Mid-Century Modern Synth Sounds on Modern Synth

This video, via androidvision, takes a look at recreating the mid-century modern synth sounds ofMort Garson’s Plantasia.

While Garson used a large Moog modular system, this video demonstrates how the iconic sound of that album is less a result of the synth than Garson’s sound design choices.

The video shows how you can recreate the Plantasia sound using a Korg microKorg – one of the cheapest and most widely-available modern synths. It also shows how a handful of sound design parameters are key to recreating Garson’s vintage synth sound.
