Sequential Fourm - Neon Dusk - 50 synth patches soundset


video upload by El Magico

"In this video, I’m going through some of the sounds from my new patch bank Neon Dusk for the Sequential Fourm. Reverb comes from Kinotone Ribbons.

It’s a collection of 50 custom patches — leads, pads, polys, brass, keys, and a few SFX — all inspired by classic analog tones and modern synthwave textures.

Each patch is designed to make use of polyphonic aftertouch and modulation, so there’s plenty of expression and movement when you play.

Hans Zimmer Next Level Giorgio III Monumental 5U Modular System

Hans Zimmer 2025 - Batman Dark Knight - Opening - Cologne / Köln - Next Level Live

video upload by C3|Nik

Pics and details below. First the video description:

"Some thoughts regarding the "Hans Zimmer - The Next Level" concert:

Amazing! Amazing! AMAZING!

I went to all shows of Hans Zimmer, some I've seen even multiple times. The sound quality of "Next Level" blew them all out of the water. It was louder, it was more intense, really top notch sound engineering. That part at 5:50 in the video was extremely intense, I have never experienced that kind of bass before. I sat close to the front, there was a line of subwoofers right in front of me, I would not be surprised if that part causes some anxiety for people, that's how intense it was.

Some pieces were re-arranged which was an interesting touch, it added a nice new dimension to it.

I can recommend it. It is expensive but a one-of-a-kind experience in my opinion."

Update: SynTesla video below added.

GIORGIO III, Hans Zimmer's monumental synthesiser manufactured by SynTesla

video upload by SynTesla

"SynTesla is the manufacturer of the gigantic GIORGIO III modular synthesiser commissioned by Hans Zimmer for his world tour 'Hans Zimmer Live The Next Level'. Discover the unboxing and assembly of this fabulous instrument."



This one is in via John L Rice.

via pidjyman on Mod Wiggler:

"The Giorgio III is a monumental 5U Modular synthesiser created by SynTesla (Pierre-Jean Tardiveau, aka pidjyman on MW) for composer Hans Zimmer for his world tour.

This synthesizer is undoubtedly the largest modular synth in the world, consisting of 12 cabinets measuring 5 x 5U + 1 x 3U in height. Only 10 cabinets are installed on stage, with two others serving as back-up behind the scenes.

This monster represents 10 months of hard work in total. 23 types of modules were designed and produced in large numbers. To give you an example, the synth is composed of 3 separate units of 4 voices each, for a total of 12 voices, with 2 VCOs, 2 DCOS, 2 filters, 6 DADSRs, 6 VCAs, 1 resonator, 4 LFOs, buffered multis, logic, attenuators, attenuverter, mixers, wavefolders, gate delays, summing mixers, etc. etc...

The modules were manufactured in France by Syntesla and designed by Yusynth and SynTesla. They were assembled in Los Angeles at Hans Zimmer's studios and then shipped to Germany for final assembly on the tour stage.

When the synth arrived in Oberhausen, Hans Zimmer had never seen it before (he was rehearsing in London while it was being assembled in LA), and I can promise you that his smile in the photo is not fake (neither is mine).

The electrical part of the cabinets was also designed and built by SynTesla. It includes an oversized power supply with a capacity of 10 amps, an active filter that provides perfectly stable and clean voltage, and a power distribution board in SynTesla and DotCom format, as well as an integrated voltmeter and ammeter. The whole system has several levels of safety.

This made it possible to connect each cabinet to a solid-state relay socket controlled by DMX from the lighting console. The robustness of the device allows the whole or part of the system to be switched on and off in sequence, depending on the pieces being played on stage."

Minimal Electronic w/ Prophet-10, Moog One, : Arcadia 2025-10-16 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88 — a work of minimal music built from overlapping sequenced phrases that gradually evolve in tone and texture.

All synthesizers are played via MIDI sequences from Ableton Live.

On the Prophet-10, the filter cutoff and resonance are manually adjusted, with the output processed through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky for reverb.

The Moog One’s EG Amount and waveform Mix parameters are manipulated during playback.

The Nord Lead is processed through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for rich reverb.

At the end of the piece, a deep reverb is added across the entire mix using ‪@ValhallaDSP‬ Valhalla Shimmer in the DAW."

GS e7 Analog Synth Sound Design | Sounds Created from Scratch


video upload by Sebastián Barrio

"🎹✨ In this video I present a selection of sounds created from scratch on my GS e7 polyphonic analog synthesizer, an instrument designed and built in Argentina 🇦🇷.

The goal was to explore different timbres within an aesthetic that blends progressive rock, space-inspired textures, ambient atmospheres, and some noisier, metal-oriented elements.

