Topic: Synth Demos

we've all had the experience of suffering through endless amounts of crappy so called demonstrations but every once in a while there is some you find that you may actually learn something about how that instrument can sound when skillfully operated...

some channels which i'm sure are familiar to some of you already:

http://www.youtube.com/user/Jexus#p/u/50/SuMcZgPayFQ (very entertaining and well edited clips with home video spliced in)

http://www.youtube.com/user/AutomaticGa … 5X8jBBUwl8 (more comprehensive talk through style)

Re: Synth Demos

I like the Demos in this one:

Welcome to the Future...

Re: Synth Demos

I'm curious to see what you think of this guy : http://www.youtube.com/user/retrosound72

Re: Synth Demos

Jexus / WC Olo Garb. demos are entertaining
AnalogAudio1 are quite professional and good
retrosound72 has alot of demos, but somehow his playing is super boring.

then there is AutomaticGainsay that goes trough old analog synths quite thurly..

Re: Synth Demos

Yes Retrosound makes all this great gear  boring, it's just uninspired.

Re: Synth Demos

I always loved those two specific demos... I don't think they show everything the synths can do, but they're great songs:

i HATE the demo's of this guy. Talks all over the video and doesn't give the synthesizer the glance it deserves. While he's still babling like mad over the different osc's I can't get to hear a single sound that tells me more than how c-4 would sound unedited, which gives me an impression equal to zero of the synthi's character.
Okay I might be someone who's hardly interested in technical specifications, which is why I'm left cold by his talks. But damn if I'm interested in checking a synth I wanna see some action!

Re: Synth Demos

at least he explains what he does, and he knows his synths well. you wont get how the synth sounds in real from a youtube vid anyway. i get a good impression from what it can do through the way he explains the specs and possibilities. the ones i hate are the ones that just noodle away on a machine without saying anything.. i could make 100s of those too.. big_smile

Re: Synth Demos

@ trojax

also like that channel.  that patrick cowley one is the jam!

are you using hardware synths live on your myspace tracks?

very nice

yeah boyeee

Re: Synth Demos

@ruud

Re: Synth Demos

I like this bloke:

He only does the Korg MS stuff but he does them well and he sometimes gives patching examples.
