Collarts Music Production at SynthTemple

video upload by Collarts and SynthTemple

"SynthTemple is home to some of the most sought-after synthesizers ever made: the System 700, the Oberheim Eight Voice, and the CS-80 Vangelis used on the Blade Runner soundtrack.

It's also where our Music Production students get to work first-hand, starting early in the degree through the Synthesizer and Sound Design subject, and later one-on-one during their self-directed projects.

Collarts has a partnership with SynthTemple, giving students access to gear and a space most producers only ever dream about.

Memorymoog vs Arturia Memory V: How Close Is the Emulation? – Luke Million at Synth Temple

video upload by Noisegate, SynthTemple, Luke Million, Arturia

"The Moog Memorymoog is one of the rarest polysynths ever made — finding a working original today is next to impossible. So what happens when you sit Arturia's brand-new Memory V emulation right next to the real thing?

Producer and synth enthusiast Luke Million visits Synth Temple in Melbourne, home to one of the world's most expansive synth collections, to put the two side by side. The original 1982 Memorymoog packed six voices of polyphony, three oscillators per voice and the classic 24 dB ladder filter — but it was notoriously unreliable and eye-wateringly expensive, both then and now.

Celebrating International Synthesizer Day at SynthTemple

video upload by Luke Million

"What better way to celebrate International Synthesizer Day than surrounding yourself with the most iconic synths ever made in a giant studio?!

Recently I visited SynthTemple to familiarise myself with what is possible in this amazing sonic playground.

I thought it would be fun to recreate The Chase by Giorgio Moroder and in particular to learn how to use the Roland System 700.

A lot of fun was had and although I didn’t get through the whole track, I learnt so much about SynthTemple and I can’t wait to return to work on new music.

Equipment used;

Oberheim DMX, Roland System 700, Yamaha SPX-900, Solina String Synthesizer, Roland SPV-355, Oberheim Eight Voice, Roland System 100 & Yamaha CS-80

"Set in a heritage-listed Art Deco former Motor Works and Bus Depot, the SynthTemple complex is an exciting new music facility containing 2 Dolby Atmos studios (Studio 1 – Synth Hall and Studio 2), Solo Room (which doubles as a third studio), Tech Workshop, a spectacular and growing Gear List, including one of the largest working collections of vintage synthesizers in the world.

The versatile studios can be used separately for writing, recording and production, or can be used in a traditional live room+vocal booth+control room format for recording larger scale projects, such as bands and ensembles.

SynthTemple’s size and stunning aesthetic also makes it ideal for live events, livestreams and product launches."
