    A lot​ of other synth players arguing here over presets and whatever. Who cares. Use what you like. Use what instrument you like. Doesn't matter if its hardware or VSTi. Doesn't matter if it's FM or analog. It literally doesn't matter what you use as long as you like it and it works for you. It's your music. Do what you want.

    Lamster66 Well, I may have been a little too liberal with the term "finished"! 15 finished, and 15 in near-finished limbo, may be more accurate. My point is, I've created WAY more sounds than I probably have years left to play! But by god when I do write I have a backlog of sounds to choose from! (So why do I find myself creating new sounds when writing, other than just selecting and moving on?) The problem is these killer (and mostly affordable) softsynths with their ability to create virtually any sound you can imagine, and many you can't! But would we have it any other way?! Nah!

    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.

    The 80's were a magical time if you were the right age... For adults it was all about the never ending quest for the almighty $$$, for the pre-teens it was Saturday Morning Cartoons and the drag of school. But for us lucky ones, who were in our teens/early 20's, the 80's was heaven. The best music, the best movies, the best drugs, the hottest gals with their tight leather pants, too much makeup and perfume, and the hair that reached to the sky. It was quite a time to be alive :-)

    Herbie Hancock's point about professional programmers should not be overlooked. Some guys like Vince Clarke and Thomas Dolby were techies themselves, but many other musicians weren't. One name you'll see on a lot of albums from the UK is Andy Richards, who played or programmed on songs that were at #1 in the UK for 19 weeks in 1984 e.g. he created the keyboard parts on FGTH's "Relax" and should have got a songwriter credit.

    I loved watching this program as a kid, growing up with ideas of owning a synth one day, and a guitar too. Clear simple information for fans of earlier synths, with a nod towards the use of a sequencer thrown in. Later synths were linked via MIDI, so you could buy a 'MIDI synth brain box' (a keyboardless synth) and just use the synth keyboard from a different unit fitted with MIDI capability. MIDI is probably old tech by today's standards, but it was a great leap forward at the time. My oldest (analogue) synth is the KORG Delta, and I also own a Roland RD-500 piano, and a MIDI connected Proteus FX unit. These are enough for me, but the temptation is, always there to buy a modern synth!

    This has to be one of the first times anyone saw a Paul Reed Smith guitar. His prototype was made in mid 80's - note the headstock where he hand signed the thing with gold sharpie and on back the serial no. was gold sharpie. Looks like a 10 top but with no birds on the neck maybe a CE 24?? Oh, were there synths in this video? I couldn't tell - the Adorn mousse was poisoning my eyes and ears.....

    That's so funny because as a 64 year old musician and Beatle fan (and ex employee of their record co here in h'wood) I think music died after early to maybe mid 70's. Lose the ENTIRE 80's - the 80s by far was the worst decade in history for music but if you tell me you still spin your Kate Bush vinyl I'll forgive you; if you talk CD then no- CDs came in the mid to late 80s - the real start of the end. WestEndBoysFlockOfFrankieGaryNumanPeterGabrielZigZigSputnikDoppelgangerPowerStation BULLSHIT SOUNDING TOYS - thanks TR808 and OB-X, Linn shit crap sound; with the lone exception of saving the eternally classic blues and rock-n-roll in the form of Stevie Ray and The Blasters and Los Lobos and save some punk - some Billy Zoom but lose the 80's fuck the entire 90's except a little grunge especially Nirvana for the guess what - 60's Beatle hooks and clever lyrics - fuck the double aughts fuck the 10s and all that ShitHopKanyéSwiftKaty doo doo - ahhhhh, I feel better now. Sorry, as Queen's first few LPs always said - "No Synths were used"

    cuda426hemi Sounds like you went completely senile and are on your death bed mumbling all the things you envied about the 80s and early 90s! Those times had the best music by FAAAAR, you old fool! HAAHAAHAA! Sure, the 70s and 60s had many great hits here and there, like, Black Sabbath's, "Die Young", and Jimi Hendrix's, "All Along The Watch Tower", but, there weren't that many great styles out there yet. It was all just mainly rock styles, man. But, the 80s was flooded with musical magic that created new, unique, fascinating styles using the power of synths and many innovative instruments! There was disco (Italo was the best), electro, industrial, house, new beat (I love this mean, cunning style), freestyle, techno (love this monster too), Eurobeat, trance, 80s metal that made more use of synths as well, and soooo many other awesome styles popping out everywhere! Bark at the Moon exploded in '83 and so did some of the best metal music ever made with killer solos! Synthesizers created an entire new world of music that brought out atmosphere and deeper dimensions for all styles, using beautiful complex pads and sounds never heard before! Drum machines also went into effect and created a different feel with new rhythms! Are you really still gonna talk about those nasal congested singers called, "The Beatles"!? HAAHAA!! Just kidding, but, all they had were guitars and some drums, dude. Their melodies were very nice but, weren't ever really adrenaline kickers. It's like people are over-fascinated with them only because of the history of the 60s, rather than by the actual feel of the music. Or maybe it's that they're too obsessed with their lyrics, but lyrics aren't what's actually important, it's the very music that's important because, it's a universal language that already can tell its own story. Poems are some other thing. Well, I'm sorry you didn't like 80s music. Too bad, man. It was a true golden age of music that was so big and great, it spilled into the early 90s.
