My favorite track by JMJ.
Souvenir Of China by Jean Michel Jarre from the album The Concerts in China (1982)

Featured the Oberheim OB-X, the Moog Taurus bass pedals and the E-MU Emulator II (original Fairlight)

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

The Beautiful Sound of the Oberheim OB-Xa Synthesizer ~ RetroSound Demo

One of my favorite synths in my vintage collection.
The Oberheim OB-Xa Analog Synthesizer from the year 1980

2 VCOs Saw and Pulse
VCO Sync and PWM
VCF 12/24 dB/Oct
8 voices

I have the Oberheim OB-X too and I played the OB-8 and the new OB-X8 in the studio.
All OB synths sounds different. The sound character is similar but not identical. The most powerful synth is the OB-X. The OB-Xa is perfect for pads sounds. More lush sound. The new X8 sounds more modern. All is a matter of taste.

RetroSound's Favorite Jupiter Synthesizer - Roland Jupiter-4 (1978)

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

The Jupiter-4 came out in 1978 and was one of the first polyphonic synthesizers along with the Prophet 5 and the OB-X. Being affordable, he was often found on the coming New Wave music. The Human League, Heaven 17, Duran Duran, Simple Minds and many other groups used the JP4. The sound is very unique and stands out from the big brothers. Wilder, louder, darker. I prefer this sound character over the others.

The demo video shows some special sound characteristics of the first Jupiter synth.

RetroSound VANGELIS Tribute - Thank you for the music!

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

I wanted to do a Vangelis tribute track. For me personally, his soundscapes and above all his sound aesthetics were probably the initial spark that brought me to electronic music and thus to synthesizers. I have almost all albums. The COSMOS series with Carl Sagan ran on GDR television in the early 1980s. That was my first contact with his music. The sounds touched me and painted pictures in my head. They stimulated my imagination. That ultimately aroused my interest in these supposedly unattainable "miracle machines", the synthesizers. But that was all so far away back then. Rest in peace maestro.

The track Chung Kuo is on the China album, released in 1979.

I used the Roland VP330 for string sounds, the Oberheim OB-X for the CS brass sound, the Arp Quadra for the main theme and the bass & string sounds, the Emulator II for percussion sounds, the Yamaha DX7 II für the melody and pad sounds and the Roland M-VS1 module for additional horn/pad sounds."