All audio comes straight from the GS e7, with no external processing or added effects.

🔸 Main gear: GS e7 Synthesizer (Analog, Polyphonic)
🔸 Origin: Argentina 🇦🇷

Teenage Engineering OP–XY 1.1.0 - sample slicer update


video upload by teenage engineering



with OS 1.1.0, your OP–XY becomes an even more powerful sampler. this update introduces a new sample slicer, perfect for chopping breaks, melodic sequences, or vocals. it offers three slicing modes for flexible, precise control over how you cut and play back your sounds.

transient-based slicing:
OP–XY automatically detects peaks and hits in your sample and slices them—ideal for drums, percussion, or anything with sharp attacks.

time-based slicing:
divides your sample into equal sections, great for loops, rhythmic material, or when you want perfectly even slices across the entire recording.

manual tap:
tap your own slice points to create custom rhythms and break your sample exactly where you want it.

to go along with the slicer, we also added parameter lockability to the drum sampler.

duck:
with the new update there’s a new lfo, duck. use duck to quickly add sidechain compression to any instrument track. it takes audio or note data from one track and modulates the volume of another. use it to create space for your kicks in your bass or to add movement to pads.

this update also brings several quality-of-life improvements for sequencing and performing. you can now define how OP–XY calculates scene length for more precise playback control. song mode has been refined to work consistently with the rest of the device, simply hold shift before pressing buttons. this allows you to continue using the musical keyboard even when in the song mode screen.

using sound link, you can now use the same sound across all patterns of a track, useful for live sets or when you want to skip presets per pattern. and finally, a much-requested feature: delayed scene switch. when performing live, queue up the next scene instead of immediately switching scenes.

Multimode Tube Filter, Saturator & Beyond! // VAMP from Apollo View Modular


video upload by DivKid

"With Vamp Apollo View modular took the early Korg MS-20 and MS-10 filter designs, which favoured non-linear character over stability and control, they added more character with a tube input saturation stage and tube resonance feedback path, further output clipping stage options and then designed in modern stability and control. I joke in the video the filter is so rubbery it might as well be wearing a gimp mask. Vamp is also multimode with low pass, band pass and high pass modes with routable pre/post VCA and gain option, smart normalled CV options and prevision circuitry to turn it into a full single module tube voice, killer kick drum and more.

VAMP
8HP Multi-Mode LP/BP/HP Sallen-Key Filter with Tube Saturation & Distortion

VAMP is a multi-mode analogue filter that gives you low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass responses in a compact 8HP design. At its heart lies a classic Sallen-Key topology supercharged with real vacuum tube (12AU7) saturation and multiple stages of clipping, letting you move seamlessly from smooth, hi-fi filtering to snarling, overdriven character.

One half of the tube is used to saturate the input, while the other half provide MS-20-inspired resonance limiting (tube, not diodes). With FLOW placing the VCA pre-tube or post-filter, and FANGS selecting Off / Soft / Hard output clipping, VAMP ranges from subtle warmth to ferocious harmonic destruction.
FEATURES
Three filter modes: low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass
Classic Sallen-Key topology with tube saturation and clipping

"In excellent condition and fully functional. Most importantly it has had the essential regulator modification. The instrument has been well looked after, having been kept in a non-smoking and pet-free home studio.

The synth comes with the original user's guide and a suitable UK mains power adapter. If you intend to use it outside the UK you will require a 9VAC 1.3A adapter for your local mains voltage.

Ensoniq's swansong, the FIZMO is an incredibly rare and highly sought-after 48-voice synthesizer which uses 2nd-generation Transwave technology to create very organic sounds unlike any other synth available. The top panel is festooned with realtime controls for many of its features, including the unique and quirky 'F I Z M O' knobs which alter various parameters per patch. It is most revered for its ability to create immense textures and soundscapes, often from just a single note.

For deep diving using a computer, there is a reasonably priced Mac / Windows application available called Fauxmo which is a standalone editor / librarian GUI. It edits the instrument via MIDI in real time."

All these and more are yours to compose. Shape evolving, expressive textures with virtuosic articulations, and fine-tune the feeling of every scene with smart tonal sculpting tools.

Knit nuanced threads

Layer up to three articulations per instrument. A distant legato dancing through the mirage. A tense marcato rising from the dunes. This is music in motion. For composers who don’t just support the story, but drive it forward. Bring the tapestry together with Odes’ clean interface, building on Lores and Fables with added rhythmic controls.

Immerse your audience

Guide the emotion of the moment with built-in mic mixing. Reflect real spaces with convolution reverb.
