ERAE Sound — A Taste of What's Inside | Preset Snippets
video upload by embodme
"Each sound you hear is a complete instrument: a preset and a surface layout designed together. Not a demo patch. Not a preset bank. A different way to play every time.
83 instruments total. This is a few of them."
Top video description & details:
"The first synthesizer designed for an expressive surface. Not adapted — built from scratch.
ERAE Sound pairs every sound with a dedicated surface layout. 83 complete instruments, each with its own voice, its own feel, its own way of being played. Slide, press, brush, damp — the sound follows your intention in real time.
No setup. No mapping. No friction. Just play.

5/29/26 (goofy samba) EML 400/401 & 200 + Roland CR-78 + DSP 808 + Metasonix R-57 + ADE Panscan (…)
video upload by Cfpp0
"5/29/26 (goofy samba) EML 400/401 & 200 + Roland CR-78 & SPH-323 + DSP 808 + Metasonix R-57 + ADR Pan Scan + Alesis MIDIVERB II
Whatever this is, it came about when I hooked up the Roland CR-78 drum machine trigger output (Disco 2/Samba) to the ElectroComp EML 400/401 external clock input. And it sounded so goofy I had to record it. A kick from the DSP 808 was added on the 1. The EML 400/401 is auto-panning through the ADR Pan Scan. Then I did an overdub, alternating octaves on the EML 400/401, with the CR-78 beat running through the Metasonix R-57, and a clave on the DSP 808. There is an additional clave sound towards the end, from the EML 200, using the envelope output from the EML 401. Reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II."

Haiku Generative Music Album by Giorgio Sancristoforo for Mac OS Released
Giorgio Sancristoforo's Haiku Generative Music Album is now available for download. You might remember the demos from previous posts here.
It's a fascinating concept. According to Giorgio Sancristoforo:
"Haiku is not an instrument, it’s a music album in the form of software.
Haiku is a work of generative music that builds its own sound from nothing each time you open it, and never plays the same way twice — a record that exists only while it is playing."
Be sure tee the Giorgio Sancristoforo website for his additional creations including dedicated experimental software synthesizers. You can also find posts featuring them via his label below.

The story behind this is in the late 90’s my Dad and a friend of his went up to Chicago from Texas to meet with an old music store owner who had lots of his old vintage inventory from the 60’s to the 80’s and was selling everything he had. My Dad was the first outsider to pick through the new old stock.
He came home with 7 of these percussion kings sealed in the box. Over the years he would occasionally sell one. And this is the last one we have.
This is an amazing item for vintage VOX collectors, don’t let this one pass you by. See photos email with questions. Buyer must pay within 3 days of auctions end."

Exploring the Hexinverter / Erica Synths Mindphaser | Drone Sound Study
video upload by synthetic theory
"Yesterday was Drone Day and technically I'm one day late, because I didn't finish the post-processing in time. But anyway: this felt like the right moment to share something a little different.
I'm currently expanding my rack and learning how to operate a few new modules properly. One of them is the Hexinverter / Erica Synths Mindphaser. At first, I honestly wasn't completely convinced. I tried it, struggled to find the right tones, packed it back into the box and was already planning to send it back.
But then I gave it one more evening.
Instead of judging it too quickly, I tried to understand how it actually works. I slowed down, explored the interaction between the oscillators, the modulation paths, the waveshaping, and the strange areas between tone and chaos. And then the potential suddenly became clear.
Some modules simply need more attention. They have a learning curve and they don't always reveal themselves immediately. But once you reach that point of understanding, they can turn out to be real powerhouses.
So this is not one of my usual performance videos. It's more of a slow exploration: a drone-focused sound study with the Mindphaser at the center, sometimes shaped by effects, filtering, gates, and modulation.

Chompi + Chase Bliss Onward | A Spontaneous Ambient Sketch
video upload by The Pedalboard Orchestra
"While testing my new KMA Audio Machines headphone amplifier, I stumbled upon this little musical moment.
Chompi Club runs a simple sequence into the Chase Bliss Onward, then through a parallel reverb setup with the EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath and Chase Bliss Dark World.
My wife heard it and suggested I record it before it disappeared, so this is a completely spontaneous one-take recording captured with a Zoom recorder while I was simultaneously holding a phone camera and playing the instruments.
Sometimes the unplanned moments are worth keeping."
