Asynchronous Minimal Ambient with OP-1 field and norns shield | Confluence 2026-03-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-1, and norns shield. It is minimal ambient where overlapping asynchronous phrases gradually change.

On the OP-1 field, a 38 step phrase runs with the ENDLESS sequencer while reverb from ‪@strymon‬ blueSky is applied.

On the NTS-1, a square wave tone shaped with a filter is processed with delay and reverb, and sequenced by the SQ-1.

On the norns shield, a piano phrase is recorded into Graintopia with slight distortion and processed with granular synthesis. Delay and reverb from ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND are applied.

The three sound sources run without synchronization. Their timing differences create subtle changes in the evolving sound texture."

video upload by The Synth King

"Hi,
I had the pleasure to test the Donner Essential L1, a very powerful monophonic analog synthesizer quite similar to the Roland SH-101. I made some sounds, sequences and synth sketches. I used Valhalla Massive as delay and reverb. Enjoy the music !
Bernd"

video upload by Randy Piscione

"This is demo number 3 of the PM Foundations Variable Filter Bank. This is a two part video, starting with using one module animated by four LFOs (at 0:00), followed by two modules animated by eight LFOs in stereo (at 3:56). The second part really needs headphones."
