Sequential Fourm factory preset demo Bank 1

video upload by theover2

"I'm playing my new Sequential Fourm analog synthesizer, recorded the video with a Samsung S24 Ultra in HDR/10bit 4K 60Fps, recorded the analog output of the synthesizer with my Yamaha MG16 XU mixer/AD/DA converter, recording with the "pw" (PipeWire) tools on Fedora 44 (Linux) . Then I loaded the results in Davinci Studio (on the same Fedora 44 machine), aligned the tracks, and saved in HDR format for Youtube.

All the music is played by me on that synthesizer, live. No Midi, no edits, no effects, and no other sounds sources."

Oberheim TEO-5, Moog Minitaur, Volca Keys Analog Cybersynth

video upload by Scott Nellé - Plague Society

"As I close in on 1000 subscribers, I hope you'll join for the journey! Like and subscribe if you're new here and you enjoy hardware synth demo tracks. This is a sort of Cybersynth track played on three analog synths at very different price points. It's sequenced in my DAW, along with drums also from the DAW because I ran out of table space! The main synth here is the Oberheim TEO-5, playing a factory preset. In the intro it's playing a pluck, a lead, and a bass note across the five voices. Lead and bass get shifted to other synths later in the track. After the first time through, I add a ping-pong delay from the Zoom MS-70CDR+.

The main rolling bass comes from the Moog Minitaur straight into the DAW. No effects on the Minitaur this time, just the raw sound.

Mid way through the track the Korg Volca Keys takes over lead duties playing a patch with a fast LFO modulating the cutoff frequency. It's running through my Keeley Caverns V2. As a goth, I needed the special glow in the dark edition with bats and spiders on it, of course."

EMEAPP SONIC TEST DRIVE: Dewtron Mr. Bassman Bass Pedals feat. MIKE KIKER

video upload by EMEAPP

Note this appears to be the first demo of the Dewtron Mr. Bassman featured on the site. Previous posts have all been listings. You'll find some pics and additional info there though.

"In this episode of Sonic Test Drive, our Education Associate Mike Kiker ‪@MikeKiker‬ demonstrates the Dewtron Mr. Bassman.
One of the first commercially available standalone bass pedal units. Made in the UK in the early 1970s, famously used by bands such as Genesis, Yes, Led Zeppelin, and Renaissance. To compliment the Dewtron and to demonstrate how the deep frequencies generated by the Dewtron can supplement the low end in a band situation for both bass players and guitar players, Mike also plays a 1967 Rickenbacker 360/12-string guitar followed by a 1974 Rickenbacker 4001 bass. It wasn't long before more widely available bass pedal synths such as the Moog Taurus pedals supplanted the Dewtron in terms of both popularity and functionality. But it was the Dewtron that first made an impact as a supplemental bass instrument and has become an exceedingly rare and sought after instrument. #basspedals #bass #genesis #mikerutherford #yes #chrissquire #ledzeppelin #johnpauljones #renaissance #joncamp #museum #musictech #synthesizer #analog #analogsynth #progressiverock #guitarplayer #pedal #pedalboard #pedals #basssynth #synthbass #progrock"

Electric Cow EC909 - TR-909 drum machine / TB-303 synth for Atari STE/TT/Falcon

- demo & sample pack video upload by ako

Note this is the first post to feature the EC909.

"Quick look at the Electric Cow EC909 drum machine / soft synth for Atari ST/TT/ Falcon and a sample pack made from it's TR-909 sounds. It's a combined TR-909 and TB-303 emulator in one programme (a lot like Steinberg / Propellerheads's ReBirth) which is neat and features PCM samples from a TR909 for the drums (also neat) which can be edited in terms of pitch and attack. My understanding is their wares were more aimed at the falcon but will run on STEs and TTs given that this was released in 1998. EC909 can create single‑bar patterns (in real time on the Falcon), and then export them as AIFF or AVR (Both 8‑ or 16‑bit formats, mono or stereo). The program can also generate a MIDI File from your pattern. MIDI triggering for drums is also possible. The manual, which is still online, contains instructions for loading your own samples into to replace the stock 909 samples using the included CandiKit program, very cool! this lags noticeably on the STE, but still works well enough to play back the drum sounds for sampling.

Hack 5.0 | Sonicware Liven Ambient Ø + Evoke

video upload by Sonic Cartography

"What would happen if you connected the MIDI out to the MIDI in of the same synth (a Sonicware Liven, in this case)? Or created a MIDI loop between two synths / Livens? That's what I set out to answer in this video with the Sonicware Liven Ambient Ø and Evoke, and I discovered a whole bunch of tricks and possibilities along the way. Over on my Patreon, I have also released an accompanying set of 26 presets (13 for the Ambient, 13 for the Evoke): / sonicware-liven-166832092

Warning: I did experience a couple of freezes while experimenting with this setup. I don't think there's any risk beyond that, but I'm not 1000% sure about that, and a freeze in and of itself can be aggravating if you haven't saved your work, so please bear all that in mind. A couple more notes below, after the table of contents.

