Remembering Dave Smith: A Prophet-5 Story

video upload by INHALTVIDEO

"Today is the anniversary of Dave Smith’s passing, and every year on this day, I find myself reflecting not just on the incredible instruments he created, but on the friendship we built and the tremendous support he gave me in my career.

One of the projects I’m most proud to have been a part of is the reissue of the Prophet-5. I had the honor of contributing to its development, from long conversations and persistent hassling about voice allocation to the privilege of crafting patches for the final instrument. One of those patches—my take on the true essence of the Prophet-5—became the very first one you hear when you turn it on: patch 111.

To have my work live inside such an iconic synthesizer, and to have shared time and ideas with the man who brought it to life—not once, but multiple times—is something I’ll always carry with deep gratitude. Thank you, Dave, for your friendship, your brilliance, and your contributions to music that ripple out endlessly."

The EV: A New Digital/Acoustic Hybrid Stringed-Instrument Synthesizer

video upload by Brian Lindgren

"The EV is a new digital/acoustic hybrid stringed-instrument synthesizer. The instrument’s FFT convolution algorithms combined with the unique and expressive synthesizer create a gritty and textured realism. Using a novel pitch-tracking technology the instrument achieves both high accuracy and low latency; in this way it overcomes the hurdles that have historically plagued pitch-tracking or ‘MIDI’ stringed-instruments. Most importantly, the EV is reliable, expressive, and enjoyable-to-play. The most unique feature of the EV is its sound. While the pitch-tracking technology allows for a responsive and accurate playing experience (which cannot be overvalued), the FFT convolution unlocks new dimensions of sonic possibility and a uniquely responsive electronic instrument. The parametric customizability of the synthesizers, transfer functions, and FFT engines (not to mention the timbral-responsive nature of the FFT convolution algorithms) allows for a responsive and far-reaching sonic palette. Most synthesizers utilize an interface for pitch input that forces the player to adhere to a ‘Western’ twelve-tone scale system, for example, a keyboard. As the EV is a fretless stringed-instrument, it allows for the creation of synthesized music of any particular tuning system. In this way it suggests the creation of music beyond the Western canon, suggesting myriad musical possibilities."

Bentley Rhythm Ace 60's Vintage Drum Machine

video upload by David Bessell

"Tips on how to work with vintage drum machines in a modern context. You can not easily just sample the sounds in early drum machines because they typically have just one mono out and little control over the individual sounds. Additionally sampling such analogue sources removes the liveliness and timing quirks that people like about these machines. Of course they also have no way of easily synching to a DAW although most DAW's can derive a custom tempo map from the audio they produce providing its close to the intended tempo."

Uranograph test #2

video upload by Giorgio Sancristoforo

"If you asked me what the 21st century synthesizer should be like, I would say the Uranograph without a doubt. The integration of the looper inside the synthesizer, its modulation capabilities, its effects, its ergonomics conceived for performance, its immediate controls and its design, make it a unique, futuristic and incredibly fun instrument.

For many years we have seen the 70s repeat themselves, the Uranograph created by the guys from Clank instead takes you into the future. How refreshing!

Thanks to ‪@clank_modular‬ for sending me a ticket to outer space!"

CS40M by Benge

video upload by Memetune Studio

"The Yamaha CS40M is one of my favourite mono synths (actually its duo phonic)

When evaluating a synth, I like to do the Minimoog Test (maybe the first and actual best mono?) which goes like this:

1 - is it a big analogue vintage mono synth with wooden bits

2 - does it sound as good as a Minimoog

3 - does it do anything a Minimoog can't do

if the answer to any of the above is 'yes' then I want one, quite badly

(BTW, the CS40M ticks two of the above, can you guess which ones?)"

"Bought this synth from a local ad, didn't know much about it, except that it has full MIDI CC implementation, which is insane considering it's 40 years old! Also, there's an iPad app that makes it really easy to tweak the sound. This is my first test with the app and it's pretty straightforward. No talking, as always! There were some glitches in the recording, so I had to cut some small sections, hence the transitions.

Ciat Lonbarde Sample Pack
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

116 Oneshots
30 Drones
Crafted from the Unpredictable
This evolving sample pack is a curated collection of sounds generated entirely with the eccentric modular instruments of Ciat Lonbarde. Featuring raw sessions recorded with Peterlin and Plumbutter 2, it offers a unique sonic palette ranging from fractured noise textures to rich ambient drones and abstract one-shots.

