Ambient with Pelle Mode Nord Lead & OP-1 field : Fluvial Terrace 2025-10-19 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field — an ambient track built from distorted tones generated in the Nord Lead’s Pelle mode and lo-fi synth pads.

The Nord Lead, when set to Pelle mode, produces an unusually aggressive tone. Its output passes through the ‪@strymon‬ NightSky for reverb and filtering.

On the OP-1 field, a 16-bar synth loop was recorded and played back at a slower tape speed, layering additional sounds during performance. The output is processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ Lossy to achieve a lo-fi texture.

================
How to Enable Pelle Mode on the Nord Lead 1

1.Set Program A to 19 and Program B to 65.
2.Hold down SYSTEM, then press SHIFT.
3.While keeping both buttons held, press SET, then press PERF. MODE.
(Keep SYSTEM and SHIFT held the entire time.)

If you hear a clicking sound, Pelle Mode has been successfully activated.
If the program number displays 75, the attempt failed — this happens when CLEAR is pressed instead of SET."

X1L3 - THE WRETCHED - circuit bent drum machine - eurorack module - final rev test

video upload by X1L3

"Testing the first complete unit of the first build run.
Placed in my rig as my personal unit to replace the solder bridged and wires around the back mess that i used for fault finding and tweaking that's lived in my rig for over a year.

No frills demo cycle - just the machine lazily cruising along doing a good impression of a circuit bent Yamaha DD drum machine without using the resonant filter and ruiner sections that were a part of my old circuit bending works. Using those things are where you can really go dark and mess things up, but you don't necessarily need them to do the whole 90s drum rompler bent thing.

You could probably do a lot worse than use this as your go to circuit bent drum machine, but to use it as your main driver in a track is i think a matter of taste. If you don't mind your drums sounding like they're done on an Amiga tracker, which i don't, then it works. If fidelity is your thing i'd probably pair it up with something a bit more hifi to pin down the 8 bit cronch.

Anyone familiar with a circuit bent and midi retrofitted Yamaha DD will know how close this thing is at recreating the sound of one. Except it does what they do better, with more control, more finesse, and without the annoying toy footprint of one of those machines. A circuit bent Yamaha DD14 was used heavily in the creation of what this module has become.

I'd go head to head with a flag ship bent TR505/707 with this thing and feel pretty confident in coming out the other side on top. It takes all that is good about a bent drum machine and leaves behind the compromise that's often inherent to them.

Will be released when the Alleykat SID module is complete. Alleykat, the AY/YM chip module and this will all come out at the same time. I'm taking time out to have a break and chill before i put these new machines out there."

Tre Modular - Replicant RM Demo

video upload by Tre Modular

"Replicant RM is a ring modulator based on the legendary Yamaha CS80. At its core is the same analog architecture that gave the CS-80 its character. We’ve built it around the MC1496 IC, a modern alternative to the original uA796 used in CS80.

Just like the original, Replicant RM includes its own dedicated VCO. It offers both sine and square waveforms. Sine delivers a clean, pure tone that defined the CS80’s ring mod sound. Square adds grit and harmonic complexity. The oscillator features two speed modes and a dedicated output.

We’ve also included a built-in Attack/Decay envelope generator, another key part of the CS-80’s ring mod section. It can be gated or looped, and has two speed modes for shaping everything from bell-like tones to rhythmic pulses. The envelope also features two speed modes and a dedicated output.

If you want That sound that`s part of what made CS80 legendary, now you can have it.

Soul Of the Machine: A Celebration of the Life & Legacy of ARP founder Alan R. Pearlman

via the Alan R Pearlman Foundation

Available on Bandcamp here

Press release follows:

Kingston, NY— In 2025, the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation celebrates the centennial of its namesake, the electronic visionary whose marvelous ARP synthesizers changed the landscape of music forever. As part of the ongoing celebrations, the Foundation is announcing the release of Soul Of The Machine, a 36-track musical celebration of the man and his creations as interpreted by a diverse range of recording artists.

Soul Of The Machine is a 36-track collection of tracks old and new, covering everything from innovative electronic, dance, and space music to jazz, funk, and Latin pop, all featuring the signature sounds of classic ARP instruments. The collection includes everything from ARP’s first synthesizer — the massively powerful ARP 2500 modular system — to the instruments that rewrote the rules on how electronics and music came together. The 2600, Odyssey, Pro Soloist, Omni, and many more ARP instruments sing, cry, scream, and soar, in the hands of musical talents both legends and newcomers.

Soul Of The Machine is a treasure trove of musical exploration. Martin Gore’s “KIno" combines Depeche Mode’s signature rhythmic power with a uniquely lyrical and sweet atmosphere. “Mr. No” is a celebration of the classic proto-techno sound of John Foxx. Award-winning soundtrack composer Mark Isham showcases his signature pulsating energy and evocative moodscapes in the mini-suite “Musings – in Two Parts”. Lisa Bella Donna takes listeners on a journey into timeless wonder in the epic “Conclusions.” JG Thirlwell’s “Sphere” is a synth freakout ricocheting between ominous sci-fi atmospheres and searing beats. Panic Girl offers "Drifting Whispers," a somber and uplifting neo-retro journey into a past that never was.

Other artists on the collection include Michael Brückner, Phil Cirocco, Rupert Greenall, LaMar "Kronick" Mitchell, Jeff Rona, Drew Schlesinger & David Torn, Don Slepian, and many others, as well as tracks by the collection's curators Steve Roach and Chris Meyer of Alias Zone.

Famed ambient / electronic pioneer and ARP user since 1978, Steve Roach shares his thoughts on Soul Of The Machine: "In 2024 I had the honor of meeting Dina Pearlman-Ifil — the director of the Alan R Pearlman Foundation — in person. Over the course of several phone conversations we discussed ways to celebrate the centennial year of her father's life and his place in history. My idea for a compilation of music using her father’s creations grew out of those conversations, presenting a perfect way to directly experience the vast range of music that was birthed by the family of ARP synthesizers. This compilation is just a small taste of the universe Alan inspired in sound explorers and artists across a vast range of genres."

Steve mapped out the music so that CD 1 represents a sonic journey and CD 2 provides a showcase of the depth and breadth of what ARP synths can do. After both CDs were finalized, there were more tracks than room on the CDs. These additional songs are available as a bonus digital supplement to the physical CD set.

Says Dina Pearlman-Ifil: “I have long-dreamed of a multi-genre collection that would illustrate the depth and breadth of the possibilities of my father's instruments. This collection is the embodiment of what my father treasured most: The creative spirit. As the old ARP tagline used to say: ‘The most creative part of an ARP Synthesizer is you.’”

The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation is dedicated to the empowerment of young and burgeoning artists into the future. When we look at classical instruments born hundreds of years ago, we see that Alan Pearlman's synthesizers stand tall, earning their place in the evolution of musical history. Acoustic or electric, their common ground is the enduring inspiration for creativity and sonic innovation that inspires the hearts and minds of musicians, performers, and sound explorers worldwide.

Soul Of The Machine will be available for streaming on October 17, 2025. The special limited edition CD will be available for purchase in early-to-mid-November.

Proceeds go the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation

The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
Our mission is to celebrate the legacy of inventor, musician, entrepreneur and engineer Alan R. Pearlman, by making his innovative inventions publicly accessible, and by inspiring future generations to imagine and create.

Brussels School Diaries, Day 6 : "Draco" | original electronic music jam

video upload by No Lake

"'The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you'. (Neil deGrasse Tyson)

As far as I'm concerned, 2025 will have been marked by the rise of a musical movement that defines me, that suits me. A movement that I arbitrarily named Brussels School, in a very unmodest homage to the Berlin School movement.

For me, electronic music must above all be a piece that takes you on a journey, a piece with a soul that tells a story, not a technical sound demo or some random AI soup...

So, let me remind you how I define this movement. And again, I'm not claiming it's new or exceptional; it's simply the style of electronic music I like to produce and listen to. The album in early 2026 will simply be the conclusion of all my work in 2025.

'Brussels School' can be defined in this way: "haunting and captivating electronic music. A fusion between trance music and electro-ambient. Hypnotic vibrations that transport you. A paradoxically warm and cold magnetism, a refined sound that lulls the listener into a long, minimalist, repetitive and yet captivating and trippy rhythm"

Ambient session with Field Recording in Tokyo and Moog One : Road of umber 2025-10-17 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and field recordings from the streets of Tokyo — an ambient electronica work where simple, steady performances unfold amid the city’s diverse sounds.

The Moog One performs the harmony, while the Nord Lead plays the melody, processed with deep reverb using the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

The field recordings were captured with an iPhone, then edited in a DAW and processed with reverb, bit reduction, and delay effects."

"Solina String Synthesizer (s/n 0136882) 1 of only 100 made, a combination of the their String Ensemble, and ARP's Explorer 1 monosynth. Good physical condition - check photos - but not fully operational. The strings work except there are issues with some G’s and F#’s (probably divider chips). The Synth section VCO is working but the filter has problems, which seems to be a faulty cutoff slider. The LFO is not working. So basically, the solo synth section is not working. 220V version (UK plug)."

Similis - self sequenced

video upload by DecadeBridge

"Similis is a lo-fi synth that has several different patches. Here it is set to run a random sequence over a major or minor scale. This preset can be switched between 1 or 2 oscillators, each playing a random note independent of each other.

Pot A/CV in A sets the root note.
Pot B/CV in B sets the range of notes of the chosen scale.
Pot C/CV in C sets the rate of the sequencer (controlled using an envelope generator in this example)
Switch A sets the waveform (Sine, Saw or Square)
Switch B has 3 different settings (Stop the sequencer playback on its current note, run the sequencer, run the sequencer and add an additional synth voice.)
Switch C sets the scale."

Similis - Detune

video upload by DecadeBridge

"Similis is a lo-fi/chiptune style synth consisting of several different presets.
This Similis patch stacks 3 oscillators and detunes them against each other.

Pot A/CV in A controls the root note.

Pot B/CV in B controls the detune of the other 2 oscillators.
Pot C/CV in C controls the level of the 2 additional oscillators.
The root note pitch is being controlled by a random scale from Pam's Pro Workout.
Here an envelope generator is controlling the level of the detuned oscillators through CV in C.
Switches A B and C change each oscillators waveform (sine, saw, square)"

video upload by El Magico

"In this video, I’m going through some of the sounds from my new patch bank Neon Dusk for the Sequential Fourm. Reverb comes from Kinotone Ribbons.

It’s a collection of 50 custom patches — leads, pads, polys, brass, keys, and a few SFX — all inspired by classic analog tones and modern synthwave textures.

Each patch is designed to make use of polyphonic aftertouch and modulation, so there’s plenty of expression and movement when you play.

Hans Zimmer Next Level Giorgio III Monumental 5U Modular System

Hans Zimmer 2025 - Batman Dark Knight - Opening - Cologne / Köln - Next Level Live

video upload by C3|Nik

Pics and details below. First the video description:

"Some thoughts regarding the "Hans Zimmer - The Next Level" concert:

Amazing! Amazing! AMAZING!

I went to all shows of Hans Zimmer, some I've seen even multiple times. The sound quality of "Next Level" blew them all out of the water. It was louder, it was more intense, really top notch sound engineering. That part at 5:50 in the video was extremely intense, I have never experienced that kind of bass before. I sat close to the front, there was a line of subwoofers right in front of me, I would not be surprised if that part causes some anxiety for people, that's how intense it was.

Some pieces were re-arranged which was an interesting touch, it added a nice new dimension to it.

I can recommend it. It is expensive but a one-of-a-kind experience in my opinion."

Update: SynTesla video below added.

GIORGIO III, Hans Zimmer's monumental synthesiser manufactured by SynTesla

video upload by SynTesla

"SynTesla is the manufacturer of the gigantic GIORGIO III modular synthesiser commissioned by Hans Zimmer for his world tour 'Hans Zimmer Live The Next Level'. Discover the unboxing and assembly of this fabulous instrument."



This one is in via John L Rice.

via pidjyman on Mod Wiggler:

"The Giorgio III is a monumental 5U Modular synthesiser created by SynTesla (Pierre-Jean Tardiveau, aka pidjyman on MW) for composer Hans Zimmer for his world tour.

This synthesizer is undoubtedly the largest modular synth in the world, consisting of 12 cabinets measuring 5 x 5U + 1 x 3U in height. Only 10 cabinets are installed on stage, with two others serving as back-up behind the scenes.

This monster represents 10 months of hard work in total. 23 types of modules were designed and produced in large numbers. To give you an example, the synth is composed of 3 separate units of 4 voices each, for a total of 12 voices, with 2 VCOs, 2 DCOS, 2 filters, 6 DADSRs, 6 VCAs, 1 resonator, 4 LFOs, buffered multis, logic, attenuators, attenuverter, mixers, wavefolders, gate delays, summing mixers, etc. etc...

The modules were manufactured in France by Syntesla and designed by Yusynth and SynTesla. They were assembled in Los Angeles at Hans Zimmer's studios and then shipped to Germany for final assembly on the tour stage.

When the synth arrived in Oberhausen, Hans Zimmer had never seen it before (he was rehearsing in London while it was being assembled in LA), and I can promise you that his smile in the photo is not fake (neither is mine).

The electrical part of the cabinets was also designed and built by SynTesla. It includes an oversized power supply with a capacity of 10 amps, an active filter that provides perfectly stable and clean voltage, and a power distribution board in SynTesla and DotCom format, as well as an integrated voltmeter and ammeter. The whole system has several levels of safety.

This made it possible to connect each cabinet to a solid-state relay socket controlled by DMX from the lighting console. The robustness of the device allows the whole or part of the system to be switched on and off in sequence, depending on the pieces being played on stage."

Minimal Electronic w/ Prophet-10, Moog One, : Arcadia 2025-10-16 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88 — a work of minimal music built from overlapping sequenced phrases that gradually evolve in tone and texture.

All synthesizers are played via MIDI sequences from Ableton Live.

On the Prophet-10, the filter cutoff and resonance are manually adjusted, with the output processed through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky for reverb.

The Moog One’s EG Amount and waveform Mix parameters are manipulated during playback.

The Nord Lead is processed through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for rich reverb.

At the end of the piece, a deep reverb is added across the entire mix using ‪@ValhallaDSP‬ Valhalla Shimmer in the DAW."

Teenage Engineering OP–XY 1.1.0 - sample slicer update

video upload by teenage engineering

with OS 1.1.0, your OP–XY becomes an even more powerful sampler. this update introduces a new sample slicer, perfect for chopping breaks, melodic sequences, or vocals. it offers three slicing modes for flexible, precise control over how you cut and play back your sounds.

transient-based slicing:
OP–XY automatically detects peaks and hits in your sample and slices them—ideal for drums, percussion, or anything with sharp attacks.

time-based slicing:
divides your sample into equal sections, great for loops, rhythmic material, or when you want perfectly even slices across the entire recording.

manual tap:
tap your own slice points to create custom rhythms and break your sample exactly where you want it.

to go along with the slicer, we also added parameter lockability to the drum sampler.

duck:
with the new update there’s a new lfo, duck. use duck to quickly add sidechain compression to any instrument track. it takes audio or note data from one track and modulates the volume of another. use it to create space for your kicks in your bass or to add movement to pads.

this update also brings several quality-of-life improvements for sequencing and performing. you can now define how OP–XY calculates scene length for more precise playback control. song mode has been refined to work consistently with the rest of the device, simply hold shift before pressing buttons. this allows you to continue using the musical keyboard even when in the song mode screen.

using sound link, you can now use the same sound across all patterns of a track, useful for live sets or when you want to skip presets per pattern. and finally, a much-requested feature: delayed scene switch. when performing live, queue up the next scene instead of immediately switching scenes.

Multimode Tube Filter, Saturator & Beyond! // VAMP from Apollo View Modular

video upload by DivKid

"With Vamp Apollo View modular took the early Korg MS-20 and MS-10 filter designs, which favoured non-linear character over stability and control, they added more character with a tube input saturation stage and tube resonance feedback path, further output clipping stage options and then designed in modern stability and control. I joke in the video the filter is so rubbery it might as well be wearing a gimp mask. Vamp is also multimode with low pass, band pass and high pass modes with routable pre/post VCA and gain option, smart normalled CV options and prevision circuitry to turn it into a full single module tube voice, killer kick drum and more.

VAMP
8HP Multi-Mode LP/BP/HP Sallen-Key Filter with Tube Saturation & Distortion

VAMP is a multi-mode analogue filter that gives you low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass responses in a compact 8HP design. At its heart lies a classic Sallen-Key topology supercharged with real vacuum tube (12AU7) saturation and multiple stages of clipping, letting you move seamlessly from smooth, hi-fi filtering to snarling, overdriven character.

One half of the tube is used to saturate the input, while the other half provide MS-20-inspired resonance limiting (tube, not diodes). With FLOW placing the VCA pre-tube or post-filter, and FANGS selecting Off / Soft / Hard output clipping, VAMP ranges from subtle warmth to ferocious harmonic destruction.
FEATURES
Three filter modes: low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass
Classic Sallen-Key topology with tube saturation and clipping
12AU7 vacuum tube: one half for input drive, one half for resonance distortion
MS-20-style resonance limiting/clipping for aggressive tones
FLOW switch: Integrated VCA pre-tube or post-filter
FANGS: output clipping: off / soft clipping / hard clipping
1V/Oct cutoff tracking: use VAMP as a VCO in self-oscillation
Extensive CV control: GAIN, FREAK (cutoff), REZ (resonance) (all with attenuverters)
Self-oscillation for screaming tones
