ANTOINE BARIL'S ONE MAN ELP: Backstage Pass @ EMEAPP

video upload by EMEAPP

"After over two years in the making, we are proud to be a part of the One Man ELP project; the brainchild of the amazingly talented Antoine Baril of Québec, Canada. As with his previous "One Man" videos that he has released over the last 7 years (Rush, Genesis, Yes), his attention to detail and accuracy is second to none and it was amazing to watch him at work within our walls for an intense week of keyboard craziness in July 2022. Along with his amazing videographer Paul DiGiacomo, they captured some stunning footage and audio to make this epic video project one for the ages. It was a blast to play a supporting role in this, we gave full access of our Keith Emerson keyboard rig (as well as our extensive collection of vintage analog synths) to Antoine and it was like turning a kid loose in a candy store, a cornucopia of awesomeness! Join us for an exclusive backstage peek at some of the recording processes and video shoots during this one week period. The ELP material he performed and recorded runs Then EMEAPP's executive director Drew Raison will take you on an up close and personal tour of all the keyboards and synthesizers that were used in this project.

You can find demos in previous posts here.

"The EML Synkey is a wild, rare synth originally from the mid 70s. It just predates the rise of the polyphonic analog synth. This is a mono synth that can stack harmonic intervals on any note played. You can create a bevy of one finger chords with ease. It also features an early version of aftertouch called “Second Touch.” While it was listed as having 13 oscillators, what it had was a single VCO utilizing divide-down technology.

These were used most notably by Herbie Hancock and Frank Zappa! In very good cosmetic condition, with some age appropriate wear and scratching of the wood surfaces. This Synkey just got the full treatment by our in house techs, and is ready for action!"

"I just completed a Trigonometry Class (working on an EE course of study). When they got to the 'Graphing Trigonometric Functions' I realized that I could actually implement these functions with Eurorack modules acting as an Analog Computer.

I hope you enjoy this #shorts video."

Roland Jupiter-8 | Can a synth be worth this kind of money?

video upload by Espen Kraft

"Is the Roland Jupiter-8 really worth what the market is commanding these days? In my opinion, not a chance. It's a fantastic synth, but no synth is worth those prices, musically.
Of course, any object is worth whatever anyone is willing pay. That's the whole idea behind capitalism, but again, not musically. Period.
The way it looks made it the obvious 'poster' synth to be used in all those music videos in the 80s and that has made it so desirable, the looks. That's my firm belief. If you want the Jupiter-8 sound in a hardware form without going bust, get the MKS-80.

Again, a big thanks to Joakim Tysseng for letting me enjoy it for so long. Thanks man!"

via this auction

" It was completely overhauled by Switched ON Music Electronics in Texas Austin in 2017 $1,088 to fix everything. Attached photo is the cost of work and the parts they replaced. ($1,088 to fix everything) So it should be still up to date since I used it less than 3 hours since 2017. There’s some cosmetic wear and the handle is missing. The previous owner replaced the keyboard connector to a five pin sturdy din connector so it’s solid."
