Soundtoys Space Blender – their new imaginary space machine plugin!


video upload by mutech.media.australia

"It’s not convolution, it’s not an emulation – it’s like a delay matrix with chorus and a granulator…but not that either. From stuttering to vastness, it’s great for sound design, soundtracks, and gaming soundtracks. So interesting, it’s almost an instrument."

DIY Eurorack SH-2 vs Actual Roland SH-2: comparison and patch explorations (no talking)

'By the time I was done with it, I was so involved, I didn't know what to think.'

This long video of explorations feels like a non-verbal documentary that concludes the journey, and is the culmination of my SH-2 Eurorack quest. If you've been following along, you already know that I caved in and bought the real deal. As far as Eurorack goes, my overall impression is that it's pretty doable given what I have, but if you want authenticity, then a more accurate filter clone is needed. Mind you, the G-Storm SH-2 VCF doesn't claim to be a clone, but rather an adaptation. However, since it's missing 25% of the top end, I can't really get close at all on some of these patch explorations. If you want aggressive basses that can be pushed into saturation with more grit than the original, then the G-Storm filter will do that for you without hesitation. The Erica Synths Black VCO2 does a great job of covering the SH-2's VCO1 duties, and the System-500's 540 envelopes can get pretty close, though they can be a bit fiddly and require toggling between the slow and fast modes.

To summarize: This SH-2 will be going with me to my grave. I already know it's THAT good. The only "monosynth" that could ever top it for me is the System-700, which is simply not obtainable, unless there's a raffle, and I win said raffle, which never happens."

Rhodes Mark 2 Prophet-10 Ambient Ø MOOD MK II | Your Dream 2025-03-07 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the Rhodes MK2, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@SONICWARE‬ LIVEN Ambient Ø. Minimal Rhodes tones are layered with electronic sounds from a synthesizer.

The Rhodes MK2 is processed through a send/return using the ‪@BOSSinfoglobal‬ CE-5 for chorus, and a slight delay is applied at the final output via ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE.

On the Prophet-10, I perform monophonic pad sounds, with the output processed by Strymon blueSky to add deep reverb.

Ambient Ø is played manually while adjusting the parameters on the‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII."

Bad Gear - Sequential Pro 4


video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. There are countless reasons to get a synth created by the one and only Dave Smith: the gravitas of early Prophets, the mind-boggling sound design potential of the Evolver or the intuitive UI concept of vector synthesis in general - just to name a few.

However, he also made the Tetr4 .

ASM Hydrasynth - "Berlin Legacy" (40 Presets)


video upload by LFOstore

"'Berlin Legacy; – truly first of its kind soundset for ASM Hydrasynth!
We are thrilled to introduce 'Berlin Legacy' – a groundbreaking soundset for the ASM Hydrasynth, bringing the modern view of the iconic Berlin School sound to the Hydrasynth, blending futuristic and retro vibes into 40 exclusive presets! The Berlin School sound has always been about emotion, movement, and exploration. With the Hydrasynth’s unparalleled modulation capabilities, we’ve pushed these presets to new heights, offering you a soundset that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
'Berlin School' is carefully crafted by Otto K. Schwarz, the well-known sound designer with over 12 years of experience, having worked officially with Access Music, Modal Instruments, Native Instruments, and others. His goal is to create sounds that inspire and push boundaries. And in this soundset you will find multi-layered sequences, pads, plucks and leads, that pulse, evolve, and transport you to another dimension. All the presets are modulation wheel-assinged, as well as up to 8 modulation knobs.
The soundset is the first of its kind: the only soundset to bring complex Berlin School-inspired step sequences to the Hydrasynth. Made with passion for fans of classical electonic music (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Jean-Michel Jarre). This soundset is a love letter to the Berlin School – but with a modern twist. If you’ve ever dreamed of creating music that feels both nostalgic and futuristic, this is for you!

Specifications

♫ 40 exclusive presets are available: multi-layered sequences and arpeggios, pads, leads and plucks.

LD3 Vothar8 Bass on Zaturn

See the seller's other listing for more.

"This is the rarest first version of the amazing sounding Crumar Multiman.

The main difference beetween this first version and the second version Multiman S is the possibility to use SUSTAIN on Piano/Clavi sounds (which is not possibile on the second version... Strangely)

For that reason, being a keyboard player, i consider this first version more appealing to play then the Multiman S.

Sonically are identical.

It comes with its original Crumar Pedal

FULLY SERVICED by pro tecnician

Very good aestetics conditions for its age (tiny little marks and scretches around and on some keys)"

SOME LOFI JAM | DIGITAKT - VOLCA FM


video upload by uh!

"In this jam, I only used the Digitakt and the Volca FM. I couldn't sync them properly, so I adjusted the timing later in the DAW.

Other than that, it's pretty simple. I start with a chopped sample and then add the drums. All the instruments, except for the chords, come from the Digitakt—the bass, lead, and pluck.

It was my first time trying to play everything live without any pre-recorded parts, and it was quite an experience. I have a lot to improve, especially keeping in time, but oh well, let's see how it goes!"

"PCBs aren’t just for circuits—they can be art. In this video, I’ll break down the materials that make up a PCB—solder mask, copper, FR-4, and silkscreen—and how you can use them creatively for synth faceplates, keychains, and more.

I’m also launching a residency program and workshops for designers, illustrators, and artists who want to explore PCB design as a creative medium. Sign up for the newsletter to get updates:

So good you need more than one - Mixswitch by Klavis


video upload by Stazma

"Today we are checking out not one... but FOUR Mixwitch by Klavis Modular.
This module is to my taste one of the best utility modules ever designed as it can do from simple mixiing, to more complex invertion / offset and even go to sequencer / switch behaviour.
Wich is why I wanted to demonstrate it using more than one, having a few can help you to perform quite complex tasks. It's RAM but for modular synth ;-)"

Gliss Patch Notes: Slider and Touch


video upload by Bela Platform

"Patch Notes is a new series of instructional videos designed to help you get the most out of Gliss and provide a source of ideas for fuelling your own experiments and discoveries. Together we will explore possibilities opened by placing Gliss in the midst of a larger patch rather than directly to its final destination, by mixing signals to combine touch control with traditional modulation sources and connecting to unlikely destinations.

In this fifth installment, we check out Gliss Firmware v2 and some of the new range of possibilities for performance and control in your Eurorack system it opens up. See: https://blog.bela.io/gliss-patch-notes-5"

small changes: pianola


video upload by Expert Sleepers

"We're delighted to announce 'pianola' by small changes.

small changes is the alter ego of Electrum Modular.

Their thoughtful and beautifully presented videos on modular synth composition have delighted us for some time, and their frequent use of the Expert Sleepers disting EX module made them an obvious choice for an Expert Sleepers label release.

'pianola' focusses specifically on Electrum Modular's interest in the work of minimalist composers, some well known and some less so.

Available in physical form as a limited edition cassette.

Each track on the album has its own video explaining the patch and compositional process in detail:
