'80s/Italo with Drumulator, Juno-60, Poly-61M

[@dada1003]

Born in 1963 the 80th had been my time. And in 1983 I had been to Italy and had my First contact with Italo Disco. Gazebo. Ryan Paris, Phaeax etc. I fell in love with that Kind of music and bought my first Synth 1985. It was the Poly 61. Great Video!

[@Ashfaq1999]

Me too. I was my first synthersiser. Miss it 😢

[@sergiofonsecanovaes5905]

Vi varias vezes tive os dois gostava mais do poly 61 Sempre venho matar a saudade deles aqui!

[@giambattistapisanu4656]

Bellissimi I suoni degli anni 80...in quegli anni l Italia in fatto di musica comandava il mondo..

[@BlueCollarBros]

[@gabrielnadler9864]

Paolo, you are the master of making italo samples, it is a masterpiece.

[@bernoinferno4389]

That Poly-61 lead line - Awesome! Reminded me of the great 'Koto'!

[@andrewj.682]

Im starting to believe you can time travel and you took these synths right off the shelves. Look how clean they are!

Aaw man, I SO LOVE IT when you do your Italo Disco! ! That's how I first started listening to your channel. There's nobody on the Web that does this types of videos. That's why I say that you're the King of synthesizers, cuz there's nobody like you! Gracie amico mio!

[@daviddahren453]

So great , wonderfull!!!!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Many thanks!!

[@setphaser]

love the poly 61 such great bass

[@johnsmith-vc8dw]

This is like the sound track of every teen movie from the 1980's lol. Thank God synthesizers were so expensive back in the day or I would of never have learned how to play the guitar.

[@supsound]

That is the best comment of the day!

[@MacetazzOpina]

Theyre even more expensive now

[@andrewj.682]

There are too many guitarists here

[@randomexcessmemories4452]

I just keep coming back to this one! Genuinely a true 80s banger! You have got the touch! Song starts at: 1:46

[@michaelherling1444]

So beautyful and so simple...Very nice!

[@peddlerofbombast6982]

Jammin. Could u imagine Paolos neighbors...hes cutting dope tracks on a Tuesday while they eat there brunch, haha. As he solos and pitch bends a high note they are takin out the garbage.

[@chenguefer156]

Beautiful!.

[@theVHSvlog]

The Juno series are such simple synthesizers but I'll never get over their sound. Great track Paolo!

[@robertcozart]

I love this music. Very inspirational and so cool. Thanks for sharing so much

[@gofmarshal]

I love italo in your performance, thank you, thank you, thank you! SPASIBO!!!Спасибо!!!!

[@paolor.479]

Back to the 80's... Thanks Paolo☺ Ciao

[@andinbriwel1092]

Love it!! Man, that poly lead over the Juno strings... luscious!!

[@kvfive]

Awesome ! I'd totally forgotten about this style of music until you started recreating the sounds a few weeks back, I'm now hooked :-) I find myself playing along with you now :-)

[@MrEbenezer13]

kvfive I know EXACTLY how you feel! Everything he does is SO nostalgic! !

[@CockatooDude]

Check out a genre called "synthwave".

[@MegaBadgeman]

Hooked! Geddit?

[@vickydabydoyal6890]

Awesome music, I980s chord passion, playing it loud for this 2nd January 2021, Happy New Year

[@manuelink64]

classy and catchy AF!! Paolo , you are my hero!! PD: I f*cking love the "lead" sound/melody on the Korg !!

[@twochickstwochicks1862]

Drinking coffee and listening to your italo! Cheers from Russia Paolo!

[@antonvfilatov]

It's a very good sound! I love it! Nostalgia!

[@MaverickM1]

Long live the space synth. (Koto and Laserdance are my all time favorites and this tune is like a van der Kuy track

[@dfgg21]

This is so cool, it reminds me of Lee Marrow Shanghai. Long Live 80's Synth

[@KOSMIKKANKAN]

i love so much this sound...good job.

