Rise Me 🌅 (Arturia Minifreak // Roland J6 Chord Synth + H90 with new granular effect // TR6S)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"Happy New Year my friends! 🎹🔊
May 2026 bring you endless jams, wild synth waves, and machines that push the limits of what's possible. Thanks for jamming with me—here's to more electronic adventures ahead!
For this first jam of 2026, after having used the Arturia Minifreak as only instrument in my 2 last videos, I wanted to try it with a couple of other instruments. In this jam, only the DRUMS (TR-6S) have been sequenced, I'm playing the BASS (Minifreak) and CHORDS (J-6) in real-time 😉
The jam starts with me triggering some CHORDS on the J-6 and adding the cool new granular effect (Grainmod) from the Eventide H90 pedal.
I then fade in the DRUMS and finally play the BASS in real-time.
I'm using the AUTO FILL feature of the TR-6S so that there's a break at the end of each 8-measure.
** Hardware used **
// 🥁 DRUMS:
Roland TR-6S (Digital Rhythm Performer)
// 🎸 BASS:
Arturia Minifreak (polyphonic hybrid keyboard with dual digital sound engines and analog filters)
// 🎹 PADS:
Roland J-6 (Chord sequencer with the tones of the renowned JUNO-60 synth)"

Arturia AstroLab 37 | Ambient explorations
video upload by Jay Hosking
"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Exploring the Arturia AstroLab 37 using a variety of its sounds.
00:00 - Piano
01:13 - Pad, soft to bright
05:01 - Bass arp and effects
06:51 - Stunning electric piano
09:07 - Synth string arp
10:28 - Two cinematic hits
10:43 - Vocals and percussion
12:11 - Classic synth
14:00 - Vowelly pad
15:41 - Guitar goodbye
I bought the Arturia AstroLab 37. It can make a huge variety of sounds, many of which aren't a part of my setups already. It sounds really good, as you might imagine. Being able to add piano, electric piano, mellotron, strings, etc. to my songs will allow me to expand the music I make on the table.
The biggest drawback is currently that there is such a large amount of presets I'll never touch on it. I need to basically delete all the presets off it and replace them with Arturia Collection sounds I like. But of course, that's a huge and daunting task.
Anyway, I really like what I was getting out of the AstroLab 37 and can imagine using it in a variety of setups. That said, sometimes what I imagine isn't what actually happens. I should let the future jams do the talking.
Thanks for listening.
Recorded live to a stereo output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Exponential ⤴️ (Arturia Minifreak) #onesynthonly #fromscratch
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"2nd video with the Arturia Minifreak hybrid (digital/analog) synth, with a OneSynthOnly jam (after the first video where I used 5 instances of the Minifreak in multi-track: • Cinefreak 📽️ (Arturia Minifreak // Conduct... 😉)
The jam starts with me recording in step mode a sequence.
Then the sequence is being played with me tweaking some parameters like adding delay, fading-in the second oscillator (superwave), modulating the analog filter etc.
In the second half of the video, I switched to the mode where I can transpose in real-time the sequence recorded (i.e. you can no longer play over the sequence, when you press on a key, it transposes the whole sequence to this key). What is really cool is that Arturia added the Scale feature which I really love, thus making it possible to transpose within a defined scale like on the Keystep Pro! 🤩"

Keystep MKII explored musically
video upload by mylarmelodies
"What does Keystep MKII SOUND like to make music with? In this video I'll make some music with Keystep MKII, capturing its MIDI on my Cirklon sequencer - trying Keystep MKII's core features to make all the melodies in the video. What does Mutate sound like? Spice? Etc. So you can see what it might be like as a master keyboard for your jams.
Thanks to Arturia themselves for funding a vid demo of Keystep. Keysteps continue to be really useful/inspiring keebs (and given how many folks use them I think you probably know that)."

Cinefreak 📽️ (Arturia Minifreak ; Conductive Labs NDLR Sequencer) #OneSynthOnly
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"My first video with the Arturia Minifreak! What and amazing and versatile synth! Was really impressed of how it sounds and all the features it has in such a small form factor 🤩
As usual, I recorded this jam only a couple of hours after getting the Minifreak, it's really very easy to get started with!
However it did take me a lot of time to record all the parts in multitrack (though it is a OneSynthOnly jam), mix the audio and edit the video, really hope you'll enjoy it ☺️
Here's how I proceeded:
I first "played" the NDLR sequencer and recorded the MIDI notes on 4 different tracks for the BASS (= DRONE track on the NDLR), PADS, MOTIF-1 and MOTIF-2.
Then I sent the MIDI notes from each track to the Minifreak and tweaked the knobs etc. in real-time (except for the LEAD part which I played throughout in real-time).
** Hardware used **
// BASS, PADS, MOTIF-1, MOTIF-2, LEAD
Arturia Minifreak (polyphonic hybrid keyboard with dual digital sound engines and analog filters)
// SEQUENCER
Conductive Labs NDLR (MIDI Four-track, Sequenced Arpeggiator, Chord and Drone Player)"

California's Shortest State Highway! State Route 153 (Gold Country)
video upload by CatSynth TV
"We take a quick ride along 'California's shortest state highway', State Route 153. It runs a half mile in total from a junction with CA 49 in Coloma, California to Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park. The park commemorates the discovery of gold by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in 1848, which sparked the California Gold Rush, and features a large monument and statue of Marshall.
Although CA 153 is labeled as the 'shortest', there are a few routes that are de facto shorter, such as CA 77 in Oakland and CA 275 in Sacramento.
The accompanying music features the following instruments:
iOptigan, with 'Bluegrass Banjo' sound set
Cherry Audio Mercury 8
Arturia Piano V and Stage 73 V
EastWest Fab Four and Stormdrum 2
BFD Drums v3"

Arturia sound design masterclass | 27 November 2025
video upload by Signal Sounds
"** Note: unfortunately, thanks to a corrupted SD card, we only have clean audio for the first 35 minutes or so of this session - it switches to the backup room mic for the remainder. Apologies for the drop in sound quality, hopefully it doesn't detract too much from the content! **
Our final in-store event of 2025 was a sound design masterclass from Arturia's Tom Lewis, who used a PolyBrute 12 to give a crash course in subtractive analogue synthesis and revealed some tips for creating pads, basses and leads on any polysynth.
PolyBrute 12 is available here:
