Erica Synths Perkon // Beats From Scratch
video upload by Patchwerks
"In this live stream Matthew (aka EZBOT ) from Patchwerks gives us a thorough overview of the Erica Synths Perkons and makes some beats from scratch.
Perkons HD-01 is a device with four voices that can create hybrid sounds using both digital and analogue technology. Each voice has eight controls and can be triggered by drum pads with variable sensitivity. There are separate outputs and effects for each voice, and you can save up to 64 kits and patterns on the device, with more storage available on an SD card. The device also includes a delay and compressor, as well as an LFO for modulating sounds. It has a four-track sequencer with different timing options and probability controls, as well as MIDI inputs and outputs for connecting to other devices.

"My philosophy is to make beautiful, long-lasting instruments with musically functional user interfaces that will become heirlooms for future generations of music makers. I enjoy a day of soldering and prototyping in my workshop as much as a day in the studio immersed in sound.
I started tinkering with electronics and designing sound effects for school plays when I was a teenager. During high school, I worked hard to be able to buy a Juno 106, an Oberheim Matrix 1000, and an Akai sampler. Then, I studied electronic music and audio for film and video in college. I also started modifying organs and keyboards and learning how they worked. This led to starting a musical instrument parts and repair business I operated for over ten years.
In the back of my mind, I dreamed of designing synthesizers and effects processors. After moving on from the parts and repair business, I was hospitalized and nearly lost my life to COVID. During my recovery, I looked through all the designs and ideas I had accumulated for twenty years and decided it was time to begin making my ideas a reality.
The Vacuum Tube Ring Mod is our most popular module, and the one I patch in the most. It has more harmonics and edgy character than a typical solid state ring modulator. It is built using full-sized vintage vacuum tubes, ceramic tube sockets, and audio transformers. The look and feel was really important to me so it has a high-gloss aluminum front panel with a raised texture and UV-cured digital printing.
Every month we give away a free Eurorack module to one of our newsletter subscribers. We’ve given away Vacuum Tube Ring Mods, VCOs, Dual Morphing LFOs, and other fun modules. Worldwide shipping is included. You can sign up at https://www.stoelmusicsystems.com."

"For days I've been trying to make an "Oceans 11 - Complete Walkthrough" video, but I keep getting distracted by the sounds. So I gave in and made this first. Originally I was going to just take a few seconds of this but I like drony dirty choiry things and thought you might enjoy it too, especially as it was so simple. The danger with a giant multi-tier stand of vintage polysynths is that you might feel obliged to use several of them at once. Less is more. At about the halfway point (as mentioned in the video) I add in some FabFilter Pro-R "Cathedral" reverb at 50% mix. But there's no other DAW fiddlings.
Since I blab endlessly in the video I won't repeat all the info here but merely add that the FM knob on the DB-01 is very useful but could perhaps be great. Imagine if it could be somehow locked to the chosen scale? Now that would lead to all sorts of good things.

New Behringer Neptune-80 In the Works
via Behringer
"So, for years you guys have been urging us to build one of the most sought after synth. We managed to resist for a long time, but we finally gave in;-)
Here is the fully working prototype of our Neptune-80, an 8-voice polyphonic synth with original analog matrix, BBD chorus and modern user interface such as LCD Display, USB/Midi etc.
We modeled it after the best sounding 6/60 version and we absolutely love the sound.
Our product engineer Ben (a synth fanatic himself) couldn’t stop playing the Neptune, but we luckily managed to pull it out of his hands and get it in front of our camera. Sorry Ben:-)

Neyagawa Instruments Soldering Synthesizer - A Synth You Play with a Soldering Iron

