@@iamyourfuture808 I cannot deny my accent. 😝

Hey Gerald, thanks and I will start working on it! Thanks again for watching.

Both amazing musicians.

Sampling is so much fun. Today I use the Digitakt but I love the E-Mu Emax II because that was my first sampler.

It is a wonderful machine. I have 2 of them and love them.

Love the reference!

My pleasure and thanks for watching!

Harold Faltermeyer was also an avid user of the Yamaha DX7, especially when producing iconic soundtracks for movies like Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop, as well as working with artists such as Patti LaBelle and Bonnie Tyler. However, he maintained a significant collection of analog synthesizers from his work in the late 1970s, which is evident in footage of him collaborating with Giorgio Moroder. While some digital instruments were used during the production of the Pet Shop Boys' Behaviour album, the focus was largely on incorporating "old" hardware and analog synths.

@@NostalgicExplorer Maybe some reverse engineering of the DX7 happened and digital oscillators (carriers/modulators were stripped of numbers. Hah

​@@michael69040😆 if they didn't do it on that album I am going to apply it in my music 😂

Thanks for watching!

Is it? Are they?

Underrated is overrated. Marr's work is well acknowledged​@@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx

That's why I found it important to mention him in this video. Also thanks to this collaboration the PSB was part of Electronic with Bernard Summer (New Order).

I don't think it is. He played on two tracks. I would say his contribution is...rated.

I am sure you will find one if you keep looking for it.

@@Mylca Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoyed this video. That is one of my favorite albums by the PSB as well.

All time fave? How interesting and hard to understand

Behaviour is the best!

@@SenorTropiCat thank you so much for watching and I love that collaboration with Angelo Badalamenti, it adds such a refinement to this album

Thank you so much for your comment! And let me know your comments if you listen to it!

@NostalgicExplorer I will.

why not? PSB is one of the greates bands ever!

@@SenorTropiCat 🤣🤣🤣

@@Gerald_Daniel ?

I get your point, I am actually not super into Progressive Rock but I decided to give it a try, as you said, it is not that I am going to become a huge fan but is interesting to listen and imagine how they use synths to create their music. I love ELO by the way.

I love The Damned

I totally agree with you. Even if you later hear Rock the Casbah or The Magnificent Seven and also Love Will Tear Is apart you can hear the influence.

@@DaveS71 you are absolutely right! Thanks for watching

@@NostalgicExplorer Dang, man. This vid isn't getting the interest it seems it should. Maybe it's too specific a topic but I see the merit.

​@@DaveS71 I mean the video is made with my love for synthesizers and music and to share a bit of history behind it. Whoever watches it I hope they like it as much as I enjoyed making it.

@@NostalgicExplorer Fair enough. I was just saying it deserved some more recognition, but it is a pretty specific topic.

​@@DaveS71Yes, I guess it is very specific 😊

@@Shred_The_Weapon what are you waiting. Go for it!

It is. 😅

@@PolaBurrr if there's a lawyer around it will be great to help us clear this out 🙂

Amazing machine that this time could somehow replace drummers. The real drums are quite good.

@NostalgicExplorer Yes, it resembled more or less state of the art around that time.

@@Gerald_Daniel indeed!

Actually nothing. I turn it up and it is ready to use. How about yours?

@NostalgicExplorer I'm looking to pick one up. It seems fine, but it takes 5to8 seconds to power up. I'm hoping it's just an old beast that needs a moment to wake up. I've got lots of old amps that take a minute. Just hoping it isn't a potential power supply issue. I REALLY want to pick it up.

@@williamwilsonofficial1519 5 seconds doesn't seem bad, but it could be a battery related issue more than a power supply one.

Thanks for watching!

@@NostalgicExplorer I really appreciate it.

Both great songs

That too! 😊

Exactly! That’s why I mention it’s for collectors-at its price, there are plenty of new and vintage machines that can do the same. Someone didn’t like that I focused on collectors over music makers, but of course, you can make music with it! For me, though, with its short production run and unique history, it’s really a collectible.

@@user-rv8wb1nl1b mostly it is the history behind it, well at least for me.

It is a great machine. I highly recommend having one.

I know this is a mystery to me

That's funny because it is mark as a clave.

@@NostalgicExplorer That's strange because in tuning zero it's doubtlessly a a rim shot.

​@@Gerald_Daniel Yes, or maybe that's the version they could get of a "clave" when they build it? Now I am intrigued to find out about other LM-1 machines.

@@NostalgicExplorer Cool! On a simple Kawai K1 II when the rim shot is pitched down it's knocking is quite close to those of the Linns. That unexpected behavior totally blew me away in 1990.

I know, I particularly like horizontal better. Here you can see the horizontal version: th-cam.com/video/mAXKhgbgRF0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7vB4lzRH0RP7h-8Z

Thank you so much!

Well, you've definitely got two classic drum machines that are still in use today. I love the LM-1, but the 909 and 808 are truly iconic.

Yes, soon to be released!

It is crazy. I have been offered more than that, but I do not buy synths to make a profit, I love having and using these machines I always wanted to have since I was a teenager.

@@NostalgicExplorer I must advise you to sell it if you can get a price like that , did you see behringer have done their remake - soon to arrive - obv it will be no good , but on the back of that others will get their chips and remake some good copies.... you must sell it if you can get 10k - it will go down in price and only be worth 3k next week , or the week after.

@@justinb9387 Yes, I heard about it, but I am not interested in selling it. I love the history behind it. I love there is more access to it at a nice price though.

Agree. There are many good vst plug ins & samples available and much cheaper.

@@Ashfaq1999 Absolutely, there are so many great options today and way more portable. Cheers!

Yes, I have been using the sounds on the Logic Pro, and they sound really good. Well, I thought I would never own one in my life, but the opportunity showed up one day, and I couldn't believe it until it arrived at my home. I even thought it was a scam. 😆

He used both of them according to what I found.

Yes, it would be a great machine if it had the ability to pitch its sounds. Noce combo there with the Yamaha PSS-790.

@@NostalgicExplorer I also have a TR-707 that I bought in July 2024 and will probably use that one more than the TR-505. I do also plan on getting a TR-626 maybe next year as I have lost out on that one a couple of times, the TR-626 is similar to the TR-505 but you can actually pitch the sounds on the TR-626. Part of the reason I bought the TR-707 was because I was recently outbid on a TR-626.

@@LittleRichard1988 the 707 has amazing sounds, a great purchase. I like the 626 over the 505 but in the end all of them have their cool features and sounds. Good luck finding the 626!

having owned a real linn drum, DON'T spend money like that in a world where you can have the sounds for next to nothing. It is throwing money away on a status piece. It offers NO musical advantage.

Hey, you can hear the sound range in the video and hear the sound variation. I'd say that is a bit more of the 50% if I understood your question right. I haven't tried the Luma and yes, it is expensive, I wish they put a lower price tag on it.

@@morbidmanmusic Am i right in thinking this drum machine is just playing back eprom samples ? so surely just a sample pack on an MPC would do this AND MORE ? where is the magic ? is it the UI interface , the timing ? i just don't get it ?

Yes, it is also a very stable machine and easy to learn.

Yes, it is also very stable and quick to learn as you said.

Indeed, cheers!

I want to think that whoever owned it before me, replaced the congas for extra toms.

Thank you Gerald and having separate samples with different tunes helps a lot. It feels great though to be able to manually tune it and one of the reasons why it is hard to emulate.

Hey, thank you so much for watching! As a music maker, I find it really difficult to justify spending $15K on a drum machine. I was lucky enough to get mine at a ridiculous price. Honestly, even back in the days when I was signed to a major label, I wouldn’t have had the courage to buy a machine at the kind of prices they're going for today. There are other alternatives out there, just like with synths such as the CS-80, Jupiter 8, and others. For me, it's a holy grail, but each producer has their own. I use it a lot and have produced some great tracks with it. Cheers!

I've been at this for about 20 years. I don't hear anything in Roger Linn's machine that makes it 'special', 'exclusive' or specifically 'necessary' when compared to what one can achieve with contemporary drum machines, grooveboxes and samplers in the year 2024. The LM-1 was an amazing machine in the early 80s.. but it's kinda superfluous today!! I think the 15K price for a device that is largely only special because of its history is why the presenter is saying he recommends the LM-1 mostly just for collectors. Elitism at its best. Electronic music makers can make very similar percussion sounds/beats using a plethora of devices out there now, including the 'Digitakt', the 'MC-707', the 'Drumlogue' or an 'MPC'... and save themselves a bunch of coin.

@@Necrobot777 Totally agree! Samples of the LM-1 are going to sound identical in a mix.
