Wave (Oberheim TEO-5 + Dirtywave M8 Tracker)
video upload by The Way Up
"This super lush track means many things to me, but one thing it definitely isn't not is a soundtrack to an imaginary scene at the end of an 80s movie about a grizzled, tired cop (Tom), who after years chasing his nemesis, the charming criminal, Dan. After fate brings them together as unwitting partners and against all odds, friends, they manage to defeat a cartel who would threaten the entire city. After narrowly prevailing, our heroes end on a beach. As they breath sighs of relief and feel the warm sun on their skin, a realization dawns on them—their natural partnership is at an end. Dan smiles at Tom, and though just 48 hours earlier, Tom would have gladly cuffed him, and they exchange a knowing look of respect and slowly walk away, knowing they'll never see each other again.
Most of the synth parts on this were the TEO-5, with a few parts from the M8's internal engines, plus some nice classic drum machine samples."

Analogue Solutions Maximus 4V | Playing and Live Sequencing w/ Drum Machine
video upload by Analogue Solutions
"In this video, we're showcasing the Maximus 4V in action—live sequencing, sound design, and onboard processing all handled within a single analogue powerhouse. Four independent sequencers are running simultaneously on the Maximus 4V, each controlling different parts of the patch. The Maximus is also supplying the master clock to the Arturia DrumBrute, keeping everything in tight sync.
Four synth voices are brought in and out of the mix in real time using the built-in stereo mixer, allowing for hands-on performance and fluid arrangement. To shape the sound further, onboard effects are introduced via the dedicated effects section, with modulation and space controlled through the right-side fader bank.
All sound sources and sequencing are generated by the Maximus 4V and DrumBrute—no external MIDI, DAW, or backing tracks. Just pure, live analogue control."

Reviving Classics with MultiMod | MakeNoise NUSS | Episode 03
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"MultiMod arrived two months ago, my Jumbler is pre-ordered and PoliMaths is expected end of summer or later. It's a great time to be a MakeNoise fan. However, my collection of old, classic and discontinued modules is growing way too fast. I always say that a new module should be able to revive your old modules. If not, doublecheck if you really need it.
In this video, I hooked up MultiMod with 0-Coast, Strega and DPO.
I also used my beloved Tetsuo Noise Box and run a true analog 'pling' through a Cacophon (MultiMod and Mimeophon) to find out how that would sound. Very cool."

Misadventures | A DSI Prophet 12 and Fractal Audio FM3 ambient soundscape
video upload by MIDERA
"Yesterday my wife lost her job. I guess it surprised neither of us, although that didn't make it any less painful. Going through our list of things we need to cancel and stop, like daycare for our three year old. On the week of our wedding anniversary too, it just added that extra little sting.
She's always come back with something better, but I guess you sit and wonder whether this time there will be something, with all the job cuts in what feels like every sector, so many will be doing the same thing, in a time when the competitiveness was already overwhelming. I guess for now we just wait and hope. Wait and hope.

Testing patch, from DivKid, from Rob Hordijks FAKE Reverb with Ring Modulation.
video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO
"@DivKid 's releasing a very interesting video (as usual).
from an idea of Rob Hordijks.
I let you seeing all the explanations here:[below]
So, why not testing it by myself ?
At first, I'll using my Random*Source / SERGE modules.
And stupidly, I was forgetting that my DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR has all functions to test the idea ! So I'm testing the idea with it.
And after that, I'm digressing around the stereo possibilities of my module and the MS (mid/side) option.
Ok, I didn't have a lot of time (busy after SuperBooth...) so it's a bit "from scratch"... Hope you will enjoy it :)"
How to FAKE Reverb with Ring Modulation // Rob Hordijks ‘Poor Mans Delays’ [BETTER BLEEPS]
video upload by DivKid
"So here's a bit of story and the first BETTER BLEEPS video in a long time!
With Chris from Moog sharing Rob Hordijk's trick to emulate reverb wth Ring Modulation in the recent Superbooth video, that of course sparked questions. So strap in with a brew for a time travel trip back to 2017 where Rob Hordijk gave a tutorial with his "poor mans delay" technique and stay tuned for going through the technique and method with us in the video. Grab the free PDF and VCV Rack patch for further material on the technique. Links below.
This is applicable to many modules and bits of gear, to that point after the main demo with Manic (DivKid & Apollo View) I go through it with 4 more modules (Instruo VinCA, cLFO from AtoV, Ouija from Nekyia and A*B+C by Befaco)."

"This is a unique opportunity to take an extremely rare piece of gear: the Crumar Synthaphone!
I made a DEMO video to show it, check it below. [posted here]
FULLY SERVICED by pro tecnician
Collector’s Item: this is serial N. 20!! (only 100 units were produced)
- with Breath Controller
- original Case
Fully Analog Monophonic Portable Monster, with CEM filters
this info on page 77 of Peter Forrest's trusty 'A-Z of ANALOGUE SYNTHS, PART 1' - Synthaphone: 37-note (F-F) monosynth with breath control. 1982-84. 'The little wind synth with the big sound!’
8 presets: Tuba, Horn, Trombone, Trumpet, Sax, Clarinet, Oboe, Flute (the lower-pitched ones definitely have more power, as is common with early preset synths). The Portamento controls are On/Off, Auto (i.e. legato-only or always), Rate. Volume knob, Pitch knob (tunable over about 1.5 octaves!), Touch Sensitivity (for the Touch Vibrato, a fine feature allowing you to rhythmically push down on any key for natural vibrato) and Breath Sensitivity. The last refers to the little breath controller (with small mouthpiece attached to one of two narrow rubber tubes about 18' long) which you can attach to one end of the keyboard."

EMS VCS 3 Putney The Cloney Project SN 018

"This is an assembled EMS VCS 3 clone from the DIY Cloney Project :
This unit is number #018
The 3 PCB cards were recently serviced and retuned by Matt, the funder of the Cloney Project.
It sounds perfectly, exactly as intended.
Cosmetically i's in great condition, some scratches on the right panel and a visible nick in the wood on the front side below the pandl.
I've been moving away from synths for a while and sadly I need to part with it. I bought it a few years ago considering this would probably be my only chance to ever own and plan a VCS3. Turned out it actually was :) and now it's ready for a new home.
Hours of fun. This machine has a soul. It's unique."

5/20/25 Metasonix RK10 & RK7 & RK2 & RK6 + DeltaLab Effectron II + Alesis MIDIVERB II
video upload by Cfpp0
"5/20/25 Metasonix RK10 & RK7 & RK2 & RK6 + MFB AHDSR + Doepfer 183-2 + ALM Pamela’s anew Workout + DeltaLab Effectron II + Alesis MIDIVERB II
The Metasonix RK10 sequencer CV output is modulating the Metasonix RK7 Thyratron VCO and the Metasonix RK6 filter, with no audio input, but with resonance at the threshold of self-oscillation. Both the RK7 and the RK6 run through the Animodule MixMan into the Metasonix RK2 VCA (horsecock). One of the RK2 outputs runs through a 2hp Trim into the DeltaLab Effectron II into the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, panned a bit left, with reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II. The other RK2 output runs through a 2hp Trim to the Mackie, with the same reverb. The RK10 is clocked by ALM Pamela’s New Workout, boosted by the Doepfer 183-2. Pamela’s is also driving the MFB dual AHDSR, which is controlling the RK2."

Listen at the last 20 seconds of the video where I open the Alpha pwm pot (the beta vco triangle is internally connected as the PW modulator of alpha vco) and the opening of the filter cutoff for producing this fat warm analog pwm bass !
The goa style melody lead comes from admvco saw through the Scota Vcf !
All drums are from different sources mostly analog and I mix them through the RF audio cv mixer using the transistor output."
