Proteus/1 with Polara, Obscura, and Nautila

[@wildhorse4262]

These types of before/after with simple FX are so inspiring! Thank you and please keep it up!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

:^)

[@dav1dbone]

When the proteus 1 and 2 came out external FX costs were huge, I felt the lack of internal FX even just reverb let these sound modules down, nice to see and hear someone still using them today,

[@リベリオン]

This is absolutely great... What a magic sound with these pedals... ✨

[@audiolego]

I have one of these Proteus 1. It’s for my ahhhs, string and bell and poly synth and pad creation

[@b3stbuddy]

Really sounds great! Perfect for the evening! Thanks!

[@koalemos1679]

Omg, that little song you played on with the child's play sample was really cool. I felt like I was playing a game on my playstation 1 back in the 90's :D

[@AriKona]

Wow! These pedals really add new dimension to the sound. On Sunset Guitar, though, it seems to mask the sound of the "strings" being strummed. All in all, a very ethereal enhancement. Good investment Paolo.

[@dirtyd4389]

I just picked one of these up for about $40. I mainly got it because I need a multitimbral synth to record to my sequencer recorder. I'm still a little new to music but your a huge inspiration for me, especially the italo disco style! Ciao paulo

Amazing Sounds - Vangelis Like Even

[@johnsaunders6510]

It sounds amazing.

[@HeIiosphan]

Wonderfull pads for a wonderfull video. You are awesome thank you very much ++

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you!

[@Momiyama808]

I bought an Obscura yesterday because of your previous video. It sounds amazing with my DX7. Cheers Sir Paolo!🎹🎹🎹

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

[@sfwaddell]

Wow! A bunch of Angels!

[@LouisSerieusement]

so cool thank you Paolo !!!

[@jonglass]

I'd love to hear you develop these themes in longer pieces. :-D

[@SaifSameer]

EMU did great job indeed. It sounds way better than modern keyboards... Great stuff thanks :)

[@0e0]

Proteus 2 is still fantastic

[@Noise-Conductor]

Very nice demo showing how much FX pedals can take even a old ass synth sounds to another level. I wasn't even thinking about FX pedals but now hearing what u did really inspired me to start looking to add some to my setup. I got an Proteus-2500 with the Protozoa card & was thinking about selling but now.... I don't know. BTW I just recently found out about Harold Budd about 2 weeks ago & love his style of music. So far my favorite albums is Ambient 2 & The Pearl both with Brain Eno. Thanks for making these videos!

[@bobsbigboy_]

a bunch of angels made me cry wow.. If there is anything I love its choir synths, ugh

[@Eazy-V]

Thanks you, i guess i have to buy them all now.....

[@apislapis]

Fortunately, the digitech range is reasonably priced too.

[@anrque]

Hurry before prices shoot up. Harman laid off all the employees working on DOD/Digitech stuff back in May.

[@NewBlueMario1016]

I hope you guys can do another Proteus/2 video with Percussion 1, Flute, Piccolo, Trumpet, Xylophone, Basson and even Glockenspiel instruments used in that sample. Those are timeless!

[@D1967A]

It sounds magical!!!

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Love my plus version keyboard. The effects make it that much more amazing.

[@danielortizdecaracas]

plase another video with proteus patches and effects thanks

[@dooldriverr]

Really nice Thanks

[@АлексейСоколов-с2ф]

C обработкой звучит очень обьемно.Прекрасно!

[@daswensen]

Алексей Соколов Не ожидал встретить русских

[@MSM5500]

ну да, обычно они торчат от этого: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHPRnnmpgsh0qMU

[@korolchukpp]

Согласен!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Путин неплохо играет на пианино!

[@MSM5500]

Paolo, please confirm you've been sarcastic here. It's really a big deal.

[@LouisSerieusement]

those FX begin to be very appealing to me ; thanks great vid as usual :) :) :)

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

:^)

[@iqi616]

0:47 nice!

