Hardware or software is the question. Analog modeling implies software, but that can be in hardware of course. Check out the demo teasers below. Be sure to enable audio via the speaker icon on the bottom right of each player after starting.
"Another quick video with the Piston Honda 3, similar patch to before, this time showing off the dirtier side. PH3 into Korgasmatron, Double Andore, Dubmix with each voice slightly panned left and right, Strymon Timeline and Meris Mercury 7. Drive turned up on the Korgasmatron. LFOs from Errogenous Tones Radar and second Double Andore. Each voice in unison mode. Half way through there's some audio rate mod of the 3 axes of the PH."
"The NESK-1 will turn your Nintendo NES into a playable 8 bit synthesizer!
All settings can be adjusted without a TV.
Works with original Nintendo controllers.
4 controller Adaptor Required. (NES Four Score or Satellite)"
"We demonstrate some of the programming features of the Korg Volca FM synthesizer by deconstructing the factory preset E Piano (from the original DX7 as well as every wedding and bar/bat mitzvah in the 1980s).
We go through some basic information of FM synthesis, show some deep-parameter editing, as well as real-time control and sequencing of algorithms. In a future video, we will show how to control such parameters from an external sequencer, something which was very challenging on the original Yamaha FM instruments.
"This is a 4 part demo with the Korg Monologue. All drums + monophonic sounds + FX sounds were made with the monologue, except Part 1, the drums were made with the MFB Tanzbär light.
A few polyphonic sounds ( chords + pads ) were played with the Korg Minilogue.
As usual multitrack recording + fx."
"I had to do a 'Stranger Things' theme cover.
Seems that everybody is doing it, and when the themesong is made with classic synthesizer i had to do it.
equipment used:
Roland jx-03
Korg ES2
Moog Sub Phatty
Novation Mininova"
Today I am showing my prototype Spring Tank Reverb module. It's a driver for old school spring tanks like those found in vintage mixers and guitar amplifiers. The driver module has controls for Drive, Tone brightness and darkness, wet/dry mix, and an input for sending CVs to control the wet/dry mix. I'm using an envelope for CV, Beatstep Pro for trigger sequencing, and beats are coming from the Future Retro Transient. I also run the signal through my dual channel compressor, using a trick where both channels are cascaded for additional compression. I also briefly punch in some delay from Timefactor. Audio was recorded direct to Tascam through a Mackie mixer."

Two Instruments and two Oscillators in the Mixer section. Interesting. I'm guessing the Instruments are sample based. Or is it something different? That piano does sound good. What is that under Sync 1>2. Loop 1&2? Listen to how it morphs the sound. Crazy. Hmm...
"For our second monthly modular event we had Os from Expert Sleepers down to show us through his deep range of modules.
From interfacing with the software world through the swiss-army capabilities of the Disting and the new General CV. Plenty of tricks, tips and information.
Elevator Sound run Down To The Wire on a monthly basis as a free event in our store in Bristol with some of Europe's top modular artists, designers and manufacturers."
"Live Jam with Steelphon S900 Italian Analog Monophonic Synthesizer. Arturia Beatstep first oscillator control & Keystep the second Steelphon's oscillator. CRB Diamond 723 drum sample on DM1 IPad Drum Machine... all as is, but I like it! ;)"
Clep Diaz is a handy and small step CV and LFO generator in Eurorack format. In step and random modes, use the encoder to control the number of steps (up to 32) in the sequence; in LFO mode, the encoder controls the amplitude of the wave. Toggle the directionality of the sequence: up, down, or up/down to customize the CVs further. The Clep Diaz also gives CV control over the number of steps in the sequence and a beginning-of-cycle trigger output. Unipolar and bipolar outputs allow maximal control.
Clep Diaz is available now -- why not pick one up when you preorder Mimetic Digitalis? You need all the CV control, right?"

