How Synthesizers Changed Music History

video upload by Andy Whitmore

"🎛️ The History of Synthesizers
From the massive Telharmonium of 1901 to today’s sleek soft synths, this video takes you through 150 years of electronic music innovation. Learn how electricity first made sound, how Moog and Buchla shaped the synth revolution, how digital FM and sampling changed everything in the '80s, and how modern VSTs like Serum and Omnisphere continue the legacy.
Along the way, you'll meet legends like Robert Moog, Don Buchla, Wendy Carlos, and Dave Smith—and discover the instruments that changed the sound of pop, rock, hip-hop, EDM, and film forever.
🧠 Whether you're a synth nerd or just curious how your favourite sounds came to be, this video is your complete crash course."

Dr. Endo explores LIVEN Evoke: Days

video upload by SONICWARE

"LIVEN Evoke | Acoustronic Synthesizer with Granular Effect
https://sonicware.jp/pages/liven-evoke

Dr. Endo – Live Set
PTN08: Days
---
Jammed a bit today with the LIVEN Evoke.
There’s always something going on in life, but just being able to spend another ordinary day feels incredibly precious and meaningful.
That’s the feeling I had in mind when making this track.
The melody is played on violin, with upright piano handling the accompaniment.
There’s also a second piano part in the higher range, set to trigger notes randomly using the Dice function at a 34% chance—so the phrasing changes subtly each time it plays.
That high-pitched piano is also sent through GRAIN FX, with the send level modulated slowly by an LFO.
This adds a soft, fading texture as the grain effect comes and goes gently over time.
I also layered in some noise to create a quiet, rain-like background.

Yu Endo

今日もLIVEN EvokeでJamってみました。
日々いろんなことがあるけれど、それでも今日を普通に過ごせるということは、本当にありがたくて、愛おしいことなんだよなぁ、っと
そんなことを思いながら作った曲です。
バイオリンでメロディを、アップライトピアノで伴奏を。
もうひとつの高音ピアノパートは、ダイス機能で34％の確率でノートが鳴るように設定していて、演奏のたびに少しずつ表情が変わるようにしています。
さらにその高音パートには、GRAIN FXのSEND量をLFOでゆっくり揺らして、
GRAINが現れたり消えたりするような、淡く滲む空気感を加えました。
ノイズも重ねて、静かな雨音のような背景も添えています。

video upload by AudioPilz

"Hey everybody, this video is a dream come true as we are going to do something I’ve been wanting to do since I was a broke teenager back in the day: build an Original 90s Dance Music Production Setup including synths, drum machine, recording gear and sequencer.

All the equipment we will be using for making music today was brought to the market before the year 2000 and while you might be longing for the workflows of these seemingly simpler times - be careful what you wish for.
