Iconic synth sequences recreated on Oberheim SEM, programmed by hand on OXI One MK2.
All music in this video is performed and recreated on the Oberheim SEM module, using the OXI One MK2 as the sequencer. No original recordings, MIDI, or samples were used.

Note: I recreated the Axel F bass line with the OXI One and the Oberheim SEM. While it isn’t originally a sequenced line, I loved how it sounded on the SEM, so I included it at the end."

Roland Juno 106 Famous Songs and Sounds

video upload by Nicolas Melis

"Disclaimer:
This video is for educational and demonstration purposes only. All music is recreated from scratch using a Roland Juno-106 synthesizer. No original recordings, samples, or backing tracks were used. I do not monetize this video and do not claim ownership of any of the original compositions.

In the last Daft Punk clip, the Juno-106 pitch bend spring wasn’t working properly—it didn’t return to the center, so I had to return it manually. So it was a bit challenging 😁"
