Oberheim TEO-5: Tom Sawyer to Techno and DnB Using Its Amazing Filter • TEO-5 Filter Demo #oberheim


video upload by SynthSoniq

"In this Oberheim TEO-5 demo and tutorial, I explore its filter as I walk through how to create the Tom Sawyer patch from Rush’s classic track, I show how I use the arpeggiator and filter for a Techno / Trance riff, and I demo how to use the TEO-5’s Unison “chord mode” to create a DnB pad with a filter sweep.

I think it's good to know how to program a patch like the Tom Sawyer sound, not just because you're trying to play a Rush song, but because it teaches you about filter envelopes, resonance, and the general character of a synth's filter. I like making it on any synth because it gives me a feel for that synth's sound. It's then easy to add some attack to the envelope to turn the patch into a great pad, or decrease the decay to make some cool bass sounds.

TipTop Resonator // What is a resonator?


video upload by Dexba

"I always feel like there is some obfuscation going on with the terminology in synthesizers (and music theory too, btw), and that's even more noticeable when we're talking about 70s technology 😄
This time, we're checking out the new TipTop module, which is, by nam,e a resonator, the blueprint coming from the Moog PolyMoog, but we'll find out the lines are blurred, and you might find great uses for it as a filterbank, an end-of-chain EQ, maybe even a sound source, and definitely a performative element for added movement and depth to our patches!"

BugBrand Introduces TCS - Touch Control Sequencer



via BugBrand (For those in the US: check on availability with Noisebug per below)

"The 5FW design stems from ideas I used way back in the Old Blue days when I had the CTL1 Touch Panel - that design went through a few iterations during its 4 years of life, moving from just a control/preset device to incorporating some basic sequencing. Now I have taken it several steps further - expanding it out to 8 steps and increasing the control & sequencing options. The result is a powerful little hands-on sequencing hub! It can link up with other clocking devices, especially the Sequence - indeed, I'm just beginning to investigate a joiner/expander for the pair that would allow the Control link to be easily switched on/off and also incorporate a handful of other useful functions.

In the meantime, the first modules are starting to ship - they can either fit in a larger system or sit in a 5FW case - perhaps an interesting addition to other banana systems!

US shipping & Tariffs:
There has been a fair bit of uncertainty because of new tariffs on shipments into the US (10% from UK vs 20% or more from most other places), alongside the ending of the De Minimis exemption for shipments under $800. Given that I send a fair amount to people in the States, these changes have proved worrying!

Thankfully I've been able to jiggle things around and have found that I can still send things easily & affordably - indeed, often including pre-payment of tariffs while not raising the overall shipping cost, and sticking with Royal Mail who have proved so reliable over many years of use.

Noisebug:
But, alongside these changes, I'm rekindling my prior work with the wonderful Noisebug store of Pomona, California. Just today I've sent a reasonable initial load - a couple of 1Frame systems, several mini-systems and a handful of red designs.

As you know, I've tended to work directly with people worldwide, but have kept in with a very few small & specific stores - Noisebug really fit the bill here for me! So if you've got requests, feel free to get in contact with them - or continue to nudge me direct ;)"

Vongon Introduces Solarfaze Stereo 3-band Saturator and Detune/Chorus Pedal

Pics and details via Perfect Circuit

The Solarfaze from Vongon is a stereo 3-band saturator and detune/chorus pedal that gives you exacting control over the frequency landscape of your signal. Whether you're adding a bit of undulatory warmth and saturation or assaulting the frequency spectra of your choice, Solarfaze as you covered, often surprising you with its tonal complexity. The heart of the pedal is a 3-band Bass, Mid, and Treble saturation mixer with each section offering three levels of gain: Soft, Boost, and Hard. Each band can be finetuned to one of five different frequencies, making this pedal as versatile as you are.

The Detune section offers a simple interface for adding movement and interest to your signal, affecting the stereo field, as well for a satisfying binaural experience. Adjust the Amount and Mix to your taste and turn up the Envelope control for dynamic expression that is based on your playing. Size can be adjusted as well to create a smoother or tighter detune effect. Other features include a built-in Noise Gate and an effect rerouting option. Indeed, the Solarfaze is a wonderful addition to the already incredibly Vongon lineup and is sure to find a use in any pedalboard.

