You do know that this is the very same room
where Dave Smith showcased the Rev 2 six years ago on Synth Expert's channel in the video "Dave Smith talks about the Rev 2 (Part 1 of 3)"? He played the same synths you just did and some of them were his personal belongings since the 1970s!
DoctorMix why do you keep your vintage Prophet5 and don’t go for a new Prophet5 with SourfaceMount circuitry (we know why 😉)?!
Now please go to Studio Electronics in California (or Soma Electronics) and show to the world how an Omega8 (or lyra 8) a proper ThroughHole hand matched PolySynth is done with 4 legendary discreet filters (moog, sem, jupiter8, CS80) 8part multitimbral and they still manage to keep similar price of a modern prophet, by doing this you would be honest to the audience but especially TRANSPARENT in helping people to not be miss lead by marketing tricks.
the sad story is that the modern Sequential produce synths exactly in the same way with the same type of machinery like Behringer do (tho ask 5 time more than behringer) because Sequential has to pay corporate bonus to CEO etc.
People think that they buy Vintage Sequential quality but the sad story is that they buy beautiful boxes from outside with the same pcb / components like behringer inside, remember that the circuitry/components make the sound not the beautiful “wood panels and shiny knobs”.
Considering that Tom Oberheim is one of the last original pioneers in the synthesizer world, it’s incredible that you got a selfie with him, Doc. To the best of my knowledge, the only author or editor who I’ve read acknowledging that Oberheim paved the way for Dave Smith to create his own synthesizers is late Professor and Moog collaborator Herbert A. Deutsch. In a sonic sense, the SEM and Four Voice both helped pave the way for what would be the Prophet 5. Herb Deutsch made that clear in the 1985 edition of his textbook, Synthesis.
Just a kid in the candy store. Thanks for taking us along.
They say 'Money can't buy happiness', but ever since I bought a Prophet 10 I've been happy!
Absolutely fascinating video, A great company with a great team.
David Gibbons comment about the Prophet 5 & 10, was exactly my thought process - why have 5 notes of polyphony when you can have 10. I wanted to be able to play it like I play a piano.
I had the honor of talking to Dave Smith on the phone 13 years ago when my Evolver failed . He sent me a free chip fix. Such a humble guy.
These tech people are like that, apart from people who exploit them.
I just had chills run down my spine seeing you actually meet, sit, and talk with Tom Oberheim! What an honor!
Passionate about synthesizers and computer science (I also develop in C/C++), it's great that you were able to interview the person who programs the software part of the Prophet. He really has my dream job!
Regards to everyone.
07:13 Developing embedded software in C with Eclipse and debugging real-time functions with hardware pins, that's how it should be!
Claudio and Sequential team, many thanks for the insight into this cool company!
Awesome man!!! So glad you noticed it. The music took me 2 days to assemble, and my guys had already worked on this for MONTHS! It’s been a work of love snd sweat 😅 Thank you for your appreciation
This is literally where the magic happens!
I've been there a few times 🎹🌉 R.I.P. Dave Smith 🙏🏼
fascinating video, thanks for sharing your visit with us
Great video! It’s amazing to think that Sequential manufacturing is right on the city, they still do repairs in their office, it’s so old school. What a great team, Carson who featured in your video helped me pick a synth at the store Robot Speak nearby (I hope you visited) I’m not even a musician I’m just fascinated by synths and walked out with a prophet 6! Great to see Dave Smiths legacy continue particularly under new ownership, I wish this company all the best.
Thanks for posting such a great video.
Carson's demo of the Pro3 was awesome
I really like how your videos have become a continuous audio experience that feels seamless throughout. Everything from the channel related reminders like when you tell us to hit the like button, the transitions between scenes, and the background music that fits the tone of the interesting content on screen feel so well fitted together. The audio experience edited into your videos are feeling quite a step ahead of other channel's on TH-cam these days. I've been a longtime subscriber and even longer viewer and I just love what your channel has become over the many years.
I'm really digging it, Doctor Mix!
