Uniton Swissecho 2000 Update

Swissdoc updated his page on the Uniton Swissecho 2000

"I updated the page with some statements from Mr. Garcia about the AKG relationship and Uniton History. In addition I added some more sound samples from guitar amps with spring reverbs. Great how muffled they sound in comparision with the high-end tank of the Swissecho 2000."

Do a find for "comparison to guitar amps' for the demos when you get there, and Mr. Garcia of course for Mr.Garcia's comments.

More pics and a couple of vids at the auction while up.

"A very cool but underrated analogue synth. Built in 1978, before the age of the New Romantics, this synth had Gary Numan written all over it. Since this CS-10 is 100v we will be including a step down transformer free of charge.

Sonics: positive points - synthesis on the CS10 is really straightforward and within about 10 minutes of playing it I had bass leads in the same league as the SH101. The low and high band VCFs sound really great and allow you to cut and drop the bass whenever you want. The external input also allows you to add the Yamaha CS10 sound to ANY of your favourite synths, samples etc. This is probably the winning feature for me."

"The Roland JP8000 - made in 1996 but travelling back to 1980s courtesy of analogue modelling. Analogue purists will probably look the other way, however synth lovers that want great analogue sounds with the ability to tweak away using features found on many of Roland classic synths (Juno 106, SH101 etc) will love this 49 key blue metallic plastic box of fun.

It’s a great keyboard for live sessions and studio sessions. Live musicians can easily find their desired sounds by tweaking away at the vast array of oscillators, filters and effects – as was the case with all of Roland classic Juno and SH range. The only time you need to access the LCD backlight screen menu is when you want to select one of the 128 preset patches, or one of your own programmed sounds (up to 128). There are a range of bass, lead and “atmospheric” sounds. The leads sound sharp and bass sounds range between deep down, dirty and squelchy. In addition, there is also Midi In and Out, but strangely enough no Midi Thru

There are 2 main oscillators, each offering a range of waveforms (e.g saw, square, triangle etc). There is also a 4 stage ADSR. However my favourite effect is the chorus as it reminds me of the Juno 106 chorus sound. The JP also has an arp and it is easy to set up and use, but the only negative point is that there is no “tap” feature for you to sync up to beats.

Overall it is a great synth doing what it says on the tin “analogue modelling”. The JP8000 could be put in the same league as other analogue modelling synths such as Korg’s MS2000, Radias and R3. However, the JP8000 will not steal the Juno and the SH's god-like legendary name status, but it will allow mere mortals to experience these sounds at an affordable price."

ROLAND SH-101 Vintage Analog Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

"For the few that may not be familiar with the the unit, the SH-101 is a monophonic analog synthesizer famous for being a monster of a bass machine. Equipped with 3 separate wave forms, the square, the sawtooth and a dedicated sub-oscillator, the SH-101's mixer section allows you to mix in as much or as little of each wave to satisfy your inner basshead. The 101 is just as happy pushing out deep bowel disrupting sub bass as it is doing snappy funky rubbery acid type bass.

Or, silence all the oscillators and make the filter self-oscillate to create that subby 808 kick and then tweak all of its parameters to make it sit in your mix. Samples simply cant touch it.

You would, however, be making a mistake only thinking of the 101 as a bass machine. It is a full-on synth and as such can be made to produce deep evolving soundscapes, leads or bleeps and bloops (as they are technically known) and synthesised percussion, as well as the hardcore electronic sounds that will freak your cat out.

Within the manual, which is downloadable online, is a section with suggested settings for coaxing a wide variety of sounds out of the SH-101,... these include some of the usual things you'd expect to see such as electric piano, clarinet ,tuba, violin and vibraphone. The settings for making it self-oscillate are also there, but there are some odd sounds as well such as Machine Gun, Space Sound, and my personal favorite Funny Cat."
