Great Synth Mysteries Ep. 6: There will NEVER be another Access Virus


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"This is a love story about a synthesizer unlike many others, in my opinion a synth the came out so long ago still eclipses many releases of today. Great Synth Mystery, mmm, maybe... but I wanted to make a compelling piece about such a wonderful instrument. As a musician and not a reviewer or journalist I think this really speaks to how ahead of it's time the Access Virus Ti was."

Reviewing ALL Arturia the Synths in ONE VIDEO as quickly as possible....well kinda lol


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol
ALL music in this video is 100% Arturia Synths and Drum Machines performed by ME

#1: Nobody gave me money to make this video, I wanted to review a bunch of synths in one video and I worked to get my hands on as many as I could. I've extensively used every single synth in this video over many years, so I thought I could give my thoughts on them all as I've played every one (except the Origin, but can you hold that against me, honestly)

IF YOU WANTED A NO TALKING VIDEO, ONCE AGAIN GO AWAY HAHAHA jk"

ONE MINUTE SYNTH REVIEW!!! Ep. 22 IK Multimedia Uno Synth Pro Desktop (Halloween Special)


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand Subjective Opinions may be excused lol ALL music in this video is 100% IK MULTIMEDIA UNO SYNTH PRO

TLDR, it takes me quite a while to review anything, often to grasp the value of an instrument it takes me months and sometimes a year to see where it fits, so yeah, that's my reviewing strategy, it's music, it's emotion, so if a synth doesn't give me a story to tell and a reason to review it I won't...Fortunately, the Uno Synth Pro really is a transformative instrument, while on the surface it may seem like a simple paraphonic synthesizer, it's value is underrated when you look at the competition."

Moog's Missing Modules 👀


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol
ALL background music in this video is 100% ME. Check the tracks out in the YouTube Audio Library

I don't have an Arturia MiniFreak, so I did this instead lol. This was a fun video to make, Moog has made a lot of cool stuff, but some of their coolest synthesizers and effects are essentially in the 'been there done that' bin... I really want to see another current run of the 500 series modules and the Spectravox. Moog's modular stuff really hits, but it comes slowly, so fingers crossed for actually seeing any instrument in this video ever again lol.

Here's to me getting an Arturia MiniFreak and Moogerfooger Plugins by Halloween lol

Shoutout to the following creators:
Loopop / as I referenced his review for this video, check out his channel
Moog / for all their beatiful video clips
Sonicstate / and their extensive coverage of everything (Spectravox clip)
SoundonSound / Great coverage of the Moog 500 series modules"

Moog's Sub 37: The GREATEST MONOSYNTH.......ever?


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"Obviously I've had years and years of experience using the Moog Sub 37, it truly changed everything for me as far as live performance goes. I was so thankful when it was released, and now all these years later, yes, I personally think it's the best Analog synthesizer of all time. Sure I haven't used them all, but no one has...so if you disagree, duh, it's expected hahaha. That said, The Sub 37 is great for many many reasons, and even though it's been out for 8 years it will is a modern classic...IMHO. So maybe this video was simply made to say I LOVE YOU SUB 37."

SYNTH VS SYNTH -- Sequential OB6 or Prophet 6?


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"The OB6 to me is a freakin freight train of sound, i's power is WAY more than you can imagine. If you haven't heard one in person you're missing out. There's something special in there, but the Prophet 6 has it's place, and obviously to me a VERY special place. Anyways...watch and FIND OUT."

Great Synth Mysteries Ep. 5: The RAREST SYNTH I Just Found Out About (mini)


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

Note it's Paula Maddox of course. Noir Et Blanc does mention it as the video progresses.

"So those of you who follow me KNOW I LOVE the 002, while rare, this details the reason why even the Modal 002 isn't the rarest in the 00 line. Anyways, I did this video more for me than anyone else, but I think I can do 'mini' mysteries more often."

