@SYNTH PARTY
What Camera is it?
Amazing collection......just wow!
Saw this video yeaaaaaars ago and have been trying to find it ever since. Glad to have found it again - amazing studio space.
Being a guitar player, I never knew there were so many different synths. It's interesting to get a glimpse into the synth world. Very cool.
Thanks Danny! Glad you enjoyed.
wonderful
Love this tour man, so much great stuff and pure love for it all. :) Keep posting videos, it's been 6 months already!
I LOVE these synths! - The video was too out of focus half the time giving me a headache !!!!
11 months now :(
I'm in love.
You guys are so cool. A lot of love from Israel!
I am so happy to find out other people have the same disease.
right? lmfao i love this comment
Finally! Someone who shares my love for the JX-8P! :)
Beyond awesome! Totally radical🤘
Nice collection of old synths !
Thanks Will!
What a cave guys! Coronavirus has had me seeking out other synth-heads studios and yours is sprawling, which is good cos you'll never know what you're gonna find around the corner. Superb set-up, congrats.
Great tour and now I have major G.A.S. :)
That studio is blowing my mind.
Thanks Rory!
very good channel. demo some of the synths you like. love learning about what ppl like. I have two synths and a nice drum machine. but those synths can give me a lot of sounds for years
I enjoyed ur studio
Thank you!!!
Beautiful collection. The amount of time and money for all of these must of been staggering.
Thank you! Luckily my career is in composing/producing so I can put a lot of money back into the business!
this is truly a very nice looking studio you have!
Thank you so much!
Do more videos.
We will!!!!
I would never leave that room :D
I rarely do! Thanks for watching!
Lovely collection! Could you show how you've linked everything together? Interfaces, patchbays etc.
Would be very interesting to know the sognal chain and how you go about routing them all.
Thanks :)
Yes, thats a great idea for a future video.
Akai AX80 cost to much to make so they had to stop production (Blue LED's very. expensive at the time). There was going to be a FX unit the same shape as they thought having a built in chorus would become boring.(like juno).
Love this video man, totally jellin over your collection!
Thanks Haaris!
What’s the advantage of using the Roland sip compressor on bass instead of the “much better” (at least as of price) distressors? Interested to hear your thoughts!
Really nice stuff but the camera job is lame...
Agreed, we aren't great video makers. But thanks for bearing with us as we figure it out.
@SYNTH PARTY
Owning your shortcomings & not getting defensive is a good look :]
...& also the first step to improving.
What camera are you using? Try manually focusing if you can. Otherwise set your focus to infinity.
It was annoying sometimes when it went blur at the parts I really wanted to see but I still enjoyed the tour on a whole and obviously you aren't professional video makers but you had a go for which I am grateful. Love the gear that you have here. I don't feel too bad about my own when I see others who have more than me and have been collecting seriously for longer. Thank you for giving us all an insight into your studio

i thought the sequencer to compliment the prophet 5 was the six trax...
I was already impressed as hell ... and then you pulled out the Casio digital guitar and my mind officially blew out the back of my skull. Amazing collection, I'm also curious about the general technical "boring stuff" like how how it's all routed, if you're using a MOTU interface / patchbay or something more modern (or judging from your collection, something much older?) Also the mounting racks, which is as boring as it gets but I'm in the market for a quad tier rack so yeah, do you happen to know the brand or are they all homemade / frankensteined?
Regarding the video: the focusing problem was *really* hard to endure but I see you've already responded to that complaint a few times. But by contrast, those clips of (presumably your own band's?) music videos looked very well made and interesting. What are you guys called and are the full videos here on the Tube?
I'm glad like the Casio guitar! I do plan to do a vid on how I route everything. As far as the mounting racks I have been buying them on reverb from Fulcrum Woodwork. I can't recommend them enough.Once again sorry about the camera work. We aren't gonna release any more vids until we can solve the focusing problems. And my band is called New Shack and we have a lot of videos on youtube! Thanks for your thoughtful comments!
That's an Albert Lee Musicman (guitar) ...
I MIGHT take the prophet 5 (or I would if I didn't have a Prophet REV2.) you can have the rest of that shit. 8:00 I actually found one of those (it was the Siel version) new/old stock in the late 90s along with a PG200, PG800 and PG1000 synth programmers, all new in the box at a local music store. I sold the PG200s (I think there were 2) and the PG800 since I didn't have the synths. I kept the PG1000 and bought a D50 to go with it but sold the set shortly there after. getting back to the Siel....as I recall, I don't think it had MIDI, and you had to have the keyboard version of it, along with a special connector cord to use it. so I ended up selling it. I also briefly had a Siel DK600 which would freeze up regularly. Siel was probably the absolute worst quality synth ever made - even worse than Ensoniq. Siel was actually Italian for "feces" believe it or not.
what are the posters in the room!
