I've been under a rock for 20 years and discovered Krakli by way of Arminator 2... such amazing presets in addition to the synth itself. Eager to try others.Even legacy items I never saw before look super fun

This was absolutely fantastic programming from the BBC back in the 80s. It told you exactly what you needed to know to get your band off the ground. I used to watch avidly each week. Thanks, Rockschool.

Oh, I have got to pick your brains Ian please. What prompt did you use to create such a great track, and what are you using for your visuals? Thanks.

heavy vibes

Great video use to go every year

I had a play with this and was shocked at how well it created tunes and songs including harmonies etc ... and it's only in BETA!! 😮😎😮🖖 RIP music industry as we know it?

That's good

Hey can you send me a project file like this one you have.. I've been working with this program for about 2 years now all I'm able to do is make simple Vst I know how to do reverb delay and Lfo But I want to learn something more complex like this one😊 there aren't too many helpful RUclips tutorials... Can you send me this project file or something similar So I can load it in my synthedit So I can get some real practice in 4 change cuz I'm tired of reading the manual guide book😂😂😂🎉

Na Ian this is more than good ,its a Xmas No1💯✝🕎☪☯🔯

love this song, and nice video too

Great to see you're still active. Haven't heard or read from you in ages. How have you been doing?

Just saw a more recent demo of this (the SK7), and I would say it turned out pretty nice. Great work. And I must have been previously impressed at some time, because I just noticed I'm already subscribed to your channel!

Take me back to Rockschool!

My gosh, I think I have seen this before. Great find!

Tech boi Herbie Hancock flossin his Casio calculator watch.

Oh my god, I can remember watching this first time round, they all seemed like gods to wannabe 14yo. Synths were so expensive back then.

Human Monotone synths...

The guy around @2:30 is Mike Vickers, which around the same time helped out The Beatles with synth sounds for the Abbey Road album.

Wow, a successor of the S3! Just stumbled across this video.... I was sooo happy discovering the S3 when starting with VST based electronic music again maybe 7-8 years ago; I always loved these string machine sounds since the 80ies (I still have a Hohner String melody). Im the meantime I'm producing a modular synth system, which includes also a String module 😅. I must try out your creation! Thanks for your creative work! ❤

I watched this when it was first broadcast 😮

If twenty people were told to draw a synth nerd he is what you’d get 😂

what will they think of next

RockSchool! Loved this show in the early 80’s…a must watch for every budding musician 😊

Well, you know one thing is true: these people had money 😂. All that gear practically cost a small house.

6:40 Plays JX10 while ignoring the Memorymoog above it. The MM probably ended up in the dumpster.

What is the excerpt for the Mellotron demo? I'm getting the thought this was from something by Keith Emerson, but I'm unsure.

little did they know what was going to happen in the 2020's.

1:48 Expressive E Osmose

"... that Voltages suffer by being pushed through a circuit board..." wait... Voltages have feeling?!?! 😱

Excellent video great channel

Love to see Vince Clarke demoing midi, thought he stuck to CV

It’s wild to see how hostile the 80s was towards analog

That was great! I must have seen this before in the past but I'm not totally sure. Thanks for posting! 😎👍

This excerpt is off a weekly programme called Rockschool, back in the late 80's, if I'm not mistaken. For a budding synth player like me it was a must watch. There was a drummer, guitarist (as seen) and bass player as well as the keyboard/ synth man. Oh, the memories! ❤️

Does anybody know where I can download PHATCHAP?

I have this video on my VHS tapes. Recorded off of my TV! 😊

These legends openly talking about using presets and today so many "Synth Gurus" (wannabes) making fun and/or belittling producers who use presets. 🤦‍♂🤷‍♂

7:14 the best bit of the Rockschool series was this Vince Clark segment. He's such a virtuoso with this stuff.

Best CS 80 VST out there if it can do poly AT as well. Own the real thing.

This was the BBC’s ‘Rockschool’.

I know this video is old, but it's actually refreshing: the people interviewed are all professional musicians, and they are adamantine in highlighting the cons of vintage analog instruments, especially the voltage controlled ones. Nowadays, commercial resellers in all disguises seldom even mention those inconvieniences, but the limits are still there, plus the unreliability that comes with age. Also, it's heartwarming to see all the enthusiasm about midi, computers, and digital synths: it was the dawn of the modern recording studio, without whom you would have to be Stevie Wonder to have access to synths and record electronic music. And, when people nowadays talk about dawless, they still talk 90% of the time about a computer with a digital software system, that interacts via midi. Some things do not change, only the attitude.

u use synthedit to make your plugins ?

The first sound comes from the wonderfull Roland JX-10. I have and love this instrument. It is pure 80s magic.

You cannot convince me that the first dude isn't a serial killer.

Great retro video for all fellow synth lovers to lust over!

Is this from "Rock School"? I remember that green Yamaha drum kit.

Being the owner of a real CS80 I must say I am VERY impressed by this. Normally every time I check out an emulation my reaction is: Sounds nothing like the real thing but can more or less be made to do so by particularly programming sounds which contain typical CS80 aspects. In other words: They CAN come close if you work hard. The same goes for the rather expensive hardware Deckard's Dream. Until I heard this one! It's the very first time a CS80 emulation gives me the feeling I am listening to the real thing almost all the time? The presets are very convincing. Furthermore: What could not be fully emulated (like the 5 stage filter envelope and the natural drift of the originals oscillators is more then compensated by the extras like and ADSR per low and high pass filter and a separate LFO per synthesis section. Other "modifications” also make perfect sense. Like the individual outputs / stereo options. Real Yamaha users had to wait for that until the CS70m came out. Then there is the very nice and comprehensive arpeggiator, although I would still have a few suggestions to make it even better. Even the ring mod sounds are very close to the original, so no need to too modest there. If it indeed does poly AT as well this is a very good emulation indeed. And all that for free? Negatives? Some weaknesses can actually be turned into positives when you are a creative programmer. The echo's and especially the reverbs are not up to todays standards. The funny thing however is that Vangelis did also not have too many options when he started using the CS80. On the first albums on which he used it (Spiral etc.) he was dependent on early bucket brigade delay effects and the echo's per synthesis channel on this VST incidentally recreate quite a bit of that sound. The reverb is indeed less impressive. Vangelis used a good plate reverb in the beginning. Old analog synths sent through more up to date digital reverbs are a golden combination anyway so why not let the rest of your DAW take care of that? My (non sponsored) verdict?: If my real CS80 ever breaks down indefinitely (and I constantly live in fear of that) I know where to turn to. So Mr developer: High time for a 64 bit version. And again: If you are interested in a few more idea's let me know.

proud to have been part of this. its a great song

2:17 - already making jokes about people putting plants on their synths back in 1987. Not a succulent, though.

Where can I find the manual for this vst?
