@@karlmeadows4986 Those are today’s prices for a used one. And they’re only going up. I acquired my Jupiter-8 back in 2008 for about $7000. I sold it in late-2010 for the absurd price of $10,500. Couldn’t believe someone would be dumb enough to pay that price…😂. Turns out that I’M the dummy for selling it, because they’ve appreciated to the crack-smoking price of around $25K today in 2022!!!

@jakegiossi7447 Год назад

@@polytonic6493 You’re not even talking about the same thing. I’m talking about valuable, classic analog synths, like the Roland Jupiter 6 & 8. In the USA, M1, D-50 and DX7 prices are very comparable as they are in your country, as well as some Minimoogs (though not the vintage 1970s models, which are selling in the $6000-$10,000 range). To compare mass-produced digital synths with the classic analogs is inaccurate at best and nonsensical at worst. They aren’t remotely in the same category.

@Mansardian Год назад

And the ARP?

@FilmlessSoundtracks Год назад

Well I purchased my first synth the MiniMoog back in 1973. I was 13 years old. I sold it for the Oberheim OBXA when I went to music school at Ithaca. I was the first student to bring a synthesizer to the school. I also was the first to play it in the Stage Band, “Ithaca Jazz Rock Ensemble”. I love this run through of the 10 best of all time. I am now 62 and moved into VST instruments in my fifties. I have 7 albums out at this time and do “Film Music” as well. I love your style. I love even more your playing of each of your 10 best. The presentation is flawless and you definitely deserve credit for showing when, where and how these synths played into our life long fascination with these iconic Synthesizers! Great job!

Juno 60 deserves at least honorable mention. I used to play it in high school band & choir. Still own my Roland Alpha Juno 2

@oldschoolchartist 6 месяцев назад

The Juno 60 had a quality to the sound that very few synths had. I can only describe it as 'open and flowing' or 'unforced'. Some synths sound 'pinched' while the Juno 60 was relaxed and open in just about anything it produced. Part of it might have been the excellent chorus it had but I think it went beyond just that.

@stephaneethier 2 года назад

I am the lucky owner of a CS 80, which I bought in 1991 for the Canadian equivalent of $325 USD. It’s in great shape and it’s not for sale! It was featured pretty extensively on the 2013 album Reflektor, by my fellow Montreal citizens Arcade Fire… I can confirm: it does sound like a dream, Claudio!

Oh the 90s when you could find deals for dirt on what is today's gold. I got my Jupter 8 in 1998 for $300 with anvil flight case. And I wasn't even the first person to look at it. Picked up a Juno 60 the same year for $200. Still have em both. But once in a while you can still find a deal. Picked up a non-working DX7 last year for $50. Just needed new battery and some presets reloaded. Condition is a 9 out of 10. But you have to be looking all the time. If only we could hire Doc Brown to take us back to the mid to late 90s at 88 mph!

I would suggest making a video of modern “copies“ or “rebirths“ of old vintage synthesizers, like the Jupiter 80 by Roland, and then compare them to their original synths. 👍

@wolly4u Год назад

Great video! I felt like being placed back in time when I saw these wonderful devices. I actually got some of these: D-50 expander, Prophet 5 and the legendary DX7. My wife was playing it and I created the sounds. I could even manage to create a wonderful Hammond organ sound on the DX-7 we couldn’t find anywhere else. A short story at the sideline: The samples of the D-50 are mostly sampled and imported from a Prophet VS shortly before they got bankrupt. I know it from the person who did it for Korg and also have been in that studio where he was working on it. There still other synthesizers that should be mentioned but I think that these are the most influential ones.

Depeche Mode we’re huge synth music pioneers and were heavy users of Emulator sampling synthesizers. Taking a sample of something like banging on metal pipes, combining it with other instruments and turning it into music was truly groundbreaking in the early 1980’s!

Bitterly regret giving them all away! Got me a Yamaha C108 upright and now have a Kawai GE30. Just need to play it more. Still hanker for synthesisers though.

Great list. One that I'm surprised not to see is the Ensoniq Mirage - the Mirage really brought sampling to the masses (despite its relatively poor sound quality), as it was a MUCH more affordable way to get into it than the other options available at the time. I worked at a music store in the 80's, and we sold a TON of Mirages.

It’s a shame that the Andromeda used less than great components, it could have been a long-lived legend of retro synths. Alesis really dropped the ball by not making a high quality re-issue during this time of nostalgic re-issues. If Dave Smith is unafraid to wheel out a $4500 Prophet 10 then it should inspire companies like Alesis and Roland with a genuine analog Jupiter 8 to make everything old new again.

It's interesting to mention that the DX-7 was pretty much built in the SEGA Genesis/MegaDrive. I was born too late to experience 80's music, but I did hear Genesis/Megadrive game music growing up, so the DX-7 indirectly has a special place in my heart :)

@shahidkamal Год назад

It wasn’t quite a DX7. It was more like a cut down DX100. The DX7 has 6 operators, but the Yamaha 2612 in the Genesis had four operators per channel. I wrote sound (and even sample) drivers in 68000 assembler for the Genesis, and music too. It was quite a pain getting samples out of it, but it was just about possible. It was much easier to get good quality music on the Super Nintendo (Super Famicom) because it had a dedicated processor for audio and multiple ADPCM sample channels. I used an Akai S950 to shape samples before importing them for use in the SNES and the Genesis.

