Hi Doctor mix, do you download a Chordana and buying a Casio CTX keyboard for you ?

@MatthewChristianMurray Год назад

I have Vintage Vault 3. There are some really good sounds in it. Still, I haven’t seen anything to make me think I need VV4.

@dmitribovski1292 Год назад

You missed the Yamaha GX1 it should be number 1.

@ChrisFotopoulos Год назад

In my opinion Synclavier & Fairlight should be on that list !

@ChrisOBrien666 Год назад

I was also expecting to see Synclavier on this list somewhere…

@sundaymorningmassradioshow8624 9 месяцев назад

dr mix does not like sampler.... I see this lol

@WilliamCharlesShaver 5 месяцев назад

And the Yamaha GX 1…

@rossstanley3912 16 дней назад

Fully loaded Synclavier systems went for upwards of $1,000,000, and were capable of FM/additive synthesis in addition to sampling.

@carbonatedbrainsauce Год назад

There are other synths that are probably more expensive, but they are so rare that they hardly come up for sale so prices are hard to find. For example, Yamaha GX-1, EMS Synthi 100, and a complete Roland System 700.

Let’s hope UVI continues to grow since the Image Line acquisition. Falcon is probably the best software out there.

@chrisbarton708 Год назад

The “Switched-on Bach” record was a sight to see. My mom had that when I was a kid. I imagine the big reason for high cost is because these synths and their components are becoming more irreplaceable. Plus their innards are so uniquely designed and complex. It would be nice to see a video on the 10 oldest synths. Thanks Claudio.

I was expecting the Fairlight CM1 to at Number 1. I seem to remember it being priced around £19~20,000 back in the early 80s so I cannot imagine what it must be priced at now, assuming there are still some out there. Thanks for another great show. Keep up the good work !

@MFitz12 Год назад

Used ones I don't think command much these days.

@thejollyjoker187 Год назад

I thought of that too but I guess it was excluded from the list for being mainly a sampler and not a synthesizer in the classic notion..

@mikiex Год назад

Its kind of hard to justify its price being really high because its one of the easier synths to recreate.

@0Zebadee0 Год назад

@@synthland4526 Wow! I bet they've probably deleted all their music files on it though ....

@FailedMuso Год назад

A Series III should set you back no more than £20K these days. I have a maxed out, restored Series III here ready for sale soon at around £16,500. A Series IIx in full working order should cost you no more than £12-£15K. Anything more than that is ridiculous and the seller is clearly trying to milk you. Add a few £K if the machine has famous provenance.

@bengbangtbeats Год назад

Your enthousiasme is so dope to watch, only reason i watch your videos - great work

@1sostatic Год назад

I did my electronic apprenticeship restoring most of the analogue synths on here. ...very nice that owners like Dr. Mix keep them alive . I had a DX5, and an EMS vocoder. Though, I would have put the Oberheim Matrix 12 in this list.

@synthof Год назад

@DJZeroz Год назад

excellent video Claudio. Personally I thought the Yamaha GX-1 was the most expensive, I was surprised to see the CS-80 instead of the great GX-1. Greetings!!

@whisperdancer Год назад

Me too. But I guess the GX1 is somewhat an oddity: a synthesiser trapped in the body of an organ or an organ that thinks its a synthesiser.

@TachyBunker Год назад

Yup. But im also wondering if some famous giant modular configurations could instead take the cake

@timburdsey Год назад

Agreed. I was waiting for the GX to pop up.

@modulartjapan2212 Год назад

He should change the title of the video. About 3/4 of those synths are far from being the most expensive around. The Colossus just seems to be a clone of the mighty EMS Synthi 100. If the Analogue Solution synth is worth 30,000 Pounds, I wonder how much is the EMS these days... Also, I sold my Roland System-700 full system for 30,000$ more than 10 years ago. How much would it be worth today? And such a synth doesn't even make it to the list... Same for the super hyper extremely rare Yamaha VP-1 or GX-1. Way rarer than a DX1 and therefore far more expensive. And the list can go on...

@timburdsey Год назад

@@modulartjapan2212 I think we can cut Dr Mix some slack here. These lists are always subjective to an extent. I do take your point, but I don’t think it invalidates the good-natured intent behind this exercise. It’s clear that the good doctor was merely seeking to illustrate the inclusion of the items on the list by finding the most expensive synths _available to buy_ at the moment. Greetings and much respect from the UK to our synthesizer brothers and sisters in Japan.

I would consider PS3300 instead of 3200 (one more oscillator). Then Fairlight and Synclavier. I love Elka Synthex and I consider it better than a Prophet or an Oberheim. But Synthex is now very expensive only because there aren't many available.

Surprised the Waldorf Wave isn't on there. I've seen a grand total of two for sale in the last five years. Arguably the Korg PS-3300 and the Yamaha GX-1 should be on the list but they are nigh-unobtanium and make the PS-3200 and CS-80 seem like achievable dreams, LOL.

@JonathanKayne 11 месяцев назад

So back when I was a high school graduate I worked for Moog and built a lot of the modules for the modular systems during their reissue. The amount of work put into those really justifies the price. The whole thing is built by hand. Every resistor and wire is hand soldered. I built a system 55 and that took me a solid week to harness up. It was a challenge but a lot of fun!

@Mannizilla Год назад

As Boris Blank once said "There are many Samplers, but nothing compares to the sound of a Fairlight". I think it's very expensive too, and of course the Synclavier. Mike Oldfield owned two Fairlights and Laurie Anderson used the Synclavier.

@2fathomsdeeper Год назад

Peter Buffet used a Synclavier for the premier of Spirit Dance in Green Bay. Everyone was told to not even breathe on it as it was touchy mechanically.

@tiespunkU Год назад

@raincells Год назад

Great video and lots of fun to watch (as are all your videos). Some soft synths are so good these days, that it doesn't seem worth paying a premium for a vintage synth. The UVI examples you played sound amazing. However, there is an intrinsic value for collectors.

@Antara755 Год назад

HAHAHA, love the reference to The Party, Peter Sellers talking to the parrot: "Birdie num, num" !

@scottk3292 Год назад

I'd love to see a video on the technical complexities of trying to replicate (patent issues aside for the moment) the classic synthesizers. For Instance: did Yamaha have their own sound ICs, giving them a unique sound? Did the CS-80 use very old-school components (resisters, capacitors, etc.) that act differently from modern components? One to talk about would be Deckard's Dream. I wonder how close it comes to the sound of a CS-80. How much extra work did they have to do in order to imitate the way a vintage xyz component would act?

@Daniele-music 10 месяцев назад

I found a Moog Emerson modular synth that cost 150000$, although it was sold a couple years ago. Another synth that you skimmed over a tad was the arp 2500 with going for 100000$ without taxes.

One that came to mind when I saw the title was the Knifonium. It used to sell for around $15k, but I imagine the maker has raised the price somewhat since its first release. Its claim to fame is using vacuum tubes rather than capacitors for the circuitry, I guess making it more analogue than anyone else can boast.

@Doctormix Год назад

@avsystem3142 Год назад

Vacuum tubes and capacitors are not substitutes for one another in any analog circuit. A vacuum tube is no more "analog" than a discrete transistor, but superior if you want to heat up a workspace.
