Roland SH-5 Vintage Analog Synthesizer

via this auction

"Here is a Roland SH-5 monophonic analog synthesizer with multimode filter, recently serviced, ready to play and record. US voltage. All functions work, and it happily stays in tune rather well for a mid-70s analog synth.

Cosmetically, there are some scratches on the metal panels and on the tolex and on the end caps. It shows the expected wear of a 45-year old instrument, but no grievous signs of abuse or maltreatment. If you are looking for a minty museum piece, this is not the SH-5 for you. But if you are looking for a solidly working, playable SH-5, please continue, and see the photos for the best impression."

"Super warm sounding vintage analog polysynth

It has been extensively serviced (all key contacts cleaned, all tact switches renewed, power supply recapped), And it has MIDI IN fitted !

It's in a very beautiful, well preserved condition. Smoke free and clean.

Everything is working perfectly, and the great analog sound quality speaks for itself."

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland JD-08. Is this digital synthesizer, member of the Roland Boutique family and miniscule version of the somewhat legendary Roland JD-800 a worthwhile alternative to the 1991 original? Did they emulate the red glue too? Is this synth just ri-di-cu-lous ?

I carpe diemed the hell out of Beeple's public domain VJ loops in the finale:

Hologram Microcosm: Electric Piano and Mono Synth

video upload by Hologram Electronics

"In addition to its eccentric effects, Microcosm can be used in more traditional sound design contexts too!

🎹 The electric piano here (Hohner Pianet) has no onboard effects. With Microcosm's Looper Only mode, we created a chorus + reverb effect to run the Pianet through."

Electric Avenue by Eddy Grant from the year 1982
Recreation by RetroSound

I used here the Moog Minimoog (1978) for all sound parts.

The Moog Minimoog Synthesizer is one of the big legendary synths in music history. Used by many pop and rock groups in the 70s, 80s and today. Here can you find the full Minimoog playlist with a lot single sound demos, synth comparisions and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy.