[@johntammaro]

I play ukulele (at least try hard to😋), mine has an output jack which I plug into an old Korg multi effects peddle. I'd love to hear you push some Ukulele sounds through this pedal set up. PS. Sunset Guitar dry reminded me of The Beatles - All My Life organ solo by George Martin at least sonically it did. Child's Play sounded just like Eninio Morricone - Watch Chimes from a Few Dollars More

[@nofretzDW]

Just in time tonight haha. First view, first comment. Sunset guitar is incredible!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

:^)

[@apislapis]

These digitech pedals are not only great sounding but also relatively inexpensive and offer stereo (which is great for synths and keyboards). Instead of a Polara I have a digitech Supernatural as part of my chain but I'm considering adding a Polara too. Shhh! Don't tell everyone. They may all discover how good these pedals are.

[@skyechapman6595]

*used to be inexpensive 😓

[@apislapis]

@@skyechapman6595 Damn. Somebody told 'em.

[@RobynVids]

With some patience you can still get great deals! But for sure they're not what they used to be

[@magnusvanttinen7855]

Great! This is the secret of making great tools for good ambient music and the best artist like Brian Eno and others using this technique. Do NOT sell your hardware synths- get some cool efx boxes instead and re-use them and be creative!

[@ezquimal]

I really like a old Rack effect Alesis Alex. To my a nice delay and Reverb by a cheap cost. I want to see you with a line6 Helix to see what can you program.

[@ezquimal]

Sorry Is lexicon alex

[@Mr.Steve-O]

Paolo, in order of most usefulness out of these 3 pedals how would you rank them ? Polara #1, Obscura #2, Nautila # 3 ??? Thanks for the great clip, I loved it

[@5argetech56]

Paolo if you have a Korg Symphony module, I would love to hear that through those new pedals you got.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

5argeTech /\ , I don't have a Symphony, hopefully will get one at some point

[@5argetech56]

SynthMania I'm not absolutely certain, but I think it has the same synth engine that's in the Korg M1. There are two of them the P3 which is the piano module, and the PO 3 which is the symphony.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Yes, same era -

[@nazhdakov]

Help me please! I cannot sync roland w30 with roland cr8000 ((

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Unfortunately you can't synchronize the W-30 to the CR-8000 directly simply using a MIDI cable, it won't work - you need to get another device in between that converts between MIDI and DIN Sync - there are several on the market including Roland's own fairly recent SBX-1, google "MIDI to Roland DIN Sync converter"

[@nazhdakov]

Thank you very much!!!))) Im gonna use this box - Kenton D-Sync B))

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

You're very welcome

[@edrosa3485]

Confession: Music gear that is not analogue scare me. I've had a bit of not analogue gear and I've failed to bond with them so it makes me really gun shy about straying from analogue. Perhaps I should blow the dust off my Vox Delaylab and Line 6 M13 and try and come to friendly terms with them again...

[@metalhead76250]

Dude, u Just try a d50 with something like a tc g major, you would be surprised by the punch and tone of this synth, just download some nice banks and it will blow your mind for an all digital rig

[@fjfrancois]

Are those factory presets? because I had two Proteus 1 back in 1990, and I don't recall those sounds

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Yes, these are factory presets. And here's my html page on the Proteus/1: www.synthmania.com/proteus_1.htm

[@gustavoelizondo2498]

You should try out the Zoom MS100BT, it has a great collection of FX and they just made all the iOS downloadable effects free.

[@VisVitalisDJ]

I own the Zoom MS100BT and the Digitech Polara. Yes the Zoom is a good FX Pedal (you can build 6 effects chain) but the polara is even more brilliant. And so I think it is, when it comes to do chorus or delay. But I'll try to get one Obscura to get a closer look on that. Don't understand me wrong, but my opinion is, that Digitech is the "real" good sounding warm thing. The Zoom is not bad, but it sounds thinner and not as mighty it sounds with the Digitech Products.

[@danielortizdecaracas]

any other patch? lead or strings with this fx

[@domiloik]

AAaaaand more money on FX, at least these one are quite cheap. Great video .

[@slammingsamples8855]

Hey Paulo what do u think about the proteus? I don’t know much about it. Great vid! I’m about to fall down the guitar pedal rabbit hole myself 😱😅

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Here's what I thought of the Proteus when I first heard it at a music store in '89 synthmania.com/proteus_1.htm

[@nicolashunter4131]

so,it´s more important the effect pedal than the synth,that sucks