I couldnt wait for the 80s to begin, and I wasnt disappointed. The Moog ushered in an incredible synth army - ARP, Korg, Roland, Yamaha, etc... to deliver the all conquering pop music sounds of the 80s and 90s, that thoroughly spoiled us 🙏🏾

Claudio, you forgot to mention Vangelis, while you were talking about the CS-80. He had 2 (or even 3) of them in his studio, and he’s the one responsible of that beautiful Blade Runner soundtrack. In fact most of his creations are just the CS-80.

So right! The CS-80 probably can be called the 'Vangelis' synthesizer, because it aided him in creating most of the sounds for records like Spiral, Chariots of Fire, Blade Runner, Albedo 0.39 and so on. The Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner brass horns and the lead sound from tracks like To The Unknown Man and Hymn are easily 2 of the most recognizable CS-80 patches ever

Doctor Mix, Thank You for the walk down Memory Lane. I've "played" many of these over the years. And a bunch of others as well. The 1980s through to early 1990s was a great time to tinker with different keyboard synths. But my main instrument is the guitar. I think the Korg M1 is probably the best of the bunch for us guitar players that like to tinker with the keys now and then. Bought one new in 1991 and still tinker with it to this day.

I would really include the Moog Modular because, as you mentioned, that really was what started the whole synth revolution with Wendy Carlos' "Switched-on Bach." The other one that had a huge impact, and started the whole self-contained music workstation including recording direct-to-disk was the NED Synclaviar system.

I love this video! You included all the most iconic synths in history so fair. My absolute favourite is the Yamaha CS80, a complete mother of a synthesiser and it’s predecessor, the GX1, a godmother. But, I used to love and still absolute love the Jupiter 8, Oberhiem OB 8 (and OB Xa plus the new OB X8) and Roland D50 to mention the ones in the video. Though I love many others as well! Also the Prophet 5 and Korg M1 and also seeing you did Queen ‘I’m Going Slightly Mad’! 😂

@vdub4216 2 года назад

Nice work as always Claudio - perhaps this list is more of a vintage synth Top 10. Would love to see you rank some modern classics like Virus, Hydrasynth, Peak, Summit, Waldorf etc... there's alot of new toys out there :)

This is a top 10 i'm really struggling to argue with! My only complaint would be that it should be a top 20 so I can add in the ARP Quadra, the EMS Synthi, Emulator II, the Synclavier, the MS-20 ... so many beautiful synths over the years! Oh, then there's the Juno 6 and the.... ok I'll shut up lol

Korg Polysix. Any Juno. Sequential Prophet 600. Yamaha DX7, Korg Poly 800 Casio CZ 101. (not in that order... I probably like the Sequential the best. And maybe the polysix next?? The Yamaha and the Casio are definitely a different machine than the old analog stuff. The casio is super cool to play with and not hard to program [annoying to program, not hard]. Great synth, highly underrated. or at least kinda forgotten about.)

@cosmicaddress7851 2 года назад

The best "top 10" synths rundown I've seen - super informative! I think the top 20 would include the Juno-60 (or 106), JX-8P (=my fav polysynth), PPG, Synclavier, Arp Odyssey, Emulator II, VCS3. A top 10 drum machines would also be interesting to see!

@torbenanschau6641 2 года назад

These are missing indeed and one might argue wether the M1 actually should be in this list then... Otherwise I'm pretty agreeing with this list which feels kinda odd... I only think the OB-Xa/8 should have been higher on this list. I'm still not sure it's really worse than a Jupiter 8?

@gffg387 2 года назад

@@torbenanschau6641 It's a pretty perfect list apart from the D50 and the M1 in my opinion. I would put the Polysix for the Korg and the Odyssey/Emulator II instead of the D50.

@@gffg387 while the D50 and M1 weren't particularly [sound] creative tools, as the video points out they were two of the most influential keyboards of the time - the D50 breathy choir sound was genuinely innovative (and then done to death on every record who wanted that sort of pad), while the M1 piano was a staple of late 80s/early 90s house music... and not just in the studio, but then taking those same sounds out on the road. Their influence on modern music should not be underestimated.

Peter Howell of the BBC radiophonic workshop also had a CS-80 in his studio. He used it to make the bassline for his arrangement of the doctor who theme. He also used an Arp Odyssey, Roland Jupiter 4, EMS 5000 vocoder, and a few others to make his arrangement

Any "Top 10" list is going to be somewhat controversial, but I have to say your selection here is truly comprehensive, taking in decades of music and the evolution of synthesizer technology. Really an excellent, all-inclusive list! Having said that, maybe you could next either repeat this with a list of more recent models, or just survey the more recent models and your thoughts on each. Thanks for sharing!

You have to remember the great sound of the Jupiter 8 really was only 50% of it's charm. When you walked into your local shop as I did and saw one for the first time it was truly astonishing. It looked like super model, slimmer and lighter than a CS80, more memories, dual mode, the best pitch bend and LFO section there's ever been on any synth, and an arpeggiator! It really was the Ferrari of synthesisers and blew everything else away. 😎

@dansretromusic6759 2 года назад

Korg's Polysix deserves an honourable mention in my opinion. Been used by Alphaville, Blancmange, Chvrches, Damon Albarn, Eric Prydz, Jean-Michel Jarre and Tears for Fears (so I'm told) to name but a few - and my mind was blown when I discovered the Toy Elec Sound preset was used on Just Dance by Lady Gaga.

The only band i ever saw with a polysix on TOTP was China Crisis doing Christian in 1982? My channel has that performance on there, and it was what inspired me to buy one in 1983. It was £850 new. Not worth it really, only 32 sounds on there, but very easy to programme and store new sounds on it. I never saw TFF with one though.
