"A little chord sequence and sounds inspired by the (combined) Stranger Things soundtrack.
There are many layers of synths packed into this one minute:

Sequential Prophet VS Strings
Arturia Prophet VS Filtered Strings
Arturia CS-80 arpeggio
Roland Juno-106 Bells
Roland JX-8P Pad
Kawai K3m Bass"

Pits Playground & Perfect Pads 2 - Soundsets for Waldorf Iridium & Quantum synthesizer.

video upload by WaldorfMusicChannel

"https://waldorfmusic.com/produkt/soun...

With loving attention to detail, Pit created 69 patches that showcase the extensive synthesis capabilities of the Iridium/Quantum family. The sound set combines analogue warmth with digital precision. Special emphasis was placed on the interaction between playing and sound generation: thanks to extensive modulation routings, an organic flow is created that makes playing inspiring and lively. Ideal for losing yourself completely in the sound.

The sound palette includes Moog-style leads and basses, assertive brass and poly synths, PPG and Prophet VS-style wavetable sounds, as well as digital pads and atmospheric textures. Pre-made sequences, arpeggios and overloaded effects have been deliberately omitted. Instead, you get dynamically playable instruments that enrich your musical expression.

A real playground for lovers of ‘real’ synthesizer sounds.

Pit is a real synthesizer freak. He discovered his love for synthesizers and electronic music back in the early 80s. His collection includes legendary synthesizers such as the EMC Rehberg VCS3, Oberheim OB8, Minimoog and Memorymoog, to name but a few. And of course an Iridium Keyboard."

Perfect Pads 2 - Soundset for Waldorf Iridium & Quantum synthesizer.

video upload by WaldorfMusicChannel

"https://waldorfmusic.com/produkt/soun...

The second edition of the Perfect Pads collection, this time with 34 brand new meticulously crafted pad patches for the wonderful Iridium & Quantum synthesizer.

This pack makes use of the various native sound engines of the Iridium/Quantum, which are blended with high-quality recordings of some of the fantastic analog pad synths like the OB-X8 and ISE-NIN.

The result is another highly usable pack of presets with some of the widest and warmest pads available on the Iridium & Quantum, immediately usable for many different music genres or a great starting point for further tweaking."

A path in the dark | Sequential Prophet VS and Rhodes Piano ambient soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"Two years ago I was playing with my kids with a little yamaha piano, the christmas tree lit, we were looking forward to a relaxing and fun holiday... but that's when my mom called me and asked, "Did you mean what you said? Would you really be willing to come down to be with me?" She was so scared. I dropped everything and drove down (about 1.5 hr drive) to be with her. I'll never forget the look on her face - panic, fear, anguish... I don't know how to describe the look, but it was painful to see. I gave her a big hug as she cried. Looking back, I think she knew it was time, I think she knew her body was failing and was failing fast. I was determined to stay positive, but I watched her move. The exhaustion after only a few steps. I'm glad I didn't realize that it would be only 4 more days before I would lose her forever......."

Korg Wavestation: Classic 90s Digital Synth Power

video upload by Espen Kraft

"The Korg Wavestation AD from the early90s. The bastard child of the Sequential Prophet VS.
This is the demo song from my much longer Korg Wavestation video from 2020. It's still available on my channel right here.
Everything in this demo song is coming from the Wavestation AD (module) I use. The Wavestation AD is also the only Wavestation model that has analog inputs and can be used as a vocoder, which you also can hear in this video. To use my own voice as a patch I use the WaveRex PCM card."

Evolving Riddle

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Some ambient fun on 90’s synths

I used to be afraid of 90s synths - very afraid

My album 20 Systems stopped short of the 90s because I was scared of what happened next - it went all Rompler, and workstation, and presets, and tiny complicated interfaces with tiny silly screens and, like, two buttons to navigate the most complex synths ever made

But recently, I am learning to love my 90s synths. Some of the best and most beautiful sounding instruments were made in the 1990s and here are four of them - the Alesis Quadrasynth (1993) , a true 4-Layer Rompler with dual integrated FX units. The Yamaha TG33 desktop synth (1990) - using a hand-me-down straight from the Sequential Prophet VS, including a crazy vector-dial. Thirdly, the Waldorf Microwave-2 (1997) - a direct descendant of the PPG Wave series of wavetable synths. And finally the Roland JV1080 (1994) - their flagship Rompler derived from (and vastly expanded upon) the legendary D50 LA synth

I also added a plethora of vintage FX units to the mix (through the Neve 88D) - a Lexicon Model 200, Prime Time 95, AMS RMX16, Quantec QRS, and Eventide H3000 (the blue one) for good measure

The video doesn’t matter here - it’s about the s o u n d today

Thanks for listening"

Access Virus TI Soundscape | Sit and Rest

video upload by MIDERA

"I wish I could say what's been going on in my life, to complain about some of the stuff that has happened. It's not good, but not something I want to share publicly (nothing health related or anything). Just... huge letdowns.

