[@antoniomarcello9872]

this is the best show I've ever found, holy man

[@kgbinfo]

That Moonray jam on the JP4 at the end was nice

[@BarnacleButtock]

This is... Literally perfect content. It's just diverse enough to keep me interested and it's so high quality from second to second. The amount of work you must put into this AND managing such a successful business is amazing and respectable. And it's clear you're extremely passionate about everything synths and music. God bless, never stop

[@Memory_Blanks]

Couldnt of said it better myself. Ill be buying parts once we get our societies back up. Much love to everyone!

[@xamphoa]

Nailed it! +1

I'm hooked to this show! All as organic and vintage as it can be!

I'm in synth gear heaven. Get this show on Netflix pronto!

[@annother3350]

[@SyncdAlien]

Good point! Free is very good.

@@SPAZZOID100 Get a job? to spin in the fucking hamster wheel to pay for garbage that has narrative to destroy human culture (Netflix) What is so special about Netflix or any streaming service..they are the arm of Hollywood. Terrible nonsense that people pay for. Some people work for the MAN some people are MEN. Go to work to pay for your subscriptions. that's your idiotic choice. I went to work and built my house.

[@PhilHeesen]

I absolutely love these videos, thanks Syntaur!

[@_P_M_]

Love these episodes. I hope you keep making them. They are fun to watch and informative too.

[@SynthsandSounds]

I've been waiting so long for this! You guys are great and have so many desirable synths

[@CallousCoder]

I keep being amazed by Gerald’s metal working skill. It’s something I really don’t have. And it’s such an important skill.

[@christdolphin69]

i love these episodes so much. thank you for what you do. this is great

[@909955847736]

I just watched this when it said it premiered 6 hours ago and already with 392 views. There really is a huge nerd market out there. Thanks for a great video, looking forward to the CS-80 stuff.

[@rockydurand503]

Excellent video! So great to see some new Jupiter 4 info on here. Can’t wait for the CS80 episode 💖

[@sothic23]

Yeah dudes, you've got yourselves a follower! I'm a huge vintage synth geek and just love these videos...! Please keep em coming and all the best to ya Wizards! :)

[@seanfoulkes]

[@mickydireland]

How fantastic to see this!! I can't wait to see what else you guys produce. Well done and greetings from Ireland. Stay synthy!

[@machiwoomiapoo]

I love your show! This is the last Jupiter I need! Keep up the good work! Happy New year!

[@russellszabadosaka5-pindin849]

Just discovered the channel. This is awesome! I had nothing planned for this lazy Sunday but now I’m going to watch episodes 1-5. All the best from Las Vegas.

[@ProckGnosis]

Lol...you guys are having some serious fun putting these vids together. Great job! Informative and entertaining.

[@fuTuRoMix1]

Great production values guys...that extra effort in the edit is SO worth it! Perfect tv for me. We had a CS80 in the first big studio where I worked which I loved to play in downtime.

[@murtasma]

Love these episodes can't wait for the next one.

[@Natemasterflex]

What a great video! Thank you for making it and sharing 👍

[@ScottWozniak]

Never knew you guys had a KZbin channel! (Just discovered this morning!) I've been ordering parts direct from you for a few years, and ordering parts through Rogue Music here in New York City for probably close to 30 years! You all seem like great guys! Nice to match some faces to the company! Cheers! ❤️🎹

[@jaxman1235]

Great to see the people at Syntaur. Bought some items from them a few years ago and was very pleased with the items. Great video.

[@2000stephenellis]

Simply love these vids ... as a budding synth tech myself i find them informative .. keep up the good work ! greets from the U.K. !

[@jamrug3472]

Yes! I've been waiting for the next episode, thanks!

[@jazzjeffjazzjeff]

Great work, super fun to see it come together. Quite a different sound!

[@vjspectron]

That's some brave work that turned out quite nicely, and a great choice to put that type of switch right on the expression panel!

[@johnmarshall8395]

I ran into the email issue too. But I picked up the phone and Eddie got me straightened out. Thanks Syntaur for supplying what we need to keep our vintage synths going!

[@boggo3848]

This is such a chill channel to watch!

[@jordanzish]

I just discovered you guys when I was looking for a part for my Electribe ESX-1, and about a day later this show showed up in my feed. Well I managed to fix the rotary encoder on my own, but if I need anything in the future, I'll definitely be going with you guys. Thanks for the quality content.

[@robfrederick8745]

Fantastic channel with great content! Thanks for sharing!

[@romulinprince]

Glad I landed on such a fun and informative channel! Synths are the coolest instruments! 😁🤘🎶🛸

[@TheFlyingBusman]

Not a keyboard player but love synth’s, synth music and tinkering around with retro electronic gear. Find this channel most interesting. I could quite happily sit repairing these great bits of kit for a living.

[@cjayrivera]

The video edition its awesome... congratulations! Excellent show

[@andyanderson6455]

LOVE this show !- never stop.

[@TinyMaths]

Now I understand why, in another episode, after finding, restoring and presenting a synth to a guy who had wanted that particular model for many years, you then asked him " is there any particular car you've been wanting for a long time?" I was thinking; " oh, does he know his cars as well? " Now it makes total sense. Beautiful motor you have there.

[@jonnyhead]

Love this show it's so beautifully detailed and filmed 👍👍👍🎧🎹🎹🎧

[@alexquant1335]

The best 40 minutes I've spent on KZbin in a good while. :)

[@jasonritchie8475]

I actually don't understand how this serie doesn't have hundreds of thousands of view. The format is pretty good, and you guys are solid.

Very cool video! You have a new subscriber. Keep these coming. Very educational and fun.

[@Radwalls]

just bought a bunch of stuff for my JD-800 from you guys. Love you guys!!!

