TOP 10 Iconic Synth Sounds (that ruled the world)
video upload by Espen Kraft
"In this video I present a list of my top 10 iconic synth sounds. Sounds that ruled the world in terms of chart hits. Sounds are coming from synths as Yamaha DX7, Roland Jupiter-8 and Juno-106, some sampler sounds from the Fairlight and Emulator 2 and Korg M1, D-50 and many more.
In the case of the 'synth brass', lots of other analog synths were used for different songs and hits, like the Oberheim OB-Xa, Elka Synthex, Prophet 5 and more. The same for the 'sync' sound.

External reverb, delay and chorus were used on some of the sounds. All sounds has been mixed and processed in various way to sound good. All the sounds are coming from the gear you see in the video. No softs or VST synths were used.
Two added bonus famous sounds in the video, one in the very beginning and one at the end. First is a variation of the infamous "Orch5" sample from the Fairlight, while the other is from the D-50.

Coffeeshopped Releases Reface DX Editor for iOS and Mac OS
via Coffeeshopped
"The latest updates to Patch Base (iOS version 3.17 and Mac version 1.11) bring an editor/librarian for the Yamaha Reface DX. Released in 2015, the Reface DX is an updated take on Yamaha's many classic 4-op FM synthesizers. People seem to most often compare it to the DX100, which is true in terms of its form and number of operators. But the Reface's updated feedback options give it sonic flexibility closer to that of the TX81z, with its multiple waveform options, or the DX21 and DX11 with their pitch envelopes. And in today's vintage synth market, you can get the Reface DX at about half the price of the DX100, which makes it a very attractive portable, high-quality FM synthesizer...
The patch editor shows all of the parameters on a single screen, with the usual Patch Base FM visualizer to let you see the structure of your patches. You can also copy/paste envelopes, or complete operators to make patching easier."

Company Founder Dave Smith to Continue Leading Product Development
San Francisco, CA — June 24, 2021 — Sequential LLC today announced that it has chosen respected audio and music industry veteran David Gibbons to take on the role of CEO and spearhead its business operations. Dave Smith, famed instrument designer and founder of the respected American synthesizer manufacturer, will continue to drive the company’s product vision, development, and engineering efforts.
Gibbons has a distinguished history in the industry and was responsible for Avid/Digidesign’s entry and unprecedented success in the live sound console arena. He started the VENUE live digital mixing console product line and grew it to over $35M in annual revenues. He went on to lead the audio portfolio strategy for the company, and helped it grow to over $300M through a host of powerful and well-integrated music, post, and live sound products. Outside the audio industry, Gibbons has held marketing and product leadership roles at several notable tech companies including streaming media leader Ustream (acquired by IBM), and Salesforce, where he led marketing for their analytics solution.
Sequential’s Dave Smith commented: “I am personally excited to bring David in to run Sequential. Not only is he bringing all of his experience building brands and opening markets, but also his ability to drive innovation while managing the business and operational aspects of a company. My goal has always been to focus my energy on product design and engineering, and now I have David to take us into the future and further develop the Sequential brand and legacy.”
Tim Carroll, CEO of Focusrite Group, added: “I’m thrilled to be working with David again. During our time at Digidesign and Avid, David’s leadership and passion for the industry led to some amazing achievements. Having him at the helm of Sequential’s business operations with Dave Smith leading the charge on product innovation is an unbeatable combination. It’s going to result in even more killer products from the Sequential team.”
Taking the reins as CEO, David Gibbons had this to say: “I’m so excited to join Dave Smith and Sequential. Working with a legend like Dave is on every musician’s wish list. And I’ve always enjoyed working with Tim Carroll. When Tim called to offer me this opportunity, I didn’t think twice: Sequential products have inspired keyboardists for years. And the team they’ve cultivated keeps delivering incredible instrument after instrument. Now, with Tim and the Focusrite Group behind us, there’s so much more we can accomplish. After 40-plus years, Sequential is just getting started!”
Sequential has been a leading force in the resurgent popularity of analog synthesizers over the last decade. Its instruments, which include the Prophet® 5 Rev4 polyphonic synth, Pro 3® hybrid monosynth, and Prophet X Samples + Synthesis keyboard, are known for their versatility, ease of use, and excellence of sound. They are a mainstay of performing and recording artists and can be seen and heard on countless stages and recordings.
Shoegaze Synth + Pedal Sounds with Pascal Stevenson of Moaning
video upload by Perfect Circuit
"Fascinated by the lush, dreamy, and pensive sound of Los Angeles-based alternative outfit Moaning, we've invited their chief of synths, and bassist Pascal Stevenson to our studio to share with our audience some of the techniques they use to achieve the band's signature tone.
Simply combining the outstanding Sequential Prophet 6 synthesizer, and a modest assemblage of effects pedals, Pascal takes us on a journey through variations on classic sounds of shoegaze, dream pop, and post punk. It is quite amazing what can be achieved with just a few simple ingredients, and even if you don't have the exact gear used in the video, you are likely to have some hardware/software alternatives. This is one of those videos where everything we show can be easily and safely tried at home. We promise nothing will blow up, except for your minds!
