I'm a keen user of Godin Muliacs with my Roland GR-20 and Boss GP-10 guitar synthesizers.

Vintage guitars - not so much!

I meant "vintage synths, with a wall of patch cables. However, I did see one of the last Emerson Lake and Palmer concerts, and I definitely saw some patch cables though!

Right. Yes, Keith Emerson used to work something that looked like an old telephone switchboard!

"ELP-7999 how may I direct your call?"

Thanks for posting that video blue. I enjoyed it.

There has been a somewhat recent resurgance of interest in modular synthesis where modern players are using discrete modules and patching them together physically like in the OPs video. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_synthesizer

Appreciated the video too.

I at least skim some EDM media sources, and well -- there are folks who enjoy using old synth hardware. They exist. And there are even modern "reissues" that attempt to continue some of those designs.

There are also a great many virtual instrument simulations of the old hardware or the concepts that hardware were utilizing. Not a synth, but a sampler, but I have no desire to deal with the old hardware quirks of a Mellotron, but I sure love working with my VI emulations of them.

If one thinks that nowadays the idea of knobs and patch cables and elaborate switching systems are intolerable, consider of how many electric guitars work with complex pedal boards made up of modules, knobs, patch cable and sometimes elaborate switching systems....
