"Shadows of Saturn is a dual oscillator module with a paraphonic twist. Each oscillator can operate independently or together using a single CV source. This allows for intuitive interval tuning, perfect fifths, octaves, subtle detuning, and more, unlocking rich melodic textures and sound design possibilities.
Each channel offers four selectable waveforms (triangle, saw, sine, and square), navigated via a dedicated scroll button. It is housed in a compact 10HP format ideal for space-conscious Eurorack systems.
Whether you need a reliable pair of oscillators or are venturing into paraphonic synthesis with individual outputs, Shadows of Saturn brings flexibility, depth, and character to any modular setup.
Designed and assembled in Seattle, Washington. Includes a one-year limited warranty if registered within 30 days of delivery.
Features:
Four waveforms per oscillator: triangle, saw, sine, square
Independent or paraphonic operation with dual outputs
Bipolar signal operation
Frequency range: 20Hz – 20kHz
1V / octave tracking"
"Huge thanks to @hansotto8563 for this suggestion. Thanks again to all subscribers for their support. I’ve always loved this track and it remains a favourite to this day.
First released in 1995 this song was originally composed by DJ Robert Miles (real name Roberto Concina) as a ‘wind-down’ track for the end of his DJ sets. Credited as starting the genre of ‘dream house’ it was conceived as a way of reducing the death toll for clubbers returning from Italian clubs and falling asleep at the wheel.
The whole track was programmed and played on just the two machines’ pictured, a Novation Circuit Tracks and Circuit Rhythm. No additional synth or effects were used and the track was recorded straight from the output of the Rhythm (which mixed in the audio input from the Tracks).
I hope you enjoy the end result and check back soon for more tunes.
More details for synth nerds;
I’ve been thinking for a while as to how to cover this. Very much of the 90’s, it used sampled instruments and this made it harder to keep this an all-Circuit track. So much of the track relies on the impact of the piano and guitar samples I needed to reproduce these convincingly. I used my Circuit Rhythm purely as an expander in this case and all the sequences are played from the Circuit Tracks.
The Circuit Rhythm is running purely as a MIDI slave device for channels 3 and 4 only. I plan to detail how to do this in another video – mainly because the title ‘Make Rhythm Your Slave’ popped into my head and seemed too good to waste!
The original piano sound was apparently played on a Kurzweil K2000 and I managed to find a sample of the same sound. The Rhythm is monophonic and the sample is not multisampled but I think (with lot’s of reverb and delay) I managed to get it sounding not too bad.
The patches are self-programmed and I had some fun putting together the thunder and rain ambience effects from free online sample libraries.
The tracks are as follows. TRACKS Synth 1 – M1 Organ bass-like patch Synth 2 – phased detuned sawtooth pad MIDI 1 – MIDI channel 3 to piano sample track on Rhythm MIDI 2 – MIDI channel 4 to acoustic guitar sample on Rhythm Drum 1 – bass drum, 909 sample Drum 2 – 909 snare sample Drum 3 – 909 hihat and closed hihat samples. Drum 4 – ambient samples for thunder, rain etc. (from various free online sample libraries) edited via phaser effect as per original track. RHYTHM Track 3 (MIDI channel 3) Kurzweil K2000 sample. Track 4 (MIDI channel 4) Kawai acoustic guitar sample.
The remaining sample tracks and sequencer on the Rhythm were not used (to reduce the complexity of the track). I based the track on the Dreams version of the song and had to simplify it somewhat to fit in the Tracks. Many of the patterns were played at quarter speed and the notes played unquantized to use micro-steps to squeeze longer squences in. Nonetheless I’ve had to simplify the arrangement but I hope I’ve captured the spirit of this classic.
