Buried in the dunes | Yamaha RS7000 track


video upload by MIDERA

"Honestly, I don't know when I made this track, likely some time in 2013-2015? I don't know why I never published it, but I just thought I'd do more with it, and didn't so... this is it.

Internal FX only."

Analog Synth Ambient w/ Prophet-10, Moog One, and Music Easel | Membrane 2026-08-27 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the Prophet-10, Moog One, Music Easel, and ARP ODYSSEY.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed with reverb through the blueSky. The Moog One also plays synth pad sounds, adding another layer to the texture.

On the Music Easel, the sequencer is looped at a slow tempo to generate sustained tones.

On the ARP ODYSSEY, a synth lead is performed while the MOOD MKII layers micro loops over the sound."

landhanger #20 // False Memories (GS Music Bree6 & Dreadbox Artemis) #dawless


video upload by landhanger

"Laidback jam with some new additions to my setup. GS Music Bree 6 (with Empress Zoia for effects) for that analog warmth (this synth is amazing!). It pairs very well with the more experimental sound of the Dreadbox Artemis. Also integrated the Endorphin.es Golden Master pedal for end-of-chain processing. This pedal makes such a huge difference ( no post-processing is done)!

Thanks for listening!

Current setup:
‪@WeAreElektron‬ Digitakt II: master clock, drums, samples
‪@WeAreElektron‬ Digitone II: synths, leads, keys, sequencing Artemis and Micromonsta 2

63 Sticky synth knobs?! Here’s how I cleaned them (with a little help from Zara XD)


video upload by Solidtrax

"Many synth manufacturers use these nice rubbery knobs, but after a while, these tend to get really sticky. I needed these two instruments for a project, so I decided to clean them. A bit of a shout-out to A big shout-out to ‪@charliedont‬ & ‪@LESINDES‬ for the inspiration. I’ve added a third method as well. Plus, I used a bit of common sense to get the knobs off easily and clean them properly.

Music is composed with the help of the ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬ DrumBrute, The MicroFreak and the new ‪@bitwig‬ Studio 6.1. Used ‪@CytomicAudio‬ The Scream as well."

Cenere | Generative Synth


video uploads by Stagecraft Software



"On September 1st, we at Stagecraft Software (a Chicago-based music software company) will release a new subtractive synth called Cenere. It's designed to combine a vintage character with the power of modern wavetables.

One of the synth's biggest advancements is the Unison Engine, where each voice has its own subtle, independent movement that users can modify for all kinds of unique behaviors [see the Poly Glide video below]. This creates a thick, shifting sound bed that feels organic before it even reaches the filter stage.

Speaking of filters, there's a large selection of analog-modeled filters, including comb, mirror, and continuously morphing ones. Along with any of the synth's parameters, they can be modulated using LFOs, ADSRs, and more for a dynamic sound.


Here's a quick outline of the biggest features:

- Vintage style oscillators with true real time hard sync
- Large selection of analog modeled filters, including continuous morph filters
- Audio rate mod capable parameters
- Link parameters to LFOs, ADSRs, and more
- Unison engine (9 layers) with spread, gravity, drift control for incredible depth
- Velocity / Aftertouch / MPE / note (pitch) modding
- Polyphonic portamento
- 20+ quality effects"

A Juno-60 Lost in a Loop


video upload by BellaBell

"The Roland Juno-60 is once again at the center of this performance, this time built around a looping texture created with the Hologram Microcosm.

The Juno is fed into the Microcosm to create the repeating foundation, then shaped further with saturation from the Chase Bliss Generation Loss and processing from the Hologram Chroma Console.

Throughout the performance, Tao uses slow filter swells on the Juno-60, pushing its resonance to bring out more psychedelic tones and movement from the synth.

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

"With only 140 units ever made, this DX1 is a pretty rare sight. Nonetheless, this real deal example is here to stay. The top of the top for Yamaha, this synth offers 32 voice polyphony or 16 with the "split" feature. It's quite fashionable in a Brazillian rosewood housing, and its polyphonic aftertouch makes it still quite modern today. Rather than using membrane buttons, the DX1 uses tact switches making it quite easy to interact with. This particular unit has had its power supply completely recapped, making it run like a top.

