Bonus tip: sampling a chord and playing it across the keys would have the affect of 'baking in' 100% keyboard to filter cutoff tracking. If you want to replicate that too press Shift+Pad 7 (Filter Kybd) and turn this up to maximum
Glad to help. The S-1 is a great little synth, an excellent one to learn on. So yeah if I think of other sounds to recreate etc I'll be sure to include it
Yeah it is awesome 😁 You should be able to replicate the patch on the JX08 but I don't think it has a chord mode so you may need to sample it like they did originally
Yeah I love it too. I just wanted to focus on the pad. There's a few other tutorials that talk about the rest of it like this one: th-cam.com/video/pKAst6LQCrs/w-d-xo.html
Thank you 😁 I looked at the J-6 but I found the chord machine\preset synth vibe too strong for me. I like the look of the T-8 though and I bought the with the E-4 because she likes to do some crazy stuff with her voice
I've never really held any nostalgia for any specific synth to be honest, I'm far more interested in what specific tools a synth offers, what makes in unique (compared to the other gear I own) and the sound design potential that offers. I like versatile gear too so being funneled down the preset and chord route really isn't for me
@@Dork2099 🤣 Get the caps from Thonk. All of my AIRA's have color-coded caps throughout, that follow Roland's color-coding scheme. They feel great to play. the caps just need a thin shim between each cap and shaft, to hold them on firmly, so they do not rub on the face plate, or come loose, as you turn them. I have an image on my channel of all three fully capped. 😉
@@atetraxx I was just answering another comment with some thoughts about that. I can see that it's a very powerful machine, especially for the price and it's size but the amount of menu diving and shift functions you're expected to memorize is a bit too much, the S-1 got this bang on by comparison. I have the same problem with the TE OP-Z which I own but I've never finished a single thing on because I have to keep looking up what all the cryptic LEDs mean. Also I already own samplers through my work with Sonicware which will do what I want without so much stress 😅
I've just had a go at that seeing as you asked because I've got one of those too. It's not the most authentic recreation and you'll need external chorus and reverb, perhaps try a Korg NTS-1 or Zoom MS70CDR for that, but if you want to have a go try this: Set Attack to 0, cutoff eg Int to 0, Oct to 3, peak to 0, cutoff to 7, LFO Int to 0, pitch 1 to Off, pitch 2 to 4n, pitch 3 to 11n. On keys use vco group 3 (Func +M3) 3 saw waves (Func+ M8,9&10 off). The play pads 9, 11, 4 and 6 for the sequence. It misses out the 3rd note of the chord but this is the 'fifth' as it's called which is the least important for character here. Also make sure you leave the Volca on a bit so the auto calibration kicks in and it tunes itself, otherwise it may sound very off 🥴
@Beliar_VR If you leave the Volcas alone for a minute without playing them a few LEDs will flash inside in sequence. This is it automatically tuning it's own oscillators so it will sound more in tune after they've finished flashing
I didn't even check that to be honest 😄 It's whichever the default one is with default settings, I would usually adjust that kind of thing to fit in a mix as I'm making a track but it just seemed to work well as is
I’m still amazed how much functionality is packed into this tiny box. The menu diving does my head in though 🫤 sounds awesome which is the main thing 👍🏼
@@Lo-Fi-Si I actually think they did a pretty good job of keeping the menu diving to a minimum. Most of the Shift+Knob functions are intuitive and I'm fine with things like shift and a key to toggle portamento, but yeah once you start trying to decipher the deeper functions where you have to keep the manual handy I'm not very keen. I thought they went way too far with menu diving on the new P-6 though. It's clearly very powerful for its size and price but I couldn't even get though the Loopop tutorial 😅

As a novice I really appreciate this. I’d never be able to get these kind of sounds out on my own thank you. Would love to see more patch tutorials
Glad to help. The S-1 is a great little synth, an excellent one to learn on. So yeah if I think of other sounds to recreate etc I'll be sure to include it
Ah man, that sounds so good
Beautiful.. Thanks for this!
One of the best S1 videos I've seen. Great video! 😃😃😃
Thank you, glad you like it 😁
Thanks mate great video
In a sense... this sound is all I really ever wanted from ALL of my synths :D Gonna try on JX-08...
Yeah it is awesome 😁 You should be able to replicate the patch on the JX08 but I don't think it has a chord mode so you may need to sample it like they did originally
Dang, I think i have to buy one of these😁
Nice break down.Easy to follow,thanks.
Glad to help, have fun 😁
This is excellent, I just followed along and made my own tweaks and I have a great new pad sound, thanks 😊👍
Glad to help, have fun 😁
Thank you for sharing these amazing techniques! I’m excited to try out this sound myself.
Thanks for watching, glad you found it useful
I love that song. You forgot the seagulls sound
Yeah I love it too. I just wanted to focus on the pad. There's a few other tutorials that talk about the rest of it like this one: th-cam.com/video/pKAst6LQCrs/w-d-xo.html
It's a Common Loon bird.
You just got yourself a subscriber there Jack! Big 808 State fan from way back!
Thanks very much. Yeah this track particularly had a big influence on me all those years back, proper nostalgia triggering for me 😁
Brilliant stuff Chris.
Thank you 😁
Yup, that's for sure the sound! Now do it on the J-6. 😉 I love my S-1, J-6, and T-8!
Thank you 😁 I looked at the J-6 but I found the chord machine\preset synth vibe too strong for me. I like the look of the T-8 though and I bought the with the E-4 because she likes to do some crazy stuff with her voice
@@ChrisLodyMusicThe J-6 does a great job recreating a range of different Juno-60 sounds, so you have to be a Juno fan, to love it. I am.

@@ChrisLodyMusic I love my J-6.
Dang it Lody the S1 is the one AIRA I’ve managed to avoid! Stop making it look so good. 😂
Ha sorry about that but the S-1 is really good 😅💰
Some, including myself, feel the S-1 is the best of the bunch, so far. I have the S-1, J-6, and T-8, and love all three a lot.

Very nice. You ever think about getting the p-6?

The ones that brought you bring you
This is awesome! Can you make it with volca bass too?

@@ChrisLodyMusic thank you for the quick response! 😮 i've just both avaible. I'll try it!!
What do you mean with auto calibration?

Thank you! Which reverb type?
