[psyfi]

Haunting sounds... I WANT ONE :)

[kryptonenz]

[Chriskkboongg]

Frakinf awesome. David Sylvian was the master of the VS.

Mann, wie der der drückt! Für eine Digitalkiste...Respekt! Kein Wunder, das der VS einer Deiner Lieblinge ist. Die Amis konnten früher die besseren Synths bauen.

@schmittwilli

ja der VS ist extrem vielseitig. von digitaler Kälte bis hin zu warmen Prophet5-Flächen beherrscht er alles. Ich mag den wirklich sehr.

[LatigidGolana]

I bow to the awesomness of the beginning of the Korg Wavestation! Beautiful synth! I miss the Wavestation!

[NosferatuAaacaado]

DEPECHE MOOOOODE

;)

[KeithMMeldrum]

@bjcsupertortoise yeah

[mutantmoments]

wonderful, I saw Vince Clarke using one of these on stage 20+ years ago on an Erasure tour, fantastic synth.....but not as good as a PPG (at least for my own personal taste...)

[retrosound72]

@mutantmoments

I like both. sure the PPG is the king of digital madness.

[RichieEastside]

Nice piece of equipment.

[musictec1]

[DarkShock20]

I really dig the sound of this synth :)

[thesynthesist]

Nice vid Marko.I'm curious how the Polyevolver is similar to the VS. I can add ring modulation and fm to each of the digital oscillators. I could for instance have 3 fm 4 and 4 fm 3 at the same time time creating some weird sounds.

[Intosia]

Love the arp :)

[KC8YOQ]

Where can i hear complete songs of this great sound?

[retrosound72]

@KC8YOQ

check my other vids with the VS

[Arthur60]

@KC8YOQ Sounds to me like some Genesis ones :) But I may be wrong.

[retrosound72]

@KC8YOQ

Fancy - Flames of Love ;D

France Gall - ella elle l'a

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again

Alphaville - Forever Young

and more

Genesis no.

[MUSICPHILDROP]

Great sound!!! 

[Andybaby]

Thanks for sharing. A nice visit to the 80's Interesting. Analog warmth, and yet ..digital crispness. Reminds me (a little) of the MKS-80.

Q1: I noticed you didn't really use the knob you touched (briefly) at 0:05 - 0:13 - is it not useful/experssive in live performance?

Q2: Did you any FX (a delay) on this?

[retrosound72]

@Andybaby

thank you :)

you can also use the vector envelope to mixing the four waves.

I use a little bit delay and reverb

[nc17atnce101]

Sequential! Great!

[audibleobsession]

Great stuff, as always! But, I swear you guys should rename the channel to "retropads"...you play long sustained notes on even the patches labelled "lead"...makes me laugh every time.

[retrosound72]

@audibleobsession

hahaha

man I love pads! ;D

[culturaleyes]

man those are some great vintage sounds

[retrosound72]

@culturaleyes

yes.

thx

[illuminatijews]

sounds like the bladerunner music.
