The NEW Squarp Core Changed Everything
video upload by EZBOT
"Squarp did something truly amazing. They made it possible to use their incredibly powerful XP32 expander for the Hermod+ with any MIDI equipment you own. This is an incredible upgrade for people like me who already know and love their hardware sequencers like Elektron, M8 Tracker, Polyend Tracker, or your favorite DAW like Bitwig and Ableton. The unit is packed with features and it has ridiculously nice screen and workflow. I barely had to read the manual to get things started. I am overjoyed! Today we talk about what it means and test it out with a system I just built."

Melancholy ambient destruction - Gene Synth GX & Black Hole Symmetry
video upload by Lo-Fi-Si
"Gene Synths - GX
Collision Devices - Black Hole Symmetry
Big fuzz around 02:40 🤯
Combining my favourite lofi synth with the destructive power of the Black Hole Symmetry.
Working my way through the effects chain; modulated delay, pitched reverb, then the final massive fuzz.
The harmonics when the fuzz distorts the feedback and delay trails is mesmerising.
When the feedback is set just right and combined with the reverb it creates a wonderful ‘space’ like atmosphere.
A monster of a pedal."

WMD Bus Rider – Features & Controls Explained
video upload by WMDevices
"Bus Rider is a Eurorack mastering module built for the end of your chain. It goes in the master insert of the Performance Mixer MkII or at the end of any Eurorack setup. It combines three modules in one: a 3-band isolator EQ, a multiband compressor, and a look-ahead limiter with saturation. It has stereo in and out, a dedicated low cut CV input, and an assignable CV input.
In this video, Alex runs a patch through Bus Rider and goes through every feature and control, with bypass comparisons along the way. He covers the full-isolation EQ and setting crossovers, multiband compression thresholds and per-band ratios, and limiter gain, ceiling, and release. He also demos the saturator, which leaves the low band alone by default to protect your headroom, and the hard clipper. The video ends with an ambient patch example, low cut CV, assigning CV, saving and loading presets, and stereo link.

WMD Channel Surfer (CHNL SRFR) – Features & Controls Explained
video upload by WMDevices
"Channel Surfer (CHNL SRFR) is a 4HP stereo channel strip that combines three modules in one: a 3-band EQ, performance filters with drive, and a 9-effect processor with stereo ducking. A three-way switch selects which section the three knobs control, and all three sections run at the same time. Settings stay where you leave them when you switch. Channel Surfer has its own stereo ins and outs, so it works anywhere in your system. It also connects to the channel insert headers on the back of the Performance Mixer MkII, which keeps your front panel patching clean.
In this video, Alex covers installing Channel Surfer on the Performance Mixer MkII, the EQ with shiftable band frequencies, the low pass and high pass filters with resonance and post-filter drive, a tour of all nine effects, sidechain ducking, saving and loading presets, and assigning the CV input to any main knob parameter.

It is not a cut-down instrument: this is a complete 8-voice, 2-part multi-timbral DMNO in a box measuring 487 x 220 x 107mm and weighing 4.5kg, built around the same two independent analog-hybrid synth engines and retaining the flexible signal architecture of the original.
For anyone who liked the sound of DMNO but did not want another keyboard in the room, this could be for you.
DMNO ONE has the same voice architecture as the keyboard."

Antonus On The Run
video upload by Antonus
"Antonus 2600 + 3620. Free jam over 'On the Run'
Jamming around the On the Run patch from Pink Floyd. Done originally with the wonderful EMS SYNTHI AKS, I took the freedom to make a kind of homage to this historic track, using mostly the Antonus 2600 + Antonus 3620 for make in real time what was done in multitracking. This is done as improvisation at the moment with no multitrack and no extra processing, only the 2600 spring reverb processing all, and not looking for replicate exactly or make perfect replication of the original theme. Looking for show the true pure sound of the analog system, the living behaviour of all, and the interaction that can be done with all parts in powerful synergy. While is of course different sound colour than the inimitable EMS synths, the 2600 have his own personality and also capable of make their own raw and raspy sound, different than mellow or sweet sounds used in other previous demos. Step Brother and pair of euro modules at SidecARP adds some animation at the modulations, but basically most is done with just the 2600+3620"

A SPECIAL PIECE OF PPG
Some instruments are chosen for more than their sound. They embody a history, a distinctive aesthetic, and the joy of having something special in front of you.
The PPG 1002 Black Edition is one such instrument. Limited to just three units worldwide, it combines the distinctive analog PPG sound with a design exclusive to this edition.
Finished entirely in black, with black anodized 3D side panels featuring the PPG logo and larger control knobs, the PPG 1002 reveals a new side of its personality. Clean, striking, and carefully considered down to the last detail.
An instrument to play, explore, and treasure.
Further refinements have been made under the hood: both analog oscillators have been optimized once again to bring out the authentic PPG sonic character."

"CatSynth presents a deep dive into the new Pentaphonic from our friends at Cherry Audio. This is a recreation of the extremely rare Gleeman Pentaphonic synthesizer, complete with its unique look featuring crystaline transparent knobs and a translucent body. The Pentaphonic was an analog polyphonic synth with a few twists, including three digital oscillators with microcontroller-generated waveforms that were fed into an analog Steiner Parker filter. We explore the emulation of these unique features as well as Cherry Audio's enhancements for modulation, effects, and motion. We also check out a few of the factory and expansion-pack presets.

https://www.soniccouture.com/en/produ...
A Personal History Of Sound
Scanner and Soniccouture have collaborated to develop a custom tool to utilise his huge personal tape archive, documenting an entire sonic life and career.
Stripped back to the basics, Scanner: Library is a bold experiment in the power of layering sound. With such a diverse and characterful archive to draw upon, it was imperative that the interface would tread lightly.
Three modules with basic envelopes + filters, a delay unit and some custom reverbs. This setup gives over 10 million possible combinations of sounds gathered over a 40 year career.
Fragments, Loops & Possibilities
Scanner: Library features 401 original recordings + a library of 200 presets to get you started. Robin designed over 100 presets himself.
Most of the audio was recovered from cassette tapes, and features the famous police scanner recordings, electronic improvisations, location audio, analogue experiments and all manner of sonic ephemera.

