Synkro

I’ve got a Roland JX-8P that I use quite a lot for basslines and a couple of Casio keyboards, including a HT-700.

The Microkorg is displayed numerous times throut the video. Example: 4:11

I try to keep the music as natural as I can, with as little editing or over-processing as possible. A lot of the melodic parts are all synth jams that I created using my Roland Juno-6, a Roland SH-101 and the Yamaha QY700 sequencer before I gradually started tracking into Ableton and putting percussive elements on top.

“Previously, I was using the standard Akai tape deck, but I’ve just bought a Tascam Portastudio 4-track, so if something sounds too clean or digital I’ll just run it through tape and resample it. I’ve also got a Korg Monotron Delay, so I’ll literally run stuff through that – they’re only £35.

In an interview with MusicRadar, Synkro discusses his use of the Korg Volca Keys in his Manchester studio. He describes experimenting with the Volca Keys by running its sounds through the Monotron Delay, achieving effects reminiscent of raw tape saturation or compression.
