Ensoniq SQ-80 + SCI Pro-One + TR-808

[ScientistOfSound1]

EBM! :D

[colorform2113]

@ davedagreat69 the rolands and oberheims that you mentioned are analog oscillators that are digitally controlled to keep them in tune better. The esq1 and sq80 are sampled from analog oscillators through real analog filters. So all are hybrids, but still very different

[module8]

Damn he blew the roof off that place :) Great song man. I used to have an SQ-80 and my friend was change a filter and it froze up and I could never fix it. I ended up throwing it away.... what a horrible day lol.

I also have an SCI pro-one and I'm happy to say it still works great! I also have the kenton midi to cv convertor. I must say that bassline you got going sounds awesome!

[TVisHELL]

gorgeous.... !

[kiofnc]

Therea are some things Digital just can't replicate... Analog Forever!

Kiofnc aka Kinetic

[adam872]

@kiofnc But the SQ80 is digital. I love my ESQ1, which the SQ80 is based on.

[davedagreat69]

@adam872 Well actually it's a hybrid. Digital oscillators but analogue VCFs and VCAs. That's why it sounds so nice. The Roland Junos and JXs are also digital oscillators with VCFs and VCAs and yet these are considered analogue. There are many others too (Korg DW8000, Oberheim Matrix 6, etc) The difference is that Ensoniqs keyboards also feature samples I have to say that the digital oscillators on the Ensoniqs don't sound as nice as the Roland ones, but I still love my Ensoniqs. ;)

[adam872]

@davedagreat69 Quite right about the hybrid part, but the sound source is digital. I'm a little non-plussed by people who say they don't like digital when in fact there are an awful lot of great sounding digital synths out there, even vintage ones.

I always lusted after a JX-10 but they were too expensive ;-)

[nickybendix]

Bummer about the rain at the end, Marko! Did you get wet? :D:D Rubbish:) Geat Demo.....!!!

[esdee303]

sehr schön!! Der Track ist auch sehr schön!

[retrosound72]

@esdee303

dankeschön

[paulallen34]

nice playing love it,first took an interest in synths in the early 1970's.

[retrosound72]

@paulallen34

thanks :)

[3dgflames]

I was listening to the song "how we do" by the game and 50cent and the mentioned 808 drums I still don't get.. Plz tell what it is I don't see anydrums .

[syncro16se]

We had the TR808 and also the Prophet One mostly for bass lines and solosynth of course.

This is proof that the original Roland TR808 is way better than the clones and copied sounds that nowadays is in virtually every synth/drummachine

We wished we never sold the 808 ..

Bought a 707 after that, they would have complemented each other, can't replace one another.

[Kopoane]

Such a rich sound on that synth.

[retrosound72]

thank you

[VincentsVideoVisions]

YOU GOT YOUR SYNTHS WET :)

[onettproduction]

MEGA GEIL!!!!!!!!

[retrosound72]

dankeschön :)

[minstertruth]

As a SQ-80 owner, this demo makes me want to pick up an SCI Pro-One and a TR-808 to round things out. Great job; nice rain effect at the end :)

[retrosound72]

:)

thanks a lot

[nickgash]

This is, quite simply, one of the best synth demos ever.

[retrosound72]

thank you :)

[Roboto2500]

This has such a bladerunner feel in my opinion. I don't know how, but it does to me.

[StudioF]

great song 5 love those analog vintage gear

[retrosound72]

thank you

[m4rKo7]

I really like this!!!!5 stars!!!!!

[retrosound72]

thanks :)

[r4x2]

This is very beautiful. I may go after this setup eventually.

[retrosound72]

thank you :)

[Synthersizer]

Omg.. that snare is super on the tr 808.. what a machine! i like to drop out the hihats to just leave the kick, snare, arp running..

Love your gear my friend!

[retrosound72]

thanks :)

[jukidribbling]

excelent man!! incredible sound!

[retrosound72]

thank you

[dczthoma]

big ups;)

[neofuturist23]

wwaaw.. very nice playing .. good sounds too ... darn good .. but i would keep those nice synths away from the rain !! :-D

[retrosound72]

thank you :)

[Indensity]

wow this dude really has some old ass keyboards I love this Im subscribing!!

