I remember doing silly stuff like that as well in the late 70's on my little cassette recorder. but sadly all that stuff as in the recordings are long gone. But I still have a Neil Diamond cassette that I got with the recorder very worn but still plays.

@@steviebboy69 If only it would break...

Haha I used to do the same, make radio shows with friends ,I’ve still got cassettes full of sound effects I used to record from cartoons or tv shows like Bewitched and music from adverts

That is actually Roger Linn. Roger Limb is a composer. 😊

Electronic acupuncture! Wonderful!!!

Totally agree, even kids shows were a lot calmer, yet interesting so you’d actually listen. Now so many videos have someone talking loud and fast, lots of jump cuts and zoom in and outs, cartoon sound effects, annoying music coz everyone seems to have short attention spans

An exact clone of a Synthi 100 would be a big ask. In saying that, after they/if make a VCS3 I wouldn't mind seeing a Behringer version of the EMS Hi-Fli multi-fx.

But now revived thanks to Analogue Solutions with their Colossus. Btw, I live in Putney, a mere stone throw from the little detached house by the Thames where Peter Zinovieff invented and manufactured those amazing machines- including the seminal one, the VCS-3 (for 'Voltage Control Synthesizer Nr3'... also known as ... The Putney)

I doubt your cell phone can reproduce the sound of a Synthi 100.

Not quite...cool story tho

AKA the EMS Synthi 100?

Nope it goes attack decay sustain release.

This was a good observation and I'm glad that you noticed that one. The comment by Newtronix is also right of course but it's just that this video shows the decay (time) behaving like release (time) after 5:16. Let me explain: Many early synthesizers didn't show a release (time) envelope stage. A very common example is the Minimoog. It only shows the attack (time), decay (time) and the sustain (level). With a Minimoog you could add (what would later be called) release (time) with a switch. That switch just says "decay" but it enables the decay (time) to also add the release (time) to the sound you're creating. That's a bit confusing... Well, I've seen many videos about synthesizers and the common ADSR we've had on most synths since the late 1970s is still a bit of a mystery to some people. One puzzling thing is that the sustain is actually a "level" where the sound volume stays after the decay stage (using the amplifier envelope) when we still keep pressing the key(s). It doesn't behave as "time" like the other envelope stages. One of the reasons for the confusion is that the sustain pedal of a piano etc. is actually doing what the release (time) does on a synthesizer. Well, If you really want to be confused, then all you have to do is to look at the controls of early Korg synthesizers, like the MiniKorg 700S. It's a great synth. It's very fun to use and the naming of the controls is part of the fun. It has both a low-pass filter and a high-pass filter but it's a secret... It's just called the "traveler". That's groovy, man. Anyway, I guess I've written enough. Take care and have a great day.

No decay is a slow hold feature

Only in "Hold On" mode, it's not an ADSR, but a trapezoid and will run without a key (gate) to release.

Most are in universities

@@annother3350 that particular one. It was heartbreaking when Peter Zinovieff spoke of his studio one which was cut up with chainsaws.

@@rbrooks2007 What did they do that for?

@@NuisanceMan EMS was going into receivership and some of the equipment was stored in a damp basement. It is mentioned by Dr. Peter Zinovieff in the documentary about EMS in KZfaq, I forget the name. EMS lives on with Robin Wood now, as you know.

Politicians that tell the truth? Well... there's always next year.