I REALLY REALLY loved this one!!! And Tom Oberheim was there!!!!! My main man!!!! Thanks so much Claudio!!! Great job!!!
Had the fortune of meeting Dave Smith before he passed. He signed my Prophet Module at their offices in SF. Very nice man, and an engineer for which I always had high regard as the father of Midi.
Such a great video! I love your enthusiasm meeting Tom Oberheim & pure enjoyment of getting to lay hands on all those keys!! In front of Tom!!! Wow, what an incredible experience!!!! Thanx for the trip, it was perfect.
RIP DAVE SMITH. Tom oberheims long lost brother. They are both yin and yang in the synth world. two goats. perfect duo to take the synth world by storm in the 70s. with moog shortly before em both. my first synth was a dx7 then i jumped up to a prophet 5 just a month after XD.
Wow! There is something about the Trigon that is really nice- amazing having Tom Oberheim in the room.
"Do you know when an instrument is good? - when it pulls the Music out of you?" these words are so true and wise. I can only confirm this, still since over 40 years of music. Thx, so much for letting us be a part of this interview and looking behind the curtains at one of the the best Synth manufacturers.
Yeah!!!
16:57 This is exactly the way of making music that is really fun.❤😊👍👍👍👍
The non-menu synths are so much fun to play. Such a great idea of Dave to kill the screen.
Your energy is very smittening, Claudio! Always nice seeing you interact with people!
Absolutely amazing vid. Thanks for the tour! "Meeting" Tom was such a treat. Made me think of my teens, trying out the Oberheim DMX and the Sequential TOM in local music stores. Dreamy and unattainable machines. Oh, and I signed up to see the interview just now.
I have been following you for many years and your content is just insanely getting better and better ! Since your last trip in L.A. you walk with legends !
Amazing Claudio, such an incredible video! So happy you were able to visit Sequential, and meet Tom as well! It's a magical place, thank you for sharing with us!
This was really cool to see the factory. Tom Oberheim is super cool. I had the opportunity to chat with him on the phone once when he was servicing my MIDI SEM. He really loves to talk about synth tech.
Amazing man 🤘 Do you ACTUALLY realise that you’re making so much documented history in your content ? Your videos will be used as educational videos for our grand children, and generations to come. You make great footprints in history man - You are the best 😃😃😃
I appreciate that! Thanks man!
I am so envious that you met Tom Oberheim. He looks very cool. He and Dave Smith are two of my personal heroes. Thanks for the video.
Every time I watch one of your videos like this, I learn a bit of music and synth history and I love it! Thank you so much for the education!
Che spettacolo l’intervista a Mr Tom!!!! Anche la visita agli uffici e alla fabbrica. Sei un grande! Pensa fare queste interviste 20 anni fa quando erano tutti vivi, Smith, Moog, Taro. E poi l’orgoglio di vedere i bancali della Fatar 😊
Great to see the team and the space
Claudio sei il numero uno! Grazie per aver condiviso questa fantastica esperienza ❤️🙌🏼
Dude this is so cool. I must get up there to that factory.... I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Oberheim in the lobby of the Mariott hotel in Burbank during Synthplex a couple of years ago and he was unbelievably generous with his time. Wonderful fellow. I am crazy about this video!!
Passion and competence , I love doctor Mix ❤
I love this tour and the love of the people for synthesizers who work there and of course you Claudio!
*_Thanx Claudio, today is so much "ouhhh here", "wow ahhhh - there" ._*
You had me grinning ear to ear with water in my eyes and if you knew me you'd know that's odd, those sounds and getting to play in front of the guys...wow. This was so interesting as I like to see how things work and are made. What a great bunch of people at Sequential, so interesting and good to see them to put a human side to these dedicated people. I don't own a synth but would like to learn, I'm getting on in life and feeling the urge to splash out before I start loosing my mind although I don't know what to splash out on lol.
10:48 It's like Carson says, "Play these two notes," and then he does!😂😅🤣
Fantastic video.
