Anthony & Kevin, thank you for this!
I caught the Synclavier bug in grad school in the 90s (the fact they had a Synclavier II seriously influenced my decision to go there). I spent a lot of time with it over a couple of years. I now see how I only scratched the surface of its capabilities. Even so, I loved working with it and have come close to buying a system a number of times. When Cameron announced the Regen, I bought one as soon as I could.
Your Synclavier vids have helped me to get up and running as quickly as possible. I've been using them as tutorials and have been attempting to translate what you've been doing to the Regen. I've also been tearing into the factory libraries (thanks for your great patches!) to see how these timbres are constructed.
My Regen has already proven itself indispensable for music and theatrical sound design projects. Thanks for your timely help!

It's exciting to hear that the Arturia "emulation" I already own is in fact not an emulation, but the actual code of the Synclavier. I'm excited to dig into it more - particularly the resynthesis engine. You weren't kidding; What a brilliant and exciting instrument, even all these decades later.

OMG,,, I can't believe I'm watching this. This the real MARTIN ROYER and I remember the day that was made (25:20 in the video). I was an NED Employee working there in tech support. It was a total dream job and I miss those days so much. I remember how cool Kevin was as the lead Product Specialist in LA. He was (and still is) an awesome person and musician. HI KEVIN! And of course there wasn't a synclavier person that didn't know the name Anthony Marinelli. He and his music partner were Synclav geniuses. HI ANTHONY!

Anthony your channel has become essential viewing. Your song breakdowns are not only very educational, they capture the moments with the artists when the songs were conceived. Add to this the deep insights you give into the role the Synclavier played on the track and also how the Synclavier system works. For me the Synclavier has always been shrouded in mystery until now. I can’t thank you enough for making these videos and please keep making them for as long as you can please.

Fantastic video! I remember hearing about the amazing Synclavier in the early '80s. Stevie Wonder and Tony Banks did some amazing work with them. It's a joy to hear the stories presented here from you guys. So amazing that Synclavier is alive and well in 2023 with their ReGen product! Looking forward to more videos. I can't wait for a lengthy and informative video on your favorite synthesizer, Anthony...the ARP 2600!

Thriller and Bad certainly had a couple of football teams worth of talented sessions musos, synth nuts and cowriters. As talented as MJ was, these albums definitely were a team effort.
