Oberheim Xpander first encounter

video upload by MIDERA

"It is not my best work... but I wanted to put something up. Today, I traded some gear and ended up with an Xpander. It's pretty crazy what it can do. However, I'm not particularly enjoying editing from a distance, since the 'desktop' nature of the Xpander is such that it can't actually sit on any of my synths. It's literally bigger than my OB-6.

But it's got a very unique sound. Hopefully after I take some time I can really dig into the parameters of the instrument (and find a better way to edit it while playing).

How Vince Clarke Made “Don’t Go” | Yazoo Synthpop Breakdown

video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"What makes 'Don’t Go' by Yazoo one of the most iconic synthpop tracks of the 1980s?

In this video, I explore how Vince Clarke shaped the sound of early electronic music through his work with Yazoo, and how his minimalist but powerful approach to synthesizers helped define an entire genre. After leaving Depeche Mode, Clarke refined his production style — focusing on strong melodies, tight sequencing, and bold synth sounds — and “Don’t Go” is one of the best examples of that evolution.

Before diving into the recreation, I share a bit of context around Yazoo and why this track became so influential across synthpop and electronic music.

Then I take you into the studio.

Step by step, I recreate the track using a combination of vintage hardware and modern tools inside Logic Pro. For this version I used:

• Sequential Circuits Pro-One – basslines and lead elements
• Sequential Drumtraks – drum programming
• Logic Pro VST instruments – additional textures and supporting sounds

I walk through the recording process, sequencing, arrangement, and showing how each layer comes together to recreate the energy of the original track.

It is interesting to understand how Vince Clarke’s production approach continues to influence modern electronic music, from synthpop to contemporary electronic genres."

Playing Without a Map / Cyma Forma ALT

video upload by OoraMusic

"A performance and reflection on what it means to truly play.
In a world of presets, screens, and precision, this is an exploration of something more fragile — and more human.
Using the Cyma Forma ALT, a 5-voice analog instrument designed for improvisation, I move between structure and freedom, control and surrender.
This is not about building a track.
It’s about being present while sound unfolds.
Improvisation becomes a practice —
of listening, reacting, and letting go of the need to know where you’re going.
No presets. No fixed outcomes.
Just gesture, attention, and the moment."

Van Halen Jump Oberheim OB-X8 Synth Cover

video upload by narfsounds

"This is my take on Jump using the OB-X8.

It’s the first song I ever played with a band back in high school, so getting this sound right has always mattered to me. The OB-X8 gets you very close straight away, but the details are what make it sit like the record.

During the guitar solo section I brought in portamento to match that glide you hear in the original, then switched it off for the keys solo so it snaps back to that tight, punchy feel.

That balance between accuracy and playability is exactly how I approach all my sound packs. They’re built to work in a real band setting, not just in isolation.

If you’re playing covers regularly, having these sounds ready to go changes everything.

ALM Introduces QUAID GIGASLOPE - Quad Multimode Modulator

video upload by ALM TV

Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 0:59 - Envelope Mode 2:16 - Slope Range & Trigger Inputs 3:33 - Loop Mode 4:52 - Step Mode 6:04 - Quantiser 7:00 - EOS/EOC 7:36 - Assigning CV - Reset 8:32 - Assigning CV - Parameters 10:27 - End Jam 11:21 - Outro

The QUAID GIGASLOPE is a four-channel multi-mode modulator, with each channel outputting a variable staged slope that can act as a complex envelope, flexible LFO, or step sequence.

Each slope can contain up to 13 stages, which may be independent or overlap with other stages. Slopes can be triggered or run freely, with both manual and CV control over each stage’s level, duration, and curve. The output range of each slope can be set and optionally quantised to musical scales. Trigger outputs are available at the end of each stage and at the completion of a slope.

The QUAID GIGASLOPE builds on our earlier Megaslope module, expanding the idea of a hands-on, menu-free, jam-friendly complex modulator. With four channels, it easily covers standard envelope duties, quantised sequencing, and LFO tasks, while its design also encourages more experimental use through overlapping slopes, self-modulation and cross-channel interaction, leading to more distinctive, unexpected, and improvised results.

Feature List

Quad multimode modulator with complex Envelope, LFO and Step Sequencer modes.

13 modulation stages shared or split between slopes.

Per stage dedicated Level, Time and Curve controls.

