It was about time!

[@edwardfletcher7790]

DAMN Dude ! You can play anything ! Your Theramin skills are on point 👍 Salutations from South Australia !

[@MiniKoolAid]

Dude the Yellow Synth is monumental, A truly revolutionary synth of our time, it was used by so many artists as well as too many movies to count, super happy you mentioned it, great vid Claudio!

[@Doctormix]

Thanks man!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Icebaer66]

I wish you could make a whole video just about the yellow synthesizer 🎹🟡

[@RoyChartier]

Are you referring to the Fairlight?

[@MreenalMams]

Is there any free vst emulation of the yellow synthesizer..?

[@A-Known-Enemy]

@@RoyChartier no, the yellow one!

[@Kickelspoon]

Lets give Steinberg some credit for creating VST in late 90s which was a huge gamechanger

[@imaginarytube]

For sure!

[@bryantwalley]

Yep.

[@davidegiovannidisanto987]

La tecnologia VST virtual studio technology introdotta nel 1996 e i suoi plug-in sono molto buoni come pro tools che a la tecnologia TDM per i home studio recording professionali e Logic Pro e tecnologia Apple e il sistema plug-in au audio unit

[@chayalexanderwright]

Straight up! I was just talking to a young engineer about that, this morning.

[@avace917]

Indeed. Without it, many of the sounds I use wouldn't be accessible

[@antonhosinsky3090]

Fun anecdote: when recording was entirely mechanical, the only way to balance the sound was by adjusting the distance between the players and the sound capture cone. When Louis Armstrong recorded, his sound was so overhelming so he was rotinely send out from the room altogether so that his trumpet would not overpower everything else! I´d like to add a couple of things. Multitrack recorders were important for the development of music but the real kicker was the cassete portastudio, this was really the first step towards the democratizing of music. In the footsteps of MIDI came cheap (or at least affordable) digital reverbs, and this would mark THE difference between a cheap homemade sound and a much more pro-sounding studio quality recording. Finally, for me personally, the most important advance ever in modern music has been the VST format. You mention briefly the plugins in relationship to the DAW but I think it deserves far more attention. Thanks to this you can now have all and every component you need in a studio. The real amazing thing is that Steinberg, who invented the format, had the good taste to make it open source so that anyone can develop VST plugins, instead of keeping it a propietary format of their own. Many of these are completely free to download, so basically, just by investing in a decent computer and an audio interface, you can have a very complete studio in your home. That was simply pure science-fiction until just a few years ago.

[@MikeS-1969]

The introduction of the Yellow Synth was something that I had never thought it had such a great impact in music industry! Well spotted! Thanks for pointing this out! Loved it!

[@pewexxx]

I haven't realize how essential for music production world was the Yellow Synthesizer until this video... Thank you Claudio!

[@Doctormix]

Right? That's what I always said!

[@hastypete2]

I'm seeing alot of comments on "yellow synth..". Can you guide me to where to look in the video?

[@pewexxx]

@@hastypete2 Oh man ... You have to watch the video really carefully

[@jeremyboyce7921]

The yellow synth surprised me. I guess I hadn’t realized it’s prevalence and pervasive use until now. Definitely cool, Claudio.

[@effepia]

I'd heard about the Yellow Synthesizer but I never thought it had been so revolutionary!!! Thanks for sharing its awesome history with us!

[@shopblogger]

The unnamed Synth with the yellow case is just WOW!!!

[@Doctormix]

Right!? I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E !!!!

[@boeshanepeninsula8338]

That yellow synth sounded phenomenal. Can't believe how rare it is!

[@klisher]

The yellow synthesiser is really cool, used to have a run down one that would only work in thunderstorms . 👍👍👍💛💛

[@mouldypretzel]

Only with GPU audio can you get a sound as good as the yellow synth. Seriously, that thing sounds amazing

[@samantoniak1657]

I love the yellow synthesizer, I remember my music teacher having one.

[@wizdude]

Awesome video. You really captured the revolutionary changes in music. My absolute favourite, however, was the Yellow Synth.A total gamechanger! I can't imagine how music today would have sounded without it!

[@scottweiner9082]

I actually made a Theramin for my high school physics project. But I wish I had thought about the yellow synthesizer. That's a whole other level!

[@joekelly7505]

I did my PhD thesis on inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detraction vis-a-vis the syncronization of cardinal graham meters (all part of then advanced retro-encabulation science). As a main signal generator, we used a bank of Yellow Synthesizers tied together with our own custom GPIB implementation (this was decades before MIDI was even a thing). The hard part was keeping the phase distortion gating on the Yellows from drifting through the 150 dB hum range, so I had 15 RA's standing by with very tiny hex screwdrivers, and I would conduct them like an orchestra trying to keep the damned things in tune. Thanks Claudio for this trip down memory lane!

[@cestmoi2681]

Me too!

[@tychobra1]

Great video. Thanks for also mentioning the yellow synthesizer. This thing was a fundamental break through. I'm glad you've mentioned it.

[@DetectiveThursday]

Really loved the part with the yellow synthesizer. I've asked Arturia if they are putting one of those in their next version of V Collection. kind of disappointed they didn't but I'm still gonna keep emailing them about it!

[@RaveTracks]

GPU AUDIO looks like the future!

[@fernandosantos3576]

Being a tech guy with many years in industry, I still feel amazed with the pace that technology leaps forward. Thank you, Claudio, for bringing to us such wonderful knowledge.

[@JaviBello]

That yellow synth was AMAZING!

