Have some good speakers or headphones for this one! In this episode, I explore the use-cases and features of various unique synthesizers around my studio and walk down the timeline of Roland synths.

Dear Followers,

A question and comment that I get asked a lot is; These synths are worth a fortune; Yes, now they are!

1 The trick is to buy this stuff when its dirt cheap and easy available. I bought most of mine in the 80's early nineties. No one had an idea that these would come back into fashion and people sold synths for nothing. I mean really for nothing. A ps3300 Korg would sell for 300$. Now I saw recently one on eBay for 30.000 Pounds ( 40.000$). Nobody wants to pay that money for something like that! That is exactly the reason why I do not own certain synths. I would like to have them but I am not willing to pay that insane money. E.g. I do not own a roland 303. I would love to have one but I will not pay $4.000 for a synth that should cost $100. Arp 2500; $250.000, Really? That is a house!

Now I am buying gear that was released in the 90's and 2000's. Dirt cheap; easy to get.... Who knows in 40 years what they are worth. $50-$250 will buy you heaven.

But Value is not the point here. I use them, I love them, I cherish them. They are my soul to making music and they keep me inspired!

Love you all for watching these tutorials!
