Marc-your videos are a fantastic gateway to help the uninitiated grok the world of analog synths. While I've always had an arms-length interest in analog (well, several arms I suppose), I never bought any gear. I recently got the IMS-20 app and quickly grew obsessed. Considering buying a piece I quickly learned that 1) it's rare, 2) it's expensive, and 3) I'd probably get fleeced.
My question is what would you recommend (especially if one wants to tinker with the modular stuff)? Thanks
@44eelz It was originally a song I wrote for the band Furniture called "12 Watt Bulb." It became recycled into an Automatic Gainsay song called "Mine," and was recently recycled again as a theme to the YouTube Minimoog video. The main synth in it is the Moog Sonic Six.
analog synths sound like crap pass the word- (then maybe the ebay prices will settle down)- remember kids digital is the way to go- dont bid on analog synths- moogs and arps are terrible buy a dx7 or roland d50- analogs are not cool dont look stylish and theyre made poorly- pass the word- remember buy digital!!!!!!!!
@AutomaticGainsay You are one funny bloke Gainsay! I think what he MEANT to say is "Sounds THE shiat!" Why can't we be next door Neighbours! We'd never sleep! Tell me if you ever come to England & I'll show you around London upon a Parched Predicament!!!
P.S. 8th of September - Fever Ray LIVE! You know you want in!! He he!
Thank you very much! You can go to my myspace page which is on my YouTube profile. If there is a song you particularly like, here or on MySpace, e-mail me at analogcompendium (at) gmail (dot) com, and I'll send it to you.
Where did you find your modular synth? I always like hearing the stories of how analog synths were found, acquired, taken home and got going again. Cheers
That's a good idea! I am pretty much down to my favorites presently, although I do buy other occasionally for demonstration. I have two favorites, and they're not very unique... the Moog Minimoog and the ARP 2600. The 2600 isn't even in this video! New videos coming... : )
yeh cant' figure what that one with the hawaii effect is, maybe one of those other silly ones like the moog sattelite? the one immediately after i'm sure is a yamaha cs something. Analogue i have jupiter-4, jx-3p and a non working axxe. had a cs-01 as wel;
By the way, sir! I am new to the world of keyboards, what would you recommend to a beginner as far as informative periodicals go and a good starter keyboard? I have heard good things about the microKORG and it is reasonably priced as well.
Very cool! 5 X 5! Wow! The drum samples sound great, 'cause it sounds just like someone's there in the room with you. . . kicking a box with some wire hangers on it. . . JK. . .
I just want to be clear that while there are samples involved, they are not individual drum samples. That is live playing sampled in sections and arranged.
You know, so I had better control over when the box was kicked in relation to when the baking sheet was tapped on.
Baking sheet? I had you pegged as a wire hanger man. . . I was actually looking for something to jam to on my guitar and I thought this was going to be a Gary Numan type sound; ie, something a bit darker. I was just hackin' on ya' anyway, 'cause I F-ing wailed over it! I just gave it another listen and the middle section is very cool.
I want a Yahama CS-80 so bad. Even if I had the money to buy one, the shipping alone would be enormous. Those things are massive. Who is playing this by the way?
Yes, I personally have felt that it is better to have a CS-50 and sacrifice a layer of oscillator than it is to deal with the behemoth! The music is a song called "12 watt bulb," which later became a song called "Mine." And, that's me.
Nice Roland SH-1000 and SH-2000! I have two synths and one workstation. A moog little phatty stage, a Roland SH-201, and a Korg i4S workstation. I wish I had a minimoog model D and a Polymoog synthesizer, or keyboard model. Love This Video!!!
I don't know my analog synths very well. I recognized one as the Minimoog, but I bet I'm wrong. Check out the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange, best analog work I've ever heard.
hi,im used to reason programme however want to start on analog synths now,on ebay there is a synth ROLAND JP 8080,could u tell me if its worth buying and if not what would i be looking for maybe techno electro...cheers mate
Thanks for stopping by! The JP-8080 is an analog modeling synth, and as such, I don't know anything about it. I'm also not that great at matching analog to modern genres! Sorry!
no i wouldnt recommend it. if your gonna blow the bucks id get a analog. or if your really interested in something analog but new might checkout creamware, but if your new to the deal maybe a micro x. dont waste your money on a jp though unless its a jupiter.
I wouldn't reccomend a micro X either because it's not analog.
There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a synth. Poly or Monophonic is the biggest. Usually you want to get a mono single Osc for bass sounds and a polyphonic for pads and leads. For mono I would recommend the DSI Mopho(newly made synth). It's a brand new synth and it's terrific for bass sounds. For poly I would recommend one of the Roland Juno series. They are vintage, but pretty much one of the standard poly-synths.
Nearly every analog synth I've ever purchased has been from eBay. It can be a risky venture purchasing them there, though. If you find one on eBay you're interested in, let me know, and I'd be glad to tell you if I think it is worth pursuing.
did u make this song? if so, please send a message 2 me. I'd like to know whck synths were used and if it's not too much trouble: what synth was used for What part? Thanx.
oh, And plus, if you release this song, you'll get, a record deal for sure, a HUGE crowd at your concerts, and a number 1 fan: me
Im a huge synthesizer fanatic, bu seeing as tho i dont have a job yet, i only hav a Motif es7 and a korg ms2000. good enough for the job right? anyway, this song would definately kill all other contestants in Battle of the bands.
Thank you very much! It's a song that has seen many versions, and had several names. Currently, and finally, it would be called the instrumental version of a song called "Mine," which will be featured on the upcoming Automatic Gainsay release "Recondite." Thanks again!
minimoog, korg PS3100 (or maybe PS3200), Roland SH1000 (2000?), yamaha CS80 (60?), Rolands SH-3a (had one 20 years ago, still wish I hadn't sold it) ... and some strange early additive syntheshis-thingie I havent got a clue too naming - but I WANT ONE!
Hey! You got nearly all of them! Close enough! It's a PS-3100, an SH-1000, and a CS-50! One of the unnamed is on another video of mine, and the "additive synthesis thingy" has yet to be guessed... They're more common in Europe, but still pretty uncommon... they usually look different than this one... this one is a kit version!
after replying I found out I could see more answers, and read that it was a Wersi. Funny thing is one of my friends/synthjamming mates actually bought a semi-defunkt Wersi recently, but I haven't seen it yet. I had however seen a picture on the web, and it was different, with less cool knobs and switches. Maybe switches & knobs wasn't part of the kit version, so the guy who build yours used some from an organ?
Aw, hell, I forgot that I had talked about that. : ) Yep, it's the kit version of the Wersi Bass Synth. The kit used cool rockers instead of the ugly stuff used in the consumer model! Mine needs extensive service, but it kind of works!
You got several of them! No ARP 2600, or Moog modular, though! It's actually a CS-50, I'm not brave enough to have a CS-80. ; ) There are two mystery synths in there... check my other videos and you'll find out what one of them is... : )
The Sonic Six has two oscillators! It has a lot of modulation options which makes it a bit wily if you're new to analog, or even if you're not, in some ways! Also, it requires tuning more often than some analog synths! I should be posting my video on the one I had pretty soon!
I loved my Jx-3p. I actually have had two of them... I always regret selling them. It's the best polyphonic analog synth for the least amount of money! Plus, it's cool that the DCOs are really VCOs with digital tuning!
I'm stumped by the one with the white "blender-like" swtiches for what look to be additional footages, sine waves, and a bizzare looking Hawaiian Effect button. What is it? I'm really very curious. Thanks!
The organ company Wersi made a brief stint in synthesizer design. One of their offerings was the Wersi Bass Synthesizer. This one looks different, and was said to be a prototype. What it actually is is a kit for the consumer to build. Mine was very obviously built by an amateur as its functionality could best be described as "sporadic." Thanks for your interest!
Sounds like bad music from a 70's cop show .

