Synth Wizards Episode 1: Road Warriors

[@9000knobs]

Came back to reply again after watching this fully. You guys just plain rock ! I love this. Poor kid, i hope he realizes this is gold father and son time.

[@reviewerman9786]

"Some of these are really close to working," says everyone with broken keyboards. lol

[@papankunci]

what a great show! especially for synths addict!

[@The_Vile_Vortices]

This is MY kind of TV.

[@sloppycrotch7289]

I could watch these for days

[@Hyper5nic]

So you're saying, you have been watching these every few days? ;-)

[@gurgisjones1120]

This is way too cool. What could be better, a road trip picking up synths and keyboards. Thanks for taking us along. Very addictive viewing.

[@prodstuntman]

I know this one is three years old but damn you guys got something really special going on with this series

[@francescogoldoni7718]

Now I know where my Roland D-50 bender assembly come from!! You're awesome guys!

[@9000knobs]

Awesome :) ! Rescue Synths ! I like this theme. Cool to see there are dedicated peeps who will take care of those juno's. Nice.

[@christophernoia5197]

Holy shit you know Radiohead’s keyboard tech... that’s awesome! I saw them on the same tour and it was a show I’ll never forget. They are one of several artists that inspired me to get into synthesis and they hold a special place in my heart. Your son has good taste! Thanks for the great content! Edit: I also visited the moog factory, for the first time, around the same time of the year you did. What a treat!

[@linux327]

You guys are brilliant, wish you had a branch in the UK/EU too!

[@RCAvhstape]

Trying to imagine how you left a van full of music gear in a hotel parking lot in North Jersey without it getting broken into...

[@pmadsea077]

I was wondering the same thing 🙂

[@rachelar]

Yeah, I d be stressed out worrying during the radio head gig

[@JCBudro16]

As a frequent customer of Syntaur, I'm excited to see where this series goes. Would love to see more that Arp Quadra from the intro, there is so little info/videos on youtube of them.

[@sloppycrotch7289]

Justin I have an old half working quadra. I was excited to see one in the beginning. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it

[@JCBudro16]

Good luck with that. Quadras are notoriously hard to get parts for these days, and some parts you can't get at all without cannibalizing other Quadras. And if the membrane switches aren't working you're pretty much SOL. You could always send it to me and I can add it to my pile of restoration projects on top of my Roland GR500. :D

[@troypol343]

I had no idea Syntaur had a youtube channel. I ordered some parts back in 2012 from Syntaur. Thanks for your service! I also went to Moog during the summer of 2016 and looked in their showroom.

[@tenthconcept]

This is like American Pickers but for synthesizers.

[@audioartisan]

My thoughts exactly!

[@Gus-jb8cm]

Another great show to watch.... But I do prefer keyboards to junkyard stuff!!

[@manuelcarneiro9441]

What a fantastic episode!!!!!!!!!! This is great!!!!!!!!

[@MarshalArnold]

Cool show guys! Hope you are going to make more!

[@audioartisan]

I bought my first Yamaha DX from Rouge Music! What an awesome journey Sam!

[@dali9160]

JX-Series from 80's have the Programmer PG-800 with faders!!! LOVE IT!!!

[@russell_szabados]

Speaking of the 8P, I still have a JX-3P/PG-200 programmer that I worked for through the summer of ‘84. That synth is built like a tank, it’s been sat upon, survived beer spills and even fell off the stage at CBGB. You turn Omni off by looping a MIDI cable then powering up, lol. That synth is like the son I never had.

[@mollyringmod3815]

Cool video of your biz and service. I will keep you guys in mind when I need my synths serviced

[@skafaced102]

I've met that guy and been in there a bunch of times! Love that store.

[@alveydoug]

These are always entertaining and well done, so I thought I’d go back to #1 and it was just as good! A little corny here and there; good backing tracks and ideas (sub-floors to protect the goodies!), love it; even a bored teen!

