AUTECHRE - Yulquen (COVER - Nord Lead 2X)

video upload by nicola neeco

"I recreated 'Yulquen' by Autechre as faithfully as possible, using only a Nord Lead 2X and performing everything in a single take.

My goal was to get as close as I could to the original sound and feel, while staying fully committed to one instrument and one live performance.

This wasn’t about making a perfect copy: it was about studying the details, the movement, and the character of the track, then trying to bring that language to life through synthesis alone.

While I tried to stay as faithful as possible to the original sound world, I also gave myself the freedom to bend the harmony slightly, adding a few extra notes in the bass and letting the low end speak a little more. It’s still the same DNA, but with a small twist in the shadows.

Now I’m curious to know what you think: did the changes feel natural, or did they pull the track away from the original spirit?

Drop a comment and tell me if you like the new harmonic hints in the bass, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Web Based Online Editor for the Original Nord Modular

video upload by Peter van der Noord

"A short update on the browser based Nord Modular Editor that I am currently working on as a fun hobby project."

Additional details via https://nordmodulareditor.com where you can try it out yourself if you own an original Nord Modular:

"Nord Modular G1 Editor

Create, edit and (soon) share your Nord Modular patches with the community.

Some quick remarks:

This is still a very early version. A lot of things don't work or don't work correctly yet.
You should be able to edit patches, browse slots, add modules and cables, adjust parameters and load patches into a slot.
You probably want to run this in the Chrome browser, i haven't tested others.
I have only tested this with a Nord Modular Keys for now, I assume the Rack version will work the same but I don't know about the Micro. I assumed it would work the same but it appears that some people have issues getting it to connect.
Parameter values are often shown as their raw 0–127 values.
None of the displays work yet.
When something is wrong, updates don't come through, or communication seems to be stuck: refresh the page.
When using a trackpad, you probably want to use "scroll to pan" navigation. You can select this in the settings.
To add a module, drag it from the toolbar on top.
To delete a module or cable, select it and hit delete.
The tab key in the editor will toggle rendering cables behind or in front of the modules.
If you were following my personal YouTube channel for updates, please follow my other channel instead.
Feedback is much appreciated, but I don't have a proper way to do that yet.
This is a personal hobby project. I am not affiliated with or connected to Nord in any way.
Peter van der Noord"

This box turns sound into magic: RODEC Ministyler Demo

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Being a demo video I was very gladly hired to make explaining the RODEC & Sherman Ministyler filterbank. This is one of the best pieces of hardware I tried last year and I approached them to make this. Ministyler is like a baby stereo Sherman filterbank (yes, the '96 classic desktop filter) in a 'RODEC One' box with two slots for other 'RODEC One' modules, and is deceptive in depth despite how simple the panel looks. You'll hear it here mostly on drum machine - my favourite use I found - but also on Tenori-on & Nord Lead 2 with CV input used. It's nuts."

RetroSound Studio Tour: Vintage Digital Synthesizers

video upload by RetroSound

"RetroSound Studio Tour:
Legendary Vintage Digital & Hybrid Synthesizers of the 80s and early 90s

In this episode of RetroSound Studio, I explore classic digital synthesizers that revolutionized electronic music production during the 80s and early 90s. From FM synthesis and wavetable synthesis to vector synthesis, PD synthesis, vitual analog and Roland’s LA synthesis, these instruments introduced a new generation of sound design and defined the sonic identity of an era.

The Yamaha DX7 became one of the best-selling synthesizers of all time, defining FM electric pianos and metallic digital textures. The PPG Wave pioneered wavetable synthesis, laying the foundation for modern digital sound engines. The Sequential Prophet VS introduced vector synthesis, allowing dynamic blending between digital waveforms. The Roland D-50 shaped late-80s pop and film scoring with its LA synthesis architecture, while the Roland JD-800 brought hands-on control back to digital synthesis in the 1990s.

These digital synthesizers shaped genres such as synth-pop, new wave, ambient, house, techno, trance, and film music. Today, they remain highly sought after by producers, collectors, and sound designers researching vintage digital synthesizers, 80s keyboard sounds, virtual analog, classic FM synthesis, and wavetable history."

Why One Rhythm Is Never Enough — Inside Polyrhythm | Sound Mechanic 02

video upload by _marcozoppi

"| Sound Mechanics of Rhythm |
What happens when time stops agreeing with itself?
In this video, I explore polyrhythm inside a modular system.

This started as an exploration of external gear in Eurorack.
But it quickly became something else.

Because modular isn’t a closed system.
There is no real “outside.”

Everything that interacts with it—machines, signals, even us—becomes part of the same structure.

From that perspective, polyrhythm is not just a technique.
It’s what happens when multiple divisions of time coexist… without agreeing.

Evolving Tape Texture & Looping Glockenspiel Ambient | Parallel Lines 2026-02-18 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece where looping glockenspiel phrases and evolving tape-loop sound textures gradually transform over time.

Created using ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and tape loops.

The Nord Lead is connected to ‪@strymon‬ blueSky for reverb. One channel sustains a continuous tone, while the other two channels perform abstract melodic lines.

On the OP-1 field, a glockenspiel phrase is looped using the ENDLESS sequencer, with the built-in delay and reverb applied.

The tape loop contains a recorded piano performance. The playback speed of the tape player is reduced to half-speed, then processed through ‪@ChaseBliss‬ LOST+FOUND for reverb and delay, with parameters actively manipulated to shape the texture."

Here's my latest concoction from the studio featuring the Rhodes EK10 MKIII, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Stage 4, ‪@KorgOfficial‬ miniKORG 700fs, ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬ Polybrute, Hohner Clavinet E7 and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Minitaur. The Rhodes is going through the ‪@rhodesmusic‬ V-Pan plugin during most of the tune, with the solo section using a Line 6 Echo Park and ElectroHarmonix C0ckfight wah-wah pedal. The Nord is using "Swiss Lead" from J3PO's Nord Stage patches ‪@iamj3po‬ . The Clav is going through the Electroharmonix C0ckfight pedal as well. I programmed all drums and used Addictive Drums 2.

Ambient Electronica of Fading Synths and Sapporo soundscape | Fading Memories 2026-01-22 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP88, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and tape loops. Set against field recordings captured in snowy streets of Sapporo, electric piano and synthesizer sounds emerge and fade away, forming an ambient electronica composition.

The Prophet-10 is used to play synth pads, processed with reverb and delay via ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND.

Two tape loops are used. One contains a one-minute recording of an electric piano performance, while the other plays field recordings from the streets of Sapporo. The electric piano tape is played back on a ‪@WeAreRewind1‬ cassette player and processed with delay using ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE. The field recording tape is played on a Rock & Play cassette player, with the pitch lowered and further processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, where reverb and layered micro-loops deepen the pitch and texture.

The Moog One and Nord Lead are occasionally played to add synth pads. The Nord Lead is processed with reverb via ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

The CP88 plays a Rhodes sound, layering simple phrases with its built-in reverb and delay."

Simple Synth-Pop Crossover Session | Nobi 2026-01-19 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using ‪@KORG_INC‬ microKORG S, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP- field, and NTS-1, forming a simple synth-pop crossover track.

On the microKORG S, melodies are performed while switching between different patches. The output is processed with reverb via ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

The rhythm is handled by the OP-1 field, while the bass is played by the ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-1. Both are triggered via MIDI sent from Ableton Live.

Although it does not appear in the video, the Nord Lead is used to play harmonic parts, with reverb applied through ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus."
