RetroSound Studio Tour: Analog Monophonic Synthesizers

video upload by RetroSound

"Welcome to RetroSound Studio Tour: Analog Monophonic Synthesizers & Duophonic — a deep dive into legendary mono synths from the 1970s and 1980s, including rare East-Bloc classics.

In this new episode, I showcase iconic instruments such as the Minimoog, ARP Odyssey, Roland SH-101, Maxi-Korg, Sequential Circuits Pro-One, alongside Soviet and East German synthesizers like the Polivoks, Alisa 1377 and Vermona mono synths.

These analog monophonic synthesizers defined the sound of electronic music — from the fat Moog and cutting ARP to aggressive Polivoks and raw Eastern European character.

This video explores the sound and architecture of true analog mono synths built around VCO, VCF, and VCA signal paths, highlighting their distinctive basslines, lead sounds, and modulation capabilities. From the Moog basslines to the aggressive Polivoks filter sound and the unique character of East German Vermona synthesizers, each instrument demonstrates why 1970s and 1980s monophonic synthesizers remain highly sought after by collectors, producers, and electronic music enthusiasts."

Waldorf Protein No Talking Review - That what you want right??? lol
Well this isn't it, these are my feelings having used the Protein in a few different settings and now having one at home. I was asked to support some local tours and needed a synth that was super portable, I actually don't have a poly portable, so fortunately this fit the bill perfectly. I actually needed it more than I wanted it to be honest. I think I've seen many 'don't buy gear videos' more and more. Here's the thing. I like those videos actually, but mainly cause I love people in the comments section being triggered lol. I think that most important thing is your 'why'. You love Moog 'why' you love Behringer 'why'. None are bad none are good, it's purely your why. Waldorf Quantum, Waldorf XT this is NOT. It's not what you think it is. It's not Waldorfs cheap way to sell you something. This feels like love was put behind it's creation."

He Hates This Synth Because…

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"In this video, I pick one thing I think I hate about 12 classic synthesizers—and then follow that feeling wherever it leads.
We’re talking about legendary instruments:
Minimoog, MS-20, Prophet-5, Jupiter-8, ARP 2600, Moog IIIc ('Plantasia'), Oberheim 4-Voice, Oberheim OB-X, Synclavier III, Elka Synthex, and Yamaha CS-30.
What starts as frustration with a workflow choice, a knob, or a design limitation slowly turns into something else entirely.
Along the way, I realize this video isn’t really about hating synths at all. It’s about relationships.
Every one of these instruments has limitations—and so do we. In any good relationship, not everything is perfect. But when you stop fighting what something isn’t and start understanding what it is, those limitations can become the very thing that leads you somewhere creative and unexpected.
Instead of endless options, boundaries create focus.
Instead of frustration, they create identity.
And in learning to understand these instruments more deeply, I ended up learning something about myself.
This is a video about synthesizers—but it’s also a small morality tale about creativity, acceptance, and finding freedom inside constraints.
Let me know in the comments:
Which synth do you love… even though it drives you crazy? 🎛️"

まるでMemorymoogの質感!? GS MUSIC e7 Poly Analog Synth from Argentina [no talking]

video upload by いーえるP@TinySymphony

"Reverb : UAD Lexicon 224

MOOG ONE よりも、Sequential TRIGON-6 よりもMemorymoogに近いと思っているアナログポリシンセ、それがこの GS MUSIC e7です。
海外フォーラムでも『e7』はmemorymoogと最も競合する音色・質感を持つとよく言われてるのですが、皆さんはどう思われましたか？

GS MUSIC
https://www.gsmusic.com/synth-store

去年、5Gには黒バージョンしか無かったので、地球の裏側アルゼンチンから個人輸入しました。なんと国際送料無料だったんです!"

Googlish:

"Reverb: UAD Lexicon 224

I think this GS MUSIC e7 is an analog polyphonic synthesizer that's closer to the Memorymoog than the MOOG ONE or the Sequential TRIGON-6.
It's often said in overseas forums that the 'e7' has the most competitive sound and texture compared to the Memorymoog, but what do you all think?

GS MUSIC https://www.gsmusic.com/synth-store

Last year, only the black version of the 5G was available, so I imported it personally from Argentina on the other side of the world. And surprisingly, international shipping was free!"

"The Bob Moog Foundation is excited for NAMM 2026 where we will be sharing a Keith Emerson Moog Modular System Reissue, on loan from Orange Coast Modular. This colossal synthesizer, valued at $150,000, is one of only five ever made. Demonstrations are scheduled with musicians Lisa Bella Donna, Andrew Colyer & Robert Berry, and Rachel Flowers, along with the reissue's co-developer, synth historian Brian Kehew. The appearance schedule is as follows [line-up image below]

The panelists include Steve Porcaro (TOTO), Emerson's fianceé, Mari Kawaguchi, keyboard virtuosa Rachel Flowers, Moog historian Brian Kehew, and former Moog engineer and tech to Keith Emerson, Rich Walborn, with Michelle Moog-Koussa moderating. The panel is scheduled from 4pm to 5pm on Friday, January 23rd in Hilton California B.

See you in Anaheim!"

Sleepy Ambient with Prophet 12, Moog Muse, Pro 2 and Eurorack Modular

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"This is a live session with some of my favourite synthesisers at the moment. The slow noise is a noise generator into Frap Tools Fumana filterbank, modulated by a Pam's Pro Workout and effected by Empress Euroburo Zoia and Strymon Starlab. The rhythmic noise is a sequenced patch on the Sequential Pro 2 through a Boss SL20 slicer. The Moog Muse is playing a slow pattern arpeggio through an Eventide Modfactor and on top of that I play the Prophet 12 through an Eventide H9 (blackhole algoritm).

This is an unedited take on what I usually do in my studio to relax. Usually it is never recorded. But as it is friday, and a new year has started, let's just do it a bit different, ey?

Outside we have more snow than I ever experienced here in Denmark, so the music kind of reflects that cold but cosy mood.

I hope you enjoy it."
