断片的な記憶とProphet X：雨音のデュレイ・グルーヴ

video upload by Suzuki Ryo

Featuring the Sequential Prophet-6 desktop. One more below, followed by the Tempest. Some interesting sounds in these.

"過去の記録から、特に心に残った瞬間を再構築しました。

降りしきる雨を、シンセサイザーの回路へと通したような音。
左手で「デュレイ（Delay）」の刻を操り、右手でアルペジエーターの粒子を変化させる。
練習の過程で生まれた、パーカッシブで内省的なグルーヴの断片です。

自然の風景を波形に落とし込んだ、環境音楽的な記録として。

English Description

Reconstructing poignant moments from my past archives.

Sounds like the falling rain, channeled through synthesizer circuitry.
Modulating the 'Delay (Duration)' with the left hand while shaping arpeggiator particles with the right.
These are fragments of a percussive, introspective groove born from the process of practice.

A record of natural landscapes translated into ambient waveforms.

Left hand: Delay time & Feedback (The Groove)

Right hand: Arpeggiator values

"過去の記録から、特に心に残った瞬間を再構築しました。

当時、近所の山を歩きながら綴った言葉と、Prophet Xで紡いだ音の対話。
自然の風景をシンセサイザーの波形に落とし込んだ、環境音楽的な断片です。

Reconstructing poignant moments from my past archives.

A dialogue between the words I wrote while walking through the nearby mountains and the sounds I wove with the Prophet X. These are ambient fragments—natural landscapes translated into synthesizer waveforms."

Audio Rate Modulation on a Prophet 6 Analog Synth

video upload by The Worship Keys

Catch the full episode with Marcus Wiles:

EP #106: Prophet 6 Hardware Synth Rig with Marcus Wiles #prophet6 #worshipkeys

video upload by The Worship Keys

"This episode focuses on synthesizers with a deep dive on Marcus Wiles’ Sequential Prophet-6, while also thanking sponsor Aerospace Audio and highlighting their Arrow Pads app and Atmosphere Pads pedal features, sound packs, pricing, and routing ideas with Ableton. Marcus explains why he chose the Prophet-6, how its simplicity and poly mod section shaped his synth programming, and why hardware can feel more like an instrument. He demonstrates practical sound-design concepts that translate to any synth or Omni sphere, including using unison and stereo spread versus chorus, preparing patches for mono or stereo systems, shaping sounds with envelopes to turn a basic patch into bass, plucks, brass, and an 808-style sound, adding texture with audio-rate modulation and effects (including distortion after reverb), and using the Prophet-6 sequencer for writing inspiration. The episode ends with a call for viewers to submit their own key rigs and a teaser for the next episode on the Nord Stage 4."

"Another very nice-looking instrument which has obviously sat around for many years not being used. Brief report: Looked to power up OK but a very noisy cooling fan. Display showed correctly and it made sounds, albeit random noises so the presets seem corrupted.

Turned it off an on again and it went through the autotune OK but turned it off again as I didn't want it to overheat.

Turned it on a third time but no lights, nothing. I removed the mains but the mains input pins on the Memorymoog seem loose."

"The Roland SH-5 is possibly the most feature rich vintage mono synth ever made by the legendary Japanese company. With 2 LFO's, 2 VCO's, 1 variable state VCF, 1 bandpass filter, 2 Envelopes, 1 VCA, S&H, Ring Mod and a simple but powerful switch matrix for routing modulation this synth is more than capable of making some of the most incredible tones and textures you can imagine!

Made in the late 1970's 'green face' Roland era, when their synths had a certain magic sound that is hard to describe. Fizzling and alive with electricity!

A handful of patch points on the back give you access to all the essential controls via CV so that this can play along nicely with a modern set-up.

This particular SH-5 has just been fully serviced in our Synthesizer Rejuvenation and Wellness Centre and comes with a 90 day warranty of good health. Original lid included."

via Elektron

The Swedish company will continue to operate from its headquarters in Gothenburg and its subsidiaries in Los Angeles and Berlin, with its team, brand, and product development focus intact.

Gothenburg, Sweden — April 8, 2026 — Elektron, the Swedish instrument maker behind a range of electronic musical instruments and performance tools, today announced that it has been acquired by Bonnier Capital, the long-established Swedish family-owned media group with international operations.

The acquisition of Elektron Music Machines AB from a consortium led by EMM Intressenter AB provides long-term support for Elektron’s continued development, international growth, and future expansion. Elektron will maintain full independence and continue to operate from its headquarters in Gothenburg, as well as its subsidiaries in Los Angeles and Berlin, with its existing team, brand, and commitment to creating instruments and tools for music makers worldwide.

