Database: r beny On Uncanny Valley Acoustic-Like Sounds

“Currently, one of my favorite synthesizers is the Korg Z1. 80% of the sound sources on this album are the Z1, whether heavily processed or not.”

“I love the uncanny valley acoustic sounds that physical modeling synths produce and the [Korg] Z1 is just an absolute gem in that regard. For myself, physical modeling is not about replicating the sound of true-to-life acoustic instruments, but rather creating patches that have acoustic characteristics. As a synth from the 90s, it’s not the quickest or most pleasant synth to program, but it just has a certain charm I’m drawn to. The keyboard also feels wonderful to play.”
