Vintage synth exploration
This guy has released a whole bunch of demos, comparing classic synths:
This is a side by side comparison betweeen my Minimoog D from 1978 (featuring the new oscillator board introduced after SN 10175) and my Synthesizers.com modular, equipped with 3 VCO’s and the Moog 904-A filter clone produced by Mos-Lab in France. Of course this is just a rough demo, because it’s not that easy to set the 904-A and the Mini’s filter exactly the same in real time because of their different architecture. I used the Mos-Lab 904-A instead of Dotcom’s Q150 for no particular reason, they sound almost identical (see my demo about those filters). The VCO’s also are set with the same waveforms (equal wide square wave) and octave intervals. The Dotcom is on the left, the Mini on the right channel, some delay added (be sure your speakers or earphones are correctly connected…).
Another short demo of those great vintage and contemporary analogue synthesizers. The Minimoog is the one performing in the higher register. Direct board take, only delay added.
Roland SH-09 (1980) Demo
Various sounds and settings of my little vintage Roland SH-09 (vco with and without suboscillator, waveform and octave changes, various filter cutoff and resonance settings, s/h filter modulation). Sequenced by a MFB Step 64, delay added. 30 years ago, this was one of the cheapest monosynths on the market, just a low-cost Minimoog alternative. Anyway, even if it lacks a second vco for oscillator beatings, compared to actual digital and virtual analogue synths this little thing rocks! The SH-09 was one if not the last Roland monosynth entirely build with discrete electronic components so it is also easy to repair.
