"fully remastered sound and picture"

I almost skipped this one as per the site guidelines all posts are supposed to be synth demos only, meaning the focus is on the individual synths themselves. Yes you can see a bit of synth spotting, but let's face it, what spotting there is is somewhat obscure unless you know what's going on here.  What I realized was that three classic bits of gear dominate the entire performance and much of the sound of Ultravox at the time. The Yamaha SS-30, the ARP Odyssey and classic Simmons synthetic drum sounds.  It's as if this thirty minute video is a tribute to them.  Enjoy.

Update: I originally noted Solinas were used. Turns out it was the Yamaha SS30. What threw me off was the custom stands they are using. Take a look at 4:23 in the video. That's the SS30 on top. Now look at these pics. Note the difference.

via Pete in the comments: "The string synths used by Ultravox were not Solinas. They were the much rarer Yamaha SS-30. They sound quite different to the Solina, but are very much 'the sound' of Ultravox, along with the ARP Odyssey, Yamaha CP-80, PPG Wave 2.2"

You can clearly see the SS-30 on top of Billy Currie's setup, and you can see Midge playing the SS-30 at 5:38.

And via Billy Currie on the GForce Software website: "It was amazing to hear the Elka Rhapsody again and the Yamaha SS-30 but it is also good to hear all the other ones that are in there. I always loved the Oberheim sound so I have utilised the Xpander sounds.

The Solina was an instrument I didn't really get on with in the seventies, too silky, but interesting to go back to now!

I do admit though that I did not have a great relationship with the Yamaha SS-30 initially. Yamaha gave the gear to Ultravox in 1979-80 so I didn't say "No thanks". I must admit it does sound flipping brilliant in the VSM though - Nice One!"

The Ultimate Synthesizer - Pulse2

Published on Dec 28, 2013 René Zierenberg·10 videos

"What´s to say...?
first: analog Synthesizer with Pulse parapolyphonic Waldorf Sound
second: nothing else more to say
third: i forgotten - but hear it, only if you are resistant of its sounds heavy & dangerous. Yes it does!


Music Instrumental Improvisation Information:

Waldorf Pulse 2 become from Yamaha Mox6 a Church Reverb, thats all.
The Result is filled with a little digital finalized Proceed set to afterwork, there standing for a digital Limiter and a vintage Compressor by Steinberg (Wavelab 8) to become a professional Loudness. Over this - the Sound is being in Result realy thrue/pure from Synth, thinking without the Reverbation."

I thought it was a great image in that it represents the magic behind the module - no patch cords.

KORG Poly-61 sequenced by Anyware Intruments inSEQt via CV/GATE

Published on Dec 28, 2013 Elegtrosmok Music·3 videos

"When i had to repair an old defective Poly-61 i decided to unchain this machine from any digital limitations, free it by some valuable mods. one of the main features is the ability to control the synth by CV/GATE. so i did this first. excuse the bad sound and the unprofessional way to do the test. it is only a very first test using CV/GATE. The functionality is okay now, also as the feature to transpose the sequence by the Poly-61 keyboard.

This is the beginning of tons of modding features on my to-do list. i will create a whole new synthesizer out of this vintage analog audio gear... so stay tuned folks! I am sure you will not waste any time on it ;-)"
