Crazy Vintage Synth Tour At Vengeance Sound

"Today I travel all the way to Germany to discover Avenger 2, yet-to-be-released plugin synthesizer by Vengeance Sound. More about it 👉https://www.vengeance-sound.com/"

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child who noted:

"If you remember Vengeance sound, they were makers of some very popular patch collections for synths such as the Access Virus, Waldorf Q, JP-8000, etc in the early 2000's [Virus C & Waldorf Q demos below]. They've since branched out into sample banks and their own VST's such as Avenger."

Oberheim OB-X8 - Creative Sound Design Synth of Dreams

Oberheim OB-X8 Sounds STUNNING! video upload by JimDaneker

"My first real spin on the new Oberheim OB-X8. I wanted to just twist knobs and see where it took me, and as a huge Oberheim fan, I have to say I was incredibly impressed. Any of my skepticism about resurrecting the OB series was happily unfounded. This thing is TOTALLY worthy of the name, and every bit a real OB.

Reverb is from my all-time favorite, the GFI Specular Tempus, which has a remarkable ability to be 'wet' while not getting in the way. No other processing was used; you're hearing the dry synth with the reverb return at about 80%. If you'd like both dry & wet tracks as isolated WAV files, let me know! You can reach me via my website below.

15:50 - StrawBent - an analog benediction of sorts"

Modular Synthesizer Sci-fi Drone

video upload by Ultra-Vox Studios

"Standing on the ground of our synth forefathers. Here I’ve patched my 5U/MU Modular synthesizer wall to create a dreamy sci-fi drone. It wasn’t exactly what I had in mind but like a lot of times you get much better results than you anticipate when patching these behemoths. It sounds like I’m floating in space."

"I regret to inform you that Mos-lab temporarily or permanently stops the production of Moog module and system clones for chaotic supply problems.

As a result, production is entirely devoted to the construction of the 2500 modulars."

Vangelis Has Passed Away

Some sad news in via Soviet Space Child, spotted on The Gaurdian. Vangelis has passed away at the age of 79. You all know who he is and the influence he has had on the synth world.

The image to the left was taken at the premiere of El Greco in 2007 and is the image used for his Wikipedia page, which includes the following:

"Having had a career in music spanning over 50 years and having composed and performed more than 50 albums, Vangelis is considered to be one of the most important figures in the history of electronic music.

Vangelis began his career working with several pop bands of the 1960s such as The Forminx and Aphrodite's Child, with the latter's album 666 (1972) going on to be recognized as a progressive-psychedelic rock classic. Throughout the 1970s, Vangelis composed scores for several animal documentaries, including L'Apocalypse des Animaux, La Fête sauvage and Opéra sauvage; the success of these scores brought him into the film scoring mainstream. In 1975 he set up his new 16-track studio, Nemo Studios in London, which he named his 'laboratory'. In the early 1980s, Vangelis formed a musical partnership with Jon Anderson, the lead singer of progressive rock band Yes, and the duo released several albums together as Jon & Vangelis.

In 1980, he composed the score for the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Original Score. The soundtrack's single, the film's theme, also reached the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and was used as the background music at the London 2012 Olympics winners' medal presentation ceremonies.[1] He also composed the official anthem of the 2002 FIFA World Cup held in Korea and Japan."

There are endless videos and performances of Vangelis. I thought I would share the following classics.

Vangelis - Chariots Of Fire - 1981

Oberheim is Back!

video upload by Oberheim Official

"You heard that right: Oberheim is back. And a new chapter is about to begin.

Brought to you by Tom Oberheim, former Oberheim engineers Marcus Ryle (co-founder of Line 6/co-creator of the ADAT) and Tony Karavidas, with Sequential’s Dave Smith and his team.

Visit oberheim.com to sign up for updates on what’s in the works.

And get ready to party like it’s 2099.

----------------------------------------------

Video Cast: Tom Oberheim, Marcus Ryle, Dave Smith, and Tony Karavidas.
Music by Julian (J3PO) Pollack"

Why this matters: in case it's not obvious, the Oberheim brand and lineage is back with the rightful owner. Moog was first, followed by Sequential, and now Oberheim. Bob Moog did business as Big Briar until he managed to secure the Moog name back. Dave Smith did business as Dave Smith Instruments until acquiring the Sequential name back. And Tom Oberheim did business as Tom Oberheim.com, until now. He now has the rights to the Oberheim brand and has the support of others to build new Oberheim products. We now have the original Moog, Sequential, and Oberheim brands back with the original legacy.

P.S. Nice coasters!

P.P.S. Curious what synth we are hearing in the trailer... :)

Update: Looks like it is indeed a new Oberheim. via @iamj3po:

"If you know me, you know how much I love synths. I could not be happier than to help announce that OBERHEIM HAS OFFICIALLY COME BACK!!! I’ve had the great pleasure and honor to work with them on the new secret sauce that will be coming out 😉 and if you want to hear it…well I composed the music for this little video, and I did the whole thing with the new instrument (except for the kick and snare, which are Oberheim DMX samples). If you like synths, and especially if you like Oberheim…this should make your day! Be sure to follow the new Oberheim IG page @oberheim_electronics … more soon ❤️"

"Both graphic and parametric eq are working great on all channels. The level control on channel 3 is intermittent and signal clips almost immediately but all other channels are working great. Rear-panel I/O are all working perfectly. All controls, indicator LEDs, and the VU meter are in perfect working order. Overall working condition is very good.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent - There are a few small nicks and dings mostly on the top panel, however, every knob and switch is intact and ready for action. In all, everything is solidly built and in excellent physical condition."

Big, Brilliant and Beautiful // Waldorf Iridium Keyboard review and demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"A demo/review of the Waldorf Iridium Keyboard. It really is a beautiful bit of kit.. and so flexible. 5 synths in one plus a sampler - I can't really do it full justice in just over half an hour - but it's a great synth. Unlike its bigger and more expensive brother this is all digital, with a huge selection of filter types and synth engines."