ONLY Moog Would: $5000 Worth of Feelings 😬


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"*Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol*

So, if you have the infinite money glitch in life, I guess I finally made the video for you. For the rest of you, understand that this video was hard to make because of the internal conflicts of price. That said, nobody should spend money on anything just because some other musician praises it. The gear wont make you better, PRACTICE WILL....lol Is it the greatest hardware vocoder I've ever used sonically?....YES, but watch to understand more."

Great Synth Mysteries Ep. 4: Whatever Happened to the LinnDrum II


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"So, it's been over 2 years since I completed an episode of Great Synth Mysteries. Cool. Well, I honestly thought about this for at least a year, really hard to top that Jexus two parter ya know. The reason this story worked was because I was lucky enough to find a solid storyline using Internet Wayback Machine, so the research took FOREVER. (Plus, new interviews gave me better insights) I'll probably do 1 of these a year going forward, but these are by far my favorites. I'm a story teller, and this (while it takes sometimes a dang year) is the ultimate rush for brain like mine who needs to tell a compelling story. I hope you enjoy it, and I thank everyone who deals with all my low effort content in the meantime lol

SET YOUR PHASERS TO STUN!!🖖 - Moog MF-103 vs Dreadbox Lethargy


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"*Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol*

TLDR: I bought a $200 freaking phaser pedal JUST to make a video when I already have a phaser pedal that's way sicker...no hate Dreadbox, it's real good!

I promised I'd buy this Lethargy pedal so I did. The ONLY thing I'll say as a negative, it didn't seem the Lethargy was as good with ULTRA low bass frequencies. Like, it wasn't as good at handling high input low end frequencies where as the MF-103 could do it all smoothly. Honestly, MAKE UP YOU OWN MIND WHILE LISTENING. lol

Overall, look, the Moog is better to me, but at the prices today, you're better off going Dreadbox."

"VIRTUALLY" GOOD 😁- Studiologic Sledge Impressions


video by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"*Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol*

Shoutout to Katherine, she requested the Sledge and here it finally is, I appreciate her suggestion, a true supporter!

This is like a cheap Waldorf. The best CHEAPEST Waldorf money can buy...........see what I bolded there...I really REALLY like the sound of the Sledge, I’d say this is a real hidden gem, truly a joy to play, not the best build, for under $1000, yeah I’d go with the Sledge over a bunch of other newer VAs.

Special thanks to Perfect Circuit! They hooked me up, but this isn't sponsored by them besides letting me borrow the Sledge. Free advertising for them, a chance to check out a synth for me :) So check them out as they're one of the best shops for recording, pro audio and synths around. I got my Eurorack there so they can consult you as well! https://www.perfectcircuit.com/

Buy the Sledge here from my friends at Perfect Circuit who didn't pay me anything to shout them out, but I like them, so why not support a local shop! https://www.gopjn.com/t/TUJGR0tHS0JHS..."

SPLIT PERSONALITY 😬 - 30 Years for this?...The Roland JD-XA


video by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"*Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol*
*ALL music in this video is 100% by ME on the Roland JD-XA*

So, SOMEONE is gonna be upset by my take. Though, for some reason if your take is different than mine, I just think that's cool and normal...Maybe I'm the weird one LOL. The JD-XA didn't inspire me EVEN THOUGH, it's a fantastic synth (for the right person, especially at the price.) So sit back, relax (or get super mad) and see how I digested a tale of two synths.

TLDR: 4 Voices.

YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE?🤔 - Roland JD-XA


video by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"*Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol*

This is a synth of lore, something many have passed up over the years. Looked over for it's less dusty brother the JD-XI, what is the XA really all about? Grab your pledge and lets find out.

"What would you say if I told you I had a synth that's cheap AF, but is so functional that I don't know how they made something this feature-rich for even 5x as much? Well look, I love this box for many reasons. One of them is the price, the rest is just purely the sound and functionality. I'm a fan of OSTs, so can you see why I'm a fan? Anywho, this is a hate it or love it piece. I'm the later."
