BEST SOUNDING DIGITAL SYNTHESIZER - Synclavier II - Synclav com

video upload by Synclav com

"This month Synhouse starts year number 27.

Synhouse has fully restored and shipped many, many dozens of systems in the last three decades and this work continues in 2025.

Shown here is the testing of a 16-voice setup just before export shipping. These are the later revision SS7X version of the Synclavier II Stereo Option synthesizer voices, playing notes and sustained chords for several minutes while listening.

Relatively few Synclavier 9600s were made, even fewer with the synthesizer voices installed, but those that had them used this exact type of bin (SB25) and voice card (SS7X, eXtended style), plus a very few Synclaviers of the PSxx series used them as well. Synhouse stocks these and Synhouse manufactures these (SB25, SS7X, etc.) and has them in the Synclavier store on the Synclav.com website.

Oberheim Matrix 12 Demo

video upload by EthanRayMusic

"A brief demo of some patches I created on the Oberheim Matrix 12.

It's a stereo signal running into my Apollo x4 interface. No FX/Reverb, just pure, raw Matrix 12 goodness.

This is the Japanese version, which has some differences in design from its U.S. counterpart. But still has the same incredible sound.

The last sound is simply sawtooth on both oscillators with the filter wide open. Even so it's quite stunning."