You guys and gals truly are Synth Wizards! Hope to see more of that CS80! Also, great idea on the forum, will be joining that promptly!

[@Syntaur]

We'll see you there!

Classic Corvettes, Analog Synths, and running your own business. The American dream.

[@tubejay1]

Awesome show guys! Love it!

[@fredrikh9299]

What a wonderful vid! 75-85 must have been the decade when music was the most inspired by human innovation. These synths deserve a loving hand! The sight of a JP-8 still stirs up magic feelings for me.

[@gurpaful]

Wow, my new favorite show!

[@PutItAway101]

I found a Jupiter 4 for $10 at a rubbish dump recycling shop, it was rusty and full of leaves and dead bugs. It made sound but the pitch would leap around insanely by itself at random, it was beyond my ability to fix so I gave it away to someone who wanted it for parts.

[@davedennis6042]

The collusion reference was awesome LOL

[@fakshen1973]

You found a Yamaha CS-80... junior is just like "whatever." I'd make him walk home.

[@annother3350]

he was being a twat

[@ruikazane5123]

I might even faint if I saw a DX5 or DX7 on sale. What if I found one on the CS? Probably I'd die!

[@mackmccord3743]

@@ruikazane5123 Eye think my brain exploded when Eye heard what he found. So Eye'm sure it would be worse if Eye was the one to find it. And you can possibly find a dx7 on sale here in NY at Armens Repair Shop. He has a site too. Just in case you didn't know about this diamond in the rough

[@ruikazane5123]

Mack McCord Well...I'm not in the US to begin with! They don't even know what is a Moog by the way around my place. All the dudes know would be the Portasound or some Roland electronic piano

This episode breaks my heart. I parted ways with my Jupiter 4 about 15 years ago. Still hurts, man.

Great! 👍👍👍 Enjoyed the whole thing very much.

[@tdaonp]

Having poked around in my Juno 60 more than I'm willing to admit in the eighties and early nineties, I recognise a lot in this video. Roland has brand recognition down to a t, even in the innards of a synth! Great video!

Perth Australia. I'm just a humble owner of a dilapidated Korg X3 but I'm really enjoying your shows and I'm back to my teen synth envy period. Keep on. On to the Forums.

[@xplorer3475]

Can't wait to see the CS-80 restoration !! it's my favourite synth ever. If only i could have one ...

[@dotsunmoon]

There is something extra special about the sound you have coming out of that.

[@79bald]

It's 4 years late, but, cool option for the control mods that dont alter anything or require drilling is push pull pots like in guitar world on amps and guitars. The pot would accept same knob but would give great double control. Also can get pots with buttons in center. Hope you guys see this message and helps. Love your channel and videos. Keep up great work

[@FarkyDave]

New subscriber here and I'm having fun catching up on your episodes!

[@mvoproject]

Very cool! I was really pleasantly surprised when I saw here our soviet synths - АЭЛИТА, РИТМ and ТОМ. Once I played on the ТОМ and I liked that string synth, it sounds very nice for me, true analog. But of course... JUPITER-4 and the True King of the analog poly CS80 - no comment, friends! Its just a miracle.

[@Kewken89]

This is really entertaining!

[@ChazSeamus28]

awesome show

[@m9shamalan]

amazing! very nice work.

[@extropy1]

I just bought a pretty rare analog synth (I've never even seen one before) it's an Ekosynth P15 which is immaculate and even came with the original Eko pedal too. It's a preset synth switchable to manual mode. In manual mode it sounds like a cross between a Roland Jupiter and Moog. I hooked it up to a delay and reverb and couldn't put the thing down. I'm currently looking to see if it could be converted to basic midi or CV. Great video, I love these old Jupiters

[@andretmadrid]

Nice episode!

[@martinlopez2955]

This show is sooo damn good!

[@ReflectingMe2024]

New subscriber here, from across the pond in Wales, UK. I am a synth lover myself, having owned only a few in my time, but currently I own the absolutely awesome Access Virus TI and my Burgundy baby, the Korg KARMA. Sadly though, the KARMA has a few keys not working and despite taking it apart and cleaning the pads, alas some of the keys still no longer work. I also have an issue with the modulation and pitch wheels on my TI, I think there must be a damaged connection from that module to the main board, and I must get around to sorting it if I can. Anyway, loves watching this, and will be happy to watch any new vids you release. Good luck with the Yamaha... greetings from Wales.

[@antfactor]

The one Jupiter I've spent the least time with: a JP4. I've spent extensive time with the 6, 8, and Super Jupiter (which sounds FANTASTIC!!). Thanks for this. :)

[@FortressofSound]

I'm glad weirdos like you exist for all my obscure parts needs. Glad to see some OG's creating new synth videos.

[@tiagomartins906]

Now we just need sound in stereo, listening to your great show with headphones and listening everything on the left side kills me. xD

[@sounddesignerinc.1770]

Nice work from Chicago !

[@viciouspinkmusic]

Great work.! We still have most of our old synths, they are still in working order, only one needs some attention. All the very best, Vicious Pink.

[@MisAnnThorpe]

You're still going?! Cccan't you see should've been a massive hit. I'm guessing that it did well in many European countries, just not the UK?

[@viciouspinkmusic]

@@MisAnnThorpe Hi, sorry for a late reply, but better late than never. Yes, we are. It did well in the UK too, stayed low in the national chart for 11 Weeks, with sales of over 250,000 enough for top 10 or more if condensed down to a couple of Weeks. We got unfairly weighted down the chart by Gallup the company running the chart. In other charts such as Capital radio we reached number 2, also it was club smash hit. Hope this helps clear things up a little. VPX

[@creatorsremose]

Awesome video, thank you! Please mix the music volume a little lower next time? It was way too loud. Thanks!
