holy cow! This RU-vid video is the future we were promised - television showing exactly what we want, instead of for the largest possible audience! Wunderbar!

I think about this all the time. Truly an amazing time to be alive

@enricopallazzoofficial 10 месяцев назад

This channel is steadily becoming one of the best synths channel on RU-vid. I really really enjoy Anthony and his knowledge on things. I'm learning a lot of things about synthesis and arrangment.

@javd007 9 месяцев назад

Agreed. It’s getting good . Real good .

@jeffconley819 8 месяцев назад

Man your not kidding. I started messing with these things in the mid to late 70’s then gradually got into other things like Hammonds( b3). But still love synths and I find I’m getting back into them at 60plus years old.

@pieceworkstudios 7 месяцев назад

Oh man, that Juno... 😭. I had one in beautiful shape and traded it... Definitely a regret 😞. Maybe I'll find another someday

Possibly the best two hours I have ever spent on RU-vid. Thanks, guys.

@neilloughran4437 10 месяцев назад

This is one of the best synth videos I have ever seen. I remember coming across a cachet of 1970s magazines back in the 80s/90s and remember the initial UK reviews of the Prophet and CS80... the prices were similar to the price of a small terraced house in my town. I'd never really thought much of the CS80 until now... what an amazing timbre especially with the ring mod...

@Scotty_Russell_Music 9 месяцев назад

My eyes teared up a little when they turned the OBX8 voice around to see the back of it. Stendhal syndrome moment for sure. So beautiful. A chaotic marvel. God bless the geniuses that make these gorgeous soulful instruments. It's easy to forget the miraculous human achievements in the technologies that surround us every day. What a time to be alive.

I expect to see little Sims people walking around and screaming when Rob pulls out the "city" cards with parks and warehouses. Thank you both, Anthony & Rob!! What a rare treat to see the synths inside out.

@fuzz7boy 10 месяцев назад

What an utterly captivating 2 hours of informative video. To see the insides of these vintage analog synths, and hear from an expert on their inner workings, is pure entertainment.

@kabirchoudhary1359 10 месяцев назад

SO much value. Thank you Anthony, I am 20 years old and only recently got into Michael Jackson and the 80s sound. You're truly a pioneer. As a musician, there is so much to unpack and to learn from and i'm very grateful to have firsthand access to this knowledge. I just wanted to acknowledge my appreciation for your stuff. Thank you. I hope this channel gets the platform it so deserves

There was this guy I bought a full Roland System 100 from in Sydney Australia, around 1997. His name was Dave... he honestly had 2 more full system 100's, Minimoogs, Korg PS-3100, Yamaha CS60... this was just the stuff I saw. The was a heap more there. He had a mixing desk from an radio station (Triple M), a massive wooden Marimba. At that time he lived in an old warehouse around the St. Peters area. He said he was in a band in the 80s that toured Japan.

@falangistavaleroso9689 10 месяцев назад

I also own a EMS Sinthy A and a 909, sadly sold my mint 808 12 years ago and my 2600, yet own tons of jewels... and more to come. Prophet 2002+ coming from Germany now ( got 2 in the 90s), great trick yours with the 2600. I do with my Minimoog. Bob signed it for me in Barcelona one year before he passed away. Moog module with a real clock on it, funny!

@eyeprod3101 10 месяцев назад

This ruled. The ARP 2600 sounded better to me than the Moog Modular. Both were nice, ARP just sounds cooler to my ears.

@toolman8269 10 месяцев назад

OH WOW! So, I thought I would have to break the viewing of this into more than one session, but I just could not stop watching! Very engrossing video. I felt like I was just hanging out with two synth nerds. Although I am no expert player or tech, I was able to follow along fairly well, but I did learn quite a bit as well! Excellent content! I was grinning from ear to ear through the whole video and even clapping at times. Like Anthony stated, it's so great when you have someone with whom you can share the enthusiasm of a subject and really just roll on and on. I could have watched an even longer video and enjoyed every minute. The 20 questions section was great! The shoot-out at the end was incredible! I just gotta get the patch info for that 2600 bass sound! Looking forward to it, Anthony! Very much looking forward to more phenomenal content like this. A real treat for sure.

