Recreating String Ensemble sound with Poly Synth


video upload by George B.

"Today I used my OBX8 to recreate the ARP string Ensemble sound. By breaking down how the String Ensemble worked internally, I used what I learned to simulate the ensemble effect. Also I have a three channel ensemble board from an 80's organ that I built into an effects box. So I could compare my settings. Hope you like it!

Novation Bass Station II (Bass Station 2) - Synth Jam by Damiano Della Torre


video upload by Mr Keys

"I had some fun experimenting with a few arpeggios recorded live on the Novation Bass Station II, and just to give myself some groove I used programmed rhythms from Logic Pro for iPad. Everything was easily synced via MIDI/USB.

A real blast! Long live music and see you soon.

CRUMAR CORDATRON (1974) Castelfidardo

This is an accordion string machine with organ section, a brass synth section with filter controls, trigger-able analog drum sounds and chord and piano presets on a Stradella button board.
Crumar made a few different models of this type of instrument but this is the very first.
Unicorn rarity is the order of the day regarding the control key- and button board - the serial number 3 of allegedly 10 units ever put in production.

Crumar had just started producing keyboards after mainly producing accordions, and around this time they launched the three COMPAC models that definitely inspired the sections of the Cordatron: Compac Strings, Compac Brass and Compac Piano.

Most of the CRUMAR CORDATRON specifications are in the video as text already so please watch the video and read the text - but a quick roundup would look like this :

The instrument consists of mainly two separate units connected by a huge, hardwired 3-piece connector : the main sound generator unit with power supply, audio outputs, tuning and volume pedal, as well as the control unit - basically a butterflied accordion with a Stradella button board for the left hand and a regular keyboard for the right hand.

All the sounds are analog and are generated by the very first generation of divide down technology - no eproms or other intruders of vulgar modernity is on hand.
The sound generator weighs 23 kilos and is literally crammed with sandwiched layers of massive circuit boards of transistors and capacitors.

24 Songs/Presets for the Sonicware Liven Evoke


video upload by Sonic Cartography

"A collection of 24 songs/presets for the Sonicware Liven Evoke. The patterns can be downloaded from my Patreon ( / 24-new-songs-147901371 , where you'll also find some notes on some of the songs.

A lot of my music feels to me like a soundtrack to an imaginary movie, so for the visuals for this one, I figured "hey, the music set is about an hour—so why not just pair it with a movie?" And since (a) I don't want to get in trouble for copyright infringement and (b) I have a preoccupation with "past futures" (a sense of nostalgia for the future that was once imagined by the past and that no longer seems possible), this led me to look for public domain Cold War era films, which led me to this one: Battle Beyond the Sun (1962), an Americanized version of Nebo Zovyot (1959), a Soviet science fiction. The person tasked with Americanizing it was a young film student named Francis Ford Coppola.

A big thank you to all my Patreon supporters—especially those who are supporting my channel at the super supporter level: Tomasz and Maria.

Dub Techno with Elektron Tonverk (Music and track walkthrough)


video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"This is my first Dub Techno track with the Elektron Tonverk. All sounds, samples and effects are from the machine. After I play through the track I explain how I created the different elements of the pattern and tell you what I think about the Tonverk.

I bought this instrument from my own money, this video is not sponsored by Elektron.

All music was created by a (cat assisted) human. No AI tools were involved in the production of the music and artwork.

Fasttracker II (FT2) Plugin

"Fasttracker II as a VST3/AU/LV2 plugin. Download at https://github.com/juho/ft2-plugin"

He had the following to say:

"I’ve been working on a VST3/AU/LV2 plugin port of the standalone Fasttracker II (from 1996) originally made by Triton Productions and now maintained by 8bitbubsy. It’s free and available for MacOS (both modern and 10.14+ (Mojave)), Windows and Linux. It is a complete rewrite of bubsy’s version, but is still a fork of his work."

