Arpoloop - A Totally Fun and Unique Analog Rhythm Box

video upload by NOISEBUG

"Arpoloop is a full analog synthesizer with a built-in full analog rhythm and melody composer. Since there is no microprocessor nor digital memory it can not be programmed in the usual way instead it can be set and guided to play a line whose parameters are user definable with virtually infinite combinations."

PlantsSystem-CircuitKoto

video upload by plantssystem

"'CircuitKoto' from PlantsSystem.
The delicate and clear tone of the instrument is simulated using the analog synthesizer Prophet-5. The unique resonance of the koto, such as the attack and decay of the sound and slight pitch fluctuations, is expressed using electronic sounds.
We hope you will experience the sound that lies at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, acoustic and analog. #prophet5 #polyseq #koto"

6/10/25 ThinkGeek Bliptronic 5000 + Metasonix Penile Amputator + CRS Tube Reverb + MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"6/10/25 ThinkGeek Bliptronic 5000 + Metasonix Penile Amputator + CRS Tube Reverb + Alesis MIDIVERB II

Someone was selling some ThinkGeek Bliptronic 5000 sequencer / synthesizers so we picked one up just to check it out. It sounds like a toy, but the interface is fun. It’s polyphonic, but this was just a first simple test. You can chain them together apparently. It sounded a little better through the Metasonix Penile Amputator into the CRS Tube Reverb for mono spring reverb and then a wash of reverb from the MIDIVERB II."

Akai VX600 Synthesizer Demo [no talking]

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2025

This is a six voice analog Akai VX600 synthesizer. Two oscillators per voice, and it takes minimum 30 minutes to stabilize tuning enough to play. Even so, it also wants 3 or 4 auto-tune sessions. Basses, pads, leads, arpeggios. Please enjoy. While this demo features my original patches, alas - there's no way to backup patches to computer or share them w/ others in that way. It only accepts Roland style Memory Cards. Be sure to check out my patches for other synths available at https://gstormelectro.gumroad.com/

Recorded direct via EPM6 mixer to GO-Mixer Pro-X interface to iPhone, no added effects.
The synth output is very hot, so any clipping you hear was overloading the input at the mixer."

Crossing the threshold: New Systems Instruments’ “discrete map”

video upload by Electrum Modular

"New Systems Instruments sent me their new module, Discrete Map. It’s a deep module, with lots of potential uses, so I’ll be dedicating the next few videos to it. This first, introductory video uses it as a generative sequencer, extracting an evolving melody from a Lorenz chaos trajectory."

"Novum! New Systems Instruments has created a unique and innovative approach to generating sequences with Discrete Map.

New Systems Instruments consistently surprises with innovative designs! Discrete Map fits right in, taking a simple concept and turning it on its head. At its core, it’s an 8-step sequencer that can output a traditional step-by-step sequence. The pitch values are set using the eight upper faders, but what makes it truly special are the eight lower faders, which determine which step is played at any given moment.

The sequencer’s X input accepts any signal, a clock, an LFO, or even another sequence. The lower faders set threshold values, and the switches below them define whether they react to a rising or falling edge. This means the sequence jumps to different steps based on the incoming signal, creating a highly controllable form of randomness! The results are striking! Complex rhythms and surprising melodies that become even more dynamic when paired with the expander for voltage-controlled step selection.

Discrete Map also includes an onboard oscillator. A switch toggles between a slow and fast frequency range. When slow, it functions as a standard step sequencer. Another switch changes from Position mode (explained above) to Length mode, where the lower faders control step duration. When switched to the fast mode tho, it becomes a graphic oscillator that tracks V/Oct.

To round out the package, Discrete Map includes additional utilities for better integration with other modules. The precision adder for example allows an external voltage to transpose the entire sequence.

The A/B/C Expander further enhances functionality, adding three assignable groups for the steps. Each group gains CV-controllable threshold values and dedicated gate outputs for active steps. And because that´s not enough there's also a sequential switch. Several discrete maps and A/B/C expanders can be linked together!

Overall, an incredibly well-thought-out and entirely fresh approach to sequence generation!

Features:

8-step sequencer for a single track
Generates sequences based on any input signal
8 lower faders to position steps in time
8 upper faders to set step values
One-shot mode
Oscillator mode with V/Oct tracking
Adjustable output voltage range (-5V to 5V / 0V to 5V / 0V to 2.5V)
Precision adder for transposing sequences
Gate output
Ramp output for internal clock signal"

And an overview from DivKid:

Bend & Twist Time with Voltage Addressed Sequencing // Discrete Map from New Systems Instruments
video upload by DivKid

"Here’s the new Discrete Map and expander from New Systems Instruments. Deeply routed in influence from the Buchla MARF & a Serge Modular style approach to sequencing, coupled with a heady mix of physics and electronics (as New Systems Instruments do so well) the Discrete Map allows you to use voltages to bend and manipulate a time map across 8 stages of voltages. From basic to more advanced sequencing, unique time and rhythm creation to some bonkers graphic VCO applications there’s a lot we get into in the video."

Intellijel Tête + Tetrapad + Multigrain Patches

video upload by Intellijel

"In this video, we combine Multigrain with Tête & Tetrapad to explore their combined potential. Tête & Tetrapad in combo mode gives us a variety of options for how to use the touch surface, while Multigrain's assignable modulation makes it easy to allocate parameters to modulation. Tête's looper also plays a part in some of the patches we developed here, leading to some interesting cyclic modulation."

"This FR-15 has a built-in button sequencer.

In addition to the 10 basic rhythms, up to 2 of the 5 sounds (BassDrum, SnareDrum, Cymbal, Claves, and Conga) can be played together using the 8-step button sequencer.

As the name 'RHYTHM PRODUCER' suggests, this is a point of difference from ordinary rhythm boxes.

The sound is different from Roland and Korg, and has a charming analog rhythm sound.

Made in Japan, this is a rare piece of equipment that is hard to find.

The following maintenance has been done.

Replaced a defective electrolytic capacitor in the tempo circuit.

Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer [SN 381594]

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"It was released between 1981 and 1984 as the successor to the TR-808, and its unique textured sound can still be heard today in sound sources by a wide variety of artists.

Today's rhythm machines, synths, modules, and software sound generators also feature the 909 sound, making it an indispensable essence for production.

It is the classic sound of machine drums. It is truly a masterpiece of a rhythm machine.

Compared to the TR-808, which uses a full analog sound source, the 909 uses a PCM sound source with 6-bit sampling for the cymbal system.

This hybrid approach is inherited from the TR-808 in terms of the thick kick and toms produced by the analog circuitry, while digital sampling is used for the cymbals.

The unique "that" hardware sound by low-bit sampling. This distinctive sound and the TR-REC sequencer helped solidify its position. House and techno are genres spawned by the 909's sound, and might not have existed without it."
