    What makes this video awesome is that after he plays a piece of music on a synth we hear it in an actual production. Love that!

    SYNTH PARTY PLEASE READ this. 5.25" floppy disks are nearing the end of their life. the magnetism starts wearing out 10-20 years. maybe a bit longer if not being used and kept in a super safe environment, but this guy really needs to have that data archived by someone such as The Internet Archive. Not only would he preserve them forever, but let some others check out some of the audio content.
    Thanks

    "When Hoarders Meet Musicians, Synth Edition." Love the format of this video, telling us about synths, then seeing (or rather hearing) them in actual songs. Fantastic! I'm a subscriber. Also, love Robert's passion for synths and his awesome collection.

    • @johngorgis
      @johngorgis Před 7 lety

      David Picarazzi it's a great synth but way overpriced for what it is, check out the Jupiter 6 it's more exiting imo

    • @niklasgindler4571
      @niklasgindler4571 Před 7 lety

      I absolutely LOVE my 60. I paid 1500 and don't regret it for second..

    • @maccagrabme
      @maccagrabme Před 6 lety

      I personally would look at either a Alpha Juno or Jx3p if I was starting out and wanted that Juno sound, both synths sound very close and even better for certain sounds, the 3P is far better for pads. There are much better synths out there for the money and its not worth spending a fortune on vintage nowadays esp when you could get the Ju06 emulation for very little, put it through a guitar pedal and have a very, very close sound to the real deal.

    • @MisAnnThorpe
      @MisAnnThorpe Před 6 lety +1

      That's fine but the Jupiter 6 is about twice the price of the Juno 60!

    • @chieftp
      @chieftp Před 6 lety +1

      $1500 for a juno 60??????????????? holy shit! I bought 2 of them for $300 each around 2002 on the same day from 2 different people. I only kept them for a few months because they're more like an organ than a synth - ridiculously limited - one oscillator, not much pitch range and no glide. I bought a prophet rev2 new for $1500 a while back and just couldn't fathom anybody paying that for a budget synth from the 80s.

  • @robertcrystals

    Wow some great stuff! Brought back many memories! In the 80's I had a Juno 6 , which I changed to a JX-3P with PG200 (best synth I ever owned), then a JX-8P with PG-800. I had a TR707 too! I had a Moog Source for a while but it broke shortly after I got it so the dealer swapped it for an OSCar!! Nowadays just mucking about with a JD-Xi and Logic Pro!!

And is it big enough on the depth part to keep the monitor and stuff? Is that a 27" or 24" Cinema Display you got there? I've got an iMac 27" and wonder if it will fit.

If so, i would like to talk more with you about possibly playing synth on 3 full albums of new 80s sounding pop/rock music, with/for me. And all the other opportunities i have to offer. IF you would like to talk more about this? please get back to me and we will talk. Thank you

      @dzre2087 Před 6 lety

      it's never been worse! I own a new SONY, FUJI, NIKON, CANON, and SAMSUNG cameras.
      NOT ONE has an auto-focus that works almost ever.
      (IT's ALL MADE IN CHINA, in the same junky factories.)
      (And it can only get worse and worse as Capitalism requires ALL companies reduce the quality of the product every year, and reduce labor costs. They must show GROWTH every year, but that's impossible. That's why even soda pop has 3 inches of empty bottle at the top, despite still lying that it's 2 liters.)

Seeing as I can already predict your answer..... that JX3P patch was seriously ugly sounding! Seriously though that it a pretty amazing collection of synths you've assembled there. The Octave Cat is really something of a secret weapon and so much more than a mere Odyssey rip off as some unenlightened people would have you believe. In fact, I'd say it slays the Odyssey.
