Synthesizer Show & Tell | Korg Poly800 | Part 2

[@erikt211]

The song def gave me Tesla Boy vibes from their first album!

[@MarshalArnold]

Gotta do it, a Reading Rainbow remix!

[@miguelylladescarrillo8989]

Great song and entertaining show! Thank you for the info on the synth!

[@paulackermann6957]

Fantastic song and video! absolutely gorgoeous! In fact, your creativity is the essential component to the Poly800 ´s sound

[@MiddleAgeMusic]

Good stuff! Now I'm going to have to buy one of those.

[@JobimSynthMusic]

that filter envelope sound in the panflute is an essential component to poly 800's unique sound!

[@romaindelachaux1222]

Had the opportunity to buy one but was hesitating. Saw your 2 videos. Bought it straight after.

[@synthartist69]

Great demo... love the whole ZOO thing...

[@DanielGBenesScienceShows]

What a totally fun and addictive song! It sounds something I’d expect to be featured on Zoboomafoo! The Poly 800 MK II was very first first programmable synth ever back in 1986/87 and it was completely awesome to see it glorified this way! And what a drummer! You inspired me to brush the dust off my Poly and you earned a subscriber.

[@infolla6769]

Indeed addictive sound.

[@akrearke]

Love the song and production!

[@f115Recs]

just followed through from part1. far more versatile than i expected! thank you!

[@wolfmoon9540]

i learned so much and loved the song at the end. tis the best synth nerd channel

[@StephenLearson]

wolf moon thanks!

[@littlebritain64]

Gooood video! And the song is so 80's. Can't believe it is all made using the Poly-800!!

[@alecaventura]

What a great song! so fresh, and creative, got yourself a new follower, " Lasers and kittens " is also great! well done my friend :0

[@EricKeinrath]

Definitely nice walk through the Zoo! And through the Poly-800. Congrats!

[@man2marryu]

Brilliant 😊👌

[@jarekkotek2719]

my kind of song

[@motoboy6666]

Have a poly800 mk2, found it in the garbageroom at an earlier apartment building. My favorite synth.

[@StephenLearson]

motoboy6666 lucky you! It looks like a toy, but it’s totally amazing

[@motoboy6666]

Learson Peak yeah, most ppl doesnt seem to like it but its totally up my alley. No vst will ever sound the same😁

[@dkba52]

Love my poly 800

[@schance1666]

Sounds like a square wave, not a saw. Still got my Poly Mk1, my first poly synth. So worth the bread! (even though when i bought it it's $750 in today's money!). Great demos and playing!!! Great vids.

[@toskabyss]

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez this is such a heater

[@Magluss]

Fantastic song and fun, very animal ( jajaja), good sounds with the poly 800 II. Thanks for all

[@geevee7823]

Brilliant, love your videos and music.

[@StephenLearson]

Gee Vee thanks!

[@The1realbro]

Standing ovation. Like watching an Gold medal Olympic track event!

[@Lofyne]

Great work, I love the song! Inspires me to want start programming more sounds on my Poly 800

[@vosinus]

great explanations and great music! keep it up!

[@JobimSynthMusic]

right from the start a lovely patch , sounds like cassette tape lo-fi stuff without the tape hassle. great!

[@brendondavid7349]

Had to sub after hearing that song at the end

[@thisNewFoundLand]

Hey! thanks much Fun, very illuminating programming-wise, and steeped in skills ... what a show! And, most definitely, a great tune -- was singing it in the car a few days after watching the first time. Your production skills (a and v) are tight. Keep on! Subbed.

[@StephenLearson]

thisNewFoundLand thanks so much for the love! You made my day

[@IntellectualDarkWave]

Sweet song! The Poly 800 was my first analog synth (bought it in 2006). The paraphonic filter drove me crazy, but I cut my teeth on it. I ended up selling it and buying a poly61 which was a little more straightforward, but similar.

[@junglsmor]

some nice chords

[@StephenLearson]

junglsmor thanks! I love harmony

[@peterkadarmusic9728]

It's a lot like a programmable version of the Synth section of the Korg Delta.

[@TheWriter86]

Dude so sick. I feel like I’m about to be addicted to your channel. Can’t wait to get this badboy. It’s next on my synth list. I bought the Roland w30 a few days ago. This was a hundred more so I decided to get what I could afford at the time haha but man am I looking forward to the poly 800!!!!

[@user-JM1967]

Very interessant!

[@Sam-wp7gw]

Low traffic on this video but if you are a beginner and somehow got ur hands on a poly 800 (me) this is the best video to help understand it on youtube

[@StephenLearson]

Sam I’m glad I could help!