Although it certainly looks it, this DX1 is NOT perfect. One of the endcheeks has been repaired at some point, and some sort of solvent has been used around the pitch wheel making the paint slightly raised but still stably attached."

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

"Tested, working and serviced, this Waldorf Wave is a rare bird! With only 320 unit ever made, this was meant to be the flagship for Waldorf. Made to be Waldorf's flagship this big wavetable synth offers an intuitive layout especially for a digital synth. This particular wave has been upgraded to 32 voices and works great. This Wave has been upgraded to a Gotek drive, but the original drive and disks are included too.

This Wave isn't perfect. The struts on this synth are functional, but a light push on the panel will cause it to fold back in to the 'down' position."

Isobar Industries Serratus is Completely Unhinged Madness


video upload by Metamyther and Isobar Industries

"Isobar's new module Serratus features 9 comb filters and 9 mutations, which combined with deep sound sculpting parameters, provide completely unparalleled sonic exploration. Make drones, noisy blasts, and even demented choirs with this beast of a module. Required viewing for fans of the Vhikk X, Befaco Oneiroi, or noise, industrial, and dark techno of all kinds."



A matrix of resonant delay bodies and mutations. Serratus weaves nine comb algorithms against nine distortion, saturation, and mutation processes, with each intersection morphable in real time. Chaos and generative modulation treat the whole system as a living organism, while independent routing places filter, distortion, and reverb before, inside, or after the feedback loop, sculpting everything from string plucks and resonant percussion to frozen spectral drones and chaotic self-generating textures.

Behringer Grind: 64 Techno, Acid, House Patterns Sound Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

🦠 Behringer Grind "Toxic Flux" is a collection of 64 sequences suitable for different genres like Techno, Minimal, Dark Ambient, IDM, Industrial, House, Breakbeat etc.
🧿 The soundset contains a wide range of patterns: dense, with all steps active, or sparse, having many empty steps and giving space for other instruments. Each pattern is thoroughly set with parameters such as Gate Length, Glide, and Accent.

πŸ“¦ The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/grin...

🎼 There are patterns with an "even" number of steps (16, 32) and patterns with an "uneven" number (15, 21, 30), which create interesting interactions with other parts of the track through polymetry.
🎹 By default, the sequences are in the C2 Minor scale. However, you may transpose them to octaves, or you can adjust the root note in semitones using the onboard keyboard to fit any scale. Additionally, transposition during playback can be used to create progressions.

πŸ’‘ The soundset doesn't include Grind patches/timbres/front-panel settings. Patterns/sequences/melodies only.
You may find Grind patches on my website as separate products.

πŸŽ› You can use the patterns as ready-to-go material for your tracks or jams. Alternatively, you can go further by taking them as a starting point. Decorate the sequences with the features offered by Grind: play with pattern length (end point), direction, rotation (shifts the starting point back and forward), swing amount and division, tempo division if you use an external clock, momentary actions like hold, accent, ratchet, and others, reset, and, of course, you can change patterns by muting/adding steps or changing notes. Thus, a single sequence can produce many "siblings" in real time.

πŸ“ For loading the sequences onto your Grind, you must use the SynthTribe app. It’s available on the official Behringer website → Grind page → Downloads.
Before loading new sequences, make sure to back up the slots already used in your synth.
The pack consists of 64 sequences. You can send the sequences one by one if you want to load individual sequences.

Instructions:
Connect your Grind via USB.
Run the SynthTribe application.
Choose the Sequencer Page.
Select Pattern Group 1 → Pattern Section A → Pattern 1.
Click Import and select I-1-A.seq from the “Patterns” folder.
Click Store to load it into the Grind I-1-A slot.
This takes several minutes in total.

Alternatively, you can load all 64 sequences from the soundset with a single click.
Click the Merge button in the SynthTribe app and select Toxic Flux Dump File.seq.
I added drums and pads to the demos to create a musical context.
They are not included in the soundset.
