Great having your music behind this video, perfect music. My studio is also inspired by only one man, Vangelis. Not for Vangelis choices in instruments, but his recording style of "one-take" playing it all live on the fly. Lost my entire vintage studio in a divorce of 2008. Since then, been building up another studio that I finished (you know finished:) last year. All new instruments from what I learned over the last 56 years as a musician. Analog for mono voices and digital for poly. Pattern sequencers to assist when my two hands and two feet are busy. No computer, just a 24 track hardware recorder and a 32 channel analog mixer subbed down to 8 (4 stereo) tracks at the recorder. Recording wet and one take, when the song is finished so is the recording. This year will be adding a MAC and LogicPro just for mastering so I can run lower levels at the multi-track stage.
I want to play as much as possible live as well. Will have to work on the position of the instrument - I can’t reach all of them. I do use Logic - to sync everything and I like their midi arp. I mix vintage with digital and also plug ins like Omnisphere and Pigments. 44 years of experience in my case ;-) And no divorce fortunately
@@josesvintagekeys I have assembled the position of my instruments in a square with me in the middle, each side of the square is a multi-tier stand that has 3 to 4 keyboards/modules. Each stand/side of the square is a stage/part of the orchestration such as one station/side has an 88key weighted piano, RD-2000 and a Fantom for launching clips of phrases. This is the piano + orchestration stage. Another side of the square is a powerful pattern sequencer keyboard/synth controlling 3 analog synths and a VA synth, a sampler, groove box and a multi-timbral synth. This side is used for really big orchestrations with up to 8 tracks of instruments playing along in pitch. This year I added a 5th section outside the square to include a Kurtzweil synth 88 weighted keys MIDI controlling 4 Roland Boutiques. This section can play fully orchestrated sections of highly complex music while I go back and sit in my little square and play more or just remain at the Kurzweil station. Each station or side of the square can be played with another side, I am not limited to just performing on one side. Every instrument is in a playable position AND a programable position. Difficult to explain, but maybe you understand?
Very nice, the way the cam pans along your wonderful instruments as their sounds emerge. Btw: an 808 has no stereo out, one is mono and the other out is mono at high volume (which you noticed). So to pan sounds you want to use the individual outputs. Nice to see that the VP-330 MKI found a loving home! Which phaser is that Solina running through? And can you say anything about the Yamaha EX5r?
All I can say is I am very envious...got to make do with the VST instruments and still not found a good one for the CS -80 as yet...Great Studio and Great vid ...Cheers Les🙂👍
@@helisoma I understand... man's gotta do what a man's gotta do - and I don't have unlimited funds - like everybody. Have to admit I have some doubts sometimes...
This looks like heaven! 😍Beautiful track too, thanks for sharing!

Great. You're the guy the producers of the new Blade Runner tv series on Netflicks need.
mmmhhh - that would be fantastic :-)
Wow that’s a crazy collection of synths, good for you!
Beautiful sounds and studio. Keep them coming!
❤❤❤

txxs Les!
I have Arturia's CS-80V. I thought it was quite good but I know some people think it's not authentic.
@@FeatherGlow1 thankyou...I had a demo of it and maybe try it👍
A Yamaha SY77 or 99 would be great to complete the vintage collection ;)
how different are these vs the EX?
Super Super ich bin hin und weg schöne Grüße aus Deutschland
Vielen dank!
That's a lot of money in one room ... most of us coudn't even afford maintainance and a insurence for that gear! ;)
took me 40 years and some luckto get here :-))
I regretted selling my JD-990 many moons ago.
I can understand - it’s still a wonderful machine
