Korg Trident Mk1 Vintage Analog Synth Sound Demo

video upload by Mamotreco

"Start off with the warm and satisfying analog bass synth tone of the Korg Trident vintage polysynth before quickly jumping into retro 80s synth leads and key sounds from this legendary piece of musical gear. While it might seem high a simple synthesizer at a first glance, don't let it's specs or people's rushed impressions fool you. #vintagesynth #analogsynth #korgtrident

Soak in the analog warmth of this vintage synth through its surprisingly versatile sound design palate. From delicate vintage analog sounds to cutting synth tones, the Korg Trident is a keyboard players delight with a meaty character that you can use for a lot genres from synthpop to funk, disco or even house and techno.

Sporting a wonderfully organic phaser effect and truly keyboard player friendly features, this vintage synth can fill any spot on stage and in the studio."

Modular Synthesizer Ensemble - Popella / Graz

video upload by

"Popella - is a music festival for young and old in Graz.
A children's music festival that is primarily dedicated to modern styles, responds to the lifestyles and interests of today's children and also appeals to parents.
This year, the MODULAR SYNTHESIZER ENSEMBLE was a guest at Popella in the Postgarage Graz. After a 4-hour workshop, the children played a live performance on the huge sound system in the large club room. It was powerful, not only because of the great sound system, but above all because the kids put on a masterful performance - listen for yourself.

Epic sounds of Waldorf Microwave I - Drone Ambient NO FX DEMO (no talking)

video upload by brainhack musicbox

"NO FX - all sounds are produced by Waldorf Microwave synth and captured straight into PC.

Digital oscillator and analog filter, just 8 voices, no onboard effects - but it can sound like an orchestra. I always wanted to make a long, self-evolving patch - and this demo is supposed to show the incredible power of mighty Microwave.

Okay, if a big (by modern standards) 2 rack units box is a Micro, what about Macro? It all started in 1978 with Wavecomputer 360 by PPG (Palm Products GmbH) - the first instrument to offer 30 different wavetables (64 waves each) opposing to the usual minimum of the day (sine, saw, pulse). With added analog filters, it later became known as PPG Wave.

In the late 1980s #wavetable was still a groundbreaking concept - when single-cycle waveforms of differing harmonic spectra were stored in adjacent memory slots. Dynamic spectral shifts were achieved by scanning through the waveforms, with interpolation used to avoid noticeable 'jumps' between the adjacent waveforms (extensively used in this demo).

With the end of the #PPG company, some of its employees moved to the newly-created #Waldorf to make their first rockstar - the Microwave which is essentially PPG Wave 2.3 with original wavetables and analog filters.

Korg keyboard is used just as a MIDI controller, with a sustain pedal.
Programming the machine is in fact easier than it seems at first glance - but more #MIDI knobs and faders would be helpful anyway."

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge -- 180 BPM (pseudo punk/speed metal)

video upload by SynthAddict

via supporting member, SynthAddit: "It has some synthy bits, but there is not a single guitar loop or real drum played on it (my guitar playing stinks). The Kontakt guitar and drum libs have some great elements in the samples

that sound pretty legitimate when played a certain way on the pads, especially the guitars with some added live 'string bending' with the M+ pitch ribbon - some luck there for sure. :-) "

Moog Rogue Demo

video upload by Daniel Farris

From the future!

"This is a demo of my Moog Rogue synthesizer. Recorded on 12/13/24. The synthesizer sounds excellent and is in excellent cosmetic shape. It was extensively professionally restored a few years ago and has rarely been used since. It is missing one slider cap from the envelope section, but everything works perfectly.

The signal path was synthesizer -- passive DI box -- Midas Heritage D console -- Pro Tools. Any reverb or delay effects have been added in post. There are some pops and glitches in the audio, but those come from video transcoding errors, not from the synthesizer."

A Korg MS-20 in the WORLDS LONGEST REVERB + other Synths in Weird Spaces // Poly Effects Verbs

video upload by DivKid

"Ever wanted to hear a Korg MS-20 in the worlds longest reverb? Of course you have, I have and now I have ... and now you can!

With the power of convolution reverbs and good impulse responses I transport some of my synths (Korg MS-20, Roland SH-09, PWM Malevolent and Eurorack Modular) into some unique spaces included a bombproof underground WW2 oil storage facility in Scotland, an abandoned cooling tower in Belgium as well as classic studio gear with the AKG BX20 spring reverb and the ECOPLATE 1980 plate reverb. Tremendous fun and fantastic sounds.

This is all with the brand new Verbs stereo convolution pedal from Poly Effects. It has 8 banks of 8 impulse responses (plus 8 more that can be user replaced) with some fascinating natural and man made spaces along with a collection of studio gear and create, weird and wonderful IRs too. Full features listed below.

PEDALS & PATCHES //
This is also a soft launch/announcement to talk about PEDALS & PATCHES my new video series on using guitar FX pedals within creative studio environments. I'll largely be synths and modular, though other instruments and environments will creep in. This launches in 2024 and will likely be a monthly video series. NOTE // this isn't a break from what I already do, it's an addition to it.

"Welcome back to Tech Thursday! Today we're overdriving Mix 3! While our voltage controlled audio mixer is designed to sound as clear and transparent as possible, overdriving it can bring a lot of character to your patches!

Simply patch in a CV source exceeding +5 V. Rather than attenuate, Mix 3 will now amplify, up to +20 dB, easily driving most signals into saturation."

