Well said! Same here. I lived in that wonderful world with you, and we are bonded even though we didn't know each other. Here's to simpler times.

[@AlexBallMusic]

It's back!!

21:18 Canada's location "right above America." Love the wording!

[@THREEo3]

When benge talks you listen, l love benge man's a genius

[@BGTsoundandvision]

This is my favourite show.

[@alexhogon]

Excellent film

[@tomvomton2371]

You can tell it´s the future, because every line of code fit the screen perfectly. Very satisfying... as an official member of the canadian synthesizer association i said thank you and god bless the king

20:49 In South Park, the Canadian modular synth would have square knobs.

[@davebellamy4867]

21:00 It's strange but there's kind of an SEM ish feel to that wonderful tone, even though it's an 18dB ladder filter. Maybe it's the different starting waveforms.

[@nickhaisch4277]

for a synth nerd like myself, this is one of the absolute best things on the internet. WELL DONE!

[@memetunestudio]

Wooo thanks Nick!

YES

[@memetunestudio]

Thats a really good idea...

[@DivKid]

Great to see a new series of this. Loved the chaotic Serge behaviour and beautiful sound of the Modcan.

[@memetunestudio]

Thanks DivKid 👍

[@WeirdBlinkingLights]

i love these episodes of In Search Of Dr Headroom

[@blush_response]

very excited for more little black boxes

[@samecoff2788]

Excellent video! Thanks for spotlighting the Modcan A. I still have mine and love it. One tiny correction: IIRC, the Zeroscillators were originally developed in Modcan A format and were later ported to other formats. Regardless, they’re brilliant. I bought three, knowing that the price was going to increase and figured I’d sell one, but I ended up loving them so much that I kept all three!

[@memetunestudio]

Aha! very good! - I didn't know the Zerosc was an original A-Series design. It's a superb and very unique VCO. One of the strengths of the A-Series is its interesting VCOs

[@JohnLRice]

Wonderfully informative and creative video!!!! 👏🥰👍

Awesome 👏 👏👏thank you very very much

[@FailedMuso]

KZbin just got good again! Thanks so much for this 🙂And the TG77 feature made my day!

[@memetunestudio]

Such an amazing synth! Love the early 90!

[@FailedMuso]

@@memetunestudio I’m looking out for an SY99 at a decent price 🙂

[@memetunestudio]

@@FailedMuso Yes, they look great - big though!

[@FailedMuso]

@@memetunestudio Yup, that’s my only reservation

[@philippepetit8147]

Yippee! I could listen to that "Cyber EMU vs. Serge patch" for hours...

[@davebellamy4867]

20:45 Gorgeous tones in that segment!❤👍👍👍

[@smartti1970]

oh my favourit synth program on Tv ..........fantastic as always musicaly and visualy and fun....

[@davebellamy4867]

Amazing how a great synth often sounds just like an acoustic instrument with instantly variable size!

[@NTRSN-Archive]

Dennis Leigh (Foxx) told in a interview Benge is the new Conny Plank .

[@lucidview12]

THis is an amazing series. Thank you

[@ghostexits]

Vaporwave Solaris meets Idaho Transfer. Excellent.

[@memetunestudio]

OMG never seen it but just watched the trailer ❤

[@ghostexits]

@@memetunestudio you’re in for a treat then. It’s very well done, convincing sci-fi world with few or no special effects.

[@SRDhain]

Enjoyed this. Good to see the system 100, sh5 , jp4, and mc4(a or b) in action. Itis a lovely, timely reminder that my full system 100 set needs firing up a bit more. The video has a warm, retro-futurist feel, with greatl sonics to match. 👍

[@memetunestudio]

Yes - if you've got a full system 100 you must play it every day! BTW, my Jupiter 4 is the 'a'

[@SRDhain]

​@zackdagoba Absolutely. It takes time to get the best out of it, but it's an inspirational instrument which encourages you to lose yourself in it.

[@seb17320]

Exciting as usual, and the mini series at the end is brilliant! besides, I had underestimated the features of the Polyfusion sequencer ;-)😁

[@memetunestudio]

😂 well spotted!

[@AndyVonal]

These are just brill! really glad you are still doing them!

[@TheDavidPoole]

Hey Benge, I love your 1970s, Open University \ How \ Tomorrows World style of presentation, I just don't believe that you're old enough to remember it yourself 🤜 Please keep up the informal, yet informative, good work!

[@memetunestudio]

Yep - grew up on Tomorrows World, Rockschool and Blakes 7!

[@TheDavidPoole]

@@memetunestudio funny enough I was just skimming through some Blakes 7 on KZbin the other day and I'd forgotten how good some of the writing was. I'm going to have to get a box set and binge it! Do you remember the episode of Rockschool where they used Depeche Modes "A Question Of Time" to demonstrate MIDI? I thought it was so cool at the time that this sort of stuff was finally getting on the telly. What you are doing now is exactly how I imagined at the time it ought to be done. Thanks for realizing what was in my own head for all those years!

