Jupiter-8, Juno-60, TR-707 - 1980s style

YouTube Published on Jul 28, 2012 by SynthManiaDotCom

"An '80s synth / dark improvisation in my style utilizing mostly early '80s Roland synths. I'm using a few "live" performance techniques like acting on the synth volumes and filters in real time. The verses are a bit "straight" but the choruses have a good chord progression and sound nice (if a bit melancholic) with the huge, magic, silky string sound of the JP-8, and the electric bass following on the high notes, wait for them ;-)
Roland Jupiter-8 = octave arpeggio synth bass, strings, pad, lead
Roland Juno-60 = pad
Roland TR-707 = drums, arpeggio sync
Fender Jazz = electric bass
Fender Stratocaster = electric guitar
Roland M-10DX = submixing, reverbs, echoes
Cakewalk Sonar X1 PE = recording, effects, compression"

ARP Omni-2 - the classic Joy Division keyboard

YouTube Published on May 19, 2012 by SynthManiaDotCom

"When I was a teenager in the mid-1980s, like many of my teenager friends I was very fascinated by Joy Division, in particular by their album "Closer". I remember that in those days I used to put Closer on the turntable, turn off the lights in my room, and fall asleep to the music. The music from Closer was very beautiful and hypnotic, and left a big impression on me. In particular I loved the synth strings used in that album. It was the ARP Omni-2, also used in other songs by the band. A great album, a great performance by the band, a masterful production by Martin Hannett, and a big influence for my music since those days.."
