One of my favorite 80s movie themes
Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F
Beverly Hills Cop theme
I used the Roland JX-3P for the main theme sound, the bass and string pads.
In the original track Faltermeyer used the Roland Jupiter-8, the JX-3P and the Yamaha DX7.
The JX-3p is the best synth in my opinion for classic JP-8 sounds. Nearly identical sound with good programming. I used the Yamaha DX7 II for all digital sounds.
Drums: LinnDrum and Emulator II Samples
The Roland JX-3P Synthesizer from the year 1983 is a fantastic analog synth with the typical 80s sound. Here can you find the full JX-3P playlist with single sound demos and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy.

North Coast Synthesis MIDDLE PATH VCO / all the features demonstrated / no talking
video upload by BRiES
"In this playthrough I let the MIDDLE PATH VCO speak for itself. The way the normalizations are used in this module is very clever and useful. The center section (aka the Middle Path) is a full blown waveshaper circuit that reminds me a lot of a single circuit of the Serge by Random*Source Triple Waveshaper. You can use it with the internal VCOs or just run external sources through them or use any combination of hard or soft sync and create timbres that are very hard to reproduce using any other single module.
I'm VERY impressed with this module (both for its functionality and build quality).
I realized too late that I didn't demonstrate how to make a pure sine in the video. On page 7 and 8 of the extensive user manual you can read all about it, it involves running the saw output into the waveshaper section (instead of the normalized triangle). Then you get 2 quadrature sines (from 'sin' and 'cos' outputs) and a sine with twice the frequency from the 'both' output. I'll add this note to the description of the video.
The manual can be found here:

Lyre Inc. FDSS Studio Additive Synthesizer + Resynthesis
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
This is the first post to feature both Lyre inc. and the FDSS Studio Additive Synthesizer. It was spotted and sent in via M Me. The listing, images, and info is from Synthmaster.de, posted here with permission.
Details from the listing:

"I am offering my ultra mega rare Lyre FDSS Studio.
The FDSS is an additive synthesizer with analysis and resynthesis function from 1987
The technical data is on the last picture in the web, you can find almost nothing about it
Ultra rare , as far as I know less than 50 devices have been built , only three have been delivered to Europe .
This synthesizer was available as an 8 or 16 voice version,
The 8-voice version was always the basic version, which could be expanded to include a further 8 voices out of 16.
Like the famous Technos Acxel synthesizer, the Lyre
FDSS synthesizer also designed and built in Quebec / Canada.
You had to operate it via a terminal, similar to the
Synclavier, Synergy or Kurzweil K150FS.
Software was and is included for PC and Apple Mac
Mac could be connected directly and with the PC you needed a card (ISA is included)
price, no idea.....
with such rare things "whatever someone is willing to pay" applies :-))
or exchange for vintage synthesizer?"

Prophet REV2 - Harsh? Bland? Static? Lifeless? - Really??
video upload by Orano Music
Note Orano Music has done demos for the Sequential OB-6, OB-X8, Prophet-6, Prophet-5/10, and Trigon-6, as well as the Novation Summit and Moog One as seen in previous posts here.
"I have read so many reviews about the REV2 being too 'static', 'lifeless', 'harsh' 'Brittle' and so on...
The REV2 is an extremely capable synth, and with some careful programming can compete with the best of them.
This Patch has no effects, nothing, it is completely dry. and to me sounds very organic, full of character, and very analog indeed. This was not using any analog modelling techniques, doesn't use the step sequencer for variants. which if used would make it sound even more analog! (if that's possible)
in a nutshell, the REV2 requires some work to achieve the same results as you would get from its upper range counterparts, but talk about value for money, this synth is very impressive!
if in doubt, grab one!
Custom REV2 Patches will be available soon at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop
enjoy!
Scott."
