Weather is FAR TOO NICE for GEAR
video upload by AudioPilz
"Hey everybody, it is August 2025 and the weather here in Vienna is far too nice for gear. However, you wouldn’t be watching videos of me chilling at the local beer garden so I combined a few electronic musical instruments to three different setups for every budget and took them to some of my favorite places around here where there is no power outlet in sight.
The rules are simple: no iPads, no laptops and - most importantly - the setups need to be operable independent from the power grid. Diesel generators and solar cells aside, there are basically three ways to do that and I dedicated a setup to each of these methods.

Summon the Darkness - Arp Of Darkness & Seventh Summoner eurorack performanceIMG 5565
video upload by FlatSix Modular
"A one take performance, pairing the Seventh Summoner with the Arp Of Darkness showing how the two used together can turn a small rig into a full featured performance case.
Patch Notes: All clicking duties are handled by Pam’s Pro Workout.
Voice 1 is sequenced by the Seventh Summoner and consists of the vowel patch on Braids through the Ensembles patch on the MFX and then into the retro patch on a Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio with the “MultiVersio” firmware flashed to it. The vowel patch is being modulated by Ebb & LFO patch on the Ornament & Crime running the Phaserville Suite
Voice 2 is a saw wave oscillator from the Disting MK4 processed through a Pittsburgh Modular low pass filter, and being sequenced by Sequence X on an Ornament & Crime module with the Phaserville Suite firmware running.
Voice 3 is being arpeggiated by the Arp Of Darkness, and is made up of a swarm & harm patch on the Neutron Sound Dust of Time running through a ping pong delay on another Disting MK4 by Expert Sleepers.
In-Case Drums are being handled by an Erica Synths Pico Drums module running through A low pass filter on another Disting MK4 and into Data Bender by Qu-Bit for glitching duties.
All outputs run through a Kombucha by WGD for delay send duties and then into a Befaco STMIX for mix down to an Intellijel Headphones output in the 1U row.
Additional drums provided by the K.O. II by Teenage Engineering running my own personal samples."

Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll Goes Granular With the 3rd Wave and Samples
video upload by Groove Synthesis
"Check out this short video sent to us by Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll, in which he puts the 3rd Wave’s new sample modulation capabilities to the test. Learn more about the 3rd Wave at https://www.groovesynthesis.com
Paul Hartnoll, one half of the legendary electronic duo Orbital, has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music since their breakthrough 1989 hit "Chime" helped define the UK rave scene. Known for their innovative live performances and genre-defining albums like "In Sides" and "Snivilisation," Orbital's influence on electronic music spans over three decades, making Paul's exploration of the 3rd Wave's capabilities particularly compelling.
In the video, Paul makes great use of sample start modulation, a feature added in OS 1.9a of the 3rd Wave 24K synth, allowing velocity and other sources to dynamically shift sample start points for expressive performance control. He created a sequence of 48th notes in Ableton Live, using its note split mode, and gently randomized the notes’ velocity. He then modulates the sample start in the 3rd Wave oscillator with the note velocity to create, in effect, a granular sampler. You can then also use velocity (or any other parameter) to control the filter cutoff and spread the samples out into the stereo field with the pan spread control.
The 3rd Wave 24K is a 24-voice, 4-part multi-timbral wavetable synth with 3 oscillators per voice, analog low-pass filters, a state-variable filter, 6-stage wave envelopes per oscillator, and an industry-first Wavemaker™ tool that allows users to create custom wavetables in a single step through its proprietary sample-to-wave technology. Each of its three oscillators can generate a classic PPG-era wavetable, a modern high-resolution wavetable, virtual-analog synthesis, linear FM, and sampling.
While the 3rd Wave has roots in the classic digital wavetable synths of the past, it takes the concept firmly into the 21st century with a lush, expansive sound and innovative features that synths of the 80ies could only dream of.

Multivox Rhythm Ace FR6M & FR60 drum machine with speaker and mic input

7/6/23 Multivox Rhythm Ace FR6M into Ibanez DD 700 (BOSSA NOVA)
video upload by Cfpp0
via this Reverb listing
"This is the Multivox FR6M Rhythm Ace, but a rare one that has the FR60 on the side in the same wooden housing, with slits in the left side for the speaker to pump out the beats and whatever is plugged into the mic input.
There are 1/4” outputs on the back. If nothing is plugged into the output then the beats are played through the speaker. If you insert a cable into the output jack the speaker is bypassed. There’s a volume knob that also is your on and off power switch. There’s a balance knob so you can hear just percussion or percussion and hi hats. In the video posted in the photos section of this listing you can hear it start off with the balance fully clockwise and a lot of cymbals, then I fade it counterclockwise and it has an effect almost like a lowpass filter. You can hold down more than one button to select more than one beat. You can get just a four on the floor and many variations with the three white buttons that correspond to the switch knob. And of course there is a tempo knob. The mode switch is a nice feature. Each beat has a variation A or variation B mode, but you can also select auto, which will play each variation in succession.
Our tech recently installed a new three-prong power cable and tried to eliminate the faint hum the unit makes, but it’s still there. It’s not a ground hum or anything you would hear in the signal, but more like the sound when a guitar amp is on. Also, once in a while if you’re doing a lot of beat changes a button may fly off. I just put it back when I’m done. It’s fun."

Ellitone groov-e & Hologram Microcosm dreamscape

"Fooling around with the Ellitone groov-e generative groove cloth(?!).
Happy accidents only please.
The groov-e does not allow for much in the way of traditional "controls".
Just imagine yourself to be a DJ from a world where music devices are created from scraps of burlap and preloaded with a jumble of random samples accompanied by the rhythm section of a 1980s Casio keyboard that has been circuit bent beyond recognition.
Nothing to sync, save, "dial in", or even plan for. An exercise in chaos!
The Microcosm is the glue that holds it together."
BEST SOUNDING DIGITAL SYNTHESIZER - Synclavier II - Synclav com

"This month Synhouse starts year number 27.
Synhouse has fully restored and shipped many, many dozens of systems in the last three decades and this work continues in 2025.
Shown here is the testing of a 16-voice setup just before export shipping. These are the later revision SS7X version of the Synclavier II Stereo Option synthesizer voices, playing notes and sustained chords for several minutes while listening.
Relatively few Synclavier 9600s were made, even fewer with the synthesizer voices installed, but those that had them used this exact type of bin (SB25) and voice card (SS7X, eXtended style), plus a very few Synclaviers of the PSxx series used them as well. Synhouse stocks these and Synhouse manufactures these (SB25, SS7X, etc.) and has them in the Synclavier store on the Synclav.com website.

It's a stereo signal running into my Apollo x4 interface. No FX/Reverb, just pure, raw Matrix 12 goodness.
This is the Japanese version, which has some differences in design from its U.S. counterpart. But still has the same incredible sound.
The last sound is simply sawtooth on both oscillators with the filter wide open. Even so it's quite stunning."

"An ambient degenerative drone patch. No arpeggiator or sequencers were used. Oscillator two is synced to Oscillator one. LFO 1 and LFO 2 are modulating the frequency of Oscillator two with non-synchronized sample & hold waveforms. The filters are in series in bandpass mode, and are being modulated slowly with a sine wave from the modulation oscillator. Plenty of diffusion delay is added, along with Moogerfooger Clusterflux chorus and plenty of reverb. It's all one track, recorded as is. Machine melodies.

Behringer UB-Xa: 64 Arp Presets Vintage & Modern. Sound Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"🌌 Analog Flow is a collection of 64 arp presets for the Behringer UB-Xa analog synthesizer. The bank covers a wide range of arpeggio timbres: warm, deep, dreamy, soft, noisy, bright, dark, distorted, cold, metallic. You can also disable the arpeggio mode and get a collection of diverse plucks.
Since the UB-Xa is a recreation of a vintage classic, this collection embraces its retro character—highlighting detuning, subtle noise, and analog warmth to evoke the sonic aesthetics of the 70s and 80s.
The patches are infused with nostalgic charm and are perfect for adding that vintage soul to your tracks.
📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/ub-x...
📼 One of the unique features of the UB-Xa is its Atrophy profiles—emulations of various stages of vintage wear and drift. All presets and audio demos were created using the default Profile 1, but you're encouraged to explore them with other profiles to discover variations in brightness, tuning, and stereo width. This adds another layer of expression and depth to the sounds.
🎛 Each preset is performance-ready, with velocity sensitivity and ModWheel assignments mapped for expressive control. The ModWheel introduces additional modulations — such as brightness or movement — offering creative flexibility for both studio production and live performance.
🧿 The soundset is universal, the arpeggios are suitable for all genres of electronic music, including Techno, House, Trance, Lounge, Downtempo, Synthwave, Retrowave, Pop, Indie, IDM, Drum'n'Bass, Breakbeat, Electro, Ambient, Synth-Pop and others.
Ambient | YAMAHA TQ5 FM Synth

"Raw FM textures for forward-thinking bass music producers
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
This pack captures the unmistakable character of Yamaha’s late 1980s 4-operator FM synths, with all their sharp digital edges and lo-fi charm intact. The TQ5, often hidden in the shadow of its more famous siblings, holds a unique place in synthesis history. It delivers angular, glassy tones that feel both futuristic and retro, with a sound design potential that quietly laid the groundwork for timbres now celebrated in modern club music.
Created for producers who care about texture, this collection offers bass and drum sounds with a distinct edge. Artifacts, aliasing, and resolution quirks are not just preserved but embraced, giving each sample a bite that generic VSTs rarely achieve.

