"Quick demo/review of the resonant Filter Bank by Arica synth

Thank you for watching. My name is Meska of the statik collective . I've been making mostly 'dark and expérimental' music for more than ten years now, i'v learn so much online, now it's time for me to share my knoledge, my exploration and this channel is a place to talk about the tools, sound design and techniques to make music with. You can stream my albums and EPs at https://statikwave.bandcamp.com/. If you'd like to support the channel​ consider buying music from bandcamp ;) Contact/booking: meskastatik@gmail.com"

Exploring the Hexinverter / Erica Synths Mindphaser | Drone Sound Study

video upload by synthetic theory

"Yesterday was Drone Day and technically I'm one day late, because I didn't finish the post-processing in time. But anyway: this felt like the right moment to share something a little different.



I'm currently expanding my rack and learning how to operate a few new modules properly. One of them is the Hexinverter / Erica Synths Mindphaser. At first, I honestly wasn't completely convinced. I tried it, struggled to find the right tones, packed it back into the box and was already planning to send it back.



But then I gave it one more evening.



Instead of judging it too quickly, I tried to understand how it actually works. I slowed down, explored the interaction between the oscillators, the modulation paths, the waveshaping, and the strange areas between tone and chaos. And then the potential suddenly became clear.



Some modules simply need more attention. They have a learning curve and they don't always reveal themselves immediately. But once you reach that point of understanding, they can turn out to be real powerhouses.



So this is not one of my usual performance videos. It's more of a slow exploration: a drone-focused sound study with the Mindphaser at the center, sometimes shaped by effects, filtering, gates, and modulation.

Andreas Trobollowitsch // Live @ Erica Synths Garage

video upload by Erica Synths

"Andreas Trobollowitsch’s residency at Erica Synths Garage felt less like traditional sound design and more like an ongoing experiment in movement, texture and controlled unpredictability. A Vienna-based electroacoustic musician, composer and sound artist, Andreas works at the intersection of sound, visual art and mechanics - building self-developed instruments and exploring rotation, physical processes and unconventional ways of producing sound. During his stay, wooden turntables met drum machines, mechanical systems collided with synthesisers, and ideas developed through curiosity rather than fixed outcomes.

Erica Synths Resonant Filterbank Sound Demo

video upload by Erica Synths

"Performance and studio-ready analog stereo filterbank with ten bandpass filters and extensive feedback loop and stereo panning options. 9 takes with different instruments feeding the Filterbank.

Timeline:
00:02 - Take 1 "Something Sweet" / RES FB in CLOCK mode processing Bullfrog Drums synth pattern.
01:24 - Take 2 "Something Rough" / RES FB in FILTERBANK mode processing Hexdrums with resonance pushed to the max!
03:00 - Take 3 "Kalimboss" / KORG Kalimba resonating with RES FB in FILTERBANK mode.
04:33 - Take 4 "Stereo Fam" / MOOG DFAM processed with the RES FB in clock mode with a lot of SPREAD therefore adding a lot of "stereo space".
06:01 - Take 5 "Organ Time" / RES FB in CLOCK mode adding subtle stereo modulation to the DX7.
07:41 - Take 6 "Auto Bass" / RES FB in DYNAMIC EQ mode with extreme feedback settings generating bassline for the TR-505.
09:16 - Take 7 "Noisebox" / Droning with MC-303 and RES FB in VCF mode
11:33 - Take 8 "Bass n Drum" / Adding "weight" to the TORSO S-4 with RES FB in the Dynamic mode
13:24 - Take 9 "Doomscroller" / Processing bass guitar with Eearthquaker Overdrive pedal and RES FB in DYNAMIC EQ mode. Footswitch is used to bypass the RES FB."

Resonant VCF from just 7 basic parts #diysynth #electricalengineering

video upload by Moritz Klein

"Get LABOR: https://www.ericasynths.lv/edu-diy-labor/

This VCF uses fully saturated NPN transistors as makeshift voltage-controlled resistors in a simple RC lowpass setup. Chain two stages, feed the output back into the first stage’s capacitor, and it turns resonant without needing any extra parts. Move the input elsewhere in the circuit and you get a resonant high-pass, too.

