DSI Poly Evolver soundscape with emotive pads


video upload by MIDERA

"Just pulled this out to see what it can do for me. Sometimes I forget how interesting it can sound, and, maybe more to the point, how good a 4 voice synth can sound.

I’ve just been going back and forth between trading this for a Moog Muse. In the one hand, I haven’t played my Poly Evolver much, on the other hand, if I sell it, the prices are getting crazy and I’d probably never get one again.

Sigh… no idea.

NI Raum for reverb"

8/31/25 (transpose) Roland CSQ-600 & System 100m & RE-301 + Alesis MIDIVERB II


video upload by Cfpp0

"We bought this Roland CSQ-600 “serviced” but there’s something wrong with it. Sometimes you go to record and it’s just silent, or the first few notes are silent. Anyways, we’ll get it fixed. Today I managed to record one sequence of notes into the CSQ-600 from the Roland System 100m 181 keyboard, then used the 181 to transpose the looping CSQ-600 sequence. This transposed sequence is modulating two 110 VCOs, and the 140 envelope is controlling the 110 VCAs. Offscreen I’m increasing the sustain and release, pretty much the whole time. The two 110s get mixed on the 130 mixer and the mono output is sent to the Roland RE-301 for tape echo, while the stereo reverb is preset 12 on the Alesis MIDIVERB II.

Cruising Historic US 101, California Coast (Carlsbad to Oceanside)

"We cruise along Historic US 101 in the southern California beach towns of Carlsbad and Oceanside. Also known as Coast Highway (and Carlsbad Blvd within the eponymous city limits), this was part of the original US 101 in California that stretched from San Diego to the Oregon border. It was truncated to Los Angeles in 1964, and several of the former sections to the south have been signed as "Historic US 101". This segment is also signed as San Diego county route S21.

Album with Make Noise only - Fracture #06 Live Performance


video upload by Anton Anru

"🎆 Fractures is the result of a series of experiments with the Make Noise modular trio: 0-Coast, Strega, and 0-Ctrl. This combination of instruments is perfectly suited for generative ambient music, where hypnotic repetition merges with expression and dynamic movement.

💽 I recorded a 10-track album using only three Make Noise devices and VST effects.
All tracks were recorded live in a single take, with no additional editing. Each piece is built around a sequenced pattern and a complex patch that evolves continuously, shaped manually in real time.

The album is available on all streaming platforms.
➕ SoundCloud: / fractures
➕ Bandcamp: https://anru.bandcamp.com/album/fract...

The album explores a wide emotional range — from brighter, more uplifting moments to darker, more noise-driven textures — offering a diverse sonic journey shaped by the raw, living nature of modular synthesis.

📒 I also have patches for Make Noise and other synthesizers: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/

🎛 Lately, I’ve been more interested in working with simpler forms rather than complex arrangements in DAW. Semi-modular synths are perfect for this approach. In this case, the arrangement is the patch itself. If it’s well thought out, you can easily play a full track in a specific genre—like ambient or techno—using just that one patch.

📝 I’m curious to hear your thoughts—does this kind of format immerse you in a certain mood or evoke a specific emotion? Or does the sound feel too experimental and harder to connect with?
I’d really appreciate any feedback. Enjoy listening!"

Dark DB-01 drones with 100% resonance (no talk)


video upload by Richard DeHove

"This began as a lengthy blather and demo of the Boss RT-2 ensemble pedal. That's the pedal designed as a Leslie effect emulation promising gorgeous swooshes and modulation. But as Bilbo Baggins warned (if I recall the quote correctly): "It's a dangerous business Frodo, switching on your synth. You play a single note, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."

So here all that remains of my sumptuous and detailed RT-2 demo is a rather dark, dirty, and meandering resonant dronefest. I blame the RT-2 of course. I was testing the effect on a poly synth and I was horrified that it seemed to be sucking all the bottom end away. Surely that couldn't be right I thought. So, purely as a test, I plugged in the trusty DB-01. That's all it took. The RT-2's tube saturation was engaged, the DB-01 resonance cranked, and beautiful harmonics cascaded out.

As usual there is absolutely no DAW processing on the DB-01 sound. The vocal samples were obviously added afterwards with some Valhalla delay. DB-01 delay is from the Boss SDE-3.

Many thanks to my kind patrons who keep this channel ad-free

rare birds: Zoom ER-200 analog delay and spring reverb

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by ohm_studi_ohm

"quick demo to showcase the Zoom ER-200 analog BBD delay and spring reverb currently for sale.
Unit was slightly modded to double the original delay max time.
Synth used is the Realistic Concermate MG-1 by Moog"



via this Reverb listing

"rare made in Japan analog BBD and spring reverb. It was also sold as Deki or Cosmic AE-7000 and is quite similar to the Evans Echopet 250 / Rolling Rec 4.

The EQ (tone) is applied to the preamp too so can be used to shape the sound of the input source even without effect, and the delay sound passes through the reverb tank, so even when echo volume is down but if there are some repeats, the delay sound will pass throuhg the reverb. This can give some nice results.

Quite lo-fi sounding, bit noisy but great on synths, check the demo I made.

The unit was modded to double the max delay time.

Everything is working as it should. Input gain is quite sensitive, even in instrument input so you'd better lower the output volume of your source to get the best S/N ratio without clipping."

Kosmische Ambient on the Manual Override


video upload by Biopower Audio

"The Biopower HI Five Eurorack modular synthesizer CV controller interface, paired with the remote Manual Override faderbank, allows you fine-detail expressive control over ambient patches.

This patch blends a drone from @befacosynth Noise Plethora with a fast arpeggio on Mutable Instruments' Rings. Fader Channel A modulates the drone pitch, B modulates a clock divider on the arpeggio, C and E modulate timbral parameters on rings, and D triggers a step in a sequence for the bass note of the quantized arpeggio.

Folktronica w/ Prophet-10, CS01, Nylon Guitar : Harbor 2025-08-31 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with nylon guitar, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and YAMAHA CS01. Folktronica where guitar and synth melodies drift over the background sounds of a harbor.

The Prophet-10 plays a tone blended with noise oscillators, processed with reverb from ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

The CS01 performs synth leads with vibrato, processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY with EQ and reverb.

The guitar sound is recorded using an NT-5 microphone."

Dystopian Space Ambient (GR1-Kalimba)


video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is a dystopian space ambient, featuring a GR-1 granular synthesizer from Tasty Chips Electronics for soundscapes, generated from my own sound samples. In addition a Kalimba running through a DigiTech Genesis 3 were used for the solo plays, a Stylophone Theremine were used for the radio-like background tweet, the Dimmed Light Devices Radio Module for another radio-noise and the Spitfire Audio LABS for the deep bass

I used for the recording the following effects devices: DigiTech Genesis 3, Gamechanger Audio Motor Pedal, Boss Slicer SL2, Hologram Microcosm, Pigtronix Echolution² Deluxe and a GFI System Specular Reverb². Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated.

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. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track using iZotope Ozone. The picture in the video I created with Midjourney."
