Favourite Synths : Episode 3 : Roland JUNO-6

video upload by Luke Million

"For Episode 3 of My Favourite Synths, we are diving into the world of the Roland Juno Series with their first offering - the Juno 6.

It's an extremely straightforward synthesizer and can sound thinner than the big Poly Synths of that time. But I find this can be a positive with tighter sounds and there is the famous Chorus effect on there to beef things up and give the sound extra dimension.

It is like a 6 voice polyphonic version of the SH-09 with a digitally controlled oscillator, chorus and an arpeggiator.

The perfect first synth for someone who wishes to start a journey into the world of hardware synths and wants something vintage that is reliable.

More Episodes to come so stay tuned!

Favourite Synths : Episode 2 : Oberheim OB-8

video upload by Luke Million

"In Episode 2 of 'My Favourite Synths' we're taking a look at my favourite synth of all time, the Oberheim OB-8

I have used this Polyphonic Analog Powerhouse on nearly every original song, official remix, recreation and audio/visual project I have produced since I acquired it over 15 years ago.

And this is my longest video to date, clocking in at just over 30 minutes!

The OB-8 is recorded through a Universal Audio Volt 476 and the individual voice panning is set to about a 20% width.

Released in 1983, the Oberheim OB8 is a premium analog synthesizer with 8 voices of polyphony, the ability to split and double sounds, individual panning for each of the voices, 3 LFOs, Polyphonic Portamento and an Arpeggiator."

"I'm revisiting one of my favourite movie themes of all time composed by Harold Faltermeyer with a full length cover of The Theme from Beverly Hills Cop - 'Axel F'.

In the original, Harold used a Jupiter 8, JX-3P, Moog Model 15 and DX7 paired with a Linndrum.
