Also Sprach Zarathustra, R. Strauss -Arturia Polybrute 12 - Privative man invented the synthesizer!


video upload by Sean Christopher Synthesizers

"I present to you Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss performed on the incredible Arturia Polybrute 12. I did this piece last year with a Prophet 10 [posted here], but was not happy with it. The Arturia Polybrute 12 was the perfect synth to take another crack at it, so I hope that you enjoy my effort with this version."

5 Things you can do with the Sinc Pravus offset from Noise Engineering


video upload by Noise Engineering

"We're featuring 5 patch ideas using Sinc Pravus, the configurable quad offset in 4HP. If you find this helpful, let us know in the comments!

0:09 CV Layer Cake
1:02 Tame that Chaos
1:42 Polyrhythm Control
2:32 Detuned Drones
3:03 Handy Arp Machine

Sinc Pravus demo video: [posted here]

Sinc Pravus is available here: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Sometimes you have the perfect CV signal, but it’s just not in the right range. Enter Sinc Pravus, a Goldilocks of a quad offset. Whether you find your CV ranges are too high or too low, Sinc Pravus is just right.

Each of Sinc Pravus’s four channels are controlled by a dedicated potentiometer with an LED for monitoring signal outputs. The input jacks are normalled from top to bottom so it can offset the same signal by different amounts or simply act as a mult.

Use the back-panel switch to configure Sinc Pravus’s offset range to either ±5 or ±10 volts. With nothing patched to the inputs, the channels can be used as DC-voltage generators, especially useful for controlling multiple CV destinations with a single parameter. Sinc Pravus is a workhorse in 4 HP."

Chompi Club and Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus 2


video upload by Luca Longobardi

"I spent the whole summer working on the soundtrack of a new immersive show that carried me to a distant country—one that feels strangely close to my own world. Along the way, I discovered words and images I had never known, yet they started resonating within me, offering sudden, immense epiphanies.
Today I sat down without a storyboard to guide me, and I played—reliving in sound this paradoxical time: absurdly still, yet absurdly alive."

"Jomox Alpha Base, tested in perfect working order. Includes SD card and original power supply.

It's true analogue. Eleven instruments, sequencer, Midi/USB/SD-Card. Samples. Sampling inputs, balanced individual outputs.

Although it may appear similar to the classics XBASE 09, 999 and 888, the ALPHA BASE has an entirely new design under the hood. We have put in the concentrated know-how of the Jomox drum machines and of our synths of the past 20 years. We have simplified some things, but also added new components or have combined them new. The outcome is the best sounding and most versatile drum machine that Jomox has ever built."

"All keys and sliders work perfectly. This instrument has been stored in my church office for 25 years. It has had very little use.
The sound seems to be in great shape.

The only cosmetic flaw is a small crack by the power button.
I do not have any peddles for it."

"Vintage Yamaha SS30 string synth in excellent working condition. Released in 1977, this was Yamaha’s only dedicated string machine—favoured by Ultravox, Magazine, Visage, and Simple Minds for its lush, chorus-rich sound and road-ready build.

Specs & Condition:

• Power: 100V Japanese unit (stepdown transformer required for AU/EU mains)

• Operation: Fully functional, all voices and effects working as intended

• Cosmetics: Minor surface marks and faint sticker residue; purely cosmetic

• Storage: Long-term storage in climate-controlled warehouse

Features:

• Full polyphony via divide-down architecture

• Dual oscillators per voice with detune and vibrato

• Cello and Violin voices with ensemble (chorus) effect

• Brilliance and sustain controls

• 49-key keyboard

Included:

• Main unit

• Original power cable

This is a rare chance to own a piece of analogue history with real studio and stage provenance. Ideal for collectors, synth heads, and producers chasing authentic late-70s string textures."

Jam at Tre Modular Nr.7


video upload by Tre Modular

"We present to you our latest recorded jam session.

This time instead of showing you our modules, we want to take you on a ride through our city, Rīga . Not the postcard-perfect version, but the raw, gritty side of it that comes alive after dark.

The footage comes from a project that was shot back in 2020. This project never saw the light of day. It felt wrong to let it gather dust, so we’ve brought it back and paired it with a live jam to create this video .

The track you’ll hear is made entirely with Tre Modular modules, recorded live in one take. The only audio post-processing is a fade-in at the start. Everything else is exactly as it happened.

So put on your headphones, dim the lights and join us in a nightly drive through Rīga."

Arcane Devices CARESS OF STARS / first time use / 1U cv and gate sequencer / discount for backers


video upload by BRiES

"A few weeks ago Pawel of Arcane Devices contacted me about possibly testing out this versatile 1U sequencer. I don't have a 1U row but fortunately they have a custom enclosure made just for it! Mind you that this video is me trying out the module for the very first time, without having read the manual and without updating the firmware to a current state. I like how easy it is to program something musical with it and the 'loop' feature that lets you loop any length of steps is just awesome for on the fly polymeter vibes."

Eurorack Industrial Techno Jam – Sovage Engineering Analog Drum System (Uncut 15min)


video upload by SOVAGE ENGINEERING

"Have a taste of a Sovage Engineering analog drum system. If you wonder how I make my videos, this is a 100% uncut 15 minute live stream session of me tweaking and searching for cool loops to keep, with both good and less good stuff lol.

Here I’m using only 4 tracks sequenced by the Erica Synths BLACK SEQUENCER:
Track 1 = Kick by LA REINE DU CHAOS
Track 2 = Synth Voice by LA REINE DU CHAOS x L’ECORCHEUR x FAILLE TEMPORELLE
Track 3 = Perc by BINOME channel 1
Track 4 = Perc by BINOME channel 2
Everything is going into one BAGARRE for its famous natural grit and mix glue! Direct out no post processing, RAW STUFF !"
