Synthstrom Deluge // Laid back beat

video upload by Dexba

"I can never say no to a lo-fi beat on the Deluge; it has this distinct sound quality that invites me to keep it softer and relaxed (it must be the Boards of Deluge presets too).

The Arpeggiator functions are just so cool, especially with the current 1.3 firmware, where I can use the four buttons under the screen to navigate through the menu pages.

But the firmware being still in beta also meant for some reasons the Swing function wasn't working on this project, and being a quick jam during #jamuary I didn't have time to troubleshoot the situation 😄

That's on me though, there is really nothing bad to say about the Deluge as an instrument and a community around it. Will 2026 be the year I become more comfortable with its many functions?

Proceeding slowly but steadily :)

Chase Bliss Clean is there for a little bit of gentle polish (I know the Deluge already has a compressor, but since I got it in the Mystery Box last year, I am trying to leverage it more ahah), and Generation Loss mk2 is probably the pedal I use the most with the Deluge, exactly because what I was saying in the beginning: enhancing the lo-fi, laid back approach.

I hope you'll like it! 🧡

Random 42-Step Phrases and Dissolving Layers | Monolithic System 2026-01-13 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"It is a minimal music work in which a randomly played 42-step phrase repeats, layers of sound gradually accumulate, and finally dissolve toward the end.

On the OP-1 field, a 42-step phrase is entered into the ENDLESS sequencer and played back with random variation. During the performance, the timbral envelope and filter effects are adjusted in real time.

On the Novation Circuit, a simple synth phrase is looped while filter and sound parameters are manipulated. The output is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY, adding reverb and shaping the sound into a lo-fi texture. At certain moments, synth pads are also played live using the Circuit’s pads.

Toward the end of the track, the delay feedback on the OP-1 field is increased while deep reverb from the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky is applied, allowing the piece to fade out gradually."

Gentle Synth Layers and Delayed Piano | Weaver’s Shadow 2026-01-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88, and CBX-K1XG.
It is a composition where gentle synthesizer tones are layered with delay-soaked piano sounds.

On the Prophet-10, slow-attack synth pads are performed and processed with reverb and filtering using the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

The CP-88 is used to play piano with its built-in delay and reverb.

On the CBX-K1XG, string sounds are performed and processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, adding reverb and delay.

The Moog One plays soft, low-attack synth pads with a generous amount of reverb applied via its master effects.

The Nord Lead provides additional synth pad layers, processed with reverb using the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

As the layered synthesizer sounds gradually overlap and fade away, the piano weaves through the space, filling the gaps between them."

Piano, Noise Textures, and Synth Pads | Organic Substance 2026-01-05 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, a custom-built noise box, and a tape loop.
It is an ambient electronica composition built from piano sounds, everyday noises, and noise-infused synth pads.

On the Prophet-10, noise-tinged synth pads are performed while reverb is applied using the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

The noise box is connected to ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, where delay and reverb are added.
The noise box itself includes springs, kalimba-like metal plates, and steel bars, which generate physical and metallic textures.

On the tape player, a one-minute endless tape contains a pre-recorded piano performance.
While the tape is playing, delay is applied using the ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE. Toward the end of the piece, the delay feedback is increased to create a lingering resonance."

Suiko ST-20 + Chase Bliss Reverse Mode C // DAY 4 #jamuary2026

video upload by Dexba

"I love everything about this combo, from the colors to the subtle lo-fi nature of the sound (I am using the halved sample rate on the RMC).
I also like the Suiko for its limited sound palette and the fixed, exotic (to me) scales, which force me to find my way around them or within them or both.
I hope you'll like it! 🧡

This time, no affiliate links, because the Suiko hasn't been in production for the past 40 years, and the Chase Bliss pedal is also not in production ;)

"This piece was created using the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, COLOUR PALETTE, and EP-133 K.O.II.
It is a minimal music composition built from echoing kalimba tones, looping electric piano harmonies, and sustained string textures.

On the EP-133 K.O.II, data noise samples are played and further processed using Punch-in FX and the ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-3 looper, adding additional layers of transformation.

The LOTTIE CANTO COLOUR PALETTE applies delay using its built-in effects, then passes through the MOOD MKII, where additional delay is added and micro-loop textures are generated.

On the OP-1 field, a 20-step electric piano harmony is looped using the ENDLESS sequencer.
The timbre is shaped with the filter, and reverb is applied using the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky, creating a spacious and cohesive soundscape."

Nexus - New Generative Sequencer for Norns // Nymphes // Oto Bim & Boum // Chase Bliss Onward

video upload by Lesjamusic

"Nexus is here. A generative chord-based sequencer for monome Norns that I've been teasing in recent videos.

In this demo, Nexus is driving a Dreadbox Nymphes via MIDI. The signal chain: Nymphes → Oto Bim → Oto Boum → Chase Bliss Onward → Chase Bliss CXM 1978.

Nexus lets you select from a 15-chord diatonic palette while a probabilistic engine triggers notes from within each chord. Two rows on the Grid let you play along in the current scale. There's also bass and sub-bass sequencers that fire root notes on chord changes.

The script outputs MIDI and Crow CV/Gate - so it'll work with pretty much any setup.

Built entirely with Claude Code.

Polynomial - Norns Synthesizer built with AI // Oto Bim & Boum // Chase Bliss Onward

video upload by Lesjamusic

"Polynomial - a new phase modulation synthesizer for Monome Norns featuring Chebyshev polynomial waveshaping, instability systems, and deep modulation capabilities.

Built using Claude code. This 24-minute piece explores the sonic range of Polynomial through its preset system, moving between clean melodic tones, textured drones, glitchy rhythmic patterns, and layered ambient soundscapes.

Signal Chain:
Monome Norns (Polynomial) → Chase Bliss Onward → Oto Bim → Oto Boum → Chase Bliss CXM 1978

The performance uses Polynomial's 12-preset Grid system to shift between radically different tones - from warm pads to aggressive leads, chaotic textures to pristine bells. Long delay times on the Onward allow sounds to layer and evolve, while quick preset changes create glitchy, stuttering textures.

Polynomial Features:
Phase modulation synthesis with 4 operator waveforms
40 Chebyshev polynomial transfer functions for harmonic shaping
Multimode filtering with envelope and keyboard tracking
Dual LFO modulation with chaos/feedback control
Instability system for organic variation
Sub-oscillator, noise source, lo-fi bit crushing
Grid interface for instant preset switching
Arc interface for gestural parameter control
Animated particle field visualization

Release:
Polynomial will be available soon for Monome Norns.
