VAI 40 : Solton Disco 64

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"Another video of this rare bird - the Solton Disco 64.
This is one take and two overdubs if we remember correctly - it's really fun and easy to improvise on and then use the same machine to do overdubs - you can play the sections as monophonic / polyphonic synthesizers as well as having the auto-accompaniment generating the sounds.
The sounds themselves might not be the most interesting, but the complete sum of its parts makes for a fun instrument, and external effects do help as well.
This was the predecessor of the Solton Programmer 24 and some of the sounds and the drum machine is featured in the the first model Solton Polyvox as well."

John Carpenter - Escape From New York (Agile Kind Mix)

video upload by Paul Louth

"I got my Prophet 10 a few hours ago, this is a test of what it can do with a score that was well known for using the original Prophet 5. I didn't try to recreate the sounds exactly, this is more aggressive than the original, but it shows off the synth more. I played around with the vintage setting on the various sounds to get that melancholic, detuned, and organic sound that the original Prophet 5 was well known for.

It was mixed pretty quickly, so it's probably a bit muddy, but still this sounds great for a few hours of playing around."

"The Sequential TOM drum machine, one of the coolest drum machines of the 80s and very advanced for its time. The cartridge port in the front made/makes it very easy to use 3 party drums. Today I check out the 8-in one classic cart from HKD.design. Linndrum, DMX and others all rolled into one."

See this post for an additional demo and link to the cart. You can find additional HKA Design posts here.