[@user-tx2qs6jo3y]

That yellow synth you pulled out was insane. Seriously what was that thing??? I need that NOW!

[@abrakadeep8810]

I can’t really put into words what the Yellow Synthesizer did to me… It’s a beauty. It’s a passion igniting dream machine !

[@cecilia5740]

Love your energy dude. Found your channel because I was looking up a Nord electro 2 as was considering getting one second hand, now I’m just here for your vibe and music.

[@Colaholiker]

I can't believe I have been able to survive on this planet without ever hearing of the Yellow Synthesizer before. That explains sooooo much, so many songs where I wondered how they were done. Now I know! Grazie Mille! (I hope I am right that you were born in Italy?)

[@SephirothEGS]

Love that Yellow Synth. Easily in my top 3 along with the DX-7 and Jupiter 8.

[@soundguydon]

Yellow synth is the best thing I've seen in a long time! Utterly revolutionary !!!

[@GS-uy4xo]

Love your channel!! Always more than expected!

[@nogueiradie]

Wow! The yellow synthesizer is really the GOAT! I have one with me for so long. Nice to see it here.

[@Wolfbabypuppylove]

Gotta be completely honest that yellow synth totally blew me away with it's invisible oscillator how revolutionary another great vid doc.

[@Chemicaldiver]

The yellow synth is legendary!! Really great.

[@pastaway3620]

Spectacular! Too Nice Doctor: It's always a pleasure to watch the Doctor mix video🎶🎵🎧🎧🎹

[@bloemundude]

I immediately went out and bought that yellow synth. It has changed my life forever!! Julliard and Berklee can eat their hearts out. I just shift the yellow synth into "mode 42" and let the magic flow.

[@rpa2001]

Great video! Also very refreshing to see the yellow synthesizer, as legendary as it may be its largely forgotten! What an iconic sound!

[@timburdsey]

Really loving your work, Dr Mix. I would love to bump into you one day to thank you for all the work you put into your channel, for your enthusiasm for music, for synths, and for life!

[@oxivanisher]

Ah man! The yellow synthesizer was just such a great invention... Always think yellow!

[@rickygallodoc]

The yellow synth was awesome, something really revolutionary

[@TecladistadoYoutubeRivaLima]

Honestly, there were great developments! After the DAW, things really stagnated... using the graphics card's GPU for audio processing is like rediscovering the wheel! I'm going to use it a lot in my videos about oldschool synths! Thanks for the video

[@prettypointlessvideo]

No, question. the yellow synthesizer should be top of the list for all videos like this. Thanks Claudio-

[@docroxchannel]

Greeat Claudio.. Happy Easter !!

[@michaelcarlos2064]

Thanks for including the Fairlight CMI in this excellent history! I developed some of the CMI software and really appreciate the recognition!

[@jakobole]

What computer did you use to develop on?

[@brianbergmusic5288]

That was a revolution. It is difficult for me to imagine the coding-spaghetti of the late 70s since the lowest level language I've ever used was "C".

[@a.l.recordingstudio1163]

Brilliant explained in a compact form -- thank you for that!

[@patrikkonat3085]

I just recently started learning to play instruments and got my first synth. Doctor Mix your one of my favorite youtube channels regarding music. So good energy and knowledge, so fun! Thank you :)

[@JeffyG]

Well done! 👍 so many producers just take our digital technology for granted, but your top 5 is so important to the evolution of music.

[@dykodesigns]

That GPU based design looks interesting. It’s like a DSP system but for everyone. A few years ago both Nvdia and Ati where developing things like Cuda to use GPU’s for broader ranges of applications. GPU’s are very good at specific math problems running in parallel. In the past DSP’s where sometimes also used for graphics processing.

[@ckatheman]

I am surprised this was not attempted a lot earlier, cuda core tech has been around quite a while.

[@rmxbaal]

@@GPUAUDIO i very like the idea its a real gamechanger Keep the good work up!

[@ckatheman]

@@GPUAUDIO The way I am thinking, and I hope I am right, is this will rejuvenate older systems. I’m still using a somewhat adequate 2017 era laptop, but it has a 970m nvidia chip in it…. Hmmm….

[@jwright2995]

@@GPUAUDIO Keep up the good work GPU Audio. Please do let me use my crypto farms for something more creative and fun! Also will you license out your stacks to other 3rd party developers to create some momentum or do you plan to hold the tech to gain a bit of a foothold 1st? Not judging either way, just super happy that you've made the leap everyone was wondering about! Good Luck!

[@giuseppegianquitto]

To be honest, I struggle to see anything more significant than the Yellow Synth contribution, I'm glad it came up!

[@robfriedrich2822]

Multitrack came in the 1960's, first used to record instruments and vocals in different sessions. First 3 or 4 track, later 8 and in the 1970's came 16 to 24 track, using 2" tape.

[@adic9091]

The Hammond Novachord was the first commercial polyphonic synthesizer in 1939. The Oberhiem OBX was a later model, the SEM based Four-Voice and Eight-Voicr preceded the OB series.

Great video. But I gotta love the yellow synthesizer! Really great!

[@HarrySinanian]

Love your work doc, the switch became a relay, became the valve, became the chip. The gap between the Theremin and MIDI was the creation of ADC/DAC which digitized the waveform into values. Of all the technologies that changed the scope of music, one has to include compression. Originally developed by IBM in the 60s, and PKware who brought the tech to all our desktops... Love your work, never enough slots, always!
