    Thank you; much appreciated. Interesting to hear synths I'm not familiar with. Nice range of tone/timbres...from 'synth' to organ and bells...got some FM character too. Great recording as always. : -)

      Der Tiracon hat einen sehr eigenartigen Klangcharakter, eine bisschen zwischen rotzigem Polivoks und alter Kirchen-Orgel.

    • @torbenanschau6641
      @torbenanschau6641 8 років тому

      Vor allem finde ich er klingt eher wie ein monophoner als ein polyphoner. Hat er diskrete Bauteile, weißt Du sowas?

    Achja dieser Synth...😍 Unerreichbar damals für mich Schulgänger, da hat es nur für eine gebrauchte Vermona Weltmeister TO 200/5 gereicht, mit der man aber auch einiges anstellen konnte. Leider funktioniert die gute alte Orgel nicht mehr und wäre ein Fall für den Sperrmüll. Gibt es eigentlich außer der DRM Drummaschine auch Samples oder VSTs von Vermona Orgeln und den zwei Synthesizern? 🤔

    • @retrosound72
      @retrosound72  2 роки тому +1

      if you still need some help, PM me! hard to explain in a short way how to tune this synth. The problem are not the voice cards itself. It's a reference voltage problem. Had the same problem with mine after installing a new power supply.

    Erst vor der Wende vorgestellt, der U880 entspricht dem Zilog Z80 und ist etwas Fehlerbereinigt. Vermona war bei den Berufsmusikern nicht sonderlich beliebt, wer konnte, hatte meist Roland auf der Bühne.
