Korg Polysix (1981)

video upload by Ticco Ross

"Korg PolySix Custom White with Reverse Keys:

The Korg Polysix is a vintage analog polyphonic synthesizer that was first introduced in 1981.

Korg developed the Polysix with an eye on the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, trying to provide some of the features found on the more expensive synth in a compact, reliable and much cheaper design.

With one oscillator per voice and six voices, SSM2044 4-pole voltage-controlled filters, unique Korg VCO design, awesome envelopes and analog effects, the Polysix sounds fantastic.

The white panel of this Polysix was made by synthronics.de and the inverted keys come from a pair of Korg Poly 800, although the origin of those original Korg grey knobs remains a mystery to me."

Doepfer MSY2 w/ Roland TR-08 & TR-606

video upload by Ticco Ross

"As you know, the MIDI protocol was created in 1983, two years after the release of the TR 606.
That is why the synchronization system it uses is different from the one later used by the industry: our beloved MIDI.
In order to synchronize MIDI devices and sequencers with rhythm boxes from the 80's using DIN SYNC there are different sync boxes.
I opted for the Doepfer MSY2 as it is the cheapest and it turns out that it works great. I haven't had to adjust the trimmers on the back, it works great just out of the box.
NOTE: The clock led is not properly recorded due to the refresh rate of my camera, but is clock solid even if you can't see it correctly."

Dewanatron machines and the Swarmatron

video upload by Robotussin Vintage Synths

"Here's the Swarmatron and its creators Brian and Leon Dewan, talking to Detroit Public TV about 10 years ago.

I posted about the Swarmatron about a year ago. It's an analogue synth that creates a tone using eight oscillators all playing slightly different frequencies. The pitch is controlled with a ribbon at the front. The difference between the 8 oscillators is controlled with a span control, from tightly aligned to woozily detuned. It's designed to produce a sort of cacophony, almost like multiple voices singing at once.

It's best known for its use by Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor on their soundtrack to "The Social Network", which won an Oscar and changed a lot of minds about the sort of movies that could use electronic scores.

Leon and Brian Dewan are cousins and together they run Dewanatron, which makes a family of instruments like the Swarmatron, the Novitiate – a one-off they made for the Bob Moog Foundation. Their instruments are unique, expensive, beautiful and very unusual. In the video you see another of their machines, which has two keyboards that face each other so two people play it at the same time.

I also found some great footage of the Novitiate they made for the Bob Moog Foundation on the YouTube channel AutomaticGainsay, which is a great resource for synth reviews and videos. I've posted more videos of the Swarmatron, the Novitiate and other Dewanatron instruments on my YouTube and on the subscriber section of this channel.

The Dewans, whose family is originally from Syria, spoke to a Detroit Public TV show about Arab Americans."

Twisted Electrons MEGAfm synthesizer demo.

"Demo of Twisted Electrons MEGAfm synthesizer. Custom presets by me. Not the most subtle synth, but full of character and still very versatile. It distorts very easily which makes creating clean sounds a challenge, but IMHO it's one of the best FM synth ever."