[@Turtafilm]

Thank You Nice Sharing !

[@sokolkovaci9026]

[@FatMan5200]

Обожаю Итало-диско!! :)

[@moogdome2562]

Brilliant.Love how you put the drums on and everything came alive. very well done. Bring back the 80's.

[@landebadalge2641]

Oh boy. I had the Korg Poly 61M in the mid 80s. It was so expensive for me in my young days & I saved every coin to get one. Played it every day to all the synthesiser music back in the day. Regret today that I sold it in the mid 90s. 😢

[@turquoisecapricorn]

Very nice emotional retro music! Great vintage gear!

[@marceloacosta1742]

Adoro la euro disco de los 80s acá en latinoamerica fue un género muy popular😎

[@BboySalamon]

Italo, Italo! Thank you SO much Paolo!

[@StefanoPapaleo-TS]

This is beyond awesome. Perfect Italo disco. Nicely done, Paolo... again ;)

[@ДенисЦветков-б2л]

Paolo, hello from Russia! Bravo! Italodisco forever!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Scrumper66]

Ha..... Nostalgia of 80'!!!! Good instant of dream.... Thanks for this démo!!! ;)

[@marekpera7884]

Piękny utwór.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

thanks

[@Gracebeliever077]

Ahhh the sound of my youth! Thanks.

[@SoundChilde]

Really amazing and informative videos, Paolo! Thank you for all the work you put into these tutorials. You should totally consider releasing an album of your music, you'd be HUGE in today's New Wave Retro scene!

[@djbonk77]

New Wave is more of a rock style, not so much Disco octave bass heavy chords 4/4 beat

[@quasarulas3968]

Carl T he means new retro wave, synthwave genre modern take on 1980s synth pop sounds

[@BAFABOY]

Paolo you're a genius !!! You're the best !!!

[@mimoochodom2684]

My afro's grown back!

[@Joey_Tai]

😂😂😂😂

[@pronzac]

chi ha vissuto quegli anni in Italia più di tutti rimarrà spiazzato, risentendo quelle dolci armonie ritmate da sequenze ipnotiche; tastiere, drum machine e sequencer che hanno segnato un tempo. Un tributo davvero ispirato

[@SolarWebsite]

Amazing... so good to see the good stuff is still made today!

[@ErikGPL]

This one keeps sticking in my head, very catchy tune! Great.

[@teebodk3917]

Such a wonderful musical era, the songs of the 80s were just so melodic and catchy - Italo, mainstream 80s pop, Euro-Dance etc. For me, the good times ended when rapping became popular, you know the flood of releases with "artist a feat. artist b" and titles like "poormp up the jaaahm!" - it seemed like all of a sudden everybody just HAD to have a rapper featuring and the nice melodies got ditched for "cool basslines" to rap over.

[@Pm-qp6tb]

Excellent!!!

[@electronicbob6237]

I like your sound....!!!

[@simonpsychosis2812]

Like being stuck in a Moroder-based 80's time loop. That's a good thing, btw. Awesome (as always).

[@MaxiBodyalive]

Saresti stato un buon produttore italo disco al tempo, complimenti!

[@АндрейЩеглов-в5ы]

Super, просто супер!!!!!

[@Video101TV]

I love the groove you have for the main synth line @2:45. It would have been at home in any 80's pop hit! Managed to pick up a Korg Poly 61 just the other day, waiting for it to get some service work done before joining my Juno 60 and OB6.

[@synthartist69]

OK, I need a Drumulator

[@thesynthzone7448]

You can also buy a Roland TR-08s, there are all sounds from 606, 707, 727, 808, 909. It sounds good and you can make Musik straight from the 80's with it. It's not so expensive like the Drumulator

[@tomdial2941]

Several years ago, I was tempted to buy a Drumulator from Rogue Music, a great local shop here in NYC. However, I concluded that it's probably a better buy to find an old Akai MPC. Personally, I have owned the Akai MPC 1000 as well as an MPC 2500 (which I now own.) There are a huge number of samples readily available from the classic machines, and they are probably indistinguishable from the real thing. Akai's Vintage Beat Machines sample set includes many samples from machines of the 1980s and even more. Since the later MPCs like the 1000 and the 2500 can use WAV files, the options for sounds are virtually unlimited. The old machines are really cool, no doubt. I have one or two drum machines for nostalgic reasons, but I'm going to the Akai MPC every time to do "real work."

