This sucker is amazing! Forget all of the presets! Dive down into what it can really do! The Jupiter 4, Jupiter 6 and Jupiter 8 were all different and unique synths presented by Roland! They deserve to be put back on the market today!

[@espresso5512]

Can not disagree that synthesizer and all kinda stuffs similiar are best instruments ever! Eargasm is delivered from them. That's why I still live in 80s era eventhough I have never been in 80s

[@bandfromtheband9445]

The Italian Seil Expander 80 needs to re-attain it's place on the charts as one of the best analog synthesizers ever made! These Italian engineers knew what they were doing 100%!

[@twincamspit]

Sounds remind me of my Poly 800

[@Lhenndyn]

@@twincamspit it is an Italian copy of the ex800/poly800. Some good sounds, but far to be the best ever ;)

I think it’s a great demo of all the synths. You bring out their best points and keep that organic alive quality all the way. Great work 👍

[@jbooks888]

What bullshit - this is a terrible video with absolute shit sounds for every single synth.

[@davesmith6794]

Jason Basson - I had several of these boards, but yeah...the PPG was always a wishlist item. I had a friend who had one and it was just amazing. If you're a Rush fan, that board was all over the Signals and Grace Under Pressure albums.

[@ianpreece6391]

I found a PPG WAVE 2.2 dumped and forgotten in a derelict building in Lithuania a few years ago (now demolished). I went from being totally elated to utter misery within a few seconds after realising some clown had stripped all the inside circuit boards out.

I think musically many of these demos could have been better i.e follow the PPG's demo: nice tones chords etc on that one. But hey nothing compares to the PPG 2.3 !

[@arlobreezy]

Yesssss such good samples

[@gregmercil3968]

First, there was the Trautonium. Then came the Moog analogue synthesizer and then the Sinclavier. Then came all of these. 😀

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Brilliant demonstration. The only models shown here that have not yet appealed to me subjectively include the Electri-Harmonix, the Siegel (never heard of that model before), the Kawai, the E-Mu and the Casio. I’ve wanted all the rest at one time or another since 2000. Dig the use of the M1 at 13:25 to perform the Star Trek theme.

[@senorverde09]

The Casio CZ series basically used a form of FM synthesis (I think phase modulation) to get away from Yamaha's lawyers.

[@Blagotebi1]

Not much justice was given to SH101

[@adriaanlaurijsen]

I owned the Jupiter 6 because I hated the looks/colors of the JP8 and loved the colors and lay out of the JP6 ( I know the JP8 is a beast when it comes to performance, but I never "really" missed those 2 extra keys in any of my performances.

[@Magnus_Loov]

Ok, fun comparison, but I think the sounds chosen to show the different synths are bad shoices. They all had their "Trademark" sounds in which they excelled. I think particulary the Roland stuff is shown in a bad way. I mean the sounds for the SH-101 are just the lamest ones that can be done in any ofther synth. And no creamy strings or nice arpeggios from the Jupiter 8. No reverb filled good pads from the D.-50 and just some more lame sounds played on the Juno 106. By the way, I don't think it is vst-i;s. The Oscar is definitely not that. I own the imposcar and it sounds nothing like that with that bite that is heard in the video! So, for some of the synths it's a good display. Maybe it's just this? That is't kind of hard to gather sounds from all the hardware and instead rely on other sources on the net.. You would have to be a millionaire to own all the gear shown here these days I guess. I mean, I just saw in a music-store here in Sweden that a secondhand (well it have to be) Juno-106 went for 12000 kr (11995 was the asking price)! That's about $1400-$1500. 4 times the amount I sold mine for in 94! By the way, at differnt times (or some simultainousley) I owned the Roland Juno-106, the Korg DW-6000, The Korg Mony/Poly, the Casio CZ-5000 and still the Yammaha DX-7 (Which is just a conroller nowadays). Also owned Roland D-10, Korg Dss-1, Korg M3r, Bit 01, Korg Poly 800, Yamaha TG-33. The Korg Dss-1, the Juno-106 and to some degree the Korg Mono/Poly were the favorites!

[@housinauthority5258]

Magnus Lööv Make your own video then.

[@davesmith6794]

I agree. Poor choices to show what each synth was known for. I've been playing since the early 80's and I've had the good fortune to have owned several of these boards; the Jupiter 8, Roland Juno 6 (they show the 106, but I actually had the original 6 with no memory!), the Korg DW-8000 and the Roland D-50. They were all very distinctive instruments that were poorly represented here. Shame.

Why does everyone stick with the presets on the DX7? The real power comes from programming it.

[@theretrotechshed]

Possum Ridge Entertainment because it’s so difficult to program for most people!

[@possumridgeentertainment4614]

@@theretrotechshed Not really. You just have to study out the diagrams printed on the synth. Once you spend an afternoon playing around with the settings and get a feel for the different operator routings you'll get to a point where all you have to do is think of a sound and you'll be able to program it in just as fast as you can bring up each setting. If you can't then it's because what you're trying to do can't be done via FM synthesis.

Question: The music heard for each synth is randomly improvised? or is it some kind of internal "demo"? because I've been trying to track who wrote the music which is heard here with the E-MU Proteus photo, but I have heard the exact same tune in another video concerning the Synclavier..

[@callofdude16]

***** Even if it is passed through mp3 and "becomes digital," it's not generated by digital oscillators emulating virtual ones. That's like saying "an mp3 of an electric guitar amp cabinet is no different from a software electric guitar amp because they're both 'digital'!" Real analog oscillators sound different regardless of what format they are presented in, digital or otherwise.

[@sinlorenzo]

So funny.. 10 years ago,while emulation amp were less good than today,i pretend to had record a blues with my gibson,on old vintage amp and 4 track tape recorder, to a guy who claim that only analog stuff are good... and of course ,he believed me... I Laugh again..