Introducing Erosia – the hidden sounds of friction | Native Instruments
video upload by Native Instruments
Update: press release follows:
Harness sounds of friction and tension, transforming them into powerful sonic storytelling devices
Berlin, August 28, 2025 – Native Instruments has announced Erosia, a new cinematic sound design engine that turns the raw friction, scraping, bowing, and cracking of overlooked objects into living cinematic textures. Erosia creates morphing and modulating soundscapes from materials under strain, from ice crackling across cymbals to glass vases straining under tension. Explore a palette of bowed bicycle spokes, dry ice, abandoned buildings, rusted hinges, cracked pianos, and more; each stretched to reveal a hidden resonance.
Created with veteran sound designer and composer Jeremiah Savage, the sound artist behind acclaimed Kontakt instruments like Kinetic Metal and Kinetic Toys, Erosia comes loaded with over 200 expressive snapshots, providing ready-to-use starting points for any cinematic composition. By pairing contact microphones with traditional close-miking, Erosia captures the best of both worlds: the hidden, tactile vibrations inside materials, and the natural resonance and space around them. This dual approach reveals textures that are at once microscopic and cinematic.
At the heart of Erosia are three powerful engines: Grain, Wavetable, and Sampler. Grain fractures and animates textures, Wavetable adds evolving harmonic color, and Sampler preserves realism.
Artists can layer up to four sources, while creative macros and modulation via LFOs, envelopes, and sequencers offer countless ways to animate and evolve sound. A comprehensive FX page provides further built-in creative control with a suite of reverbs, delays, saturation, and more, all available for modulation.
Key Features:
· Over 200 expressive snapshots designed for cinematic scoring.
· An eclectic palette of textures captured with contact microphones in microscopic detail.
· Three powerful sound engines: Grain, Wavetable, and Sampler
· Layer up to four sound sources for complex, evolving timbres.
· Deep modulation control featuring LFOs, envelopes, and sequencers.
· Creative built-in FX with reverbs, delays, saturation, distortion, and modulation effects for each layer.

Circuit Bent Feedback Generator / Video Synth / Video processor by LoFi Future
video upload by LoFiFuture
"A rough and ready demo of this one off feedback generator I built a while back using a fancy-schmancy Silicon Image iScan Pro!
Availible to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...
This unit is capable of producing some insanely intricate and evolving feedback loops on its own and it can also be used as a video processor to colourise and glitch out composite video signals for some very 80s looking posterized visuals.
The interface is simple, the upper part housing the built in preview screen also has directional controls and an illuminated zoom button for controlling the position of the image on screen.
The main control surface features:
-3 oversized 45mm knobs for controlling the Red, Green and Blue levels
-5 small knobs that control brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness
-6 toggle switches for triggering circuit bends that are wired into the Silicon Image iScan board for some glitch effects!
The unit features a 12V power input a composite output (PAL and NTSC) and a switchable composite input (so you can switch from feedback loop mode to video processor mode without rewiring anything)"
"This feedback generator / video synth is based on a very nice Silicon Image iScan composite to VGA scaler that features analog potentiometers to control brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness. This is something I have not been able to find on another model of composite to VGA converter and they seem fairly hard to come by.

Deux Chevaux (2hp - get it?)
video upload by Memetune Studio
"Here I am exploring some 2hp tiny little euro rack modules - putting them up against one of the first and mightiest modulars of all time
The 2hp modules are: 2 x Loop, a Pitch and a Delay - and the combination gets us some very nice (in my opinion) 'Concrete' behaviour
This piece is pretty much a live performance, I set up 1 pass of the Buchla going to Loop module 1, set it to loop round, repeated this going to Loop 2 and then I had a live pass going through the Pitch and Delay which I messed about with alongside manipulating the Buchla settings (mostly Gate attack and decay settings, and controlling 3 VCOs pitch with the Touch Keys)
The 3 mono channels were panned and recorded down at the same time - kinda playing along to the Loops in real time. The video was faked - ie I ran out of hands so I filmed it afterwards, but you can see the patch cables - they are the same as the recording patch
Hope that makes sense
Bye!"
Explaining Solar installation quantum cloud
video upload by errorinstruments paul tas
"Solar Installation — A Music Box from the Future
Solar Installation is an experimental synthesizer — a bridge between art, sound, and technology. It reimagines how we interact with music, offering a different and deeply artistic way to explore and create sounds.
At its core lies a patch bay that opens up endless sonic possibilities. By experimenting with its connections, you can discover countless “sweet spots” where unexpected textures and tones emerge. The engine itself is alive with movement, evolving harmonics, and shifting layers of sound.
An integrated effects processor lets you transform these tones even further, adding lo-fi echoes, delays, and atmospheric modulations to shape entirely new sonic landscapes.
What truly sets Solar Installation apart is its dual-mode oscillators. Each of the four oscillators can be controlled in two unique ways:
• Precision Mode – using traditional potentiometers for accurate, tactile manipulation.
• Light Interaction Mode – using highly sensitive light sensors that respond to movement and changes in illumination.
This makes the instrument behave like an interactive installation. By positioning it in different lighting environments or allowing natural shadows to play across its sensors, the machine evolves on its own, creating ever-changing, generative music.
Sometimes, it behaves like a futuristic music box — a self-driven system producing evolving patterns, unexpected harmonies, and “happy accidents.” It invites you to let go of control and embrace the beauty of randomness, where sound becomes an organic, living experience.
Solar Installation exists between instrument and sculpture, science and art, intention and chaos. It’s not just about making music — it’s about exploring possibilities.