Soldering Synthesizer

"ソルダリングシンセサイザーは半田ゴテを使って演奏する新感覚のシンセサイザーです． ツマミも鍵盤も一切使わない全く新しい演奏方法を確立しました．半田ショートでリズムパターンを変えるだけでなく，抵抗やコンデンサを直接取り替えることでドラスティックな変化を楽しむことができます．
ソルダリングシンセサイザーは16ステップのシーケンサと4トラックの音源を持っています．シーケンサは半田をショートすることでリズムパターンをセットできます．音源部分はT-Bridge回路で構成され、コンデンサと抵抗値の組み合わせにより様々なパーカッション音色を再現することができます．また、EQ調整やBPMも該当する部品を変更することで自由に変えることができます．すべての部品を自在に取り換えられるので、従来のシンセでは味わえない幅広い音作りを楽しめます．
The Soldering Synthesizer is a new type of synthesizer that is played with a soldering iron. We found a completely new way of playing music without any knobs or keys. You can change the rhythm pattern by electric shorts, and enjoy the drastic changes by directly replacing the electric parts such as the resistors and capacitors.
The Soldering Synthesizer has a 16-step sequencer and 4 tracks of sound generator. The sequencer can set a rhythm pattern with short circuit by the solder. The sound generator part consists of a T-Bridge analog circuit, which can reproduce various percussion sounds by the combination of capacitor and resistance. Also, you can change the EQ and BPM freely by changing the corresponding components. All components can be replaced, so you can enjoy an infinite sound making.

Battery Powered Eurorack Modular Synth!

"The second test with this battery pack is something I’ve wanted to try for many years with this case! Now it’s the ultimate portable go anywhere modular . . . anyone up for a gorilla flash mob MOTS? 😆 I still need to test how long it will run on a full charge and make or buy a better cable since the surrender one doesn’t allow the lid to close.

Make Noise 0-Coast // First Ambient Approach
video upload by Dexba
"Almost 5 years after my first Make Noise 0-Coast, I got one again.
I don't even know why: I am slowly moving back to eurorack, but the 0-Coast is only marginally modular or rackable, so yeah, I got just struck by a lightning of GAS.
Anyway, this is my little welcome jam.
I only had three cables, the bare minimum for sequencing, and I decided to expand the sound with the help of the Hologram Microcosm.
I've heard a lot of experimental, noise, and harsh-sounding demos on YouTube, so let's see how it will work with something more gentle."

Shakmat Banshee Reach — Out Now!
video upload by Shakmat
"Murmuring, singing, screaming, and howling, the Banshee Reach delivers a very large panel of sounds. The mo- dule’s heart is based on a triangle core VCO with thru zero frequency/phase modulation capabilities. Besides delivering independently the typical analog waveforms, the Banshee Reach has a vari output combining a continuously variable waveform crossfading with a sub octave generator.
The analog core has been completed with a digital control for frequency locking and octave transposition, which makes the Banshee Reach really per- formance oriented. LFO mode, hard or soft sync, digital noise modulation and PWM complete this rich feature list. Compact and powerful, the Banshee Reach is a VCO suited for west coast, east coast synthesis and many more!"

Phantasmal Force - micro MIDI controller - Now Available!
video upload by Arman Bohn
"Available here:
https://www.tindie.com/products/distr...
Phantasmal Force is a 16 button, 1 knob, micro (reeeaaally small) MIDI controller that sends messages via USB-C and TRS-A. It can be completely customized from the device itself (no external editor required).
Want to send 16 different CC messages with random values? Fine.
Want to send different chords with the top eight buttons and single notes with the bottom eight? Okay!
Need a little DAW controller to throw in your bag that send PLAY/STOP and some Program Change messages? Why not?
The CLICKY tactile buttons are NOT velocity sensitive, but can be configured to send random values between specific ranges. For example you can send a MIDI note randomized between a velocity of 70-90 to give the notes a more human feel. Or maybe send some random CC values to your synth's filter and then reach up and turn the knob to dial it back to a specific value.
FEATURES INCLUDE
- 16 programmable, clicky, tactile switches
- 1 programmable knob (functions based on the last button pressed)
- OLED display
- Note, Chord, CC, Transport, Program Change via MIDI
- MIDI out over USB C and TRS-A
- 26 save slots
- Configurable default settings
- RGB LED status indicator
- A complete, printed Users Manual"

"Running Fire" on the ISE-NIN
video upload by Mostly Synths and Keyboards (Logan)
"A tune from the 'Disgaea' OST on Black Corporation's ISE-NIN
This is a fun one to play. It's layered with other sounds from the ISE-NIN (besides the drums). The ISE-NIN isn't a mono synth but the unison mode really thickens up the sound for leads. This patch utilizes polyphonic aftertouch for vibrato."
