02- The Baldwin Fun Machine- Soloists (presets) part 1

video upload by AutomaticGainsay

"Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the presets found on the Baldwin Fun Machine.

The theme music for this demonstration was created entirely with the Baldwin Fun Machine in combination with a small amount of rhythm parts assembled out of GarageBand drum loops."

Also check out the Conn Electric Band from 1974.

Hydra ♒ (ASM Hydrasynth Explorer // Elektron Digitone // Dreadbox Nymphes + Julianna // Roland TR6S)

"There are not enough synths/sequencers offering the chord memory function (i.e. memorizing chords and then playing them back with 1 note only) within a scale! As the ASM - Hydrasynth benefits from this feature, I used it to create this track 😉

I then added some FM sequences played by the Elektron - Digitone, a fat analog bass played by the Dreadbox - Nymphes (through the Julianna Chorus/Vibrato pedal) and finally drums/FX by the Roland TR-6S (the kick sound is not a sample, but uses the ACB engine to emulate the 909's kick!)

* Hardware used *
- PADS: Asm - Hydrasynth Explorer
- BELLS, CHIMES: Elektron - Digitone
- BASS: Dreadbox - Nymphes + Walrus Audio - Julianna + The Pill Pedal (triggered byt the TR6S' headphones output)
- DRUMS, FX: Roland - TR-6S
Everything was sequenced by my DAW, except for the DRUMS & FX which were sequenced by the TR6S' internal sequencer & I also used the Digitone's sequencer to do some parameter-lock."

Oberheim's Lost Classic: The OB12 - Synth and Software

video upload by synthandsoftware

"Synth and Software presents: Oberheim's Lost Classic - The OB12. Mark Jenkins profiles a synth that continues to divide opinion after 20 years"

---

Some of the divide comes from the OB12 being a Viscount virtual analog. Viscount licensed the Oberheim name.

Sound demos come in at 5:36. It kind of reminds me of an Akai AX-60 in character more than a vintage Oberheim. I actually own both, and vintage Oberheim. It has a similar edge to the AX-60. The OB-12 does excel at pads and warm strings. It's an intersting synth.

"Electric piano made in East Germany in the late 70s. It's the brother of the Vermona Piano Strings. They share the same body and layout but sound is a bit different. The piano sounds fuller on this one. Harpsichord and Spinet sounds are quite similar. This one has a very nice and deep tremolo buit in, but no triple chorus like its string machine sibling. Also has the same overall and seperate instruments volume control as well as a sustain switch that either make the sound to its longuest sustain or have the pedal control it. A previous owner added a pot (in a not very nice place on the keyboard) that controls the length of the sustain. It's a nice added feature. The unit was serviced. Caps in the power supply were replaced and original DIN sockets were replaced by jack ones for both output and sustain pedal input. It's perfectly working. Condition is fair, there are signs of wear and time but overall still looks good."