OXI Instruments Introduces Split 2 and Split 2hp
video upload by OXI Instruments
"Today we’re looking at the brand new OXI Split 2 and Split 2hp — two tiny but powerful tools that make it easier than ever to connect your OXI One to all your instruments.
We’ll walk you through what’s new, how they work, and why they might be the missing piece in your setup."
"The OXI Split 2, MIDI breakout box, is an efficient and inexpensive solution for users whose setup relies on MIDI connections. It is the easiest way to connect several MIDI devices, such as synths or drum machines, to the OXI One.
The Split provides:
2x MIDI DIN Out
4x MIDI TRS Outs
Select Between MIDI Out or MIDI Thru
It increases data transfer capacity and the number of MIDI channels up to 96.
To use it, simply connect the Split to the OXI One with the TRS cable included.
OXI Split 2 works for OXI One and OXI One MKII. But it doesn’t work when connected to other MIDI devices."
Tangible Waves CD40106 Oscillator BRAEDBOARD Build and JAM

1. CD40106 Oscillator BRAEDBOARD Build and JAM 1|🎶🔌🎹 | #synthesizer #electronicmusic #diysynth
I got a BRAEDBOARD (not a typo) breadboard module for an AE modular synth a while ago. I've only just managed to install it. So I thought I'd try some example circuits out from the AE modular Wiki, just to see if it works ok, and also before I go onto something more complex.2. CD40106 FM Oscillator 2 |🎶🔌🎹 | #synthesizer #electronicmusic #diysynth
00:00 Intro to the BRAEDBOARD.
01:19 Fitting the module into the synthesizer.
03:55 Building the CD40106 oscillator.
04:46 Trying out with the basic oscillator.
05:56 Adding a filter to it. Altering cutoff and resonance.
06:57 Sequencing the filter cutoff.
08:35 The rest of the jam.
Building a rough CD4106 FM oscillator on a breadboard and making some horrible sounds with it......
Also running it through a sequenced filter and adding some lofi drums.
Dialing a Phone is Playing a Song
video upload by MAKEN0ISE
"'Dialing a phone is playing a song,' says guest host Pete! In this video, we discuss the informational-sonics of the Touch Tone age, as well as strategies for synthesizing these nostalgic sounds with gear you likely have at home!
Timestamps for the various topics covered can be found below:
Intro: 0:00
Tone Dialing Frequencies: 1:05
Tuning Strategy: 2:51
Dial Tone: 3:27
Ringback Tone: 4:09
Busy Tone: 4:46
Handset Speaker: 6:08
Dial-Up Modem: 8:56
Outro: 11:10
Tuning is a big part of the patches covered here, and the frequencies referenced throughtout can all be found in this document: https://condor.depaul.edu/sjost/361/m...
Additionally, as indicated in the overview of the final patch, recommended settings can be found below:
"The Dial-Up Modem"
To begin, press PGM-A and PGM-B together to enter the 0-Coast's Arpeggiator mode.
Next, engage Cycle on Slope and set Rise and Fall fully CCW, with Shape set to Expo. Patch the EOC out to the Tempo input of the 0-Coast's Clock section.
Panel settings
Balance: fully CCW
Contour: Onset is CCW, Sustain is CW, Decay is 9:00 or so. Shape is your choice but Log is a good place to start.
Oscillator pitch is around 10:00
Overtone and Multiply do not matter in this patch— with Balance set fully CCW we will not be hearing their effects.
Dynamics: 3:00
Finally, patch a MIDI controller to the 0-Coast's MIDI input and play some chords— the arpeggiator will cycle through them at audio rate, producing timbres similar to those of the classic Dial-Up Modem sound.
What are some of your favorite sounds from the Touch Tone age? Do you ever use them in your music? Share memories and links in the comments below!
