Carousel: Five-Voice Round-Robin Polyphonic Synthesizer (VST3 / AU)


video upload by Laboratory 0

"Carousel is a five-voice round-robin polyphonic synthesizer built around a simple idea: a circle. Its five voices sit like seats on a carousel, and every note you play is assigned to a different one - in sequence, random, or all at once.

Each voice is a complete synth with its own oscillator, filter, and envelopes. Differences in tuning and timbre drift across the stereo field, creating a sound that is organic and quietly imperfect - like an old carousel left in the sun.

Carousel is designed to be simple. No LFOs, no presets, no complex synthesis - just pure play. A childhood that exists only in memory.

"As many of you know, at Superbooth 2026 we had the incredible opportunity to meet Dina Pearlman—daughter of Alan R. Pearlman and founder of the ARP Foundation.

We took this special occasion to ask her a few questions about ARP, the foundation, and the legacy of these legendary instruments. Dina is an amazing human being and was so warm and welcoming to us. We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did!

Echolocator: How to patch generative darkness


video upload by Richard DeHove

"The recent 1.04 firmware update with the new frequency shifter has made creating genertive soundtrack-style material reasonably straightforward. In short you put the delay into feedback, dial in some delay time fluctuations via the modulation controls and orbit, adjust the frequency shifter pitch to taste, then let it run.

It helps of course to have a little more processing downstream which is where the Zen delay comes in (it's even on the noisy and hated 'vintage' mode). But for a very close and dry feel the Echolocator by itself can still do a good job. Interesting and sometimes wild things also happen around the "0" value of the pitch shift knob.

For extended twiddlings it's all about modifying the root pitch. There's lots of places this can happen: the frequency shifter and delay time, and likewise delay time on the Zen. Then there's all the little flavorings which comes from the filters, feedback amount, modulation amount, reverb and Zen drive. Plenty of things to tweak if you prefer to ride the controls rather than let it run.

Warning: There are some big pitch variations here including sub-bass.

3:15 Low and lower
4:42 Enter the Zen
10:25 Low drone

Ethereal ambient calm | live looping with the Stylosette Keys


video upload by vekoni and Stylophone

"Relax with this soothing, calming ambient track. Live performed simple looping with the almighty Loopy Pro and a bunch of beautiful effects.

Disclaimer: Stylophone sent this product free of charge; I wasn’t paid, and they had no input on the content.

I loved the Stylosette immediately after trying it. It looks like a toy, but the sound is fantastic, and the octave shift and adjustable vibrato makes it more capable than I thought it would be (I didn't even try the built in delay this time, but it also sounds great and can do self-oscillating madness as well).

Most people use the Stylosette through fruits, and other food like sushi and cheese (genius haha), which I might try next time, but I only wanted something simple and conductive for the octave key to play the high-pitched melody after the base loops were layered... so I used a Japanese knife. Mostly because it looks great and sits stable on the table (cutting edge idea...).

Now the usual geeky stuff:

Signal chain:
→ Stylophone Stylosette Keys through a TRS to RCA cable and a stereo to mono adapter
→ IK Multimedia iRig USB
→ iPhone with Loopy Pro as host

SPACE CRAFT: Event Set for Perseid Meteor Shower with Tangerine Dream, Steve Roach, & More



This one is in via Adam G

via https://www.spacecraftjoshuatree.com/home:

Experience the Perseid Meteor Shower

Tangerine Dream, ESG, Laraaji, Steve Roach + more

Every August, the Perseid Meteor Shower draws stargazers from around the world to witness one of nature's most spectacular annual displays.

This year is especially remarkable.

And via the Pioneer Town Gazette:

SPACE CRAFT brings two generations of experimental electronic music to Pappy & Harriet’s Outdoor Stage on Saturday, August 15. Evicshen, Victoria Shen’s performance project, opens at 6:30 p.m. with a 45-minute set of experimental sound and electronics. Tangerine Dream takes the stage at 7:45 p.m. for a two-hour set. Founded by Edgar Froese in 1967, Tangerine Dream brings nearly six decades of electronic-music history to the desert. Saturday’s sequence places Victoria Shen’s contemporary performance project alongside one of the genre’s longest-running groups, then gives the headliner two full hours. Tickets start at $110 and rise to $265 by tier. The festival is all ages, every attendee needs a ticket, and guests under 18 must attend with an adult. The peak of the Perseids coincides with the new moon, creating exceptionally dark skies and ideal viewing conditions that only occur every few years.

But there's another reason: truly dark skies are disappearing — light pollution and the rapidly growing number of satellites in orbit are forever changing how we experience stars.

ako - Home3D (four track tape version) - recording w/ a Yamaha MT-50 tape recorder, DX21 & RX5


video upload by ako

"Here's a video of the recording of the A-side for my new single (links to all formats below). It was was recorded on an Yamaha MT-50 four track tape recorder (a solidly underrated recorder, with an advantage over various more popular Portastudio models in that you can record on all 4 tracks simultaneously, rather than just 2 at once) with a Yamaha DX21 (bass, chords and FX), Novation Ultranova (additional chord layers) and Yamaha RX5 (drums). Synchronisation between tape (which had the chord layers bounced down to 2 tracks to free up tracks) and MIDI used to sequence the bass and drums was achieved using a Yamaha YMC10 MIDI clock to tape-synch converter (solid little converter). Reverb was provided by an Alesis MIDIverb II (an FX unit that needs no introduction) and chorus for the bass via a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus - my favourite chorus, to me it just sounds how chorus should sound (this particular one is a vintage ‘made in Japan’ model, so fully analogue compared to later digital CH-1 models, and just sounds super warm). It was mixed on MT-50 but also with a venerable Peavey Unity Series 2000-16 (for submixes and sends etc.), this mixer has a flavour all of it’s own, certainly not high fidelity, but kinda gritty and warm and just kinda ‘Peavey’… The track is out now for stream and download, hope you folks dig the track 🙂

ako - Home3D (four track tape version) [vaporwave / synthfunk / utopian virtual]

video upload by ako

"Taken from my new single - previously unreleased versions of ‘Home3D’ and ‘Basic Microwaving’ recorded on four track tape (FFO: Eyeliner, FM Skyline, Rustie). Out now on Spotify, BandCamp, YouTube and all other digital platforms, all formats here: https://linktr.ee/simeonsoden

