Keyboard Mag July '93 | When vintage synth prices were insanely LOW

video upload by Espen Kraft

"A Yamaha CS80 for 300 bucks? You got it! A Roland Jupiter-8 for 400 bucks? You got it.
How about an Oberheim OB-Xa for 200 bucks? No problem.
Ride the time machine back to 1993 when prices for now sought after synths were an all time LOW.

Keyboard Mag. July '98 | What Was In It?

Espen Kraft

"Madonnas album 'Ray of Light' is an awesome album and back in the late 90s when it was released I listened a lot to it because I loved the somewhat groundbreaking work done by William Orbit on it. In terms of filtering and chopped up vocal effects.

Internet was still pretty new back then and magazines were often how we gained intel on how major productions were made. This is the magazine that made me aware of the ADR PanScan (as Orbit explains inside how he used it on Madonnas vocals) I will show you very soon.

By 1998, sample libraries were starting to take of more and more and the Gigasampler had been launched. To have a major sampler in a plugin form was so awesome after years of having to buy big, expensive bricks of electronics to get some long samples going."
