STR-1 engine power: non-typical use of the engine
Most videos focus on STR-1 as a plucked string engine. Of course, it is one.
But the crazy possibilities of sound design really show off when we approach the STR-1 for sounds that are NOT plucked string type.
A few examples and tutorial on how one can go nuts with STR-1 way , WAY beyond plucked instrument sounds:
Youtube demo and tutorial

Indeed, it is very underrated somehow, maybe because it is seen as just some specialised engine for just plucked string sounds - not sure, but like you say, it has very very few videos and all, except the Qui Robinez soundset one , show only the plinky-plonky plucked side of it

STR-1 sounds
Aether,
Will you "share" some new STR-1 sound with us?
I mean can you post a PCG file with new, self made, sounds?
greetings,
rob

I use a Taperecorder too......
Re: STR-1 sounds
I am planning to put together a bank and have some free bits, just couldn't predict or commit to a specific time - I hope quite soon.robbie50 wrote:Aether,

I think your unusual programming is very interesting and we can learn a lot about the STR-1 engine from your patches.
You are underrating your work!

Thank you, quite flattered I mean it is my first ever "tutorial" (whatever it can be called) video so I had huge reservations myself and imagined everybody falls asleep 
One thing some commented on YT quite rightly is that the audio from Kronos and the voice are very different so it can be quite annoying and makes one jump. So will try a better job at that in future

That was me. I try to do a test run these days to check how loud the Kronos is compared to my voice. Even then getting the levels right can be tricky, especially when going through so many sound examples like you were.aether wrote:Thank you, quite flattered I mean it is my first ever "tutorial" (whatever it can be called) video so I had huge reservations myself and imagined everybody falls asleep

Have you tried using the Kronos Editor? Screen recording the editor is a lot cleaner than recording the Kronos screen IMO.
That said, it IS a good video with great talking points. I don't want my criticism to dissuade you from making more content. STR-1 is long overdue for some nice tutorials.
