Long Slow Pulsating Gliss


video upload by Todd Barton

"Long Slow Gnarly Pulsating Glissando. This gliss take 4 minute to complete its upward journey. This is accomplished by sending 5v from the Offset of a 256 to the Attack CV input on a 281 Function Generator. This experiment was: send the same CV from the 281 to pitch of both oscillators of a 259 and also to Timber of the Principal and also to Mod Index. The dry signal is going to one channel of the 207 a copy of that is going to a 277r delay with some feedback then onto another channel of the 207. Enjoy!

The Age Of Eurorack: An Interview With Dieter Doepfer



"Few people have shaped the contemporary landscape of electronic musical instruments as profoundly as Dieter Doepfer, the German engineer whose A-100 system effectively established the Eurorack format in the mid-1990s and helped bring modular synthesis into widespread use. Maintaining his passion for music throughout his physics studies, Dieter’s path led him from repairing band equipment and building DIY effects to becoming a household name for anyone immersed in analog synthesis over the last three decades. To his own continued surprise, he helped lay the foundation for a community-driven ecosystem that now spans thousands of modules and hundreds of manufacturers worldwide."

CONCRETE [ EARLY DEMO ]


video upload by Sasha DZA

"PRE-ORDER OPEN FOR CONCRETE: https://www.lightreft.jp/product-page...
AVAILABLE AT A SPECIAL EARLY PRICE

In this video, we share the first real world tests of Concrete, without aiming for a polished or final demonstration.

We explore how the device works as the final stage in the signal chain, as a master effect, and within a mix on an individual instrument. Throughout the video, moments where bypass is engaged are clearly marked, so it’s easy to hear exactly when Concrete is affecting the signal.

Special attention is given to saturation. We’re exploring how different drive modes interact with dynamics, not as an obvious effect, but as an integral part of the signal path.

We also demonstrate sync mode and stereo operation. The filter reveals a particularly interesting character in stereo, where the interaction between channels adds depth, movement, and a sense of space that is difficult to achieve in mono.

Preorders for Concrete are now open on our website at a reduced price for the first drop. The price will increase for future batches.

https://www.lightreft.jp/"



"Concrete is a next generation compact effects processor that combines digital sound engines with a true analog filter. Each channel features its own analog high pass and low pass filters, designed for precise and musical sound shaping.

Several drive types come preloaded, while additional engines can be downloaded from our website and loaded into free slots, allowing users to build a truly personal sound.
Channels can be used independently or linked together for cohesive stereo processing.

Concrete supports full MIDI control and naturally pairs with Monolit as part of a unified studio and performance ecosystem.

During the preorder phase, Concrete is available at a reduced price for those who want to support the project from the start.
The price will increase at release.

The first Concrete drop is planned for the first half of 2026."

Triple-Meter Synth Leads and Piano Layers | New Moon 2026-01-07 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CBX-K1XG, and CP-88. It is a composition where a waltz-like triple-meter beat supports layered synth leads and piano performance.

The Prophet-10 is processed through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, applying reverb and filtering.
Its distorted synth lead sound is played in unison with the CBX-K1XG.

On the CBX-K1XG, a choir timbre is used, further enhanced with additional synth-lead character via ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND.

The CP-88 is used to perform the piano parts.
Other elements, including harmonies and rhythmic components, are constructed within the DAW."

Vintage Sequential Prophet 10 Rev3 61-Key Dual Keyboard Analog Synthesizer SN 0407

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this Reverb listing

"Vintage Sequential Circuits Prophet-10 (Double Manual) synthesizer with MIDI in excellent working condition. Legendary dual-manual analog polysynth featuring two independent 5-voice Prophet engines for layered, split, or stacked sounds. Delivers the classic Prophet tone with rich VCOs, resonant filters, snappy envelopes, and hands-on control.

Both keybeds have been professionally restored: bushings replaced and lubricated, contact bars cleaned, J-wires realigned, and keys fully cleaned. Fully tested—both manuals play evenly and respond correctly. On the top left corner there is residue left over from an adhesive Velcro strip that can easily be removed, and the prophet logo on the front panel was touched up by someone. These can be seen in the photos. Some other light cosmetic wear but nothing serious."

via this Reverb listing

"Latronic Notron MK II (blue) — the iconic, hands-on MIDI step sequencer used by Björk, Peter Gabriel, FSOL, The Orb, and others.

This is the later MK II blue version, produced in very limited numbers (well under 200 units total). Fully working, studio-kept, and tested.