@PracticalCat 10 месяцев назад

As someone who is currently designing my own synth I really love this! Yes the hakko fx 88d is the boss! And to all those diyers out there; you dont need an expensive scope. All I have is a crappy ebay kit scope and its been enough. And for my dmm im using a cheap Aldi multimeter from 2009 and its bang on :)

@francisseidel8014 10 месяцев назад

It's so cool seeing Rob talk about the Zilog Z-80 in the Prophet. My first experience writing machine language programs in the 1970s was on an Altair 8800 with an Intel 8008 at the college where my dad was a professor. Then soon afterwards I got a Radio Shack TRS80 Model I, which used the Z80 as a CPU. I dove head first into programming it. I wrote many assembly/machine language programs to solve problems back in the day, including a print queuing system so that I could still use the computer while printing, instead of having to wait for it to finish. The Z80 was such an incredible chip in its day. Even used in the space shuttle because it was so stable during liftoff. Brings back so many fun memories.

Thank you so much for this episode! A few month I had the same idea and wanted to know how a analog synth makes sounds. I bought the DIY analog synth from Moritz Klein and Erica Synth. They delieverd the kit an a manual so I could learn step by step how this synth works. It was a amazing journey and I own a modular synth 😊

@RaquelFoster 10 месяцев назад

I love this stuff. The CS-80 is very compact compared to the Oberheim Eight Voice! You're not gonna carry the Oberheim up the stairs yourself! Just FYI, if you're going to fly around a room like 11:42 you'd probably be better off using an iPhone in Action Mode if you're not using a gimbal. The camera is moving dramatically through all three axes, and there's massive blur. It's hard to watch when it's not stable in at least one axis. The shutter angle determines how much the frames blur together, and it looks like it's manually been set higher than 180° which is very high. If you're not going for a trippy/dreamy/nauseating look you need a tighter shutter with a higher ISO. Also it looks like this was shot in 24 FPS then converted to 30 FPS, which adds a stutter during panning.

Thank you for this, Anthony. I bought & started using my first synth in 1984 and never learned any of the internal machinations either. I've long had a complex about that, but it's awesome to know that someone of your accomplishments is just like me. I appreciate your way with metaphors when seeking to understand the concepts presented, it really made things easier to follow. All the best!

@boldstandard 10 месяцев назад

Around 30 minutes in, Mr. Marinelli asks how oscillators make sound, and I want to see if I understand it right. The VCO has a capacitor that gets charged, and quickly discharges when it hits a threshold. The amount of time it takes to get to that threshold is determined by the voltage coming in, which determines the pitch, but the amount of time it takes to discharge is constant (?), which is what determines the waveform- in the case of the CS80, sawtooth. This signal is then sent out of the oscillator and processed, but it’s not a sound until it is sent to a speaker. Once the signal gets to the speaker, it’s kind of similar to the capacitor, I think, but now it is a magnet that’s being driven back and forth by the signal. So, absent any other processing besides amplification, the speaker cone’s movement would mirror the charging and discharging of the capacitor in the VCO. As the signal ramps up, the speaker cone moves in one direction, and then when the signal drops, it quickly returns to its starting position. This in turn moves the air in the room or headphones as the case may be. When the cone moves out, air pressure increases, cone moves back, air pressure decreases. Our ear drums detect these fluctuations in air pressure and nerves in our inner ear actually convert it into a new electrical signal, and our brains then interpret it as a sound. And we can tell the waveform, pitch, frequency, and all that other stuff going on and deduce the whole process that created it, and troubleshoot if something goes wrong. Can anyone say if I got that all correctly?? Fascinating stuff..
