🌌 Parallels | Moog Matriach Ambient Performance (analog synth track)
video upload by SOUNDS OF SYNTH
"Cinematic ambient music — atmospheric synth soundscapes for deep, immersive listening.
Happy Sunday!
This track is called, Parallels. Perhaps there are an infinite number of us's, every possible combination of possibilities playing out at the same time. Parallel Universes.
----------------------
Inspired by cinematic soundtracks, Berlin-school electronic music, modern ambient composition and nature.
All my music is created with hardware synthesizers, VST Synths (Pigments V) and atmospheric sound design tools (Soma Cosmos / Mood Mk2). No AI is used either in my music or in my videos.

Cast Away (Elektron Digitone // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S-1 // Teenage Engineering KO Sidekick EP 136)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"1 track, 3 machines, a little over 5 minutes. 🎛️
Back with the same setup as *Live at Home 2*: the Elektron Digitone, MFB Tanzbär and Roland S-1. This time, though, it's one continuous piece rather than a collection of patterns and ideas.
All three instruments are connected to the **Teenage Engineering KO II Sidekick EP-136**:
Channel 1: MFB Tanzbär - punchy analog drums
Channel 2: Elektron Digitone - all the synth parts, plus some FM percussion
AUX input: Roland S-1 - Bass
The MIDI chain is pretty straightforward: Digitone to S-1 to Tanzbär.
The Digitone sequences the S-1, while the Tanzbär runs its own internal sequencer.
Things get a little more… unpredictable during the second half of the track, where I start playing around with the Sidekick's Loop effect to create all sorts of drum breaks.
It was an absolute pleasure to play with - perhaps a little too much of a pleasure, judging by how often I kept using it! 😄
But hey, sometimes you find an effect that makes you want to keep pushing it just a little further.
Hope you'll enjoy this one!
As always, the performance was recorded in a single take. I mixed and mastered the individual tracks afterwards in Ableton Live."

SLOOP transforms the M-VAVE FM-1 into a compact, hands-on groovebox for creating electronic music. Version 2.6 brings a bunch of exciting additions, so let's see what they can do in practice!
I'll explore selected new features, demonstrate how they work, and play some loops to show SLOOP 2.6 in action on the M-VAVE FM-1.

Third Wave Terminal - Groove Synthesis - Brooklyn SPEXPO 26
video upload by sonicstate
"Andrew from Groove Synthesis gave us a look at Third Wave Terminal, the new librarian and editor software for the Third Wave synth family. The range now includes the 24-voice desktop, 8-voice desktop and flagship keyboard versions. The software is planned for release very soon.
Third Wave Terminal includes a patch editor with many synth parameters visible at once. Edits made on the synth update on the computer, and edits made in the software update on the hardware. The editor also shows animated wavetable position movement across the three oscillators while notes play.
The librarian manages patch banks, downloads and transfers, with drag-and-drop loading to the synth and double-click auditioning. The wavetable editor includes visualisation, waveform drawing, interpolation and auditioning before transfer. The sample editor loads WAV files and edits start, stop, loop points and gain.
Third Wave Terminal is free for Third Wave owners after account creation and product registration on the Groove Synthesis website.

These were demonstrated with the help of Fox playing on an iPhone app.

Cosmodio HoroscopeMad Pedals! Brooklyn SPEXPO 26
video upload by sonicstate
"We spoke to Barton from Cosmodio Instruments about Horoscope, the company's newest pedal, with Steve May playing electric violin through the effects. The company now has five pedals, including Pet Yeti, Gravity Well, Glitch Witch and Splinter Twin, but the focus was the newly released Horoscope.
Horoscope is a stereo delay and reverb effect described as an echo sequencer. It turns echo trails into evolving rhythms and melodies by stretching and compressing them in time. It can work as a lush reverb or rhythmic delay, and its sequencer jumps between time divisions manually or at a chosen step rate. Patterns include arpeggiations, fixed 6, 8, 10, 12 or 16-step pseudo-random sequences, and drift, which mutates repeating patterns over time.
Horoscope includes presets, tap tempo, full stereo operation, and customisable CV or expression control over every parameter. It is available now for $349 USD.

Pattern Keeper Looping | Ambient Guitar Soundscape
video upload by The Pedalboard Orchestra
"Pattern Keeper Looping with Lo-Fi Modulation
A guitar melody is sent through the JHS Notaklön and Walrus Audio ACS1 (Fullerton Amp) and loop-recorded with the Native Audio Pattern Keeper.
From there, the loop runs in stereo through the lo-fi modulation of the Kinotone Ribbons and Chase Bliss Lossy, with the Alexander Pedals Forget Me Not adding delay before the signal reaches the Eventide Space (ModEchoVerb algorithm).
I'm playing with the filter on the Pattern Keeper, reversing the loop and slowing down the speed/pitch to create darker vibes, real time modulated with the Chase Bliss Lossy.
Signal chain:
Fender EJ Stratocaster → JHS Notaklön → Walrus Audio ACS1 → Native Audio Pattern Keeper → Kinotone Ribbons → Chase Bliss Lossy → Alexander Pedals Forget Me Not → Eventide Space
