Deeply Flawed, Utterly Charming: RMIF TI-5 Synthesizer

video upload by HAINBACH

"The RMIF TI-5 "Digital Keyboard", an 8-Voice analog/digital hybrid synth, is little known, even in former Soviet countries. As they did on the ES-2-5 drum machine I covered here before, it seems that the engineers in Riga took a look at what Roland was doing, taking inspiration from the Juno-line. Unlike the famously sturdy Japanese instruments, the TI-5 was built rather haphazardly, with bad clones of western chips managing the voices and processing. That is why only few survived the test of time. Yet despite its shortcomings it sounds utterly charming, managing both deep Moog-basses, vast evolving pads and chiptune leads.

Crazy Chicken Modular SHRIMPY filter musical demonstration

video upload by Fedir Tkachov Music

"Musical exploration of new eurorack filter by Crazy Chicken Modular - SHRIMPY."

Shrimpy is a fully analog multimode voltage-controlled filter with three simultaneous audio outputs: low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass. It was designed with a strong focus on character rather than neutrality.

The resonance is voiced to emphasize midrange frequencies, giving the filter a present, expressive tone that cuts through a mix. At higher settings, it becomes vivid and assertive without collapsing into thinness.

At the heart of Shrimpy lies an unusual distortion chain integrated directly into the filter core. This distortion adds a pleasant crunch, enriching the sound. When pushed further, it can turn glitchy and rustling, introducing rough textures and unstable edges that make the filter feel alive. It should be noted that the distortion sound characteristics will depend on the Shrimpy settings and the input signal, since distortion occurs in the filter core itself, rather than at its input or output.

All parameters are fully voltage-controllable:
Cutoff frequency (with and without attenuator)
Resonance
Distortion amount

This makes Shrimpy a flexible yet opinionated sound processing tool, well suited for experimental patches, aggressive basses, textured leads, drones, and evolving soundscapes."

Garden - Phantasmal Force, Zoia, N-Synth Super

video upload by Arman Bohn

"You can check out my devices here: https://distropolisgoods.com/

Another sketch for an OST I've been working on. This run is a little more chaotic than the final track will be.

The Phantasmal Force is sending a slowly evolving sequence of 7 notes. I'm periodically changing the probability that a note will sound and the overall root octave for the sequence.

The N-Synth Super is the sound source and I'm dragging my finger across the touch pad to "morph" the sample sets determined by knobs in the four corners. I'm also playing the amp envelope. It's a strange beast and lacks some very basic features that I'm temped to add myself (CC control of the touch pad for one) - but I really don't have that kind of time. I'd also like to install the toolset to create my own banks ... but oh well. Who knows!

The Zoia is running a live granular patch I made that slowly pans and randomly slows down/speeds up the grains while modulating most of the grain parameters."

Teo 5 Mayhem with Jexus.

video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)

"Evil, Brutal, Dark, Moody, Fragile sounds of the Oberheim TEO-5. No talking demo by Jexus. Just sounds recorded straight from the synth."

"See soundsets for all my synths in one place:
► https://payhip.com/jexus"

"My patches come under the name 'WCOG + number' in a soundbank saved as a sysex file. You can use any midi manager (like the free MIDI-OX for example) to import my soundset into your TEO-5. I did not use any external FX in the demo; all the delays, reverbs, noises, crackles and other effects are part of the TEO-5 engine & mod matrix."
