Nightverb and DB-01s: Generative dark ambient


video upload by Richard DeHove

"My Christmas video. Dialog is from the 1948 film noir English movie 'A Woman's Vengeance'. Audio is two DB-01s running left and right into the Erica Synths Nightverb. The Nightverb audio is absolutely as-is with no other processing than what you see. Movie dialog has been processed in Reaper and the Valhalla delay effect has been automated - which is an incredibly tedious process compared with riding the dials on hardware.

The DB-01s are set to different scales and random playback. The melody was randomly generated. I'll make a separate video showing this (simple) process if anyone's interested.

Merry Christmas :D

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

Battering Jam


video upload by nun4tak

"A short jam, progressively bringing punch with Shakmat modules, chaos with Qu-Bit modules and tension with the GS-Music e7.

I recently got into (modular) synths and this is the first video about it that I’m posting here. It’s been a lot of fun and I might share some other videos in the future!

This jam is named after Shakmat’s Battering Ram module, which as we say in French: “ça envoie du bois !”

Rest in Peace ~ Chris Rea 🌠


video upload by RetroSound

"(c)2007-25 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

One of my favorite tracks from the late 70s.
Fool (If You Think It`s Over) by Chris Rea from the album Whatever Happened to Benny Santini? (1978)

I’m saddened...😞
His music has been the soundtrack of my life. I loved his melodies, I loved his lyrics, and I loved his voice. Driving Home for Christmas, On the Beach, and Josephine are timeless classics that I always turn up loud whenever I hear them on the radio.

I was fortunate enough to get an Amiga license record in 1988 after queuing for hours at the music shop. Holding one of the few records in my hands brought me so much joy, especially since Western music was only available under the counter in the GDR.
Rest in Peace, Chris. Your music will live on forever. Thank you.🌠

Novation Nova 2025 Review 👉 The Better JP-8000? | A Hardware Perspective | The DoubleSaw


video upload by Kosmokatze

"The Novation Nova Desktop is over 25 years old — yet it’s still used, discussed, and loved by many electronic musicians.

In this video, I take an honest and critical look at the Nova from today’s perspective:
its sound engine, workflow, modulation depth, strengths, limitations, and how it compares to other late-90s virtual analog classics like the JP-8000 and Access Virus.

This is a pure hardware-focused review.
There are no VST comparisons, no modern software emulations, and no plug-ins involved.
The goal is to evaluate the Nova as what it is: a standalone hardware synthesizer with its own character.

Whether you’re into trance, techno, ambient, or classic electronic sounds — this review looks at why the Nova still matters in 2025.

This Pine Tree Doesn’t Follow Time — It Shapes It (Deep Meditation Experiment)


video upload by Bio Music Vibrations

"The signals of a plant are difficult to interpret — especially when their sound is not naturally tuned to the human ear.

What you hear at first may feel raw, almost chaotic.
Not music as we usually understand it, but movement… pulses… living electricity searching for a voice.

In this experiment, I connected a pine tree to a modular synthesizer and did something unusual: instead of forcing harmony, I limited the system to just a few notes and allowed the tree to influence the tempo itself.

The result was surprising.
The BPM was not fixed.
It expanded and contracted organically — breathing rather than following a grid.
This reflects a simple but profound idea once described by Einstein:
time is not absolute.

Here, time is not dictated by a machine, but shaped by a living organism responding to the present moment.

The graph linked below shows the smoothed bioelectrical readings of the pine tree over time, revealing natural fluctuations and distinct states.
Because life is never perfectly stable.
It flows.

With the addition of subtle textures and gentle binaural beats, the sound opens a space for deep meditation, where the mind slows down enough to listen — not with the ears, but with attention.
This feels especially meaningful during the Christmas season.

Pine trees have long symbolized continuity, resilience, and life through darkness.
And yet, millions are cut down each year — used briefly, then forgotten.
This music is not a loud protest.

It is a quiet reminder.
A reminder that forests are not resources —
they are relationships.

Living systems that regulate climate, hold memory, and support all life, including ours.
As the sound unfolds, thoughts soften.
There is no past to revisit.
No future to fix.
Only this vibration.
This breath of time shaped by a tree.
Peace is not something we create.
It is something we remember.

I like the sound of the K1. It's got some cool samples and nice choirs, strings, bells, flutes and experimental sounds. It's a bit flat and lifeless, and not very dynamic. Maybe a poor man's Roland JD-800, but with a joystick which increases its cool factor.

KALEIDOSCOPE. Standalone Journey


video upload by Vadjuse

"In this noisy and deep track, I use all four tracks from Kaleidoscope.

Tracks 1 and 2 are ambient backgrounds created by the interaction of two notes via FM cross-modulation.

Track 3 is a pitch-modulated hi-hat. The hi-hat itself is created via a wavefolder. The resonance of the high-pass filter also adds a stable note. This voice modulates itself via FM, which is why the noise appears in the sound.

Track 4 is an explosive, distorted kick drum created via modulation of the high-pass filter. This track goes into an endless, noisy self-oscillation because the distortion is placed after the comb filter.

This self-oscillation is suppressed by the volume envelopes of Tracks 1 and 2 by reducing the feedback of the comb filter.

Presets from this composition can be downloaded and loaded into your instrument using the link. https://disk.yandex.ru/d/T3fZoPYqTkyjUg

Order yours: http://www.ericasynths.lv"



"The final and most unique PĒRKONS HD-01 Limited Edition run of 100 units features a sophisticated industrial grey enclosure, signature lighting strike engraved panels and a special touch – each unit is signed by our self-proclaimed visionary, Ģirts. The side panels are made from a selection of woods, handpicked by our friend - an artisan craftsman named Sandis Vāgners. Cherry, walnut, ash, teak, sapele, maple and padouk are featured in various combinations, creating a unique infusion of character for each pair of panels with a premium lacquer finish to bring out the characteristic grain of each wood. The engraved pattern is achieved with the Lichtenburg burning method that ensures a truly unique pattern on each panel.
Features
4 hybrid voices (digital sound engine and analogue multimode filter with overdrive)
8 controls per voice
External trigger inputs for each voice
Individual voice outputs
Individual FX sends and returns
Master FX send and return
64 kit and 64 pattern memory + additional memory on the SD card
Built-in BBD emulation and a compressor
Modulation LFO with morphing waveforms; up to 8 modulation destinations per voice
4 track sequencer, 4 time divisions and 4 time multiplications per track
Per-step ratchets and probabilities
Shuffle & groove settings for each track
MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
Dimensions: 315mm x 454mm x 90mm (including knob height)
Weight: 3.7 kg
PĒRKONS features four sonically versatile hybrid voices (digital sound engine + analogue multimode filter with overdrive) and a sequencer with simultaneous control over all four percussion tracks.

Each voice has 3 sound engine modes, an HP/BP/LP filter and 8 controls for nuanced sound design, including an internal BBD FX send. All voice parameter settings can be saved as KITS. To add dynamics to the performance, parameter automation is implemented and a modulation LFO can be assigned to all parameters.

For a real thunderstorm, integration with external gear is considered - each voice has a dedicated trigger input, individual output, and FX send and return with 6.3mm jack sockets, along with extensive MIDI implementation. All voices are summed and run through a built-in compressor.

Time to ride the skies!"