BOM:
BC548 x2
33nF film capacitor x2
1M resistor x2
TL072 dual op amp x1"

Erica Synths Bullfrog Drums Review Demo and Manual

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Erica Synths Bullfrog Drums looks lie a toy but has hidden depths. In this video I give you a complete hands-on review, a live demo built from scratch, and a full manual walkthrough so you know exactly what this drum machine can do before you buy.

The Bullfrog Drums is the follow-up to the Bullfrog Synth — a collaboration between Erica Synths and Richie Hawtin, designed to be approachable for beginners but deep enough for professionals. Spoiler: it absolutely delivers on both fronts."

Turning the Perkons HD-01 Into a Drone Synth

video upload by Mark Cee

"Drone sounds never really appealed to me until I started studying textures. Over time I became drawn to the idea — and to the tools used to compose this way. What I didn't realize is that I've had a very capable drone synth right under my nose for the last 3 years.
The Perkons HD-01 is usually known as a drum machine, but each voice is so much more which makes it great for sustained, evolving textures. I tuned each voice and sent it all through my Meris Mercury X for reverb. I couldn't help adding a few notes from the OP-1 Field on top. After that I just jammed and was reminded how the simplicity of an instrument like this never grows old. It's been my buddy since the day it was released and still brings me a lot of joy to this day."

"Erica Synths debuted the Resonant Filterbank at this year's Superbooth show in Berlin, their new performance and studio production-friendly FX unit."

Superbooth 2026 Highlights | Voltage Labs

video upload by Voltage Labs

"This year at Superbooth, we found some seriously inspiring instruments - here are a few of our highlights. Soma showed one of the most forward-thinking instruments we came across, with a truly unique interface. Richie Hawtin and Erica Synths introduced the latest Bullfrog edition: Drums.
Buchla also caught our attention with Ziggy a compact new take on their iconic West Coast sound.
Polyend is aiming high with their new analog-digital hybrid drum machine, possibly their most ambitious project yet. And one of the most fascinating discoveries for us was Tembo: a wooden drum synthesizer that looks beautiful and sounds unlike anything else.

Interesting bits and pieces:

00:17 Buchla Ziggy
02:00 Soma Enigma
03:00 Superbooth & Schwarzmann (Live)
04:00 Erica Synth x Richie Hawtin´s Bullfrog

Erica Synths Syntrx II Review and Demo // Not just for Bleeps, Fizzes and Ambient Soundscapes

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Erica Synths Syntrx II is one of the most talked-about synthesizers of recent years — but three years on from its release, is it still worth your money? In this in-depth review and demo, I finally get hands-on with this modern spiritual successor to the legendary EMS VCS3 and EMS Synthi, and I want to bust two big myths: it's NOT as complicated as it looks, and it's NOT just a crazy sci-fi sound effects machine.
🎹 What's covered in this video:

-Syntrx II vs the original EMS VCS3 / EMS Synthi — key similarities and differences
-Syntrx II vs Syntrx I — what changed and why
-The 16x16 digital pin matrix explained simply
-Using the Syntrx II as a standard 3-oscillator monosynth
-The trapezoid (looping) envelope in practice
-All-analog signal path walkthrough
-Onboard 3-channel sequencer, DSP reverb and delay, envelope follower
FM, self-oscillation, noise modulation, and filter techniques
-Sample & hold circuit — how to set it up
-The joystick as an LFO / recording modulation source
-MIDI setup tips (offset fix, CC assignments for X and Y axes)
-Patch saving — what it DOES and DOESN'T save, and why it matters
-Honest pros and cons

🎵 Extended drone demo — 5 minutes of the Syntrx II running a single live patch with the trapezoid looping envelope, FM, noise, filter modulation via joystick, and DSP effects. The full version was over 10 minutes — it really is that good.

💷 Price context: Original EMS Synthis now sell for £24,000+. The Syntrx II comes in under £2,000. If you've ever wanted that Synthi sound without selling a kidney, this might be your answer."