[@DJJBENASIS]

You’re videos are some of the best out right now!! I have a poly 800 mk1, if you had one and made a preset pack I would definitely buy it 😩 you’re sound design is next level!!! Excellent stuff!! Cannot wait to see what you do next!

[@StephenLearson]

Hey thanks! I wouldn’t know where to start making a sample pack. How do you make one?

[@DJJBENASIS]

Learson Peak so like the mk1, you can save your preset bank as a wave form from the tape out I believe it is, but you just record it into the daw. Then the wav can be transferred into any other mk2, or if you get a mk1 and make a preset bank it can be transferred into any mk2. So essentially you could sell the bank via soundcloud by uploading a song using many of the sounds in your custom soundbank, you could put in the description message me to buy, and people can pay you via paypal and then you email them back the wave form via wav. Or if you have an online store, soundcloud allows you to add a “buy now” button and then it would take people to your online store to the preset page. Theres a huge market for quality presets on these synths, all synths really. I personally have spent a fortune on presets, even for my poly 800 mk1, I bought this guys preset pack who also makes youtube videos. Would love to buy from you! Like I said your sound design is very advanced, you can hear it! For the future I have a poly 800 mk1, moog sub phatty, and roland jd xi 😂😉 hope this helped!

[@StephenLearson]

Benasis I’ve done it like that before with the Juno 60. I was just hoping there was an easier way...

[@DJJBENASIS]

Learson Peak ahh Im not quite sure, hope you can figure it out tho!

[@briansansone]

Damn....catchy. I found this looking into the poly 800. One has popped up for 200$. I think I have to get it after this!

[@kiko1935]

This is one of the weirdest synths of all time. I know it's just subtractive but the filter, envelopes, maybe the oscillators give it a weird sound? I like it though, don't get me wrong. Looking into an ex800..

[@12opsynths]

Did you de-noise the audio or is the mark ii way quieter than the original? Really nice 2-parter btw. Love the reharms on the zoo song.

[@StephenLearson]

My Mk2 is really pristine. No noise at all. Not sure what I did to deserve that!

[@thedutchgoonie2989]

wel that song was eh... wild 😂

[@enzoferrera8178]

Hi I really love your videos and I love this synth I was wondering what you think the current value of the 800 mkii is because I have the chance to buy one now and wanted to see what you said.

[@mfbeatz]

Arrrrhhh i can t decide between this or the poly61...!!! Heeeelp lol

[@StephenLearson]

MF BEATZ the Poly61 is amaze-balls. I had one but the battery melted all over the inside.

[@mfbeatz]

@@StephenLearson yes i know thats the classic default on this model. The one i m about to buy, the battery has been isolated

[@StephenLearson]

MF BEATZ go for the 61. I love the poly800 but the 61 is awesome. I miss mine, but they’re selling for crazy prices these days

[@littlebritain64]

I also would go for the 61. I would consider it a sort of Poly 800's bigger brother.

[@SoundsofDecay]

Do you know how to bring up an init patch on one of these and build a patch from the ground up? I got one recently and most of the presets are a bit naff, but you only need to do some minor editing to make them a lot better.

[@StephenLearson]

SoundsofDecay There’s no init patch but I saved one patch as a simple saw. When I want to make a patch from scratch I go to that patch and just save it to another number

[@itsJWPH]

Hi, Learson! Will you take on the Moog Liberation next? It's basically the MG-1, but in keytar form. Anyways, DFTBA!

[@StephenLearson]

Kobe Dancil Coo Sure! Can I borrow yours?

[@itsJWPH]

Actually... I don't have one, to be honest. But I still look forward for that future Moog Liberation video! *sigh*

[@StephenLearson]

Kobe Dancil Coo I mean... who does have a Moog Liberation? I’ll ask around and see if some of my friends are holding out on me.

[@fbowie21]

@@StephenLearson Phil Oakey has one I saw him use it on stage lol

[@maxmatson1578]

The song at the end kind of makes me think of Peter Gabriel?

[@StephenLearson]

Max Matson sweet, I love me some Peter Gabriel

Great Channel man subbed! if you ever need some retro guitars id be glad to jam and add something funky to your tracks, have few improvs on my channel

[@JobimSynthMusic]

"ad'bssur" hahaha

[@danielrobinson9679]

You cheated! Wheres the synth drums? Lol... Seriously, Ive never been able to pull decent drums from this synth and was hoping you would have had some ideas! Great job still, hooked on your videos sir!

[@StephenLearson]

Daniel Robinson I know I totally cheated. If only I had another 72 hours to menu dive...

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Poly800 or Poly61?

[@littlebritain64]

I have the 800, really nice, but I would like to own the more powerful 61....
