DYSTOPIA 4 for Arturia MiniFreak | One Shot Dark Improvisation

video upload by ULTIMATE X SOUNDS | Premium Synth Presets

"When you sit down with a synth at 1 PM and don't finish until deep into the night... it means you've become a hostage. You've been completely consumed by its world. I'm glad I managed to pull you into my world too. This video was recorded in one continuous shot... no edits. It’s just another proof that when the sound is right, it speaks for itself." – MR X

• 45 experimental, out-of-the-box presets
• Full compatibility: Arturia MiniFreak (Hardware) & MiniFreak V (Software - Update 4.0)

Arturia Polybrute12 - emotional & downplayed patches - no rock n roll or acid house, but lot of love

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"Seven and a half minuter of me going through a few of my latest patches on the Arturia PolyBrute 12. I have been trying to get into it, by making a few patches every evening, while the family watches tv. And it is weird, I always start with the init patch, which is like the least inspiring init patch I have ever heard. It is just dead. I should really make a new init patch, as I spend a few minutes menu-diving, switching to the same settings every time...

I have a weird relationship with this synth - I don't enjoy working with it very much, but whenever I record it, it just shines in its own grungy way, lofi and vintage way. It just have this wonderful downplayed vintage character (likely because I felt like climbing mountains to get it to sing the way I like it.

Anyway... No talking. Just patches.

The main theme right now seems to be semi-haunting keyboard sounds. It is likely a result of me spending as much time as possible at the moment with DSP development and plugin creation - no time playing the piano. So it is kind of trying to get the same feeling I get when I play piano by myself, but in patches.

No external effects or processing - recorded straight to a Zoom H6 field recorder - so it won't get more true than this.

If you’re here for clean, polite polysynth vibes, this is not that. It never is with me. This is just about feeling, hearts breaking in empty wastelands."

Testing 9 Experimental Pedal Combinations – Ambient, Loops & Sound Design

video upload by A Last Picture From Voyager

"In this video, I test 9 experimental guitar pedal combinations for ambient loops, textures, and sound design.
If you feel stuck using the same pedals in the same way, experimenting with new pedal chains can unlock fresh ideas.
Even without the same pedals, this walkthrough can help you imagine new ways to use your own gear for ambient and experimental music.

Let me know in the comments if any of these combinations sparked new ideas for you.

00:00 Glitch loop into sliced loop - Stamme[n] + Count To 5
01:15 Random pitched loop into modulated filter - Phantom Limb + Riemman's Grave
02:57 Pitched freeze and sound degradation - Onward + Lossy
04:27 Filter into delay effect loop - Taken + Hosta
05:07 Modulation into Freeze synth effect loop - Superego + Shallow Water
06:23 Time stretching into dynamic pitched freeze - Stamme[n] + Onward
07:50 Time stretching into k-field modulation - Stamme[n] + Shallow Water
08:54 Random pitched loop into resonatr reverb - Phantom Limb + Transmisser
10:13 Error glitch into Time stretching - Onward + Stamme[n]

ARTURIA ASTROLAB 37 DEMO

video upload by elz production

"AstroLab is less a synth and more an idea machine—a source of instant inspiration, perfect for grabbing a sound and running with it. The lack of deep editing is a trade-off for speed and variety. If you’re the type who wants to modulate an LFO with another LFO, look elsewhere. But if you want to make music now and worry about the details later, the AstroLab 37 is a serious contender. As always, the real magic—and a few quirks—are best experienced., let the jams and sound demos do the talking."

Starsky Carr's Studio: Vintage & Modern Synth Setup Explained

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Welcome to a full synth studio tour — a look inside my hardware setup featuring vintage analog synths, modern wavetable instruments, modular gear and classic drum machines.

See how a mix of vintage synths, modern instruments, modular gear and drum machines all come together in one integrated setup. In this video I walk through the studio, explain how everything is connected, and show some of the instruments that regularly appear on the channel.

The studio is constantly evolving as new synths arrive, others get repaired, and different setups are tested for videos. In this walkthrough you'll see how classic gear like the Juno-60, Prophet series, Minimoog, TR-808, TR-909 and Jupiter synths sit alongside modern instruments such as the UDO Super 8, Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave, Waldorf M, Arturia PolyBrute and Roland System-8.