Thanks once again for watching. Fire away with any questions in the comments and stay tuned"
Fuse Audio Labs offers OCELOT Octaver as octave-down weight- and octave-up presence-delivering plugin with precision and ease
DUESSELDORF, GERMANY: truly analog-sounding plugins developer Fuse Audio Labs is proud to announce availability of OCELOT Octaver — offered up as an octave-down weight- and octave-up presence-delivering plugin with precision and ease, duly designed to add deep punch to kicks, extra growl to bass, or subtle enhancements to synth lines as a streamlined tool that reshapes source material in powerful, specific ways with zero latency and minimal CPU (Central Processing Unit) load — as of June 19…
OCELOT Octaver offers full control over the frequency focus of each octave via dedicated TUNE controls — unlike many traditional octave effects, enabling optimal low-end extension and top-end lift to be dialled in with precision as a result of this being so successfully implemented. Its Listen mode, meanwhile, aids in identifying the exact range being enhanced, enabling highly targeted and musical results.
Anchored around a state-of-the-art algorithm, OCELOT Octaver maintains signal integrity throughout. The plugin delivers consistent, phase-stable performances — even on fast transients or harmonically complex sources, contrasting wildly with the warbly, glitch-prone behaviour common to many octavers out there. The outcome is tight, clean octave content that blends naturally into the mix.
OCELOT Octaver’s detailed visual feedback supports confident decision-making at all times. There are separate level meters for each octave, the output signals providing clear level referencing, while the collapsable FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) view reveals the effect’s spectral footprint. Furthermore, octave solo options, smart key shortcuts, and global level control complete a workflow built for flexibility, precision, and speed.
“Octavers are often either too simplistic or too unpredictable to be truly useful in serious productions,” proffers Fuse Audio Labs CEO Reimund Dratwa. “We set out to change that, offering precision tuning, rock-solid tracking, and deep sound-shaping tools in a plugin that feels as creative as it is reliable,” he continues, concluding: “It’s all about inspiring results, without it getting in the way.”
OCELOT Octaver is available at a significantly discounted introductory promo price of only $29.00 USD until July 19, 2025 — rising thereafter to its regular price of $69.00 USD — directly from its dedicated webpage, which includes more in-depth information, here: https://fuseaudiolabs.com/ocelotoctaver_utmpr.html
14-day trial versions of all Fuse Audio Labs plugins without any limitations are available to download from here: https://fuseaudiolabs.com/plugins.html
"A piece created with the @SequentialLLC Prophet-10, modular synth, and tape loops—ambient music where glitchy modular rhythms drift beneath slow-moving harmonies.
Prophet-10: Improvised live with @strymon blueSky reverb.
Modular synth: A Plaits voice is sequenced by a monome Grid and WHITE WHALE, bit-reduced through a Roland BITRAZER, then further processed with @ChaseBlissAudio LOSSY and the MOOD MK II. In Ableton Live, two layers of Beat Repeat add additional glitches.
Tape loop: A pre-recorded piano loop is played back at half speed. Its output feeds the @HologramElectronics MICROCOSM, where reverb and looping create layered textures."
Dr. Endo – Live Set PTN12: EXPR//Residue --- A cinematic ambient track evoking the grandeur of a distant galactic empire, EXPR//Residue begins with a solemn tuba drone and unfolds into a slowly shifting sonic landscape.
The tuba forms the foundation of the piece—its rich tone is enhanced with a harmonic waveform to add depth, and sent through GRAIN FX to transform a simple two-note bassline into a dense, evolving low-frequency texture.
Oboe chords provide a gentle, pad-like atmosphere, blending naturally into reverb to create soft, immersive motion. Scattered throughout the track, piano accents are pulled and stretched using the BACKTIDE function, adding expressive drag and emotional tension.
One track is dedicated to filtered noise, modulated by an LFO on the low-pass filter cutoff. This creates a storm-like undercurrent that blends beautifully with the reverb, expanding the spatial field of the mix.
This piece explores the remnants of something vast and ancient—a residue of sound and structure left drifting in space.
"The new updates for TX–6 and TP–7 introduce some new features like enhanced sequencer functionality with customizable options, link mode, extended midi functionality, extended gain range, mix-down mode, and more. update your device via our update utility tool and read more about the new functions in the user guides.
