This 1982 Synth Plays Chords With One Finger

video upload by BellaBell

"This synth lets you play full chords with just one finger.

The Korg Poly-61 was released in 1982 and was likely one of the first synthesizers to feature Chord Memory.

Paired with a vintage Boss DR-110 drum machine."

Morning Ambient Session | Machinedrum, SEQTRAK & Analog Four

video upload by Hideo Nakasako

"A slow and meditative morning ambient session built around the gentle rhythms of the Elektron Machinedrum. Layered with drifting textures from the YAMAHA SEQTRAK and deep pads and arpeggios from the Analog Four.

Created for quiet mornings, coffee, and slow moments.

ゆっくりと流れるリズムと淡いテクスチャーを重ねた、朝のアンビエントセッションです。

Headphones recommended."

Easter Perfourmance MkII

video upload by Tim Shoebridge

"Happy Easter! Here in the UK we get a 4-day weekend, such a wonderful treat. For the very first time this year I've actually had enough spare time to sit in my studio for an hour, just relax, look around for a synth I haven't played in ages, and noodle on a keyboard for the fun of doing it. This little snippet of music was the outcome, noodling on a very special synth, the Vermona Perfourmer MkII. Effects are courtesy of two of my most favourite pedals, the Boss RE-202 and the Erica Synths Nightverb (well, the Nightverb is a desktop unit rather than a pedal but you get the gist!)"

Rhodes and Prophet-10 Simple Recording Track | Warm arms 2026-03-19 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A track created with Rhodes MKII, Prophet-10, OP-1 field, drums, and bass. It is built from simple performance and recording.

The Rhodes MKII is played with chorus from the CE-5. After recording, it is processed through Lofi Tape in the DAW.

On the Prophet-10, a synth lead is performed while switching patches during playback.

On the OP-1 field, sampled voice is played with the FAZOR effect. It is further processed through MOOD MKII with reverb and MicroLoop.

The bass is recorded through a BASS DRIVER DI. The drums are recorded separately and edited in the DAW, then processed as a group through Lofi Tape."

Repair Report: BOSS DR-55 Dr. Rhythm Foot Switch Restoration

This one is in via supporting member GreyScale aka plantssystem who had the following to say:

Restoring a Classic: BOSS DR-55 Foot Switch Jack Replacement

"The BOSS DR-55 is a staple of early 80s minimal wave and synth-pop, but its plastic jacks are often a point of failure after four decades."

The Issue

The unit arrived with a missing original foot switch jack, rendering remote Start/Stop operations impossible. To ensure a rugged and reliable fix, I decided to upgrade the component rather than searching for a rare vintage plastic replacement.

The Solution: Switchcraft 12A

I opted for a Switchcraft 12A 1/4" Mono Jack (Shorting/Tip-Shunt). This is a classic choice for vintage gear due to its high-quality metal construction and reliability.

* Fit: The Switchcraft 12A fits the DR-55 chassis, though it requires careful grounding to the metal frame/PCB common.

* Wiring: Wired specifically to handle the DR-55's Start/Stop trigger logic.

Results

The repair was a total success. The unit now responds perfectly to a standard momentary foot switch.

* Start: Functional.

* Stop: Functional.

* Reliability: The metal Switchcraft jack provides a much more secure connection than the original plastic housing.

This DR-55 is now back in the studio, ready for another 40 years of 16-step sequences.

Moog Subharmonicon + Boss RE-202 // Beautiful Harmony

video upload by Dexba

"I don't usually play the Subharmonicon, but when I do, I get lost for hours in this delicate balance of over (and under) tones.
The Roland/Boss RE-202, which some people call the most faithful recreation of the RE-201, fills the gaps, in an awesome synthetic glue.
I hope you'll like it! 🧡"

BOSS SDE-3 Dual Delay Demo with Synths (no talking)

video upload by Bonedo Synthesizers

"In this video we check out the BOSS SDE-3 Dual Delay — a classic digital delay pedal that’s equally useful for synth rigs as it is for guitars. With two independent delay lines and intuitive controls, it lets you craft everything from tight slapbacks and dotted rhythms to lush, ambient repeats that enhance your synth textures.

We take a look at how its routing options and flexible timing settings can add depth and movement to pads, leads and sequences, making it a great creative tool for sound designers and live performers alike."