SOLARFAZE FEATURES

Stereo multi-band saturator and chorus
Soft-clipping waveshapers for smooth transition from subtle warmth to heavy breakup
Bass, Mid, and Treble drive sliders
Selectable gain level per band: Soft (0dB), Boost (+6dB), Hard (+12dB)
Each band has 5 different frequency options
Stereo detune chorus with independent left/right pitch shifts
Envelope modulation of detune amount for dynamic stereo animation
Route Saturation into Detune and vice versa
Built-in Noise Gate with adjustable threshold
MIDI Input for parameter control and 9 preset storage

Dark Atmo Arp Presets: Korg Microkorg 2. No Talk Sound Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"⚒️ Granite Pulse is a bank of 64 arpeggio presets for Korg microKORG 2.

The main idea is to create noisy and dirty, yet atmospheric sounds based on natural phenomena and fossils. Bank was inspired by artists such as Bassvictim, A.G. Cook, SOPHIE, and Flume.

⚒️ Granite Pulse is a bank of 64 arpeggio presets for Korg microKORG 2.
The main idea is to create noisy and dirty, yet atmospheric sounds based on natural phenomena and fossils. Bank was inspired by artists such as Bassvictim, A.G. Cook, SOPHIE, and Flume.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/micr...
‼️ Compatible with Microkorg 2 only. Not compatible with the original Microkorg 1.
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).

💨The soundset spans a wide range of tones, from dirty, noisy, lo-fi, punchy and detuned to more atmospheric and smoothed.
The sounds include various combinations of oscillators in different modes, as well as different types of reverb, delay, distortion, filters, and modulations.

🎛 ModWheel adds expressiveness — brightening the sound for dynamic performance.

🎹The soundset is suitable for many genres: industrial, electronica, cinematic, darkwave, synthwave, IDM, bass music, progressive, techno, breaks, jungle, and others.

💡 To import presets, connect the MicroKorg 2 to your computer via USB and set the synthesizer to USB Mass Storage mode (press and hold the Function 1 button while powering on the unit—this is the left/first button below the display).
The storage contains a "programs" folder. Locate the user presets—their names start with the letter "U". Delete all 64 user presets: from U_A1 to U_H8 (or back them up to a folder on your computer).
Copy the files from the "programs" folder in the downloaded soundset and paste them into the "programs" folder in the Mass Storage.
Once completed, eject the USB drive and exit USB Mass Storage mode (Function 5 button).
The synthesizer will restart automatically.
I added pads to the demo. They are not included in the soundset."

"Roland System 100 Full Set + boxes + cables + manuals!

Collectors condition and fully working Sys100
Probably the only system as nice and as complete left in the world...

All is there:
- System 101 Keyboard / Synth
- System 102 Expander
- System 103 Mixer with spring reverb
- System 104 Sequencer up to 1x24 or 2x 12 step
- System 109 Speakers 2x

- Full set of manuals
- Both Patch books for the 101 and 102, example patches
- Both Patch notes for the 101 and 102, empty sheets
- Patch cords, what I believe to be original Sys100 cables
- Speaker cables, what I believe to be original Sys100 cables
- Also the original piece of hardboard to attach under the Sys102 to prevent it from tipping


This has spent most of its life in a closet until I saved it years ago. I had everything serviced back then and it has been nice and stable since.
Fun to play and nice to have the system complete and use it as one instrument.
The sound of 70-ties Roland analog is unmatched, warm and rich. Sequencer nice and intuitive, Mixer is a coloring device of itself, has built in spring reverb and inputs for external (space) echo. VU-meter lights work of course."

"This is a custom built synth made for me by Jos Van Ras who is an ex-Phillips engineer in the Netherlands who builds Elektor modules and cases.

