Dark Star - Psychedelic Synths, Maschine finger drumming and Guitars Jam on Tape
video upload by Caught In Joy
"✨✨✨ NEW ALBUM OUT NOW on Bandcamp**: https://caughtinjoy.bandcamp.com
Here's a first single from my new album called 'Out Of Nowhere'. Embark on a cosmic journey with 'Dark Star' jam, where psychedelic synths, groovy guitar riffs, and analog tape recording come together to create an otherworldly soundscape. This track is a deep dive into space rock, blending the rich textures of Moog One, Moog Matriarch, and Prophet-10 synthesizers with live guitar and finger drumming on the Maschine.
Everything you hear was recorded live to an 8-track 1/2" reel-to-reel TEAC 80-8, passed through the warm, analog sound of the TEAC Model 5A console. This session is pure, unfiltered analog magic—capturing the raw energy of live performance in its truest form.
Every listen, share, and purchase helps keep the music alive. Your support means the world to me!
Thank you for being a part of this journey.
With cosmic gratitude,
Caught In Joy"

Drum & Bass Jam with Analog Synths - Connecting With the Stars
video upload by Caught In Joy
"Join me on a cosmic drum & bass journey with "Connecting With the Stars," a high-energy jam from my new album "Out Of Nowhere." This track features an electrifying blend of deep basslines and rhythmic breaks, brought to life through the lush tones of the Moog One, Moog Matriarch, Moog Mavis, Prophet-10, and Maschine.
As I jam with all my favorite instruments, you'll experience the full power of analog sound, with each synth adding its own unique flavor to the mix. Recorded live, this performance captures the raw energy and spontaneity of the moment, making it a truly immersive experience.
Thank you for being part of this journey through sound and rhythm. Your support means the world to me.
With deep gratitude and joy,
Caught In Joy"

Quick unfinished jam very loosely based on a Blade Runner soundtrack deep cut. :-)
Been a while since I did a HWJ, too much drama lately with gear thieves about. :-(

Akai VX600 Polyphonic Analog Modulation Matrix Synthesizer w/ BR-16 Memory Card & Flight Case
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"The last of the mohicans! Here for sale is a quite rare and underrated late 80s analog beast from Akai. A CEM3372 based 6 voice analog poly synth often compared to the Oberheim Xpander.
This unit is in excellent condition. The face has a few small scratches and stains and there is a tiny bit of rust on a few screws but overall it is in beautiful shape. Even the screen is quite clear, these synths often have very dim screens but this one is still very useable. There are modern bright LED screens available as well if you want to upgrade it, but I will leave that up to the buyer.
Includes very rare Akai BR-16 memory card and a custom flight case. I will install a removable 2032 battery holder and fresh battery before shipping so it will be good for years to come. It is a 100v Japanese model so it is recommended to use a step down converter for use in 120v territories."

Extraordinary Patches with Procyon Stereo Morphing Filter by Glasgow Synth Guild and Eon
video upload by foxendeavor
"The Procyon analog filter is an amazing MS-20 style stereo morphing filter that has a few extra tricks up its sleeve.
Exploring this characterful filter from Glasgow Synth Guild and Eon Audio Design took me to so many special places the more and more I explored patching and modulating it. I only used basic LFOs and envelopes with most of these patches. What you see and hear are the result of just playing around and letting the module take me to places.
There are several patching ideas and performances within the video. Feel free to check them all out and I really love the end performance but... in reality, I just love all the sounds I got from this wonderful filter.
For a more in depth overview and more patch ideas for this incredible Eurorack filter check out DivKid's impressive video:" [posted here]

Today I'll show you how I manage not to buy an original 909 by making my Analog Rytm MKII behave sort of like one. I'll show you how.
I'll also attempt at making some Aphex Twin & Atari Teenage Riot inspired beats with it.
It's going to be fun!"

5 Minutes With - Korg Odyssey Module
video upload by sonicstate
"Chris from @BOOelectric takes us through the Korg Odyssey Module (whiteface) highlighting what makes (or made) the Odyssey such a classic.
The unusual routing first used in the 2600 is what drives much of its unique sound, with ring mod and Osc sync providing a lot of attitude if you want it.
This is the Korg module, of course Behringer also do a keyboard version in their range too. Curiously though the Odyssey (module or otherwise) is not listed on the Korg.co.uk website."

MKSREC 1 - A workflow video
video upload by puesa
"A workflow video of me trying to rather unsuccessfully (or not?) fit in a random sample. You can hear some sample monitor action (sampling from my Technics SL1210MK2), step sequencer, adjusting sample start / end points, relative pitch action, briefly a ping pong loop, although bit pointless there. Anyway, the track needs more work..."