I'm not sure what a "ninja tune" is, but I hope it's good! Thanks. : )
As far as this being porn... we're safe, at least momentarily, from YouTube putting a warning before it.

i worked with a sonic six a while back....found it kind of hard to control...i think it had one oscillator, n'est pas?
feralmusic 5 years ago
The Sonic Six has two oscillators! It has a lot of modulation options which makes it a bit wily if you're new to analog, or even if you're not, in some ways! Also, it requires tuning more often than some analog synths! I should be posting my video on the one I had pretty soon!

Thank you!
Actually, yes... if you're well versed in analog synths and want to relocate to Washington state. : )

hey that was great - do you need another synth player???? LOL

I loved my Jx-3p. I actually have had two of them... I always regret selling them. It's the best polyphonic analog synth for the least amount of money! Plus, it's cool that the DCOs are really VCOs with digital tuning!

I'm stumped by the one with the white "blender-like" swtiches for what look to be additional footages, sine waves, and a bizzare looking Hawaiian Effect button. What is it? I'm really very curious. Thanks!

The organ company Wersi made a brief stint in synthesizer design. One of their offerings was the Wersi Bass Synthesizer. This one looks different, and was said to be a prototype. What it actually is is a kit for the consumer to build. Mine was very obviously built by an amateur as its functionality could best be described as "sporadic." Thanks for your interest!