A big thank you to my Patreon super supporters, Maria and Tomasz, and all the other supporters of the channel who made this video possible. Like other videos I make, this video started to be released on my Patreon a little while ago, before being made public on here, so if you'd like early-access to future videos, please consider joining!"

I've been listening to a lot of Japanese ambient music artists lately, such as Hiroshi Yoshimura, Satoshi Ashikawa, Midori Takada, and many others. I wanted to try capturing some of that same spirit here: minimal by design, with room left for rests between notes for the listener to fill in.

Thanks for listening."

What is Vox Humana?

video upload by George B.

"As an organ technician, Vox Humana has always been an organ stop. A sound from the Reed family of organ sounds that imitated the human voice. So when a viewer of a video I made about string ensemble sound said it sounded like a Vox Humana, I didn't get the connection. After I asked him to send me some examples he did. Gary Numan Cars was one of those examples. Well, the lead sound at the beginning does sound like a string ensemble sound. So In this video I examine this sound and discuss it's origin."

"Oberheim Service Notes from 1980's in Oberheim 3 Ring Binder
These documents comprise an official Oberheim issued compilation of Authorized Service Notes.

These are NOT Oberheim Technical Service Manuals.

They are Engineering Change Orders (ECO's) which are mostly circuit updates.

Each ECO has been implemented over time to improve the performance of a particular Oberheim Model.

They have been grouped to include all the changes to a particular model.

The OB-Xa Bulletins for example are grouped into the 100 series; The Expander is the 600 Series.

One would still refer to the actual Oberheim Service Manuals to actually perform these updates.

View this binder as an Addendum to each of the Service Manual models on the list.

The Bulletins cover:

OB-Xa_____100-145

DSX_______201-217

DMX_______301-338

There are no OB-Sx Service Notes.

There may be a couple of Service Notes missing. Either they went missing or were never there.

I used to be an Authorized Oberheim Service Center, but Oberheim went out of business

I lost on that deal - due to Unreimbursed Warranty Claims.

How Recorded Sound Became an Instrument | Voltage Labs

video upload by Voltage Labs

"Sampling changed the way music could be made.

What began with tape loops and musique concrète evolved through machines like the Fairlight CMI, SP-1200, Akai S950, MPC and ASR-10: each introducing new limitations, new workflows and, eventually, entirely new musical languages.

From hip-hop and jungle to French house, microhouse and experimental electronics, producers learned to treat recorded sound not as something fixed, but as raw material.

This video traces how the sampler became an instrument and how chopping, pitching, looping, resampling and microsampling reshaped electronic music."

The power of Formant-Shifting

video upload by WPalmWT

"The term "Formant" originates from speech analysis.
Formants are the peak resonant frequencies of the vocal tract.
However, the formant-shifting technique used here also produces interesting effects with other sounds, as I demonstrate in this video."

Dawless Jam: Groovesizer Mynah x M-Vave FM-1

video upload by MoShang

"Here's a jam I recorded with the M-Vave FM-1 being driven by a Groovesizer Mynah sampler. The Mynah is playing drums and loops, and MIDI from the Mynah is triggering the arpeggios on the FM-1. I did this in one take, playing sustained lines over the arpeggios on the FM-1. I used the stock patches (020 SYN PAD 5 and 019 SYN LEAN 5). I couldn't find a good way to automate the patch changes, so I picked these adjacent patches and switched by hand."

"OK, this is one of the holy grails of vintage Synthesizer-Literature. In the 30 years of collecting synth-literature I only saw this catalog twice. There is another Oberheim Catalog from 1978 (8/4/2 Voice) which is much less rare. I guess this Oberheim catalog was only foreseen for dealers and universities. The price reflects it's rarity but I'm open to fair offers as always, the price will also be adapted as long it's not been sold, so keep watching this item if the price is too high for you now . I'm only shipping this with a tracking-option hence the higher shipping-costs,it would be an immense shame if this catalog gets lost in mailing traffic somewhere. This Oberheim catalog is for the real collector and could be your only chance in life to own this piece :)

For sale is an Oberheim 4/2-voice/SEM Catalog from 1975 (!)

This is your chance to own this original Oberheim Catalog which contains information and picture's of the 4/2 Voice and SEM Oberheim synthesizers. It also contains info and pics of the early Oberheim Products of the early 70's when Oberheim started as a company as there are the stand-alone Voltage Controlled Filter, Phasor and Digital and Mini Sequencer.

