Q: do you collect synths for nostalgia?

[@retrosound72]

@@jspl2000 No. The synths were cheap.

[@stevehofer3482]

This is the best Quadra demo that I’ve ever seen.

[@retrosound72]

Thank you so much!

[@FatNorthernBigot]

Some great sounds, here... It did everything! The late 70's/early 80's were great times for analogue gear. (even if we didn't appreciate it at the time)

[@retrosound72]

Thank you so much!

[@wd25a]

People did appreciate it - you couldn't exactly get rich off the back of an instrumental synth album today, however artists did back then; and people sat to listen through whole albums. The thing is the polyphonic synths were megabucks so hardly anyone had them.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

@@wd25a That's a good point, but we dropped analogue gear like a hot brick after the release of digital synths. Us musicians are a fickle bunch.

[@wd25a]

@@FatNorthernBigot Touring musicians wanted reliability. Most couldn't afford any of it - not the good stuff like this or a CS80 anyway. Same deal for electric pianos - a real Rhodes sounds awesome but weighs a lot and costs a lot to maintain - a DX7 with it's funky digital Rhodes EP sound (the never sounded even remotely like a Rhodes) never went out of tune - also it sounded different/new and in it's own way cool. Now we can have it all.

[@Acrimonious_Snake]

Спасибо! Такая музыка одухотворяет и обращает к Звёздам, Космосу, Науке, Прогрессу. Она заставляет мечтать и становиться лучше. Призывает к добру и созиданию. Этого очень не хватает в современном мире. К сожалению, большая часть массовой культуры пытается нас заставить думать о том, кто из исполнителей долбится в задницу или сколько карат в бриллиантах певицы.

[@retrosound72]

Спасибо за приятного слова. 🙌

[@80evgeniy]

И в целом сам инструмент на то время олицетворял передний край прогресса. Тоже неравнодушен к ранней электронике.

[@Hour.Of.The.Night.]

В этой машине всё прекрасно, как внутренне, так и внешне..., а главное, превосходное звучание. 🦾🎹👍✨

[@retrosound72]

Спасибо большое мой друг и хорошего вечера 🙌🎹

[@thebod1]

Cherry Audio has a nice Arp Quadra plugin for those who can't afford the real thing. Great demo!

[@retrosound72]

thank you

[@RichardDenRooyen1973]

love that VST.... the retrosound demos let me decide to try that VST,.... only if it would be 25% of the sound of a real ARP Quadra.... its now one of my most loved VST's... maybe someday, i can buy a real Arp Quadra hehe... but untill then, i listen to these great demo's and play with the Cherry Studio VST

[@wd25a]

Yes I like the Cherry. Not like having that beautiful looking expensive hardware in front of you though - or the servicing bills!

[@jawoody9745]

This thang is pretty exceptional! I hope Alan is proud of it, too.

[@retrosound72]

Thank you

[@67philipo]

Quadra always reminds me of Tony Banks (Genesis)

[@retrosound72]

🎹🙌

[@vinzsaint]

...to me too

[@EricKeinrath]

Absolutely!❤

[@mainmajo]

Monstersound! Sweeps, Blubber, des volle Program ❤ 🎹 🖐️👍 Danke für das video. L G Majo

[@retrosound72]

Eine schöne Kiste. 🎹✨ Danke fürs reinhören.🙌

[@marcusf.6722]

It's fascinating how this particular synthesizer just changes the soundscapes that you want.

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for watching

[@EricKeinrath]

What a lovely organic sound, makes me chills❤. This demo sent me to the clouds, thank you!

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@DanielHuman1996]

It could be a soundtrack to a Carpenter movie :)

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for watching!

[@michaelmitchell8218]

It’s doing it again not sending me notifications on new videos. Anyway seen it now lol. Fantastic synth and never seen it before until I saw it on this channel. Great to see it again it just makes some wonderful sounds and sounds and looks so sci-fi. Back then when it came out you would of thought this thing come from the future. It’s strange sometimes when you look back of some synths. At the time you didn’t take much notice of them and now you do and think how far ahead it was for it’s time. This is a great machine and your lucky to own that beautiful synth. As always thanks for sharing and love what you do, too channel run by a top man.

[@retrosound72]

I think that many subscribers don't get a notification because KZbin decides arbitrarily. A big annoyance. But they know that I broadcast a video once a week, mostly on Thursdays. This is a huge spaceship with sounds far away from time and space. The combination of the different sections makes them magic. It doesn't sound very spectacular on its own. But everything together makes the sun rise. Thank you for your attention.

[@SeverityOne]

One was sold on Reverb, five years ago, for around €10,000. Pre-pandemic. So this is not on my list, by a long stretch. But my goodness, it looks and SOUNDS so absolutely gorgeous.

[@retrosound72]

A wonderful synth but a diva. Thank you for watching.

