////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

It is divided into the following sections:

SWITCHED ON 80s - This third series takes an in-depth look into six classic 80s synthesisers, selected because of their interesting and unique attributes

LITTLE BLACK BOXES - A further look at some classic rack mount studio gear of the 80s and 90s

SYNTHESISER CLUB - A short musical demonstration of a synthesiser classic or three, concentrating on 'families' of synths

COMMERCIAL BREAK - Some shameless Memetune shilling

PATCHING TODAY - A deep-dive into vintage modular systems and how to set up a patch on them, starting from scratch, this time using Cybersynthesis techniques to bring an element of surprise to the patches

VIDEO LAB - A look at old video equipment and how to create experimental visuals, concentrating on a specific device in each episode

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

In THIS episode:

SWITCHED ON 80s - A detailed look at the Korg Monopoly from 1981, and Benge unveils his virtual 80s studio environment

LITTLE BLACK BOXES - A look at four of the first true Little Black Boxes - not synths, but early digital reverberation units: the AMS RMX16, Quantec Room Simulator, Yamaha REV1 and the Lexicon Model 200

SYNTHESISER CLUB - Today, it's the Kawai Klub - the K4 synth, R-50 drum machine, Q-80 sequencer and K1m desktop synth. The drum machine and sequencer were very kindly donated to Memetune by a generous viewer called Alex 💕

COMMERCIAL BREAK - Some adverts for Memetune-related goodies, including the new Memetune Annual 2024, a Benge album on vinyl, and the range of Memetune merchandise

PATCHING TODAY - on the Serge Paperface system, and a modern recreation of the CGS Gated Comparator in Serge format made by Loudest Warning

"'GruelTunnel' a Prophet-5, TB-303, and vocoder are inserted into the drum sounds."

Prophet Rev 2 + Microcosm + Digitakt II + Chroma Console

video upload by Hologram Electronics

"Some moments from a loose performance with a synthesizer, drum machine/sampler, Microcosm, and Chroma Console.

The Prophet Rev 2 is plugged directly into Microcosm. Then, Microcosm is going stereo out into Digitakt II. From there, the whole mix is sent from the Digitakt to Chroma Console and then to our interface to record one stereo track.

Throughout, Chroma Console is always on, serving as an end-of-chain compression/saturation box for all of the instruments and Microcosm. It’s used a bit more aggressively here just so it’s obvious, but it’s capable of much subtler compression and saturation. Just tweak it til you like it.

Delay and Vibrato are used as performative effects, brought on and off using the Dual Bypass feature. Chroma Console is synced to the Digitakt’s clock, which makes all of its time based effects in sync with the music.

Microcosm is kinda just doing it’s thing. Seq C is a preset that sounds very nice and washy, especially if you add some reverb. All that wash gets sidechained by the kick, just by virtue of all the compression that Chroma Console is adding."

Patching with Leibniz

"Here is the third episode of Patching with Leibniz. Let's see, if there is something better than Jena to pair with Berlin. How can you spice up this classic pair? Oh, and perhaps you want to master chaos? Leibniz style of course!"

SOR Revolution JP8000 Vol.2

video upload by SoundsOfRevolution

"https://www.sounds-of-revolution.com/...

The Soundset 'SOR Revolution JP8000/8080 Vol. 2' comes with 64 brand new patches for Electro-/Trance-/Techno-productions.

Containing wonderfully rich analog-sounding patches (Kraftwerk / J.M.Jarre style), ultra fat & crystal clear sparkling trance leads, luscious warm pads, crazy effect sounds and lots of trendy, faaaaat & powerful sounds to rock the clubs ! – As always you won’t find any boring brass/piano/flute patches here! – You know what I mean…

Some awesome sound reproductions of well-known artists are included as well. The variety of the patches is enormous.

NOTE: We programmed 2 versions of this set! One JP8000 and a special JP8080 version that uses the new functions of the rack unit like NOISE at OSC 2…it sounds amazing!

We really have gone all out to bring you cutting-edge sound programming which gets the max out of this fantastically FAT sound engine!

As in V1, we have avoided clicks in the attack – the typical JP-problem. Furthermore, every sound can be altered by modulation (ribbon controller, velocity assigned…) – sometimes drastically!

For us the Roland JP8000 / 8080 is one of the greatest synths out there! So what are you waiting for? Revolutionize your JP now.

Revolution JP8000/8080 Vol.2 is the perfect completion to Vol. 1 which has been completely revised! Only some Emagic Logic Reverb was added at the mp3 demo."

’14 Analogsynthesizer - synth wave multitrack

video upload by vermonagear

"Join Hans and Thomas as they showcase the very first ’14 Analogsynthesizer produced in our Elektroakustischen Manufaktur in Erlbach. Using multitrack recording, they crafted a captivating synth wave track that highlights the instrument’s versatility. From punchy drum sounds to lush pads and shimmering arpeggios, this stunning blue synthesizer does it all. The only additional elements are stock effect plugins from Logic Pro.

The ’14 Analogsynthesizer is a limited-edition masterpiece, with only 222 units ever made. However, we still manufacture the Mono Lancet ’15—its “little brother” in size, yet its original inspiration."

Tascam 388 Session: Prophet 10, MPC X, Yamaha RX11, Line6 HX Stomp XL

video upload by Retrothusiast

"Join me in this exciting recording session featuring the Tascam 388, a classic multitrack recorder that's stood the test of time. Starting with a groovy drum beat crafted on the Yamaha RX11, I sequenced the rhythm alongside a deep, punchy bassline from the Prophet 10 using the powerful MPC X. From there, I tracked everything in stereo on the Tascam 388, laying down the foundation for an inspiring retro music production. Adding to the mix, I recorded two guitar tracks through the versatile Line6 HX Stomp XL, and wrapped it up with a live synth performance on the Prophet 10, bringing the session to life.

This video showcases the seamless workflow and unique sonic character of these iconic pieces of gear. You'll hear the raw, unprocessed sound of the Tascam 388, letting you experience its warm analog tone. Whether you're a fan of vintage music equipment or curious about retro recording techniques, this session highlights how these classic tools—Tascam 388, Prophet 10, MPC X, Yamaha RX11, and Line6 HX Stomp XL—come together to create something timeless"
