This Little Box Changed Synths Forever | Tom Oberheim’s SEM Story

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

See the full interview here.

"How did the legendary Oberheim SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) come to life? In this video, Tom Oberheim himself tells the story of how necessity became the mother of invention.
After creating the world’s first digital sequencer, Tom needed a dedicated synthesizer voice to play back the note information generated by the sequencer. His solution was the SEM — a compact, self-contained synth voice that could be sequenced while leaving a musician’s main synthesizer free to perform alongside it. This groundbreaking idea gave players entirely new creative possibilities and laid the foundation for some of the most influential instruments in music history. Join me, along with Rob Rosen (Rosen Sound) and Marcus Ryle (Alesis, Line 6), as we hear directly from Tom about the innovation that started it all.
👉 Discover how the SEM was born and why it changed the future of synthesis."

The Haunted Arcade of the DecadeBridge Triad (Drones, Noises, Glitches and Rhythms)

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"The DecadeBridge Triad is a unique little Synth module that generates drones, rhythms, noises and glitches - it sounds, to me at least, like a haunted arcade in the 80s - malfunctioning machines, wailing, whirring and bleeping. It's based on a trio of analog oscillators arranged in a fairly unique, raw and unpredictable arrangement. It works great as part of a drone or noise setup, makes for excellent sample fodder, and thanks to the neat "reset" input it can play along with drum machines and sequencers (especially paired with a little low-pass gate).

Life's Window | Prophet 10 soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"It was my Dad's birthday today. He didn't make it to this birthday, or the last 14 birthday's either. Time just goes on and takes everything away from us. But I wanted to write something on his Birthday. I miss him. I miss my mom too. I miss them both.

Meanwhile, I'm just barely hanging on. My wife still hasn't found a job and I sometimes think she won't get one before I lose mine due to all the awesome stuff going on in the federal government. We've been worried about what will happen when we're both without jobs. I couldn't get a job if I tried (and I have). I guess no one wants someone who has a really niche background. It's just not a great place to be.

Life goes on anyway.

The Beauty of Two Vermona Perfourmers - Deluge in Action #13

video upload by Krzysztof Steplowski

"🎹 Listen to the 8-voice Vermona Perfourmer! This time a simple improvisation, not a proper track.

🎹 Check my patches for synths: https://synth-patches.com/

👉 In this video I present an improvisation using two Vermona Performers chained together. Instead of two four-voice synths, I've got a single, eight-voice, polyphonic analogue beast.

👉 Both synthesizers are connected via a ‪@Bome‬ Box – this small device can distribute MIDI messages sent via a single channel to any number of MIDI channels. In this case, the Bome Box distributes each received note to eight additional MIDI channels, which I send to both synthesizers via a Midi Splitter (Banana Split in this case).

👉 All I need is a very simple motif based on a single pattern in Deluge. By playing with individual oscillators, I can introduce additional variations to that motif. Then, all that's left is to play with the effect—in this case, ‪@audiothingies‬ Doctor A."

Back at it again- Live looping in the studio 2025 and an Interview with MR TUNA Music

video upload by MR TUNA Music

"My friends I am sorry to leave you hanging all summer with no jams, but its a beautiful sunny world out there and I've got to be out IN IT! So in the meantime I have a few jams backlogged that have **never before been released** and expect some weird b-sides that I was too embarrassed to post when I had content to spare !

Anyways- lots going on here, we got some Hydrasynth deluxe, classic analog pads from the JX-8P... and lots of super pump-jumping with the MX-1 sidechaining and doing some beat effects. Jupiter-80 muted trumpet is the funnest sound in the world.

Stay a while, and listen!"

---

And an interview with MR TUNA Music by Ivan Trajkovic aka dejayiwan editor and journalist (and sometimes producer and DJ):

Q: Have computers and DAWs, in a sense, destroyed creativity – why do we have so many “DAWless” setups today?

A: I think a really big part of it is a desire to get away from 'the screen'. Staring at a computer all day for work, clicking away on a mouse and keyboard can become exhausting after a long day, and to break away from the rigidity and comforts of software simply makes it more fun.... and thats a really big part of why I do what I do. There is some minor advantage to the near-unbeatable quality of analog circuitry you cant quite replicate working purely within a DAW, but that point is being made more and more moot by incredible emulations and virtual analog softsynths.

Q: Today we have apps like BandLab that are complete studios on a phone – have we reached “peak technology”?

A: It staggers me to think about what the future might hold now that music production can be with someone anywhere anytime so long as they have their phones. You can literally be on the bus making a hit track with your thumb. That’s crazy. But I don’t think it’s peak.... Tech is always moving and it doesnt stop for anyone... AI is going to be the next big thing whether we like it or not and we need to find a way to keep in check so we're still doing the creating and imagining and the technology is just an extension of that.

Q: Why are new producers so mesmerized with 80s synths and samplers, even though they’re obsolete tech?

A: Things were built differently. Things were built for professionals. Instruments had a quality of sound and build that is still unmatched today. Some of my gear is 40+ years old and sounds better than the stuff from 2025 thats trying its best to emulate it all today. Why dont we build synths like that anymore? Because its all about money and the manufacturers want to make as much of it as possible while spending the least amount.

