My First Synth - Extended Version

- I was asked to do a short video on my first synth. But, of course, there's nothing short in my world, so here's the full-fat, fleshed-out trip down memory lane of my first synthesizer or two, which were really my dad's first synthesizers, to whom I am eternally grateful.

What a great video to make. I wish my parents were still around so I could talk to them about our home organ and the first synth they bought me which was a Wasp. The local home organ shop had a little corner where synths emerged and I went in to upgrade to an SH09 then a Juno 6. They supported of all this and I don’t think I ever appreciated out loud what they did
Great vid, that second krautrock type track you made as a young Robin was great.
Absolutely lovely video Robin..
That pile of shame! A Stochastic Inspiration Generator thrown onto a DataBender, piled on a Mojave. I won't buy no modules from you, Sir. ;) Loved the vid. Tears stirred.
Interesting look back at your early explorations. I just had to go back to my old cassette tapes and take another listen to my 1st synth(s), a Sequential Pro-1 mono synth with a Roland MC-202 sequencer/Synth. That was 1985. I was 30 yrs old, had been listening to Klaus Schulze, J.M. Jarre, etc for a few years, and was finally able to afford my own synths. I was in heaven....
really incredible...
Ok, this means there's a great guitar story there too.
Beautiful parents to cherish.
🙌 very nice Robin !
My first real synth was also a DX100, that I got used, for $200, in 1987. Still got it.
This was really interesting, thanks
I own an old Kemble piano! Never heard of it before!
Really enjoyable.
that was awesome man! glad you still got the old footage and recordings and was able to have this moment with them. now you got a record of this interview for the future. when your dad said he got that one hoping youd play with him about made me well up 😥 sometimes we never know those things. now i need to ask mine why he got guitars in the 80s instead of synths... 😆
I really liked this on location walk down memory lane segment of your channel.
For me, my interest and fascination in synthesizers started when my mother took me to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pa in the late 1960s where a exhibit and exhibition on electronic music was on display and Robert Moog himself gave a demonstration of his Modular system (similar to the modular system that was used on Switched on Bach by Wendy Carlos). I never lost the fascination I had way back then
Wonderful family interview. Thank you so much for sharing this with us Robin.
This was a nice video. Family great.
I watched the Matt video and enjoyed that
Thank you, Robin, for the extended version... Much enjoyed 👍
Not changed one bit ,handsome then and now even more handsome ,
Thanks a lot to share this story, even more in family cercle. I have a big story on my side : By luck, I bought a Technics U60 organ in 2018, and still, this is a revolution in my life. My friend Julie filmed the very first sound I made with :

I was a pianist then, and I'm becoming an organist and a synthesist. Hope you'll enjoy, because that was also the starting point which bring me to Sonicstate and then to you.
From Normandie, with love.
@28:47 From what I hear here, you could have easily ended up in a band like Depeche Mode or Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. 😍
Haha… you found the video where he names it wrong. It’s sx-K200, not KN-sx200. This one was released in 1981 with the little brother K100. A few more advanced models like 350 and 450 came in 82-83. Before the other K500 and 700 mid 80s.
The KN range came after the K and AX series in 1990 with KN600 and KN800 culminating in the majestic KN1000 in 1991 which kicked Roland, Yamaha and Korg in their nuts for a few years boasting 32 voice polyphony, decent 8-track sequencer, optional floppy drive and proper PCM sampled sounds.
Didn’t last too long before the others caught up and finally Technics ended their music range somewhere around mid 2000.
Yeah, I never quite get the name in the right order.
Mine was the Roland SH09 - (should have kept it!) followed by Roland JX3p - which you had to buy extra gizmo t to programme and a the ubiquitous Dramatix (would have been worth a bit now?) plus Foster 8 track & mixer - all in the one laptop now!
27:30 Can we get that whole body of works on tape uploaded?
Maybe
@@MoltenMusicTech I kind of have a soft spot for old tape home recordings and quite enjoyed the vibe of the music presented in the video in particualr.
I had the same glasses. Sadly not the same equipment. Or musical talent.
🙂
HaHa almost the same story as me
