Korg Polysix
Korg Poly800.
Not real synth, but my first keyboard was a Casio MT-70 and then I went on to a Yamaha PSR-400 lol
Later came Roland MC-303 and Korg Electribe A...
The awesome possibilities that came (albeight a real PITA programming) was with Yamaha's FB-01. I still keep all my gear
Yamaha CS1X, still have it and want to sell it hahaha
I've still got a Yamaha CS1X too - in fact you can see me playing it in my Soundcloud image!

That was the sweetest music deal any of us will likely ever come across! :-)
My first synth, by the way, was a Roland JV-1010. Although it had the ability when used with software to actually create and save patches, I thought of it and treated it basically as a 640 preset sound module. :-) It was such a pain to program it, and I'll never again buy a synth that requires all programming to be done through software and not on the device itself! I like the sounds of it though! :-)

Nice!!! I bet it's worth a LOT today!!!
@Audiojunkie said:
Yes it would if I hadn't sold it to a local school music department for £350 in the 90s!
First synth, Microkorg. My most recent purchase, Microbrute.

You must often kick yourself for that :-/
CAT by Octave. It was an Arp Odyssey rip off.

That box can make some crazy sounds. I let mine go a few years back but I used to hook it up to some shareware librarian with a random button and be amazed.
@AlterEgo_UK said:
Severely jealous. I would look amazing playing one of those. Just saying.
@syrupcore said:
Well here's what I looked like playing it back in the 80s!
Also, note the other synths in our band (Forgotten Heroes): Korg MS10 and a little Casio VL-Tone!
And here's what Dave Lawson of Greenslade looked and sounded like playing his in the 70s!
Can't believe I found the actual performance that inspired me to get the ARP Odyssey!
(shame about the poor quality video and sound though!)
Can we hear Forgotten Heroes?
@michael @sebastian If people upload photos directly, you can't see them on the mobile version (like @AlterEgo_UK's sweet fro two posts up). There's a setting for FileUpload (
'MobileFriendly') that I wonder if you'd consider setting to'MobileFriendly' => TRUE... It appears to be set to TRUE by default so maybe you guys turned it off for a reason. Or maybe that's not it at all! I'd rather have AB2 but if it's possible on your next round of forum tweaks, it'd be nice. I generally browse the forum on my phone.http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/25780/fileupload-doesnt-work-on-mobile-theme

@syrupcore: Thanks! Done! (It wasn't there - I added it)
@syrupcore said:
OK...you asked for it!
We recorded these on an Akai 4000DS, Sound-on-Sound Reel-to-Reel tape recorder and these uploads (from our other keyboard player's SC) are from cassette tapes taken from that so again, sorry about the sound quality:
We had keyboards at school - the Casio ones with presets! - but my first experience of a programmable synth wasn't hardware, it was Korg DS-10 for the Nintendo DS. I had a lot of fun with that and it gave me the bug for synths, but I could never justify spending the amount of money it would take for actual hardware. So I've found the iPad to be a revelation!
Thanks @michael!
@AlterEgo_UK wtf, this is awesome! If I found this used in a record shop I'd have thought I found an unknown 80s synth pop treasure and woulda bragged to my friends. Would be fun to have at the original multitracks!
@syrupcore said:
lol even we don't have access to the 'original multitracks'! They were recorded Sound-on-Sound i.e. overdubbed and we made cassette copies on my stereo. We didn't even use a mixer, just an old tape echo (Watkins Copycat) which gave us simultaenous 2 channel input - and later we graduated to an Evans Echopet echo but still only 2 simultaneous inputs
I did have a go at re-recording some of them on my PC and even a couple on my iPad, playing all the parts myself and using some different instrumentation. Here are some so you can compare (the cover art was a recreation, when we all met up again in 2009, of an original photo we had from the 1980s):
@AlterEgo_UK Ah, I missed that 'sound on sound' in your first post. That makes it ever cooler! I used to do that with two cassette decks. One was a little faster though so I'd have to start with the pitch down and retune on each pass. I got pretty good at it (and remembering to brighten the shit out of the first passes). Thinking on it, I kind of miss it.
long time ago......:-)
it was a Doepfer MS404 monophonic analog Synth, and the best, you cant Save any Sounds.....if you want to repro your sound you have to learn why this is happening......best teacher!
Teisco 60f in 1994 (my first analog love):
Teisco, wow, I've never heard of that brand. My 1st synth with analog presets was in 1986 and it was an Italian synth. I remember that it had a dark grey casing with red text. You couldn't read the parameters on a low light stage. The text seemed to vibrate almost.
@Martygras Jem? Farfisa??
Man, I've been racking my brain. I think maybe it was called a Tempo or Tiempo or something like that. It sounded similar to one of the early Juno's though.