This is a must-have for any vintage synthesizer/Oberheim collector as these are getting very hard/impossible to find these days.

This catalog has no highlighting or underlining in it. This catalog has 1 stamp and 1 sticker on it. This original Oberheim catalog is in very good condition, see the picture's for more detail."

"Up for sale is my favorite Roland synth of the 70s era. It has all the raw tone of the System 100 with way more features and quite a stunning look. Check out the attached video of a quick demo of this actual SH5. It all works great and sounds great. Hard to find one fully functional and looking this good.. heck, hard to find at all. I found using this with ease and nothing that hindered use or performance. It always delivered what I needed in sessions. If I had to be REALLY picky.. it could use a spray of contact cleaner on a pot or two and on a rare occasion a key might double trigger (this era of roland synths is notorious for that) BUT as you can see and hear from the video, it's fine the way it is. I never found the need to detail it. Just stating for those that might be expecting MINT. Otherwise.. this is an amazing example of an SH5. Basses, leads, modulated madness.. it delivers."

It might work on your Alpha Juno-1 and MKS-50 as well, but it has not been tested.

Tweak every parameter on screen, pull single patches or whole banks off the synth, back them up as sysex files, or load sysex files from your computer and into the hardware.

It runs in a web browser (Chrome or Edge — not Firefox or Safari) with a MIDI interface connected to the synth. It works on PC and Mac, and under Linux.

It's my personal tool shared for anyone who wants it. Setup instructions come in a short readme with the file, but I offer no support on this. It's shared 'as is'."

PlantsSystem-KOSMOS-RGB #kosmosrgb #raspberrypi #pico #rgbkeypad

video upload by plantssystem

"KOSMOS is a minimalist generative music instrument that integrates KOSMOS2 (the core of the generation algorithm) and KOSMOS-RGB (visual feedback and control system).

Based on rotation, trajectory, and smooth transitions, the sound continuously changes autonomously.

The exposed electronic circuitry and RGB lighting visualize the generation process happening inside, functioning not as decoration, but as the 'language of the instrument.'

Responding instantly to touch, MIDI, and external synchronization,
small operations change the trajectory and alter the flow of sound,
and the same music never repeats even with the same settings.

KOSMOS is neither a synth nor a sequencer;
it's an instrument that exists as a small generative environment.

A universe just for you, fitting in the palm of your hand."

In The Air Tonight (CR-78 Circuit Tracks version)

video upload by Guinan

"Like many others around the world I watched the moody trailer for Rockstar's billion dollar GTA6 game yesterday.

As a result, I've had the iconic Roland CR-78 drum pattern stuck in my head all day.

(Just for fun) This was my way of clearing it out of my head (CR87 samples and Novation synthwave pack).....it just has to go downhill once the drum break comes in though ;) apologies drum fans....(cue rapid fade).....

The arrangement is a very loose representation of the original....

More details for synth nerds
BPM 98
Based on Novations free Synthware sound pack.
Added some CR78 samples, and a distorted guitar chord sample (triggered as a drum hit on Drum 4)
Everything you hear was played live off the Tracks. I was determined to not use ANY other synths so all the melody and pads are played on the same two intruments.

Full song is downloadable here,

Daft Punk / J-Dilla / MachineDrum Sounds, Inside a LinnDrum. Da funk

video upload by Program 17

"This is the exact drums Daft Punk sampled for Da Funk, J-Dilla Drums, and Elektron Sounds inside the Linn drum. I made the EPROMs using a Oberheim Prommer. It was not an easy task. But I took layered drums. Sampled them, turned them to binary, then program them for the Linn drum. I loved daft punk growing up. I’m from Detroit. I use to hang around J-Dilla at the time. I owned a Linn drum since I was a teenager. It was my dream to program sounds for a Linn drum. I spent thousands of hours programming a Linn drum and often times wondered how to make my Linn drum sound like daft punk. Well I did it. Inside of using a SP-1200, these are the sounds inside a Linn drum.

Kick and snare are the daft punk drums.
The hat is Machine drum.
Kicks from a machine drum are in the toms and congas.

The J Dilla claps and snares are the same exact method J Dilla would use on his Drums. After reading the book “dilla time” I was inspired to make the drums a little bit off. If you look at the actual original binary files of the Linn Drum on a spectral graph or analyze the way form, you will notice that the drums are not perfect. Prince always said you need air to make it an instrument so I gave the samples a little bit of room in the beginning so it kind of sounds off but it’s not off because you can program the timing with the pitch now exactly like a clap trap, which is ironic because that’s what I heard where the Drum clap originally came from.

