@33.30 great to listen to this while editing a project, the soundscapes are great. Triggers the imagination :-D. Interested in the orchestral side, haven't seen Romulus though. One you might be interested in is blue thunder movie. I read somewhere it was intended to be an orchestral soundtrack but changed to synth driven instead and IMO totally darkened the whole feel of the movie :-) Explore some john carpenter movies too.
Why don’t these guys use kyma7 because I know they have access to it ….i have just be honest used with a fatah keyboard it would make the a world of difference …. When you work in these environments you they have certain things…. Unless they utilized a vendor … who’s incredible either way..with sound particles and kyma7 you can go full “scanners” on the audience… that and infrasonics.. I’ve been a holophonic quadraphonic surround and HOA nerd since I was a wee lad in the early 90s’q
Wow! My favorite stream yet. Very unique idea and execution. Love the application of how music theory, synthesis, and effects can be used to make sounds convey emotion and movement through the scene. Keep this stuff coming!
If I could figure out how to do this type of content all the time I would! With Romulus it seemed like a perfect fit - digging through movies coming out soon it doesn't seem promising at all. Maybe a Silent Hill 2 stream when it comes out. I'm open to any ideas!
Thank you for showing how some of the iconic soundscapes and music for the Alien series was created. This has given me some ideas on creative uses for delays and tape delays. Although, I only have VST versions but it will be interesting to find out if I can create similar sounds "in the box."
Damn, that's the best demo for the RE-501 I've ever heard. Scary train sound indeed. I think Trent used one on his second album.: "Get to the Chopper!"
Great video. I used to have a moog source, korg m1, korg poly 61 but sold them years ago. I just have a polymoog & eminent solina. Miss them dearly but it would be too expensive nowadays to buy the original’s again & keep them working. I rarely use my polymoog & solina nowadays due to better vst & plug in software versions which sound good enough.
@@VultureCulture Respectfully disagree on this one :D Given the choice between hearing the first few words from what you are trying to convey OR the long release of a patch we've been listening to.you play ... i mean
The fact that this even sounds this good for the time it came out is mind blowing. I personally think this still stands the test of time. But reliability sounds like a whole other thing.
I started listening to DABEULL recently and apart from all the amazing synth sounds, the bass was killer, cutting all the mix with a such rich sound! So I went back to find out which synth he used, and it was the SH-2. Even though I'm a bass synth lover, I'd never given the SH- 2 a second thought. Now it's on my top tier list of mono synths! Thank you for another great video!
I watched/listed to this video a couple weeks ago and was enamored that you mentioned the Kawai K1, and saved the video to finish watching later. Now I finished watching and I'm disappointed that you didn't mention the Kawai K3 which was my 2nd synth (Juno 106 was the first, traded it for the Kawai). Now that K3 is hanging on a tree on my property to mark the entrance to my homebuilt mountainbike trail system (Keyboard Trails). It's alsobeen used at target practice with bbguns and other projectile-spitting items. Fuck Kawai. Their sounds can be replicated with damn near any good synth engine. 🤣
Greetings loving your list and talking, im 1/3 through. Couple things you got wrong and lot of stuff I like! K1 is amazing, I bought it few years ago for 6pack of beers, used it quite a lot and now it is by friend being used for his lo-fi music. CS-01, you are wrong - it doesnt share anything with bigger CS synths (actually shares filter and VCA with Electone organs) and doesnt even sound much like them, but I really like it, used it for touring / performing (form factor is winner!) and its really a synth that should be made again in its original form. Poly 800 is awesome, can be found even cheaper than you are mentioning, recommended for classic synthpop sound. DW-6000, my neighbour has one. Fantastic instrument, totally underrated and can be found really affordable. Also reliable. JX-3P had one with PG200 recently (havent kept it due room and having too much stuff, but really liked it, would like to find eventually MKS-30), definitely more variable and usable than Juno-6/60 and sounding much better then 106, lot of character! Also master oscilators for tones are actually two VCO's (that use computer controlled dividers - hence DCO). Prophet 600 is better than Prophet 5, change my mind! Awesome instrument. Good choice, also very reliable after servicing. CS-15D is gorgeous (I have two of them - one I left my gf to have and use and also I serviced/repaired couple of them), unbeatable sound and just made to perform and play, sounds actually even better than 15 (of course 15 have more options). SK-20 is fantastic, I was recently repairing and refurbishing one.. They are big and heavy, but affordable for what it is. Personally I own SK-30 for many years and just keep using it and keep playing, recording etc.. You are completely wrong about the organ (I think that wrong information comes from VSE) - there is no FM at all, its classic master VCO oscilator and divide down IC + filters as used in Yamaha electone organs. Will continue watching, awesome content. All the best!