[@theaudioeng]

Great fun! Now I know what Cliff looks like!! I bet that load will keep Gerald busy for VERY long .... thanks for quick shipping of my D-50 rubber contact strips & SY99 Sliders (these seem pretty insignificant vs. the racks & racks of spares I now see!!). Look forward to your next synth round up vid. Best

[@Elspode]

Love your video...I had this same experience in July of this year. The Moog factory tour was amazing.

[@Skyisnotalimit]

Wow, i had one of those Akai Ax 73 as a young boy... Had to press "Auto tune" every time or else it sounded false.... For the last sound in the bank, i programmed a jet engine sound, me and a friend hooked it up to my fathers big stereo, turned up the volume and pushed three high notes. The noise was like... An airliner rewing up for takeoff thrust. My dad rushed into the room furious, shouting -What in the hell are you doing!! -Hell turn it down!! So many great memories... R.I.P dad! We all miss you....

[@davefreemanlive]

15:01 - Hi Clay! One of the most knowledgeable people on the planet, AND - he's a really nice dude :-) Of course he was the one who first introduced me to Syntaur - knowledgeable and really nice people seem to all know each other!

[@mpeckmusic]

Started from the beginning (I think), wonderful series guys! Wish you could’ve seen the original Moog factory by the river. Did some time there beta testing Foogers.

[@YourFreeBeats]

This is great stuff. I'm definitely going to come visit you guys real soon.

[@jzarfas]

I have watched all your episodes and look forward to more thanks :)

[@bmrrogers]

Man.... I love the Arp Quadra.

[@AdjustableSquelch]

go for about £4000 in europe. I wants the precious!

[@TheArpomni2]

AdjustableSquelch thats exactly what ive just sold my third Quadra for , ive seen idiots asking for up to £12000 lol

[@scottstevenz8732]

first pro gig I did we opened for Chameleon (Yannis was key player for a while)....I had to use the Arp Quadra that they had set up. "But don't touch the g 3 key because it sticks"......of course I played that key and had a stuck note for an entire song. shit

[@rwbrookhouse]

Great video Guys! You are awesome!

[@TsavosAlliance]

Synthesizer Dreamland!

[@OnBP]

thats crazy, they went to the same place where I used to take piano lessons (Everything Piano and Organs)! too bad they closed that place not too long after I stopped taking lessons there.

[@mattluney517]

4:03 is the beginning of Souvenier by OMD

[@scottstevenz8732]

thats super cool. I do this kind of thing locally. I scored some really cool stuff. D50 , matrix 6 , arp omni , emax II , trinity, pc 88mx , qs 8 .....just got an oasys for 50$! Fixed it too! Wish you would show in detail what you picked up! peace!

[@kcasey1220]

I’m glad the business is profitable enough to afford to go on long road trips like that. They had just what I needed to fix up my Juno 106

[@KiR_3d]

"Breaking Bad for Synths" :)) Starting to watch these series, the atmosphere seems right to me!

[@victorscherman1437]

I would love to go on a synth road trip with you guys.

[@iamyourfuture808]

Wow ! Cody's a bunch of positivism aint he now

[@kixxalot]

iamyourfuture808 He seem super excited for sure ;) But would you be psyched to go on a road trip with your own dad?

[@SylvainMartelFairlight]

Picking up a truckload of classic synths and getting to see Radiohead including backstage passes? F*ck yeah I'd be.

[@rectalfission]

Kinda like his f*ck all attitude, gives some extra crisp to the show .

[@Carol120454]

Been watching your series, and I'm impressed. I know we live in a throw away society, but I never knew there were so many broken/abused keyboards out there. How do you find all of them? Glad you exist, I'll be looking at your website soon to find a replacement key(only one broken, everything else works) for my 80's Casio keyboard. Don't want to get rid of it, even though I have a new Yamaha.

[@100ThingsIDo]

Great one :D Looking forward to part 2

[@doughkey]

Love this channel 😁😍

[@kwaddamage8286]

i gave my PG-800 control panel to my brother after my gr-77 bass guitar synth went. and it works with the JX-8P. so with that extra module you have ALL the controls.

[@nixiebeats8734]

Hello from CT. I wish there was a place like you guys around here. id beg for a job until you either ave me one or filed for a restraining order lol

[@lucaalessandrini3765]

do you have a video on the KORG MONO/POLY?

