DX5 performing The Human League "The Sound of the Crowd"


video upload by DX5

"A simple but interesting song not much known by the early days of The Human League V2 (when the female vocalists joined). If you don't know the original version, check it out. I found it catchy, specially the chorus. So I decided to pick my two analogues plus the JP8000 and give it a try
Gear used.
Left:
Roland MRS2 Promars: single VCO bass (and extra sub bass on backtrack)
Roland JP8000: Cross Mod lead
Right:
Korg Polysix: Sawtooth lead

Backtrack previously recorded, instrument by instrument, on Pro Tools (just drums and the extra sub bass, plus a JX-8P on final pads).
Original song composed by Phil Oakey, Ian Burden.
Performed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bara"

More Colossus Percussion via the Europa XOX Sequencer


video upload by rezfilter

"More Colossus percussion madness, all driven by the Europa XOX style sequencer. Each trigger pad on the Europa hits a different percussion voice inside the mighty Colossus—kicks, metallic cracks, filtered noise, zap tones. Every sound is generated by the Colossus. This is live, tweaking the double stack as envelopes, filters, and VCAs react in real-time. No samples."

Summer 😎 (Moog Minitaur + Boum // LXR 02 // Nymphes + S 1 + Timeline // Streichfett // Keystep Pro)


video upload by

"Last 'long' video before a summer break (I'll be eventually uploading some 'Shorts' during July 😉)

It's been quite some time that I didn't make a "from scratch" video, so here we go again! (See all my "From scratch" videos) [embed below]

On the setup side on the sequencer (Keystep Pro), before recording:
I defined the tempo and number of bars of each track
I setup the scale (Dorian)
I setup the tracks I wanted to be transposed in real-time (tracks 2 = Minitaur and 3 = Streichfett).

The video starts with the recording on Track 2, of the BASS line (Moog - Minitaur), then on Track 3 the CHORDS/STRINGS (Waldorf - Streichfett), on Track 1 the DRUMS (Sonic Potions x Erica Synths - LXR-02), on Track 4 the ARP (Dreadbox - Nymphes + Strymon Timeline delay).
I recorded part of the DRUMS in real-time, and the KICK in step mode (hence being able to setup randomness on some steps and conditions too, i.e. the step plays on the fourth time it's triggered only...)"

PERCUSS Siren demo


video upload by

"PERCUSS is a percussion synthesizer. It can create not only synthesizer percussion reminiscent of the 80s and siren sounds, but also modern drum sounds. It has an oscillator with six modes, two envelopers, a five mode LFO, a white noise generator, an Euclidean clock divider and an overdrive.

Introducing Mörser: Djupviks’ Stereo WASP Filter with Digital Noise // Part 1


video upload by Lesjamusic

"Part 1 of a 2 part series introducing the Mörser filter from ​⁠​⁠​⁠‪@vikingsade‬ Djupviks Elektronik.

Mörser takes the wildest analogue synth filter from the the EDP Wasp, and dials up the noise, grit and chaos to 11. In stereo.

Mörser is a stereo filter with low pass, band pass, independent resonance and shared cutoff (and CV). There’s distortion outputs for some extra gnarl, and a clocks digital noise source, hardwired to both the inputs and the CV.

This video explores the basic sounds and functions paired with an analogue VCO. I’ll share a video next week with some more creative patching and different sound sources."

Crossover w/ Rhodes MK2, Prophet-10, nord lead, Grandmother | Excitement 2025-06-28 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A crossover track featuring Rhodes MK2, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother, where breakbeats intertwine with electric-piano and synth lines.

Rhodes MK2: Runs through a ‪@BOSSinfoglobal‬ BOSS CE-5 chorus, then the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATIONcha LOSS MK II for tape-style lo-fi warmth.

Nord Lead: Plays the main synth lead, treated with reverb from ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

Prophet-10: Swaps patches on the fly, adding abstract synth textures and additional leads.

Grandmother: Handles the bass line."

Dr. Endo explores LIVEN Evoke: DAWN


video upload by SONICWARE

"LIVEN Evoke | Acoustronic Synthesizer with Granular Effect
https://sonicware.jp/pages/liven-evoke

DAWN

As light slowly breaks through the darkness of night—
a hopeful morning quietly begins to rise.
I jammed this piece on the LIVEN Evoke, imagining it as a scene from a film.

The drone is built on a cello, layered with a SAW PAD waveform using the Harmonic Wave parameter,
moving gently to support the space with a quiet, understated presence.

Chords are softly played on an oboe, while the violin uses a string ensemble-style waveform pitched one octave down,
adding a grounded presence that stands out quietly in the mix.

The piano plays a repeating phrase sent through GRAIN FX.
The FX is set to fifth-aligned mode, allowing grains to extend up to two octaves above.
These small, rounded grains roll and shimmer through the space—like scattered particles of morning light.

Yu Endo

---
夜の暗闇の中に、少しずつ光が差し込み、やがて希望の朝を迎えつつある。
そんな映画のワンシーンをイメージして、LIVEN EvokeでJamってみました。

ドローンはチェロにHarmonic WaveパラメータでSAW PAD波形を重ねて、
ゆっくりとした動きで空間を静か目に支えています。

コードはオーボエで柔らかく重ね、バイオリンにはストリングスアンサンブル系の波形を使用し、1オクターブ下で鳴らすことで、静かな中にも芯のある存在感を持たせました。

ピアノはリフレインしながらGRAIN FXにSENDしてます。GRAIN FXは5度アラインで、2オクターブ上までのグレインが発生する設定にしており、コロコロと細かく丸みのある粒が、まるで朝の光の粒のように空間に散っていく感じを狙っております。
