@ The Pack Rat Who doesn't remember such classics as "Merry Talkbox Christmas" (I bought the album) and "Explosion - An Improvised Synth Solo" as well as the ones he plays a guitar through a modular. I still haven't seen a better vid of anyone doing that.
@@youngchool I appreciate your comment more than I can express! I’m so proud of my friend Alex and all that he has achieved…to be mentioned in that short list is an honor. It’s been a rough road and I’m trying with all my might to get back in the groove making and sharing content! Cheers.
@@mootbooxle Oh, so sorry for my delayed response. Thanks for the message. Sorry to hear that it's been rough road for you (recent years has been tough for most of us I guess, cannot believe it will be soon 3 years since COVID lockdown in March '23, next month) And with your talents I am sure you will be 'back in the groove' soon. Just remember you (and Mr. Ball too) have been giving us so much and you have many fans around the world! BIG CHEERS!
the 60f is the first analog synth i ever owned. Bought it 14 years ago and it still makes it on to 95 percent of my productions. Awesome bottom end. Also, i've never actually heard the word "Teisco" pronounced before, except wrongly by me:) Cheers for the vid!
The main problem with that piece of music was that it was too short. I love the Thomas Dolby meets The Buggles with possibly a touch of Yes West thing.
I was actually just saying yesterday that Benn, AudioPilz and yourself are my favourite synth youtubers... and as I’m typing this, I hear BAD GEAR. Love you guys!!
I was tempted to film a shot of me carrying it out of my local Tescos as a joke but what with the pandemic and the fact that it weighs as much as a small car, I decided against it.
I thought it was being probed by aliens, which might be why there was any question about the smoothness of the Teisco's glissando. That gliss is bliss.
The ads weren't even over and I already had clicked the like button as hard as I could. Having Florian on was a treat! And I'm happy you took my advice and continued with your "face reviews" 👍🏻
Dude, if i had seen this video 2 days ago, this end performance would be the best song I've heard on 2020 (it still is). Seriously, this song is an absolutely masterpiece. And who is saying this is a metalhead addicted to progressive metal. Now I'm addicted to your channel.
At first glance this video ticks all the boxes. Heavy accent, listing features, a bit of humor. But upon closer look you can see that it is in fact an Alex Ball video, not an episode of bad gear.
Well that explains why I couldn't find the song. I spent quite awhile looking for that ending song on RU-vid, then Googling the Lyrics, 'cause it sounds so freakin' amazingly awesome, to find out that it's only here at the very end in too short of a duration. Such a tease! LOL!
Man I’ve owned several teisco guitars and seen friends with them. They are such cheap quirky little dudes. Had no idea they ever made synths, very interesting
I always getting excited seeing these videos. I always hope that you add some more of those awesome soundpacks you make.. The song at the ends has some sweet hooks man.
Do you think it might be possible to share some details about that drum sound? Like ALL the details? :-) I‘m hunting down that 80ies big rockpop snare and tom sound for years. I‘m nit a beginner (although it feels like sometimes). I run a big studio with 100+ mics, hundreds of musicians walked in and out over the years. I know about the role of the drummer, the instruments, the skins, the tuning, the room. But man, what you got here at the end sounds insane! Like my fav drum sound for years! So please share all you got about it! P-L-Z !
Same kind of patch, although very different sounding synths. I wonder if his was software based as it's so accurate. Or maybe it's a modern synth with midi or something. I've not seen the film but the soundtrack is making me want to.
@@AlexBallMusic i know he uses midi to sequence the sound. It’s basses of trap hi hats you hear the resemblance after you realise. Not sure what to actually make the sound tho
really nice one, being stuck with my vintage rack not bad sounding, but for quite all of them lack of filter/Amp lfo, it's always pleasure to see how fast you can make sound with those fabulous full sized full analog synth!
@@AlexBallMusic Well my two favorite composers are Ennio Morricone and Riz Ortolani because of their melodic genius. However, for synth music I have to give it up for Goblin and their collaborations with Dario Argento. Highlights include DEEP RED (1975) and SUSPERIA (1977). But there are tons of more obscure composers and who made amazing scores for the trashier giallo and police crime movies. It's a good time.
Sweet!! I saw the 110F reviewed briefly on "Sonic State". I think I made a comment regarding the SX400 .......and here it is on your channel a week later LOL..ta muchly, Alex. You made my day!!
Cool, I can do that when I get a minute. It would need to be without filtering and ensemble I guess, otherwise you're stuck with the setting and the ensemble is a master effect rather than per-note.
Awesome Video! It took me years to get a SX400 imported to the US, and then I found out it had battery damage and had to replace the memory and clean up the board. Worth it. Have an 110F, a 210 and 2x 240s. Love them all.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! I love all of my Teisco synths. I have all of them except the 100f (or is it 100p?). My favs are the SX400, SX240, and s110f. but surprisingly my s60p present synth sounds great too, especially with some flanged delay added. Love the song you made at the end too, well done! :) :) :)
I remember the SX-400 from a brochure I got my hands on in a music store that never sold one. I was struck by the obvious “inspiration” it had from the Jupiter 4 that I was very fond of in the early 80’s and still am. Never ever saw or heard an SX-400 though, until now. Thanks!👍
The humor, artfulness, respect, knowledge, pedagogy that go into your content are spectacular, otherworldly. You are blessed, and are a blessing to idiots like me, who need only click ‘play’ to derive so much joy from your assembly of animated pixels-with-sounds, while only understanding a fraction of the art & science you impart. Thank you.
Hahahaha I predicted all those facial expressions before they appeared lol even the nod on the third. Errr but not the glasses . Fantastic work bringing us a taster of this unusual gem. Happy New year to you way in ad-vanced 👍🏾👍🏾