The synth consists of the following modules: 3 x VCO - very powerful VCOs with a Moog vibe and unlike most Elektors, these have Sync inputs and the sync sound is really powerful. 3 x VCF - 3 different VCFs, two based on the original Elektor designs (a 12dB multiode filter, and another filter switchable between 24/18/12/6 dB/octave with LP and HP outputs) and a third based on the Steiner Parker filter which is really nice sounding. 1 x triple LFO - 3 simple LFOs without voltage control but with a variety of waveshapes. 1 x NOISE / RANDOM VOLTAGE 4 x ADSR 2 x VCA 2 x MIXER 1 x quadruple MULTIPLES 1 x RING MOD 1 x S&H / Inverter 1 x COM which is an output module with a 3 band EQ which is surprisingly useful 1 x MIDI to CV converter

This synth offers tremendous bang for the buck, I think it gives quite a Moog feeling in sound. It contains everything you need for a great variety of sounds but you can always patch it with Eurorack or other modular gear. I will post some sound examples as there aren't many good demos online.

The negatives are that the cabinet is just functional MDF, no fancy timber, and the MIDI interface is very basic. I usually use a Kenton for more complex MIDI control."

Pics of the inside below.

"Now this is a beautiful and very rare gem that you will almost never see for sale; This true analog and unique member of the Roland TR family is very cool: it has lots of adjustable trims inside so shape your drum sounds, like inside the CR-78! This also makes this the perfect vintage Roland moddable analog drum machine. Also: individual outs is easy on this one.

This one is of course after not mint anymore after 50 years, but honestly; despite a few wood flaws it actualy looks very nice still, certainly comparing to other units I have seen.

On the technical side: it works for the most part. On the main output everything seems normal, besides the volume balance seems not entirely accurate, but I have nothing useful to compare. The internal speaker does'nt seem to pass the bass drum. The speaker has been disconnected before for shipping [because not all countries accept speakers being shipped the quick way], maybe something was not re-attached properly. Therefor is sold as 'kind of working but needs technical service'. So sold AS-IS. No returns or [partly] refunds if anything other then described is not working properly. Maybe I am over-accurate here, just want to tell an honest story where others just hope for the best advertising crap as 'in good condition'. Hope you appreciate it!

Volume is rewireable to 120v, its now set to 100V. I have never seen this unit on European voltage to be honest. For all higher voltages you need a simple step down transformer. Or give it a new replacemnet transformer when you are servicing this beast."

Stylophone CPM DF-8 - What is a "Dynamic Multi-Filter" anyway?


video upload by Oscillator Sink

"The Stylophone CPM DF-8 is the follow up to the well received (and for good reason!) DS-2 drone synth. Rather than being a synth first, the DF-8 is a dual/stereo filter at heart, but it has a good few tricks up its sleeve that might elevate it from being 'just a filter'.

The DF-8 will be released 20th November 2025 and the RRP is: £229 | €269 | $299

Transparency notice: I was sent the DF-8 prototype as a beta-tester, and was allowed to keep the unit to make videos about it. I wasn't otherwise paid, and Dubreq have had no editorial oversight on this video.

This Makes Anything Sound Amazing// Stylophone DF-8 Filter / Mutator and then some... Filter Demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Ever wondered what happens when Stylophone — the quirky British maker of those pocket synths from the ‘60s — decides to build a serious analogue filter with the remake of the classic Mutronics Mutator filter chip and the screaming madman from the *Stylophone GenR8*? Meet the *Stylophone CPM DF-8*, a gritty, super flexible and occasionally unpredictable beast that turns any signal into pure lo-fi magic.

THE STYLOPHONE CPM DF-8 ANALOG DYNAMIC MULTI-FILTER
RELEASE DATE: 20TH NOV '25
PRICE: £229 | €269 | $299

In this video, I dive into the DF-8 showing how it reacts to drums, synths, and even full mixes. Expect sweeps, growls, distortion, and plenty of Character. This isn’t your average boutique filter — it’s dirty, chaotic, and full of charm.

You’ll hear:

The raw filter tone and resonance range
How it shapes synths and drum machines
Drive, envelope and modulation tricks
Whether it’s worth adding to your studio or live setup

If you love sound design, modular gear, or just discovering weird musical devices, this one’s for you."
