"After having a crack at 'Reborn' from Hereditary in part 1, we asked Jamie in assembly what we should do next... and he definitely did suggest
'Halloween - Main Theme' by ‪@johncarpenter1‬. With a bit of light mathematics and Mod Lane tricks, we got Metropolix to sequence the whole thing.

Featuring:
Cascadia - Melody & Bass
VCO 1U - 2nd oscillator for the Bass
Flurry - Noise Pattern
Plonk - Thud
Sealegs - Delay & Reverb
Metropolix - Sequencing

Happy Halloween 🎃"

Halloween Theme ~ Vintage Synthesizer Recreation ~ RetroSound

"(c)2007-24 by RetroSound

❤️ Support #RetroSound channel: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com

One of my favorite movie tracks from the late 70s.
Halloween Theme by John Carpenter from the album Halloween (1978)

Featured here the Emulator II sampling synthesizer

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

Baptized in Nightmares (Circuit Tracks thru Koass Replay

video upload by HardtekStudios

"I had a recording of people whispering to each other that I heavily processed for some horror sound design. For this Halloween track, that is the main sound. The rest is a basic, un-nearving track I made using the Circuit Tracks. The voice recording is quite long, so I finished jamming with the Circuit Tracks and let the whisper tack play the rest of the way through. I added some Hall Reverb blasts from the Kaoss replay as some creepy accents."

Mastering Feedback: The Art of Sonic Chaos | Audrey II Synthesizer

video upload by Synthux Academy

"Feedback. Some avoid it at all costs. Others find the most haunting, electrifying sounds hidden within the noise. In this video, we explore how controlled feedback can be transformed from an unwanted screech into a powerful musical tool. Using the Audrey II synthesizer, we’ll show you how to capture, shape, and unleash feedback to create everything from eerie soundscapes to rich, sustained tones. Perfect for musicians and sound designers looking to push the boundaries of their craft—discover how feedback can add a whole new dimension to your music."

via Synthux Academy

"Audrey II is a horrorscape synthesizer designed for fearless exploration of feedback. Unpredictable yet compelling, it transforms chaotic sound into immersive soundscapes. From deep, haunting drones to screeching, otherworldly tones, Audrey II is a sonic beast like no other.

FEEDBACK SYNTHESIS?

What is feedback, really? It’s that magical moment when sound loops on itself, evolving into something wild. With Audrey II, we’re taking feedback to the next level using Karplus-Strong synthesis—a fancy term for turning short bursts of noise into rich, self-sustaining tones. Think digital strings, but way cooler.

DIGITAL WITCHCRAFT

Some say analog is the only way to get that sound… We were surprised too when we heard the first burst of noise coming through our headphones. That warmth, the grit, the unpredictability—it was all there. But here’s the twist: Audrey II is 100% digital, running on the almighty Daisy Seed platform.

Built from the ground up to emulate analog chaos, digital bits power every nuance of Audrey II’s feedback, distortion, and reverb-drenched echoes. It’s pure digital magic that doesn’t just imitate analog—it embraces and amplifies it. What you hear isn’t just a close approximation; it’s a whole new breed of sound that pushes digital synthesis into uncharted territory.

PRISTINE SOUND

Powered by the Daisy Seed microcontroller, Audrey II delivers 96kHz / 24-bit audio with the speed of an ARM Cortex-M7 at 480MHz. Equipped with 64MB of SDRAM, it handles complex feedback, drones, and effects seamlessly, pushing digital synthesis into rich, analog-like territory.

A Spectral Processing Playground! // Bandit (a creative mini filterbank) from Befaco

video upload by DivKid

"Whether you look at Befaco Bandit as a creative EQ, see multiband processing potential or as a creative mini filter bank … there’s a lot of potential for creative and unique spectral results patching with it. I’ve had loads of fun creating cohesive unique sonic spectrums blending multiple sources, novel ambient FX spaces, spectrum specific FX sends and plenty of smart routing options along the way. I think the results speak for themselves, I hope that comes across in the video."

BlueARP DM in the studio p.1: driving SR-909 drum machine

"In the studio with my partner STEDA Electronics, who makes SR-909 drum machine kits, TR-909 replicas: https://diystudiotoys.com/products/st...

BlueARP DM sequences drums, using SR-909 as a sound module and using 'trigger probability' settings, so there is a slight touch of randomness in this rhythm, which is impossible to do with 909's own sequencer.

Enjoy. BlueARP DM is still available from the same store https://diystudiotoys.com/products/om...

