ULT SOUND DS-4m with 2 x Korg SQ-1
video upload by Nightlife Electronics
"The Ult Sound DS-4 is a legendary (and rare!) analog drum synthesizer produced in late 70's Japan, made famous by the likes of YMO and other Japanese synth pop artist of the era. Now available once again with the addition of midi and CV/Gate per channel in the form of the DS-4m.
Here it is being sequenced by a pair of Korg SQ-1 step sequencers for some poly rhythmic pitch and gate control.
The Ult Sound DS-4m is available now at Nightlife Electronics https://nightlife-electronics.com/col..."
ULT SOUND DS-4m Bamboo Garden
"Here we have the reissue Ult Sound DS-4m proving that it is more than just a percussion machine! Being fed melodic, polyrhythmic sequences from a pair of Korg SQ-1 step sequencers. Manual adjustment of panel parameters like octave, FM amount and decay keep the pattern interesting.
The Ult Sound DS-4m is available now at Nightlife Electronics! https://nightlife-electronics.com/col..."

"The µCVC is a 6HP Eurorack module that outputs the WXYZ information from a single finger controlling an Expressive E Osmose. You can think of it as 1/4 of a CVC. Up to two µCVC modules can be daisy-chained together, to allow tracking two fingers."

UDO Super Gemini - A modern classic synthesizer...
video upload by RJ Thompson
"The UDO Super Gemini came into my life in 2024, and it has firmly found its place as my favourite instrument in my studio.
So much so that James (keys player) and I thought we'd put together a short demo... the first we've ever done for any instrument.
I've created a bunch of custom patches, nostalgic and cinematic, for the Gemini (also compatible with the Super 8). I'll be releasing them as a preset pack soon. All patches are only utilising a SINGLE layer of the Gemini... imagine what can be achieved by combining patches on both layers.
I'm not affiliated with UDO and I don't get any financial benefit from demoing this synth, but if you're interested in buying one, here are some links below..."

Calm Synth Drone on Quord
video upload by Sound Workshop
"A little jam to show what #quord can do. It’s four sawtooth oscillators, a mixer, a filter, and a distortion. For half of the video I’m using the filter resonance as a fifth voice. The pitches it latches onto usually compliment the drone.
Still finalizing the design but I have parts on the way.

The second edition of the Memetune Programme Annual - for the year 2024
Hardback book (A4 size) with 74 full colour pages and download code for the accompanying music album
Based on the second season of Benge's unique 6 part TV series focussing on his passion for vintage synths, studio gear and video production equipment
The Memetune 2024 Annual follows the TV series format, broken down into the following categories:
LITTLE BLACK BOXES looks at some classic 80s and 90s rack mount synths, instruments that are often overlooked due to their utterly bland appearance. Their sounds, however, are anything but
SWITCHED ON CYBERSYNTHS features a brief history and description of abstract electronic music, in particular sounds created on modular synths, taking in randomness, chaos theory, feedback loops, nonlinear modifiers, plus stochastic and algorithmic ideas. It ends with perhaps the largest modular synth patch ever attempted, featuring 11 of the Memetune modulars containing over 430 modules
SYNTHESISER CLUB points a vintage video camera at various synthesisers and systems, and focuses on ‘families’ of synths, meaning a group of instruments made by one manufacturer in a particular time in synth history
PATCHING TODAY is a deep dive into patching on a selection of vintage modular systems, namely the Modcan A-Series (the most versatile modular ever made?), the Polyfusion 2000 (the simplest modular?), an EMS rig containing a VCS3, TKS sequencer, 8-octave filter bank and dual Synthi 100 HPF (the most English modular?), a Paia 4700 (the worst modular ever made?), the Buchla 100 (the first modular ever made?) and a hybrid Roland “green” modular system containing a modified System 100, SH5 with special modular panel and RE201 Space Echo (the ‘wonkiest’ system ever made?)
VIDEO LAB begins by presenting a short film called Proof of Hypertravel made entirely in the Lab, and then goes on to detail the lengthy process that went into making it, covering such things as Storyboarding, World-Building, Green Screening, Compositing, Special Effects, and types of vintage video cameras
There is also the Memetune Puzzle Page, the legendary Memetune Dictionary of Words, and a tour of the Memetune garden in a 1980 Lotus Esprit
The music on the download album that accompanies this annual has been selected from the second series and contains all the tracks made in the Synthesiser Club, Patching Today and Little Black Boxes sections respectively, approximately 60 minutes of original synthesiser compositions to enjoy whilst perusing the Annual

Stereo patching with Mimeophon: Skew, Ping Pong, and Swap | Make Noise
video upload by MAKEN0ISE
"This video gives a full run-down of all the ways the Mimeophon handles stereo:
- Mono/stereo input normalization
- Stereo Halos
- Setting, modulating and clearing Skew
- Ping Pong (repeats bounce from left to right)
- Swap (Skewed repeats fed into each other for stereo layers)

Turning the DONNER D1 drum computer into a melodic sample player using this small script
video upload by Floyd Steinberg
"The Donner D1 essential is a digital, sample-based drum computer with a live- and step sequencer. @loopop did an excellent review already, so in this video, I focus on the basics and also code a small script that turns the D1 into a chromatic sample player (so one can play chords and melodies and basslines along the drum tracks).

Stylophone Gen X-1 with Strega & Volante
video upload by Stazma
"I've been sent some stuff by the folks at Dubreq, including their Stylophone Gen X-1. I tough that like th Casio I got for my kid this would be a great pairing with the Strega from Make Noise, in order to give a "serious" and even ominous quality. I had a blast recording that session. The end is the best part hahaha.
Have fun!
Sponsored as I had the Stylophone for free."
Radel "Magic Plus" Digital Tanpura/Tambura Natural Sounds
video upload by Edward Jones
Interesting device. Could benefit with individual buttons to flip between presets as well as knobs for the rest.
A search for Tanpura and/or Tambura on the top right will bring up others.
Loopstyler, low/high-pass filter, extreme resonances
video upload by Gechologic
"A few more interesting moments which did not fit in the previous demo, showing what happens at the edges of the filter cut-off and resonance range.
All sounds are coming from the device, as recorded on the SD card, with no additional processing, except for the peak volume normalized to -6dB, and fading in and out when editing the video."
Exploring vactrol filters and modular utilities with Nekyia Circuits Mezcal, Muzzle & Cadence
video upload by Tom Churchill
"In this video I’m checking out three modules from Nekyia Circuits. Muzzle is a vactrol-based filter; Mezcal is a compact multi-utility that includes a mult, rectifier, mixer and comparator; and Cadence is a triple decay envelope generator. Between them they provide lots of really useful analogue tools for a modular synth setup, and they all have some interesting twists.
I build a few patches that not only show what these modules can do but also provide some more general patching tips and tricks for modular synths. Hopefully they’ll give you some ideas for things to try with your own setup if you have modules that can do similar things."
