OSCar Repair


video upload by Really Nice Audio

"Join me a quest to bring this Oscar synth. Its has mainly cosmetic issues and there are a couple of surprises hidden inside!

Many thanks to
https://www.vintagesynthparts.com
for replacement keys. Well worth a look as they have many obscure parts for many synths.

Music from my forthcoming ATMOS album 'Height Supremacy'. I used this because the main synth line is my OSCar!"

Soniccouture Releases Deep Felt: Next Generation Soft Piano


video upload by Soniccouture

"James gives a quick play through of Soniccouture's Deep Felt soft piano VST instrument: an ultra-detailed take on the felt piano, with 18 velocity layers and multiple mic channels. https://www.soniccouture.com/en/produ..."



via Soniccouture

"Deep Felt is our take on the now ubiquitous felt / soft piano.

This most atmospheric of instruments is often sampled quickly, with a.. less than desirable specification.

We wanted to do it properly.

With 18 velocity layers and extensive mechanical details, Deep Felt takes this genre to a new level.

The tuning of SID chips and modern replacements


video upload by MIDI IN

"An interesting question came up this week about the tuning of SIDs. I'll be adding calibration tuning to MIDISID's menu which will solve any issues and also allow tuning to other non-tunable things, but I've spent the day testing the tuning of real SIDs and replacements, and looking at what affects their tuning and documented all of that here."

MOON Part 2 - Ambient Modular #19 // Subharmonicon, Rings, Take 5, Juno, Analog Four


video upload by David Falcon

"Parte dos de dos de esta mini serie. Misma secuencia en el @MoogSynthesizers Subharmonicon pero con un arreglo completamente diferente.
En este he añadido un par de elementos en post, ya que en la segunda parte necesitaba un pequeño empujón el tema. Para ello he usado el @SequentialLLC Take 5 y la emulación del Juno de @ArturiaOfficial .
Muy contento con el resultado.
Espero que esta comparativa os haya resultado interesante.

(eng)
Part two of two of this mini series. Same sequence in the Moog Subharmonicon but with a completely different arrangement.
In this I have added a couple of elements in the post, since in the second part the topic needed a little push. For this I have used Sequential Take 5 and Arturia's Juno emulation.
Very happy with the result.
I hope you found this comparison interesting."

Echolocator delay fully cranked for guitar-style feedback (no talk)


video upload by Richard DeHove

"I've always loved dirty guitar feedback. But since I don't play guitar (other than very bad Punk bass) it's proved hard to replicate with synths. Lately I've been looking at the Audrey II feedback drone thing which is all about feedback. At around 400 Eurobucks that seems a lot to pay for feedback so I thought: surely there's something that I already have that can do controlled feedback?

Delays are a reasonably obvious choice although very few have enough controls to generate the classic feedback tone yet also keep it under control. Happily the Echolocator can by a little manipulation of its compressor setting. At zero (in the 0 to 100 range) it is just a little too keen and can generate an overload which freezes the unit and requires a power cycle. I finally settled at "9" which gives it just enough compression to prevent meltdowns. Even so the output level needs to be kept low. Most of the other parameters just add degrees of thickening or turbulence which you can see in the video.

The routing here is the DB-01 into the Echolocator and then stereo out to the Zen with generous serves of distortion and a touch of lowpass filtering to roll off some of the shrill top end. I had thought the Echolocator would be the Zen's executioner, instead they're now a loving couple.

In the two demos here the first is with the clean delay setting with the feedback amount set low in the patch. The second demo using patch 54 uses the 'dirty' delay setting and has the feedback amount programmed high in the patch which is why it starts whining as soon as I switch to it.

0:00 Demo 1 clean
2:07 No Zen
2:51 Demo 2 dirty
3:50 No modulation
4:20 Timing change
5:00 Thick modulation

The Rmif Opus string synthesizer from the USSR

Theme From A Summer Place by Percy Faith (1959)
Written from Max Steiner

I used my old soviet trio RMIF Opus string synthesizer, Elektronika EM-26 vocoder/strings, Alisa 1377 analog synthesizer and some orchestral samples from my Emax sample library.

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

THIS IS NUTS!! // first patch exploration with SKORPION from WMD


video upload by DivKid

"Here's my (literal) first patch exploring the utterly wild wavefolding/shaper reanimator SKORPION from WMD. It takes a simple saw wave and creates a rich wide stereo sound that's reminiscent of chaining larger groups of modules with complex routings.

I'm working on a more fulsome demo video that's coming soon but I wanted to share this and show what I did for me 'right out of the box' as it were.

Skorpion is to be produced and released a little differently, it's open for pre-order directly with WMD now and they're going to produce one batch based on the pre order numbers and that's it. So grab one if you want one. You have until the 8th of October 2025 to pre order."

Lyle visits the Lost Ant Cafe


video upload by suitandtieguy

"Monday night I went to a very tiny bar in Lostant IL called the Lost Ant Cafe for fried chicken because the third shift clerk at the Tonica Casey's had a long conversation with Squiche and I about a bunch of stuff on the way back from Knobcon and I asked her what local fried chicken she liked. This was the only place I can remember from the conversation, and it's about a quarter mile down the road from a legendary upper Illinois River valley supper club called The Bull's Head which has been closed for too long. If you don't understand the relationship with the upper Illinois River valley, Italian supper clubs, and fried chicken then I don't know what to say other than you need to touch grass.

I came back to the studio and did this with Lyle. I think it demonstrates how absolutely fried this thing can sound. EBM guys are gonna want to save their pennies for the heaviest (by weight) bass machine they've ever played.

There is a modest amount of distortion on this example, in addition to slow LFOs from each voice controlled by each voice's auxiliary VCAs whose level is set by the Active Attenuators generating a simple voltage offset (something it does if you plug nothing into it) then multiplied to all four voices with the Active Multiples. These LFOs are fed into the second control input of the Vanilla Filters.

Each voice is panned across the soundfield with the output mixer.

In this example I only tweak the gate time on Continuo, global filter frequency and envelope amount, and the amount of the LFO to the filters from the Active Attenuators on the right side of the synthesizer.

As usual with Lyle videos, no effects or mastering at all, simply normalised.

Audio Verité, just like The Drive To 1981. I think it sounds great."

Feedback Fight! Umbra Takes on Dark Matter

"In this video we compare Isobar’s Umbra, a powerful stereo feedback accumulator, with Bastl’s Dark Matter, the cult-favorite feedback and distortion module, to see how each shapes sound in a Eurorack system. This head-to-head demo explores their strengths and differences. This comparison will help you decide which feedback module is right for your setup."

WMD Skorpion - Demo with DRUMS as the input source


video upload by WMDevices

"Wavefolding is wonderful on waveforms to add and skulpt harmonic content, but we get the question alot, "what about drums". Welp, here is the answer. In this video, we run through Skorpion with different drum sounds one at a time, then send an entire mix bus through it, finding textures, glitches, and other brilliant harmonic oddities. This module is one of a kind, truly.

Preorders close on Oct. 8th, 2025. After that, we build one run. Once it's gone, it's gone. Preorder yours today at WMDevicees.com."