A lot of them are art by retro futurism artist Frank Paul!
how does focussing work?
which interface do you use? what is your typical chain for recording? stereo into the vintech and using the compressors as inserts in your daw?
focus maybe?
What’s the Akai at 4:38 ?
Please
Hey! Its the AX80. Its incredible!
SYNTH PARTY
Thx !
Awesome studio btw
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching!
When your uncle pops up on your RUclips homepage 😲
so much dreamy gear. surprsied you dont have an 1176 ;)
Curious, how long did it take you amass all of that and how much money do you think you've spent on gear? I'm running numbers in my head and crying at the thought...
Oh man, I don't even want to think about how much this all cost. I've been collecting since late 2012. Luckily I make a living in music so I'm able to put money back into my business/studio.
You make a living doing music? How in the world did you pull that off? lol!
this is my second time watcvhing this video, you have so many synths that i have, have had, or will likely never see again (if, at all) in my lifetime. i used to know so i vaguely remembewr the thing, it was prolly 1990-1994 ish last i saw one...
sorry- *used to know someone who played an octave cat*
Hi m8, jealous. Just got back into hardware synths. I have mininova atm,
with blue sky reverb, and fousrite. I have 800 euro to spend. I am into
ambient, deep house, jarre, 80's synth pop and boards. What would you
recommend as upgrade. I have synth xp (1986 dx7-207 ish) Digital and
analogue both sides mono/poly. What would you recommend?
Thats a great question. I always recommend the Juno 106 to people who are wanting a great overall synth. I've found the 106 to be pretty diverse. It can be punchy for bass and house stuff and can also be lush and full especially if you are running it through your blue sky. The akai AX60 is one of my favorite polys and has some amazing sounds that come from it. I did a video on it if you wanna check it out.
Dm12 an option as modern 106 in your opinion?
Its definitely a modern option. I haven't tried it myself but have watched some vids on it and it looks very capable. I lean much heavier towards vintage gear so I'm probably not the best to ask about newer synths.
Hear ya
Stuart
lucky guy.
Great video, but please focus the camera...
We are just starting so thanks for bearing with us! We are much better musicians than video makers. Thanks for watching!
Terrified to ask your software
Focus your damn camera boyo!
No oberheim :(
Not yet!
They're some of the most expensive vintage synths and it sucks because they are my favorite. Why are my favorite things also the most expensive things?
I have the same problem! Why can't a Jupiter 8 be $300? haha
If you sell all your synths - apart from the CS30 (don't even think about selling that) - then you can buy an OBX! I too am a big admirer of the MS10. I like a lot of the simple, single oscillator, mono synths, like the Roland SH-1, ARP Axxe and the incomprehensibly overlooked Yamaha CS5/10. You know you really ought to have an Octave Cat (preferably the fully discrete MKI) in your collection, don't you?! Oh, and by the way, I wouldn't swap the SH-2 I don't yet have, for both yours and Robert's SH-101s!
Wrong ! We can see The MATRIX 6R from Oberheim that is a Synth Rack @ 7:33 min...
frustrating camera work
Sorry about that. We agree.
What’s your address? 😬
Love @ first watch
The MS-10 is awesome btw
It's a pity that RUclips didn't exist at the time (80's) I owned my 'vintage' synth stuffed studio. It would have been the ultimate wet dream for all the young guys out there who get (mistakenly) lyrical about all the analogs and vintage synths. Beside collectors value, there is no reason to believe that these things sound 'better' as so many out there claim. Nowadays, we are perfect able to reproduce the 'analog' sound with VST's and other remakes, or even digital synths. Everybody claiming that they hear the difference, please get a life and stop making an idiot of yourself. At this time, there are enough blind tests that proof the opposite. And if your ARP 2600 grey face gets broken, you'll talk different when you discover it simply can't be repaired...
Noted. Thanks for watching!
"It's a pity that RUclips didn't exist at the time (80's)"
c´mon..you were a toddler at that time -at most:)
you really need to buy autofocus !
fuck me ! buy a tuner
Putain de camera de merde! C'est tout flou !!
Who the heck are these strange female "artists" with identity issues and borderline personality disorder?
get your focus skilles fixed...unwatchable like this