Q: With so much new electronic music today, how can anyone “find” an audience?

A: Maybe it's lame to say, but the best path is to be authentic to yourself. When i started finally sharing my music it was more of a personal diary than something i was using to 'get famous' or 'find an audience', but by being true to what I wanted and my own personal vision (and having trust in that over some time), people started to see what I was doing and it all came together. People connect with personality, but it's obvious when you're not being yourself... not just tracks. Its routine to say because its true: be consistent, put your stuff out there. The internet is huge — your crowd is out there, just waiting to stumble onto your page at 3AM.

Q: You have one of the most interesting studios – what was the idea behind its creation?

A: My studio was built with one idea in mind... live looping. When I started dreaming up how I *wanted* to make music there wasnt even the right tools to do it properly.... sequencers were still fairly limited and there wasnt a lot of people in the live-looping jam space. I was really discovering it all and making it work on my own. It all came together with the introduction of the Squarp Pyramid sequencer--- what it allowed me to do, the freedom it allowed me to create with... it was the breakthrough piece of gear I needed to bring everything together and start building and building... and BUILDING. I love the music I get to create, but I am more proud of my studio as a form of art in the beauty of it's function and how it's designed to jam with friends, than I ever have been of the music that I create in it.

Q: What’s the future of electronic music – maybe apps and DAWs in virtual reality?

A: The virtual space is here to stay and it will only get more and more indistinguishable from the real world.... We might be already living in that simulation, but like I said earlier I think the real future is going to be (for better or for worse) in AI production techniques, editing, and complete song production. We're already at the point where AI can create a song for us instantly with our own voices, but how long will it be before AI is doing our chores and boring tasks so that we are free to be creative and put our energy into real art rather than the opposite world we live in now! AI should save us from the hard stuff and let us work on the 'fun stuff', the worthy stuff, the music stuff!

Hyper Arpeggio | Roland JP-8080

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto



"Roland JP-8000/8080 | A Convergence of Sonic History and Future Innovation

Greetings, fellow sonic architects.

In the relentless pursuit of unparalleled sound, we often find ourselves drawn to the very essence of what makes a waveform resonate with unique character. It is within this spirit of exploration that we wish to share a recent development, an evolution in the very fabric of digital sound design.

Before we delve deeper into the intricacies, allow us to present the coordinates for this journey:

Explore the evolution: JP-8000 - 8080 (Sample Pack) ver.3.5: https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

The Genesis of Texture: Reimagining Digital Warmth

For decades, the digital realm has strived to replicate the organic nuances of analog synthesis. Yet, a select few instruments from a pivotal era achieved a distinct warmth, a "softness" that modern software often struggles to emulate. This unique sonic signature, characterized by a rounded edge in its harmonic contours, defines a particular epoch of electronic music. It is a sound that transcends mere emulation, rooted in the very architecture of its digital modeling.

Consider the foundational elements of electronic music: the driving pulse, the atmospheric expanse, the melodic narrative. Each requires a specific textural quality to truly captivate. Our ongoing research and development in this domain have led to a significant refinement of a collection dedicated to these very principles. This material is meticulously curated for beatmakers operating within the intricate landscapes of Neo Trance, Future Garage, Wave, Hardwave, and Witch House, where the precise articulation of sound is paramount.

An Unveiling: Hyper Arpeggio and Beyond"

Our latest iteration, designated as version 3.5, introduces a novel element that pushes the boundaries of rhythmic and atmospheric integration: the Hyper Arpeggio. These are not merely sequences; they are high-velocity, BPM-agnostic drones, meticulously crafted to emphasize the distinct, almost liquid phrasing inherent to the original sound source. This particular characteristic, a unique "rounded edge" in its articulation, is a direct consequence of the original hardware's design, a feature that remains remarkably difficult to replicate with contemporary synthesis methods. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of instruments like the Roland JP-8000 and JP-8080, progenitors of the legendary Super Saw, whose influence continues to shape the sonic landscape.

"3 oscillator semi-modular synth, complex modulation capabilities, MIDI & CV control.

Probably no other monophonic analog synth has this amount of sound-bending capabilities at your fingertips on an ultra-compact footprint. Directly prepatched and switchable are:

VCO2 synchable to VCO1
VCO3 can modulate either VCO2 (only) or VCO1 + 2
VCO3 can modulate the filter
VCO3 can be taken out of the audio path completely, becoming an 'invisible' source for modulation only
the filter envelope (VCF) can modulare VCO2 ('sweep VCO')
VCF has two modes of keytracking
both LFOs can control VCOs AND filter cutoff at the same time and with independent settings
LFO1 can do S&H by sampling LFO2 (making them interdependent) or the noise generator
oh, there actually is an "OSC4" which is white noise (with its own level control), in addition to the white noise setting on VCO3 and the white noise setting on LFO2. That's 3 noise generators in just one synth.
glide function
VCA switchable positive / negative
envelope trigger switch
...
In addition, there are the patch points which add PWM modulation, external audio insert points, individual VCO outs, V-gate in on LFO1 +++

Condition:
Fully functional. Great overall cosmetic condition. Very few signs of use. A very few light marks – see photos."

