VINTAGE SYNTHESIZER MUSEUM STUDIO TOUR

[@csaw49er41]

I was just there yesterday myself - and indeed this is an amazing place and experience !~ A national treasure .. you will be blown away and overwhelmed. Most importantly - you will be inspired.

[@chrisstrobel3439]

Sweet room/s! I had 90% of those synths at one point or another over the past 37 years, this brings back a lot of memories .. thanks 👍

[@onceuponasynth]

Damn, that must have been a dream.

[@chrisstrobel3439]

once upon a synth Well the dream back in the day was the Fairlight or Synclavier II, and now I have a Fairlight on my phone lol 😁 Yeah I could kick myself for selling/giving away all those old synths, but at the time/s it kinda felt good to be rid of all the old analog technology and embracing the new affordable digital technology lol 😁

[@r5t6y12]

3:44...........who makes the phase shifter with the blue yellow and red switches? I SAW one of those once way back in 1988 but didn't have the money to buy it.

[@galactagog]

wow that was pretty incredible I could spend years in that room, and just order food & beer thx for posting!

[@onceuponasynth]

lol yeah for sure man.

[@yosefalfredo7076]

Dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream all the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last months :)

[@kelvinjameson3764]

@Yosef Alfredo Yea, have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :D

[@thespacekyd]

Bro this is right down my street how did I not know it existed thank you I will be spending plenty of time here

[@rockstarjazzcat]

Cool. Thanks for taking us along!

[@RANDOMLOOPGENERATOR]

Wow, what a treat! I could die a happy man in that place!

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

I have to agree with you on the CS-70M. I understand why you like it. It really is intuitive and it sounds great. I would love to own one. It's rare but attainable. I just need a windfall

[@shookstylez]

your channel rocks. very well documented synthesizer videos, love it. keep it up!

[@matthewstein1110]

Lance is such a kool dude, I’ve been there 3 times and it’s been awesome every time!

[@marcbrasse747]

Congratulations with recognizing that he CS70M is a great synth. It has been overshadowed by .... (you know it) but when looked at for what it is itself it's very, very underrated.

[@jeanbonnefoy1377]

the Russian one is an Aelita and the EMS is a Synthi A. The AKS being the version with a Keyboard plus Sequencer...

[@onceuponasynth]

oh cool I didn't know that's what K and S stood for, thanks for the info.

[@liamobrien5738]

Gear,,,would like to visit some synth shops the next time i visit NEW YORK...and Philadelphia.

[@patrickgallagher1161]

Hey I live right down the block! Oakland native and keyboard fanatic. I gotta go here NOW!!!

[@onceuponasynth]

Nice, yeah you should definitely take advantage!

[@patrickgallagher1161]

once upon a synth definitely! great video!

[@longislandrelicrecoveries6643]

Ahhhh... The Crumar Spirit.... Amazing synth...Totally underated

[@onceuponasynth]

I wish I had more time to try that one out, I sort of dismissed it in the presence of the PS-3100 and Synthacon, but I'll have it give it a shot if I ever go back.

[@longislandrelicrecoveries6643]

Designed by Bob Moog... Yes, if you ever get the chance, I'd love to see it. I have one I bought in a pawn shop for $100 back in the late 80's. Its just breathtaking

[@SiliconBassist]

The Universal Synthesizer System is an guitar synth that Tom Oberheim designed. That Maestro phase shifter is also an Oberheim design, if I'm not mistaken.

[@onceuponasynth]

Oh neat, I didn't know that. Thanks.

[@christoroppolo8742]

The cat synth! The gleeman clear! 3100! Wow! Peace Christo👽🐕🎶😀

[@jeroenfigee]

I am gonna take the plane now !!! What a great museum. We have got something small Here too in the netherlands when you come into our musicshop In rotterdam, but thats peanuts compared to this! Think of all the music you can make there :-) Learned stuff from this video.

[@kitchentable1362]

I will rent it out for the rest of my life

[@christopher9000p]

Nice! I have that exact same Furman patchbay in my rack!

[@rydoggjunit]

dam I wish i knew about this place when I was in San Francsico

[@jackcimino8822]

I can't wait to go today! It's probably my only chance to see my dream synths: DK Synergy, Rhodes Chroma, and Korg PS-3100. Don't forget to check my underrated synths playlist.

[@onceuponasynth]

Have fun! If you have limited time I recommend starting in the back room which has most of the rare synths. I spent too much time in the front room and then rushed in the back so I wish I had started in the back first.

[@Coolarj10]

Thanks for the great video!

[@Dino0469]

The Russian synth is the Aelita. It's basically their Minimoog or one of them but the Aelita is a great sounding synth. Built like a tank too! I had one and wish I hadn't sold it. If you find one in great condition buy it-you won't be disappointed in the sound at all. I've owned Moogs and still have my Minimoog and I can tell you the Aelita sounded nearly as good-almost identical. And it does a few little cool things the Mini doesn't. The Crumar Spirit is another good sounding synth too that Bob had a hand in also..

[@onceuponasynth]

awesome, thanks for the info. I'll be keeping an open eye on ebay for one of these. I imagine they're probably quite rare in north america.

[@synthartist69]

Very nice, I am surprised they do not have all the JX series, Juno series, Korg Polysix, Poly 61, DW8000, DX series, minimoog, moog prodigy, prophet 600, etc.

[@InfiniteElectrophone]

they have a model d. not sure the dw8000 is in the same league.

[@DoctorJezz]

Really enjoyed that - may have to go and check that place out when I ever go back - thanks! Just FYI CS80 has weighted keys - famous for it, but would really love to try a T8 sometime.

[@onceuponasynth]

Oh is that right? That's awesome. I knew it was known for its aftertouch but I didn't know the keys were weighted, that's pretty neat.

[@Emiel1983Schoonoord]

The (ARP) Rhodes Chroma also has weighted keys and polyphonic aftertouch, just like the CS-80.. Just got mine last week :)

[@onceuponasynth]

Emiel Hadderingh oh cool, I should have probably played it while I was there.. ah well maybe next time,

[@mrduul755]

amazing man...

[@delta-9969]

Always wanted to try that Korg Monopoly.

[@analogsynthmuseum784]

synergy used by wendy carlos for Tron soundtrack !

[@GubaKornel]

Wow! This could be the Heaven :) Amazing

[@CuriouslyHilarious]

Love ur vids! This is off-topic but I'd love to see some content/know your thoughts on the new Novation Peak

[@onceuponasynth]

You're the second person to ask about the Peaks. I might have to pick one up one day. Eurorack has been eating my wallet lol. If I ever get a peaks I'll be sure to make vids on it.

[@PureAmbientDrone]

You need to give out bibs for the drool this vid causes HA HA great stuff!

[@onceuponasynth]

lol! I know that room is like GAS central.

[@r5t6y12]

A Gleeman Pentatonic CLEAR. This may be the only image of one that I've seen outside of that red Vintage Keyboard book that Mark Vail put out in the 1990s.

[@Madison-ut6bz]

i thought you were showing us Your studio lol I was like WOW

[@onceuponasynth]

lol I wish

[@kristinasterling2825]

Awesome! I used to work just 2 blocks from this place, but never knew about it! It must be newish. I'm going to go check it out! Thanks!

[@buckdownscanada9946]

Curious what they are all hooked up to for monitoring ?

[@temporoboto]

TIGHT!

[@vintagesynth8082]

i spotted the MKS-80 Super Jupiter :)

[@onceuponasynth]

good eye :)

[@mrduul755]

holy. fucking. shit. OMG, the dream. !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jenumclucas7014]

I was gonna say this collection was incomplete without a DX7 but then I saw it hangin out over there in the corner at 5:43 lol

[@KoolteethDeBlog]

Nice

[@planetfh]

If I had the money and the time, I'd haul my ass over to Oakland in a flash!

[@peter160266]

A gleeman pentaphonic wooow

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

what about getting the latest OXYGEN V album.

[@Syncopator]

I don't suppose they have an original RCA theremin?

[@edpalmeida]

What's the name of the track it plays on the background? Would love to know!! Thanks!!

[@onceuponasynth]

I didn't give it a name yet, I just wrote it the other night specifically for the video. I might turn it into a complete song one day. I'm sort of working on a new album part time but work and KZbin take priority (for now).

[@Emiel1983Schoonoord]

I love the leadsound! Where is it coming from?

[@edpalmeida]

Guess the studio really inspired you. Looking forward for the final result. Thanks for the video! :)

[@edpalmeida]

@@onceuponasynth Still waiting for that song. Have you released it yet? That sound is so sweet!

[@BobIGomez]

synclavier seems to have escaped some how

[@angelpablocostello9971]

The russian synth is a Aelita.

[@aurorasphere]

5:10 aelita synthesizer?

[@System-1541]

The Russian synth is the Altavox Aelita, it was an attempt at a minimoog clone. Here's a whole EP a guy did using only that synth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqHHaJ2GfLGVeas

[@linuslauterbach2975]

How much is it to rent that place out?

[@Botdu84]

Holyfuck A synthacon.

[@onceuponasynth]

Holyfuck indeed.

[@XPJV]

Russian synth аэлита - AELITA electronic synthesizer

[@marcusherbold993]

Never knew that Moog made an EQ

[@ArnieRodriguez]

Nice channel! Let's collab for a jam!

[@earthman_]

Fuck. It must be saved as Fort Knox.

[@lancegoerner1719]

I have called, and sent email to these guys. They NEVER get back to you!

[@dingbatjack1234]

It’s not Monopoly like the game lol. It’s mono-poly

[@mrduul755]

At 5:39 what synth is that with the tubes?

[@onceuponasynth]

Tubes? Do you mean that transparent synth? That's a Gleeman Pentaphonic, those are just clear knobs. I believe the only tube synth in that room is the metasonix which was on the desk.

[@perlmunger]

Nobody puts DX7 in a corner!

[@VintageSynthesizerMuseum]

We do.

[@agoushy74]

I agree!! I’m a 14 yr old and I have a Roland super Jx-10 and a dx7

[@studiomyvsttvik4586]

Мама родная, и всё в рабочем состоянии.Мне бы хоть один moog любой,а то у меня в Донецке русские террористы дом ограбили и забрали в рашку синт nord 2😖

[@mortarmopp3919]

Just a clasrification: The Korg MonoPoly is pronounced "mono poly" not "monopoly".

[@HatredPrime]

Lol, synth museum... Some gearslutz members have collection twice as big or even more.

[@NeilWall]

@HatredPrime True - but the beauty of this is that it's available to everyone. MESS in Melbourne is similar, and offers opportunities to me that I'd never be able to afford if I had to acquire the collection myself. A mate of mine with a quite impressive synth collection loves visiting MESS despite his own opportunities. It's great opportunity to learn and have people on hand bringing valuable advice and skills to the experience.

[@phantommagnolia]

Well they are big museums then

[@nypolegrand6718]

C'est bien mais on ne comprend pas ce qu'il dit la moitié du temps, on dirait qu'il parle pour lui même et puis la caméra passe tellement vite...
