I consider Rob’s shop @Rosen Sound ground zero for anything relating to synthesizers. It’s also the biggest wonderland of vintage synths in perfect working order that you’ll ever see .
Rob is a self-taught technician and is now the world leader for repair, restoration, custom manufacturing and sales of vintage synthesizers. He’s also quite an accomplished musician programmer and keyboard player as well.

holy cow! This YouTube video is the future we were promised - television showing exactly what we want, instead of for the largest possible audience! Wunderbar!
-
This channel is steadily becoming one of the best synths channel on Youtube. I really really enjoy Anthony and his knowledge on things. I'm learning a lot of things about synthesis and arrangment.
-
Can confirm that this is one of the most magical rooms you’ll ever step foot in if you love synths.
-
Possibly the best two hours I have ever spent on YouTube. Thanks, guys.
-
This is one of the best synth videos I have ever seen. I remember coming across a cachet of 1970s magazines back in the 80s/90s and remember the initial UK reviews of the Prophet and CS80... the prices were similar to the price of a small terraced house in my town. I'd never really thought much of the CS80 until now... what an amazing timbre especially with the ring mod...
-
My eyes teared up a little when they turned the OBX8 voice around to see the back of it. Stendhal syndrome moment for sure. So beautiful. A chaotic marvel. God bless the geniuses that make these gorgeous soulful instruments. It's easy to forget the miraculous human achievements in the technologies that surround us every day. What a time to be alive.
-
I expect to see little Sims people walking around and screaming when Rob pulls out the "city" cards with parks and warehouses. Thank you both, Anthony & Rob!! What a rare treat to see the synths inside out.
-
What an utterly captivating 2 hours of informative video. To see the insides of these vintage analog synths, and hear from an expert on their inner workings, is pure entertainment.
-
SO much value. Thank you Anthony, I am 20 years old and only recently got into Michael Jackson and the 80s sound. You're truly a pioneer. As a musician, there is so much to unpack and to learn from and i'm very grateful to have firsthand access to this knowledge. I just wanted to acknowledge my appreciation for your stuff. Thank you. I hope this channel gets the platform it so deserves

There was this guy I bought a full Roland System 100 from in Sydney Australia, around 1997. His name was Dave... he honestly had 2 more full system 100's, Minimoogs, Korg PS-3100, Yamaha CS60... this was just the stuff I saw. The was a heap more there. He had a mixing desk from an radio station (Triple M), a massive wooden Marimba. At that time he lived in an old warehouse around the St. Peters area. He said he was in a band in the 80s that toured Japan.

I also own a EMS Sinthy A and a 909, sadly sold my mint 808 12 years ago and my 2600, yet own tons of jewels... and more to come. Prophet 2002+ coming from Germany now ( got 2 in the 90s), great trick yours with the 2600. I do with my Minimoog. Bob signed it for me in Barcelona one year before he passed away. Moog module with a real clock on it, funny!
-
This ruled. The ARP 2600 sounded better to me than the Moog Modular. Both were nice, ARP just sounds cooler to my ears.
-
22:00 and I thought the inside of my Hammond looked like a nightmare! Mad respect to the people who designed and built those machines!
-
P-Thugg! Love Chromeo, that was cool 👍
-
Awesome ❤❤❤❤
-
This is the most informative video I have ever seen on synthesis. I want to spend 8 hours talking with this guy! Freakin' guru!
-
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rob and Anthony! Phenomenal video guys! Genuine friendship vibes, and the depth of knowledge in your respective areas of expertise, kept us glued to the screen.
-
Officially one of my favorite videos on YouTube. full stop.
-
Rosen Sounds Synth Cabin is amazing! I would also love to see a tour of your studio!
-
Watched this live and really enjoyed it. Thanks, Anthony! I'm a career neuroscientist and professor who's also a musician and synth enthusiast. Digging all your content from both artistic and technical depth. Cheers from San Diego. 🧠🤘🏻