And some spacial melody 10 sec later. I cannot recall the name of the song, where it comes from, though I'm sure I heard it. Please Dave or someone help 😊
I love this type of content. Factory visits, history of... Especially with Tom Oberheim thrown into the Mix!
What a coincidence! I just started enjoying my Prophet Rev2 after ignoring it for a long time. My first polysynth was a Prophet 600 I bought used in the '90s, so I have a soft spot in my heart for Sequential Circuits.
My favortite moment : Tom Oberheim asking you to teach him playing keyboard. 😀😀😀
Very cool and fun from him.
You are lucky man to being able to meet him and making a long interview.
In fact it is full of interesting moments, you are meeting a lot of smart and cool guys.
And for sure the synths sound great.
Still gorgeous synths after all these years.
A walk-through of Sequential including with these people present, wow!! Your playing was right on point - of course! So great to see their manufacturing still done locally - it's not normal now.
Thanks for this. I love Sequential so much. My Trigon-6 is in every single song I can put it in these days.
@DoctorMix - At 13:42 it's Moon Cresta tune from the arcade machine, or home computers. You can't fool us at Radio 6581, we know our chip music. Love the fact that you briefly repaired C64 computers as we specialize in playing SID (Sound Interface Device) music for the C64. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm, energy, and knowledge with all things synth. Have a great day from Northern Ireland and Radio 6581.
Claudio. You have such a terrific story and you’re so talented and knowledgeable. It makes me smile seeing you realizing your dreams! Everybody deserves that! ❤
13:52 that Trigon-6 patch sounds incredible. Like the sawtooth are literally burning. 🔥
This is absolutely amazing, interesting and cool! Loved to watch how synths are produced and the sound demo you made, the only thing missing on this video is Anthony Marinelli!!!
Once again amazing... your channel is like a journey where one wonders how could it be topped. And whoop there it is! I mean I'm subscribed here for way more than 10 years now. It wasn't too long when it was hard to imagine a synth channel might reach 100k subscribers. But like that it's less of a wonder to see you at 720 k now (for those who read this later, march 2024). Not that long anymore until there's a million. That's huge. I don't know how many keyboarders there actually are in the world. But it seems almost everyone subscribed here, even Tom Oberheim...
Aww thank you for your kind words and for watching my stuff for such a long time 🎉
Thank you for the experience of "behind the scenes" and hard work making this episode.
Very satisfying tour ( I'm sure the same with San Francisco Pizza).
Just as your last words on that video.....: I didn't expect this".
What a terrible thing that this video is only half an hour, it felt like five minutes thanks to your editing skills and the massive waves of informative contents, also geat that you featured the subscribing feature to your website to watch the whole interview, I didn't know that even that I'm subscribed to your TH-cam channel for years, you're so lucky for HAVING LUNCH WITH TOM OBERHEIM, let that sink in...
Very cool video. Not only seeing you, the sequential team, and Tom, but also the assembly of all the components.
Bravo, Claudio. And what a true gentleman, the Maestro Tom Oberheim. You are blessed to have met him.
🕺🙌🙏❤️
I worked for a small electronics manufacturer out of college in the 00s, and while the whole company would have fit in a fraction of sequential's production space, the production flow was substantially similar. Good techs are more precious than gold, especially final checkout, and I hope the designers and developers spend regular time collecting feedback from people working the production lines.
Great rendez-vous !!! 😊
Love the sound and vintage look of my OBX8 and Prophet 10.
Seeing the big T and his magical smile made this from an amazing video to a treasure. Also seeing the factory made me happy about owning this instruments
Super cool video - what a treat to see this amazing Sequential factory, and to meet Tom Oberheim in person!
super cool. Nice they do all the servicing in-house in SF too
Fantastic! I love the fact my OBX8 is made in USA and in the same factory as P5. Italian designed keys is a nice bonus as well.
Great tour Dr Mix love it all the best
Tom Oberheim , wow!!. My dream is to own 1 Sequential Synth in my life. the factory is massive. Love it!!