[@travisguide4516]

Beautiful tones

[@retrosound72]

thank you!

[@brucec.822]

I never get tired of the Quadra!!!!!

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for your time 🎹🙌

[@buckeygoldstar6210]

I guess the argument could be made that Any synthesizer is "Fun to Play", But this one, to me, just screams "Hey, for a good time....."

[@retrosound72]

Agreed 🎹🙌

[@christophercassel1001]

Ein außergewöhnlicher Synthesizer. Sowohl klanglich, als auch optisch. Quasi ein Best of ARP in einem Gerät. Die String Section ist der Hammer… Danke für die Demo😊

[@retrosound72]

Vorallem in Verbindung mit dem 12 Stage Phase Shifter geht die Sonne auf. Der Phaser ist der größte Pluspunkt am Quadra würde ich sagen. Ich benutze den hier in fast jedem Beispiel. Danke fürs Reinhören. 👍

[@monsterjazzlicks]

I had no idea how GREAT this synth sounded!

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for watching :)

[@marcuspatzer2392]

Wow! Great Sound / Video. Love it. 🙋‍♂️🎹

[@retrosound72]

Thank you so much

[@Cesarsound1]

Everyting sounds beautiful and organig in this machine 🙌🙌

[@retrosound72]

Thank you 🎹🙌

[@marcanglin7127]

Fabulous demo !!! Had me hooked from the beginning of the first sound.

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for your time

[@machfront]

At age 49 I should know better but I often have to remind myself that a synth released in a certain year was not ‘the sound’ of that year nor even the next. It takes time to adopt, use, compose, record, etc. Most synths are ‘the sound’ of a year(s) about two years AFTER their release. Heheh. I’d imagine most recordings with the Quadra (pop, rock, soundtracks, underground) were released from 1980 to 1982, with only a few outside of that. Same with most. I recall most of these vids when originally released. I’m glad you did this compilation though. Quite enjoyable! I’ve been watching for about a decade now. Thank you for all you do! Cheers! 🙂

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for your feedback. The Quadra is rare. John Carpenter, Tony Banks and Jo Zawinul used the synth. And New Order.

[@fantomandjupiterx864]

Cool wouldn’t mind one but it’s probably out off my price range 😄😄

[@retrosound72]

😁😉

[@caesargarcia1313]

Awesome!

[@retrosound72]

Thank you so much!

[@ingolf7411]

Excellent both ... your presentation and the instrument.

[@retrosound72]

Thank you so much for your time

[@Johngengelbach2]

Wow, love it

[@retrosound72]

thank you John.

[@mimoochodom2684]

Versatile beast. Lovely sounds.

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for watching 🎹🙌

[@MattyB3]

One of the best sounding keyboards of all time!!!! I certainly wish someone would create a realistic VST version of this Keyboard.

[@retrosound72]

Agree with you. Thank you for watching

[@vinzsaint]

cherry audio made one very popular...and neither so expencive

[@fantomandjupiterx864]

Just downloaded the VST version nice 👍 awesome sounds

[@retrosound72]

🎹🙌

[@amonster8mymother]

I've never heard a quadra before.

[@retrosound72]

A rare synth from the 70s.

[@Patrickillian]

Great sounds!

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for watching

[@DX5]

Excellent as always. New Order used to have one of those in the beginnings (also known as "Teeth synth" :-) ), after the Omni

[@retrosound72]

Thank you my friend! :)))

[@thefool2007]

Oh my yes! Awesome demo as usual. Love this synth. It’s incredible.

[@retrosound72]

Thank you for your time

[@Dolores5000]

Nice

[@retrosound72]

thank you

[@BlackMan614]

Last gasp (well... next-to-last) of a dying company. I'll never forget going into the music store and seeing one of these. They just looked awesome. What a beautiful industrial design. Unfortunately, it was just an Omni II and a dual osc Axxe. Talked to the owner and he said they just couldn't sell them when the P5 was available for roughly the same price. But man... did it look nice.

[@retrosound72]

yes the design is wonderful. Thank you for your comment

We’re you aiming to emulate Jean-michel Jarre, RS, or was that a happy accident? I dug the inclusion of the Alan Parsons instrumental “Sirius”.

[@retrosound72]

Thanks again. 🙌🎹

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

You’re welcome, RS.

[@lordvader2339]

Jeder Synthesizer-Hersteller sollte gesetzlich verpflichtet werden, exakt diesen Phaser in jedem zukünftigen Modell zu verbauen. 🙂

[@retrosound72]

Haha ja oder als Zusatzgerät herausbringen....😁😉

[@ArthurStone]

Sounds divine. Great arps and multi-timbrality? Thanks.

[@retrosound72]

Yes. Thank you for watching Arthur

[@MetatronsCube23]

What is the set up for the tone at 5:00 ?

[@retrosound72]

Phaser with Resonance