HollowTone - Deep Ambient Worlds. Preview
video upload by Igor Vasiliev
"HollowTone is built on a simple but quietly ambitious idea: that a soundscape can be alive. Not just looping, not just evolving, but genuinely breathing as a world of its own. Instead of relying on samples or fixed recordings, it uses procedural audio, sound generated in real time through algorithms, to let each layer respond, shift, and intertwine like living matter.
Because every layer is synthesized at the moment you hear it, they can balance themselves, lean into each other, or gently collide in ways that feel organic and unpredictable. Mist, pulse, liquid motion, digital sparks, a whisper behind a veil - each one is its own environment, yet together they form a single, continuous dimension.
And that's the heart of HollowTone: a place where textures drift like fog, pulses echo through unseen structures, and strange atmospheres unfold with the quiet logic of dreamworlds and liminal spaces. You don't just listen to it. You step into it, and it keeps reshaping itself around you, endlessly."

4-Track Groovebox on the M-VAVE FM-1?! | Sloop Custom Firmware Jam
video upload by Noob Tones
"Turning the M-VAVE FM-1 into a 4-track groovebox with the Sloop custom firmware.
Sloop completely changes the FM-1 workflow, giving you a compact groovebox setup with 4 tracks — 3 synths and 1 drum machine, plus real-time performance controls and effects.
For this jam, I recorded the FM-1 into Logic Pro, then added a little extra analog character using Magma Channel Stripand Abbey Road J37 Tape.
The goal was to keep the performance feeling raw and live, while adding a bit more warmth, saturation, and tape-style texture in the final mix.

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

AstroLab 2.0: It's a Proper Synth Now?
video upload by Sineway
"AstroLab 2.0 goes straight at the biggest criticism of the AstroLab: that it's just a preset player, not a proper synth. The headline feature is Sound Edit, which gives you real synth parameters like envelopes, filter and glide right from the front panel, and you don't need a computer or the V Collection license to use it. So is the AstroLab still just a keyboard full of presets, or is it starting to become something else?
Arturia gave me early access to the update, so I've had time to dig into it before release. In this video I show how Sound Edit changes from preset to preset depending on the engine underneath, revisit the AstroLab vs MiniFreak question now that both instruments have changed, and play some of the presets in a musical context.

Oficina de Sonido Clave: A Fun and Portable Drum Sampler with Euclidean Sequencer
video upload by Limbic Bits
"Clave by Oficina de Sonido is a Euclidean Drum machine, a portable musical instrument with a percussion sequencer based on one-shot samples. Its strenghts lay less in complex and deep sound design but rather in fast results, spontaneity, and lucky accidents. I find it really fun to use and it is a great little device to take on stage or for spontaneous jam sessions."

Your LFO isn’t as boring as you think
video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk
"LFOs are classic synthesis building blocks. But just because your LFO creates classic waveforms, doesn’t meant you have to stick to using those. With a few simple techniques and tools, you can get a lot more creative. In this video I show how to make complex LFO shapes and modulation patterns."

Free Korg NX5R Editor Librarian | Web MIDI Patch Manager
video upload by Ian Dixon
"The Korg NX5R is a very 90s multitimbral sound module, and in this video I demonstrate my free browser-based editor and librarian for it.
The editor runs locally in the browser using Web MIDI, so there is no cloud upload or server-side processing. You can connect to the NX5R, read the user bank, browse factory and user sounds, manage multitimbral parts, edit program parameters, work with filters, envelopes, LFOs, effects sends and oscillators, then save libraries or export SysEx for later.
It is still a beta tool, but it already makes the NX5R much easier to use for sound browsing, patch editing and library management.

Redshift 6 - Acid House
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"In this demo, we create some chill ’90s acid house sounds using the Redshift 6, exploring its different Characters and internal sequencer. All synth sounds come from the Redshift 6, and everything is sequenced using its internal sequencers.
00:00 Intro
00:15 Creating the Pad

06:00 Bass synth
08:13 Sequencing the Bass line
10:12 Creating the Acid Synth
11:28 Sequencing the Acid Synth
14:40 Creating the Lead Synth
16:20 Sequencing the Lead Synth
20:05 Polyrhythmic Sequences
21:55 The Demo Jam
Redshift 6 features an analogue 4-pole multimode filter whose behaviour changes depending on the selected Character.
The Characters cover different analogue filter responses:
Liquid – Classic -24 dB filter with a wide sweet spot and smooth, spacey resonance
Crisp – Bright -12 dB State Variable Filter
Fat – Classic -24 dB ladder filter
Mean – Highly unstable -12 dB filter with bad behaviour and distortion
Sour – -18 dB squelchy Silver Box filter
Characters affect the behaviour of the whole synthesizer, including filter response, oscillator drift, and envelope behaviour."

Alesis A6 soundset demo
video upload by David Bessell
"A Demo of some sounds from a set of 93. Taken from my personal collection, some of these were used in Node and the rest come from my solo albums. No external FX used although most of these would benefit from added FX from better sources than the internal FX which are a bit dated by todays standards. (Think 80's - 90's quality digital FX). If you would like the full set of 93 they are available for a small handling charge of £10. Just mail me at dbssll@aol.com to let me know you want to purchase and send the payment to me at that address on paypal. Once I have payment confirmed at paypal you will receive the file via your email."
