The Origins of the Krell Ambient Generative Synthesizer Patch // Todd Barton at Buchla & Friends


video upload by DivKid

"Join us at Buchla & Friends with the wonderful person that is TODD BARTON! Inspired by the work of Bebe and Louis Barron on the soundtrack to the 1950s film Forbidden Planet, Todd Barton created the classic Krell patch. A generative, ambient patch for modular synthesizers where random voltages influence (at it's most basic) the time, pitch and shape of your notes. We discuss the origins of Krell, the basics of the patch and how to expand it.

The 2026 Buchla & Friends event is happening January 24th-25th, be there, it'll be ace. Info below."

Skibidi Techno (PO-33 KO! + Korg Monotron)


video upload by Pocket Trax

"Skibidi Toilet... but it's techno.

So last month I bought the original Korg Monotron second-hand, mostly as a collector’s piece. When I decided to plugged and pair it with the PO-33. I realized this little beast is no joke. The filter and LFO are absolutely wild: raw, dirty, and full of character. I felt that I really had to make a song with this combo. So here it is, a song inspired with one of the most bizarre memes ever: Skibidi Toilet... but it's techno.

1/17/26 (Comparison 3) Metasonix R-54 + Zerosum Inertia ZI54 + CXM 1978


video upload by Cfpp0

"This is the third comparison video I’ve made so far with the Metasonix R-54 and the Zerosum Inertia ZI54, by playing them simultaneously. For the first three minutes, I’m just turning the drive knobs on the modules to hear the differences, how it affects the timbre and even the pitch. After 3:00, I start messing with the resonance knobs. In this video, the ZI54 drive knob is much more aggressive, particularly when fully clockwise. The R-54 is panned a bit left on the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer and the ZI54 is panned a bit right. Both have some stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978."

ASM LEVIASYNTH Review // Keyboard vs Desktop vs Hydrasynth

video upload by loopop

Details:


From the darkest recesses of the unexplored oceans comes ASM's most powerful creation yet—a hybrid algorithmic synthesizer with sixteen-voice polyphony, eight oscillators per-voice, and a truly absurd amount of sound design potential. There are over 300 waveforms available for each voice's eight oscillator slots, giving you access to a bonafide sandbox of sonic alchemy. Each voice's oscillators can be arranged and rearranged for versatile modulation schemes using the many available algorithms. This open-ended method of crafting timbres gives you nearly-unlimited possibilities for sculpting sounds ranging from familiar tones to completely alien timbres. In addition to the ability to create your own algorithm, the Leviasynth also comes with 144 preset algorithms for quick sparks of inspiration, and the ability to morph between these oscillators non-linearly.

The oscillators can be modulated in a multitude of ways to create even more timbral variation: Frequency Modulation, Phase Modulation, Pulse Width Modulation, HTE Sync, and Phase Distortion can all be applied to Leviasynth's oscillators for nearly-endless sound design potential. These, along with nearly every other parameter, can be affected using the internal 32-slot modulation matrix. Each of the eight oscillators includes its own volume envelope, along with five additional shared envelopes and five LFOs per-voice for creating a moving sonic texture within the canvas of the expansive modulation matrix.

The Leviasynth is one of ASM's most expressive synthesizers to date, offering a 61-key keybed with full polyphonic aftertouch, MPE compatibility, and a four-octave ribbon controller for even deeper playability. Record and playback more than just audio with the internal three-track sequencer, allowing you to record note, arpeggio, and macro automation data. Control a plethora of parameters across the synth with the eight individual macro controls, which provide a deep level of expressivity given the broad timbral potential of Leviasynth's multi-algorithm design. Expand this expressiveness into your Eurorack systems with the 3.5mm CV I/O, providing two assignable Mod inputs, as well as outputs for Pitch, Gate, Clock, and two assignable Mod outputs.

Leviasynth offers both analog and digital filters for sculpting multi-layered timbres. On the analog side, you get a buttery-smooth four-pole low pass, which provides the foundation for beautiful, intimate sounding patches. On the digital-end of the spectrum there is a complex, Hydrasynth-style multimode filter with eighteen different filter types. All of these filters can self-oscillate at high resonance settings, along with pre-drive saturation for helping your patches cut through any mix. The effects section offers two independent methods for applying that extra layer of polish to your sound. In the master effects, you can shape and transform your final sound with Delay, Reverb, Distortion, Rotary, Phaser, Chorus, Compression, EQ and more. The second method provides dedicated insert effects, which offer five flavors of Delay and four Reverbs for giving your sounds that ever-important sense of space. This two-layered approach to effects gives the Leviasynth a sound all its own, and when used in tandem with the aforementioned suite of timbral shaping engines, your imagination is the only limit. Like the vast unexplored waters of the deepest oceans, the ASM Leviasynth holds an immense amount of undiscovered potential underneath its dormant surface.