I also explain how everything is routed through the studio — from CV-controlled vintage synths integrated with MIDI, to the AudioFuse interface and Neve summing mixer that handle the audio side of things.

If you've ever wondered how to organise a hardware synth studio, integrate vintage CV instruments with modern DAWs, or just want to see a room full of iconic synths and drum machines, this video gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the setup behind the channel.

You’ll also hear a few stories along the way — including the slightly ridiculous “six degrees of separation” link from my studio gear to Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon through the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels soundtrack.

Whether you're into analog synthesis, wavetable synths, modular gear, or classic drum machines, this studio tour is packed with gear, ideas and inspiration.

Gear featured (selection)

• Roland Juno-60
• Roland Jupiter series
• Moog Minimoog, Voyager % Sub37
• Sequential Prophet synths
• Oberheim OBX8 and OB6
• UDO Super 8
• Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave
• Waldorf M
• Arturia PolyBrute
• Roland System-8
• TR-808 / TR-909 drum machines
• Analog Solutions Leipzig & Fusebox
• Modular & Eurorack gear"

Fragments Vol 2 - Arturia Minifreak V - Patches 33 to 64 (of 64)

video uploads by GEOSynths

"Out Now - https://www.geosynths.com/arturia-min...

Fragments Vol 2 contains 64 new Patches for both the Hardware and the Software Plug-In. In the Demo the Audio is coming from the Plug-In, not the Hardware, though there really is very little difference, if any.

All Controllers (where applicable) are being utilized and have mappings, so Macro Functions may have a single or multiple Functions, as well as the Mod Wheel.

There are lots of textured Pads and Strings, thanks to the added Samples and Granular functions, which I have used extensively, as well as the varied Synthesis methods/Oscillator types.

Bass and Lead, lots of Synth Keys and so much more, including Arpeggios and Sequences, most of which have Tempo synced LFO's etc. This is the 2nd Video demonstrating Patches 33 to 64.

The Patches are played in the order I made them, though in the software they are loaded alphabetically."

Exit Earth 🌍 (Roland SE-02 // S-1 // TR-6S // Cre8audio Boom Chick // Arturia Minifreak // Hapax)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"In this video, I keep exploring the Hapax sequencer’s capabilities even more:
Program changes to switch between different presets (TR-6S and Minifreak)
Automation (enabling and disabling MIDI LFOs controlling parameters on the SE-02)
MIDI effects: Arpeggiator, LFO, Randomizer, Output, Scaler, Swing, etc.
Modulation
Fill button used to make drum breaks, mute some tracks etc.
Conditions for notes to play when a certain condition is met...

All 5 instruments in this jam are being sequenced by the Hapax.

The little trick I used here is that, thanks to the Hapax' MIDI Output plugin, the BASS track or the ARP track can sequence the S1, depending on which MIDI Output plugin I've enabled.

⚠️ Heads up: I miswired the Minifreak, so it’s totally out of phase - if you listen in mono, it’ll disappear. 👻"

Arturia Buchla Easel: Modular Presets + Patterns. Demo Jam

video upload by Anton Anru

"🧬 Genome Patterns is a collection of 64 patches with sequences for Arturia Buchla Easel V. The bank of presets contains dark, deep, atmospheric, harsh and aggressive sounds that have a wide range of uses: from cinematic to modular techno sequences.
🌪️ The soundset is inspired by the biology, cosmic vibe, and modular sounds.
Perfect for Techno, Industrial, Dub, IDM, Experimental, Cinematic and others.

📦 Get these sounds: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/ease...
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).

🧪 All sequences are in the RUN mode, allowing you to change the pitch while playing. Sequences also play in a loop, so they can only be stopped by pressing stop in your DAW or by turning the synth's volume down.
You can use the patterns in playback mode or record them separately and work creatively with the audio file.

🎚️ Each patch is performance-ready, with ModWheel assignments mapped for expressive control and making the preset brighter.

💡 Compatible with Arturia Buchla Easel and Analog Lab.
Contains .mex (Easel) and .labx (Lab) versions.
Make sure you are using the latest software/firmware version.

🔔 Minifreak, Pigments, and Buchla Easel presets can be imported into Arturia Analog Lab V.
If you like these sounds but don’t have Minifreak, Easel or Pigments and only own the Analog Lab V plugin, you can still purchase these sets and load them into Analog Lab V."
