    Молодчина, выше всяческих похвал, спасибо! У Вас я отдыхаю, хотя весь во внимании, здесь не заснёшь и мухи на лету не падают, много любопытного и пощнаветельного. Все инструменты звучат интересно, убедительно и вкусно, с намёком на возможности, как это когда-то звучало у Chick Corea, George Duke и Genesis. Становится понятно, почему первые двое перешли на Minimoog, хотя ARP-2600 местами выигрывает своим характером тяжести и мрачности. Оба аналога от Behringer под Вашими пальцами поют честно. Хотелось бы увидеть на Вашем разделочном столе Pro-800, Jupiter 8 и Obx8. Уверен, это станет самыми объективными аналищами и оценками. Успехов и удачи😅

      The Vox Continental design brief was to produce a Hammond type of sound from a transistor keyboard that could be easily carried to gigs without a four-man lift. Almost by accident, the sound became desirable in its own right, being capable of breaking through the bass, drums and rhythm guitars on stage. It was used by many of the top touring 1960s bands - Beatles, Animals, Doors. etc.

      @@VintageKeysStudio It was more than that. After initial testing, a capacitor in the power supply exploded -- while the organ was off. During repairs, the vibrato board stopped working and proved unusually difficult to diagnose. The main dividers were built with those "PEC" (Packaged Electronic Component) assemblies, early precursors of integrated circuits, so it was a mess if something went wrong inside. And there were problems with the bass keying.

    Thank you for demonstrating all the potential sound configurations as I wasn't aware of many of them. We have owned this same rare model (serial 8388) since being purchased new for my sister's use in Germany, late 1970s. It still looks new and has fallen into my non-musical hands for disposal. I was planning to offer it to a charity shop but had to make it work properly first. I found, as you would have, that every single one of the 65 rocker, lever and pushbutton switches was assembled with a grease on the electrical contacts that degrades into a non-conductive film, and a small red rubber pad, intended to quieten the switch action, can drop into and jam the mechanism. I spent a week disassembling and cleaning every single switch with good results. But I still have one elusive fault where the Special Presets output VCA is working but not being enabled under any switch setting. It's not easy to troubleshoot having only the schematics from a later model. But now that I better understand the capabilities I'm more interested in finding a more deserving home for it.

    fantastic! More, please. Actually, that song would be interesting to dissect the various sounds/sound effects. Somewhere in the song, there's something of a 'roar' that sounds like a bass drum-ish. In fact, quite a few sounds that sound like they may have come off the drums have another quality to them that make them sound not totally drum like. Maybe it was all of the caricature filtering that was used on the vocals? But I think they missed out on not having the M102!

    • @VintageKeysStudio
      @VintageKeysStudio 10 днів тому

      I think a lot of it had something to do with May’s ‘Deacy amp’ - maybe they ran vocals through it to get that tonal quality? They maybe ran the drums through it too.
