Revealed: Vintage Synths and Synthesizers - 1970 & 1980s

By Dan Shaw

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

Various people wanted those spectacular sounds of the 1970/80s back. The problem was the price involved to buy and maintain those old machines. Then fortunately in 1995 along came the Access Virus. It consisted of a lot of patch storage, effects and a vocoder. This truly was a new digital based virtual based analogue synthesizer.

Even though first introduced in 1992 the Roland JV series came to be acknowledged. These're the Roland workstation series of semi synths. It all started with the JV-80 and 90. Then progressed onto the JV 1080 and JV 2080. What these developed were astounding in regards to highly accurate and completely believable genuine instrument samples. It tested to be an excellent money-saver for musicians. No longer did they require to count on real instruments. Theyre paced with expansion options and polyphony so the JV series worked its way into the XV series that you see on the market now.

The most well sold synth known in the history was the Korg M1 in 1988. This unusual synth was a semi-workstation synth. It had factual sound, a smooth look, and a good price. As a great traditional subtractive synthesizer sound, the A1 synthesis technique made this possible. When you blend this with the sixteen voice polyphony and the many built in effects and sequencer, you had it all. There's zero doubts as to why this synth was so known.

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. - 18423
