Skirting the Narrows

video upload by davidryle

"Instruo Harmonaig and MI Marbles with Acid Rain Technology Ripsaw and Doepfer A-111-4 and A-105-4. These quad vcos and filter setups were used along with some 5U large format modules from Synthetic Sound Labs, synthesizers.com, Grove Audio, Oakley Sound Systems and Moon Modular to present various sound sketches of the Harmonaig's chord outputs.
The percussive opening part trigger pattern was taken from the 4MS Quad Clock Distributor, RCD, and a switch module. The Modcan dual delay was time shifted using a triple switch module in the 5U.
Additional transpose sequences were mixed from the dotcom Q960 and Marbles to the Harmonaig.
All sounds were recorded in real-time to Cubase and video edited in Final Cut Pro."

Shibasaki MOD - Tokyo set song #7

video upload by Arman Bohn

"Song #7 from my set at Shibasaki MOD in Tokyo, April, 2025.

The MT32-pi starts it off by playing some noise samples I collected with my SOMA Ether. Those samples are being sequenced and panned (via CC LFO) by the Phantasmal Force - which is sending clock to everything.

Next, I bring in a percussive pattern in 7/8 on GREAT CONJUNCTION. I randomize some of the instruments throught creating some nice robotic textures.

After I get going, I use the Phantasmal Force to unmute different instruments (drums/synths/bass) on the Dirtywave M8.

The Prismatic Spray MKii is is layered in with some hi-hat sounding bytebeat noise, retriggered in tempo by the Phantasmal Force."

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #147: Sony DPS-F7 - Song 1

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

A synthesizer from Sony. You might remember the DPS-F7 & other units in the series from this previous post.

This video appears to be the first demo of the Sony DPS-F7 featured on the site.

"This is the first recording with the Sony DPS-F7. As far as I know, it's the only synthesizer ever made by Sony. However, it's only part of the DPS-F7, which can also be a percussion synthesizer, as well as a fading parametric equalizer, dynamic filter, compressor/limiter, sub-harmonic generator, vocoder, and saturator.

The features sound interesting for a monophonic digital synthesizer. It has two oscillators with classic waveforms AND two Karplus-Strong oscillators, which can be routed to any of the four filters (LPF, HPF, BPF1, BPF2). You can optionally connect the HPF and the two BPFs in front of the LPF. Six ADSR envelopes are available as VCAs and VCFs. The (unfortunately) only LFO is permanently linked to the pitch. The audio signal then passes through a stereo delay and a soft clipper.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone."

When Silence Fell

video upload by peter m mahr

"This is the start of a long-held dream — to combine my photos with my music, letting each frame have its own soundtrack.

WHEN SILENCE FELL
A weekend tucked away in the mountains. Two souls meet in solitude, expecting a quiet evening. But sometimes, silence breaks — and words change everything.

When Silence Fell — a moment suspended between shadow and truth. This photo was taken in Toggenburg, Switzerland. The moment I snapped it, I knew right away how it should look — like in an old black-and-white Hitchcock movie.

Let the music and image tell the story you didn’t see coming.

MUTING MIXER & VCA Jam w/ V-SHAPE wave shaper/folder #eurorack by AJH Synth

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"The V-Shape is a wave-folder/wave-shaping module, and also features a distortion circuit, with full CV control - it can make a single VCO sound a lot more interesting. The Gemini also features here, using both of its 2 VCFs and shared CV control to filter the same input signal separately.

Video & Performance by @DreamsOfWires

The AJH SYNTH Eurorack modular range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.
Official website page: https://ajhsynth.com

Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself."

Knobula - Monumatic. Epic Modular Eurorack Poly Synth!

video upload by The Unperson

"In today's video I am exploring a new module from Knobula called Monumatic. Monumatic is the successor the Poly Cinematic which was one of the first modules to bring polyphony to eurorack. Monumatic is a significant upgrade in pretty much every way. There are more waveforms, more filters, more effects, and most importantly more modulation! Another of my favourite features is that notes will overlap even using using gate and CV to control the module. This means you're not dependant on MIDI to access polyphony.

Future Retro Vectra Prototype with Black/Gold Faceplate SN 0001

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

via this Reverb listing

"One of only 2 known Vectras with an early Black/Gold faceplate which was never put into production. No Black Gold keyboards were ever made as far as I know. These were prototypes. This unit is fully working with all mods and upgrades including a firmware upgrade to version 2. Includes box, packing, manuals, and Universal power supply. The other known unit has purple heartwood endcaps and ALSO features a 001 serial number. These are the only units like this known to exist. Will be double boxed for safe delivery worldwide.

The Vectra is a unique hybrid synthesizer with a flexible architecture that allows many different forms of synthesis to be realized. It’s the best of both worlds… The Vectra utilizes digital oscillators, ring modulators, noise sources, vector mixer, LFO’s, complex envelopes, and modulation routings providing many capabilities that would be very difficult to produce with analog circuitry alone. This allows for accurate tuning, repeatability of complex patches, and patch storage. The Vectra also provides a multi-mode analog filter, VCA, and final output, as these provide the best sonic qualities."

STG MuSonics Vanilla Voice (5U MU Dotcom Large Format!)

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

via this Reverb listing

You can find demos in previous posts here.

