I hope you enjoy this rare opportunity to visit with my close friend Rob Rosen for a deep dive into his ultimate vintage synth collection. Together, we’ll see inside some of the rarest synthesizers of all-time and learn from this master technician how synthesizers have evolved, what makes them tick and why synthesizers make such cool sounds!
I consider Rob’s shop @Rosen Sound ground zero for anything relating to synthesizers. It’s also the biggest wonderland of vintage synths in perfect working order that you’ll ever see .
Rob is a self-taught technician and is now the world leader for repair, restoration, custom manufacturing and sales of vintage synthesizers. He’s also quite an accomplished musician programmer and keyboard player as well.

This channel is steadily becoming one of the best synths channel on KZfaq. I really really enjoy Anthony and his knowledge on things. I'm learning a lot of things about synthesis and arrangment.

Man your not kidding. I started messing with these things in the mid to late 70’s then gradually got into other things like Hammonds( b3). But still love synths and I find I’m getting back into them at 60plus years old.

This is one of the best synth videos I have ever seen. I remember coming across a cachet of 1970s magazines back in the 80s/90s and remember the initial UK reviews of the Prophet and CS80... the prices were similar to the price of a small terraced house in my town. I'd never really thought much of the CS80 until now... what an amazing timbre especially with the ring mod...

My eyes teared up a little when they turned the OBX8 voice around to see the back of it. Stendhal syndrome moment for sure. So beautiful. A chaotic marvel. God bless the geniuses that make these gorgeous soulful instruments. It's easy to forget the miraculous human achievements in the technologies that surround us every day. What a time to be alive.

SO much value. Thank you Anthony, I am 20 years old and only recently got into Michael Jackson and the 80s sound. You're truly a pioneer. As a musician, there is so much to unpack and to learn from and i'm very grateful to have firsthand access to this knowledge. I just wanted to acknowledge my appreciation for your stuff. Thank you. I hope this channel gets the platform it so deserves

There was this guy I bought a full Roland System 100 from in Sydney Australia, around 1997. His name was Dave... he honestly had 2 more full system 100's, Minimoogs, Korg PS-3100, Yamaha CS60... this was just the stuff I saw. The was a heap more there. He had a mixing desk from an radio station (Triple M), a massive wooden Marimba. At that time he lived in an old warehouse around the St. Peters area. He said he was in a band in the 80s that toured Japan.

I also own a EMS Sinthy A and a 909, sadly sold my mint 808 12 years ago and my 2600, yet own tons of jewels... and more to come. Prophet 2002+ coming from Germany now ( got 2 in the 90s), great trick yours with the 2600. I do with my Minimoog. Bob signed it for me in Barcelona one year before he passed away. Moog module with a real clock on it, funny!

OH WOW! So, I thought I would have to break the viewing of this into more than one session, but I just could not stop watching! Very engrossing video. I felt like I was just hanging out with two synth nerds. Although I am no expert player or tech, I was able to follow along fairly well, but I did learn quite a bit as well! Excellent content! I was grinning from ear to ear through the whole video and even clapping at times. Like Anthony stated, it's so great when you have someone with whom you can share the enthusiasm of a subject and really just roll on and on. I could have watched an even longer video and enjoyed every minute. The 20 questions section was great! The shoot-out at the end was incredible! I just gotta get the patch info for that 2600 bass sound! Looking forward to it, Anthony! Very much looking forward to more phenomenal content like this. A real treat for sure.

I love this stuff. The CS-80 is very compact compared to the Oberheim Eight Voice! You're not gonna carry the Oberheim up the stairs yourself! Just FYI, if you're going to fly around a room like 11:42 you'd probably be better off using an iPhone in Action Mode if you're not using a gimbal. The camera is moving dramatically through all three axes, and there's massive blur. It's hard to watch when it's not stable in at least one axis. The shutter angle determines how much the frames blur together, and it looks like it's manually been set higher than 180° which is very high. If you're not going for a trippy/dreamy/nauseating look you need a tighter shutter with a higher ISO. Also it looks like this was shot in 24 FPS then converted to 30 FPS, which adds a stutter during panning.

All I have is a crappy ebay kit scope and its been enough. And for my dmm im using a cheap Aldi multimeter from 2009 and its bang on :)
