The Yamaha CS80 & CS70M - An Exploration of Two LEGENDS!

video upload by Vintage Synthesizer Solutions

"Please join us while we do a direct sonic comparison of these two classic Yamaha synthesizers. As is widely recognized, the CS80 is arguably the most legendary synthesizer ever made. Just under 800 units were produced at an MSRP of roughly $7000 each in 1978. The CS70m was the follow up flagship model and retailed for just under $5000 in 1981. We could not find the production total for the 70m (if anyone knows, please share in the comments!). However, like its sibling, I would guess that less than 1000 were made during its production run which ended in 1983 as Yamaha prepared to release the DX7.

While they do not sound identical by any means, we hope this video demonstrates how incredibly under recognized the CS70m is within the CS Poly family. It is the closest you can get to the CS80 in terms of feature set, voice architecture, and dual channel sound. For the prices people ask today for the CS50 and CS60, one would be smart to look for a 70m instead (IMHO!).

The audio is DIRECT & DRY - You are hearing the raw audio as it comes directly from each synthesizer. NO post processing (Effects or Dynamics) was done.

Thank you so much for watching! This channel is a passion project. We are just two hobbyists who share a deep passion for synthesizers. Please consider subscribing, we would greatly appreciate it! 🙏

**I am not a professional keyboardist! :)**
*On the CS80, the sliders labelled: "Sub Oscillator" = LFO*
Fun Fact: The CS80 has 8 voices; the CS70m has 6.

Oberheim OB-SX - 56 brand new presets - available as sys ex and EPROM image file

video upload by The Synth King

"New sounds for a preset synth ??

Breathe new life into your trusty Oberheim OB-SX !! You´ll get 56 brand new synth preset sounds as midi sysex file (for MLAB magic box user) and as EPROM image file replacing the old factory presets.

Honestly, this synth can do more than flutes, trumpets and clarinets. In my opinion it shines with juicy pads, cutting leads, fat unison basses and brassy synth sounds and that is exactly what you´ll get with this sound set.

KadImprov #14 | "Ocean Lullaby" | ProphetREV2 - Syntrx - Moog Mother32

video upload by KadiMusic

"'Ocean Lullaby'

I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with the Prophet REV2.
I've put together a multi-layered patch on the Rev2 featuring a soft triangle wave, an LFO triggered Cutoff, and a gentle left/right panning.

To add some extra depth to the track, I brought in some accents from the #syntrx and the #moog #mother-32. Together, they create a unique atmosphere that keeps things interesting and airy.

Thanks for watching and for your feedback.

Using the DB-01 for live dronescapes

video upload by Richard DeHove

"A simple way to perform live ambient dronescapes with the DB-01. Here I just use the DB-01 with a Strymon Timeline on the pattern delay setting. Ideally I would have changed the Timeline pattern but the delay can't handle the transition and completely cuts out. For a more 'hands-free' performance you could switch the LFO to 'sample and hold' and give it a little filter modulation for interesting filter echoes. Or put a few more steps into the DB-01 pattern and switch playback mode to 'random'. If there's any interest I'll do a part 2 for more techniques. The on-screen display is showing the left & right channels of the DB-01.

One of my favorite 80s songs ever
Alphaville - Forever Young (1984)

I used the Roland JX-3P for all synth pads (in original Jupiter-8).
The JX-3p is the best synth in my opinion for classic JP-8 sounds. Nearly identical sound.
I used the Logan String Melody 2 for all analog string sounds.
The add digital sounds are played with the PPG wave 2.2 synthesizer and the solo sound at the end of the track with the ARP Odyssey Mk.3
Drums are LinnDrum, Simmons, Samples

The Roland JX-3P Synthesizer from the year 1983 is a fantastic analog synth with the typical 80s sound. Here can you find the full JX-3P playlist with single sound demos and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy.

Nelasma - "Small Things" - Experimental Melodic Electronic Live Music - Modular Synth Jam Guitar

video upload by Nelasma

Below is a playlist featuring all of Nelasma's videos for those interested.

"It feels like my energy is slowly flowing back into my cells, maybe its the music haha...

I was playing around with the guitar to some beat and stumbled upon this small melodic movement. So I recorded it and put a moving low pass filter on it. So lets jam a bit with this! I thought. Not really techno or anything and I don't know what to label this kind of music.

Guess I'll make a playlist the coming days with electro or music I don't know how to label kek..

There are some clicks in the bass voice but I have no idea how and where they came from. And I wasn't in the mood to put on my debugger cap and play detective haha...

Really like how the guitar sounds in this one. I put some analog drive on it and played around with some octave shifting.. Also a rising delay with pitch warbles which I could control with a pedal.

There are some really nice parts in this jam tho as so often I think I could have done with less. Also I really could have started the movement of the bass voice much earlier hahaha...But no jam is perfect so up it goes ;)

Hope someone enjoys!

Really like

Here's to you my 'first few minutes' on a Korg Minilogue XD.

ASM Hydrasynth - NO TALKING demo

video upload by Andrea Di Lorenzo - Music Lab

"Hi, everyone!

Here's to you my NO TALKING DEMO of the amazing ASM Hydrasynth, the "best value for money" synthesizer out there IMHO.

In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning wavetable synthesizer simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful factory presets of the bank A.

Some specs:
◉ 2 x WaveScan Oscillators, 1 x Fixed Wave Oscillator, 1 x Noise Generator;
◉ 219 waveforms (wave morphing), 4 x Mutators Wave Shapers;
◉ 5 x LFO, Tempo syncable;
◉ Multimode Filter (11 types), Variable Filter (lowpass, bandpass, highpass);
◉ 5 x ADSR ; Delay, Hold, Looping;
◉ 4 x Reverbs, 5 x Delay, Chorus, Flanger, Rotary, Phaser, Lo-Fi, Tremolo, EQ, Compressor;
◉ 8 x Arpeggiators;
◉ Full polyphonic aftertouch;
◉ CV/Gate I/O;
◉ 32-path modulation matrix;
◉ and much more...

I really think this synthesizer is a sound designer's dream, with a unique sound and capable of producing from the most traditional to the most experimental, evolving and generative timbres."