"Korg M-500 Micro Preset circa 1978, famously used by Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark, Portishead, etc. The controls are a bit limited, but it has a huge variety of sounds, does everything from thick basslines to horns, strings, woodwind, and a theremin-type setting. You can combine any 2 sounds together for some really cool tones.

One issue that is common with this model, is that Korg used a certain type of capacitor that over years, eventually leaks, causing failure of the synth and damage to the traces on the circuit board. Many of these M-500s you see for sale are not working or only partially working, due to the failed caps. When I got this synth, I replaced all the electrolytic capacitors with modern panasonic caps and cleaned the whole circuit board, so it's working perfectly and will do for years to come. Everything works exactly as it should with no issues and it sounds amazing! A very cool and unique monosynth capable of some really great sounds."

Cross-spectral transfering

video upload by Frap Tools

"FUMANA has a special array of 16 bandpass filters exclusively built for spectral analysis. It can thus transfer the energy of the modulator signal to the exact portion of the carrier’s spectrum.

However, many traditional filter banks used just half of their bands to transfer the energy over the other half, like the odd over the even ones, or vice versa.

If you want to replicate this behavior with FUMANA, fear not: you just need a handful of patch cables, like in this video!"

any sub - self-powered sub oscillator module

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"Here are a shoddy "proof this exists" video of a dual suboscillator (-1 octave, -2octaves times two) that can be used as a hand held device or a 8HP Eurorack module (where you get a total of four sub oscs) for use with modular synths or semi-modular synths with a patch bay. These sub oscillator modules are only powered by the waveform you send into them, so they do not require a conventional power supply.

I call this an EDI module because it's intended to be free but linked to a donation to the Women's Audio Mission and/or The Trevor Project, i.e. if you make one of these for yourself, I expect you to donate a little bit to either or both of these institutions, and if you want to make commercial use of it, you have to donate in proportion to how many modules you sell.

Why you do or don’t need 3 oscillators

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"A three-oscillator setup seems to be the high-end standard in the land of synths. That benchmark has a lot to do with some of the first synths available to a wide public, like the Minimoog model D, EMS VCS 3, and ARP 2600. All 3 oscillator synths. But modern classics like the Pro 3, or even poly synths like the Hydrasynth, or Peak also have a 3-oscillator setup. So… should you have a triple oscillator bank in you modular?"

L-1 Sallen Key Filters. Mutant Cure VCF vs. DS VCF.

video upload by Aleksei Laman

"L-1 Synthesizer makes two Sallen-Key filters.

Mutant Cure VCF is optical, based on vactrols.
DS VCF is solid-state, based on original L-1 discrete gain cells.

In this video I split input waves and modulations between these filters.
I play them by one and both together.

Mutant Cure VCF has correct Sallen-Key LP mode. HP mode is mutant-ish, it has not so nice timbre as it must be and no selfocillation.

So I play this filter only in LP mode.

DS VCF has correct Sallen-Key LP, BP, HP modes. It switches between LP, BP, HP topologies using sophisticated switching system with 12 electronic switches.

Also it has voltage control on resonance and Drive knob which adds gain to the input.

Mutant Cure VCF sounds more blurry. It's not a flaw, it's a feature of vactrols, for that we love them.
DS VCF sounds cleaner and faster, especially on trebles. Also it has more convex resonance.

"Skorpion is an 8-stage vector based wavefolder module that boasts a huge range of sounds via it's deep, yet intuitive set of controls. In this video, we cut about an hour of jamming and experimentation together into about 8 minutes of sound examples. No talking in this one, just pure sonic exploration and a demonstration of what this module can do with a simple input.

In the intro, we're running a sine wave through Skorpion and add some CV from an envelope into slope to create some rhythm. We add some drums to hear this in context with a drum beat. We then transition into a sine wave as the input signal, then some Saw (with windows) and Swarm Waveforms, experiment with a filter before the Skorpion, and end up back with some drums in different configurations.

WMD designs electronic hardware for musicians longing for a balance of precision and exploration. Our quality control is the absolute finest, with service to match."

"In this artist spotlight, @HarveySutherland puts the new Moog Messenger to work, first in his studio, then inside the iconic SynthTemple.

From classic filter sweeps to real-time modulation, motion sequencing, and CV/gate control over iconic modular gear, the Messenger proves itself as an intuitive, expressive synth built for modern musicians.

🎛️ Features explored:
• New take on Moog's classic ladder filter & analog tone
• Creative sequencer with parameter locks
• CV/gate out to modular system
• Compact, portable design with full-size keys and after-touch

Shot across two sessions, this video captures the musicality, immediacy, and performance potential of the Messenger."

"For this video, I did cut a few minutes out of today’s session, the hour I spend as daily pain therapy in the studio.
I am going to do another take in the next days, because I noticed after exporting the video that I'd prefer to change the shorter sequence from 6 to 5 notes, as it does not sound as nice as I had the feeling it was while doing it in the studio."
