A visit to my good friend Tom to buy (for the 2nd time!) a classic PPG synth from him. We spent a few hours in his studio and went through his equipment, that features many classic pieces of gear. Fired up the newly acquired Zhiyun Smooth Q and iPhone X, and this is a condensed "best of" version of the visit. A huge thank you to Tom for sharing his knowledge and demonstrating the gear for us!

Thanks for the tour, Tom! It's so great to see a collection of such unique gear. Truly amazing! And it's nice to see a modern studio where a computer is not the center of it all.

It’s really not that bad.....My studio is bigger and you only turn on what you are using when your using it. The rest sits in the gear room when you need it... The big studio bills are running SSL desks 24/7 in a comecial studio which make income and are tax deductible. The big bills at this home use level are the maintenance cost of the equipment.

Absolute Media....Im not sure what you mean.....Its a studio tour from memory...

@drorlando2416 4 года назад

Absolute Media ....There where valve synths machines made in the 1920 & 1930’s but they where experimental. All modern synth are not valve based to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks for the fascinating and inspiring video! Content can't get much better than this! It's clear that each piece of gear here was selected with great experience and care. It was captivating to watch and hear all the insights to what makes some of the instruments (like the K250) so special. Tom seems like someone who's very skilled at maintaining and servicing his gear. What might be an interesting video topic to some Synthmania viewers would be some basic advice and wisdom on assessing, maintaining and servicing vintage gear and/or stories and wisdom about purchasing and selling gear on-line.

Excellent - New Order hated the Marshall Time Modulator because Hannett tinkered around endlessly with them. They called them "Marshall Time Wasters". I love them.

10.52 - A Sycologic M16 midi switcher! I really wish someone would replicate these. Rick Wakeman buys them up secondhand whenever he sees them and swears by them. I know midi din is old tech essentially, but it would be so nice just to route devices without using a plethora of merge boxes etc... Excellent stuff!

@hubaswift7640 6 лет назад

I really appreciate that you took the time to play and mess around with some of the more odd-ball gear, it made for a very great studio tour. Tom seems like a real nice guy. Is there anywhere that we can find Toms music, or does he mostly mess around and have fun on his synths (like me!)?

@Alesismmt8 6 лет назад

Morning Tom! For the rest of the people who commented on the studio - it is too bad he wasn't interviewed back in the early 2000's - at that time, the count of pre-midi, unique analog synths - was what - around 74? (Plus the demolished B3 organ) Nice interview and it looks great - very tidy!

Your next studio tour should be your own; just you talking about every single piece of gear like you did in this and briefly demoing your favorite sounds.

ola, fx paradise ;) fine roland sound, spectralis and other monster, friendly guys ;) cheers

@jan-martinulvag1953 4 года назад

Its scary that he does not make music. Tens of thousands of people around the world are into synths but cant create anything. So weird. Its like someone collecting paint and brushes but never paints.

@wordofmo 4 года назад

Jan-Martin Ulvåg hopefully, he has studio cats coming in to play. But, maybe it’s just a hobby and he’s just a collector. Who knows?

@foreverseethe 4 года назад

@@holygeneration7 what a shame; that's so much money to spend to not be a musician!

@someoneacomputer1905 4 года назад

@@foreverseethe synths are also tools for sound design right ? Keyboards in this context are simply interfaces to trigger sounds, but it's not an obligation to use it. It's more of a tradition than anyhting else. We've seen keyboards everywhere, yeah, but a sequencer (a DAW too) can produce great results, if you're chasing sound, and not so much looking to perform.

@krist0sh 6 лет назад

Nice tour! I'd love to have some of those older synths.... but next time, consider bringing an external audio recorder. Would definitely improve the audio, even though it sounds just fine as it is.

@SynthManiaDotCom 6 лет назад

Thank you, actually, here I am using an external audio recorder already. You can see it taped with velcro above the MacBeth Elements.

@krist0sh 6 лет назад

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but it doesn't look like that's connected to the mixing console? The talking sounds good, it's just if the console had been directly connected to it I think it would have a bit better.

@SynthManiaDotCom 6 лет назад

I see. You meant to say, get the audio feed from the console. We didn't have the proper adapter. I interpreted it that you thought the audio was coming from the iPhone's built in mic. I should have specified that I was using a PCM recorder. As a plus, most of the studio tours out there are just people talking about the gear, never demonstrating it. I think this one has the audio as a bonus, at least compared to most of the others
