Synthesizer Pioneer Patrick Gleeson Has Passed Away

Some sad news in via The Alan R Pearlman Foundation and The Bob Moog Foundation

Celebrating the Life of Composer and Synthesizer Pioneer Patrick Gleeson

We received the sad news about about the passing of Patrick Gleeson. With respect to Pat's widow, and in conjunction with the Bob Moog Foundation, we are sharing their Press Release:

Legendary Master Synthesist Patrick Gleeson Dies at 91

On behalf of the estate of Patrick Gleeson, the Bob Moog Foundation shares the passing of the legendary electronic music pioneer. Patrick Gleeson passed away on July 19, 2026; he was 91 years old. Gleeson may be best remembered as the owner of Different Fur Studios, and for his subsequent work with Herbie Hancock. However, his career stretched well beyond those accomplishments, including producing and engineering for a multitude of musicians, recording solo albums, scoring soundtracks, and performing live.

Wendy Carlos once wrote of Patrick, "Our eight-year wait for someone else to explore electroinc music realisation with what we judge to be appropriate technical standards and musical taste has ended. In short, one hears the ears of a gifted musician at work, in a field where one must exercise unprecedented discipline and self-control."

You can read much more about Patrick's significant contributions to the world of synthesis and music HERE."

You can find numerous posts featuring Patrick Gleeson here on MATRIXSYNTH.

SEQtrak Bass Station Techno-funk!!

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"So I got my own Bass Station 2 now, and I'm enjoying it very much in combination with the Yamaha SEQtrak. I'm running the audio from the Bass Station into the SEQtrak input, so the Yamaha master effects (high pass filter and repeater in my case) can act on the Bass Station and really make everything sound cohesive. I'm 'borrowing' the SEQtrak sampler track (MIDI channel 11) for sequencing the Bass Station MIDI, which leaves my hands free to twist knobs and have some fun. Here's some techno-funk for your listening pleasure... :D Enjoy!"

"triple reverse sigmoid chaos in 8HP."

via nonlinearcircuits

This 8HP module contains three reverse sigmoid chaos circuits, these are the same as those used in 1U reverse Sigmoid and How’s the Serenity.

This version exists because not everybody has 1U and How’s the Serenity is quite large and more focused on very slow CV generation. This version is limited to 0805 capacitors to set the timing. Tayda sell 22uF caps and you could stack these to get to 44uF easily enough. Generally, a lot of fun can be had using 1uF, 470n and 220n caps.

The syncing between the stages works very nicely with this module as the frequency ranges are closer together than How’s the Serenity, so they have a more obvious effect upon each other.

Please note if you install caps less than 470n, the 62k on that section needs to be changed to 68k. This prevents the circuit locking into a periodic orbit after CV is applied.

The caps for each section must be the same. So you will see three pads marked C1, install the same value cap in all three.

The LEDs should be very bright to shine thru the panel, a low value for RL helps too, say 2k2 or 3k3 which you are installing elsewhere on the PCB anyway. The panel renders below do not show the LEDs but they are there.

140 Bass Music | Elektron Machinedrum

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Machinedrum: Precision in Sound Design
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
Explore the unique sonic signature of the Elektron Machinedrum through a carefully curated sample pack. Every drum hit and loop is sourced exclusively from the original hardware, capturing the technical essence that made this digital instrument a cornerstone for experimental, industrial, IDM, and electronic music. Authentic Digital Character
The sounds reflect the early 2000s digital drum architecture, including its DA converters and computational synthesis methods. The result is a set of tones that are sharp, precise, and strikingly different from anything current software can replicate. Each sample retains the mechanical clarity and algorithmic complexity that define the Machinedrum experience.

Crafted for the Curious Creator
Even if the Elektron Machinedrum is new to your workflow, the textures reveal the innovation of its early designers. Founded with a focus on algorithmic sound shaping and sonic exploration, Elektron engineered a platform where every parameter contributes to its distinctive audio fingerprint. This sample pack allows creators to incorporate that unique character directly into their productions.

Continuous Expansion All files are delivered through Sellfy and automatically updated for existing users. New material is added over time, giving you access to an expanding library of sonic possibilities. Whether layering industrial beats or designing intricate IDM patterns, this collection provides a foundation that combines historical precision with modern flexibility."

3 ways to get more out of envelope modulation

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"A lot of synths have a two-envelope setup, often modulating the filter and VCA. But with a modular you can add a lot of interesting movement to a sound with creative patching. In this video I go over three different techniques that use a second envelope. To shape the transient. To add movement to the body of a sound. And to experiment with note-off modulation.

This channel is funded by my beloved Patrons!

A New Korg DSS-1 editor | It's FREE and insanely good as well

video upload by Espen Kraft

"My sound patches: https://espenkraft.com
A free Korg DSS-1 patch- and sample editor — it runs in your web browser.
A tool I built to edit and organize programs and samples in the Korg DSS-1.
Tweak every parameter on screen, pull programs and multi-sounds/samples off the sampler.

It runs in a web browser (Chrome or Edge — not Firefox or Safari) with a MIDI interface connected to the synth. It works on PC and Mac, and under Linux.

It's my personal tool, shared as-is for anyone who wants it. I've included a PDF documentation/tutorial with the download.
I offer no other form for support.

You can find it in my web shop below (it's totally free):

Well He tried... Moog Labyrinth x Subharmonicon

A little music today. So I said the last one would be the last one on this channel, but.... Labyrinth is still cool, definitely still the 2nd best and delicious sibling to the Subharmonicon. I find more unique instruments like this cool, I will say, nothing beats the Subharmonicon as the true BOAT GOAT. I've never thought about what makes instruments like this so inspiring, and well it's more or less that it's so imperfect. I show off an attempt at a short performance with some Moogs, it goes, uhhhh fine. lol"

I used random samples on the Torso S-4 and accidentally made DnB

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Welcome to Vol. 36 of my Torso S-4 Explorations!

In this session, I went in completely blind—no planning, no preparation, and zero pre-arranged patterns. Every sound decision was made on the spot using randomly selected samples across all 4 tracks.

Somewhere along the way, the jam naturally evolved into an unexpected Drum & Bass vibe, which made this session an absolute blast. The video is annotated throughout so you can follow along with exactly what I’m tweaking, modulating, and processing in real time.

🎛️ Post-Production Note:
The raw performance was recorded live, then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools.
