For Peace. Against War. Who is not?*
A Compilation for the people of Ukraine

On February 24th 2022 Putin invaded Ukraine. Online we chatted about this and our situation as artists, feeling powerless in the face of this war.The only thing that came to mind was to use what we can do best for some greater good. Use music to raise money and support the people of Ukraine. So we put out this call:

'We are extremely concerned about the war in Ukraine and the aggression of Putin’s army.

We are trying to do our small part by raising money and raising awareness for the humanitarian disaster that is happening in Europe right now.

We are looking for artists from all around the world in the genres of electronic music, experimental, ambient, industrial, Techno and related styles for a compilation. We would like to make this as broad as possible, so if in doubt, please submit your tracks.

We encourage everyone from everywhere to submit. We especially encourage submissions from underrepresented communities, from the global south, minorities, female identifying artists, LGBTIQ*-artists, yes, we encourage Russian artists to speak up.

'For Peace. Against War. Who is not?' is a quote by Susan Sontag, an American writer, filmmaker, philosopher, teacher, and political activist

The compilation was initiated and produced by Snowbeasts (Elizabeth Virosa & Robert Galbraith) and Kai Niggemann.

Cover art by Noah G. Hirka www.ichorandteeth.com

Mastered by Robert Galbraith except where noted.

All proceeds from the sale of this compilation will be split evenly between the charities Vostok SOS and the Ukrainian Red Cross.

And the press release:



Streamlined Instruments with Advanced Sounds and Creative Features Directly Inherited from the Flagship FANTOM Series

Los Angeles, CA, March 15, 2022 — Roland introduces the FANTOM-0 series, a new lineup of synthesizer keyboards for performers, producers, and music creators. The FANTOM-06, FANTOM-07, and FANTOM-08 models combine the sonic power and fluid workflow of the top-of-the-line FANTOM series in light, streamlined instruments that flow smoothly into every musical situation, from studio production to high-level stage performances.

Unveiled in 2019, Roland’s reimagined FANTOM series has received worldwide acclaim for its advanced sound technologies and unique creative workflow that eliminates confusing modes and technical frustration. FANTOM-0 carries on this approach, offering core FANTOM features in highly portable instruments that weigh significantly less than most top-tier professional keyboards. Users can play and produce with thousands of Roland’s best sounds and unleash their musical vision with a color touchscreen, hands-on controls, and deep computer integration derived from the flagship models.

FANTOM-0 offers unlimited sound-making possibilities with Roland’s ZEN-Core, SuperNATURAL, and Virtual ToneWheel Organ technologies, with further expansion available through Roland Cloud. Musicians can create with synthesizers and rhythm sounds that have defined entire genres, build organic compositions with pianos and other acoustic instruments, or shape sounds of the future with next-generation synthesis tools. Built for non-stop creation, FANTOM-0 lets users shape sounds and realize ideas as fast they come. Using custom creative spaces called Scenes, they can store sounds, patterns, performance layouts, song sections, and more and recall them seamlessly with no gaps or glitches. And with the free-flowing panel layout, RGB performance pads, quick sampling features, and clip-based sequencer, sessions with FANTOM-0 are inspiring, productive, and fun.

FANTOM-0 slides easily into modern production setups with a built-in 4x32 USB audio interface, and native integration with Logic Pro, MainStage, and Ableton Live provides an interactive experience with touchscreen and hardware control. It’s also possible to combine soft synths with FANTOM-0’s onboard sounds and interface with favorite MIDI hardware via the dedicated MIDI output.

FANTOM-0 instruments are easy to carry from a home studio setup to rehearsal rooms and performance stages, thanks to molded body designs that are sleek, attractive, and ultra-rugged. The 61-note FANTOM-06 and 76-note FANTOM-07 are equipped with newly developed synth-action keyboards, while the FANTOM-08 comes with 88 weighted-action keys. Other than the keyboards and physical specifications, all FANTOM-0 models offer identical features.

With Roland Cloud, players can dive deep into the historic and ever-evolving world of Roland synthesizers. Model Expansions infuse FANTOM-0 with the authentic sounds and unique characteristics of the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, and other vintage icons. And with the growing selection of Wave Expansions, Sound Packs, Sample Packs, and more, there’s a steady stream of creative fuel for every musical journey.

