T-420 LITE Analog Video Glitch FX Processor
video upload by LoFiFuture
Note this is not an audio synthesizer, but a video processor from supporting member LoFiFuture.
"Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...
The T-420 LITE features two linear faders that provide the primary control over the effects. There are also two potentiometers, one that controls the overall intensity or gain of the video signal and another that partially stabilizes the sync of the video signal.
There is also a second FX mode that can be activated using the slide switch or momentary button. The momentary button is especially useful when used in a live performance situation.
For I/O it features a USB C input for the power input and two standard RCA connectors are used for video in and out.
This unit works and looks its absolute best when plugged directly into a CRT TV but it also works well in bigger video rigs with video mixers/ TBCs etc.
Specifications:
-Composite video In/out
-NTSC/PAL Compatible
-USB C power input - USB cable is NOT included
-Weight: 101 Grams
-Dimensions 100mm x 85mm x 35mm"

The Kingdom of Ice | Contemplative downtempo ambient soundscape with DSI Poly Evolver and Virus TI
video upload by MIDERA
"Yesterday was my mom’s birthday. Today is Mother’s Day… crazy for me to think that she hasn’t been here for two of either of these. It is hard to be without her. I think about her often. I had planned to watch her favorite Indian movie last night… but I couldn’t bring myself to watch it (it’s not exactly my kind of movie), so instead my wife and I picked a movie we’d never seen. Fire and Ice. It was pretty bad. I had thought since I loved the Lord of the Rings by the same director, this would be as good, but I was mistaken. So, I didn’t really do anything to honor my mom, but I guess she’d have been just as happy knowing I was enjoying myself.
Poly Evolver for arpeggiated sounds.
Off camera, I used my Virus TI for pads.
Everything went through the Fractal Audio FM3"
KORG miniKORG 700Sm | Superbooth 2025
video upload by Thomann Synthesizers
"At Superbooth 2025, Korg unveiled the miniKORG 700Sm, a compact reissue of its first analog synthesizer, the miniKORG 700S. Staying true to the original’s warm analog character, the 700Sm adds modern enhancements, including dual oscillators, an updated Traveler filter without physical stops, and a joystick for expressive pitch and modulation control. New features include a built-in spring reverb, ring modulator settings, a multimode arpeggiator, and 14 patch memory slots. It also offers USB, MIDI, CV/Gate, and sync connectivity. Around 86% the size of the original with a 37-key slim keyboard and aftertouch, the 700Sm balances portability with classic sound, and comes bundled with a soft case and software package."

Sunday Jam #78 : Chilled Groove for MIDI Tracker on RC2014
video upload by MIDI IN
"Last week on the second channel I revealed a project that I've been working on for a long time, my tracker for RC2014, an 8-bit Z80-based computer. [videos below]
It should sound very similar. In that case I was using MT32 mode on the MT32-Pi, and I've made a few changes as I've transcribed it. RC2014: https://z80kits.com"
Project reveal : Tracker software for RC2014
video upload by MIDI IN
"this is a terminal-based MIDI Tracker for RC2014 (an 8-bit Z80 computer).
I like making music as well as programming, trackers are a traditional method of creating chiptunes and I want to make some more serious software to supply with my MIDI module.
As well as MIDI output, a MIDI keyboard can be used to input notes. You can copy and paste a note, or you can mark a range and copy and paste a block of notes to repeat a phrase, copy to a different track, or even a different pattern.

Chilled groove - Amiga + MT32-Pi
video upload by MIDI IN
"Something a bit different musically - I wanted to try to capture the chilled groove of a couple of Groove Armada songs.
I composed this in Logic, and then keyed it note-by-note into Octamed (took hours). Octamed is sending the notes as MIDI to my MT32-Pi (details about the setup at the end of the video). I'm really happy with the result. Some of the instruments sound very realistic but some not so good (sampled brass always sounds dodgy!)

