Teisco SX-400

via Sexor on this VSE thread.

"The Teisco SX-400 is a quite rare little beast that lies somewhere between a Mono/Poly and a Jupiter4. I'm not aware of anyone else on this forum having one, and to my knowledge there are only 2 or 3 in the whole of the Netherlands.

So, to demonstrate what a wonderful thing it really is I decided to make a song only with the Teisco. So, leads, pads, bass, effects - it's all made by the Teisco SX-400. I don't use a lot of processing except a little reverb and some compression. That beautiful ensemble effect is just the 'ensemble' button of the synth.

You can really feel how raw and analog the Teisco is when you play it. The four VCO's are 'nicely unstable' and as you can hear from the main lead line, the VCO tracking is quite shaky Shocked

As for drums, it's simply a Drumstation, a little bit of Drumatic VST and a tambourine.

The song is very much inspired by 80's italo disco and I find that the synth really excels at that genre - it is from 1980 after all, which means of course, no MIDI. Everything is played in manually.

So, without further ado, enjoy the sounds of the Teisco SX-400
