All that you need to know (!) about 80s Synths

[@0ne01]

A lot​ of other synth players arguing here over presets and whatever. Who cares. Use what you like. Use what instrument you like. Doesn't matter if its hardware or VSTi. Doesn't matter if it's FM or analog. It literally doesn't matter what you use as long as you like it and it works for you. It's your music. Do what you want.

Lamster66 Well, I may have been a little too liberal with the term "finished"! 15 finished, and 15 in near-finished limbo, may be more accurate. My point is, I've created WAY more sounds than I probably have years left to play! But by god when I do write I have a backlog of sounds to choose from! (So why do I find myself creating new sounds when writing, other than just selecting and moving on?) The problem is these killer (and mostly affordable) softsynths with their ability to create virtually any sound you can imagine, and many you can't! But would we have it any other way?! Nah!

The 80's were a magical time if you were the right age... For adults it was all about the never ending quest for the almighty $$$, for the pre-teens it was Saturday Morning Cartoons and the drag of school. But for us lucky ones, who were in our teens/early 20's, the 80's was heaven. The best music, the best movies, the best drugs, the hottest gals with their tight leather pants, too much makeup and perfume, and the hair that reached to the sky. It was quite a time to be alive :-)

[@giuseppelentini9140]

I know this video is old, but it's actually refreshing: the people interviewed are all professional musicians, and they are adamantine in highlighting the cons of vintage analog instruments, especially the voltage controlled ones. Nowadays, commercial resellers in all disguises seldom even mention those inconvieniences, but the limits are still there, plus the unreliability that comes with age. Also, it's heartwarming to see all the enthusiasm about midi, computers, and digital synths: it was the dawn of the modern recording studio, without whom you would have to be Stevie Wonder to have access to synths and record electronic music. And, when people nowadays talk about dawless, they still talk 90% of the time about a computer with a digital software system, that interacts via midi. Some things do not change, only the attitude.

Herbie Hancock's point about professional programmers should not be overlooked. Some guys like Vince Clarke and Thomas Dolby were techies themselves, but many other musicians weren't. One name you'll see on a lot of albums from the UK is Andy Richards, who played or programmed on songs that were at #1 in the UK for 19 weeks in 1984 e.g. he created the keyboard parts on FGTH's "Relax" and should have got a songwriter credit.

I loved watching this program as a kid, growing up with ideas of owning a synth one day, and a guitar too. Clear simple information for fans of earlier synths, with a nod towards the use of a sequencer thrown in. Later synths were linked via MIDI, so you could buy a 'MIDI synth brain box' (a keyboardless synth) and just use the synth keyboard from a different unit fitted with MIDI capability. MIDI is probably old tech by today's standards, but it was a great leap forward at the time. My oldest (analogue) synth is the KORG Delta, and I also own a Roland RD-500 piano, and a MIDI connected Proteus FX unit. These are enough for me, but the temptation is, always there to buy a modern synth!