The Handcrafted World of Ciat Lonbarde
Ciat Lonbarde is the creation of instrument builder and sound thinker Peter Blasser. His designs reject conventional synthesis in favor of circuits that behave like living organisms. These instruments respond with tactile irregularity and voltage-driven nuance. This collection is not a digital imitation. It is the real analog, shaped in real time by touch and signal.

For the Forward-Thinking Producer
Whether you’re working in experimental ambient, leftfield techno, cinematic sound design, or simply seeking sonic material that resists the algorithmic polish of modern production, these samples offer tactile character and genuine unpredictability. No two loops are alike. No modulation repeats.

What’s Inside
Atmospheric drones
Textural noise beds
One-shot percussive blips and pulses
Select loopable material with musical intent
Files designed to inspire both immediate use and deep sampling exploration
Free Lifetime Updates
Your purchase is not a one-time transaction. This pack is a growing archive. New recordings are added continuously at no extra cost. Previous buyers already have access to the latest updates. If you haven’t joined yet, now is a perfect time.

Listen or Use
Several pieces included were composed with musical intent. They can be sampled, reshaped, or simply listened to as drone compositions in their own right. Sound as music. Music as sound."

"Moog, Roland: YES, please, more of THIS.
Blablabla limitations, blablabla the future.
I – DON'T – CARE. This sounds so good, it reminds me of the amazing Matriarch, which has the gorgeous delay built in, and that characterful Moog sound. Boy, I miss that keyboard.
Anyway, this is why I fiddle with hardware synthesizers: living these moments of bliss when everything aligns, the chord strikes perfectly and the BBD provide you with that nostalgia of times and places you've never visited. Lovely.
I hope you'll get to experience the same, both here watching this video and in your sonic explorations!"

Pretty sure I'll record one more take of this one, cause it's far to be perfect and it's a lot of fun to play. I was 14 in 1977 when the Cerrone 'Supernature' video clip came on TV. We had never seen something like this on french TV back then and as a kid I was pretty much impressed.

Mini Analog Synth Jam | Vintage + Modern Gear | 19” Synth Wall

video upload by rezfilter

"Here’s an old clip I dug up — a little analog jam session from my 19" synth wall. All analog sequencers here (multiple Oberkorns) clocked internally for tight timing. Telemark covers the snares, 2600 on kick, Nyborgs shaping some chord-like structures and lead lines, and a Fusebox thrown in for extra color.

The setup blends rare vintage oddities with modern analog gear — sequencers, synths, eurorack, drums — for a raw, all-hardware performance.

Hope you enjoy this slice of the archive."

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"2 minutes, no warning! 🥳
In this video, I really wanted to make use of the 1.5 new features of the Ableton Move like sequencing the different tracks of the Move from another sequencer (Keystep Pro here) and its new Auto Filter effect 🤩 (I was really waiting for these 2 updates!).

So the track starts with DRUMS played and sequenced by the LXR-02, through the Oto Machines Boum stereo analog compressor.
I then introduce the Move by opening the new Auto Filter effect.
The Move is playing some secondary percussions (Track 1), the BASS (Track 2, sequenced by Track 2 of the Keystep Pro), the ARP (Track 3 of the Move, sequenced by Track 3 of the Keystep Pro) and the CHORDS (Track 4 of the Move, sequenced by Track 4 of the Keystep Pro).

So with this setup, I was able to transpose in real-time the instruments played by the Move 😃

"'AD-X' by PlantsSystem is a sonic work that weaves together analog pulse tones from the Prophet-5 and meticulously arranged noise through the tracker-based DAW Renoise. Eschewing a traditional beat, the piece constructs a weightless soundscape where pulsing electronics and finely textured noise engage in subtle dialogue. It's a quiet yet tense composition that rewards close listening, revealing delicate, experimental layers of sound.

The 8R8 sample pack by Goldbaby

video upload by GoldbabySamples

"The 8R8 sample pack. Available now: https://www.goldbaby.co.nz/8r8.html

Sounds from the 8raw8 recorded in the Goldbaby studio."



"Sounds from the 8Raw8, a lovely analog drum expander, handmade in France, that recreates the iconic analog drum voices of the legendary TR-808.

Why make another 808 pack? I have had three vintage TR-808s in my studio, along with a few analog and digital clones. I can honestly say that the 8Raw8 is the nicest-sounding of all of them, including the OG vintage ones.

Another reason I created this pack was to utilise the 8Raw8 kick drum tune modification. This pack has a massive selection of multi-sampled chromatic kicks you play across the keyboard. Congas and toms also get the chromatic treatment!

I didn't stop there. Not only did I capture the 8Raw8’s unprocessed sound, but I also recorded it through tasty hardware. I used the MPC60, Fat Bustard II valve mixer, Silver Bullet Mk2, SPL Transient Designer, EL Fatso, EZ1073 EQ and Pre (Neve), AnalogHeat+FX, various guitar pedals (Plasma, Chroma, FatRat, Prunes & Custard), Cassette Tape Echo, and more.

This pack is like an 808 on steroids!

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Generative Sequencer: Ableton Air https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

Forget the constraints of the piano roll. 'Air' generates notes autonomously, creating endless variations of melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. Your music becomes a living, breathing entity that evolves over time, making each moment unique.
Perfect for Experimental and Ambient Music
Whether you're crafting immersive ambient soundscapes, exploring experimental electronica, or composing intricate minimal music, "Air" provides the tools to elevate your creativity. Its generative approach ensures that no two performances are ever the same, offering a fresh perspective with every playback.
Features Designed for Limitless Inspiration
Evolving Sequences: Generate infinitely unique patterns that never repeat.
Customizable Settings: Fine-tune parameters to align with your artistic vision.
Seamless Integration: Designed for Ableton Live users who value creativity and experimentation.
Create Music That Breathes
'Air' is more than a plugin—it's a partner in creation, designed for musicians who embrace unpredictability and seek to push boundaries. Unleash the power of generative composition and let your music take flight."

TITAN Patch Bank: A Yamaha SY77/TG77 soundbank of 64 patches

video upload by MIDERA

"It has taken me years to publish this sound set. Mostly - I did not think it was that good, but I was asked repeatedly to release it. So that is what I am doing. I am quite horrible at showcasing bass sounds, of which I had quite a few here. I believe my original goal was to make either SH-101 or Minimoog type sounds and get that sweet sweet Lately Bass patch so I could sell my TX81z. I think I succeeded, at least a little bit there.

My playing was not rehearsed, as it already takes a lot of time to showcase each sound. This will, of course, be obvious when you listen, because it will not sound particularly good or refined. Plus, there are no external FX, which I personally like to use, but won't on a soundbank or patchbank video because I want to make sure you are hearing exactly what you will get when purchasing the patches.

These patches span the years from 2017 when I got the SY77, until today. I honestly can't believe I've had the thing that long. That's 8 years I've owned this. It's still one of my favorites.

If you'd like to purchase my soundset, please go to my webpage and shoot me an email: https://www.midera-artist.com/synthes..."

Bad Gear - Expensive and Noisy

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Although this channel is often associated with enervating noise , my work environment is so calm I can tune a vintage synth to my tinnitus and I stick to low mixing volumes to avoid ear fatigue.

However, a few days back I received this Audio Motor Synth MKII directly from Gamechanger as a long term loan and believe me - the peace and quiet is gone.

Analogue Solutions Ample 3-VCO Desktop Analog Synthesizer with Patch Pins

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

"The Analogue Solutions Ample is a powerhouse desktop synthesizer that combines the best elements from across the Analogue Solutions lineup—like a “greatest hits” of their iconic gear. It draws its sound engine from the Fusebox, features patch points from the Concussor Eurorack series, integrates the pin matrix from the Vostok, includes the analog echo from Dr. Strangelove, and borrows the sequencer and touch pads from the Generator—all while maintaining its own distinct sonic identity.

With three analog VCOs, dual LFOs, and dual envelope generators, Ample offers deep modulation possibilities. Its rich, analog 24dB/oct low-pass filter, ring modulator, sub-oscillator, and noise circuit provide a wide range of textures, from classic analog warmth to experimental tones.

The patch pin matrix enables modular-style routing without the clutter of cables, offering flexibility and exploration in a compact form factor. Whether used standalone or as part of a larger modular setup, Ample delivers hands-on, vintage-style synthesis with modern versatility."

EML ElectroComp 101 – Vintage Duophonic Semi-Modular Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing, also on eBay

"A rare and revered classic, the ElectroComp 101 was Electronic Music Laboratories’ evolution of the original ElectroComp 100—crafted by the Connecticut-based company known for its educational and experimental instruments. Released as a flexible alternative to the ARP 2600 and Minimoog, the EML-101 brought serious innovation to semi-modular design.

Unlike its contemporaries, the 101 featured four voltage-controlled oscillators—two of which operate sub-sonically for LFO duties—with morphable waveforms accessible via rotary selectors. It’s duophonic, allowing up to two-note polyphony, and provides a unique modulation architecture where control voltage and audio signals are treated interchangeably, offering highly creative patching possibilities.

A 12dB/oct multimode filter (low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass) with resonance adds tonal versatility, and the onboard ring/amplitude modulation, sample-and-hold (“Sampler”), and dual envelope generators give the 101 deep sound-shaping power. Thanks to its use of op-amps instead of temperature-sensitive transistors, the 101 also boasts impressive tuning stability compared to Moog or ARP synths of the era.

Designed with portability in mind, the unit folds neatly into its own wooden case, making it ideal for studio or stage use.

Originally marketed to universities and educational institutions, the EML-101’s modular flexibility, rich analog tone, and rock-solid build quickly caught the attention of professional musicians and sound designers, cementing its place as one of the most powerful portable synthesizers of the 1970s.

Features:

Polyphony: Duophonic

Oscillators: 4 VCOs (2 with sub-audio range; variable waveforms + noise)

Filter: Multimode 12dB/oct filter (low-pass, band-pass, high-pass) with resonance

Envelopes: 2 ADS generators

Effects: Ring/Amplitude Modulator, Sample-and-Hold

Modulation: Any CV or audio signal can be patched freely

Keyboard: 44-note

Control: CV/Gate compatible

A previously used item that shows signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended—a vintage gem ready to inspire."

Spectral Paintings | featuring XAOC Samarkanda

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I was planning to do a feature on the XAOC Samarkanda, but when I was checking my audio recording in Adobe Audition I noticed amazing images in the spectral analyzer. I decided to record the screen for a nice intro, but as I was playing the audio, the amazing images turned into a tour around the world. The recording was planned for the intro, with sparse sounds, simple tones and - obviously - delay. Simple tones create spectral lines and delays create layers. I've been using Plaits 2-OP FM, so these relatively complex sounds created all kind of Nth-order harmonics, which also end up as layers.
Anyway, this is a nice Samarkanda warm-up video, and a fun to watch 'waste of your precious time'. I had to post it, so I hope you like it.

Cheers,
Robert."

Clever Mutating Melodic Patterns with Patience // PROTEUS from Seaside Modular (Generative Eurorack)

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the fantastically musical, generative Eurorack pattern maker PROTEUS. It’s the first module from Seaside Modular and is an impressive melody maker with lots of controls to go from simple rhythmic riffs and hooks through to complex melodies. With unique parameters like sleep and patience Proteus offers lots of ways to make, store, recall and vary patterns. Proteus has been fun as a smart band mate (that doesn’t turn up late and hungover) and as the centrepiece and main element on a patch or in a more supporting role. Loads of patches, loads of music, ace!"



Check with dealers on the right for availability.

Priced at $325.00

"Proteus is an algorithmic sequencer with a short attention span.

Proteus creates a melody, then repeats that melody over and over again. Each time the melody is played, there’s some chance that Proteus will get bored and scrap the melody in favor of a brand new one. How fast it gets bored is up to you, and depends upon the PATIENCE parameter.

Proteus’s melodies aren’t simply random; they are generated by an algorithm designed to make sequences that are more humanlike and musical. You can save and recall melodies that you like using the Pattern Bank.

Play with Proteus to explore the balance between repetition and variation, to inspire you and accompany you in your own musical improvisations."

GENE GX

video upload by LA Priest

"GENE GX is an all analog, polyphonic synthesizer with a class A audio path.

Inspired by the earliest polysynths of the 1970s, it is multi-timbral and completely touch sensitive.

With 7 tuneable keys on each of its 3 touch sensitive keyboards (6 main keys plus one higher octave key on the right and also a silent filter envelope trigger key on the left), Gene GX can be tuned to a huge number of standard and microtonal scales using the two independent tuning, modulation and pitch bend sections, allowing you to articulate the pitch and timbre of each group as you play.

The unique all-analog oscillator design allows four different waveform harmonics to be controlled and modulated, creating shifting waveshapes and frequency ranges.

All of this is topped off with a lovely class A transistor ladder filter."
