TrebleSynth single chip modular synthesizer

video upload by profdc9

"This video presents the TrebleSynth modular synthesizer based on the Raspberry Pi Pico. It is a six voice polyphonic subtractive and FM synthesizer with MIDI USB and serial support. One can create instruments by connecting together modules and adjusting analog controls. All processing occurs on the Pico. It is open source software and hardware. You can find the project at https://www.github.com/profdc9/Treble..."

"The TrebleSynth is a "Modular Synth on a Chip" based on the Raspberry Pi Pico. It is a through-hole design that is easy to assemble yourself and uses only inexpensive generic parts that are widely available to minimize costs. One can create various modules on the chip and interconnect them by specifying which unit takes input from another input, assign the controls of these modules to potentiometers, and then adjust the potentiometers to achieve your desired sound. It also has a fully capable effects module on the chip as well. The modular synth supports six note polyphony.

The synth has a 25 key, two-octave keyboard (though external MIDI controllers are highly recommended, as the built-in synth keys are rudimentary and more suitable for testing). The TrebleSynth accepts notes over serial MIDI input and outputs the synth keyboard presses over the serial MIDI output. There is also a USB MIDI input/output, and notes can be played from a computer to the TrebleSynth over USB and similarly the synth keyboard presses are sent over the USB MIDI output. The are two jacks available for expression and selection pedals.

Being perhaps the most popular version of one of the most iconic monophonic analog synth series of all time is no easy feat, but the Moog Minimoog Model D manages to pull it off. As one of the first non-modular synthesizers, the Minimoog Model D is highly intuitive and requires very little knowledge to use. The model D boasts contouring circuits and three separate, completely original oscillators, one of which can be used as an LFO. Although the Model D was reissued, the '70s Minimoog Model D hasn't depreciated in value, desirability, or style.

Watch me bring that sound back to life!🎹🕺"

Intellijel Introduces Atlantix & Atlx

video upload by Intellijel

Additional user videos below.

"This is the Intellijel Atlantix & Atlx

The Atlantix is the highly-anticipated successor to the Intellijel Atlantis which was originally inspired by the classic Roland SH-101—one of our all-time favorite synthesizers. Despite the SH-101’s seemingly limited architecture, it produces various creative and musically useful sounds that have inspired generations of artists and countless hits. The Atlantix is just as immediate for dialing in beautifully rich bass and lead sounds. Thoughtful design, numerous additional features, and flexible patching options open up a massive amount of new sonic territory to explore.

In this video, we take a first look at Atlantix and the Atlx Expander. More in-depth feature videos will be available soon."

Here We Are by ThorF

"So, here we are. Me and you, together in this very moment.Thank you for reaching this point. You make it all worth while. The music on this album, was written/recorded in the last 4 years. Everything ,except mastering, was done in my home studio in LA. To sculpt the atmosphere you are listening to I used various synths and efx. All hardware. Clicks & pops, mis-timed midi messages, live mistakes and other things :) It’s all on it. For few good reasons. It’s how the hardware I own, sounds. It’s how I play my instruments, sounds. From the computer that records the audio to the end of the FX chain.

The machines have character.
I hope their character gets delivered to your ears with these recordings.

The Greatest Synth in History | T.O.N.T.O

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"Dive into the revolutionary world of T.O.N.T.O, the legendary synthesizer that became synonymous with Stevie Wonder's groundbreaking music during his classic period. In this video, I explore the incredible story behind T.O.N.T.O (The Original New Timbral Orchestra), a pioneering modular synthesizer created by Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff in the early 1970s.
Discover how T.O.N.T.O's vast array of analog modules and innovative design allowed Stevie Wonder to explore new sonic frontiers, shaping timeless albums like 'Innervisions,' 'Fulfillingness' First Finale,' and 'Songs in the Key of Life.' From its towering size, custom wood cabinets, to its intricate patching system, T.O.N.T.O not only expanded the palette of sounds available to musicians but also set a benchmark for electronic music production.
Through my interview with Grammy Winning Super-Producer Robert Margouleff, (T.O.N.T.O co-creator), we'll uncover its enduring impact on music production techniques and its part in shaping the evolution of synthesizers. From its role in creating iconic basslines and ethereal textures to its influence on the development of funk, soul, and electronic music genres, T.O.N.T.O remains a testament to the power of innovation in music technology.
Whether you're a die-hard Stevie Wonder fan, a synth enthusiast, or simply curious about the instruments that changed music forever, this video provides a comprehensive look at T.O.N.T.O's journey from obscurity to becoming an icon of musical innovation. Don't miss out on discovering the secrets and stories behind Stevie Wonder's magical sounds and the synthesizer that continues to inspire generations of musicians worldwide. Hit the play button and embark on a sonic adventure with T.O.N.T.O!"