TX–6 OS update 1.3.0
TX–6 is our battery-powered ultra portable pro-mixer and multi-functional audio interface with 6 stereo channels, or 12 if you split them to mono. great for quick setups on the go or in your studio. packed with features like effects, midi, usb recording, beat detection, an instrument tuner, synth, sequencer, drum machine, and much more.
user configurable sequencer patterns alongside the 22 factory-loaded patterns, the TX–6 now supports six additional user-configurable sequencer pattern slots. each of these allows for per-step pitch assignment, making it possible to compose custom melodic sequences.
pattern chaining once you’ve made your own sequencer patterns, you can start chaining them together. instead of looping just one pattern, this update lets you combine up to four, giving your tracks more variation.
slide the TX–6 now includes a slide (portamento) function, allowing precise control over pitch transitions when sequencing waveforms for more refined melodic expression.
"The Teenage Engineering OP-XY has a unique way of unlocking creativity — even when inspiration runs low. This video is built around an old OP-XY project I recently unearthed, proof that unfinished ideas can still spark something new.
In this live jam, the Teenage Engineering OP-XY becomes the heart of a dark-retro-futuristic soundscape, blending synthwave grooves, ambient arpeggios, and gritty, distorted textures. A raw and expressive performance shaped by the OP-XY’s playful, hands-on approach to electronic music.
🎧 For the full experience — including subtle textures, punchy bass, and detailed drums — headphones are highly recommended.

"This one is in good cosmetic condition and working 100%. It has just been serviced and needs nothing. As the title says, this is an original Rev 3.3 with 120 programs and factory midi. There is no vintage button on this one! I got this from a gentleman who had it serviced by Wine Country before they went out of business. When I got it, there were still some problems so it has just been serviced again and it's solid now. This is marked as a domestic sale only, but I will ship out of the country. You can send me a message if you're considering to buy it and I will calculate the shipping cost then. Shipping overseas will not be cheap. Please keep this in mind."
"This Yamaha CS-50 is a classic analog polyphonic synth that delivers warm, expressive tones with rich modulation and filter control. Known as the little brother to the legendary CS-80, the CS-50 carries much of the same sonic character—lush VCOs, a powerful resonant filter, and a smooth, dynamic response that makes it ideal for pads, leads, and atmospheric textures. This particular unit has been upgraded with a Kenton MIDI kit, giving it modern playability while keeping the original sound path fully intact.
The Kenton MIDI retrofit gives you note on/off control, pitch bend, and sustain over MIDI, allowing you to control this analog beast from any modern DAW or MIDI controller. It still functions just as it always has from the front panel—no limitations there—but with the added flexibility to drop it right into a current production setup. The synth is in solid shape, with the original wood panels, keybed, sliders, and case showing honest wear but fully functional. All controls are smooth, all keys and sliders work as expected, and it’s ready to go.
This is a hard-to-find synth on its own, and even harder to find with a Kenton MIDI upgrade already installed and tested. If you’re after vintage analog character with real-world usability in today’s studio, this CS-50 offers a serious combination of tone, playability, and legacy value."
"1000 PX Professional Expander (120 presets). Loaded with some of the best offerings from the same award-winning samples found in the K250 in a 24-note polyphonic multitimbral synth. Tested in great condition, includes AC power cable."
"This is the holy grail of early digital additive synths: a true successor to Bell Labs' Alles Machine, built by Crumar and Digital Keyboards between 1982–85. With only ~700–800 units ever made and fewer than ~100 still running today this Synergy Mk. I stands as an ultra-rare, pro-grade instrument crafted for sonic innovators like Wendy Carlos who used it on the TRON soundtrack as well as her albums Digital Moonscapes and Beauty in the Beast.