Availability & Pricing

The Roland FANTOM-0 synthesizer keyboard series will be available in the U.S. in April for the following prices:

● FANTOM-06: $1,499.99
● FANTOM-07: $1,799.99
● FANTOM-08: $1,999.99

The string machine ensemble effect: Dr. Böhm Phasing Rotor 79


video upload by Ohm. Studio

"Quite extensive demonstration of the Dr. Böhm Phasing Rotor effect, a great triple chorus effect from the 70s. Turns anything into a great string machine.
On the video I test it with a Multivox MX-202 (a Roland RS-202 clone), a Crumar Stringman and an cheap old cheazy analog synth.
I built several of these as strandalone units and I currently have 2 to sell if you are interested."

Wavefonix W614 Modular System Review


video upload by Molten Music Technology

W314 videos posted here. See the Wavefonix label for more.

"The W614 is a whole modular system in a 6U oak case built with vintage-inspired modules with analogue and digital oscillators. I'll take you through the modules, share my thoughts on the configuration and then dazzle you with a bunch of patches."

Index - 0:00
Intro - 0:28
The Modules - 7:01
Summing up - 14:19
Patches - 16:58



via Wavefonix

"Our W614 Modular Synthesizer is an excellent, compact system for the studio; offering a good balance between versatility and portability. It features the essential modules that you would expect from a small studio setup, but with a broader range of modulation and sonic possibilities over the smaller W314, along with sequencing capabilities from our 8-Step Sequencer.

The system is housed in an elegant, solid walnut 6U, 104HP case. Also included is a premium integrated PSU from Konstant Lab.

Confess the Sun (When Lunacy Reigns) by Audio Illustrator





Another track via supporting member, Audio Illustrator who had the following to say:

"I just finished my new track using my well loved Behringer Model D. In fact, check out the solo at 2:57, kinda as a distorted lead morphing into a horn...I'm playing my D using a CV breath controller there. I used the D throughout this piece and it has been invaluable to me...it is still my favorite synth.

Confess the Sun (When Lunacy Reigns) is from my forthcoming album called "Illumination in the Final Dark Age.

This is a piece about those who are telling you to believe that the truth is no longer truth and to convince you that their lies are the truth. They want you to confess that the sun only comes out at night and the moon brings warmth to the day.

Hold on to what is true.

Composed and produced with a Pink Floyd vibe. 🙂"

Behringer Crave: 64 Melodic Patterns/Sequences. No talk/Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"'Melodic Patterns' is a collection of 64 sequences with different styles and moods. They are suitable for a variety of genres: Techno, House, Trance, Lounge, Downtempo, Chill Out, Acid, Hardcore, IDM, Breaks, Breakbeat, and others.

📔 Get the soundset: https://bit.ly/3dB9yho

The patterns are great for leads, plucks, generative patches, basses (if you transpose them quite low). There are many patches/presets for Behringer Crave on my website, they can be nicely used in pair with these patterns.

Pattern Groups 1-4 are in C Major scale, 5-8 are in C Minor Scale. And, of course, you may transpose them to any root note.

Patterns' Lengths are 16 or 32 steps.

Each sequence is thoroughly set: Gate Length, Ratchet, Glide, Accent.

For loading the sequences to your Crave you must use Synth Tribe app. It’s available on official Behringer website - Crave page - Downloads.

Load the sequences to your Crave and play jams with your synths and drum machines!"

Obsolete tech is so much fun | Anatek Pocket Split


video upload by Espen Kraft

"Gear considered to be obsolete can be a lot of fun. This time we take a look at the Anatek Pocket Split from the late 80s. This little box lets you split your master keyboard into 8 different zones, throughout 8 different midi channels if you want. I'll settle for 3 zones and 3 midi channels in this video. It's still a useful little box and when I'd need a fast and easy way to do this I'd use this every time."

Looks like it's suffering from Nextel paint rot. My Pulse + suffered from the same thing. I was able to clean it up a bit as you can see in this post. I stopped before rubbing the labels off. If you look at OSC 1 and OSC 2 on this XT you will see it appears somone started to rub the paint off. What's interesting is the red underneath. You can see the red elswhere. If you were meticulous about it, you could end up with a Red XT.

As for the missing knobs I'm guessing they broke down as they did on my XTk as you can see in this post. I replaced mine with ALBS.

According to the listing, this XT works 100% so it might be a nice fixer-upper for someone.

If anyone does pick it up and strips it red, leave a comment.
