"14 band Vintage Vocoder from Electro Harmonix, recently serviced. All tant-capacitors has been replaced for electrolyte and the output stage op-amps has been replaced.
Works 100% and has a raw vintage sound to it, especially with hi-boost enabled. This is a 42 year old electronic instrument, so don't expect a modern sounding instrument."
A collection of classic and reimagined chip sounds inspired by hardware classics like the SID Station, Commodore 64, Game Boy and more, 8-Bit Synth opens the gates to brand new sonic adventures with the genuine sounds of these classic machines!
A fantastic instrument for crafting chip tunes and beyond, 8-Bit Synth digs deep into the capabilities of the hardware and delivers a surprisingly sweet range of sounds covering everything from classic video game favorites to modern genre-style patches. Don't let the arcade-inspired exterior fool you, while definitely packed with fun 8-Bit Synth is a serious and versatile instrument covering a broad sonic palette."
"The Korg MS-20 FS is the latest full size reissue of this classic synth. I just got it in the studio and was really curious how it compares to the legacy plugin version I've been using for years already. The results are quite interesting as there are some surprising differences

"The first part of a series were I'll have some fun creating a track that's typical for a specific time frame. In part one I'll create a trance track as you would have heard them in the clubs in the late 90's.
In the video I'm using my old battle scarred Yamaha CS1x, Dexed, Super 7, the Roland SH-101, JV-1080 and TR-909 plugins and last but not least the Korg M1.

And one with only the CS1x:
More late 90's trance with the Yamaha CS1x
"There are many blue 90's synths, but this one is mine. Lets see what the CS1x can still do and create a full late 90's trance track using this synth as only sound source.
It may not be a Roland JP8000 or a Novation Supernova but this blue beauty still deserves a spot in my studio in 2021 !

"I'm in the process of patching up an old Korg M1 I recently acquired. What better way to test drive than creating some classic house using the famous piano and organ patches. I even threw in some of its drums.
Next to the Korg M1 I used the Roland cloud TR-909. The Arturia DX7 and Stage V and some old school vocal samples.
