MIDI Goblin 1.5 and Polyphonic Synth Announcement
video upload by MIDI GOBLIN
"Hi everyone. In this video...I announce MIDI Goblin 1.5!
It's MIDI Goblin - but with audio output and a polyphonic synthesizer firmware I've been working on for the past few months called Pingler.
Owners of the original MIDI Goblin will be pleased to hear that they can upgrade their Goblin to 1.5 at home!
pre-sales for MIDI Goblin 1.5 will begin April 30th 2025 and a VERY limited number of them will be available if our neighbors to the south go through with their tariff 'plans'

Maximus 4V Polyphonic Analogue Synthesizer | Live Multi-Part Synth Jam
video upload by Analogue Solutions
"Here's a live, one-take recording using the Maximus 4V polyphonic analogue synthesizer from Analogue Solutions (@rezfilter )
All synth parts are coming straight from the Maximus 4V — no external synths, no edits, no overdubs.
Percussion sounds are handled by a 2600 bass drum and vintage Concussor drum modules, original designs from Analogue Solutions.
This high-tempo synthpop/electro track is built entirely from hardware and captured live in the moment. Maximus 4V is an inspiration!"

Sequential Prophet 10 REV4 versus Prophet VS Vector Synth: A not-so-detailed comparison and thoughts
video upload by MIDERA
"I had both of these side by side and figured it was now or never - do a brief comparison of the two head to head. What's interesting is listening to the Prophet VS filter afterwards it didn't sound so 'TB-303' like as it did when I recorded it. It sounded more tame. It was a bit depressing, but I guess that's part of what is important to hear - differences between what's recorded and what's heard live.
A few notes: if you listen on a phone, you really won’t hear ANY differences mention, lol. I don’t hear the aliasing on the PVS.
You can initialize the PVS patch as well holding enter and pressing zero. I didn’t do that here because it puts all 4 oscillators on using different waveforms, which isn’t really initialized for my purposes.
Also - I want to comment about something that annoys me. If I ever want to look up anything on the "Prophet VS" it comes up as thinking it means 'versus' so I hardly find any information about the VS.
What do you think about the two (P10 v PVS)?

High energy modular synth performance by Stephen McCaul
video upload by Noise Engineering
"Here's a high energy modular synth performance by Chief Noisemaker Stephen McCaul.
The bottom case is a six voice case with Incus Iteritas Alia (2), Debel Iteritas Alia, Tymp Legio, Manis Iteritas Alia, Virt Iter Legio + Ampla Legio.
There is a Librae Legio for the percussion submix (paralleling the main mix) and an Electus Versio on a send. The rhythm sequencing is from an experimental prototype that isn't really product worthy.
Pitch sequencing comes from Opp Ned. And the Xer Mixa mixer ties it all together.
The top case is an effects rig for another project but i used a Fala Versio and a Yester Versio in that case for some additional effects."

"The one and only. The “last great polysynth” of the 80s. Truly a beast that was way ahead of its time. Incredible versatility and flexibility for a 40 year old synth. The programming can be daunting, but once you get the hang of it it’s a breeze. The thing sounds truly amazing."

Fonitronik PS3100 / a triple bandpass vactrol resonator for eurorack / just a few experiments
video upload by BRiES
"I had the pleasure of being able to borrow this module from a friendly patcher and DIY builder. Let's explore a little bit of how it sounds together. I want to try sending some field recordings of trains and other vehicles through this module next, I'm sure that would sound really cool (maybe that's something for another video). What would you send through this?

Minimoog & Ableton SOLFA – A Generative MIDI Sequencer for Minimal and Experimental Music
video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto
"SOLFA – A Generative MIDI Sequencer for Minimal and Experimental Music
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
Inspired by Arvo Pärt, Designed for Creative Exploration
SOLFA is a generative MIDI sequencer for Ableton Max for Live, built for electronic music producers, experimental composers, ambient sound designers, and those interested in algorithmic composition. Inspired by the works of Arvo Pärt, this tool allows you to create evolving, hypnotic patterns that seamlessly blend tonal minimalism with rhythmic complexity.
Minimal Pitch, Infinite Possibilities
At the core of SOLFA is a simple seven-note sequence. These notes are randomized across octaves, generating organic melodic shifts. This structured yet fluid approach results in endlessly varying musical textures that maintain a coherent harmonic identity.
Independent Rhythmic Structures
SOLFA employs isorhythmic principles, where the pitch sequence operates independently from the rhythm pattern. This allows for intricate, evolving interactions between melody and rhythm, giving rise to unexpected yet deeply musical results.
Ideal for Generative and Experimental Music
Whether you're composing ambient soundscapes, intricate polyrhythmic pieces, or avant-garde electronic music, SOLFA provides a unique method for crafting evolving compositions with minimal input. By embracing randomness within defined constraints, it encourages exploration while maintaining musical cohesion.
Unlock New Creative Dimensions
Transform simple ideas into dynamic, evolving sequences with SOLFA. Experiment with chance, structure, and unpredictability to discover new musical possibilities. Now available for Max for Live."
“Skyward Jams” a compilation of ambient shorts w/ Elektron Analog Four MKI & MKII
video upload by goth jocks
"Compilation of Elektron Analog Four jams over the past few months. I’d call it psychedelic ambient, but maybe you’d call it something different?
I went from the MKI to the MKII in that timeframe. So while this may not be a direct comparison, it could still be useful to someone deciding between the two (news flash! they sound very similar)
Each song was recorded in one take with no overdubs, no Overbridge, and no external effects. Just pure A4!"
Welcome to the Future

"Original Composition created with an Arturia Microfreak synthesizer and a MPC2500 for the drum track. Eurorack modules providing some visual background.
From my album named Overtone which is available on Bandcamp,

Thanks for checking this out."
Lite2Sound HD Stereo photodiode field recording - Eugene, OR
video upload by EA78751
"The location is Skinner Butte in Eugene, Oregon, and this video is demonstration of an experimental field recording device called Lite2Sound HD Stereo 62mm. The waveforms in the audio soundtrack are being emitted by the lights in the scene. Lite2Sound uses photodiodes as sensors to convert fluctuations in light intensity directly to audio. The device I used for this video has sensors 200 times larger than our basic model, Lite2Sound PX. That gives it much greater sensitivity, so its possible to hear many lights blending together, even from miles away.
Every city sounds different..? A serious videographer could do awesome things with this. I have built four Lite2Sound HD Stereo devices, and they are available, please inquire. I can be contacted through rarewaves.net.
I noticed in this video there is an invisible infrared light somewhere in downtown Eugene that emits strong pulses at 1-second intervals. It sounds like a ticking clock, but since you can't see any corresponding blinking in the video, it must be infrared. I assume it is providing flash illumination for some sort of slow-frame night surveillance camera. These are more common in urban areas now, who's watching who?
Thanks for watching!
Eric Archer"
