"Uma synth jam que demonstra vários recursos do ótimo controlador e sequenciador Keystep pro da Arturia: Drum Machine (Novation Circuit) sincronizada via MIDI, 3 synths sequenciados (utilizando patterns e chain) e mais uma track para tocar o lead em tempo real, utilizando pitch bend e aftertouch.

ARP 2600 filter magic! #shorts
video upload by O.Z. Hall
"#shorts ARP 2600 is played by a simple sequence (from the 3620 keyboard sequencer). The voice is VCO1 to VCF to VCA with Reverb. The VCF is modulated by VCO2 in low frequency mode. The magic happens when the output of the VCF is routed to the Filter Cutoff Frequency CV input.
The Digital Delay is provided by the Swiss Daisy DSP.
Note that the initial VCF cutoff frequency is a sensitive parameter. Also very sensitive is the VCO1 level in the VCF audio input mixer.
The behavior is different from the Type 1 filter to the Type 2 filter. Both work, but they behave a little differently."
Restoring a Polivoks Synthesizer | Tutorial
video upload by Under the Big Tree
"I was lucky enough to find a legendary Soviet synth of the 1980's on Craigslist: A Polivoks synthesizer.
The synth was working intermittently, but needed a deep cleaning to get it back to looking and sounding its best. This video documents that process, showing how to assemble and disassemble the instrument, check the power supply for proper voltages, and so forth. It ends with footage of playing this quirky and wonderful synth."

Alpicat THEMIS - Full Album
video upload by Oblivion Corner
"Mediterranean Jacques Cousteau vibes meet late 80's French TV library music, conveying the technological optimism of the Mitterrand era European union. Synth laden melodies are bolstered by emotive piano lines and minimal percussive accents to create poignant soundscapes of a future that could have been.

Buchla MARF Overview Glitch LFO
video upload by Todd Barton
"This morning I once again got obsessed with the Buchla 248 Multiple ARbitrary Function generator (MARF). First a little funky pattern using the CV out of the time sliders to change the pitch, then a brief Overview flowed by some timbral glitching explorations and some very long LFOs. Enjoy!

YAMAHA VP1 & VL1 Factory Sound Demos
video upload by Simon Le Grec
"YAMAHA VP 1 | 10.000,- USD Synthesizer | Factory Songs (HQ) The first model of synthesizer to feature VA (virtual acoustic) tone generation based on physical modeling, a complete departure from sampling and FM.
A VA tone generator creates sounds by simulating the physical mechanism by which wind, string and other instruments produce sound.
The virtual instruments simulate characteristics such as the shape and materials of music instruments, allowing the creation of tonal changes that respond to the breathing and playing methods used.
The VL1 was created with reed instruments and other wind instruments in mind, and thus is two-note polyphonic."
YAMAHA VL1 | Virtual Acoustic Synthesizer | Factory Songs (HQ)
"The VL-1 was a ground breaking synthesizer with new technology renowned for accurate reproductions of wind instruments. It is a 2-note polyphony instrument that is best used with a breath controller such as the BC-2 or BC-3.
The VL-1 cost around 4000 pounds in 1994, and was out of reach for most musicians. As such it sold in relatively small numbers and are hard to find. They do come onto the second hand market occasionally and demand between $3000 to $5000 (Aust) depending on condition.
There was a VL7 which was essentially half a VL1 though it looked very similar. Then there is the legendary VP1 which was a VL1 with more power, polyphony and keys. It was made in very limited numbers, perhaps less than a handful. That was due to its price tag, rumoured to have been around $25,000 (US). As such it has often been considered more of a prototype than a proper production model.
This instrument suggests quality of build and sound at first sight. It has real wood, which has not been seen since the DX1 (exactly one decade earlier). Then there are the Champaign gold end panels connected by a band across the top front end. A colour very similar to that used on Yamaha’s B500 in 1990. The gold however is flat with slightly rough texture to contrast against the smooth varnished wood and its semi-gloss finish.
Interestingly it only has 49 keys which to the uninformed will instantly cast doubt, especially with only 2-notes polyphony, and no on-board sequencer.
The screen is striking and very clear with its white back light. The front panel is very well organized with good spacing between all buttons. We particularly like the way the patch buttons are perfectly arranged in 3 rows.
The pitch and modulation wheels feel nice and was a successful design that continued to many future generations. The 3 wheels placed on a stage is an innovative design solution to integrate with a curvy end panel. There is also a disk drive discretely tucked under the left side edge
All controllers feel like they would on a Rolls Royce and command respect. This is not a toy or machine to be thrown around on stage or studio. This was built to look and feel like a digital cross between a violin and a saxophone."
Analog Style Kicks & Claps on the SONICWARE Liven 8Bit Warps
video upload by ChrisLody
"How To Make Analog Style Kicks & Claps on the Sonicware 8Bit Warps
"I'm gradually working my way towards a full chip tune style drum tutorial for the 8Bit Warps, but in the meantime here is a couple of different percussive sounds for you to try, an analog like kick and clap sound. Unlike the more general tutorial I have planned these are kind of 'one trick pony' sounds, i.e. they work for this but not much more.
The synthesis method used is slightly unusual on each too. Normally a sweeping sine or resonant filter would be used to make a kick drum but here it's done by 'pinging' the filter with a pulse. Also for clap sounds we normally need to synthesize each 'pop' of the clap one after another but here the peaks are created using a flanger.
The Sonicware Wave Edit tutorial I mentioned is here:" [posted here]

Modular Moog Preset Box - demo of a few functions...
video upload by noddyspuncture
"So, basically having now built and interfaced everything with regards to the Moog Modular preset box - (except the preset cards and also the 901's, I'm still waiting on the FET from the USA for those...) - it occurred to me that I should maybe test out a few of the features. I could do that by replicating what a card would do... basically connecting points to ground and applying some voltages here and there so I picked the lines into the 921B oscillators which control the footages. I also picked one of the lines into the 921A controller for fine tune and then I found the two lines which control the mixer inputs I'm using. I fed a sawtooth from the first 921B osc and a triangle from the second into the mixer, The mixer control here is just on & off... or 'sounding' and 'muted'. The card will allow for in between, so voltage controlled 'mixing' will be possible. I used my little breadboard and pins to change the settings. The functions I'm not changing here are the filter cut-off, the resonance level and also none of the EG parameters. Adding those to this demo would have been too big a job and as I've already had problems with those bundles of wires shorting, it wasn't worth the risk..! And also as those are a massive part of the 'perceived effects' on a patch change this demo is quite a simple and basic one - just to confirm my wiring is 'something like' and also to give you an idea of what this thing will be doing."
VAI 36 : Wersimatic II / Farfisa Syntorchestra
video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia
"Another take with the Wersimatic II, the younger sister / brother of the Wersimatic 24 auto accompaniment machine.
It was never made as a standalone unit but part of a large, double manual organ manufactured in Germany by Wersi in the mid 70s.
This particular one has been transplanted from an organ into a smaller box with a twelve buttons acting as chord control instead of the bottom keys of the organ.
The sounds are across the board identical to the Wersimatic 24 machines as far as we can tell."
