Everything you
need to know about analog-style synthesis and digital effects.
 Everyone needs to be a synth programmer or engineer nowadays.
And not just keyboard players, either. Guitarists and songwriters
using the free copies of Cubase LE that tumble out of
the box along with a computer interface, drummers with a new DTX e-kit,
remix artists running Reason, live DJ/musicians running Live!, videographers
running Final Cut Pro or even iMovie. Garage
Bandits… the list goes on and on.
Released June 2007, the Sound Advice DVD features almost
9 hours of ‘no parameter left behind’ information and
expertise on analog-style synth programming and digital effects.
Written and presented by top sound designer Dave Polich, who
has crafted waveROM and presets and for many of the world’s
most successful music hardware and software products of the past
ten years, Sound Advice’s 3 DVDs (2 DVD-9 / 1 DVD-5)
encompass synth programming techniques, an exhaustive parameter-by-parameter
guide, and everything you could possibly wish to know about digital
effects.
The DVD’s navigation
system allows you to use Sound Advice in many different
ways: As a complete master class tutorial, as a work of reference
(you can search on individual sound parameters), or as an encyclopedia
of techniques and sound types (creating pads, modifying sound
FX etc).
Legendary producer and 2007 GRAMMY nominee Alan Parsons describes
the DVD as offering: "All you need to know about oscillators,
filters, envelopes, dynamics and effects that will enable you to
produce the sound that you are looking for on your synth - totally
from scratch."
DVD Contents
Disc 1 starts with how to create simple sounds; breaking down
examples into three main categories: decaying sounds, sustaining
sounds, and non-pitched sounds. The next section shows you how
to tweak a series of classic sound types: brightening up a piano,
changing the tone of an electric guitar, modifying the envelope
of a brass patch, and many others.
Disc 2 comprises an exhaustive look at all the major analog-style
synth parameters from Amplitude Scaling to Velocity Curves. Perfectly
watchable from start to finish, with diagrams, text boxes, and
plenty of real-world musical examples, Disc 2 is primarily designed
as a reference guide.
Disc 3 is entirely devoted to digital effects - now an integral
part of the sound design landscape - should be of particular interest
to 01xers since the DSP examined comes from the same stable as
that found on the 01x itself. All major DSP effects - from reverbs
and delays, to chorus, flanger, and phaser, to EQ and compression
- are examined in minute, parameter-by-parameter detail.
Who Needs It
Produced by KEYFAX NewMedia, who has been making instructional
videos and DVDs on music technology for more than 15 years, Sound
Advice is filmed in a clean and uncluttered style, with supporting
text boxes and simple diagrammatic material.
Talking ‘in plain English,’ Sound Advice is
aimed at the novice to intermediate user who has a keen potential
interest in sound, but who doesn’t exactly want to study
the subject at college. Applications include digital musicians
of all persuasions, songwriter/engineers, technology-enabled DJs,
and students and teachers in music education.
Sound Advice is available in all good music stores, or can be
purchased direct from

KEYFAX NEWMEDIA SPONSORED
JOE ZAWINUL GIG IN SANTA CRUZ.
SANTA CRUZ, CA (April 19th, 2004)-Joe Zawinul
is one of but a miniscule number of keyboard players that anyone
outside of the specifically keyboard-playing fraternity has actually
heard of or could actually name.
Credits ranging from Weather Report to Miles
Davis are only part of the answer. In addition to his prodigious
playing ability, Zawinul has always delighted in pushing the boundaries
of electronics, sound design, and MIDI control. So it is with great
pride that KEYFAX NewMedia sponsored The Zawinul Syndicate at Santa
Cruz’s famed jazz venue, the Kuumbwa, on April 19th. The
show is part of the 10 year anniversary festivities for Keyfax
NewMedia. MORE

01XPERIENCE DVD NOW SHIPPING
COMPLETELY FREE AT THE E-STORE - FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY!
SANTA CRUZ, CA (April
15th, 2004)-The 01xPerience, a full length instructional DVD for
the 01x is now shipping and, to coincide with the US launch of the
01x itself, is being made available completely free to everyone
in USA who registers
for the mailing list at 01xRay.com!
(Yamaha US has even asked us to offer early birds
who pre-ordered the DVD for $5 shipping charge a $5 discount coupon
at the 01x E-store, and we are happy to oblige. Please contact orders@01xRay.com
and we will send you a discount code.)
Filmed in Nashville and Los Angeles, the 01xPerience
looks at all aspects of this revolutionary product, from its duties
as a fully-fledged, digital mixer, to its considerable power as
a controller for Logic, Sonar, Cubase, and Digital Performer platforms.
Field tested in a Nashville studio during the
recording of a killer new track by solo artist Reggie Hamm (supported
by a collection of top Nashville players) the 01X was used, variously,
as an A/D input device, an FX processor, a mixer coordinating comps
and subgroups, and a control surface for Logic, the platform used
on the session.
In Los Angeles, the 01X was put through its paces
in a more controlled environment in order to detail, step by step,
everything from install procedures, to routings, to using some of
the VST Plug-ins that come with the 01X.
Running time is almost 2 hrs 30 minutes, and scenes
include a full virtual tour of the 01x accompanied by Studio Manager
(highlighting the power of being able to work seamlessly in both
hardware and software environments), step by step guides to setting
up the 01x as a controller for all the major DAWs (PC /Mac), controlling
plug-ins (native and third party), a complete button-by-button Reference
Guide, and a full recording session where the 01x can be seen being
put through its various paces by record producer Kent Hooper.
Cover price is $29.95 but until June 15th Yamaha
Corporation of America is making the DVD completely free of charge
in USA to everyone who registers
here at 01xRay.com. After June 15th we will be re-instating the
$5 shipping and handling charge, and after July 15th the DVD will
be on sale for the regular price.
The e-store on 01xRay.com
will also continue to offer the DVD completely free of charge (including
shipping) to anyone purchasing other items at the store. Currently
the store is featuring a cool range of high performance mics and
mic accessories, monitor speakers, a full range of music and recording
technology books and DVDs, VST plug-ins, and much more.

01X GETS MASSIVE PRESS COVERAGE
LONDON, UK (May 2, 2003)—Making the cover
and lead headline stories of almost every British, and indeed many
European magazines this month, 01X is already being hailed by the
press as a "brilliantly conceived product", and is already
making journalists go weak at the knees with anticipation. Almost
all agreed that 01X was the best product at the recent Frankfurt
Music Messe, with many hailing it as the product "we have all
been waiting for". Even the more commercial audio based press
are hailing it as a breakthrough product.
In the new few weeks 01X will be on tour across
Germany and at a special event in France in conjunction with one
of the major sequencer companies. Dates will follow soon, but if
you have the chance, go and take part in the 01Xperience.
