[@CW2SCOGG]

I swear this guy has every synthesizer known to man.....he should get an award, cause he can actually play them too!

[@drHultaj]

2 tygodnie temu byłem w Zwoleniu, pomyślałem o Was czuby. Zdrowia, cokolwiek robicie.

[@adacho86]

It's a track from Zmiennicy, polish TV series (late 80's, by Przemysław Gintrowski)

[@tonypatino3156]

Always felt the sx-240 sounded like a cross between an organ synth and a string synth. Love it.

[@albedoshader]

@ConnorMcLeanMusic: Retrosound72 is like a cosmetic surgeon. Jexus is a neuroscientist for synthesizers. He turns synthesizers inside out, elicits their true potential and pushes their envelope, literally. If Jexus can't make a synth sound interesting then this machine isn't worth a penny.

[@PrismaticSpray]

I have a broken SX-240 that I've been trying to fix for quite some time. At least the new wood sides I made for it work! lol But seriously, this video was the kick in the ass that made me finally take it in to a pro for repairs. Fingers crossed!

[@kgbinfo]

I miss you, Jexus.

[@futumama1]

Nice stuff this Kawai....i love old analog.

[@unknownunknown-zs8pq]

Stary słuchałem Ciebie w 2007 gdy studiowałem eelektroakustykę

[@andrzejmajor]

Zmiennicy i wracają wspomnienia!

[@RodBeauvex]

On of my favorites. Still love 1:31-2:14. Beautiful instrument.

[@johnnyswitchblade]

Oooooh! GREAT sounds! Everything I love about 80s synthesizers. Great playing.

[@2213klon]

Man, I LOVE YOU! Greetings from Ukraine.

[@mgrokrutny]

REWELACJA !!! "zmiennicy" brzmią identycznie jak w oryginale. Jak możesz to wrzuć coś jeszcze z tego serialu, normalnie bomba !!! Ocena jedynie słuszna *5

[@Gaclaw]

Chodzi mi po głowie cały dzień ten moty z "Zmienników" ;] Przychylam się do prośby przedpiszącego o czołówkę :)

[@salvadory1103]

like those haunting early 80s scifi film soundtracks- tangerine dreams wavelength comes to mind- brings chills to my memory banks!

[@lesliewhite7027]

This is incredible

[@patrickgideon8584]

Best synth demo ever.

[@RoboBoddicker]

Like 5 years ago there were half a dozen of these on ebay going for dirt cheap. I put off buying one, and now I haven't seen a single one up in the past 2 years, and the last few I did see on there were in the Juno-60 price range. *Sigh* missed opportunities...

[@himmelhero]

if you dont buy it let me know I'll take it off his hands :)

[@bmrrogers]

That is a great price.

[@SPAZZOID100]

Donal Finn did you watch the video???

[@SPAZZOID100]

Donal Finn did u watch this video??

[@BoingBoomTCHACK]

This guy gives the best demos

[@fabiuh991]

nice demo n.n what is the track name at 1:31-2:14? thank you.

[@jaarex]

zajebiscie!!! piosenka ze zmieników wyszła prawie jak orginalna!!! super!!!

[@XDanimalzX]

Sounds like a John maus cover at 0:30 Synth sounds unique!

[@tomkingsays]

jexus ive seen you around on lots of synth websites, your stuff is super cool

[@Arthur60]

Love the synth sound at 5:35 ;-)

[@STINKOPOOP]

Me and my buddy crack up at ur vids man. So fookin rad. keep on postin :D...

[@fatherpeepee]

4.00 min is so sick im going to try to program that on my 240 sx thanks for the good bro.

[@PC0067]

Very cool sound

[@transitaautomatic]

@goldenroland i have read that you can send a omni off message to the sx240 from a sequencer and then it will only receive on channel one. i own a sx240 and i have never bothered with it. its just not needed for my workflow but i can see how it would be good to be able to do that. sx240 is a great synth. i mean one of my favorites.

