Revealed: A Guide To Vintage Synths and Synthesizers From 1970s

By Matthew Mills

Lets work backwards in time to take a look at the most well-known synths to ever hit the market.

A couple of people wanted those spectacular sounds of the 1970/80s back. The problem was the cost needed to buy and preserve those old machines. Then fortunately in 1995 along came the Access Virus. It consisted of a great deal of patch storage, effects and a vocoder. This truly was a new digital based virtual based analogue synthesiser.

Even though first introduced in 1992 the Roland JV series came to be known. These're the Roland workstation series of semi synths. It all began with the JV-80 and 90. And then progressed onto the JV 1080 and JV 2080. What these produced were awesome in regards to exceedingly exact and totally believable genuine instrument samples. It proved to be a brilliant money saver for musicians. No longer did they require to count on real instruments. They were paced with expansion selections and polyphony so the JV series worked it's way into the XV series that you see on the market nowadays.

The most best sold synth known in the history was the Korg M1 in 1988. This particular synth was a semi-workstation synth. The price, sound and look of it presents how much effort the maker put in. As a good traditional subtractive synthesizer sound, the A1 synthesis technique made this possible. When you mixed this with the 16 voice polyphony and the many built-in effects and sequencer, you had it all. Theres zero doubts as to why this synth was so popular.

Several of you will be very familiar with the Roland D-50 from 1987, as it is still used nowadays. It has lots of polyphony and could be heard on a couple of the records of the 1980/90s. The new LA synthesis architecture never become a favourite item, but it fit in well with the eight bit form of PCM sampling. It allowed for peculiar sounds that had never been known before.

In 1984, hope rose for those fans of synthesizers that could just not afford to be involved in the past. This's brought about because of the Roland Juno-106. It permitted hybrid DCO based synthesis technology to be practiced by musicians who had never had the chance in the past. It's limited to a single filter and oscillator, it had an supreme chorus effect and sounds from the 80s that made it into a very well-known item. - 18758