Anyway - I'm here, still trying. I want to come back to something and say: I think the Virus TI is still my favorite synth in my studio... Coming back from the Moog Muse and thinking 'Huh, I didn't know I could do this on the TI.' The only thing I really wish the TI had was Filter FM, that's kind of a bummer - but I guess since it has oscillator FM, that can be maybe a more exact approach to a similar sound? And I know the LFOs can't go fast enough to simulate Filter FM (I tried, but after a certain frequency, pitch won't affect the rate like it should, so it won't work).

But... the Virus is something. After all these years it still impresses me. It STILL gets me feeling joy. Something not a lot of synths offer.

Like, the fact that it has those 'analog' filters (which are supposed to model the Moog filters?), they sound damn good. And something you might not think about is OSC VOLUME Saturation Type which can affect how the filter resonance sounds? I mean, this stuff can really change the sound in the most interesting way.

Don't know why I have half the crap I have to be honest... I've thought about selling the Prophet VS, Jupiter 6, and a whole lot of other things. They don't really bring me joy. But the Virus... it still does, and I've had this thing since 2012."

Sequential Circuits' final synth. The Prophet VS

video upload by RetroSound

"(c)2007-25 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

❤️ Support #RetroSound​ channel: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com

The Prophet VS was the last synthesiser to be released under the Sequential Circuits name. After the takeover by Yamaha in 1987, the following synthesisers were released under the Yamaha name.

Here is a demo track only made with the Sequential Prophet VS vector synthesizer from the year 1986. I use only self programmed sounds and the internal arpeggiator.

Sequential Circuits' last synthesiser in the 1980s was the Prophet VS, a hybrid synthesiser that was launched in 1986. It was the last synthesiser developed by Sequential Circuits before the takeover by Yamaha.

The Prophet VS was a digital synthesiser that differed from the company's previous analogue models. It was based on vector synthesis, a technique that made it possible to mix between different waveforms to create complex and versatile sounds. Although the Prophet VS was a digital synthesiser, it included a number of features that set it apart from other digital synthesizers of its time, such as its ability to change and manipulate sounds in real time.

The age of sadness | Sequential Prophet VS and Rhodes Piano somber improvisation w Fractal Audio FM3

"In the distance I saw the clouds, and with them a rainbow. It appeared so tranquil, so peaceful. And then it was gone. Just like that. Just like us.

Fractal Audio FM3 was used to loop the Prophet VS. I played on top of that with the Rhodes Piano.

No external FX used."

"It's been a month. As I said, my wife lost her job in May. We hoped she would get a job that seemed like a great fit, someone had reached out to her and said she'd be perfect. Guess they didn't think so later. Oh well.

I did manage to extract all the audio from my old Roland VS-840GX. I kind of wish I was still recording using that thing, it was so good for just sitting down without a screen and recording whatever I wanted, but using a DAW is just so much nicer.

I had half written the rhodes part on this track, when I ended up recording something else that I plan to put into a rock track (yes, I am trying to get back into writing that type of music). Came back to this last night and recorded this, with some changes. Funny how walking away and coming back to something helps you change it for the better.

I used the Fractal Audio FM3 as a looper to loop the first part and then played everything else over it. The Rhodes and Prophet VS was performed in one go, the guitar was done in a second round with Eventide Blackhole VST for reverb.

Well, I hope you enjoy this - my first track written in a month."

"This is a Sequential Prophet-VS in excellent working condition, professionally serviced and tested by a former Sequential engineer in Japan.

Cosmetically rated "Good" due to minor touch-up spots visible on the surface.

These areas were professionally treated to prevent rust and ensure long-term durability.

Functionally, the unit performs excellently (except for aftertouch).

✅ Key Features:

LCD backlight replaced – bright and clear, with auto-off after 5 minutes of inactivity. Reactivates on touch.

Factory programs and waveforms fully restored – original Vector synthesis presets are ready to play.

Velocity-sensitive keyboard fully functional.

Aftertouch is currently non-functional due to a failed pressure sensor.

The part could not be sourced during service, so it was left as-is.

All other keyboard functions, including velocity and general playability, are working perfectly.

All sliders, buttons, and the joystick operate smoothly.

No audio issues, tuning is stable and accurate.

Internal memory is backed by a good battery – no patch loss."
