Sequential Pro 3 First Impression (No Talking)

video upload by JimDaneker

"An unedited improv with the very first patch on the Sequential Pro 3 SE. I wasn't familiar with this synth yet and just wanted to get an idea of the 3 filter models, so that's really all I focused on for this video - hence the sloppy playing. You can definitely tell it's got proper VCOs and gorgeous analogue filters - it's a monster synth!

The background arp stuff is from a Sequential Rev2 through a GFI Specular Tempus reverb; piano is from the BackStage Pass library (see link below), and the percussion was programmed with various libraries.

The Pro 3 itself was recorded live straight to Logic, through the Logic stereo delay and a little bit of GFI Specular Tempus reverb."

Prophet Rev2 vs Prophet 5 - Quick Comparison

video upload by JimDaneker

"Just a super-quick, on-the-fly comparison showing the tonal differences between the Prophet Rev2 and Prophet 5. Also highlights the dual-layered "binaural" stereo capability of the Rev2, vs. the Prophet 5, which is mono."

Roland JX-10 with Retroaktiv MPG-70

video upload by JimDaneker

"5 minute deep dive into one of the best analog synths ever made: the Roland JX-10, controlled by the Retroaktiv MPG-70 Programmer. The MPG-70 is a brilliant piece of gear in that it completely opens up the JX-10, bringing every parameter to a physical control surface. It even lets you control both upper and lower tones simultaneously - something no other controller can do. The icing on the cake is that it can control ANY synth - hardware or software, using standard MIDI CCs!

My JX-10 has the optional Vecoven ROM, which is a must-have to bring this glorious synth into the 21st century and allow it to be controlled via MIDI CCs."

Pro Synth Network LIVE! - Episode 125 with special guest, Ben 'Benge' Edwards!

video upload by Pro Synth Network

An interview with Benge aka zack dagoba. Don't miss his Vintage Synth TV episodes.

"Music Technology Discussion with Ben Simpson, Kent Spong, Rob Puricelli and special guest, Ben 'Benge' Edwards!

Ben Edwards, known professionally as Benge, is an English musician and record producer based in Cornwall, England. The main focus of his work is within the experimental electronic music field. He launched the record label Expanding Records as an outlet for his debut album 'Electro-Orgoustic Music' in 1995. His tenth solo album, released in 2008, was called 'Twenty Systems' and featured 20 individual tracks, each based around a specific synthesizer

Over the years Benge has amassed a large collection of electronic synthesisers, drum machines and studio equipment which is housed in his 'Memetune Studio Complex'. From here he writes and records his own music as well as working on his many collaborations

Since 2012, Benge has released a regular series of online solo albums via his bandcamp and iTunes pages. These albums regularly feature his "one-synthesiser-per-album" concept, whereby he limits himself to creating a full album using a single electronic music system

He's worked as a co-writer and producer with many luminaries of the Electronic Music scene, such as John Foxx, Wrangler (Stephen Mallinder), Blancmange (Neil Arthur), Creepshow (John Grant) and many others, as well as pursuing his own musical projects such as Oblong and Fader

2022 saw the launch of The Memetune Show on his YouTube channel. This show, hugely reminiscent of late 70s/early 80s BBC/PBS technology shows, is a part tongue in cheek, part serious exploration of vintage synthesizer and video production technology"

Eventide Misha : Interval Based Sequencer : Synth Riffs Made Easy

video upload by Perfect Circuit

"Read our thoughts on the blog : https://bit.ly/3CwroQ0
Pick a Misha up today : https://bit.ly/3KmfHgK

Eventide's newest module the Misha is an interesting take on a quantizer / sequencer !
Instead of strictly adhering to keyboard-style musical conventions, Misha opts for an intervallic approach, meaning that numbers are how you decide which note goes next: 0 is your root and +/-12 is an octave, with all other notes falling somewhere in between. With Scala support, however, you can dictate how many intervals there are and what their tuning ends up being leaving you no longer beholden to equal temperament."
