video upload by SynthMania

"An old file from the late 1990s that I found in an old archive, from back when I had a Kawai SX-240 (cool synth from the mid-1980s). Noodles on that synth. I don't remember which reverb I used."

OP-X PRO-3 vs. Oberheim OB-X | Jupiter-8 | Prophet-5


video upload by SonicProjects

"SonicProjects OP-X PRO-3 comparison to Oberheim OB-X as well as Jupiter-8 and Prophet-5. Includes A:B tweaking as well as comparing cloned presets.

Setup:
Upper keyboard: Oberheim OB-X Rev.2 vintage built in 1980 equipped with 6 voices. The stereo output goes directly to input 1 and 2 of an RME Fireface UC which has very clean and neutral sounding converters. Signal directly recorded to disk.

Lower keyboard: E-MU Xboard 61 MIDI keyboard attached via USB to a MacBook Pro M1 2020 with macOS Ventura 13.4. The MIDI signal is driving OP-X PRO-3 which is hosted in Logic Pro. The stereo output of OP-X PRO-3 is directly recorded to disk.

Blue skin installed.

Parts:
00:00 A:B tweaking
10:51 Comparing presets
23:35 Jupiter-8
29:05 Prophet-5

Since no Jupiter-8 and and Prophet-5 were available this part of the comparison uses the excellent original factory presets recordings of Synthmania:

Yamaha EX5 Swell Strings


video upload by SynthMania

"When I was younger I rarely bought brand new gear. To get max. "bang for the buck", most of the times I bought used (remember local newspaper ad sections?). The Yamaha EX5R was one of the few pieces of gear that I bought brand new, on the spot, as soon as I tried it out in the store (Veneman in Springfield, VA, not existing anymore, it burned down) in 1998 or 1999 when it came out. I bought it right then and there because I was so impressed with its sounds and capabilities. It truly was a groundbreaking machine for the time, it was one of the first synths to have polyphonic arpeggiators, categories of sounds, multi-synthesis DSP, Virtual Analog, wind control, 128-voice polyphony, and I could go on and on with the whole kit and caboodle. It was the Yamaha flagship synth / workstation back in those days. Still kept it for all these twenty-five years. Of course, today it's been superseded by modern Yamaha synths, excellent propositions such as the Motif and Montage lines. But the EX5/R/7 still has a special sound that I like very much. I found an old file that contained a quick three-part string ditty that I made on it, utilizing three tracks of the awesome and hypnotic "Swell Strings" patch on it. In this video, I'm soloing the C pan, the L pan, the R pan, and then the ditty in full.

Happy Befana day to all.
