"Really enjoy getting to know this synthesizer sometimes I spend time making new patches and that other times I just wanna play and this was one of those times I took one of the patches that they have given us really wonderful presets and I just got lost and I felt like it was Good sleep music cause I was actually falling asleep trying to edit it cause it’s just allowing me to sleep so I hope it does the same for you.

Ample Synthesizer Sequenced by 64-Step Analog Sequencer (AS500-SEQ)


video upload by rezfilter

"Here’s a quick, dawless jam using the Ample Synthesizer and the AS500-SEQ 64-step sequencer. It’s a 3-oscillator patch where two of the oscillators are getting their pitch modulated separately by the sequencer, giving it a nice moving feel. You’ll hear some GLIDE on one of the oscillators at the start — making the notes slide around a bit — and later I dial it back for a tighter sound."

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

Update:

Ample Synth - Dark Industrial Patch with Filter Overdrive | Analogue Solutions

video upload by rezfilter

"Dark industrial patch on the Ample Synth from Analogue Solutions. The bassline steps in an uneven pattern while the cutoff is moved by hand. Pitch shifts come in through the touch pads, patched into the matrix. A second oscillator gets added to the filter, and later the envelope generators tighten up the shape. Nothing polished — just a heavy, gritty sound built straight from the hardware."

Analogue Solutions Ample Synthesizer | Selected Patches

video upload by rezfilter

"Here’s a selection of patches created entirely on the Analogue Solutions Ample synthesizer — no external effects, no added distortion. Just pure Ample.

Ample combines the best elements from several AS products:

-The rich sound engine of Fusebox
-The jack patch points of Concussor Eurorack
-The patch pin matrix of Vostok
-The built-in echo from Dr Strangelove
-The sequencer and CV touch pads from Generator

While it draws from these classics, Ample has a character all its own.

It can be as simple or as deep as you want it to be.

Ample is packed with a wide and diverse range of controls, giving even the most experienced synthesists endless possibilities through both knobs and patch sockets.

At the same time, its familiar layout makes it easy for newcomers to jump in and start creating powerful, musical sounds — especially when paired with this manual and other resources."

New Mathematical Series Wavetables in KRC Mathwaves!


video upload by Keith Crosley

"Let's take a look at a few (well, 1,111) new mathematical series-inspired wavetables in KRC Mathwaves, the world's largest collection of wavetables, single-cycle waveforms, and even some samples for all sorts of modern synthesizers. It's like reading the freaking manual, but more fun, because it's all talky synthesizer content."

"Amazing reissue of a rare classic. I bought it a few months ago, somewhat on impulse, and it hasn't found its way into my setup. It is in immaculate, like-new condition without a single blemish and everything works as new. I'm very particular about my gear and always handle it carefully and take good care of it. The unit has always been stored, covered when not in use, in a smoke/pet free climate controlled studio.

This thing is built like a tank (very solid and heavy), has great connectivity options and, most importantly, sounds incredible!"

Roland MC-500 MicroComposer w/ Extras

via this Reverb listing

"The Original Roland MC500 MicroComposer is a professional-grade digital sequencer made by Roland. With five channels and MIDI I/O ports, this sequencer allows for precise control of various musical instruments and gear. Perfect for creating intricate music compositions, the Roland MC500 is a reliable and versatile tool for musicians and producers looking to enhance their creative process.

Personally, This machine has been the perfect hardware sequencer for my solo gigs and even backup for a duo. It's reliable and simple. It takes no time to set up. I've invested many hours of drum and bass programming into the many songs included on the diskettes (see the list of songs). All original documentation is included. Even though it only has 5 tracks (1 rhythm and 4 music) it easily manages your midi-controlled devices such as stage lights, Patch changes on your guitar's effects pedal, and of course your sound modules. Included is the Roland Rhythm Library, a source of many complex drum patterns of all genres you can employ into your sequences."

"Quick demo of this pretty rare Japanese drum machine."
video upload by Senti mental

"Demo of the Hillwood Super Variation, a Drum Machine fro around 1977-79. Made by a Japanese company who apparently was a supplier for Roland until they decided to start their own product line in the market. Not much info around. The cool feature of the Super Variation is the metal bar on top, that allows you to switch the machine on and off. Has also quite slow rhythm speed. Other than slight EQ-boosting on the low end frequencies, no processing. Best listened to on good headphones or decent stereo equipment. Filmed on Fuji-XE2 with 4/9cm Leitz Elmar lens."

This is only the second post to feature a Hillwood HR-2.

The build itself was quite a ride, but the guys from Steda Electronics were very helpful!"

This is a quick runthrough - it only arrived yesterday so I'm just trying to give a flavour of what it sounds like and how it works.

Pre-empting questions about MIDI control... the knobs don't send or receive MIDI and no there's no patch saving :)"

Bad Gear - SERUM for OLD PEOPLE


video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. In times like these when normal people try to steer clear of questionable spending habits, true synth nerds are still stockpiling esoteric Eurorack modules, vintage restoration projects and overpriced VST plugins in a box.

Speaking of which, today we are going to talk about the Waldorf Iridium range. While young producers with an actual history of releasing music are currently benchmarking a Serum 2 torrent, these futurist top shelf instruments based on German technology seem to be the last missing piece in every middle-aged synthesist collection before their careers are destined to take off.

Liminal Patch 008 : Ambient Eurorack Modular Exploration


video upload by Botched Creative

"Creaturae Imaginis is a slow-burning descent into tone, texture, and atmosphere—12 minutes of ambient analog synthesis, layered with subtle generative elements. Recorded live to multitrack, each voice was captured in isolation, allowing for extensive post-processing and detailed mixing. The result is a piece that blurs the line between raw performance and sculpted sound design—a meditation on presence, process, and the strange beauty of voltage in motion.

MFX Pedal: Akemie Poly Voice Presets


video upload by ALM TV

"The MFX Pedal now includes a new FM-based Akemie’s Poly voice engine as part of the latest Firmware (v116) which also includes an updated mix control curve to be closer to equal power for all engines. Here we demo the built in presets for the new polyphonic synth engine.

The ‘Akemie Poly Voice’ is a polyphonic 2 operator FM voice inspired by our ‘Akemie’ FM modules and plugins. Controls let you define the wave, FM depth, ratio, and feedback, with independent decay envelopes for FM and amplitude as well as an end of chain low pass filter. The 4 voice synth engine is MIDI controlled with the same freely assignable CC and expression control just like the other FX engines.

Updating is easy, connect your MFX Pedal to computer via USB and copy the firmware file across, see manual for full details. Download via https://busycircuits.com/mfx-pedal"