[@despecialised]

5:49 sold me on this synth

[@Eyepatchfilms]

Been fixing up one of these. Cleaned up the remaining battery acid, fixed all the switches, cleaned the whole thing thoroughly. What a beast of a synth. I have a ton of others, but this one is instantly that good 80's sound. Way better than a K3. Better than all the roland dcos. Build two patches and layer them with alternate LFO rates. Layer an ensemble-on patch with another with it off and get an amazing 3D stereo patch. Fantastic machine.

[@SPAZZOID100]

Layering 2 patches leaves you with what polyphony???

[@Eyepatchfilms]

+James Reeno 4 voices stacked. Not sure if it will show as a link, but I just uploaded this lightly processed .wav of a dual mode patch eyepatchfilms.com/?p=1157

[@Droidbot_electro]

Dont DO that to us plzzzz... we will cammmm 😛🤙

[@Thomsonicus]

Zajebiste stary! Dzięki że to wrzuciłeś.

[@Trollsky]

Pamiętam ze mogłem ogladac "zmiennikow" tylko przy Dziadku :)

[@Ciopekwah]

2:17 Tak skądś to znam ale nie wiem skąd, a to jest przecież 'Charlie Charlie' Ani Dąbrowskiej :0

[@mechmancannon]

VERY COOL presentation!

[@tmg1968]

great synth! Nice playing to match!

[@computron2]

I have a sx240.Awsome strings and pads.I love how the filter can feed on itself from 99 .jexus I still have that pdf of the board if you didnt get to that nicd battery change let me know.sx240 for life!

[@informationsuperkhan]

12 years later so this is a long shot, but hey 🤞... what do you mean by "the filter can feed on itself from 99." Sounds interesting.

[@prodigalretrod]

@@informationsuperkhan Self oscillation when resonance is set to the maximum value.

[@PierreRipplinger]

That instrument is sooo coool !! I want one now ! Digital stuff makes you feel dumb and this thing looks so easy to use ! nice impros you !

[@SPAZZOID100]

Pierre Ripplinger this has plenty of digital circuitry.

[@Johnnythemonkey26728]

I love the first patch.

[@Esaelectronics]

too good for words

[@StefanTheia]

its very greate , can i work withe sample from video?

[@MIT5000]

this is great !

[@cliksuperestar]

Amazing!!

[@mgrokrutny]

zmiennicy - rewelacja !!!!

[@liennto]

awesome!

[@Rutgerwhooer]

4:19 very authentic BOC sound

[@bjcsupertortoise]

The beginning is a part from Golden Brown I think!

[@mrflash345]

I was enjoying this peaceful calming melody until 5:35 which scared the shit outta me!

[@Artiks13]

This so GREAT!! one muscic is in Bubble pop 1997

[@messi348]

the best is from 4:25 to 5:08 Goosebumps on my back:)

[@SpedeCO2]

I suggest change that battery to prevent batteryleakage. Its a cheap insurace for great synth like this. I have seen enough dead Polysixes becouse batteryleakage.

[@bjcsupertortoise]

@drukarka09 Either a variation of or an accompaniment part from Golden Brown by The Stranglers.

[@MurzynZBangladeszu]

Tytuł nuty z 0:30?

[@PaulKentSkates]

2.45 is sick, I'm gonna try to do something like this on my ion

[@bartomiejozimek7705]

Ktoś odrzuci co za numer jest od 2:47?!

[@4darin5]

Favorite patch at about 6:30. I really need to pick up this synth......then drop it into Psonic INFINITY!!!!!

[@zelozelo9011]

5:12 song ???

[@kauwiks]

[@fa.schlich595]

[@jacekjackowski4940]

Witam czy mógłby Pan rozpisac jak zagrac motyw "pieniedzy" ze zmiennikow? niestety nie mogę rozszyfrowac wszystkich klawiszy

[@paulusmc]

Great demo, made me buy one today! Can you tell me what setting you use for the sound on 2:47? cheers, P-MC

[@fabiuh991]

@RodBeauvex I love it, can you tell me the track name(if it is one)? Thanks

[@monirddr3]

Does anybody know what the song name , which starting @0.30 ?

[@brainnok]

thx for making this video! I just bought one of these synths because of your video. Are you gonna post up your patches? I really like the sounds you programmed. Also, have you got any tips for keeping the noisefloor(S/N ratio) low? let me know. I'm on vintagesynth, too. thanks again.

[@Conhex]

AWESOME can somebody tell me name of the song at 1:34?

[@machiwoomiapoo]

Sweet!

[@quadcam24v]

5:09 - 5:35 is great =)

[@Pawelco]

charlie:-) fajny sprzecik. ma fm?

[@iamyourfuture808]

wowza !!!

[@Polydarian]

How do you do that portamento trick at 3.10 ? Sound awesome

[@yddontungge]

one for sale on Reverb right now

[@EvanPriceMusicChannel]

what is this song at 2:17???

[@bkpc]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnPbon-Cpttnb6M

[@BADTR1P]

(beginning) THAT SOUNDS LIKE... The Stranglers... Golden Brown something something.

[@KarimJ2007]

I have a question. When's it recorded before the upload?

[@connorprice2049]

2:17 sounds familiar. Anyone know if its from a song

[@sleepyphil1392]

i'm almost 100% sure it's from some movie soundtrack but i just can't figure it out

[@DirectVinyl]

lol dude! this one is from a Polish comedy series called "Zmiennicy" because he plays one of the parts

[@azur99]

it's Golden Brown by The Stranglers, i suppose

[@Sjobeck7]

@spontaneous09 I prefer the SX-240 by a nose to my Juno 106, although I've only owned the SX-240 for about a week, it is DEMONIC!!! So fun to punch in custom sounds... = The layout is 1000% better than the Alpha Juno or JX-8p/JX-10 system. Great to split and layer... If it had an Arpeggiator instead of that wussy sequencer it would also exceed the Juno 60 and Poly SIX. This things sounds like a Witch!!!

[@georgegeorgio1751]

Sjobeck7 you must love violent movies and games.

[@dawoof]

@Marcushhify Sounds like The Stranglers - Golden Brown

[@pouria92]

NICE

[@nmt450]

8:30< mygot, this is something psychedelic !

[@idektron]

@nurofiend it does a smidge !

[@douro20]

This thing sounds almost like a wavetable with some of those sounds.

[@julder38]

whats that first song at 6:45 please

[@KurtFuller]

This is the only demo that I like from this guy. These are very good and usefull sounds.

[@SPAZZOID100]

Agreed. Usually his sounds are a bit abrasive.

[@2.7petabytes]

Jexus!!!

[@lolmao_O]

The Stranglers - Golden Brown

[@zibaduaahh]

What are these sound effects on these demos? Some kind of flutter efx etc?

[@donallfinn]

That's called "analog recording media"

[@drukarka09]

what name is song 0:30 ?

[@blauwolfenduro]

i want a 210 or 240 so bad-anyone can help out?

[@SPAZZOID100]

Ebay

[@amonster8mymother]

There's one of these on reverb right now for 3 grand.

[@SPAZZOID100]

Too much.

[@FortressofSound]

ahhh old lady !crunch!

[@JamieJetsonTV]

Some of the keys on my sx 240 have stopped responding. Any tips how to get them working again?

[@SPAZZOID100]

Jamie Jetson bring to a tech.

[@adrianmarth]

If someone sells this synth please contact me! I want one! :) Thanks!

[@sortofawesome]

ya i heard it too

[@Suzukisenpai]

Hm. Nice! So soft analog sound..sweet! This synthesizer greatly resembles Korg Polysix. Most likely they were competitors. But they both are very good. P.S. So beautiful melodies and polypads inside this video!

[@SPAZZOID100]

Suzukisenpai nope. Came out 2 years apart.

[@polishloyalist]

golden brown the stranglers

[@mnichum]

wiecie może co to 5:12

[@azur99]

i'm pretty sure it is.. very similiar at least