Controlling Hardware with the ROLI Seaboard Rise 2

video upload by Starsky Carr

"I've seen a lot of demos of the ROLI Seaboard Rise 2 but most are using it with its own software (which is excellent btw I demo it in here). I've been keen to get one to play with, particularly as I've got a fair few synths that are MPE compatible, and haven't spent enough time exploring this side of them.

In this I take a look at using it with the Synclavier Regen, Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave and the Sequential OB6.

It's super easy to set up and adds sooooo much more potential for expression. I now understand why people want MPE keyboards on everything!... get one of these and you have :)"

"Howdy! Today I want to talk about the project that's taken up the last year of my life that you can get right now for the low price of free thanks to my friends at UVI.
Noctua ► https://bit.ly/noctuavt"

"From the mind of Venus Theory, renowned sound designer and YouTube creator, Noctua combines the worlds of hardware synthesis and boutique effects to realize an exquisite collection of hand-built instruments, ready to create sprawling soundscapes and evolving cinematic universes, rich with detail and movement.

Dive into an incredible multi-layer instrument built on hand-crafted samples, push and pull each layer individually with discrete microtonal sequencers, transform them with custom designed single-knob effect chains, and then finalize your sound with delay, reverb, and master buss processing - all from a single, refined and highly focused tool.

All sounds in Noctua were designed, recorded and processed by Venus Theory to capture the raw and visceral world of cinematic sound design. Divided into three categories, 'Effects Box' sounds were recorded from a variety of analog and digital hardware synthesizers processed through boutique pedals and custom digital FX, while 'EMF' sounds explore EMF recordings, transformed and multi-sampled using a variety of techniques and effect chains to create usable sonic instruments, and 'Analog', as a morphable raw source, giving users a deep pool of sonic possibility and textural exploration.

Each of Noctua's 3 sound layers has been fitted with a complex, microtonal sequencer with built-in randomization and probability. From subtle modulation and detuning to complex voicing and progressions, each layer can be customized with deep sequence control to create lush movement and sonic narrative, all with clear and easy-to-use controls.

Noctua's sound sources are treatable with fully adjustable delay and reverb sends along with powerful master buss processing including overdrive, compressor, eq, and maximizer let you dial-in the perfect sound, all from within the instrument - delivering a complete toolbox for evolving, cinematic sound design.

Noctua features a custom designed selection of one-knob fx chains. Here you can quickly browse different treatments and utilize them for sonic reinforcement, or to create performance-based transformations to the overall energy and grit of your sound. Each chain was designed by Venus Theory, providing a wide range of unique characters to explore.

100 hand-crafted presets are included, professionally designed both by Venus Theory and the UVI sound design team, delivering stylish and rarified sonic tapestries, from brooding and nuanced to terrifying. Presets are fully editable, allowing you to easily adapt the ideas to suit your needs, or create your own designs from scratch."

SetonixSynth & Tidbit Audio Solar Voltages Light Theremin for Eurorack - Full Demo Video

video upload by SetonixSynth

"Official demo video for the Solar Voltages Light Theremin by SetonixSynth & Tidbit Audio, with an explanation of the module and some fun patch examples.

More info about the Solar Voltages can be found here: https://www.setonixsynth.com/solar-vo..."

"The Solar Voltages is a 2hp, 2-channel Solar Cell module which outputs two separate control voltages in response to light. Each channel outputs approximately 0-5V, with higher voltages corresponding to more intense and/or direct light. As the two channels can be manipulated with relative independence, the Solar Voltages makes for a great low-profile and multi-dimensional 'light theremin' for direct and spontaneous control of two different parameters at once.

Please note: as the Solar Voltages draws a finite amount of current from incoming light, connecting an output to multiple inputs without a buffer will reduce its maximum voltage output. To increase the range when controlling multiple inputs if desired, we recommend using a buffered multiple."

Picophonica — A Raspberry Pi Pico synth for a toy keyboard, with instrument presets and Midi out

video upload by Turi Scandurra

"A friend gifted me a cheap toy musical keyboard. The sound quality was atrocious, and it could only play one note at a time. So I removed its circuitry while keeping its enclosure, speaker, and keybed, and with some tinkering and a Raspberry Pi Pico I turned it into something usable.

I integrated a software synthesizer into the Pico. It's pico_synth_ex by Ryo Ishigaki - ISGK Instruments. The new engine boasts two oscillators, featuring descending sawtooth and square waveforms, a customizable filter with resonance control, cutoff modulation, a Decay-Sustain amp envelope, and an LFO for added modulation possibilities.

This video shows the makeover. The soundtrack is entirely played on the Picophonica, recorded one instrument at a time through the new audio out port.

Threetom Modular DOPPIO / clean amp, dirty drive and useful limiter / brief demo / first patches

video upload by BRiES

"DOPPIO by Threetom Modular is a stereo (or two channel) saturator/soft clipper that was designed to bring all the dirt where you want it but remain clean where you need it. You can use it to add huge amounts of noisefree gain to weak signals or to make a clean sound more saturated by using a selectable soft clipping circuit. The most useful feature and the one I will probably use most of the time is the soft clipping 'limit' setting, which gives the user the ability to set a safe master volume and bring in some saturation.

This video is not an extensive playthrough but rather a quick rundown of the features of this brand new Threetom Modular creation. There's a few patch examples in this video but I'm sure I'll make more uploads using DOPPIO when I run into things that benefit from a fresh caffeine shot. I'm confident this will be a great boost to my drumsection (pun intented)."