From the listing:

"If you have not been following the 5U scene, you may or may not know that Suit and Tie Guy's eurorack company, STG Soundlabs, was acquired in a private equity trade valued at 6 million $DOGE by America's oldest synthesizer company, MuSonics (makers of fine musical instruments). You may also not know that this new and revitalized MuSonics then set about completing the work that Tom Oberheim started and created the "Vanilla Synthesizer" -- the culmination of all of the circuit and synthesis ideas of the Oberheim Two Voice. This is the first version of that synthesizer.

If you want SEM type sounds, this is the best sounding SEM that it is possible to introduce into your studio in the year of our lord 2025. Arguably, it is the best sounding analog monophonic synthesizer that currently exists. Set aside that it obviously looks beautiful and amazing and ergonomic and that it invites you to play it; it simply sounds better than any other monosynth made in this millennium.

Including STG's unique backplane CV/Gate cables to pre-patch control signals between modules, making these modules something like an Oberheim SEM with Arp 2600 pre-patchability -- this thing is a true modern classic. :)"

Mutable Instruments Shruthi XT Hybrid Mono Wavetable Synth w/ 4 Pole Mission Analog Filter

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

via this Reverb listing

Pic of the inside below.

"For sale is a Mutable Instruments Shruthi XT hybrid digital/analog monosynth. Osc, envelopes & LFO's are digital but passed through a true analog filter, in this case the 4 Pole Mission filter. The XT has greater hands-on control than the original Shruthi-1, I liken it to a budget Waldorf Microwave XT. The oscillator section allows for some interesting sound generating combinations including XOR, phase distortion and bitwise mangling.

4-Pole Mission filter specs from Mutable: "A clean 4-pole filter based on the high quality SSM2164, from which are derived 15 different filter responses (LP, HP, notch, allpass…) according to a technique popularized on the Oberheim Xpander. Additional circuitry provides 4 different “flavours” of the resonance self-oscillation, from pure and liquid to chaotic and distorted" Filter will self-oscillate and tracks decently across ~4 octaves.

This unit works perfectly and features the latest and final firmware, 1.02. Comes with a generic power adapter- 9V center POSITIVE (not Boss style which is center negative- don't use one of those to try and power this!).

Black aluminum case, rogan knobs."

Roland Juno 106 Vintage Analog Synthesizer w/New Voice Chips

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

via this eBay listing, also on Reverb

"The Roland Juno-106 is an iconic 80s polyphonic synthesizer celebrated for its lush analog chorus, warm pads, and punchy basses that have defined countless classic tracks. With MIDI control, hands-on sliders, and rock-solid reliability, it delivers timeless analog tone that fits seamlessly into both vintage and modern productions.

This synthesizer is in very good condition with all original knobs, buttons and slider caps. One original voice chip was problematic, so I replaced all of the voice chips with new clones. I replaced the original 2 prong power cord with a grounded IEC inlet so the synthesizer can use a standard 3 prong IEC power cord, and one will be included."

HEAL - Electronica #15 // Analog Four, Octatrack, Modular, Subharmonicon and Electric Guitar

video upload by David Falcon

"Estos últimos días necesitaba un rato para hacer música sin mayores pretensiones. La creación de este tema ha sido terapéutico para mí y de ahí el nombre.

Estoy cada vez más cómodo con este setup. He añadido una pedalera Harley Benton Spaceship 80 para tener todos los cables ordenados y recogidos, salvo los del modular por supuesto. Así puedo llevar conmigo el setup a donde quiera.

Analog Four mkii, Octatrack mkii, Subharmonicon y Modular.

En este caso he añadido un segundo filtro, el Dual dagger de Shakmat aunque poco uso le doy en esta Jam en concreto. Filtra ligeramente los sonidos de Arbhar.

En la parte final me apetecía duplicar la melodía principal con un segundo instrumento y me decidí por la guitarra ya que es mi instrumento principal y últimamente no tengo demasiadas oportunidades de utilizarla.

Eso es todo. Espero que os guste y cualquier duda a los comentarios estaré encantado de hablarlo.

(eng)
These last few days I really needed some time to create music and evade myself from everything going on in life. The creation of this one was therapeutic for me, hence the title.

I'm getting more and more comfortable with this setup. I added a Harley Benton Spaceship 80 pedalboard to keep all the cables organized and tidy, except for the modular, of course. This way, I can take the setup with me wherever I go.

Analog Four mkii, Octatrack mkii, Subharmonicon, and Modular.

I've added a second filter to the case, the Shakmat Dual Dagger, although I don't use it much in this particular jam. It slightly filters out Arbhar's sounds.

In the final part, I wanted to double the main melody with a second instrument, and I decided on the guitar since it's my main instrument and I haven't had many opportunities to use it lately.

That's all. I hope you like it, and if you have any questions, I'd be happy to discuss them in the comments."

Everybody needs a 101... and Donner's L1 is a decent, affordable version

video upload by MusicRadar Tech

Sound demos start at 17:55.

"With its deceptively versatile sound engine, easy-to-use sequencer and tactile, slider-based instrument, the SH-101 might be the ultimate first synth – other than the fact that original units sell for hundreds of £/$ on the second hand market. Thankfully, we're now spoiled for choice when it comes to budget 101-alikes. The latest to hit the market is Donner's Essential L1 – an 101 clone with an optional detachable keyboard. So how does it measure up?"