[@intotheluminiferousaether]

Fantastic program! Really enjoyed the whole palette of information and unfaltering presentation. Style and substance beyond measure. Loved it! Hyper-scanning for more!

[@mylarmelodies]

[@analogmemory313]

This is getting better with every new episode. You are really upping your game with the video editing and compositing. Not to mention the quality of the music, patching and general educating. Amazing job, this is my favorite so far, the short movie is outstanding. Hats off Mr Edwards

[@memetunestudio]

Thanks AM7! 🎩

[@toitoitoy]

Great work, Ben, I see what you had to go through making this episode. You had to clone yourself for some scenes and take some LSD for dimensional travel and even do some photogrammary. Lovely series. Thank you for amazing 70-80 stylization which we all adore.

[@memetunestudio]

Thank you toitoitoy

[@smartti1970]

if Tg77 was out now i would be delighted to hear and buy these new wonder sounds of the new black box ! the Roland 70's (sorry again) lovely music.... video editing of 4-5 Benges on the Serge add magic to this paralel univers.... i was not so much into Serge as the patch was growing until sundenly it all made sens when the Emu got into play .... that bucket brigade panasonic is lovely.... todays patch's fascinating on this incredible frankenstein canadian Modcan ! .. i then fell into dreaming in the univers of the movie with those sounds and music ... it draws imagination out of you , very inspiring , have no idea how you do this retro futuristic graphic video... congrats on this huge creativity work ! loved it ...

Thanks Smartti

Beautiful patch on the Modcan, such a treat to get a proper look at this synth. Great work sir 👏🏻

[@monodux]

This is seriously the most wonderful video ever. Subscribed! Thank you!!

[@monodux]

I have to say more. In addition to being interesting and educational, this lives up to the full creative and psychedelic potential of the original Dr. Who series. I LOVE THIS!!!

Superb work, sir.

Thanks Paul

[@Auxar]

Finally the new season, a great episode it is. 😃

[@ModLifeCrisis]

Lovely stuff! When I have a chance I’m going to try and recreate your Modcanpatch on my little Eurorack collection. I don’t suppose it will sound the same but it will be a fun experiment. Very much looking forward to episode 2. Thank you so much for making these programmes. I’m really enjoying them. I could see you on the Open University in the early 1970s. It would have achieved cult status by now…:)

[@memetunestudio]

Thanks MLC!

[@SharpblueCreative]

That was absolutely excellent. The Roland track was fantastic. Loved the short movie too. Recognised a fair few of those sound effects from old tv shows and sci-fi movies. Looking forward to the next one.

[@memetunestudio]

Well spotted😁

[@pawnotdaw4559]

Welcome back!I’m gonna have to rewatch the original series now. Love the attention to hiss also. Great viewing

[@memetunestudio]

You noticed! 😁

[@davidryle]

Worth the wait. You have out performed even yourself. The effort to make this is evident in the richness of the content. Every segment is tantalizing. Your Monitor theme works perfect. Each segment is divided discretely. It is difficult to say which segment I liked the best. A nod to the detail you infused in each part. The sci-fi episode was truly a work of art. The attention to the foley sounds worked perfectly. The color choices supported the story line in a strong way. I was transported to a visceral place and time. The Modcan A is truly a one of a kind. Thank you for sharing the equipment and thought process. Cyndustries deserves respect as does Bruce Duncan. Thank you , thank you , thank you Ben!!

[@memetunestudio]

Thankyou David!

[@jamdim1009]

yeah little black boxes !! Very excited about your exploration of them ! Will it goes up to the Cheetah MS800 ? 😜

[@memetunestudio]

Ooh, not sure yet! I'll bear that in mind though

[@matthewgantt8283]

@memetunestudio wowow- this was incredible from every vector - thank you! Was especially great seeing the cybernetics/cybersynth section - had a blast patching along in VCV rack. Was wondering, have you ever done a full video just on cybernetic patching approaches, or is there any other information on the patch you've created here that you've put out? Would be thrilled to check out if so!

[@memetunestudio]

Thanks MG - The next series of programmes will feature fully cybernetic generative patches - so keep watching!!😁

[@matthewgantt8283]

@@memetunestudio incredible - thx!

[@ReubenSound]

Great jam on the Rolands, but those 90s digital synths sometimes take me to an even more interesting place than analogue synths. Quite moving patches on the TG77. PS. Please let us know the laboratory results in part 2!

[@issiewizzie]

It's clear to me why analog synths died towards the mid 80s

[@memetunestudio]

Perhaps, but they've made a big comeback now!

[@issiewizzie]

@@memetunestudio yap..... t's fascinating! Back in the 80s as a kid, we were always excited about the future, especially when it came to electronics, music, and gadgets. The world of synthesis was all about exploring new possibilities, never looking back at the past. However, I can't help but wonder, what happened to that forward-thinking spirit?

[@Stazma]

Hell yeah! Glad you're back with this serie!