Here's a tutorial series from Ocean View of the stand alone version from 8 years ago:

"It has the CEM3328 filters, sounding great.

I have installed the Tauntek firmware, allowing realtime MIDI control, especially great with the included Stereoping Controller.

The Stereoping Controller has an overlay of the G8-P edition glued and the bit 01 overlay is only thrown above, which works top notch as is and makes it even easier to dust clean (I have some other editions overlays I may include for free if interested)."

"Incredible modified 909. This is the most unique 909 of the 3 I've owned. As you can see in the pic it has Tune Depth, Pitch and Drive for the Kick Drum as well as Hi Hat Tune. The range of what you can do with the Kick is almost unlimited, everything from super tight tuned variation to match the key of your track to absolutely depraved, distorted low end boom. The Hi Hat tune is just that, and between both of these mods they solve the main limitations of the 909."

Jamuary 11-01-26 - 2x CPM DS-2/DF-8/SQ-1 Minimal Techno


video upload by ChrisLody

"Hello, remember me? I'm still here 😄

I found time for a quick Jamuary jam today with two Stylophone CPM DS-2s and DF-8s. I make a bit of content for them so I've had these a while and I've been meaning to upload something using them. They're producing all the sound here including the percussion and the effects. The two Korg SQ-1 are both running in 2x 8 step mode for 4 full channels of sequencing. It's a bit restrictive with the SQ-1 but still fun!

I have an mmMidi module in my eurorack that has two CV and Gate outputs and is also expandable with an extra module to add drum style gates on a third midi channel. that would be an excellent way to sequence this with something like a Lofi-12 XT, but I don't have the expander yet, it's on the list 😅"

#JAMUARY2026: OUTGROWTH + MUSIKRAKEN HAND-TRACKING


video upload by Perplex On

"Love what @aqeelaadamsound and @blankfor.ms crafted with their awesome #outgrowth app ❤️❤️❤️ Here i‘m using it as a granular instrument hosted in #musikraken to use camera-tracked hand gestures to move through various waveforms. Left-right movement is mapped to sample/playback start while hand openness is mapped to grain window size. Going out of frame and back in triggers a new waveform using Outgrowth‘s round-robin playback feature. So much fun and yet so much more to explore there…"



Outgrowth is a sample-based instrument built collaboratively by Aqeel Aadam Sound and BlankFor.ms. Designed with creativity, flexibility, and performance in mind, Outgrowth provides unique, multifaceted ways to reimagine audio with your mouse or keyboard.

Outgrowth features five unique engines for processing samples:

Stem: A basic one-shot style player that repitches the sample
Retain: A granular stretching engine that sustains the sample indefinitely
Reflect: A looping algorithm that loops the sample at a consistent rate across all pitches
Radiate: An additive resynthesizer that maps each harmonic of the sample to a sine wave oscillator
Delve: A wavetable synthesizer in which the sample becomes the basis for a completely unique wavetable

Outgrowth also features five standout audio effects for shaping your sounds further:

Subvert: A unique shaper that flattens or inverts the sample’s volume
Submerge: A singular effect for adding dimensional realism to sample repitching
Strike: A dynamic control for adding an acoustic-like response to sample playback and performance
Ripple: A one-knob tape emulation handcrafted by BlankFor.ms that can be subtle, deconstructive, and anywhere in between
Smear: A pre-ADSR reverb for congealing notes and blurring boundaries between pitch and texture

And further still, Outgrowth offers a robust modulation matrix for generative or performative control over all parameters. Control every single parameter within Outgrowth via LFOs, unique random sources, velocity, note pitch, aftertouch, MPE control, and more.

Finally, Outgrowth offers a robust preset system, including more than 50 bespoke presets and over 100 samples by BlankFor.ms. Explore ethereal ambient pads, haunted lofi keys, shimmering tape-infused plucks, gnarled percussive textures, and more."

TipTop Buchla 200t
