The Sound of Genesis - MAMA with ARP Quadra, Moog Taurus, Emulator II, Linndrum
video upload by RetroSound
"❤️ Support #RetroSound channel: retrosound.creator-spring.com
The second Genesis video of three in the mini series. Mama is one of my favorite Genesis songs.
Yes it`s a cover but not original at all. It`s my interpretation of this great song.
I used The DX7 for the voice main synth sound. In the original song is the sound made with the NED Synclavier II. The triggered chord sound is made with the ARP QUADRA.
The analog pad sound and the deep humming sound is made with the Oberheim OB-Xa. In the original with the Prophet-5/10.
The deep bass in the middle part is the MOOG TAURUS bass pedals.
The thin synthetic sound in the middle part is made with the Emulator II.
The drum beat is the LinnDrum. Additional Percussion is Simmons SDS-8 and Emulator II."

"This unit was serviced by professionals (us). Refurbishing and thorough testing took approximately 10 hours. As you can see from the photo of the display taken after tuning, this unit tunes properly. As much as we love this instrument's design overall, the plastic end pieces were a poor design choice. We've seen a number of them broken, this one included. Our tech fixed these though, so you'll only notice minor evidence of this from the outside. Feel free to email us for bigger pics if you're serious about buying this beautiful synth. We cleaned all the pots to get rid of the typical and highly annoying glitches that make most A6's unusable, and we replaced the battery so you shouldn't have to do that anytime soon. Not because we needed to, but because we didn't want its next owner to have to go through the trouble.
This unit's ribbon controller had a dead spot in it when we got it. After calibrating it, the entire left side of the ribbon wasn't working, but the right side worked great. All three units we have here at the moment each have their own ribbon controller issue, and none of their sellers mentioned anything about ribbon problems before we bought them, suggesting people just don't notice these things or care to disclose them. We're not most people. Alesis stopped supporting this model a long time ago and we don't know of a source for replacement ribbons. If you do, we'd love to hear from you."

Sequential Circuits Prophet VS SN 1117

"Never made in large numbers, the Sequential Prophet VS is now a hugely collectable synthesizer. Made in San Jose, California in 1987 (s/n 01117), the VS was Sequentials last model before the company folded. Most of the R & D team ended up in Japan, helping Korg to produce the famous Wavestation....and they sold thousands of those.....
It all started in 1985, with Chris Meyer dreaming up the concept of Vector Synthesis. Initially tagged Prophet 2400, the name VS was eventually adopted. Basically, "morphing" among FOUR separate digital waveforms, with the 360* joystick, allows the creation of new patches (100 memories on board). There are 95 resident/32 user waveforms on board.....derived from 4 oscillators being shaped by Curtis analogue filters (but digitally controlled) ~ 4-pole lowpass, using 8-voice polyphony (+split/dual) ~ with twin chorus + agile stereo routing, all being sounded with a 5-octave velocity/aftertouch keyboard. As a bonus, there is also a versatile arpeggiator. Cosmetically, this synth is a bonny sight to behold, with lots of attractive blue switches and pleasing livery with SEQUENTIAL well featured on the rear...so cooool.........
This particular VS (rev 1.2) is currently on the bench being fitted with a heat sink. This is a vital addition, which prevents overheating & subsequent crashing. New blue display has been installed, and some new buttons & switches. The keys are nigh perfect, with velocity fully working, and the channel aftertouch triggering every time. KKGB rate this beauty at 9/10. Dims are 97 x 44 10 cms..weight is around 20Kgs (sturdily built with metal chassis + decent feet). 6 months full guarantee will be offered. AVAILABLE in January 2022, after extensive soak-testing. Sounds like? There are plenty demos on YouTube etc. New sonic creation is easily found; its nice to swerve away from the "normal" sounds!"

"With the price of the original Moog Minimoog sky rocketing why not get the same dense potent analog sound AND extra LFO, and MIDI, and other excellent addition not found on the Moog Mini?
All in a smaller rack mounted space for less than half the cost.
Jump to 4.37 in Alex's video to hear the analog divineness!"