ELEMENT Essentials: ELEMENT One Sound Design Tips - Experimental and Keys

video upload by Modal Electronics

"Unlock the sonic stratosphere. 🚀 In this deep-dive ELEMENT Essentials episode, we're dissecting the architecture of experimental keys and complex soundscapes.

While traditional synthesis relies on static waveforms, experimental sound design thrives on movement, dissonance, and unpredictability. We'll show you how to harness ELEMENT's advanced modulation matrix, oscillator algorithms, and signal routing to craft sounds that evolve with every note you play.

From FM-derived bell tones that dissolve into noise, to lush, cinematic pads that shift their harmonic content over minutes—this tutorial is for producers who want to push synthesis beyond the ordinary."

via this Reverb listing

"The Studio Electronics Obie Rack is a rare, custom 19-inch rackmount unit containing two vintage Oberheim SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) units combined with a custom MIDI interface by Studio Electronics.

Key Features

Core Sound: Houses two original 1978 Oberheim SEM analog synth modules for classic, warm analog tones.

MIDI Integration: Upgraded by Studio Electronics with MIDI control (including velocity/dynamics, modulation, and aftertouch).

Front Panel Controls: Includes adjustments for octave range, multi-trigger, MIDI channel, pitch bend, LFO, glide, and volume.

Rear Panel Connections: Features MIDI In/Out/Thru, standard unbalanced mono audio outputs, and an IEC power socket.

Rarity: Estimated at roughly 100 units ever built/modified by Studio Electronics."

Interesting Update via Ersatzplanet in the comments: "Most people don't know but those Obie front panels are also custom made for this unit. Two standard SEMs won't fit side by side in a standard 19" rack. The PCBs will, but the panels are too wide."

The best groovebox he's ever played | Akai MPC Key 37 G2 live performance

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer performance using only the MPC Key 37 G2.

To be clear: I bought this synth with my own money, thanks to the support of my Patreon community. So while I recognize that the following praise seems effusive, it's the truth.

I got into hardware through grooveboxes. I started with the Novation Circuit and got more complex from there. The groovebox—sequencer, multiple timbres of synth, drums, samples, and effects—is my happy place. And while many devices have been good, I've never found "the one", that one groovebox that does everything you want it to do. Until now, maybe.

I've played with MPCs quite a bit over the last few years, but this newest generation, and this model in particular, is the one. It's a combination of things: a mature platform with fast loading and workflow; every conceivable sound type I want, from synths to samples to piano; a robust collection of effects, with great reverbs, delays, and ways to mess up a sound; more tracks than I'll ever need for a song; a sequencer without the limitations of 64 or 128 steps; clip launching; simple audio recording in; auto-sampling to capture your own sounds; MIDI in and out via 5-pin DIN and USB; MIDI learn with peripheral MIDI controllers that works flawlessly; USB multi-track audio recording that just works without a hitch; so much more.

SILURIA ⌁ MODAL w/ RADIO ⌁ FW_1.2 /// Dark Ambient soundscape

video upload by Somnambule

"Hi folks!

SILURIA — Modal Patch /// Dark Ambient Soundscape

A dark and atmospheric soundscape created entirely with the #siluria @gechologic , using the Modal Patch from Firmware 1.2.

The Modal engine is inspired by the Mutable Instruments Rings module. It works as a resonator: incoming sounds excite a bank of tuned resonant filters, creating the characteristic ringing, metallic and organic tones of struck objects.

For this session, I took the patch one step further by using the internal FM radio of the Siluria as an additional excitation source. The radio signal is fed directly into the Modal engine, where it is reshaped and revoiced according to the notes and modes being played.

The result is a slowly evolving and mysterious Dark Ambient Soundscape, where fragments of the radio become part of the instrument itself.

🎛️ Instrument: PhonicBloom Siluria
🌀 Patch: Modal — Firmware 1.2
📻 Internal FM Radio: used as excitation source
🌑 Style: Dark Ambient / Experimental / Soundscape

Recorded live in one take — no external effects or post-production.

Blind Sample Challenge: 4 Random Samples on the Torso S-4 (Vol. 41)

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Welcome to Vol. 41 of my Torso S-4 explorations! In this video, I take on a blind 4-sample challenge: building a complete 4-track ambient soundscape from scratch using four randomly picked samples from the Bastl MicroGranny library. Because the files use non-descriptive, sequential labels, I had no idea what sounds I was getting until they hit the tracks.

With zero planning and no preparation, every decision is made on the spot. I work through each track sequentially, sculpting textures, grains, and filters to weave unrelated sounds into a cohesive sonic environment. Toward the end, I break down how to set up and perform with Macro modulations to bring dynamic motion across the entire patch.

The video is heavily annotated with on-screen notes detailing each step of the sound design workflow, modulation routing, and granular processing.