[@andrewj.682]

Max 15Musix 808: sorry what?

[@kiko1935]

I will never understand why people want old drum machines when all the wavs are online and there's many more convenient ways to sequence them. I guess if you're a collector it makes sense.

[@clemarmageddon2366]

@@kiko1935, the soul, the essence of the machine the purity of the sound that comes straight from the 80s ... you have to have the machines in your hands to understand ,its magic there is no cold side of digital emulation and knowing that the machine was used in the creations initially gives a special charm...

[@SgtZaqq]

I love your leads. Beautiful piece of music overall.

[@silverseraph8233]

Just great !!!!

[@MJamesIII]

I owned both of those synths in the early and mid 80s. The Poly was stolen and I sold the Juno in the 90s for under a $100. I wish I had them both back 🎶🎶🎶

[@MrVinylistic]

The chords of the Poly 61M are really awsome. Very cool track too! Remembers me on that time when I was young and listened to tracks of Koto etc. hehehe ;)

[@RED_indiemusic]

Dancing and mentally singing at the same time! Great piece!

[@ojarskrumins8476]

Thank's for this video! The great one 😃. Actually what I miss in today's music, is saturation of sounds we had in '80 and early '90. Maybe I'm wrong but what we have now in modern music (besides of stupid autotune) is something simple, flat with just few notes, couple of instruments looped and that's it. No wonder that youth who "understand the stuff" start to dig parent's music archives and say that then we got better stuff than today.

[@koalemos1679]

great job, I enjoy your daily jams sir

[@electricturbodata9368]

I love this song so much man! You've got the best synth channel in the universe! The web is really a blessing in the way that we all can live in a parallel 80s universe. 80s synths, 80s home computers, 80s movies etc. :)

[@ShanMichaelEscasio]

Awesome! I love italo music!

[@d1e9opomombo]

Great job indeed man. Im from italy and grew up with this style of music.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thanks! So am I and did I...

[@prashunguha]

Just Great!!!

[@sergeipelissier5690]

This Drumulator sounds like Fun-Fun "color my love"

[@d1e9opomombo]

It sounds very pleasant to my ears. 😍

[@this_connor_guy]

The Poly-61!! Always wanted one of those. Gritty, lo-fi analog. But I have my Mirage, so I can kind of get that sound, haha.

[@SPAZZOID100]

?????

[@jb_80s_music39]

Hi Paolo 🙂. You have such a great talent in making music with those fantastic synthesizer sounds and that powerful drum machine 🎵🤘. Your italo disco track sounds absolutely epic and you bring back the wonderful 80s sound to our ears 😎. Keep on rockin man 🤗.

[@letzrock1472]

This is synth playing at its finest IMO...great tunes here.

[@Eyepatchfilms]

That is probably the most mint Poly 61M in existence.

[@chieftp]

it's probably the only poly 61 which is still functional

[@ArbeiterInnenlieder]

Mine still works, too. But I ain't got the MIDI version.

[@noah_musio]

All his synths are just looking like out of the factory

[@evetsnitram8866]

Had one for about 15 minutes back in the 80s.

[@adriaanlaurijsen]

@@evetsnitram8866 Me too and the poly 800 !

[@centralillinoisjazz5597]

This is wonderful, reminds me so much of Bobby Orlando’s High-NRG productions.

[@fedestrat2caster]

Excellent! Take off my hat. The Korg's sounds are just amazing.

[@oblitafier]

Old enough to remember when this stuff was released. Never seen the M variant of the Poly-61 before.

Awesome time travel! Back to the future, again! :-P
