The Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” - SYNTH PARTS YOU’VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE!

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"I’m going to take you on a quest into one of The Beatles’ most iconic songs, 'Here Comes the Sun', and show you something I recently discovered, that really surprised me. — THERE ARE SYNTHESIZERS IN THIS ACOUSTIC AND ORGANIC SOUNDING TRACK!

I’ll break down the arrangement of this beautiful song and show you how to create all the synth sounds that were used to transcend it's sound. We’ll cover everything from the signature whistle sound, the main lead synth, the intro sound, and the buzzy synth bass that gives the track its vibe. I’ll also discuss the Beatles’ evolution as they started experimenting with effects on traditional instruments, which ultimately led them to integrate synthesizers in ways that completely reshaped what others thought possible.

They used the Moog synthesizer to replace orchestral parts in some sections of the song and to complement the acoustic elements in others. It was all about pushing the boundaries of what was possible at the time but still keeping their unique voice in tact.

What makes this even more special is that I’ve recreated these sounds on my rare, vintage 1969 Moog IIIc — the same model that was shipped just months after The Beatles received their own Moog directly from Bob Moog. This instrument, used on the 'Plantasia' album by Mort Garson, is in fully working order, so it’s my chance to give you a sense of the subtle nuances The Beatles heard when they first explored this revolutionary sound in their music. I’ll bring you as close to the original sound as possible and show you exactly how they used it in 'Here Comes the Sun'.

So, grab your synths (or just sit back and enjoy), and let’s take a closer look at how The Beatles incorporated this groundbreaking technology into their timeless music. You might just discover something new about one of the most loved songs in history and how you can do the same in your music today.

Holographic Psychology: Etude for Oberheim SEM filter, featuring the TEO-5

video upload by Wingo Shackleford (Mike R.)

"Stacking the raw polyphonic analog drone with thick layers of modulated reverb and distortion really brings out the singsong nature of the multimode analog 12db/oct SEM filter. You can find the sweet spots where the overtones really start to burn...

Additional FX supplied by the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Screen Violence pedal designed with Chvrches.

Cinematic Ambient w/ Prophet-10, Lyra-8, OP-1 field, norns shield | Ghost Water 2025-03-31 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@somasynths‬ Lyra-8, norns shield, and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field. Layers of electronic sound occasionally reveal melodies.

On the norns shield, I use DRONECASTER to generate a 283 Hz drone, which is fed into the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II for reverb and stretch effects.

The Lyra-8 produces sounds between drone and noise by pressing its keys and using feedback from the MOD DELAY.

On the OP-1 field, I perform a synth part with the CWO effect applied.

The Prophet-10 plays a sparse synth pad that mixes in noise oscillators."

PlantsSystem-TheYMOwithMU500

"YAMAHA high-quality XG sound module MU500, we played the SMF (Standard MIDI File) of the legendary techno unit YMO. The rich tone and high expressiveness of the MU500 realize a sound that approaches the original. The swell of the synth bass, the sharp rhythm, and the glittering sequence phrases resonate as if reviving the sound of that time.Pursuing a more realistic YMO sound by fine-tuning the tone and utilizing effects. The clear and dynamic sound quality unique to the MU500 brings out the charm of the SMF data to the fullest."

Harmonic Transformer Plus

video upload by Randy Piscione

"In this video, I demonstrate the extenders for the Harmonic Transformer Eurorack module from PM Foundations. Each harmonic PCB has an SSI2131 VCO to generate the sine wave. Since this is a full-featured, very stable VCO, PM Foundations designed an easy to populate daughter card that would bring out the other functions."