Six voices, uncompromised flexibility
Ambika is a monster hybrid polysynth. Its design consists of a motherboard and 6 voicecards, each of them carrying a turbocharged version of the Shruthi hybrid synthesizer (digital waveform synthesis through analog VCF/VCAs). Whether you want to use this as six monosynths, a six-voice polysynth, or anything in-between is up to you: MIDI channels/keyboard range/patches/voices are distinct concepts, allowing complex layered, split, multitimbral setups. In addition, each voice has a switched individual output.Improved sound generation engine
"Twisted Electrons therapSID retro synthesizer. This synth takes over full control of everything the legendary SID synthesizer chip from the Commodore 64 has to offer! If you’re in to chiptune or just want to add some retro/ vintage sounds to your productions, this is the box for you!
The original therapSIDs were a very DIY feeling box and this one is no exception. These were assembled by Twisted Electrons in a very DIY style and the look of the box reflects that. The wood sides aren’t perfectly cut and the plastic case isn’t perfectly straight, but this unit is in the exact condition in which I received it, straight from Twisted Electrons."
"SAMBA is an analog percussion synthesizer. Named by the most known Brazilian traditional rhythm. This machine is divided in 5 sequencers (elliptical tap and trigger) and sound percussive effects, expanding possibilities of rhythm combinations."

"Making a post apocalyptic 80s influenced soundtrack (or score?) for videos from the old docks and shipyards in Malmö. The Arturia Synclavier V and CMI V make up the perfect digital, yet warm and organic sound design environment.
Combining additive synthesis and samples (field recordings & classic drum samples) for a hybrid, yet all digital, feel."
"In this video with the Frap Tools Fumana I take a look at vocoding and spectral transfer. I have 3 analogue oscillators going into the main inputs and a drum loop into the modulation input. We can do full 16 band vocoding with this thing and it's amazing. A little modulation of tilt and adding extra amplitude to some bands sounds great as does taking one of the envelope follower outputs from the mod section and using that to clock a sequence."
"This time we have reconstructed the entire arrangement of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'. To download the mix, multi-track, samples and MIDI please visit : https://www.doctormix.com/thriller-so...
To do all this we used the original vintage synths: Minimoog, Jupiter 8 and LinnDrum."

"Convertor from Sonicsmith processes every signal released by ACO on the synthesizer signal. I love such modulations so I often use them for drums and other strange things to get unique sounds. in this demo of sounds ADX-1 (Analog Drum Machine) from Mode Machines I have transformed from Convertor. check how it affects the drums.!!!"

************************
Squarp is a company that specializes in making sequencers – Pyramid and Hermod are the only two products it makes. Pyramid, which has been around for a while, was designed for 'regular' MIDI compatible instruments (though it has a few CV inputs and outputs). Hermod, its smaller, modular brother - released a few months ago - was designed with Eurorack control in mind.
This focus shows, and both sequencers have a massive sequencing feature set: high resolution sequencing, long flexible pattern lengths, polymetry and polyrhythm support, Euclidean sequencing, plenty of MIDI effects and much more – all things you typically see in a DAW, not a standalone hardware sequencer, and certainly not the one built into your synth…
A flexible sequencer can completely transform what an instrument can do – your gear won't sound the same when it's controlled by these two. The question is – how easy is it to get to these features and use them? Successful user interface design makes powerful features accessible with a quick, usable workflow. In this clip I give an overview of the top features of both sequencers, and show how to actually use them, so that you can make up your mind if Squarp have successfully balanced power and usability.
This review includes some of the top new features in Pyramid's beta OS version 3.0, just released last week."
"Elastic Drums got reworked on the Midi Sync engine, now allowing to deal with latencies even.
For better hearing sync issues between the 2 devices, Elastic Drums is panned hard to left and the Korg drum machine to the right.
For my use cases for ingoing Midi Sync a delay value around -30ms was good and +10ms for outgoing Midi Sync. But this might be totally different for different devices and different use cases"