If you know what a Notron is, you already know why it’s special:
real-time, performance-driven sequencing with zero screens, zero menus, and immediate tactile control.

Important / Value Add:
This unit includes TWO spare, pre-flashed processor ICs at no extra cost.

Early Notrons are known to have a rare failure mode where static discharge or power-supply issues can damage the main processor. My unit was shipped back to England to have the main board swapped out in order to prevent this from happening.

Because I took that precaution, I never ran into any CPU problems in nearly 30 years of ownership, but about 10 years ago I acquired several original, pre-flashed replacement CPUs specifically as long-term insurance.

Two are included free with the sale.

I also have three additional spare processors available separately for $75 each if the buyer wants extra peace of mind.

Condition:
– Fully functional
– All LEDs, switches, wheels, and MIDI functions working
– Non-smoking studio environment

One small area of paint has been rubbed off on upper right side where the unit moved against my rack (pictures included)
There are three wide strips of hook-side Velcro on the back. I added these about 15 years ago for live use — it allows the Notron to be held securely at almost any angle (on a stand, case, or surface), which I found extremely practical. (Seriously, this stuff is awesome - I could basically hang the Notron upside down. Highly useful for keeping it on a sketchy stand when in active use.)
The Velcro can be removed cleanly without residue if the buyer prefers, or I’m happy to leave it. (I'd recommend leaving it unless you know you're not going to want it.)

Features at a glance:
– 4-row / 16-step interactive MIDI sequencer
– Per-step velocity grouping, note length, echo, overdrive
– Event-based modulation (pitch, CCs, transposition - this is an incredibly powerful feature and lets you make synths sound completely different than any other device out there)
– Beatwrap & Beatcreep timing tools
– Chord memory, chaining, rebound, Supersteps
– Sends & receives MIDI clock, Start/Stop

Includes power supply. Ships safely packed and insured.

This is one of the most expressive MIDI sequencers ever made — and this example comes with rare, practical long-term protection that almost never accompanies these units."

UDO Super 6 // DAY 6 #jamuary2026


video upload by Dexba

"Washing my brain today without any beat, with a single instrument, on the floor: throwback to the OG Dexba 😄 The Super 6 by UDO is so effortlessly cool.
I am not strictly talking about the sound it produces, but the whole experience: tactile, visual, and auditory. JAMuary is still at the beginning, so I didn't get too crazy with the patch, and I also wanted some relax and pure sound/chord enjoyment.
This recording made me make peace with my OB-6 sale; we should never sell anything, some sales hurt more than others, and until this session, the OB6 was one of those hurting the most. Not anymore!
Yes, playing in this position is not ideal, and you'll inevitably hear the spot where something slipped, but it helps me so much reconnect with the pure joy of playing, outside of the room I've appointed studio.
I hope you'll like it! 🧡"

Exploring Xenodrive FX unit #techno


video upload by Yan Cook

"Exploring the Xenodrive FX unit from ‪@EricaSynths‬
This box is a beast for adding analog warmth and grit to your tracks.

What I loved:
Overdrive & EQ: Superb tone and very intuitive. I’m really impressed with the character of the overdrive, and the EQ is incredibly useful for sculpting the tone.
Extras: Having the compressor and noise gate built-in makes it a really versatile tool for any signal chain.

The Challenge:
Waveshaper: It’s very destructive! Works well on basic waveforms, but I’m still looking for the best way to utilize it on more complex patches.

KIVIAK WoFi - "Fierceful Sequential Machines"


video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"Hi! The team from KIVIAK Instruments sent me the WoFi right before the Christmas.
And since then, there hasn't been a day that I haven't played the WoFi!

I’m not mastering it at it’s very best, yet! - but this sampler has a HUGE POTENTIAL!

From the very first day I sampled my voice, my kids' singing, my synths, ambiental noises and anything you can think of!

Diving into the samples with the Waveform Viewer, using the Touch Stripe or the Texturer’s buttons, to create new interesting sounds and modulate them with the LFO, to obtain either an industrial, harsh sounds or a sound with vintage lo-fi vibe.

Here’s a sample from my Sequential PRO 3, using it to create a Berlin School sequence on my own style with a vintage vibe, and playing over it - by using the SOLO function - a plucky/organ lead, both the sequence and the lead using the same sample.

I’m passing through the sampling MACHINES and the Playback Modes and tweaking some functions.

I added some delay and reverb, and during the playing (made in post processing) I’m bypassing them for a raw sound."
