    Really love seeing legendary synths being restored like this. And seeing what Behringer is doing with the synth industry, mainly recreating or cloning legendary analog synths. I feel I made the right decision purchasing their Model D. my first analog synth ever.

  • @69drummerdude
    @69drummerdude 4 роки тому +6

    Deep, deep respect for the "new" vintage synth line. Thanks for the effort and (as always) keeping it accessible and affordable for every one. Getting into synths is a real journey and it's a LOT more fun if you can afford a couple of ones instead of just one.

      Yamaha doesn't even know what to do with their synth tech, it's amazing. DX engine only in the flagship (which didn't even launch with DX sysex support!! EVEN THE VOLCA FM HAD THAT), no new VL stuff, no new QY. Then what's at NAMM? A Hey Remember When We Were Good showcase? Come oooon.
      @behringer please please leverage the TOG stuff you're making for the VC340 into a legit stringer.

    Wow! I remember the first time I saw one of these as a kid. I think it was 1985. All I could do was stare at at in amazement. I had been playing piano and keys for at least 5 years then. Playing a few chords on that thing blew my mind. I thought it was the most futuristic thing I’d ever seen. These things go for big money now.

    Brilliant to see this synth get restored. I think Yamaha was trying to track one of these down to put into their legacy room as it is one of the ones they haven’t been able to get back.
    I just watch the sonic state overview of the yamaha synth room from namm and it was excellent minus the missing units.