This is too cool! And everyone there seems like the nicest people!
Fun fact, i actually went to san Francisco for a week but i was never able to find sequential, oh well…
Mad respect for these guys, i still have my dsi mopho x4
For some reason I imagined these synths being made in a small garage somewhere. Boy was I wrong!
Wow, I am living out some of my boyhood dreams through you with your recent videos. Anthony Marinelli and now this. Incredible! I've been subscribed for a long time and your videos just keep on getting better. You must be (should be) really proud of yourself Doctor Mix.
Excellent stuff!.. Loving these manufacturer tours, and the enjoyment you get. Meeting Tom looked like a dream come true for you 😎👌
What a great video! Thanks!!! And meeting this sweet humble legend Mr Tom Oberheim...oh man....that´s like meeting Herbie, Chick or Joe Z. What an honour and joy it must have been for you. 💚😊
Spectacular & fascinating video, Claudio - well done & thanks.
Now that's a great content about Sequential !! cheers for this
Excellent video it was very exciting to see inside a Synthesizer factory.
Tom Oberheim, a giant among giants.
You are a very lucky man being able to meet Tom Oberheim, playing some music for him, getting an interview, seeing how all those keyboards are made, AND coming to America and San Francisco. How many keyboards did you go home with??🤪🤪 Great Video!! Keep them coming!!
Мира, Добра и Здоровья всем пацакам!
All your videos seem so fun and genuine.
Absolutely brilliant on every level! A super big THANK YOU for doing this one x
The job of my dreams......❤
I was in *San Francisco* last month. I wish I had time to go visit there...
But there was a room fool of _Rhodes_ and _Wurlitzers,_ where I was, so that's OK! 😀
Great episode! My first analogue synth was DSI Mopho 💛💙
There have always been two passions in my life - music and electronics. As a music-loving EE (Circuit and PCB Design), you can't imagine the impact this video has on me. Wow, what great content... Many years ago I probably lacked the courage to get involved in a company like Oberheim - what a dream!
A look inside the inside! Love it Dr Mix!
10:53 Sounds like those are exactly why I’m itching to add a Prophet 10 to my arsenal. Nothing quite like it, especially with The Doc himself on Keys! 😎🙌🏼
Dude! Epic! Behind the scenes of history 😊
awesome video, meeting mr oberheim must have been just so thrilling! :)
but also a big shout out to midi-ox, as seen at the end of the video. this has been one of the most powerful tools since 20..25 years or so, and although it has been discontinued several years ago and there is no comparebel alternative around yet (afaik), i am happy that it is still possible to use it.
Just started watching. What an amazing vlog Thanks Claudio
What a great video Claudio !!! Remarkable as always ! Love your channel !
Dude Met Theeee Tom Oberheim so coooooollll
Just a fantastic video! Thank you!
Amazing and impressive, especially the look into the factory. Many thanks Claudio !!
Trigon-6 sounding awesome there!
Truly awe inspiring! Keeping the entire world rocking.
best reportage with fatar keybords, amasing, thanks !!!
I was discovered to have an orphan disease when I discovered your channel, you helped me get back into shape! THANKS !
The killer combos for me here were the OBX8 and Prophet-10 10:33 and the Trigon with the Prophet-6 14:15. P6 is the sweetest sound that is so musical and the P5 and P10 have been legends for decades for the same reason.
They’re all amazing
DUDE, IT'S JUST LIKE AS IF OU MET SANTA CLAUSE HIMSELF! WOOHOOO!
Awesome to see Mr. Oberheim.
You had some deep and tasty sounds going on in that demo room, Dr.
Very well done, Claudio, thank you!
Loved this tour thanks dr mix
Would be great to hear what the future of Sequential holds without Dave, who is greatly missed. I think they can keep making the existing Prophets and Oberheims for a long time. But what, if anything, do they plan to make in the future? Also hope your interview with Tom will be on TH-cam eventually.
I didn't expect the Sequential factory to be so big. It's nice to see where my OB6 was built.
