to call this work rudimentary I really enjoyed watching this, thanks for sharing.

with regards to the SD synthesis of the HT-series, my personal conclusion after hours of oscilloscope measurements is that it is also based on Walsh synthesis. I try to explain: Every SD waveform is made of up to four "multipulse" components (derived by Walsh manipulation of square waves at different octaves). Having four components allows the generation of more complex waveforms (eg 16 step sawtooth), compared to CV which seems to use only two. For about half of the HT700/3000 waveforms, all such components follow an identical DCA ADRS envelope, so that the resulting waveforms are harmonically "static" over time - triangle, sawtooth, square, pulse wave and a bunch of other more complex multi-pulse waveformes are such examples. For the other half on the other hand, the DCA ADSR envelopes of the individual components differ, and harmonic movement arises from the overlapping fade-in/fade-out phases. Controlling the DCA ADSR for each individual component is not possible on the HTs, but they are influenced by the overall DCA settings in kind of a combined way. So, working with dynamic SD waveforms mostly involves trial and error. In addition, the HTs offer noise both as standalone and as part of some SD waveforms, allowing a broad variety of sounds despite the comparably low number of editable parameters.

sometimes the most inspiring features are the missing ones 😀

Hello! This is a short track made using the Casio HT3000 and Boss RC-30 Loop Station. All sounds are from the Casio HT3000 without external effect, except for the short "Lo-Fi" part as remarked. The RC-30 is a very nice accessory and offers much more than what I show in the video, you may want to check it out. Hope you like it and thanks for listening!

to me, they both look like very inspiring instruments. from what i could hear the sound quality is really good and with 800 sounds and the available tone and effect editing options I think you can get basically any sound you need. adding the styles, sampling, vocal synthesis and all other features the possibilities are endless. i appreciate the casio engineers for adding built-in speakers. at least for me, that adds to the immediacy of the instrument. overall i consider them instruments for musicians, people who love to play, make music and have fun. maximum result with minimum weight and costs. technology and synthesis enthusiasts may prefer other instruments, but i am sure a lot of people will make a lot of good music with both the 1000 an 500

I have followed your tip! Very nice and relaxing tune, thanks for sharing!

@sslyutov very nice thanks for sharing! wish I had this timing too!

@ChasThanks, happy you like it! looking forward to the CZ battle!! 😀 and of course to a future HT comparison!

Hello @mike71, wow thanks a lot for your comment and background information, very interesting! have you taken the picture yourself? The organ patch in the cover is based on waveform #30, which sounds saw-ish with some additional metallic noise. If I had known which organ I was trying to replicate, probably I wouldn't have even tried

hi everyone! This video shows some examples of external MIDI re-routing on HT3000: 1) upper and lower voice layered 2) bass preset and upper voice layered 3) upper voice with additional 5th. I have used the MIDI-OX software and I think this can be done with many synthesizers. There are lots of possibilities, although at the costs of polyphony. Thanks for listening!

Hello dear all! This is a HT3000 rendition of the progressive rock theme from the Goblin’s soundtrack of Deep Red/Profondo Rosso, a cult 1975 Italian thriller/horror movie by D. Argento. The organ track has external reverb on it (Zoom 505ii), all other sounds are straight from the HT3000, with the bass being a layered patch. Concerning the drums, I have used the original HT3000 PCM samples played by the free DVS drum sampler VST, with a layered white-noise patch for the crash sound. While the time signature is kind of weird, the melody line still remains natural in my opinion. I hope you like it, and if you like the genre check out the movie, you will not be disappointed Thanks for listening and all comments welcome!

Hi Tsquare, very nice music and playing thanks for sharing! Much to my embarrassment, I am not familiar with Rhapsody in Blue but after hearing this I will check it out and probably (actually definitely...) I should spend more time on piano than on synths...THX!

nice idea! I am really curious about what you will find out! looking forward to your video 😀

Hi again! I have managed to get my screen capture SW to work more or less, so I have made a "behind-the-scenes" video, about the multitrack structure and sound programming for this song. I hope you like it! Thanks for watching

Nice, thanks for sharing! so this is DAWless right? I mean you have used the PX560's sequencer?

Hi! This is my rendition of the track "Kids" from the soundtrack of "Stranger Things" by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, played on the Casio HT3000. All sounds are by Casio HT3000, without external effects. No claim of 100% fidelity :) the original sounds are so fat and powerful, but I have at least tried to recraeate the overall atmosphere. BTW The bass sound is the preset from the accompaniment section. The whole thing is a multitrack recording from the HT3000 into Cubase (1x patch ostinato, 1x lead, 2x pads, 2x bass, 1x arpeggio and white noise). The arpeggio is in fact mad of 3 tracks to emulate a delay effect. I had planned to show it, but I am not able to setup my screen capture SW to record my speakers... :) I keep trying. Thanks for listening!

very nice chord progression again, thanks for sharing!

wow! so well played, saxophone line and playing is really realistic - Thanks for sharing!

Nice playing, thanks for sharing! reminds me of Monk's bebop ballads.

very nice, thanks for sharing! it looks very authentic, at first I thought the music was also from the original Ad!! : )

Hi everyone! This is a short demonstration of how the internal sequencer on the HT3000 can be used to produce some simple FX or percussive sounds. In the first example a fast chord pattern is emulating a ringing telephone, in the second one a fast rim-shot pattern reproduces a vibraslap sound. https://youtu.be/i18VFNdswzo Edited: Noo! that's a hihat!! this is the vibraslap!!!! https://youtu.be/yq8j1tRYuM8 Thanks for listening!

Hello everybody, bad weather the whole week over here... So here is some more music from my HT3000, namely my go at the very nice (and possibly ominous by now ) "Take you dancing" by J. Derulo. Vocals are extracted from the original recording; otherwise, all sounds and drums are from the Casio HT3000. Thanks for listening and have a nice and safe summer!

Hallo hippie403, thanks! a Casio analog drum machine would be so nice who knows, maybe one day!