Moog Messenger demo @ Superbooth
video upload by Hispasonic
Click CC for subtitles.
"The new Moog Messenger upholds the brand's tradition in architecture, sound, and… price. At 849 euros, it’s hardly the most affordable monophonic synth on the market, but it’s an appealing choice for those seeking a Moog. It blends original Moog tradition with some newer features for a variety of sounds.
In the Messenger, you’ll find options like bass compensation when increasing resonance, wavefolding, continuously variable waveforms in the oscillators, FM between oscillators and to the multimode filter, a sub-oscillator that stands out with its variable waveform (almost a third oscillator), looping envelopes… With presets, a sequencer, and an arpeggiator, but without effects or polyphony, it left us particularly impressed with its robust and intuitive bass sound creation and transformation.
Wisely, Moog only teased partial details of the new Messenger two days before Superbooth 2025 kicked off, drawing a big crowd to their booth. Eight units were available to try in Berlin, where we got to showcase it. What do you think?

MAGNOLIA, one of the HIGHLIGHTS of Superbooth
video upload by Hispasonic
Click CC for subtitles.
"We went inside the Frap Tools booth at the Berlin Superbooth to explore the Magnolia, a polyphonic synthesizer that has caught everyone's attention.
Magnolia stands out for its unique architecture, with two oscillators that break with convention: a through-zero oscillator that allows analog linear FM, evoking the classic timbres of Yamaha's FM synthesizers, but in a 100% analog format. It also features a more traditional oscillator with octave controls, variable waveform and a wave folder to add richness and timbral complexity. Want metallic sounds or subtractive textures? Magnolia dares to do both.
This synth also impresses with its polyphony and bithermality, allowing everything from dense sounds in dual mode to splits and morphing between presets. Each voice features two independent filters (low pass and high pass), extensive modulations with synchronizable LFOs, dedicated envelopes and an effects stage that includes analog distortion and digital slots for delays and modulations (still under development), as well as a built-in sequencer and expressive controls such as aftertouch, expression pedals and modulatable panning.
In this video you will hear sound demos that show the versatility of the Magnolia, from expansive stereo leads to vibrant textures with delayed vibrato. We also tell you details about its release, scheduled for late 2025 at an estimated price of 3995 €.

VAEMI Modular System Patching No:6 - OSI-OP,XFMR Ring Mod.,XFMR VCA & Expander,VoltRatio
video upload by Vaemi
"A unique system brought together with high-quality components and precise engineering. The VAEMI Analog Modular System is entirely handmade using through-hole components and includes many distinctive features of its own.
In this video, you’ll be able to watch and experience a patch I created using through zero frequency modulation — from start to finish, with minimal editing. By the end of the video, I end up creating two separate parallel FM paths. I create a kick and snare using Peaks, and sequence all these sounds with the Beatstep Pro. Then, we patch a synth bass using the VAEMI system.
Shortly after the bass becomes audible, I add a bit of stereo presence in the higher frequencies using the computer, activating a plug-in midway through the recording. Other than that, there is no additional processing.
With a transparent mastering approach, you’ll hear the entire recording session in its clearest and most natural form.
Enjoy listening and watching :)"

Doepfer 3D Joystick
video upload by Bata
"Quick janky explanation of the Doepfer 3D Joystick A-174-4 along with some examples of how I use it and a patch breakdown of the patch I'm using it with. I plan on doing a couple more joystick idea videos that are easier to follow. Too many modules being used to list them here so just watch my Full Modular Overview video which I will link below.
There is some annoying color switching at times on the video. I think it's caused the bright white case and moving the camera too much but I'm not sure. Sorry about that.
My engineer decided to do some stereo separation with the frequency shifter track on this one. This has the advantage of a wide phasey sound but the vocally audio rate sound from the frequency shifter is less impactful than it would be if it was stacked with the dry signal in the center. Probably best to listen through headphones for this one."
Full Modular Setup Overview
"Added a couple new things and switched stuff around so decided to do a quick video explaining the rig. Could have talked for an hour or 2 about this but kept it to 10 minutes because of my phone's time limit. Will add a modular grid link below."
