This video was EXTREMELY helpful and solidified my decision to purchase the Synclavier while demoing it. Clear and most of all very concise and TO THE POINT with little or even NO extraneous B.S. I can not tell you how refreshing it is to be able to watch something one time (.5 hour) then understand it, watch it again the following day - and have a very, very good grasp of how to program this vintage legend. THESE kind of demos are few and far between. Thank you SO MUCH for this!!!
Thanks for the great tutorial, Mr Darcey. In 30 mins. you comprehensively demystify each key feature of this monster synth, transforming the puzzled and overwhelmed novice into a budding master of the synthesist craft. ;-)
Great video! Usually I switch off talking synth demos long before the first 60 seconds are passed, but not in this case (must say I already knew some stuff about the Synclavier V). The whole video has audiovisual on so many dramatic sound changes, and is effectively a practical fast read-through of the manual. Proving it is true that a picture, or several frames of video / synclavier partial progressings, tell so much more than reading a lot of words. Thank you Mr. Darcey, and the Arturia wizards, for this video and for providing us with this recreation of a fantastic instrument and way of working with sound.
Love the Thomas Dolby "Flying North" cover! This is VERY helpful! Thank you soo much. But I can't help but mention that the inventor, Cameron Jones, pronounces it 'SynCLAYvier' not 'SyncluhVEER'. I'm sure you've heard this before. Sorry but my OCD won't allow me to keep my mouth shut on it.
I wish they included the sequencer and sampling of the original. Yeah most DAW could do it but if the CMI App could have a basic sequencer couldn't Arturia just have added it. What made it awesome was you could sequence stuff in real time as opposed to having to copy/paste and edit as you go with a modern DAW
Thanks so much. From the first time I heard the opening patch I was confused, frightened and absolutely captivated by this synth. It’s truly one of a kind in it’s sound and scope. I love it and now I understand how to use it a bit. I’ve been making strange sounds all morning. It’s crazy.
What’s interesting about the Synclavier, is how much of an influence it was to other synthesizers. I can see where Paul Nazca of ZynAddSubFX got the idea of building waves with partials. I can also see where Korg got the inspiration for the Wavestation with the ever evolving waves. I just recently purchased the V Collection, and I’m very pleased with the selection of synthesizers.Thank you Arturia for building a software version of a synth I would otherwise never be able to afford, much less own.
is it true that they use the synclavier for the THX logo " Deep Note " sound ? because it's one of the great example of massive sound, it's a bit like a juno alpha Hoover sound but with deeper sound ^^ and more complex layer.
Very effective video as I am beginning to explore the Synclavier V. From what I have seen and heard so far I'd like to say: this is an absolutely amazing instrument and really a brilliant piece of music software
i love this beast, sound very massive, FM synth is always complexe, but with the ability to convert sample to synth and the additive partial there a lot to do with it ^^ im very happy to buy the V collection for that and also Fairlight and somre rarity like the Synthi and Buchla.
Just got the v collection 7 and your videos are much aprreciated. The synclavier is one of the most complex synths I hae ever tried and the possiblilities just blows my mind.
It would be nice if the display would show what partials are being used in a sound. Maybe red for "selected" and green for "used but not selected," and the current unslected graphic would show not selected or used. If you wanted to get fancy, you could vary the brightness of the green color to show base volume level of the partial.
Just look at your beats per minute then line up your changes as per, for example at 60bpm you can use divisions of a second. If you were doing 90bpm you’d divide 60/90 getting divisions of approx .6 of a second ifyouknowwhatimean

Great video! Please make a series off of this and continue with your other amazing synths :D
"NEXT" on my Synth Plug-in purchases list!!!!

This thing looks innocent from the default "easy mode" window, but it's actually a sound design monster.

According to the auto-generated subtitles, this sink liver is one heck of an instrument!
Arturia needs an update that'll allow you to change the look, from the ORK to the VPK.
You've the synth turned right up and your voice right down.

Thanks for the tutorial. Which monitor are you using?

Really great tutorial, thank you. Just the right level of detail and all the content was really useful
I really have to start using my V-Collection. Instant inspiration...
Why no breath controller option in the modulation matrix?
0:04 FONC
GREAT tutorial. Thanks!
My brain is frying....in a good way...
it pretty much works like Serum
Did you ever demo Bit Depth?
Great tutorial, thanks!
Really good video thank you. Is there a way to get the timeline to be bar/beat based at all please?

Nice!
Cool
Make sure you spell check your titles!
