Roland JX-3P | A Fantastic Classic!

Espen Kraft

"The Roland JX-3P - Programmable Preset Polyphonic - From 1983
One of the best looking synths of all time, also one of the better sounding ones. Often over shadowed by the Junos, but that's because it didn't have the faders and knobs.
Inside it has more in common with the Jupiter series, especially the Jupiter 6. Two oscillators per voice and detune, makes it capable of a lot more versatile sound than the Junos.
It has a sort of metallic shine to it, the filter is a little crude, but with careful programming it can sound warm and inviting.
The sequencer is a wonderful addition and I like it even more then the arpeggiators on the Juno 6/60, even though they're fun as well.
The filter chip is the same as in the Juno-60 and the 3P has analog BBD chorus to add to the richness.

Sidechaining Is Not A Sin [Novation Circuit]

Flak Cannon

"It's been a while since I've done full track using only Novation Circuit. I powered up my Circuit to find that there's a couple of interesting projects worth recording, here's one of them. Groovy house-ish track with some heavy afterwards processing with Valhalla Supermassive enhanced with some channel panning magick and trickery."

Space music: Hydrasynth; Slim Phatty; Virus C; Gadget 2 "Deep Field"

Brittle stR music

"The main mid-range voice is the Hydrasynth: I'm tweaking 4 macros that modify different sets of parameters. The bass is from the Virus and high arpeggios from the Moog. Sequencing and the introductory meteor fall are from Gadget 2.

"35mm scan of a Coke commercial"

Some serious synth action in this. Curious what was used. The year was supposedly 1979.

Update: CR Wallace in the comments suggested this might be from Suzanne Ciani who was doing commercials for Coke at the time. That would make sense; from this happy birthday post: "In 1974 she formed her own company, Ciani/Musica, and, using a Buchla Analog Modular Synthesizer, composed scores for television commercials for corporations such as Coca-Cola, Merrill Lynch, AT&T and General Electric."

You can find some the commercials in this previous post from 2009.

P.S.  That might make for some Buchla vs. Moog Popcorn above at :24 seconds in.  :)

The following is the classic "Pop & Pour' Coca-Cola Logo" w/ some Buchla fizz.

Siel MK 900 Preset Synthesiser w Sequencer

"This 1984 Vintage 61-Key Standard keyboard packs great features into a stylish instrument. With the stylishness & wealth of available options, the MK-900 is a Classic Collector's KeyBoard -- a preset polyphonic keyboard,
with a preset accompaniment section, split keyboard, a sequencer section offering real time sequencing of accompaniments and drum rhythms and, very importantly, the chance to interface independently with two other synth units via MIDI.

The functions, which are switched on and off with bungy buttons, are clearly laid out in a long row close to the five octave keyboard, and the general layout of the instrument makes for ease of control.

The preset voices can either be used in combination, giving fatter sounds, or separately — one in the left hand, one in the right.

This is achieved with the keyboard in split mode, and the split can be programmed to one of three positions on the keyboard. Other voice related functions not mentioned above are a detune button which supposedly gives a sort of ensemble effect, but in fact is better for honky-tonk type sounds, and a left to mono button which, with the keyboard in split mode, enables you to beef up the leading voice with the preset sound you are using in the left hand.