"a little trip with the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR.

A few days ago, it snowed.
A good opportunity to try something calmer and more relaxing...

All the sounds are produced by the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR only.
(yes, of course, with delay and reverb...)
And all sequences are generated with the RITOURNELLE module familly.
Absolutly nothing more.

Enjoy :)"

"Roland Juno-60 in near mint condition. This iconic 1980s analog polysynth is known for its lush, warm pads, punchy basses, and the legendary built-in chorus that has defined countless classic tracks.

I purchased this directly from the original owner who bought it brand new. There are barely any scratches on the whole synth just some very light scratches and a small mark on one wood side panel. This is by far the cleanest Juno-60 I’ve seen on Reverb in the past year.

Condition:

Cosmetic: Excellent overall; minimal wear with a tiny mark on one wood side panel.
Functional: Fully functional—all keys, sliders, switches, patch memory, and chorus work perfectly.
Maintenance: Recently cleaned and serviced; ready to play or record.
Features:
61 keys, 6-voice polyphony
Classic Roland analog VCOs and VCFs
Signature built-in chorus effect
Patch memory for 56 presets

This Juno-60 is an exceptionally clean example, perfect for collectors, performers, or studio use. Don’t miss your chance to own one of the most beloved analog synths of all time!"

RSF Kobol with Vesta Kozo DIG-420 - part 1/2 #rsfkobol #vestakozodig420 #polyendtracker


video upload by analogia pl

"RSF Kobol with Vesta Kozo DIG-420 (plus some Roland PH-830 and H3000).

Polyend Tracker plays a sequence on the Kobol via CV/gate. Gate on another channel triggers delays in Vesta and yet another channel with gate sequentially switches between presets in Kobol. Sound complex but is quite simple."

PATCH / INDUSTRIAL AMBIENT / full Joranalogue system


video upload by Joranalogue Audio Design

"In this patch I explored a more industrial ambient side of the Joranalogue Audio Design system. The highlight for me are the stereo pings made with dual COLLIDE 4 modules. The battery of CONTOUR 1 modules is essential here for creating interesting time relations between all the events in the patch. No external modules were used.

We started with 2 CONTOUR 1s chained together (FALL OUT to TRIG in) in a dual looping envelope patch. This way we created a tempo and a few modulation sources for 2 GENERATE 3s being crossmodulated.

The first sounds we hear in the jam are made in a similar fashion: a few interpatched CONTOUR 1 modules create gates that open and close very high pitched oscillators (G3 and OR3) for the beeps and noises.

The pitches for the melodies of the 2 pinged COLLIDE 4s are set by two STEP 8s. The highlight of this patch—for me personally—was the idea to use WALK 4 to select the stages of both STEP 8s. This way we were walking through the stages of both STEP 8s in a brownian way (not entirely random, not entirely linear).

Everything, apart from the kicksound, was mixed in stereo, using 2 x MIX 3 patched through to MORPH 4 from which we extracted the A+B and C+D outputs as a stereo pair.

"Hello, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing VAVRA, a FREE software emulation of the Waldorf Micro Q by "The Usual Suspects", which brings back to life this iconic synthesizer!

'The Usual Suspects' is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the DSP chip from original historic hardware synthesizers, which, in this case, is the Motorola DSP56300.

As is usual with The Usual Suspects releases, you’ll need to provide the original ROM, legally acquired, of course.

The architecture, signal flow, and character closely follow the original hardware, making this an absolutely faithful Waldorf Micro Q recreation in software form.

More info here:
https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/vavra/

In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning plugin simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful sounds."

Figuring out the circuitry of old DIY drum synth


video upload by organfairy

"I play it manually at 3:23 and run it with a step sequencer at 4:17.

This is another un-documented one from the vaults - one that I, for some inexplicable reason, have not made any written information about.
So in this video I go through it and find out how it is made.

The music is 'No Hollywood movie', originally recorded by Lesley Hamilton, that was a hit in Germany in 1978. Same year it was recorded in Danish by Gitte Hænning as 'Hollywood drømme' and in German as 'Von Hollywwod Träumen'. I play it on my Yamaha HE-8 organ with Korg Rhythm 55 drum machine - but I probably didn't do a very good job since YT couldn't recognise it..."

Simple Synth-Pop Crossover Session | Nobi 2026-01-19 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using ‪@KORG_INC‬ microKORG S, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP- field, and NTS-1, forming a simple synth-pop crossover track.

On the microKORG S, melodies are performed while switching between different patches. The output is processed with reverb via ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

The rhythm is handled by the OP-1 field, while the bass is played by the ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-1. Both are triggered via MIDI sent from Ableton Live.

Although it does not appear in the video, the Nord Lead is used to play harmonic parts, with reverb applied through ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus."