This unit is fully functional and fully responsive. It harnesses a formidable engine of 32 digital oscillators capable of additive and phase-modulation tones, delivering 8 or 16 voice polyphony. You have 24 internal presets at your disposal, with cartridge expansion support. It’s standout feature is the ability to layer up to four distinct tones simultaneously, creating lush, shimmering textures or aggressive, harmonically rich leads. Sure, editing is minimal on-board, but that means its extremely user-friendly. Dial in a tone and go."
"Step into the golden era of analog synthesis with this pre-owned 1975 ARP Axxe, a vintage monophonic synthesizer that delivers the unmistakable sound of the '70s. Introduced as a more accessible sibling to the legendary ARP Odyssey, the Axxe brought rich, punchy analog tones to players ranging from beginners to seasoned professionals. This early Mark I unit retains its distinctive black-and-gold aesthetic, robust metal chassis, and classic wooden side panels, all hallmarks of a time when craftsmanship and innovation defined electronic instrument design.
Renowned for its straightforward layout and characterful sonic palette, the ARP Axxe excels at producing gritty basslines, searing leads, and otherworldly effects. Its single-oscillator signal path, paired with a powerful resonant low-pass filter and classic ADSR envelope, allows for bold, expressive shaping with hands-on immediacy. Whether you're integrating it into a modular setup via CV/Gate or seeking that authentic vintage analog sound for your studio, the Axxe remains a sought-after gem with historical clout and musical relevance. Though this unit shows typical signs of vintage wear consistent with its age, it remains in solid playing condition and is ready for many more years of creative exploration."
"Comes with the manuals pictured, a 1G memory card with some loaded files, original drivers CD's (not pictured) and a very nice Gator molded hard travel flight case w/ wheels ($400.00 value). (Will be shipped wrapped in a shipping blanket inside the case.)"
"Discover the raw, complex, and rhythmically rich character of the Moog Subharmonicon with this unique sample pack. This demonstration captures the essence of this semi-modular synthesizer. Perfect for cinematic, experimental, ambient, and electronic music producers.
"Welcome to the soundset for the semi-modular system Behringer Edge + Spice. ES Generative is a collection of 25 patches. This genre of sound design is widely popular in modular culture, and Behringer synths offer a great feature set to explore it. 🟪🟥 Controlled chaos and randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo breaks, pattern uniqueness, alternation between short and long sounds, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and FX-like tones, freaky splashes within sequences — all these elements are included in the soundset.
Generative timbres can be a great addition to — or the lead part of — ambient or techno tracks, jams, and performances. You can also record fragments into your DAW or sampler, slice them into one-shots or loops — creating unique material for further processing.
"Join singer-songwriter and producer May Zoean as she follows her musical instincts, creating a track from scratch with ROLI Airwave and Piano M.
With Airwave, expressive gestures become sparks of inspiration, guiding the music, shaping the sound, and unlocking ideas in motion. Watch as May follows her creative impulses to build a full track in real time, embracing flow, freedom, and the beautiful surprises along the way."

She reveals 3 secret recipes + signature cocktail. Watch as she performs her new single 'Moon Bloom' using ENZO X, prEDITOR v3 and Ableton Live."
All sounds in this demo come from the Redshift 6. The kick was sent out dry from the main output, while the other five parts — including the hi-hat, rumble, two LFO-bleep tracks, and a backing synth track — were routed through the auxiliary output. The aux output was fed into a Zoom Multistomp MS-100 pedal for delay and reverb.
With Redshift 6, multitimbrality is always at your fingertips. Its user interface is built from the ground up to enable a seamless workflow between mono- and multitimbral setups.
Under the hood, Redshift 6 is always multitimbral—there’s no need to switch to a specific multitimbral mode. A new multitimbral synth part can be activated with just the push of a button. Voice allocation, polyphony/paraphony, group settings, and other parameters are easily configured in the Parts view.
Multitimbrality allows Redshift 6 to function as multiple independent synthesizers. Each part can be polyphonic, paraphonic, or monophonic, and each can have its own unique character."
