A secret ingredient for cEvin Key of "skinny puppy" I heard that maleko (I don't know if I spelled that right?)😅 is making a digital delay pedal modeled after the PCM-41 called "the choke" named after a famous skinny puppy song!💫😵💀👍👍
I read years ago that "it was just his voice", but there are some videos around now of him singing without the PCM-41 and, well, he sounded like Al Jourgensen from Ministry without his Eventide box of tricks, quite a normal sounding baritone.
@@deaddoll1361 they used it on the instruments too. Like putting a delay line on cEvin's multi moog and making a pseudo arpeggiator with the delay trails.
The whole idea of this video is not to show how amazing the Juno 60 is, but rather to show how a simple synth can be transformed by effects. You could take about any simple synth and get a similar result.
I searched for this model and up came this magazine interview with a top 80s producer Arthur Baker. The article is called Disciple Of The Beat and is in Music Technology September 1989 issue. Apparently he worked with New Order around 1982-84.
And he helped Afrika Bammbata produce Planet Rock. He was essential to the development of Electronic Dance Music. Listening to the Cylon Voice patch, i realised that it was used for the robotic vocals at the beginning of Planet Rock.
Great video Paulo. I'm lucky to have one of these in my arsenal. I bought mine about 12 years ago for $200 USD off of the original owner. I can't believe what they go for now.
Couple of questions, since yours looks to be in excellent condition, and i think mine may be a bit wonky. Does the feedback on your unit self oscillate? And when the Audio In level is all the way down, do you still get signal through it?
The effects of the 80s and some of the 90s were like a 10x10 room with hard floor, ceiling and walls, completely empty. Take that horrible room reverb room and envelope it out (extend it) for a hall reverb/delay. Effects today for the home studio are so much better, I would not call the 80s even effects, more like distortion of effects.
I’ve got a couple tape delays and an ehx memory man, and personally I prefer the older lexicon and eventides (late 70s and early 80s kit) for super fast delay / fake room sounds. Matter of preference I suppose!
Love that front panel layout, it instantly tells me what does what and what signal goes where.

@@maxmatson1578They used the PCM 41 on all the instruments and vocals told cEvin Key in a interview.

Wow this came out in 1980?!! Amazing bit of kit for the time.
2:05 That one, but specially its processed version at 2:26, sound like something straight from an 80's horror film.
That CYLON Voice sounded like someone playing music through a Tesla Coil.
4:54 - Vibrato like Chorus
This thing is awesome!

Check out the video for New Order's "Confusion" - he's in it!
Baker is an 80s producer hero
I still have my Lexicon PCM41.. The original owner - and I still use it all the time.
Lucky Stiff!!!! :)
Superb quality

Its amazing! 🤩
Love this Paolo! I could not afford this unit when it came out...! Still too pricey used! Around $1,000+ Used!
Very cool, Paolo! I had a Prime Time once. Now I have the 200. Do you still have your 200?
Sold the 200, trying to get a 224 series

My unit does not self-oscillate. Yes, there's a bit of signal through with the Audio in level all the way down.
@@SynthManiaDotCom OK good, i was worried my unit was faulty. Good to know it isn't. Thanks.

Which was the very first (hardware) effect unit that sounded "ok" or let's say "pleasant" to your ears?