New MIDI Sound & Interface Card for the TRS-80

video upload by Michael Wessel

via Michael Wessel:

"I am building a MIDI sound & interface card for the TRS-80. The idea is to turn the TRS-80 into a capable MIDI pattern tracker and sequencer, and at the same time, add MIDI sound capabilities to it as well. TRS-80 software is still under development, but the hardware is final.

For now, I have a simple drum pattern sequencer - the TRS-80 is sending MIDI data to the on-board S2 Dreamblaster module for sound generation; in addition, MIDI data is also sent to the on-board MIDI DIN OUT socket. MIDI recording and playback of complex MIDI is also possible:"

MIDI/80 on the Model III - Realtime Recording of Very Complex MIDI Data
video upload by Michael Wessel

Some more videos in the MIDI/80 playlist:

"MIDI/80 uses the BluePill STM32 microcontroller and an Adafruit MIDI breakout board for MIDI DIN sockets. MIDI OUT is either to an (optional, plug-in) Waveblaster-compatible sound module (e.g., the S2 or X2GS from Serdashop), or to an external MIDI expander such as the Roland MT-32 or Roland SoundCanvas SC-55 (or to both!)

MIDI/80 will be OpeSource soon, and a Github repo with the PCB Gerbers, BluePill firmware, schematics, BOM, docuemntation, as well as TRS-80 software are in preparation and should be available soon."

Befaco - BANDIT

video upload by Befacosynth

"A spectral processing playground.
Bandit is a fun combination of band-pass filters, VCAs, and routing options.
It serves multiple functions including equalizer, crossover, multiband VCA, 4 band spectral mixer, and spectral external FX insert point.

It allows you to:
Cut or emphasize different frequency bands of a signal, acting as a voltage-controlled equalizer/isolator. Split a sound into four different frequency bands for external processing, and if needed, insert them back Mix four different signals with predefined tone placement in the mix.
Create four different sounds from one sound source by modulating the volume with four different envelopes. Create evolving timbres by modulating one or more frequency bands using LFOs or audio-rate modulation.

Patch notes:
The main melody comes from the Keystep
Even and Pony VCO go to Pony VCF
Percall trigs by Eloquencer in the percussive patch"

Arturia PolyBrute 12 - it's all in the subtle mods!

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

The ability to create ever changing textures and modulations with the PB12 is amazing, the morph function can be used to drastically change the sound, or (like in this case) bring in some additional textures and artifacts and modulations to further develop an ever evolving pad keeping the sound interesting without going too crazy.

I am one for subtle texture changes, ones that feel very musical, and this patch is one I could play for hours.

hope you enjoy!"

Novation Summit | Moog Sub-37 - "Climatic War Engine"

video upload by eM

"I kind of notice my patterns/playing style revolves with a similar sort of routine, this piece would be no different. I think for any musician while its wonderful to play for others, when it is just you, the heart find its home to where the natural just comes to fruition.

I was having a heart moment, in fact it was done prior to recording which I'm sure any of you folks who do such recordings have had those improv palm face moments of not hitting the record button sooner!

None the less, when it's between you and your instrument you can't always escape and tell the universe how its always going to play out, you just have to give into the moment and let it become part of you."

Behringer Edge+Crave Generative Modular Patches No Talk Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"«EC Generative» is a collection of 25 patches (+25 patterns for Crave) for semi-modular synthesizers Behringer EDGE + CRAVE.
⚙️ This genre of sound design is very popular in modular culture, and EDGE + CRAVE provide an excellent set of features to get you started. Controlled chaos, randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo variations, pattern uniqueness, alternating short and long sounds, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and FX-like tones, freaky splashes during sequences—all of these elements are included in the soundset.

🟪🟨 Get the soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/behr...

Generative timbres can add to or lead in ambient or techno tracks, jams, and performances. You can also record fragments into your DAW or sampler, slice them into one-shots, or create loops to obtain unique material for further processing.

🔮 The main focus of the soundset is a high level of interconnection. In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are intertwined and cannot exist separately:
🔸 They modulate each other with LFOs and envelopes.
🔸 A sequence from one synth alters parameters on the other.
🔸 Gates and triggers interact to disrupt predictable patterns.
🔸 Audio signals from OSCs may serve as modulation sources to create harmonies/intervals or wild, experimental inharmonic tones.
🔸 They may also be used as audio sources sent to the other synth for processing with its different filter and envelope, giving them a 'second life.'