@@VultureCulture No worries! Classic humans, we are so often wrong (including myself). ;-) You are doing really awesome, keep it on! Alpha Juno is absolutely amazing, amazing workhorse. Sounds actually closer to Juno 6 than 106 and is very variable. And yeah I dont need (and not really want) oscilating filter. I had JU-2, but kept the JU-1, smaller and easier to carry to gigs and in the end has the same features (velocity / aftertouch) when controlled using midi. AX-60, actually never had it in hands. Awesome feature! Polysix! Yeah I got one. Speaker blower. Unfortunatelly bit unstable VCO design (fully discrete) and differs between various machines / revisions, but as a studio instrument its all good. (still crave Trident ;-) ). SSM filter design is fantastic. Great and really important point about battery - its a P6 killer and needs to be replaced! MG-1 hah, got one as well, gnarly and wild machine and actually quite versatile. Im using it quite a lot and my gf adores it. ;-) (btw few other synths use same CMOS digital noise, for example Mono/Poly first rev. and other Moog's etc.. people complain only when they are snobs and know about it :) ) Prodigy - never used one, looks fun! SH-2, havent used it yet. But I was serviving SH-09 quite recently and wasnt honestly really impressed by it. I guess SH-2 is lot further with dual VCO. :) Matrix 1000 is bit different than 6 and interesting trivia - tadaaaaa - Matrix 6 is actually VCO synth. It uses three discrete VCOs that then use computer controlled dividers and feed all voices (bit similar as JX-3P), thats why M6 drifts, need warm up etc.. Matrix 1000 uses "digital" quartz crystal and so all voices are phase locked and rock solid. (I would say that difference between Matrix 1000 and 6 is similar as Juno 60 and 106, both are great, but one is greater). Using it all the time, im fine to program it using panel as well, just need experience, time and mood! Definitely biggest sounding polysynth I own and ever used. I was considering DW-8000 while ago (as poor men's PPG / Synclavier), but then... K3 happened! And Ensoniq pieces, seem really amazing, but room is limited. :) K3 is really insanely versatile, used it a lot in my scoring works and for all the cases where that interesting digital/analog sound is welcomed, friend called it the most analog sounding digital instrument. And honestly.. K3 has the hugest bass and bottoms from all synths I even used. Continue tommorow ;-)
Lets go again! SH-101 I find it way too overhyped and not interesting at all for what it costs, personal opinion. Polivoks is soundwise more like a MS-20 alternative and totally more interesting than SH-101, awesome :). I have the DX7 mk1 and thing that is often not mentioned is the quality of keyboard and action, personally really like it as "highend" playable midi controller outside of the classic FM sounds. Also DX7 can be found for even lot less than 500$ currently and as long it is in reasonable shape, its nobrainer. SY77 is my friend's favourite, its fantastic! I was considering SY99, but classic size/room problems.. :) JD-800 again my size/room problems.. :D I dived into XV-3080 rack module in the end and getting pretty much exactly the sound and timbers I was looking for. Wavestation is such a vibe as well, at some point I would like to get rack version. Best vintage sampler... DSS-1, absolutely! I want it at some point, when size/room problems wont be a problems. :) And the size was totally necessary (it so crazy packed with electronics, both digital and analog..), if PS-3300 was Korg's 70's over the top flagship, the DSS-1 is same for 80's. I actually used quite many times Alpha Juno for acid things. Try it. :) K4 is highly recommended. Great machine! D-50 is legendary for a reason and agree, im bored by M1 even I fully understand the impact and usefullness for general musicians back then. Mono/Poly is fantastic and can be found cheap (under 1000$), but similary as Polysix it really needs proper servicing or it ll start being unreliable and annoying to use (drifting oscilators etc). Check out Sebastian Galassi channel to see M/P used by master, will be inspired. :) Never had Chroma in my hands, but sounds exactly as it looks. Big bright and 80s. :) You definitely made me interested. Couple things for you to look into and deep dive.. Casio synthesizers, both digital and hybrid ones (digital sounds and analog filters), Kawai and old Teisco pieces (they are ridiculously cool), Akai synths (VX-600 exists!) and Italian synths! All the best and again.. Fantastic job!
@MadelnMachines if you want the samples / Soundfonts I sampled my favorite patches from the card and elsewhere for my M1 library Revenant: vultureculture.live/products/revenant-m1-vintage-digital-pads
Not to mention you can still get a hold of a D-50 via the V-Synth VC1 card (pre-installed in the XT), from comparisons it seems like a nearly 100% spot on true D-50 engine
@@VultureCulture Okay dude that’s cool definitely but it ain’t worth that unless I’m missing something. I bought mine for £75 about 4 years ago and have never seen them for north of £100. Folks who buy stuff at inflated prices are often newbies who don’t understand second hand prices well too and make impulse buys but anyways congrats.
Hahahah... the beard... classic....I was just watching BTJunkie show off his latest $200,000 modular synth.:) I got a DX7 IIFD back in 1992 for $600. The prices really haven't changed, I highly recommend one. I actually do have a prophet VS, but I got it of E-Bay for $1,000 back when. They are not worth what people are asking vow.
As a beginner with serious intentions and or potential consider the Roland Fantom 06, Korg Nautilus 61 and Yamaha MODX6 they go between €1250-1750 and are great bread butter synths to have as a basis of your set up. To later add water with FM, wavetable, VA, analog etc. Owning a synth like this is fundamental to me. If you're not into bread or butter but wanna play the "I am different" part I'd check on the GAIA 2 from Roland and KingKorg NEO. Got a Jupiter 50 (bread & butter), a KingKorg 61 keys (VA) and Roland SH-4d as a TR-8s. Total damage about $ 3250 with a Tascam 24 track mixer/recorder and monitors.
That's a very different (but very valid) approach than what I would consider recommending - do you think most beginners would find the workstations challenging?
@@VultureCulture Workstations with lineair sequencer are challenging I think. As a beginner a step sequencer would be in general a better approach (for me). What was missing when I started was information that was correct, even subjective information can be helpfull if interpreted the right way. It boils down to two things. Do you want to play or want to learn synthesis and make a choice based on that.
