"Another creation from the land of TRS-80. Going in a more positive direction and a different touch. Getting a closer idea of what the TRS-Synth is going to sound like when it is finally created. I hope you enjoy this, as much as I do! Hoping it brings some positive vibes to your Friday."
Erica Synths ~ Steampipe controlled by MPE with Expressive E ~ Osmose
video upload by Ebotronix
"today the Steampipe landed here.
I tested it with the Expressive E Osmose.
With the latest Osmose Firmware it's possible to reduce the Osmose channels to 8 channels,
with 16 channels it doesn't work.
the solo playing works but with chords the Steampipe produces wrong notes.
another problem , the Osmose's pitchwheel data is not recognized.

Skyline 🕊️ (Elektron Digitone + Pioneer Rmx-500 // Sequential Take 5 + Strymon Deco 2)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"Just wanted to start 2025 with a very simple and smooth 2-Minute jam before moving on to more serious matters 😊
In this jam, the Elektron Digitone is sequencing a couple of patterns playing mainly BELLS and CHIMES (with probability etc.). I'm using the RMX-500 remix station to add reverb (DOWN REVERB) and tremolo (TRANS) effects on the Digitone's output.
The BASS and LEAD part is being played in real-time on the Take 5, which is running through the Strymon Deco 2 pedal which is adding more character and fluctuations to the sound.

New Keyboard Manufacturer Medeli Enters US Market
Press release follows:
Medeli makes musical moves to Medeli makes musical moves to enter US market, challenging competitors within arranger keyboard and digital piano segments
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA/HONG KONG, CHINA: Medeli — one of the world’s largest electronic musical instrument manufacturers, mostly known as a contract manufacturer for many well-known brands in the industry, as well as being the owner of music hardware brand Ashun Sound Machines (ASM), itself acknowledged as the creator of the critically-acclaimed Hydrasynth digital wave morphing synthesizer series — is proud to announce that it is entering the US market in a big way, perfectly positioned to challenge competitors within the arranger keyboard and digital piano segments, mainly, as of January 10…
It is fair to say that high-quality products at competitive pricing, a dedicated sales and support team, and the combined experience of industry veterans benefitting from serious stints at Arturia, Elektron, and Yamaha will constitute key driving forces to promptly propel the Medeli brand’s stateside success, with the following new models becoming available there throughout 2025.
SP-C121 (MAP: $399.99 USD) offers an acoustic piano feel and sound in a compact, portable design. Being built for serious beginners and intermediate players alike, it can be accessorized for home usage only, or remain in a travel-ready state, ready to make music anywhere.
SP201 PLUS (MAP: $549.99 USD) provides experienced pianists and casual performers alike with all the essentials included in a stylish and portable package.
CP203 (MAP: $779.99 USD) delivers a beautiful sound and modern look in a compact design, making it an ideal choice for pianists of all abilities who are concerned about saving space.
A Visit to Synthesizers.com
video upload by George B.
"I had the privilege to visit the folks at DotCom. I brought my camera just to get some video of the large 110 space modular in their showroom and I'm trying to learn this new camera. Mike suggested I video behind the scenes and encouraged me to post it so the public can have a peek. This is in no way an advertisement and I'm not compensated in any way other than to get to see my favorite synthesizer company making modules!
I have an 88 space system that I bought and love what they do."
Tobinski Sequencer - Complex Pattern Generation
video upload by Tobinski
"A quick example patch to show how the Tobinski Sequencer can be internally routed to create longer more complex patterns.
This is just an example of some of the flexibility of this sequencer. Much more complex patterns can be created using the direction inputs and summed CV outs etc. but hopefully this gives an idea of the kinds of techniques that can be used."

via Raw Analog Sound
"The bonkers module is a dual, versatile, fully analogue sound processor and signal generator. It features two channels, each with two drive stages. Drive1 offers six clipping modes, and Drive2 provides two, delivering a wide range of distortion flavors from subtle saturation to extreme fuzz.
This module generates aggressive, punchy, and wild variations of the original unprocessed sound, transforming any clean sound into a distorted monster.
It allows kick drums and bass lines to coexist effectively with envelope follower and sidechain. Shapes any sound with a 3-band EQ. Functions as a signal generator capable of self-oscillation at any frequency even without input. Adds sub-octave tones to melodies and bass lines. Preserves dynamic range and clarity through parallel processing. Adds character, flexibility and madness to any source.
One of the must things to do with bonkers is to connect the same (or 2 different) dry kick drum(s) or drum loop(s) to both channels. Process them with different settings, and use the crossfader to create balanced and smooth or raw and rough transitions between them.
*It designed for live performances.
**It can be used in stereo applications."

Bad Gear - The Y2K Bug
video upload by AudioPilz
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. While we - the inhabitants of this post-everything dystopia - live in the best times for being a synth nerd, our ancestors and younger selves who just survived the Y2K Bug had to deal with a much bleaker market for electronic musical instruments .
Today we are going to talk about the SH-32. This unholy offspring of a JP-8000 and an MC-303, 2002 not-a- synth not-yet-a groovebox and Buchla Easel for kids design abomination is not only peak Roland Music but also seems to be the blueprint for the Roland SH-4D .

Supercritical RedShift 6 // Analog Weight with Multiple Personalities
video upload by Starsky Carr
"The Redshift 6 is based on the Supercritical Demon Core Oscillator and Neutron Flux Filter eurorack modules.. both of which offer a huge amount of flexibility for analog oscillators and filters. Supercritical have been able to do this through designing a system where they can control the character of the filters and oscillators under digital control.
Which is why this is called a variable character synthesizer. It has 5 distinct characters, from smooth and gooey to nasty and dirty howling resonance.
Although the final firmware has not yet been 100% implemented - I thought it would be interesting to demo the overall principles and how it all works."