[@whheaattzmayne3183]

Cody reminds me of myself before I enlisted in the Marines. Very enthusiastic lol

[@hectorruiz5821]

Hi I love all the vintage keyboards . I have a Roland d50 that the volume only works on high . I think it’s the potentiometer for the volume . Where in Texas are y’all located ? I live in Texas . Would y’all have the volume replacement parts for this Roland d50?

[@robertsyrett1992]

Gerald is the best.

[@spaceecamafanzinedm3705]

good step for Hollywood hall of frame entertainment!!

[@cliffjones40]

how can you help me get piano 360 my dream

[@909Junkies]

R.I.P Gerald

[@anonymoushuman8344]

It's like when you're 14 and you're trying to give yourself that Philip Oakey haircut. It ain't workin! (At 10:17)

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

Do you like aphex twin and square pusher

[@ripplesr5655]

Hey wizards,what is that music from 4.08 mins?Sounds fantastic!

[@ripplesr5655]

Ya got it in the description.Thanks guys!

[@pdxsaintjohn]

I'll show this to my wife so she doesn't feel so badly about my project pile in the garage. ;-)

[@amans2806]

Great content

[@rmanpojo8485]

JX-9p is completely digital but sounds analogue? Am I wrong?

[@MaxwellHendrickson11]

I would go on a road trip like that, even without the bribery of Radiohead!

[@KarlMiller-DjKarl]

I wish I would have kept all my old synths, guitars, and digital pianos... ☮🔥

[@findJLF]

Great video - thank you.

[@BagasMY]

can you make the video for roland rs 09? i have one of it but can't repair it,it will help me if u can make the video,bcs my roland string problem is about dead keys

[@HowardBaileyMusic]

Why didn't you build your van subfloor before you left? LOL

[@dadautube]

great job ... only, i'm going to feel sad about that Suzuki keyboard's cabinet you gifted to the hotel until the end of time ... :-( ;-)

[@Classic_Adventures_1972]

Anyone know what the racks for the keyboards are at around 1.16?

[@Syntaur]

Those racks are from Target, and we just bought another one so I can give you exact details. The brand is Room Essentials, it's $59.95, and the store item number is 002-11-0185. On their site, it is listed as 'Adjustable 5-Tier Wire Wide Shelving Unit - Black 0- Room Essentials'.

[@lifeintheultraviolet]

love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fuggles2544]

Just boosted the likes to 505... seems prescient - I'm sure I spotted a groovebox under the arm unloading the van there towards the end.

[@מיכאלב-ה5מ]

how much do you earn for this , that you are driving so far for couples of synths?

[@kameraadbonesoep]

I really like the series Sam! Too bad the video microphones don't sound as good as those forsaken keyboards!

[@dominikkarkowski]

Can I have one?

[@billgio6672]

Do you ship in europe and if you do if there is a solution for the volts because we use 220v here ! Thank you

[@Syntaur]

We ship all over the world - in fact 1 out of 4 packages we send goes overseas. The voltage issues only come into play with the power supply end of things - so the power transformer or power supply board might be different for different continents. But other circuit boards and components will be the same.

[@Syntaur]

We do ship worldwide - in fact, a fourth of our orders are from outside of the US.

[@woabeatz9717]

Please fixthose old korg trinitys....at pawn shops...

[@AdjustableSquelch]

Quadra! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant!

[@JCooperAudioSystems]

Awesome!!

[@toddglacy1161]

Been to the Moog factory a couple of times...and Parking is a bitch!

[@gelatinous6915]

I'd love to see what you wizards could do with a Poly-600- trick the living shit out of one

[@syncdestroyer]

LOVE ROUGE MUSIC!!!

[@Syntaur]

Yes, very cool shop, with great guys!

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

Rip keith emerson

[@TheKorgUser]

U know it‘s strictly forbidden 2 use a handy while driving....

[@Syntaur]

Yeah, um... that was just a studio effect, using a green screen - yeah, that's it! Kids, don't ty this at home.
