A day with analog synths


YouTube via thomasalsina. Sent my way via Jez.
"December 2007, Marigny theater. That day, all the synths decided to give up on Jean Michel Jarre, who spent the day re-tuning them. And in the evening, the main synth lost its tune at the beginning of the show, leaving JMJ struggling to play the right note. Painful."

  1. The Memorymoog terrifies me, and this is only one reason.

  2. tuning synths can be a bitch. i teach a small electronic music class to homeschoolers and every other thing i say while theyre experimenting on my mono/poly is to never ever ever EVER touch the tuning.

  3. You have to give props to JMJ...most people this far into their career would be playing laptops(Throbing Gristle) or new synths like...what's that Korg...Triton's?

    And he looks like Nick Cave of the synth too?

  4. That was painful to watch. Bet his Virus Polar and Andromeda don't do that.

  7. I give him credit too. If he did this on laptops it would be extremely BORING. Many a performer would have just given up, gone to another synth or kicked it to the ground. He's very brave going out with all these analogs. I can't wait to get the DVD!! Just came out in US today. Maybe he should have lunch with Eddie Van Halen and his un-tuneable guitar.

  8. I've had a Memorymoog LAMM for several years with no issues. I can't imagine he doesn't have the LAMM upgrade with the improved tuning algorithms. Does anyone know for sure?

    My MM LAMM has been one of the most reliable vintage analogs in my setup....
