Why wouldn’t it “still” have the magic?? Good instruments are good forever. Good music has no expiration date.

The ax80 sounds very warm and silky. I was always a fan of the 60, but at the time I had mine there was no sound demos of the 80. It sounds more like a Jupiter.

If I recall correctly it was always Univox. Korg had nothing to do with it until maybe 85-87 when they bought it. I remember messing around with one in a music store in the '70s and it clearly read Univox. They also had some effects boxes that were good - along with Musictronics (Mutron), Maestro etc.. I was always an ARP man not Moog or anything else.. This particular synthesizer was put on the map by Gino Vannelli (Joe) - He was able to get more out of it than anybody else that I heard.

Are the sounds at 9:30 sequenced or lfo? Or arpeggiator maybe since different then lfo to me

Because there are not many out there! Never got one in my hands yet! There should be not so negative things around. We all theside as adults where we wanna spend our many, but even when i do not buy one, someone else can be a big fan of! I once had a synth were for me its limitations were its strength. Great is what inspires you...

In your demo i would say the m has more body it sounds more natural. the modwave is a bit thinner if it goes bold it brings not the fundament of the m. but in the mid/hi area it sounds very nice and ambient ready. the m goes from where the mw2xt ended i would say. Both are very usable for their strengths.

Oberheim definitely isn’t a one size fits all synth. Just as an artist will go to different paint manufacturers, so is the same for specific synths. Oberheim is more of a character synth.

The CS and DX is a nice tool for recreating retro video game music..

Very good review <3 cheers

True😂😂😂 stop fiddling around

Thank you for creating this video! You've helped me with my decision on which synthesizer to purchase. Great video!!!

The previous one had larger display which failed notoriously, so they used smaller screen in newer model 🤔

Stop the waffle

Get Juno-X instead.

The first sound you demo on the JP4 blows the Poly6 right out of the water...but eventually 4 voice limit rears its head.

It was a big trade off...and i wanted the polyphony so i bought the Polysix...but the Jupiter 4 was a bit cleaner sounding but much more expensive.

You sound like a hill billy when you pronounce “behemoth” as “bow-he-muth”. Don’t use words you don’t know how to pronounce Poindexter, your glasses belie your level of intelligence.

just seeing this video - thank you for posting. Completely out of morbid curiosity - and because you're an enthusiast - which synth of "today" is you personal favorite? I ask because I am considering an Oberheim but now am wondering if it's going to be my "cup-of-tea" or not! Thanks so much - take care!

If you choose outside of the few flagship vintage synths, like the Jupiters, the Juno-6/60/106, Oberheims, Prophets, CSs etc., you can actually get really nice stuff for fairly little money. And outside of mini-key models or Behringer, the price of modern synths is actually quite high in many cases. It depends a bit on what you want, but brand new synths are actually not generally very affordable. It also depends greatly on what kind of sounds you want to get out of them. I wholeheartedly agree with the argument about maintenance and such with vintage gear though. That is an obvious downside.

This synth will retrigger the envelopes everytime the DCOs are edited while playing. Is that how the originals behaved or what's going on?

4 mins in and I was cringing and realizing this hipster looking YT trophy showing uppity was tripping over himself, it was too painful to watch, I will have to mention this when choose " don't recommend channel", gross misconduct are the words I'm looking for.

I got a lot of work done with that keyboard. When I switched to computer apps to run the sounds, I faded. The ESQ 1 got parked..It never left my big table..Just got covered up with cloth. It's a super early metal version.

Hi Zach! Sorry for the (mega) late reply. I wish I was working with the circuit modelling team, but I work in patch and sound design with Roland Japan. Essentially they build "the car" and my job is to "drive" it thru the race track.

Rhodes has tins as signal source. It does not need tuning. On the contrary, Yamaha has strings same as classic piano and needs tuning, specially if it is being used as touring instrument. That is the big advantage for Rhodes.

Doesn’t make sense to do completely different sounds, oscillator configurations, and performances to compare two instruments.

Do music listeners even give a $hit how legit your drum machine is?😂

Puhh. I never had such shitty sounds out of a juno 60... worse than the factory presets, you immediately changed thoose when the ju60 arrived.. prest surfjng gasnt been an option with the junos, and that was s good thing. This demo misses to dial in the sweetspots in the patches.. nobody would use that sounds in production, so why demoing a synth with them. Do you try to bring the second hand prices down? Clever.. that might actually work.

The presenter seems like a great guy, but man he plays some weird $hit on synths! 😅

i'm buying one as soon as i can for around 1850 euro its a bargain for what it can do

The Waldorf doesn't sound that good.

What a great exposition and presenter.👌🙂 Thanks for posting 🙂

Another point worth mentioning is that a paraphonic synth can use only one oscillator for each note of a chord while a polysynth (generally) has two oscillators for each voice, so a polysynth can produce much richer timbres than a monosynth played paraphonically.

You have a broken screen too! That is Fantastic!

The synth that ate itself and went pop!

16-bit vs. 24 bits: Older modules, such as the JV series, use 16 bits, which was common at the time. Newer models, such as the Integra-7 and the XV series, use 24 bits, allowing for better sound quality with more detail and a wider dynamic range. 24-bit: 24-bit depth offers greater resolution and is capable of capturing and reproducing a wider range of dynamics, which is especially important for complex, expressive sounds.

I already have the Roland Cloud TR-606, and I'm wondering if, in terms of sound, it would bring me something new or different to purchase the TR-06?

200$?!?! You were robbed!

YES IT IS!

I think Blue Monday is one of my favorite songs ever. Every time he sings “How does it feel” I get goosebumps

Can I add Bluetooth to it to send my play to a speaker thought it had Bluetooth the 88 sd

I think it was a bit unclear in this video but the Korg M1 uses tone generation in all it's patches if not all of them. It is a misnomer that the M1 is a rompler. It's just like the D-50 with an attack sample then maybe a loop point, all supported with generated tones to add dynamic range and clarity.

The M1 is just recordings to me. It could be 2MB piece of software to my ears. People just wanted realistic instruments. That's all. But now we have that, it's redundant. The D-50 has no bass and is a gimmick. The DX7 is a synthesizer which is an instrument with unlimited potential.

As I wrote in the other video Alamo Music uploaded about the CP line, I wish I hadn’t turned loose of my CP70. I should’ve kept it, had the sustain system fixed and had (whatever was causing) the white noise in the outputs cleaned out. I daydream about getting a 80 and having it MIDIfied. That has been done before, right? I know the CP70M and the CP60 both have it.

I think this Kyra sounds amazing to me. What real issues it have?

The Atari equivalent of the Nord stage if the Nord is a PS5

Your playing is nuts...thank you for really showcasing these synths in such a varied way.

Those patches sound really thin.

It’s totally worth it from the aspect of originality and inspiration.
