Rhodes Piano and Prophet 10 somber jazz
video by MIDERA
"I don't know what to call it? It's a bit too slow to be funk, I'm not really good enough at playing to even achieve that. So - it's somber jazz. I've been working on this piece for about a week, although I don't think I'll ever be satisfied, it's been fun to play.
Nothing much else to say about it really.

Data Garden PlantWave - galvanic MIDI hardware 1st demo/experiments
video by SynthAddict
Little plant playing music.
"PlantWave converts measured plant (or any other organism's) galvanic resistance over time between 2 points to MIDI, like biofeedback devices (galvanic skin response in animals). Enjoy the experiments. A few synths were used in the demo.
I experiment with lights and wavelengths, as well as a simple impromptu chaotic jams at the end with a plant bandmate. :-)
The PlantWave mobile app has onboard synth presets & other features, but this demo is only for MIDI hardware.
Galvanic refers to Luigi Galvani, who was an 18th century physician, physicist, biologist and philosopher - considered the pioneer of bioelectromagnetics.

40+ Wavestate Performances (Volume I) by Robust American Patches
Wavestate Performance Demonstrations (Wave 2) video by Robust American Patches
via Robust American Patches
"This collection contains some 40 performances and 130 programs for the Korg Wavestate/Wavestate S.E. (You also get 10 complimentary performances...see below) Every performance in this set makes heavy use of the various controllers...The modwheel, aftertouch, vector joystick and of course the 40 mod knobs. (8 performance knobs and up to 32 layer mod knobs) If you are looking for vibrato, try the modwheel or aftertouch. Be sure to give the performance and layer mod knobs a spin to further customize the sounds to your needs. We tried to keep the mod knob assignments consistent from performance to performance and program to program but there are more than a few exceptions. Most of the performances in Volume I use the master performance knob as a master filter knob. It usually controls multiple filter parameters of all the layers simultaneously. We suggest that you experiment with all of the controllers, both at the layer level and the performance level, to get the most out of these performances."
Nord Lead 2/2X "CINEMATICA" 50 Organic Presets
video by LFOstore
"'Cinematica' is a combination or collaboration between hardware & software tech.
Buy here: https://sellfy.com/lfo/p/nord-lead-2-...
Organic sounds for Nord Lead 2/2X combined with deepest fx of Supermassive wonderfull free of charge effect by Valhalla DSP.
We love Clavia with all our heart aswell as Valhalla DSP Virtual Fx.
We used a lot Valhalla effects in our past presentatinos & answered countless messages - what kind of vst fx you are using to process hardware?
We are thinking that Supermassive is the best one for any hardware synth & its totally free one, thanks to Valhalla.
Nord 2X really lucks lushness in tone - a good chorus effect & deep reverb for cosmic pads & soundscapes.
Inside Supermassive you will find silk choruses, ensembles & deepest reverbs (period).

It’s a mono synth with programmed ‘key rollover’ if a key is held down and another pressed it will change the pitch and re trigger the envelope.
Specification
Single Digitally Controlled Oscillator, Saw + Pulse (PWM Adjustable)
Single ADSR analog envelope (AS3310)
PWM and Filter envelope mod, adjustable
External inputs for Filter and PWM summer
0 to 5 volt analog CV
12 volt digital CV
AS3372 signal processor
Envelope re-trigger on second key press
Adjustable audio out ~650mV p-p
PIC16F18344 controller running with a 4MHz crystal oscillator
Power requirements are +/- 12 volts. A standard eurorack connector will be on the PCB"

"bought new in 1995. Based around the sound of the Roland TB-303 it very much has it’s own sonic fingerprint and is a true analog MIDI controlled mono synth with CV and Gate in and out plus an audio in allowing you to filter external sounds through it’s excellent 24db voltage controlled resonant filter.
It has five functions:
1. A MIDI controlled bass synthesizer.
2. An analogue controlled bass synthesizer.
3. A MIDI to CV converter.
4. A MIDI controlled filter gate.
5. An analogue controlled filter gate."

VAI 50 : Elka Wilgamat III / Elka Solist 505
video by Vintage Audio Institute Italia
"The Elka Wilgamat III is an analog auto-accompaniment machine from 1982 It has four sections:
An analog Drum machine
A Bass sections
A piano / brass chord section
And an arpeggiator
Apart from the auto rhythm to each section, you can play the bass and piano/brass sounds just like a synth, no modulation capabilities.
The Elka Solist 505 is a monophonic preset synthesizer from 1976 with a unique / quirky timbre, great filter on this one. And a great look :)"
Best Ambient Synth Shootout #109: Casio CZ-1 - Song 3
video by Christian's Sonic Spaces
"This is the third song with the CZ-1. It's a 16 voice Phase Distortion synthesizer from the mid 80s. The only Casio Synth from the CZ series that featured velocity and aftertouch sensitivity.
I used for the recording the following FX chain: CZ-1 - Digitech Obscura - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated
The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."
