volca fm: The ultimate compact FM synth
video upload by Korg
"The next-gen volca fm is a powerful 6-voice, 6-Operator FM synthesizer with all 32 classic algorithms, a 16-step loop sequencer, effects and a powerful arpeggiator that perfectly reproduces the sound of the classic Yamaha DX7 and is completely compatible with SYS-EX patches for the DX7 as well.
This new generation – with double the voices of its predecessor, additional effects, expanded MIDI connectivity, and intuitive interface – is poised to bring unprecedented possibilities to your setup, and revolutionize your studio with new musical ideas."

Access Virus B versus TI
video upload by MIDERA
"I currently have both a Virus B (kb) and TI and thought I'd make a comparison video. I'm only going over simple waveforms and some filters, not equivalent patches to test (as I'm not exactly a skilled player, it's hard to demonstrate those differences well). Hope this is of some use to those who are wanting to buy a Virus or wanting to upgrade or downgrade.

Mountain Dulcimer Meets Modular Synth
video upload by Poorness Studios
"I recently finished this Jaromin DIY Dulcimer kit and I decided to plug it into my modular synthesizer just to see what happened. During the build process, I added a piezo pickup & jack, and that is what allowed me to do this. This is just a test, but I can see this developing into something."

Ambient Synth Jam w/ Chase Bliss Habit, Microcosm, Sequential Pro 3, Prophet X, UAFX pedals
video upload by MKDVB
"Epic ambient synth jam with Chase Bliss Habit pedal and Hologram Microcosm manipulating a single sequence via the Sequential Pro 3 and Prophet X via a mixer send/return channels. Normally I would not list the pedals before the synth but in this case, the Chase Bliss Habit pedal and Microcosm are really doing the heavy lifting in manipulating the sounds from the Prophet X and Pro 3, which is sequencing both synths with the same line. The Chase Bliss Habit really is a Song / Echo Collector capable of creating clouds of ambient synth jam goodness, like you hear here.
You can hear a resemblance of the original sequence around the 6 minute mark.
Generally speaking the Prophet X + Chase Bliss Habit pedal + UAFX pedals are playing the bassline and the Pro 3 + Microcosm the higher lines but using them in send /return with a mixer allows lots of flexibility so throughout the track, I would send different sources and even send the output of one into the other.
Sequential Pro 3 - original sequence, high melody line
Sequential Prophet X (sequenced by Pro 3) - bass line
Chase Bliss Habit pedal - transmogrification of original sequence
00:00 Pro 3 + Microcosm high notes / Prophet X + Habit + UAFX bass
02:45 Microcosm only drone into glitching out Pro 3 and Habit
04:17 Prophet X + Habit fade back in
05:41 Pro3 + Habit + UAFX only, with Prophet X looped in memory
06:00 Original sequence audible
07:00 Habit sequence transmogrification!
08:10 Microcosm shimmer added"

STG Soundlabs Wave Folder

"STG Soundlabs Wave Folder Diode-based Waveshaper Distortion.
the wave folder is a nonlinear diode-based waveshaper with voltage-controllable gain and a 10-volt offset range.
"input gain" has a range of null to extreme distortion, and is calibrated so at high noon the signal is passed with almost no waveshaping. the "gain control" knob and its associated jack allow modulation of the discrete vca driving the wavefolding diode network.
this allows the wave folder to be used as a vca which can be very easily edged into distortion.
"offset" feeds dc into the mix, which can act almost as a pulse width control for your distortion. the lower of the two signal inputs is dc-coupled, which allows you to have a sort of modulation of this character of the signal distortion.
"fold mix" is sort of a flavour control which controls the blend of the signal in a couple of different places in the circuit, and results in very wild waveshaping around 10 o'clock or so.
the circuit inside this module is licensed from j�rgen haible with a pcb by detachment 3 engineering."

"Modulars only for bleeps and bloops? Nah. But yes, they're wonderful
machines to do just that. So in this video I'll explore some techniques and examples to make your own Sci-Fi sounds. I am using MakeNoise modules in this video, but many of the examples can be done on any system with at least a VCO, function generator, filter and VCA (and FX). So go float yourself!"

JUPITER-X/Xm O.S. 3.0 with NEW Sound Engine!!!
video upload by gattobus
"Quick demo of the new native sound engine that is available exclusively for Jupiter-X/Xm in O.S. 3.0 update. In this video I'm playing some of the factory scenes that I created exclusively for this amazing instrument.
Built on the classic JUPITER heritage, vintage analog sound has been modernized with new capabilities and creative options.
4 Oscillators with new waveforms, 2 LFOs, 5 Envelopes, Double XMod and Sync options, etc... A new iArpeggio is introduced, with new patterns and PROBABILITY styles.
O.S. 3.0 also doubles internal memory for user scenes and tones!
Download it for free, following the links below:
Jupiter-X: https://www.roland.com/global/support...
Jupiter-Xm: https://www.roland.com/global/support..."
Update notes:
[ Ver.3.00 ] APR 2022
Please refer to the "JUPITER-X Owner's Manual Ver. 3.0 and later" and "JUPITER-X Reference Manual Ver. 3.0 and later" for detailed information in the [ Owner's Manuals ].
Additional Functions
The model "JUPITER-X" has been newly provided as a preloaded model.
The model "JUPITER-X" is a new model that takes the model "JUPITER-8" as its motif and is designed with the aim of achieving the ideal analog synthesizer configuration. Through such moves as adoption of four oscillators, seven types of waveform selection, implementation of oscillator pan and oscillator delay, adoption of a variety of velocity sense functions, and more, this provides new vintage synth expressiveness that transcends the boundaries of vintage synths.
The functionality of I-ARPEGGIO has been extended.
I-ARP TYPE setting values have been increased from 55 to 65 (10 more) and I-ARP RHYTHM setting values have been increased from 44 to 65 (21 more).
Mode switching has been added to enable easy switching of simple arpeggios and step sequencers for each individual part.
It is now possible to change styles and variations for each individual part by using I-ARP and the ARP mode.
A Probability function has been added. This makes it possible to assign a probability to the sound production of each note, and also enables changing its extent through interlinking with I-ARPEGGIO.
New preset sound content has been added (scenes and tones).
The number of scenes and the number of user tones have both been increased from 256 to 512.
Functionality Improvement
Various improvements to the user interface have been made.
When setting parameter values, a value list can now be displayed by pressing the [ ENTER ] button.
The structure of the view displayed when the [ MENU ] button is pressed has been reorganized.
The naming screens for scenes, tones, and the like have been improved.
The order of Z-Core Tone parameters has been reorganized.
Bug Fixes
The following bugs were fixed.
Minor bugs.
