ROLAND D-70 Digital Synthesizer 1990 | HD DEMO

"(c) 2013 by AnalogAudio1

I played the Roland D-70 without any additional effects or eq. All you hear is coming straight out of the Roland D-70.

The fully digital Roland D-70 employs a LA (Linear Arithmetic) sound engine. It contains samples which can be filtered with lowpass/bandpass/highpass filters. The oscillators can be modulated via DLM (differential loop modulation). This can produce weird sounds, like heard in the video. A pity, that the JD-800 does not have this feature. It also has a multi effect processor built in (reverb, chorus, delay...). It has TONE PALLETE sliders, which help a lot to tweak the sounds.

In my opinion, the D-70 is more a 'live performance synth' than a studio synthesizer. That's the reason why a rack version never appeared.

The D-70 is very complex. But not exactly the synthesis engine - rather the performance functions: splits, MIDI functions, controller maps, master keyboard functions and that sort of things.... but I must admit, sometimes it sounds beautiful.

It was used by Michael Cretu (Enigma, Sandra)."

I'm curious how this compared to the D50.

"Where do i begin with this!! Okay this is the best Omega 8 EVER!!! It started its life as a stock Omega 8 (5000.00) then added the MIDIMINIAFY 8 mod, adding 8 discrete VCAs via toggles on the front panel (1400.00) THEN added 8 CS-80 filters, these arent the SE CS-80 rather than 8 actual MOTM CS-80 filter boards!! I didnt stop there, there, i also added 8 actual MOTM 440 (SSM) filters to this synthesizer, it is the only one ever to have this modification...and it sounds wonderful. This also has a newer front panel, It will be very sad to see this go, as i've had it for about 10 years, and cost would be close to 10 grand!

Vintage SynKey 1500 by Electronic Music Laboratories EML SN 10775

"Up for auction is a SynKey 1500 by Electronic Music Laboratories (EML). This is a monophonic synthesizer with some very unique features. For starters, while it only has a single oscillator, it is continuously variable between pulse, saw, and square wave. And while it's a monophonic synth, the SynKey allows the player to add overtones in musical intervals using the 12 button array in the VCO section. This makes it easy to play a chord using a single finger! The filter section features low pass, band pass and high pass. The keyboard also features after-touch that can be applied to the filter, LFO, or as a pitch bend..."

MacBeth Nexus: By Request, No Tape Delay Simulators!

Published on Nov 15, 2013 macbethsynthesizers·95 videos

"Hi there- well, I thought that the last video that I did from the prototype NEXUS project was the last one- but I received comments, and some messages to play the synth without out the buyilt in tape delay simulator effects! So- here it is. This must surely be my last demo of the prototype- I'll be working over the next two days to get this out for factory production next week! Please excuse my random mutterings on this video- if you can hear what I say/explain....then fine! I hope that you enjoy this one........it's a big sound!"