This track (the A-side) was recorded on an Yamaha MT-50 four track with DX21 (bass, chords and FX), RX5 (drums) and some bits and pieces from a Novation Ultranova.

I made the video by retexturing the classic win95-98 '3D Maze.scr' screen saver with archetypal win98 desktop wallpapers to create the sensation of the desktop opening as a portal to virtual worlds beyond. Re-filmed from various CRTs and projectors. Hope you folks enjoy :)"

No Plan, Just Sound | Live Hardware Jam with Ableton Move × Circuit


video upload by microMarie

"Tonight was something different: no prepared DJ set, no finished tracks — just the Ableton Move, Novation Circuit and a lot of improvisation.

I built loops, switched between both machines and tried to turn spontaneous ideas into a live electronic performance. Not everything was planned, not everything was perfect — but that is exactly what makes a hardware jam exciting.

Expect melodic moments, driving drums, changing grooves and a few chaotic experiments along the way."

EMS VCS3 Synth "The Putney" with Cricklewood Keyboard

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this Reverb listing

"Here is an extremely rare EMS VSC3 "The Putney" Synthesizer, with the accompanying Cricklewood keyboard. Most VCS3's are extremely rare, but this one has the distinction of belonging to Al Kooper, noted guitarist, synthesist, record producer and arranger. This was used on many of his recordings in the 1970's and 1980's, and was restored 3 years ago to its original glory. A full set of replacement pots were purchased from EMS, but the tech who serviced it found that the original pots were still in fine shape, and after cleaning and lubrication, performed as they should. So, this comes with a full set of replacement pots for whenever service needs arise."

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

"Classic powerhouse of a poly-synth! The Yamaha CS60 shares the same architecture of the CS80 (including memory) which is why it's a fantastic synth to dial-in that big boy CS80 sound without the heavy price tag. This particular CS60 is in very good condition for its age. It comes with a Kenton midi kit installed by our in house technician. This synth came from a very meticuluous collector, making it pretty hard to beat.

More info on the CS60:

Featuring two oscillators, two envelopes, and two low-frequency oscillators. It also has a built-in chorus effect and a built-in arpeggiator. The CS-60 is capable of producing a wide range of sounds, from warm and mellow to bright and aggressive.

The CS60 is a 8 note polyphonic synthesizer w/ velocity, aftertouch and a ribbon 
controller which offers the player a really organic feel into the performance of the instrument. Other key real-time control facilities, such as the LFO/ring-modulator section really make the CS60 a great players instrument – it’s all about the performance with the big CS polys. The resonant qualities of the Yamaha CS series filter are unmatched by any other poly-synth so they sound unique."

Stylophone Live performance | Techno


video upload by Stylophone

"STYLOPHONE LIVE TECHNO PERFORMANCE

A live improvised Techno style performance with The Stylophone BEAT, GEN X-2 & CPM DS-2.

Inspired by the drone and dark vibes of a Techno rave live set, these Stylophone devices provide the sounds reminiscent of that classic electronic music scene.

Recorded into a multi-track digital recorder, this performance features drums on the Techno setting from the Stylophone BEAT as well as a sampled bass note that repeats on loop. The CPM DS-2 adds drone and sweeping effects using both Oscillators to make harmonized tones. The Ultra LFO, resonance and cutoff filters add movement, depth and character to the drone. The Gen X-2 provides the lead on its low octave setting and has its own built-in delay effect to give a large expansive sound lead that plays between octaves.

These tracks have been mixed and master in a audio program and some additional effects like side-chain compression, volume automation, eq, delay, and reverb. All sounds generated in this performance have been made with these Stylophone devices.

Hopefully this performance inspires you to try a similar setup in your home studio or at your next local rave. Have fun!"

Turn the Korg Multi/Poly Into a Vintage String Machine


video upload by Ian Dixon

"Turn the Korg Multi/Poly into a classic vintage string machine, complete with lush ensemble strings and a powerful split bass — using only the hardware front panel.

In this tutorial, I build the complete performance from an initialized sound, creating a Solina-style string layer with multiple oscillators, filtering, ensemble modulation, phaser and stereo delay. I then add a detuned synth bass on Layer B and use key zones to create a playable strings-and-bass keyboard split.

Everything is programmed directly on the Multi/Poly — no software editor required.

What you’ll learn
Build lush vintage string-machine tones from scratch
Layer oscillators across octaves for a richer ensemble sound
Use high-pass filtering to shape classic string textures
Add ensemble, phaser and stereo delay for width and movement
Create a detuned sawtooth bass on a second layer
Set up key zones for a strings-and-bass split
Balance the layers and add spacious reverb

Timestamps

0:00 – Introduction and finished sound
0:35 – Building the string layer
1:50 – Multi-oscillator octave layering
2:55 – Ensemble and modulation effects
4:15 – Adding stereo delay and width
