MOOG ONE SYNTHESIZER | Sounds, presets & ambient soundscapes 【SYNTH DEMO】

Published on Jan 5, 2019 synth4ever

"Moog One (16-voice) polyphonic analog synth demo featuring presets, sounds and ambient soundscapes -- including pads, arpeggiators, sequencer, leads, textures and drones. All sounds and effects are directly from the Moog One analog synthesizer, with no external processing other than some slight noise reduction.

The Moog One is Moog's first polyphonic analog synth in over 30 years. Available in 8-voice and 16-voice models, the Moog One’s polyphonic sound engine features the most powerful synthesizer architecture ever developed for a Moog instrument.

The Moog one has 3 newly-designed analog VCOs (triangle core w/ tri, saw and pulse waveshapes), with independent waveshaping per VCO, oscillator sync, ring mod, oscillator & filter FM, 2 independent multimode resonant analog filters (State Variable: HP, LP, BP, Notch... Ladder: LP, HP), a dual-source analog noise generator (red, white, purple) and an analog mixer.

It also has external audio input, 4 LFOs, 3 envelopes, an arpeggiator, sequencer, built-in Eventide effects, extensive modulation matrix, 61-note keyboard with aftertouch, XY-pad, and is 3-part mulitimbral for creative splits, layers and performances.

The Moog one is the culmination of Moog's research and development over a number of years to produce their most advanced polyphonic synthesizer yet. The Moog One has the ability to create vast ambient soundscapes, cutting leads, lush pads, deep bass, brash brass and complex harmonic textures."

ROLAND SH-5 - Analog Synth Demo | Sounds & Patches

Published on Apr 5, 2019 synth4ever

"Demo of the incredible Roland SH-5 analog synthesizer, featuring various sounds & patches. This Roland SH-5 synth demo features oscillator, LFO, filter, mixer and modulation tweaking to showcase various sounds and patches on the Roland SH-5.

The Roland SH-5 is an iconic and rare vintage monophonic synthesizer that was manufactured from 1976-1981. It features 2 VCOs (32' to 2' with triangle, saw, square and pulse waveforms), 2 LFOs (LFO1 = saw, reverse saw; LFO2 = triangle, sine, square) and 1 S&H with sample time & delay time.

The Roland SH 5 has 2 VCF filters: 1 multimode LP/BP/HP and 1 Bandpass, both with cutoff and resonance. 2 Envelopes (1 AR and 1ADSR) can be routed to filter, osc and amp, and there is env sensitivity and keyboard tracking on the filter. On the back of the SH-5 are various inputs/outputs for CV and other control.

Additional features include portamento, pitch bend, ring modulation, soft & hard sync, white & pink noise, external audio input, VCA panning, VCA-triggering via S&H, LFO2 or external trigger. A comprehensive Mixer section allows for routing of 5 audio signals through VCF, VCF+BPF, BPF, or direct to VCA.

The Roland SH-5 is a classic vintage synthesizer that can output massive bass, piercing resonance, create amazing textures/noise/FX, and of course leads and other standard tones. The additional bandpass filter is also a key feature that sets the Roland SH-5 apart from many other synths in terms of tone.

Roland SH-5 are becoming increasingly rare on the second hand market, often commanding high prices as many consider it to be the pinnacle of vintage Roland monosynths. If you have the opportunity to try a Roland SH-5, do not hesitate as it is a fantastic instrument."

KORG LAMBDA - Synthesizer Review, Sounds & Demo | Analog string synth

video upload by synth4ever

"Korg Lambda ES50 - Analog string synthesizer review, sounds and demo. This synth demo and review of the Korg Lambda ES50 provides an overview of the synth, functions, presets, effects and more. The Korg Lambda is a great vintage string synthesizer with lush sound and layering capabilities.

00:48 - Overview
02:49 - Percussive
06:06 - Ensemble
10:27 - Layering
11:46 - Detuning
12:59 - Joystick
14:07 - Effects
14:58 - Final Thoughts
17:22 - Conclusion

Released in 1979, the Korg Lambda is a fully polyphonic 48-key preset string synthesizer. There are two main sound generator sections on the Korg Lambda which provde 9 distinct presets: Percussive (Electric Piano, Clavi, Piano, Harmonics) and Ensemble (Brass, Organ, Choir, Strings I and II).

Each section has its own dedicated lowpass filter and decay envelope; in addition the Percussive section has adjustable tremolo and key click settings for the electric piano, while Ensemble has variable attack envelope, vibrato and a dedicated paraphonic filter for the brass sound.

The Korg Lambda uses divide-down technology via 3 top octave oscillators, and both the Percussive and Ensemble sections have their own independent volume controls to adjust as you play. The Korg Lambda also allows you to detune between both the Percussive and Ensemble sections for extreme chorus and phasing effects. In addition there is built-in ensemble and chorus effects which can be enabled or disabled via dedicated buttons. A joystick controls chorus rate/phase and pitch bend.

The Korg Lambda also features various connections on the back and outputs true full stereo which allows for some beautiful lush strings and pad sounds. The Korg Lambda is large and has nice wood casing, and sounds great. It allows you to quickly and easily stack presets to build large patches, and tweak the filters and volume levels as you play for an organic performance.

The Korg Lambda is somewhat rare on the second hand market and some consider it one of the finer string synthesizers considering its features, stereo output and filtering/detune/effects parameters. It excels at layering sounds and despite a limited number of presets, sounds lovely when all sounds are used on their own or together. Keep your eyes out for the Korg Lambda, as they are hard to find."

WALDORF WAVE - Synth Demo

video upload by synth4ever

"Waldorf Wave synth demo featuring various wavetable sounds, patches and presets. The Waldorf Wave is a huge and rare vintage wavetable synthesizer from 1993, and can create some incredible pads, soundscapes and crunchy sounds. This Waldorf Wave demo was filmed at the Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Los Angeles, September 2022.

The Waldorf Wave features digital wavetables, analog LPF and HPF filters, 16-48 voices of polyphony (depending on model), 61 keys with velocity and aftertouch, MIDI, and tons of buttons and knobs to tweak sounds to your liking.

The Waldorf Wave is a monster wavetable synthesizer in size and sound. As it is very rare and few were produced, it commands high prices on the second market. As an alternative, the Waldorf Microwave from 1989 is far more affordable.

I was lucky to have the chance to try this vintage Waldorf Wave during my visit to the Vintage Synth Museum and hope you enjoy the demo."
