Rhodes Mark II & Prophet-10 | Seasons Fall Apart 2025-03-28 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10 and Rhodes. Deep harmonies resonate with echoing electric piano tones.

On the Prophet-10, I perform harmonies with a noise-infused timbre.

On the Rhodes, I play single-note lines with delay applied via ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE, and towards the end, the sound fades out with intensified modulation."

Novation Summit + Peak // Recreating Classic Vintage Patches


video upload by Starsky Carr

"Classics Vintage Patches from The Novation SUMMIT and PEAK Just a bit of fun... not meant to be identical, but I attempted to recreate some of my favourite patches on my Juno 60, Minimoog, Prophet 5, DW-8000 and OB-X8 - and it was going so well I ended up creating a soundbank.

These were selected to give a nice wide range of tones - single, dual and triple, VCO, DCO and digital oscillators

It can't do everything, obviously, but it gets really close on loads of tones - I was not expecting them to be identical but it can get close to the characters.

For this I created a few wavetables for the Summit/Peak from the DW-8000 waves and also the stacked waves from the Prophet 5. You can select multiple waves on the Prophet, but you can't on the Novation's so it was simple enough to create a wavetable to give all options.. saw+sq, saw+sq+triangles etc.

The Synth Sounds of Gary Numan: "Cars," "Are 'Friends" Electric?" & More


video upload by Reverb

"'The Synth Sounds Of…' is back! In this triumphant return, William Kurk walks us through classic synth tracks that have shaped generations, and shows you how to make those same sounds today.

This time, we're diving into the robotic beauty of Gary Numan's The Pleasure Principle—specifically the massive 1979 hit "Cars," as well as "Are 'Friends' Electric?," 'M.E.,' and 'Metal'—a few deeper cuts from the same era. See more on Reverb: https://shorturl.at/Btp7P

Bluelantern Mu Format Phrogs Analog VCF Poly Patch. Low Pass adventure.


video upload by flavio mireles

"Poly patch on a fully blue lantern modules Mu format system. I use (4) Phrogs filters, (4) VCO's, and a Yarns midi to cv. The fx are done using external behringer racks, connected to the soon to be released 4 channel Mu Mixer. Phrogs analog filter has an on board simple decay envelope generator, and a vca. You can easily make a poly patch. External modules used for control: BLM Active Multiple, BLM Joy rider Euro Format Joystick, and BLM MegaClite Digital LFO.

Low Pass filter output is demonstrated.

Each voice was panned left or right. This is done on the up coming Mu format 4 channel stereo mixer. One the lower (bass) voice, I added a Mu Format ADSR. Gate was daisy chained through the ADSR and into the Phrog's trigger input. In the video it has a large green square led."

Mu Format Phrogs Analog VCF 4 Voice Poly Patch. High Pass saga.

video upload by flavio mireles

"High Pass output is demonstrated. Filter output mixing: band pass, high Pass, low pass is also used.
Each voice was panned left or right. This is done on the up coming Mu format 4 channel stereo mixer."

Update:

Mu Format VCO demo

video upload by flavio mireles

"I use (2) VCO's to demonstrate CV's and the two sync's. An Mu Format ADSR was used for the sync. It has the square green led. The output was patched through the Mu Format 4 channel mixer. There are AC capacitors on the Mixer, this gives some slew to the wave forms. You can see the slew on the scope.You can't hear this distortion by ear to the waveform. Just about all audio gear has AC coupling, no big deal."

3/27/25 Roland/RYK/Lana System 100m + Peavey 1310 + CXM 1978


video upload by Cfpp0

"The RYK Modular 185 sequences both Lana 212 VCOs, which are set to different ranges and ring modulated by the Roland 150, which runs through the Roland 121 filter, which gets CV from the RYK 185 and an LFO from the Roland 172. The 121 filter runs through the 172 phase shifter into the Roland 130 VCA. The Lana 212 sub oscillator runs through the left side of the 121 into the 130 VCA, which is controlled by the Roland 140 envelope, driven by the 185. The 130 high output runs to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, with reverb blended on the Chase Bliss CXM 1978. The 130 low output runs through the Peavey 1310 delay, fully wet, to the Mackie, with CXM 1978."

Virus vs Viper: Can Viper sound like the Virus?
video upload by adamszabomusic



"Viper aims to deliver the sound characteristics of legendary hardware synthesizers in a virtual format. It comes with multitude of features like: multiple Oscillator types, Sync, Frequency Modulation, Ring Modulation, Unison up to 8 voices, Filter Saturation, Filter Routings, Modulation Matrix, high quality Effects, a powerful Arpeggiator, and much more!

A lot of time and research has been invested to make Viper capable of delivering a wide array of sounds, everything from lush pads, huge basses, and powerful leads, typically found in analog synthesizers. This was achieved with careful coding, experimenting, analyzing hardware synths, and using the ear to fine tune its parameters.

The audio engine is written in optimized code to use as little CPU consumption as possible, while maintaining a high quality sound engine, finding a good balance between the two. Viper also has a smoothing algorithm for its controls to remove the ‘steppyness’ associated with digital synthesizers.

Viper is available as a 32 and 64-bit VST 2.4 and VST 3 instrument for Windows."

Nekyia Circuits MUZZLE / quick playthrough / active LPG & FILTER / no talking / sounds awesome


video upload by BRiES

"This is a really nice sounding little module. It's a LPG with resonance control, ping input and CV input. It reacts dynamically to incoming pings. The resonance can add a nice distortion to the sound. In this video I just run a few VCOs through it, but you can use MUZZLE standalone as a source for percussion, lasersweeps or bongo kicks."
