Sunday Synth Jam: MacBeth Studio Systems’ Ken MacBeth improvises on his prototype Nexus touch keyboard analogue synthesizer.
I can see it now…”Nexus kept in smoke free studio”
“Only pulled out of the box and used once to make sure it works”
No memory, not velocity sensitive. What can we say?
This has all the sounds from my childhood, Dr who, Space 1999, Thunderbirds, Eno stuff, I totally love it but won’t be able to afford one, totally gutted!!
It looks good ,but doesn’t make sense, you would have to plug a midi keyboard in if you wanted velocity , but does this synth respond to velocity? and aftertouch .
I for my part, love MacBeth’s approch to experimental music which he shows here, and in the making of the Nexus. This is a synth I really want to have when its done. Velocity? Doesnt matter to me. I am all about tweaking the knobs anyway. One of my favorite ways to play a synth is with the filter and resonanse. Slap a “hold key” button in there, and I have what I need. Or a sequenser. Many of my tracks is just one long midinote with loads of automation set to it.
