Elektron Tonverk Jam | Simple Lead, Bass and Percussion
video upload by Bobo makes music
"A short jam on the Elektron Tonverk. I made a simple synth lead and a bassline from the stock samples, then added a multitrack for the percussion. Nothing too complex, but it was nice to put together."
Last Kings | Spectralis 2 and Virus TI
video upload by MIDERA
"Five months into my wife not finding a job (anyone know any open software engineer positions?). What a wild time out there. Seems like things just get worse and worse. Found out our AC is leaking coolant too. Can't wait to figure out the bill on that. Sooner than later will have to sell off a bunch of my gear. Guess it was fun while it lasted.

PlantsSystem-Pulsar
video upload by plantssystem
"'Pulsar' is a non-beat electronica piece.
Eliminating the framework of rhythm, it is constructed around the breathing and spatial movement of the sound itself. Subtle glitches, fluctuations created by granular synthesis, and delicate reverberation processing overlap to form a static yet internally pulsating acoustic body.
Permeating the entire work are flashes of sound that, despite having no set tempo, somehow feel periodic. These repetitions and intervals reconstruct 'time' in the listener's mind.
Acoustically, the center of gravity of the low frequencies is intentionally blurred, creating a floating spatial depth. High-frequency particles spread like countless points of light, enveloping the entire piece with gently shifting noise textures.
The result is an experience in which one is drawn in not by rhythm but by the 'gravity of sound.'
"Pulsar" is an attempt to rethink the structure of electronic music,
and also an acoustic experiment to visualize the quiet vibrations that lie between hearing and our sense of time. #pulsar #prophet5 #tardigrain"

Roland Jupiter 6 Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer: Serviced
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
"The legendary and highly coveted dark-horse of the big boi Roland polys—the Jupiter 6.
Mine is in amazing shape inside and out. Serviced by Foleytronics a few years ago. Everything works and sounds as it sold.
This one in particular has a unique provenance; it was sold at PI Music in Cleveland which is where treznor use to work. It's the place he mentions selling DX7s in the documentary "I Dream Of Wires". If you watch the video you will see the original PI music sticker on the back of the unit in good shape.
I love the Jupiter 6 more than the Jupiter 8 and have personally owned both. It's my favorite Roland poly and one of the only vintage polys to feature a multi-mode filter. The synth sounds raw, dark, and melancholic."

Red Roland SH-101 Monophonic Analog Synthesizer: Serviced

"Restored vintage red Roland SH-101. New power switch, recap and calibration. Power button was replaced a few years ago. If you touch it while the unit is on you'll hear pitch wobble. That said, unit is tuned and holds absolute pitch from F1-C6. The filter and amp envelopes are calibrated as well. Sounds incredible. Recently texted with C batteries, works great
Two things of note: I removed the dust covers on both units in the transpose and LFO section. Personal preference. The red unit has a unique mod wheel that was modified by the previous owner to have a very satisfying mechanical 'click' when out the mod stick up to trigger the LFO. I've owned and serviced over a dozen 101s and never encountered another like it."

Original SEM vs Behringer—Which Reigns Supreme?
video upload by Memetune Studio
"A basic comparison between a vintage Oberheim SEM and a Behringer 2-XM
The idea is to see if the VCO, VCF and envelopes sound and behave the same, or are there subtle differences that mean that I won't be selling my Four Voice any time soon 😉"

The New King Of LoFi Sampling By Brüel & Kjaer...wait what?
video upload by HAINBACH
Don't miss the follow-up video here.
"I thought I had seen it all in my 'will it music' test equipment journey. Then I stumbled upon the Brüel & Kjaer 7502 Digital Event Recorder and my mind was blown. They accidentally (?) designed a wonderful lofi pitch shifting echo, that allows for extreme effects. It can even be played as a keyboard controlled sampler with a range wide enough to turn everything into digital dust. An absolute gem and worth saving from the trash heap that all these instruments end up sooner or later.

PoliMaths | Multed Skewed Cycling Voltage Math | NUSS | Episode 04
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"OK, PoliMaths as an independent module, away from it's secred VCO comfort zone without a dual QXG. Is it worth diving into this deep, amazing, incredibly musical, versatile and innovative new concept? It's hard to say 'no' now, isn't it? On paper, it's a multed simple A/D envelope with a rise and fall, which can cycle. But it also features an 'oscillations' section, which is like an AD that always loops, and the AD can be shaped to the basic waveforms. So it's an LFO at low rates, and a VCO at high rates with V/OCT support that can decently track an octave or four. So it's not a precision VCO, it's an experimental sound maker. On it's own, polyphony is more like overlapping sounds, each sharing the same rate, which comes down to the same note. When spread is engaged, you'd skew these rates apart so you can morph between harmonic textures and atonal clusters. So it's polyphony, but confined to the 1 source, 8 copies design that marks the New Universal Synthesis System (NUSS).
On the negative side, it's not Maths, there's no voltage math, and it could be seen as a fancy mult for a single AD envelope or loop, with proper audio rate support and clever divisions and distributions.
But when you give it time, a wonderful module appears from behind the dense panel controls and the mysterious glyphs. On the positive side (where you can always find me), PoliMaths is a must have module. But I am also an extremely biased MakeNoise fan. I'd say this is not a typical beginner module, but if you want to make your modular stand out from the conventional east and west, this is definitely a module to consider."
Tech House on M8 Tracker Model:02 & MPKmini : Selectable 2025-10-05 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with @Dirtywave M8 Tracker Model:02 and @Akai_Pro MPKmini. Tech house where even kicks and intricate synth tones pass through filters and delay.
The MPKmini is used to control the M8 via Ableton’s MIDI thru. The knobs on the MPK control the filter cutoff of the synth tones and the DJ filter cutoff.
The keyboard is used to play the M8’s MACROSYNTH, with the arpeggiator turned on to generate detailed phrases."