In connection with the transaction, Jonas Hillman, Alexander Hellström, together with the management team, will reinvest alongside Bonnier Capital, reaffirming their ongoing commitment and active participation in Elektron’s journey.

Since its founding in 1998, Elektron has established a distinct position in electronic music through its unique approach to sound, sequencing, and performance-oriented design. As part of Bonnier, the company will gain access to broader strategic resources while preserving the focus and identity that have defined Elektron over the years.

“Elektron has built a truly distinctive position at the intersection of technology, creativity, and music culture. We are deeply impressed by the team’s craftsmanship and vision, and we see strong alignment with our long-term approach to building enduring, creative businesses in the music industry. Our ambition is to support Elektron’s continued growth while preserving the unique identity that has made it so respected by artists worldwide,” said Jonas Von Hedenberg, Investment Director at Bonnier Capital.

Alexander Hellström, CEO of Elektron, added: “Joining Bonnier marks an exciting new chapter for Elektron. It gives us the support and strategic backing to keep doing what we love most—creating inspiring instruments and pushing the boundaries of sound and performance. At the same time, this is just the beginning of a more ambitious journey ahead. Together with Bonnier Capital, we see strong opportunities to grow further, as we expand our role in shaping the future of electronic music creation.”

For customers, partners, and the wider Elektron community, day-to-day operations continue as usual. Ongoing product development, support, and existing business commitments remain unchanged.

Free Behringer CZ-1 online editor

video upload by gary909

via gary909:

"I've finally finished my Behringer CZ-1 editor, which is available online for free:

https://www.behringer-cz1-editor.co.uk/

This editor has taken me forever to complete! It's by far and away the most advanced one I've built yet, featuring 90 or so sliders. I'd had no experience with Phase Distortion Synthesis before starting this project, so it meant reading a few books and watching hours of you tube videos. There's bound to be a few bugs, but it beats using the single button on the hardware to program the unit.

The UI has also been designed to shed some light on how to program it, with panels being highlighted when accessible, and animations to convey what is being changed. Hopefully it should help somebody. Every control has it's function listed, you just need to hover the mouse over it.

Here's a short youtube video going over some of the features.

It's completely free and works through the browser, you just need to plug in your CZ-1 into your pc or phone. Safari unfortunately isn't supported because Apple doesn't allow midi data transfer, but it should work well on most other platforms."

"70s Korg Polyensemble polysynth which was the forerunner of the PS series. Working well throughout other than I noticed that the voice selector switch can be intermittent probably because it hasn’t been used for along time. These old switches like to be cleaned and exercised. Also the Soft knob is a little scratchy when turning but not a lot. Other than that it’s cosmetic - there is damage to the tolex on the top and a small patch of tolex missing from the underside. If I could keep I would consider a graft from the underside to the top. No lid."

Posting this for that tiny tiny "keyboard." If you don't see it just wait for it. He plays it in the intro.

Ambient improvisation with UDO DMNO

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"This is my first ambient improvisation with the new UDO DMNO synthesizer. Part 1 starts with a deep unison drone, followed by a pad sound played on the upper layer. Then I change the patch to a modulated pad sound. Part 2 shows the DMNO with sequencer patterns.

The DMNO is a lot of fun to program, I made the five patches today. The delay is from the internal effects, I added an external reverb to the sounds. Recorded and mixed in Bitwig 6.

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

HAPAX 3.00 – IMPROVED MPE + VIRTUAL CABLES

video upload by Squarp instruments

"✨ We’re excited to announce that hapaxOS 3.00 is now available for download!

This major update introduces powerful new features, including MPE support and Virtual Cables, along with a range of bug fixes and performance improvements.
This opens up exciting new workflows for integrating the Hapax with your DAW or other gear.

To fully support the complexity and data demands of MPE, we’ve deeply reworked the system architecture. This is why we’ve moved to version 3.00: it marks a significant milestone for Hapax. The result is a more robust and reliable experience than ever before, including when working with classic Poly tracks.

A big thank you to all our beta testers who helped us refine this release over the past two months!

If you're a Hapax user—or considering becoming one—this update is definitely worth checking out."

Free Synth1 Save The Robots

video upload by steve webb

via Wikipedia:

"Synth1 is a software synthesizer designed by KVR user Daichi (Real name: Ichiro Toda 戸田一郎 [1]). It was originally designed as an emulation of the Nord Lead 2 synthesizer, and has since become a unique Virtual Studio Technology instrument and one of the most downloaded VST plug-ins of all time. The software used to be a DirectX instrument plugin, but became solely VSTi from version 1.08 on. Version 1.13 was the first version to introduce a native 64-bit version of the plugin."

"Synth1 was first released as a DXi plug-in on October 9, 2002. It was updated to support the VSTi format six days later, on October 15, 2002."
