April 30th 2025 Patch Variation #2

video upload by John L Rice

"Just exploring the patch as one tends to do. Here I’m using a second Moon Modular 569 sequencer to control the first one instead of the sequential switch I used in the previous video [posted here]. The result was simpler but still interesting to me. I also changed up the synth voice a bit, using a MegaOhm LPG instead of the SSL tube VCA and processing its output with an Oakley/Krisp1 Flanger."

video upload by Cfpp0

"4/27-30/25 (16ths, 145 bpm) Metasonix D-2000 + RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & SPH-323 & TR-606 + ElectroComp EML 400/401 & EML 200 + DSP 808 + 2hp Comp + Soundforce S-LD + Peavey 1300 + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Paia 6740

The pumping drone that sounds like a harmonium is the ElectroComp EML 200 through a 2hp Comp module, with reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II and spring reverb from the Paia 6740. The bass pulse is the Metasonix D-2000, triggered by the MFB SEQ-1. The 16th note synth panned center is the Roland System 100m, sequenced by the RYK 185, through the Roland SPH-323 through the Peavey 1300. The 16th note synth line panned left is the EML 400/401. The percussion is the DSP 808 and the Soundforce S-LD, triggered by MFB SEQ-1 and ALM Pamela’s New Workout, which clocks everything."

Using Moon Modular Sequential Divider Switches To Control Sequencer Step Position

video upload by John L Rice

"I’ve long loved the Moon Modular 564 Sequential Switch (directly inspired by the PPG 313) and love the Moon 569 sequencer as well, but I’ve often wished that the 569 somehow had an additional row of switches that could be used to set how many clock pulses a step would stay on each position like the 564 does. This is my attempt to use two 564 switches with the 569 to make it happen, with some limitations. Of course using an external voltage controlled clock to drive the sequencer with one of the sequencer rows controlling the clock can achieve similar results, but that sort of patch isn’t as predictably playable."

SERGE INORI // Saigon 1975

video upload by Dexba

"50 years since the end of the war that showed the world how foolish wars are.

It's not a regional thing, it's not a sporadic thing: it's the core nature of war, that, finally, people were able to see towards the end of the Vietnam War.

When the plot gets so lost nobody even knows where they are going, who they are really fighting, what and why they are fighting, the blind brutality of the conflict becomes finally clear: the war for the war's sake.

This piece is an expressionist recording of the overstimulating nature of an armed conflict – there are helicopters, indistinctly passing by and falling, monkeys (who maybe were once humans?) screaming from the jungle, there is warfare, and it's relentless.

A quick note on the instrument: without my SERGE system, I would have never recorded this piece. It's hard to state if it came first the egg of wanting to record this genre of music or the chicken of my 4U modular, but the only unequivocal is that, to me, Serge means first and foremost an artistic legacy, and without even naming names, I always felt the pressure to make my time spent with the instrument worth a bit more than the quick enjoyment of some electronic strumming.

The freedom of the highest latitude of exploration possible with a SERGE instrument is what made it possible, having the confidence that my creativity, and my skills, were the only limiting factors in the equation, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to do this and share it with all of you."

ULT-SOUND Introduces DS-4M ProMuzer

Short Demo: Polyphonic Mode video upload by Freaky Tweaky

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."

Your Modular Synthesizer's Best Friend Is The Digitakt II

video upload by EZBOT

"I can't imagine using my modular without having a sampler present to capture the unique and one-time sounds you get from your modular synthesizer. My go-to sampler for everything is the Digitakt II, if not that, than the Octatrack or M8 Tracker. Today we will dive into the workflow of writing music and sampling a eurorack system built around 2 voices with lots of effects."

Futureretro SWYNX Available in Extremely Limited Quantities & Other Updates / Tariff News

via Futureretro

Futureretro Swynx available in super limited quantities ONLY through our online store.

Using recently found old stock parts, Futureretro has built and is offering the long out of production SWYNX in super limited quantities (less than 10 units available). These use the same chassis, circuit boards, and parts as the original run (knobs are slightly different) and serves as a test for a possible re-introduction of the unit into the Futureretro catalogue in the near future.

The Swynx is a sync box that converts incoming MIDI messages to MIDI clock, DIN sync, CR-78 clock, and Analog clocks. In addition, the Swynx provides the ability to swing the timing of all these clock outputs and select different time signatures in real-time with the front panel controls, and can also act as a CR-78 pattern programmer. After you try it in your setup, you will realize just what you've been missing. For instance, many DIN sync devices do not provide a built-in swing function. And many MIDI sequencers and drum machines suffer from poor implementation of swing, preventing changes to be made live, or only providing swing for 4/4 patterns. Quite a few MIDI sequencers don't offer any swing function, including our own 777 and Mobius products. Now you can apply swing to any MIDI sequencer, and select new time signatures as well Need to sync your analog sequencer or arpeggiator with MIDI gear? No problem! Not only can you do so, but now you can swing the timing of those devices as well. You can even use the analog clock output to Gate the envelopes in a synthesizer. The clock duty cycle is 50% of a note duration. If you are a Roland CR-78 owner, you may have realized finding a WS-1 or TS-1 to program the CR-78 is next to impossible. The Swynx can replicate the programming capabilities of these units, plus provide sync to MIDI, and realtime swing adjustment. The ability to add swing to the CR-78's preset patterns alone will breathe new life into this old friend. The Swing value is accurate to 0.5% providing much more control resolution than is typically found in sequencers and drum machines. The Swynx provides 12 different time signatures to choose from. Some time signatures are duplicate, but provide different shuffle patterns for that time signature. Time signatures include 9/8, 7/8, 6/8, 5/8, 2/4, 4/4, 8/4, 3/4, and 6/4. The Swynx is all about making the gear you have sound better!

Swynx Features
Converts MIDI messages to MIDI clock, DIN sync, CR-78 clock, and analog clock
Can be used as a CR-78 pattern programmer
Control over the swing amount
Swing - 50% - 75% (0.5% resolution)
Time-signatures include 9/8, 7/8, 6/8, 5/8, 2/4, 4/4, 8/4, 3/4, and 6/4

No more NEW Vectra units will be sent out to stores after this month.
We have a very small order to fill with one US Store that will be filled by the end of May. After that, we will be out of Vectra parts and do not plan on restocking the product. The build time and cost is too excessive for us to continue this unique product. If you are wanting a Vectra and have not yet ordered a unit, the time to get them is now. Please check with your favorite stores for availability.

The 777
Many have asked, many are waiting and wanting to know details. ALL we can say at this point is that this product has been sent back to engineering. The 777 project has been a major undertaking and while close, seemingly minor issues have been exaggerated by parts availability. We continue to work towards this goal but no further information is available.

Furthermore, NO NEW manufacturing can be put in place until tariff issues are worked out.

DUSTING OFF // AnalogFX SER-2020 // Part 2 // No Talking

video upload by LESINDES

"Rebuilt of the ultra rare SYNTON SYRINX Dutch keyboard synth.
I cannot compare but the unusual filter setting of
2 bandpass and 1 lowpass VCFs, with 4 different routings
give a lot of modulation freedom and rendition of rather unusual sounds.

Since I am not a fan of black gear. I tried my best in 2023 and contacted
ANALOG FX. And they had been so kind as to manufacture a
custom blue face synth which I have only seen in some
preproductions units and, of course, in the historic
SYRINX which was available also in red.

For the image angle had to use the wide angle and so only a quite low resolution. So there is not much detail. Sorry for that."

Creating HUGE oscillator tones with OCCULT (+ Ouija & Wand) & the Nekyia Circuits Eurorack range

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the 3 new Nekyia Circuits Eurorack modules - Occult, Ouija and Wand. We'll focus on the star of the show here, the TZFM, sub octave generating, Ian Fritz double pulser wave shaping and external crossfading oscillator OCCULT! However we use Wand to crossfade at audio rates into new tones and Ouija for some musical ring mod too.

It's been a pleasure to check out the existing modules and to use those alongside the new ones here. As always the focus is to provide ideas and techniques while demonstrating how things work. So I hope you can take some of the patches to try out.

It features nine simultaneously available wave outputs: Sine, Triangle, Square and Pulse, a PWM Saw, Sub -1 and Sub -2, plus the outputs of Shaper and an interesting Pulser waveshaper circuit. Pulser is a waveshaper based on the “double pulser” circuit by Ian Fritz, able to produce exotic, rich sounding waveforms. The Shaper section adds a crossfader which can mix between the normalized Sine wave or any other external input and the Pulser or the also includes a TZFM input with an attenuator control, capable of producing more musical and complex FM tones than for every parameter as well as FM options make Occult a very versatile oscillator for sonic exploration!

4/27/25 Roland System 100m & SPH 323 + Peavey 1300 + Ace Tone MP-4 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"4/27/25 RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & SPH 323 Phase Shifter + Peavey 1300 + Ace Tone MP-4 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

I was going for Burzum low fidelity with the Peavey 1300 overloading and the Ace Tone MP-4 spring reverb feedbacking. Anyways, ALM Pamela’s New Workout clocks the right RYK Modular 185, which gates one of the Roland 140 envelopes and the left RYK 185, which gates the other envelope. Each 185 modulates the pitch of one Roland 110 VCO and VCF, while the VCFs are also modulated by LFOs from the 140 and 150 modules. The 140 envelopes control the two 110 VCAs, which are mixed on a Roland 132 and sent through the Roland SPH-323 Phase Shifter into the Peavey 1300 delay. The Ace Tone MP-4 is patched into itself for feedback as it further distorts the delayed signal and adds spring reverb."

VCO vs VA // Delia vs Nina - there's more to it than that

video upload by Starsky Carr

"What's the difference sonically? I've not heard these 2 demo'd side by side in depth. We know the specs - Melbourne Instruments Nina has 12 voices, each containing 2 VCOS plus a digital oscillator, and the Melbourne Instruments Delia uses virtual analog to do the same thing with 6 voices - with some 'Paraphonic PLUS' 12 voice modes.

There are other additions in the Delia, like FM, an extra LFO and envelope plus oyu can have dual effects in parallel or serial.

BUT.. what's the consequence of replacing the VCOs with the VA oscillators?"

The sequences are mainly from the Korg SQ64 - but I've also used Behringer 960 to do some things, as well as getting the SQ64 to trigger the 182 sequencer - see if you can spot it :)

Vocoder bit was done on the Roland E4. Other strings and sounds were from Streichfett, Pro 800 and Novation Peak. Effects are MXR Flanger or in the Modular system: Strymon Magneto, Intellijel Sealegs, Feedback Modules 106 Chorus."

Resonance Studios Disrupts Industry Standards, Revives Vintage Gear with Bold Expansion

Press release follows:

Stockport, United Kingdom – April 28, 2025 – Resonance Studios, launched on 808 Day (August 8, 2024), is fearlessly challenging the music industry’s practice of abandoning vintage equipment. By committing to the preservation of these iconic instruments, the Stockport-based studio has curated one of the world’s largest collections of new and vintage musical equipment, earning its place among the top six global hubs for synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers. Guided by its principles of inclusivity and sustainability, Resonance Studios employs expert in-house technicians to sustain this legacy, empowering artists with unmatched access to historic gear.

Expansion Plans
In late 2024, Resonance Studios expanded its team with Producer Tom Sharkett (Pictured) and invested in the latest, state-of-the-art SSL Origin analogue mixing console, complemented by a premium array of outboard equipment, including Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor, Empirical Labs Distressors, Lexicon 224, and Neve Shelford Channel. In 2025, the studio will double its footprint by adding another floor to its premises which is located less than half a mile from the iconic Strawberry Studios. The expansion includes a dedicated repair workshop, a vocal recording booth, a drum recording area, a live room— Where Jimi Hendrix famously performed in 1967—and a sophisticated relaxation and listening lounge for guests.

Connecting Past And Present
The studio’s collection has been further enriched with the incredibly rare Yamaha DX1, Analogue Solutions Colossus, and a Yamaha CP80, previously owned by Strawberry Studios and used by the renowned band 10cc. These acquisitions underscore Resonance Studios’ dedication to merging musical heritage with modern innovation.

'We’ve been delighted with the reaction from the community to our unique studio. It’s a testament to the team how far we have come in less than 12 months,” said John Pilkington, Founder. “Our 2025 expansion, including the iconic Jimi Hendrix live room, an additional technician and enhanced vocal and drum recording reflects our mission to redefine music production and empower artists to create without boundaries.'

Social Responsibility
Resonance Studios reinvests 97% of its profits into maintaining and acquiring equipment, ensuring accessibility for artists of all backgrounds. The remaining 3% is donated to Shelter, a charity supporting the homeless, reflecting the studio’s social responsibility. Every three months, the studio also provides an unsigned artist with a complimentary full day of recording, mixing, and mastering to nurture emerging talent. In 2025, the studio will also be taking on an apprentice technician to learn and preserve the skills required to maintain this specialist equipment.

With its historic live room, expanded facilities, and resolute commitment to preserving musical heritage, Resonance Studios is setting a new global benchmark for music production.

Press release follows:

Exquis: expressive, MPE, intuitive, affordable, now optimised for Ableton Live

[Superbooth25] Intuitive Instruments, the French company behind the award‑winning Exquis ex‑pressive MPE keyboard, unveils a triple update that turns its flagship instrument into the ultimate, lightweight and compact creative hub for Ableton Live users

Unlike pad‑centric grid controllers optimised for finger‑drumming and loop triggering, Exquis responds like a real acoustic instrument: its 61 soft silicone keys, each with independent five‑dimension MPE control, provide the nuanced touch and emotional depth needed for flowing melodies and harmonically rich chords.

Exquis Remote‑Control Script for Ableton Live

The brand‑new Python‑based Remote Script integrates Exquis seamlessly into Live’s native controller family, delivering Launchpad‑style Session control and an instrument‑grade expressive touch—courtesy of its MPE twist—that makes playing melodies and chords feel effortlessly natural:

• Session view – create, launch and delete clips or scenes without touching the mouse.

• Track mastery – arm, select, mute and solo any track, and get immediate access to volume, pan and aux sends

• Expressive performance – chords, melodies and drum racks flow through all 61 soft silicone keys with independant and
polyphonic 5 dimensions controls.

• Hands‑on transport & harmony – set Live’s tempo, root note and scale directly from Exquis.

• Per‑track note layouts – recall any of the keyboard’s eight onboard layouts (or your own customs) automatically when you change tracks — instantly reconfiguring Exquis into a specific instrument for every track, be it a bass, a percussive grid, or a soaring solo lead.

• One‑touch Favourites – call up Live racks or plugin presets in a heartbeat via Exquis’ exclusive favourites system.

• Device & mix control – tweak any parameter on any device and any track with using four push encoders and ten action buttons.

The script installs like any official Ableton controller template and requires Live 12.

Firmware v2.1 — Poly‑Hold Sustain & Developer Mode

In keeping with Intuitive Instruments’ drive for constant refinement, firmware v2.1 delivers two
headline additions:

• Poly‑Hold Sustain – let chords ring out indefinitely while the onboard arpeggiator conti‑ nues to evolve.

• Developer Mode – an open MIDI API that exposes every hardware element—keys, en‑ coders, action buttons, RGB LEDs and even onboard memory—so developers can remap behaviours, write custom DAW scripts or integrate Exquis into bespoke performance setups.

The update also packs an array of stability improvements for an even smoother playing expe‑rience.

Exquis App v2 — New factory preset list and 1 500 Curated Presets

The companion software for macOS/Windows receives new factory preset list featuring hand‑picked, layout‑optimised patches for Surge XT, Vital and Decent Samplerand a vast sound‑library expansion bringing 1 250 new sounds tuned for Surge XT, Vital, Decent Sampler, Baby Audio Atom, Beatsurfing Random, Dawesome Abyss, Zyklus, Audiomodern Soun‑ dbox and Newfangled Audio Pendulate — now 1 500 presets in total.

Superbooth 2025 and Embodme.

Intuitive Instruments will attend the Superbooth 2025: booth O134, in the mezzanine of the main hall, side to Expressivee and Embodme.

Introducing Oberheim TVS Pro by GForce Software

video upload by GForce Software

"More info at https://www.gforcesoftware.com/produc...

In 1975, Tom Oberheim revolutionised synthesiser design with the original TVS – Two Voice Synthesizer. By combining two SEMs and a keyboard, he introduced true duophony to the world—enabling musicians to play two independent voices simultaneously and explore harmonically rich, evolving soundscapes. It was a bold step forward, embraced by visionaries including Martin Gore, Adrian Utley, Peter Baumann, Lorn, The Prodigy, and Nils Frahm.

Decades later, the TVS Pro modernised that vision, adding a built-in sequencer, extended modulation, and refined controls—all while staying true to its unmistakable sonic DNA.

Now, with the GForce Oberheim TVS Pro plugin, this landmark instrument enters a new era. Developed in collaboration with Oberheim, this recreation captures not only the depth, warmth and character of the original, but also the spirit of innovation that made it extraordinary.
