I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's so rare on TH-cam to see a synth demo done by someone who can actually PLAY. Normally it's "let's press a few random keys and turn the cutoff up and down. Now let's play one chord and do the same". Very nice to see the OB-8 used properly.
I know what you mean. I've compliled a playlist for myself of synth demos to remind me what's on the market and with the majority of them the playing ain't good. I mean, half the time I think if you're not that great playing live you could at least write a little tune or play a few selected midifiles, but no, mostly it's just random keys being pressed.
I reckon Katsunori is just about the best synth guy on all of TH-cam. He plays actual music on these instruments, rather than bleep-bloop and random noises.
sounds like the old 80s demos that my father use to do by only using a Prophet5, jx8p yamaha rx21 and a tascam 80-8 or the portastudio 144,,,, good times

One of the best synths ever, played by a really excellent musician.

Japanese Robert DeNiro lol.

Oberheim OB-8 is Fantastic but the man who play this IS FANTASTIC
all his videos are great
いつものことながら超楽しそう
いいなー。いいなー。
Those brass chords, what a great sound
Boy this takes me back! I remember doing all this on a 8 track Teac deck and ping-ponging to free up extra tracks.
Amazing! Greaaat and very talented player and musician!!! Mr. Katsunori Ujiie! I love to watch your videos :)
The most fun synth demo!
man you can ride a baseline, awesome
Master, Please accept me as your disciple.
I'll be the Keyboard Kid.
Great demo!! You're the man! :)
That's the same thing he played in the DX7IID multitrack. Great.
What a groove! Nice one master :D
We need more track making !!
This is wonderfull! More of this!
DAT SOLO... simply delicious.
That solo just melted my face clean off
To fully appreciate this sound you need to hear it with other brands of synthesiser.
I'm so glad I found this channel!
Best guitar solo I've ever heard.
This is one of the best sounding keyboards I've ever heard.
finally a real player and not playing blade runner!
Ujiie... you're the man
that solo!!! oustanding!!
Simply great !! :D
oh my ..... those chords with the pad 0:45 ~ 1:02
This is so cool, man! Keep it Up! Cheers!
love Ujiie
killer sync solo at the end.. sync sounds are god given for pitch bend play..
( ▽∀▽) ( ▽∀▽) ( ▽∀▽) いいですね いいですね いいですね～☆
80sエレポップ風なの大好きです。アドリブでここまで一瞬で出来てしまう神業、堪能させて頂きました。
Oh man, this is the best track so far!
At first I was skeptical about that bass sound, but it sounds amazing with the drums, reminds me of an overdriven electric bass.
OB-8 sits very well in the mix
Master at work
a master at work! suki-da!!!
Sounds like something from Pilot Wings 64. Very cool!
Ine, ine! your playing is magnificent! :D
man, more track making please !!!
this guy is funky
Thank you for that
You are great :D
WOW! Great solo!!!
Such an elegant and tidy man.... 13:46 OHHHH AGUANTE PONJA DALE FUERTE A LA CHAPA!!!!
sounds like the old 80s demos that my father use to do by only using a Prophet5, jx8p yamaha rx21 and a tascam 80-8 or the portastudio 144,,,, good times
love the multi tracking:)
Brilliant
Phantastic!
This guy is so cool and cold! Music.
This dude is the fucking master! Sho'nuff!
Ujiie, I love you so much man !!! Cubase in Japanese, lol.
The pad at the beginning is absolutely beautiful (especially since the synth's tuned a bit sharp)-does anybody know how he made that patch?
+CompuCat ancient chinese secret
+chieftp Shadow Warrior!
+CompuCat He's Japanese.
My dream synth. The first extra $9000 I get, I get this synth, so......any eon now. Money no object-I’d take this before a CS-80.
Wait for the UB-Xa like the rest of us, and save $8000 :-)
Le son analogique c'est trop bien.
Nothing like the real late 70's and 80's synths. OB pad an brass mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
sounds like something Prince would have done 😎
01:32 80's!!! "Dancuh popuh"
You could make a 3 min track out of the first patch he played alone.
oh man..i wish i could find notes that quick ;)
heehee, he said, "let's jump in and see how it works out." go ahead and jump.
Genius :)
Nice synth and track! What chorus effect do you use?
Wonderful and beautiful video. Can anyone tell me which multi-track software does this master use?
Cubase. Check Reaper - www.reaper.fm/ for a similar (better?) but much cheaper DAW.
best solo ever! :D
Asian George Duke
あなたは伝説です
Anata wa densetsudesu
:') Great Great stuff! Put a track so we can enjoy listening you more and more!!!! :)
I'm so glad synths are smaller now. That thing is Huuuuuuggee.
Katsunori-sensei, do you have any music available for purchase?
Yukihiro Takahashi (YMO)
this is genius!
what recording software are u using
00:45 is this from a song?
The solo is brilliant!
JUMP!
thats what i said :DDDDD
Anata ha Tensai!!
Remind me of Outrunners soundtrack.
I don't know what he's saying, but I know what he's saying if you know what I'm saying.
+Landon Balk You don't say?
+Landon Balk I sure do know what he's saying... He's saying: "Japanese Japanese 80s Japanese Japan Synth Japan Japanese Brassu Track Making." :P
He is saying " make it Funky"
;-)
I played this level in Sonic Adventure!
WoW
I'd love to know how to play a piano / synthesizer ... But by now I have 23 years.
For some reason this reminded me of coming to america LOL
