The future of EXPRESSIVE analog synths is HERE

[@Midi-olo-gist6758]

I just watched this entire video on my big screen TV. With a great sounding system. And talk about being blown away. If I were younger and not battling cancer, I'd have this keyboard setup tomorrow. These two synth geniuses bring a wealth of creativeness to the entire synthesizer world. Hats off to both of you. Can't wait to see and hear what you've got coming next, Anthony. You're the best!!😊

[@TheRealNatendo]

I hope you win bro

[@JOSHMADOFF]

Thanks so much for having me at your studio Anthony! It was such an honor to explore these amazing insturments with you 🙏.

[@darryldouglas6004]

I’m laughing at myself for the number of times I’ve tried to wiggle a key to get expression like vibrato. Great demo and I’m only a few minutes into it. 😃👍

[@daniel_dumile]

yes its a very intuitive interface

[@Siralantoon]

More awesomeness from Anthony's channel. I have barely gotten over last week with the GOAT. I'm a 70 year old guitarist.. and here I am saving up for a Korg ARP.. oh Anthony you are so inspirational.. Thank You

Get the Behringer 2600! I'm not kidding! For over 20 years I've been an avid HATER of Behringer gear, for it would explode at night without it even being plugged in (LOL!). They've 100% upped their game since 2015 or so and last year, I got the chance to buy a 2nd hand B-2600 and it blew me away! I was THÁT impressed.... with a, what I used to call, a "MEHringer"! I've bought their Model D and Pro 800 as well and they all sound incredible and most importantly: they still work and do the job! :D

[@RobHussey-rb4gy]

I’m blown away thinking about these synths that were designed decades ago, how they can connect to newly invented MPE keyboards and together create an experience that sounds completely new. Hats off to Haken for the CVC connective tissue, and to the two of you and Rob Rosen for collaborating to make this magic happen! Absolutely thrilling!!!

[@Rametetr]

Love Josh's playing style. Full of unexpected twists and turns and sudden rhapsodic ebullitions, grounded by cadences of yore.

[@bcnsound]

brilliant. I think we are all just scratching the surface of the osmose as an instrument / controller. I just got one and my mind is exploding with ideas

[@morph-the-cat]

This channel spits out consistently amazing videos like it's nothing! You're going to have quite the subscriber count in the future!

[@DrVenture45]

Oh...that jam session was so RIGHT! Man, if I were a movie maker I'd be beating down your door to produce soundtracks! Good stuff!

[@Gerald_Daniel]

Thank you so much for letting us dive deep into the pool of fresh, warm analogue goodness brought to a new dimension by glorious MPE.

[@mranalog241]

This is the best demonstration of MPE controllers and analog synths I’ve ever seen, and probably the best ever made. You covered both the musical and the technical details with enough depth and clarity for anyone to follow along and fully understand how these technologies work together. Amazing! ❤

[@javimm77]

These sounds totally reminds me of Vangelis. In some way he was super expressive with his synth sounds, maybe because he used the Yamaha CS-80 that offered more control over the notes that other synths of the era. Very enjoyable video!

[@supercompooper]

It's kind of sad Vangelis past before he could witness what we have here today. He very much wanted this type of control to be available for musicians and lamented that the last great keyboard in his lifetime I think was the CS80.

[@juliusdobos]

The amazing thing about the Continuum is that its first version has existed since 1999. Let that sink in. I've been using it only for 12 years, though. Risky to play it on stage, just the way I like it.

[@MrDigitalHamster]

This is super exciting and inspiring, cutting edge for sure. Getting Wendy Carlos/Clockwork Orange/Tron vibes early on in this video. Very nice. This is the perfect continuation from hanging at Mike Deans place with his freeforrm style. The best part here is the duet at the 19:00 mark where you two perform together... Magical. Its crazy to hear/witness the literal evolution of the sythesizer using The Moog 3C... Its kinda like time travel or something... its like that Moog was just waiting all this time for an expressive keyboard to be invented and connected to it.

[@sjay4673]

These new keyboard controllers open up amazing new use cases for our analog gear. Thanks for this great overview, Anthony, Josh, and the whole crew involved behind the scenes! 👍

[@northjeep]

Cutting edge. Thanks for not wrecking this content with fluff. AMAZING performances.

[@NoelKoutlis]

incredible performance at 20:00+

[@98INST]

I love that you also shine the lights to the experts and specialists on the gear you review as well.

[@trstack]

it brings me pure joy to see a guy with such incredible talent and credentials act like a kid in he candy store. Anthony we love you and what you do…keep ‘em coming and buy the Osmose and Continuum if you haven’t already. While not an Osmose, I’m thrilled by the polyAT in my Montage M8x.

[@scottgall8383]

The jam around the 19 min mark sounds like vintage Floyd. Top performance guys, bravo!

[@jt_via]

Wow! Simply unbelievable! The music is breathtaking; best of both worlds between the analog sounds we love and so much expression!!! Thanks for showing how the control signals are patched in. I was really curious about that.

[@SamLibman]

This is just too cool. We really are in a new renaissance era of synthesis! Thank you so much for all the amazing and inspiring content Anthony!

[@christophschumacher640]

Synthesis on the highest level . Knowledge in perfection Just perfect 🙏✌️

[@bejeweledpro]

These are great examples of the fact that we may have another synthesizer renaissance soon! My mind is blown thinking about what new expressive advancements synthesists my have at their fingertips in the future.

Happy birthday Josh 🎂🎉🎉🎉🥳

[@JOSHMADOFF]

Thank you!!

[@supercompooper]

I have both of these man! I've been a customer of Haken Audio for very very long time. I've one of the very few only white continuum fingerboards! Maybe 15 years I've had the Haken Continuum CV too for the modular ❤❤

[@nzprojects]

I would love to have on of those at my home studio. I wouldnt come out of a house for a year, im certain hehe.🎶☮

[@morganmensa5129]

It's like adding the expressiveness of strings to a keyboard. Gamechanger.

[@FrancisMaxino]

There was a Roland keyboard or controller that had aftertouch pressure sensitivity and you could wiggle the keys for vibrato back in the late 80s...I couldn't stop playing it in a music instrument store as a young teenage muso keyboardist...after a bit of research I have discovered it was called the A50 and A80...I love using the D-Beam controller that came out on some Roland synthesizors for after touch on lead which is why I got myself an A-49 controller even though it doesn't have many knobs or any sliders but what I wouldn't give for the amazing stuff the A50 was able to do, hoping these controllers aren't prohibitively expensive...

[@0richbike]

4x 2600. V cool. Arturia polybrute 12 just entered the party

[@Celso_Luis]

I always wanted to try a Haken Continuum since I listened to Jordan Rudess playing one in 'Octavarium' by Dream Theater. I'm mainly a guitarist, but lately I'm becoming fascinated with the synth world. My KZbin algorithm is already skewed from how much I've binged on Anthony's videos this year :D

[@dodgedforgottenn]

Awesome video! More great work from the AM channel!

[@HustonSingletary]

Fantastic. Great to see you guys together and hear the 4 synths all come to life through MPE.

[@stiptreezy8481]

The captions capturing "ohs" and "yous" is wild. Its so expressive its hearing actual voices O.O

[@macronencer]

Man, I wish Bob Moog were still around to watch this video. I think he would have been excited to see it. I'd LOVE to have a Continuum, but just don't quite have the budget so far. I've managed to collect both a Linnstrument and an Osmose along the way though, so I'm happy enough - especially now Expressive E have brought out Noisy 2. But yeah, Continuum must be the ultimate in expressivity.

[@thundersnow819]

ive been self learning keys after many years of self learning guitar, these videos really help untie the knots

[@brujua7]

AMAZING, thanks, great jam, so expressive. Thanks a lot Anthony, Josh and all the team!

[@pongtrometer]

This really is a “ SHE’S ALIVE “ moment. Gr8 stuff.

[@ischmidt]

This is a really cool expansion of what can be done with synths. After a few decades of attempts to reinvent synth controllers it turns out the most intuitive way to get a lot of expression is a regular piano keyboard with a few extra tricks. And I love the "only Anthony could pull this off" of having 4 2600s and a Moog modular being controlled by cutting edge tech.

[@discombob93]

[@johnnybegood2693]

Great stuff! Exciting to see you pushing the boundaries of both the possibilities of expression playing a keyboard and incorporating the analog world to new ways of playing experiences at the same time bringing the analog synthesis to a whole new level of musical and tactile expression and freeing it from pure sequencer slavery back in the hands of a soulful musician.. great times ahead!

Amazing. I feel you have opened a universe of posibilites. Sound is spectacular. I am going to try and emulate your iedea. Thank you!!

[@galaxiesmerge_original]

This is a SUPER amazing episode😊

[@unclemick-synths]

I use my Roland AE-30 Aerophone Pro wind synth to control my analogue synths. It can send pitch, pitchbend, breath, elevation, tilt, and has a pressure sensitive thumb pad. I can configure those to send whichever MIDI CCs I like. I also have a CC to CV converter for semi/modular synths.

[@flowmaka]

Awesome video! So much control without the joystick and modulation wheel! Frees up so much for live playing and interaction!

[@designguy65]

Definitely getting a CS-80 vibe to the sounds which is always a good thing. Really expanding the possibilities of older analog gear.

[@paulgb53]

Thank you Anthony, you’re such a good pedagogue !!

[@brooksradtke4047]

This is such an excellent video - thank you! I had the chance to play around on the Osmose recently, and it was my first time experiencing MPE. I'm curious how the Roli Seaboards compare to the sound and feeling of the Osmose or Continuum. Has anyone had a chance to compare them?

