video upload by Acid Gray

"Dreamy Dub.Techno take on the Roland TR-808 (my favorite Kick of all times), the Roland RE-201 Space Echo and the Analog 4.

Additional field recordings done on Zoom H1e (also sounds much better than expected).

Live recorded in one take on 1010 BlueBox.
Sorry - got lost in dubchord filtering / space-echoing - so the track got much longer than I initially intended."

Simple Minds – Love Song / Themes for Great Cities
Thomas Dolby – Windpower

The aim here is simple: let you hear what the Jupiter-4 really sounds like on classic records, while also giving you a clear view of the keyboard, performance and sound settings as each part is played.

Everything in this video is played on the actual Roland Jupiter-4 — one of the most distinctive vintage analogue synths of the early 80s, known for its raw tone, punchy filter, unique arpeggiator and unmistakable character.

Inside the 505 String Machine with Dan Chmielinski & Troels Folmann


video upload by Soundpaint

"Get the 505 String Machine here: https://soundpaint.com/products/505-e...

Go inside the making of one of the most iconic string machines ever captured.

Troels Folmann and Dan “Chimy” Chmielinski break down the process behind 505 String Machine, from obsessive ultra-deep sampling to preserving the raw character of the legendary Roland RS-505 String Machine. This is more than a recreation. It is a deep dive into the philosophy, detail, and decisions that bring a classic instrument back to life.

Used by artists like Vangelis, The Police, Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Herbie Hancock, the RS-505 helped define the sound of an era. Often living in the shadow of the Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer, it was the evolving texture underneath. The movement, the depth, the feeling."

AIR Music Tech & Akai Professional Introduce Fabric Vintage Synths Vol. 1


video upload by AIR Music Tech

"Three legendary analog synths. One modern synthesis environment. https://inmusic.to/2p977r6r

From lush pads to punchy basses and soaring leads, Fabric Vintage Synths, Vol 1 channels the sonic character of three iconic hardware synthesizers, bringing new creative inspiration to your MPC or DAW-based workflow.

Inspired by three of the most influential analog polysynths ever created, this collection includes the Fabric Vintage Pro, Fabric Vintage Jup, and Fabric Vintage Memorymoog. Each instrument in this collection captures the sonic DNA of cherished 1970s and 1980s polyphonic synthesizers and places it inside a powerful, modern instrument designed for how producers, composers, and synthesists work today.

These instruments have been reimagined through the AIR Advanced Multi-Sample Synthesis Fabric Engine for flexible, intuitive music-making. This shared engine allows each synth to retain its unique identity while benefiting from a common, modern workflow across MPC hardware and desktop DAWs."

Soundpaint 505 String Machine Walkthrough - The Secret Weapon of Vangelis


video upload by Soundpaint

"Grab the 505 String Machine here: https://soundpaint.com/products/505-e...

505 String Machine is the definitive ultra-deep sampled (UDS™) string machine. The most detailed sampling of the legendary RS-505 Paraphonic ever done.

The secret weapon of Vangelis. While the CS-80 became the icon, the RS-505 was the warmth underneath, equally present across his most celebrated work. Essential on records by The Police, Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Herbie Hancock. The string machine that shaped the sound of an entire era.

505 String Machine includes expertly crafted programs built from extensively UDS™ sampled parts, capturing every nuance of the original hardware’s divide-down oscillators and analog ensemble chorus. That constantly shifting, organic phase movement that makes the RS-505 impossible to replicate with synthesis is preserved in full detail. Expanded with our custom 505 C.A.F™ modeled filter for deeper sound design while staying true to its analog soul. The result is instant tone and deep creative flexibility.

"The Roland MKS-7, also known as the "Super Quartet" is a vintage, multi-timbral rackmount synthesizer module from the '80s that packs a lot into one unit: combines sounds and architecture from the Juno-106 (for melody, chord, bass parts) with drum sounds from the Roland TR-707, all in a single 2U box.

Features four separate MIDI-controllable sections (Melody, Chord, Bass, Rhythm), allowing you to play drums, bass, pads, and leads simultaneously, making it a versatile, all-in-one vintage sound source for MIDI setups.

This unit has been fully tested and includes AC power cable."

"The Roland SH-5 is possibly the most feature rich vintage mono synth ever made by the legendary Japanese company. With 2 LFO's, 2 VCO's, 1 variable state VCF, 1 bandpass filter, 2 Envelopes, 1 VCA, S&H, Ring Mod and a simple but powerful switch matrix for routing modulation this synth is more than capable of making some of the most incredible tones and textures you can imagine!

Made in the late 1970's 'green face' Roland era, when their synths had a certain magic sound that is hard to describe. Fizzling and alive with electricity!

A handful of patch points on the back give you access to all the essential controls via CV so that this can play along nicely with a modern set-up.

This particular SH-5 has just been fully serviced in our Synthesizer Rejuvenation and Wellness Centre and comes with a 90 day warranty of good health. Original lid included."
