"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

Roland JX-8P Analog Synthesizer (1985) + JX Programmer PG-800
the demo shows the different sound settings (DCO`s, VCF, Sync, X-Mod) and some factory and self-made retro sounds

For me one of the most underrated vintage analog synths ever. The sound is fantastic and with the programmer PG-800 the pure synth heaven."

Factory track. Some of you might remember this one.

"Waldorf Q+ Phoenix Edition Synthesizer @ Production Room Leeds UK

The Waldorf Q+ Phoenix Synthesizer remains the standard for virtual modeled analog synthesizers.

There are up to 100 voices offering up to 5 oscillators including wavetable generators, 3 LFOs, 4 envelopes and 2 filters with a sophisticated routing method and all filter types that you expect from a Waldorf synthesizer. Furthermore, the Waldorf Q+ Phoenix Synthesizer offers unique Comb filter types in two flavours. This enables the Q not only to create polyphonic Chorus or Flanger effects but previously unheard athmos or pluck sounds with great life."

1/4" Modular Synthesizer Cables

YouTube via djthomaswhite. speakerrepair.com cables on Ebay
"Got these great cables with copper conductor wire from www.speakerrepair.com in Orange County. They come bundled 6 in a bag for $30. Each cable is a different color (red, green, yellow, purple, orange, blue) and has a TS (Tip-Sleeve) connector on it. The connector are NOT switchcraft but are high quality and have a nice solid feel to them for clone connectors. Cables are available direct from the website or from eBay as they have a GLS Audio store. These cables also come in balanced (TRS = Tip-Ring-Sleeve) for the same price, or you can get them for cheaper bundles in 2 or 3 foot lengths. No strain relief though on the normal cables. Speakerepair.com also has great dela on XLR, RCA and other cables (including nice quality insert cables so you son't have to mess with Hosa). Check them out. I live a few miles away and am glad not to have to build my own cables anymore."

"Had to relocate. Here's a brief overview of the new set up. Includes music from my Tenori-On in the background. I am in the "I love my TO" club. Lots of fun tools I use to make my music. 15 years of gear lust = a bit of gear porn for you to view. More videos coming soon!"
