Synclavier II Hardware In 2 Minutes

video upload by Synclav com

"This is year number 27 for Synhouse.

Synhouse has fully restored and shipped many, many dozens of systems in the last three decades and this work continues in 2026.

Shown here is the testing of a Synclavier computer bin card set without needing the synthesizer voices yet (it ended up with 8 original style mono Synclavier II synthesizer voices). This Control Unit is used as a test box at Synhouse. Once testing was completed, the cards were moved to a freshly restored ATS 3-level enclosure chosen by the client.

Relatively few Synclavier IIs were made, and this is the super vintage hardware setup.

Synhouse stocks these systems and parts and Synhouse manufactures this hardware and has them in the Synclavier store on the Synclav.com website.

Inside the ARP Factory: The Design Flaw That Destroyed America's Synth Empire

video upload by Industries from the Past

Update: looks this one was AI generated. Leaving it up for history's sake. Thanks goes to lfrancis in the comments for catching it.

"In the 1970s, ARP Instruments ruled the electronic music world. Founded by NASA engineer Alan R. Pearlman, ARP captured 40% of the global synthesizer market. Their legendary instruments gave a voice to R2-D2, communicated with aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and fueled hits by Stevie Wonder and David Bowie. Yet, by 1981, this American tech empire was bankrupt. What went wrong?

This video explores the incredible rise and devastating fall of ARP. We uncover how the company was destroyed from the inside out by a single disastrous bet: the Avatar. Pushed through by management over Pearlman's fierce objections, this flawed guitar synthesizer suffered from crippling latency and diverted crucial funds away from keyboard innovation. Discover the tragic story of how poor leadership and a 40-millisecond design flaw silenced a historic factory, leaving behind a musical legacy that outlived the company itself."

Akai MPC Sample Song Mode Demo: Nu-Jazz Funk with Your Old Pal Keith

video upload by Keith Crosley

"The Akai MPC Sample is a whole lot of fun, in a very portable package. But it's so addictive, I haven't had the time to do a proper review. (Also, I don't think such a review is fair until the release of the next firmware update.) SO... Here, we leverage my ginormous sample library of vintage beats, ephemeral film soundtracks, and even some weird symphonic arcs to realize a little track about "Precision-Controlled Pleasure". Grab your rhythm stick and get ready to kick it old-school San Francisco chillout style with this abbreviated MPC-A-GO-GO episode of your favorite (non)talky synthesizer content show!"

2 Solenoids, A Snare Drum and a Ratcheted Sequence with Maths

video upload by Izhar Ashdot Sound & Vision

"These days of war take me back to the modular—its randomness, its sense of probability, and the inspiration it provides.
It’s also an opportunity to dive deeper into some of the more complex modules and really learn them.

A ratcheting exercise with Maths led to a lovely sequence that called for live drums—and that was my cue to return to my solenoids.

At the beginning of the video, you’ll hear the raw sound of the snare in the room, followed by the recorded version of it in the context of the track.

Happy to answer any questions."
