Nice demo - the polymoog keyboard and the phase 100 are the essential synth sounds for the 79-80 period. I would say, however, that you'd be doing yourself a massive favor by getting yourself a vintage phase 100 in preference to the reissue. they come up quite often on eBay. thanks for posting the vid of your polymoof though. Wish I had one!!

@RJADVids Thank you for the comment and the info! I have been looking for a vintage MXR phase 100 for quite some time now. I may just have to pick me one up soon.

Thanks again and take care,

Jareth

Hey Jarreth that's spot on with the extra effect you added & YES I've been trying to work that second part out for ages, the part where you used the B, Csh & other notes so thanks. Cheers from Rich

@giantrobot9000 Thank you!

The MXR phase 100 is a little better for the polymoog, but the phase 90 is great to. Well, polymoogs are not cheap and thay are known for having lots of problems. A decent polymoog will run about $800.00 to $2,000.00. I got mine for $300.00 and had to rebuild it from the ground up to get it working again. It took me about 3 months, but it was worth it.

That is fantastic! I LOVE that tone. I'm a guitarist, and we do a cover of Cars and I've been using my Phase 90 on it, and had no idea that's what was really on the synth! I need a Polymoog, though!!!! How expensive are they? I love vintage analog synths.

Hey you're a mind reader as I've been trying to fatham the ending out for years as I can play the rest of cars including the first bit your playing. Those two parts must have been done by Gary N in multi recording so they sound like they're playing similtainiously. I can play Are Friends Electric, The piano part for Photograph, Airlane, Down In the Park & a few others. Cheers again you're a WIZ KID. I'll studdy that other part I've been trying to get to grips with. THANKS from Rich