Per slope Quantiser with 19 different scales.

Selectable output ranges of ±5V, 0-5V or 0-2.5V.

Assignable ‘EOC’ (End of Cycle) or ‘EOS’ (End of Stage) trigger outputs.

4 freely assignable CV inputs.

AXON CV expander support for 4 additional CV inputs.

Fun, performance oriented interface, well suited for happy accidents.

All states preserved accross power cycles.

USB-C for quick and easy ‘drag and drop’ firmware updates

Skiff friendly with reverse power protection.

2 Year Warranty.

The FMco is a compact FM synthesis based VCO and voice. It features our own original 2-operator FM synthesis DSP implementation inspired by our ‘Akemie’ modules but tuned for more immediate use and a more modern sound.

It includes both manual and voltage control over FM Index, Ratio and a selection of classic operator waveforms for a wide palette of FM sounds from a simple set of controls. A built-in decay envelope is routed to both FM depth and output level, allowing the FMco to function as a full synth voice when triggered. The FMco also includes CV-controlled four-voice chords, an encoder-based tuning system for easy accurate pitch control, and a stereo-widened output, delivering a large amount of FM synthesis all in just 8HP.

Feature List

2 Operator FM synthesizer voice with direct and voltage controlled parameters.

Easy, quick and accurate tuning via an encoder control.

FM Index offset with direct and CV control with attenuverter.

8 Operator wave shapes with direct and CV control with attenuator.

Ratio control with lock switch for both free and precise operator ratios.

06:01 - Patch 4 / Raw beat, with Feedback bass
07:55 - Patch 5 / Jam together with DIY Synth System"

KONSTRUKT-8 is an expressive live performance instrument and sound design tool – plus a hands-on deep dive into electronic circuit design. Each of its eight DIY modules comes with a detailed build guide and can be explored on a breadboard first, letting you trace every circuit design decision before assembling the final instrument.

KONSTRUKT-8 includes four fully analog drum voices:

• Kick Drum. A resonant bridged-T network produces deep, punchy kicks.

• Snare Drum. A burst of filtered transistor noise layered over a tuned resonator creates a crisp snap.

• Hi-Hat. Six dissonant square-wave oscillators are mixed, filtered, and overdriven to create metallic percussion.

• FM Drum. Two interacting oscillators form a versatile percussion voice capable of kicks, toms, bells, and cymbal-like sounds.

A four-channel drum sequencer lets you tap in rhythms that loop automatically. Under the hood, shift registers store the pattern as a circular sequence of binary data.

All voices feed into a four-channel mixer with per-channel FX sends and a master insert, allowing you to shape the entire beat with external effects or the built-in distortion and compressor.

Two effects modules complete the system: an analog bucket-brigade delay (BBD) with flanger and delay modes, plus a diode-based compressor with sidechain capability.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Both versions ship with:

• EDU DIY Kick Drum kit

• EDU DIY Snare Drum kit

• EDU DIY Hi-Hat kit

• EDU DIY FM Drum kit

• EDU DIY Drum Sequencer kit

• EDU DIY Output Mixer 2 kit

• EDU DIY BBD kit

• EDU DIY Compressor kit

• 8 downloadable build guides

The system version also includes:

• Eurorack enclosure with integrated power supply

• 15 braided patch cables (5× 20cm, 5× 30cm, 5× 60cm)

"Mesmeric Trance" - Moog Sound Studio & Novation Summit trippy jam

video upload by No Lake

"I remember a night in a club in Brussels. It must have been 4 a.m., I was starting to get tired, about to leave. Then a song started, something very languorous, trippy, and intoxicating. The song invaded my body and soul. It was very repetitive but at the same time very special, airy, ethereal. I stayed there, lulled by the music, and then I left, thinking ten minutes had passed. The song had lasted an hour.

Nothing is more frustrating than a song that sets an atmosphere, a mood, and then disappears, leaving us hanging. This is why I like longer tracks.

Super JX and the MPG-7X

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Roland Super JX (MKS-70 / JX-10) is one of Roland’s most underrated analogue polysynths. Released in 1986, it was effectively two JX-8P synth engines in one instrument, giving you 12 voices of DCO analogue synthesis, huge pads, powerful basses, and classic mid-80s Roland character.