[@drsamurai009]

I've done the five voice setup with Behringer modules and a seaboard in Multi-Mode. I didn't have control over individual filters with CV though, I only did voice/patch triggering without velocity or AT like an old fashioned mono synth, sort of my 5 voice BEM system. That CVC from Haken looks like something I may have to get so I can use my Osmose and ROLI to have more expressive MPE control. VERY COOL guys!!!!

[@eaganmatrixprogramming]

Great to see this come together. Kudos - Anthony and Josh! Love the detailed discussion of how the patches were set up. There's nothing quite like a CVC paired with Osmose and Continuum for modular control.

[@johnnyrenfield]

My Hydrasynth explorer has a nice intro feel to it, what you're playing sounds epic 🤘💀🍻🔥

[@YotamPiano]

Great review Anthony and a very exciting instrument indeed, finally have we ascended from a piano! I've been following your channel and your analysis of synths, sounds and gear. Best regards

Nicely done! The mpe to cvc converter is next level for bringing modern expression to vintage synths. Funny that this comes a day after Artuira’s Polybrute 12, bring more voices and even more expressions into the analog realm

[@jaimeross7507]

This was Awesome T!!!!!

[@AdamRobertshaw]

The Osmose really is a game changer, got mine on release and I rarely touch other synths now! With my JD-XA, Synthstrom Deluge, and Osmose I think I have everything covered! Such a fantastic synth, the expression is best described as allowing keyboardists to express more akin to a guitarist. Takes a while to learn to play clean as it is very easy to pitch bend, but it also makes it sound more "authentic" as an instrument with its slightly off pitch control.

[@MB-kx5qs]

Fantastisch! Ich will das Continuum unbedingt haben! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Zaccyonline]

I love when the development of new technology breathes life into old gear. ⚡️ Another brilliant video Anthony & co.! Thanks ❤

Thank you so much for tons of inspiration! Josh is a great player and also a good teacher; I‘d like him to appear in many more of your videos. I don‘t have any of your gear except one single BARP-2600, however some other mono and many poly synths - and an idea to achieve a similar result without CV/gate, CVC, patch cables, and an Osmose … :)

[@MSynth-e1m]

That was great that Anthony 👍👌

[@fleetingsound]

I’ve always wanted a continuum but the Roli Seasboard Rise (the original, not the new iteration) was my first experience with MPE years ago and it’s been a wonderful journey of expression. Happy to see it expand out to new tech

[@christoroppolo8742]

This brought out the Tron like tones that Carlos attained occasionally in that score🙏👽✌️

[@moogfooger]

This was nice Anthony. Great that you went into some technical details along with the music demos. Looking forward to Rob Rosens take on all this. Cheers

[@MakerFarmNL]

Now you really went over the top!! 3 Osmoses and a Continuum controlling your analog gear, that is far from modest 🙂This is a beautiful experiment and a very nice setup!! Now in part 2 of this video ;-), it would be interesting to examine "how much of these analog sounds" the Osmose would actually be capable of doing on its own.. fully digitally... I think the Haken Audio sound generation (with its Eagan Matrix) is one of the very few digital synths that is able to come close to this hugely interesting setup! IMO This MPE experiment really is at the forefront of expression (being analog or digital)! Thanx for this video!!

[@johnhurd3257]

The osmose and continuum have sounds that are similar to what this big setup is generating imo. The best message from this vid is how the osmose or the continuum can bring new life to almost any synth. Even the ones that don't have cvc inputs. The osmose is a deep midi/mpe controller as well as a great synth on It's own.:)

[@Hyperslob]

[@edda673]

Hi Anthony (and Josh!) , what a fantastic inspiring demo lecture video!! This application of the Osmose is such a gamechanger!! It indeed opens up direct parallel parameter control in such an intuitive way!! Would like to suggest connecting 4 channels to the individual voices of the Oberheim 4-voice! It will bring you very close to heaven, guarantied! 🙂 Concerning patching to the ARP 2600's I was surprised to see you using the multiple to split out pitch CV to all 3 VCO's. That could be a choice for educational purpose of course, but you do know that the keyb cv output jack on the left is also a CV input for all 3 VCO's and the VCF right! ? It's not clear from the panel jacks description, but it works! 🙂 saves you the multiple and wires 🙂 Thanks thanks thanks!!!

[@RaquelFoster]

LOL @ three Osmoses & a Continuum! I was rolling my eyes at another Osmose video. Every synth channel said the Osmose was awesome a year ago, and none of them are still using it. I don't need to hear the built-in engine of the Osmose again. But I'm a LOT more interested when he said he's got it hooked into four ARPs! Maybe if Anthony keeps making cool videos like this then manufacturers will say "Hey we should make MPE synths that can do that kind of modulation! And master keyboards with MPE!" Because nobody currently cares about MPE. The Roli has been around forever. And there's the Linnstrument - I've never seen anybody use one except when Roger Linn demos the thing. I've seen people tour with Continuums but haven't seen them on YT synth channels before. I just know they're expensive and who knows what you do if it breaks. I know a guy who loved his Roli but it kept breaking and he had to keep sending it to the UK.