[ajdicks]

true but depends on the individual. does he want to learn melodies, harmonies, and chords like old-school musicians or just repetitive drum and bass like a million other guys do now? a third option is apple's garageband...very simple yet expandable. i'm an analog gearhead but the temptation to go all software is understandable as well.

[synthdood]

very nice! The Ensoniq sounds great. I gotta get one of those.

[ghostalks]

So amazing!. It's my dream to create music like this, I just have absolutely no idea where to start. :(

[ajdicks]

look for a cheap used yamaha DJX...mostly crap but you can record 5 layers of sounds or experiment with reverb, delay, echo, attack, decay. there are also some preprogrammed drum and bass accompanyments you can change keys with your left hand and play a solo or fake strings with your right

[ghostalks]

Thanks! Yeah I'm thinking about buying a microkorg. I know some pretty prominent artists use it and it sounds like a good cheap place to start.

[djsmithy]

Ah i just realised the Pro-One has a built in sequencer. Very nice! I thought the tr-808 was triggering a note rhythm at first!

[djsmithy]

This is fantastic! You should release this track ;)

[retrosound72]

thank you :)

[GCom67]

This demo is really fantastic!

Great tune too, reminds me of early DM :)

Best wishes...G

[retrosound72]

thank you graeme :)

[vonTreffenfeld]

der beweis: analog und digital fit together very well!

[retrosound72]

auf jeden fall!

nur analog wird auf dauer ja auch langweilig

[noGF4life]

I really like your video's and music. Really inspiring!!

[retrosound72]

thank you :)

[massia68]

[mik300z]

Oh yeah Marco!!! Excellent track, the SQ80 sounds great and fits in perfectly. Superb bassline

[retrosound72]

Thank you Mick :)

The SQ-80 is really nice. Very underrated.

[evilfreethinker]

I just shot in my pants! Fucking awesome gear! no sampling can replace this equipment!

[thebrinksf]

ahhh, the Pro-one sounds so warm. I love those sounds.

[rincewind801]

Love this.

[peggymount]

Fab!

[retrosound72]

[cyphersum]

One of your best yet!

Sounds like a 1982 synth-pop instrumental interlude!

[retrosound72]

thank you :)

[DlimitR]

You are my favorite channel -- always something new! Keep it up! -- By the way, you should do some TB-303 action soon -- that is my all-time favorite synth ^__^

[retrosound72]

thx a lot :)

[Cheyn77]

sehr schön! Klingt richtig gut!

Und natürlich mit meinem Lieblingsinstrument...

Der 808.

Gruß Johnny

[retrosound72]

danke :)

[schmittwilli]

Einfach genial der Sound, erinnert mich an meine 80er Produktionen.

[retrosound72]

Ja, das sollte es auch... :)

danke

[1SpaceAge1]

[retrosound72]

thanks :)

[mikeycomputer]

Wow. I always like your demos.

[retrosound72]

thx a lot :)

[TurninTablez]

mann ich wünschte ich hätt solche synthies für meine house productionen

gute musik!! erinnert mich an die musik von den 80er

obwohl ich in der zeit noch nicht gelebt habe

[retrosound72]

danke

die 80er waren für mich musikmäßig, die besten Jahre überhaupt

deshalb klingen meine demos immer ein bisschen trashig, so wie die 80er nun mal waren :)

[messomorf]

I wish I had been raised on tunes like this, so I wouldn't have become the boring guitar player that I am now.

You rock!!!

[retrosound72]

thx :)

[Helderhugo]

I have been raised on tunes like this! And I tell you It was great even now! But guitars is not so boring after all, their diferent sound.

[retrosound72]

I like also guitars! :)

[BMS1974]

And the range of fx units now makes sound forming extremely interesing ;-)

even the Spanish guitar can be 'strangeified', check out an artist called Dominic Frasca ;-)

Another killa track retro ;-)

[retrosound72]

absolute!

thanks :)

[flannelking]

feel like i just saw a dario argento film end

[ODMG316]

I MIss my SQ80:( My desktop DSI Evolver is cool and all but those klanky keys and poly after touch OMG

[lemonlimestiv]

[retrosound72]

[ChemicalComedown]

That's really good . . .

Excellent stuff, loved the haunting sounds.