In this video I take a deep dive into the Roland MKS-70 Super Jupiter rack synth, paired with the Retroaktiv MPG-7X programmer and the Vecoven PWM upgrade, which massively expands the capabilities of the original synth.

We explore how the controller transforms the experience compared with the original menu-driven interface, and look at the additional synthesis power introduced by the Vecoven upgrade including true PWM, additional envelopes, extra LFO, and expanded modulation routing.

Along the way I demonstrate a range of sounds including pads, basses, evolving textures and layered patches, showing why the Super JX became famous for its huge analogue pads and rich detuned sounds.

I also look at some of the performance features of the MPG-7X such as assignable controls, patch generation, chord mode, velocity crossfading and MIDI integration, which make this combination feel like a modern analogue synthesizer despite the vintage hardware.

If you're into vintage Roland synths, analogue polysynths, or classic 80s synthesis, the Super JX is a fascinating instrument sitting right at the transition between the analogue era and the rise of digital synths like the DX7.

video upload by Somnambule

"Hi folks!

In this piece, sound is not simply performed — it is discovered, shaped, and gently guided through shifting layers of time.

'forwards and backwards in time' is an ambient improvisation created with the Polygene II by Gene Synths.

The instrument itself feels less like a machine and more like a crafted artifact — a delicate fusion of art and sound design. Its finely detailed structure, almost ornamental in nature, reflects the sonic worlds it reveals: intricate, fragile, and deeply expressive.

Textures emerge like fragments of a submerged civilization, or like transmissions from a distant future. Each movement carries a sense of both memory and anticipation, as if the sound exists outside of linear time.

This improvisation embraces that ambiguity.
There is no fixed destination — only evolving patterns, subtle shifts, and moments that appear, dissolve, and reappear in altered form. The Polygene II becomes a medium rather than a tool, allowing intuition to lead the process.

What unfolds is a quiet exploration of atmosphere and detail —
a space where sound feels suspended, moving simultaneously forwards and backwards in time.

Ambient improvisation with the #polygene by @genesynths .
Experimental ambient, chill out soundscapes, evolving textures and modular-style synthesis.
Live ambient performance focused on atmosphere, time and sonic depth.

Best sound with headphones"

Minimal Electronica with Softball MIDI and Digitone | Extra Ball 2026-03-20 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A minimal electronica piece where MIDI from ‪@noine-giron‬ Softball https://store.noine.net/softball.html is sent to Digitone for sound generation.

Softball by noine runs on a Mac and sends MIDI sequences to the Digitone via USB MIDI, triggering the sound.

On the Digitone, the knobs are used to shape and modify the sound of each track in real time."

Some info on Softball, Google translated:

"A macOS MIDI sequencer that is simply fun to use—featuring the playful motion of a bouncing ball. It is currently available for purchase on Payhip.

・Simple ・Highly expressive ・Fun to use
These three principles form the core of its design. While I do plan to add more features in the future, I intend to remain steadfast in upholding these three fundamental pillars.
DAWs like Ableton Live consolidate almost every conceivable function into a single package, allowing you to do just about anything; I rely on them heavily myself.
However, isn't there also a unique joy in treating individual applications on your computer as distinct modules—combining them in various ways to create something new? This very concept is why I chose to handle MIDI directly rather than developing this as a standard plugin. And, of course, sending MIDI signals out to trigger external hardware instruments is a delight in its own right!
I have intentionally designed the interface to avoid the need for precise note-by-note (Do-Re-Mi) input via a traditional piano roll. Instead, I encourage you to experiment with different keys and scales to find the perfect musical balance that feels right to you. My hope is that you will feel free to create and play sounds in a way that feels natural and accessible.
But why the bouncing ball?
Aren't you a little tired of watching static step sequencers or piano rolls scroll endlessly across the screen?
I felt that the dynamic motion of a bouncing ball had a wonderful synergy with musical rhythm and beat. Plus—let's be honest—it just looks adorable as it bounces along!"

"AstroLab is less a synth and more an idea machine—a source of instant inspiration, perfect for grabbing a sound and running with it. The lack of deep editing is a trade-off for speed and variety. If you’re the type who wants to modulate an LFO with another LFO, look elsewhere. But if you want to make music now and worry about the details later, the AstroLab 37 is a serious contender. As always, the real magic—and a few quirks—are best experienced., let the jams and sound demos do the talking."
