Vintage 1970s Yamaha CS60 Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer Mark Stevens Mankind Dr. Who Owned Demos



"Unbelievable original 1970s Yamaha CS60 Synth. This was imported into the UK very early on and was only the second one in the UK. It was imported by Mark Stevens of Mankind, who famously used this on Top of the Pops in 1978 to play Dr. Who. He can be seen playing this exact synth on their recording that day. It has been in his possession ever since and we recently had the opportunity to purchase this off of the friend who received it upon his death. A synth of legends, in full working order, and we have videos of it working for anyone interested. When we received it it was quite dirty so we’ve given it a wipe down but have left the tape on the front for provenance. The exterior case is good condition with a few marks throughout."

Sound Of: Simmons SDS-V Analog Drum Machine ( Bass / Snare and Tom Tom Modules Only )


Sound Provider

"It's been a long time since I've made a video of a drum machine.
Let's fix that by continuing to explore the material we use in Sound Provider Studio for production or for Sound-Banks by listening to the venerable SDSV Drum Modules built in the early 80's in the UK by Simmons.
For this demo I use Mutable instruments Modules from my Eurorack system to trig the Drum, "Grids" for Kick/Snare and "Grids" with "Branches" for the Toms . Also even if I use few EQ and Few dynamic processor I try to keep the sound quite raw and I didn 't add any other effects like reverb, delay or modulation.
Unfortunatly I didn 't have the Cymbal and HiHat modules ,the drummers used most often their real cymbal and hihat with the modules at the time, so they are rather rare and expensive.It makes the demo with all the modules a little rough without them.
I use a lot my SDS-V for Sound Provider soundbanks expecially for the "Analog Kick, Snare and Tom Now" ( https://www.sound-provider.eu/ )

0:02 Bass Module (Kick)
1:31 Snare Module
2:50 Tom Module x 1
4:08 Tom Modules x3
6:05 All Modules
8:00 All Modules but more Techno (without all the Effects and heavy Processing)

Note about my version: It have mod someone did for me , it's a module in the front where I can switch directly the patch from my Modular , the Knob can adjust the amount of velocity and the button can trig the sound without any external gear (very useful if you want to trigger and adjust the sound)

"!!! available at syntaxis.com.pl !!!
Last time I showed some sounds from Syntaxis micromodules system. Now it's time for more musical demonstration. Very old and overused track, but it's great for presenting capabilities of our synth.

Every sound, except drums comes from synth in the same configuration as in the second demo from my channel."

Running Order: how to create both normal and Euclidean trigger sequences


Endorphin.es

"Running Order is a compact 2 channel sub-sequencer. It makes it easy to create variations on the fly and come up with unexpected results that are always musical. In this video we go over how to create both normal trigger sequences (SH-101 style) and also Euclidean, with Euclidean FILL amount modulated by eternal sources for even more variation."

Fenestra: Pico System III workshop for visually impaired

https://fenestra.lv/

On 5th of September first Fenestra workshop took place in the main hub of the initiative - Synthlab in Riga, Latvia. The workshop was organized by Erica Synths and gathered 4 visually impaired musicians from Latvia to learn the possibilities of the Pico System III. It was led by Mario who despite his visual impairment has been mastering modular synthesis for several years in addition to playing trumpet and being a DJ. All the participants were gifted Pico Systems to endorse their continuation of electronic music explorations.

All the sounds the Prophet-6 can make that the Prophet-5 Can't


MR TUNA Music

For the Prophet-6 owners, all is not lost now that the Prophet-5 and Prophet-10 have been announced. The Prophet-6 still holds its own.

Video description:

"The new/old Prophet-5 was announced today.

I get it. I want one.

But what about my beautiful Prophet-6?? It can literally do all those things and MORE.

Here's some things the prophet-6 can do that the new prophet-5 can NOT:

-variable waveshaping
-sub oscillator
-dual effects
-high pass filter
-polymod to waveshape
-polymod to high pass
-distortion?? maybe I should look this up.
-arpeggiator
-sequencer

and more??????

I just love my Prophet-6 so much.

I probably won't get the P5.

Unless a super cool deal comes along.

(I really hope so)."

RIP Oleg Parastaev - 80s Soviet Synthpop Альянс - На заре (At dawn) USSR, 1987


Олег Парастаев

This one is in via Soviet Space Child, who let me know of Oleg Parastaev's passing back in June of this year. Oleg was one of the keyboard players in the Soviet band Alliance, featured above. That's him with the hat. He actually wrote the song as well. The synth used for the song, and what you are hearing, is an original Sequential Circuits Prophet-10, as mentioned in the video below. The synths used in the video are of course props. You can see they are not connected.

Side note: It's interesting having to differentiate between an original Prophet-10 and the newly released Prophet-10.

Prophet-10 comes in at 1:07. You can enable CC on the bottom right of the player for a rough translation.

Baseck Plays: Roland TR-06 Drum Machine With Eurorack


Perfect Circuit

"​@baseck came to our studio to record some sounds with the new Roland TR-06. This is the newest Roland Boutique and it hast the looks and sounds of a vintage TR-606 drum machine. The TR-06 also has TR-808 and TR-909 sounds built in as well as multiple built in distortions and delays.

There are 5 trigger outputs on the TR-06, making it perfect for triggering eurorack modules or standalone drum synths with trigger inputs. You can also use it to advance a melodic sequencer and have all of your timing controlled by the TR-06. Also the TR-06 feels even more solid in your hands than a 606 which was made of plastic.

Timeline:
