Oberheim OB Xa - the monster for deep, fat, dark analog tones
video upload by Sergio Man
"The Oberheim OB-Xa is an absolute monster for deep, fat, dark analog tones—perfect for haunting drones, growling basslines, and eerie pads. Here’s why it stands out:
Why the OB-Xa is Perfect for Dark, Fat Sounds:
🔥 Oscillators – Two massive CEM3340 oscillators per voice, capable of thick detuning, deep PWM, and sinister saw waves.
🔥 Filters – The Curtis low-pass filter (12dB or 24dB) gives it a dark, creamy, and moody resonance. When pushed, it can create growling basses and sinister sweeps.
🔥 Unison Mode – Stacking all voices together creates earth-shaking, monstrous basses.
🔥 LFO Modulation – Slow, deep LFO modulation can bring ominous movement to pads and leads.
🔥 Vintage Drift – Since it's full analog, slight imperfections give it that organic, alive feeling—like a demon breathing in your mix.
Dark Sound Design Ideas:
🔊 Evil Bass – Low-pass filter, resonance at 40%, slight detune, Unison mode.
🌫️ Cinematic Drone – Slow LFO to filter, subtle PWM, a bit of white noise.
🔔 Haunting Bell Pads – High resonance, slow attack, some reverb and delay.
⚡ Aggressive Leads – 24dB filter, medium resonance, quick envelope decay for punch.
Similar Dark & Fat Synths
OB-X8 (2022) – Modern reissue, true to the original OB series.
Sequential Prophet-5/6 – More aggressive and raw, but in a similar analog spirit.
Moog One – Thicker and darker but with a more modern feel."

New Kaleidoscope Mini Desktop Synth Incoming
video uploads by Vadjuse
This one was spotted and sent in via Meska.
Playlist:
1. Teaser. Kaleidoscope mimics a blip blop machine.
2. Teaser 2. Kaleidoscope mimics a boom-tysch machine.
Some raw drums exploration.3. Kaleidoscope. Reload Zone. Post-Apocalyptic Ambient.
In this video I experiment with the generative sequencer of the Kaleidoscope.4. Kaleidoscope. Hypnotic Resonance
The pattern is relatively simple:
1. VCA1 (which means it belongs to track 1) works in a cyclic mode, i.e. it restarts itself.
2. With its end it starts VCA2 (which means it belongs to track 2).
3. VCA2 modulates the period of VCA1, and VCA1 modulates the period of VCA2 (fm synthesis at the rhythm level). Because of this, the length of the pattern wanders a little and creates a pleasant dynamic.
4. Modulation envelope 1 (MODENV1) also works in a cyclic mode and restarts itself, but with a completely different period than the VCA1. This creates an additional rhythmic layer in the overall sound.
5. MODENV1 modulates the wavefolder level of track 2.
6. Track 1 modulates the frequency of track 2, and track 2 modulates the frequency of track 1.
7. All this is seasoned with a comb-filter in delay mode, which creates another rhythmic layer.
The presets for track 1 and track 2 used in this video can be downloaded and loaded into your Kaleidoscope. After the release of the synthesizer, I will publish these and other patches so that you can play with them and modify them yourself.
On the home stretch, Kaleidoscope will be released soon.
On the video new PCB version with
typeC plug
4 channel DAC
improved encoder filtering section
In this video I experiment with a relatively simple patch.
The cyclic modulator changes the symmetry of the triangle wave. From a symmetrical triangle to a saw. This changes the spectrum.
As a result, the filter resonance periodically amplifies individual harmonics. The filter frequency is modulated by the volume envelope.
Since the filter frequencies can be precisely tuned to the MIDI note frequencies, the modulation results in all the natural harmonics of only one octave being cycled through. This makes it seem like there is some kind of sequence in the patch, although in fact there is none - it's just a native process.
At high resonance values, the signal is overloaded in the filter feedback circuit.
The signal is also additionally overloaded in the overdrive block.
All this gets into the comb filter, which works as an echo.
I've been glued to this patch for about a day, which makes me a little sick of it, but I still like it.

"Rare Kawai R-1A Rhythmer Vintage Analog Drum Machine from the 1970s.
The unit powers on and plays the programmed rhythms, however, Snare and/or Hi-Hat sounds don't really seem correct and have small output compared to other instruments. There is a slight constant hum noise in the background too. The Tempo Lamp is also not lighting up.
Otherwise everything appears to be working but because of the issues mentioned, I'm selling this AS IS to be used with some servicing/adjustment."

"Wait what? Did you TLDR? No worries- here is a mix. Get ready to turn it up and shake it to the latest creation from this throwback Microcomputer. Once again the BOSS DS-1 shares the limelight by adding a subsonic crunch to the S2 MIDI Drums, mixed with a matched low sine and you have this awesome groove. NO Ai used in the creation of this film, some computers WERE harmed lol. Crank it, shake it, enjoy."
HERMOD 2.00 - NEW FEATURES
video upload by Squarp instruments
CHAPTERS
0:03 Manual editing for each layout
1:21 Step-analyzer and new MOD 2, 3 and 4
2:38 Programming internal FX modulation
3:29 Changelog
"In this video, we explore the two main changes introduced in the latest 2.00 update of Hermod+ OS :
👉 Internal Modulation – Each track now includes four independent MOD lanes that can be step-sequenced, recorded or generated and routed through the mod matrix. This makes FX automation very powerful and easy to program.
✌️Advanced Data Editing & Randomization – Users can now display, edit, and randomize any type of track data including MOD, Aftertouch, Velocity, and more. Simply hold the STEP button while in STEP mode to access and customize the specific parameter you want to modify.
🖖 Refined Workflow & Enhanced Flexibility – The update also includes performance improvements, UI refinements, and additional features designed to enhance creative flow and make sequencing more intuitive.
👊 Added CV IN Detection – (when Hermod+ is recording, the CV IN modulation will be recorded only if a change is detected, in order to save memory space).

700fm voice patch share# 3 sets 6voices
video upload by Gm Xe
"Share 3 different sets about 700 Voice
1. **Stereo Setup with Percussion Sounds**: Set up dual-channel outputs for A and B, routed to the LPG. Use a 5-step global sequencer to trigger the envelopes, with oscillators 2 and 4 utilizing LFOs to modulate the pitch. This setup will create dynamic, evolving tonal changes for a richer sound experience.
2. **Bass Line Control with 250e**: Use the 250e to control the bass line pitch with oscillator 2 operating in green mode to correspond with oscillator 1. This creates an 8th-octave phaser effect. The B channel is mixed into channel A, while global pitch control is applied for additional flexibility in sound design.
3. **Fifth Interval Oscillator Setup**: Set up two separate A and B channels, each with oscillators tuned to a perfect fifth interval. The output from the fifth interval is routed to channel B and processed through a delay. Envelope control is used to create a legato effect during playback, and a small amount of external reverb is added for depth.
