Progressive House | GS Music e7 Arpeggios | Zen Delay | TeknoBaby | Open Your Mind |


video upload by TeknoBaby

"Ended up being influenced by Trance again with the e7 doing arps. Haven't used the Mega FM for a while but it is great for dark and dubby sounds. Each note is alternately panned left and right which is cool."

Industrial experiment with Hexdrums, Xenodrive & the Echolocator


video upload by Richard DeHove

"This is an experiment. It started with the thought: "What if I took just two voices from Hexdrums and feed them as individual outs left and right into the Xenodrive?". That felt a little raw even for me so I then added the Echolocator after the Xeno. After hooking it up I had a joyous 30-minute "jazz odyssey" of which this is the still-very-long-for-pure-drums cutdown version.

All three machines are tweaked as a single control surface and I don't think any machine here is the star. They all do their bit. Since there's no unaffected sound keeping things stable the Xeno work is quite restrained compared with the complete destruction of which it's capable, and likewise the Echolocator stays reasonably tame.

Was there a lesson from all this? Perhaps it's just that trying odd combinations is fun. On a more practical level I can certainly see that various sections could be usefully sampled as loops. To that end I've put together a pack of 16bit 44KHz loops at 110bpm that are on my Patreon page. Many of them can be usefully split left and right for further processing.

As usual there is no DAW processing and the volume has all the ups and downs of the original.

Erica Synths Steampipe + Torso S4 // DAY 17 #jamuary2026


video upload by Dexba

"Perfectionism almost killed this video, and for a second, I forgot about the point of #jamuary I recorded, and recorded, and re-recorded, and a few days have passed, back and forth, because I care so much about this sound, this vibe, this balance.
I am not 100% satisfied, but I have to let it go, because otherwise I know for sure I will start to hate these chords, I will have to tweak the sounds once again, I will change the video, and so on.
But I do love the resulting vibe, and I will try my best to bring variations on this theme in some live scenario, maybe with a different controller instead of the OPXY (which I am only using because it has midi via 3.5mm jack and... an audible metronome, I am looking at you, Torso)
I hope you'll like it, now this jam is free to run wild on the internet 🧡"

Live Trance with GS Music e7 | TeknoBaby | Fallen Star | Erica Synths Zen Delay |


video upload by TeknoBaby

"Supposed to be Melodic Techno but ended up as Trance lol. The e7 does the plucky Trance arp thing very well. Zen delay used as ever for saturation, echoes and mangling."

Exploring Xenodrive FX unit #techno


video upload by Yan Cook

"Exploring the Xenodrive FX unit from ‪@EricaSynths‬
This box is a beast for adding analog warmth and grit to your tracks.

What I loved:
Overdrive & EQ: Superb tone and very intuitive. I’m really impressed with the character of the overdrive, and the EQ is incredibly useful for sculpting the tone.
Extras: Having the compressor and noise gate built-in makes it a really versatile tool for any signal chain.

The Challenge:
Waveshaper: It’s very destructive! Works well on basic waveforms, but I’m still looking for the best way to utilize it on more complex patches.

Erica Synths Steampipe + Synthstrom Deluge // DAY 3 #jamuary2026


video upload by Dexba

"New day, new instruments, different languages, different gestures, and it's to surprise of no one that I am not equally proficient in each one of them, especially when they are same-same but different (like with the OPXY vs Deluge).
I've listened to this recording for a good part of the day and I was getting nauseated, but I asked my girlfried to check it out, she genuinely liked it a lot, so that's why I am uploading it.
Day by day, I feel the need for a mixer (and maybe a more powerful computer), but the focus is practice, and give a spot to all the beautiful toys I keep in the studio.
I hope you'll enjoy it!"

Hexdrums and friends


video upload by Richard DeHove

"Noodle the second. Hexdrums plus effects. The routing here has BD1 going to Gallows for a little dirt and reverb; BD2 going to the Boss DM-2w; the machine voice 3 to the Zen delay; and everything else to the Xeno filth machine. A six-minute drum machine solo is a challenge. You're essentially making an 'accompaniment' instrument take the lead.

Here I again use the mute/unmute to create variations. That's reasonably easy on machine with ten voices. I've often thought that four voices is plenty for me. So is ten voices with mutes better than two patterns with four voices; or four voices one pattern and parameter locks? Is one more efficient than another? Is there any way to quantify such things? Just for laughs I asked Grok this exact question. Predictably (just like any forum) it started with "It really depends...". Later it said that: "In the drum machine world, parameter locks (p-locks) on a single pattern are generally considered far more powerful and creative than having multiple patterns or more voices." Hmmm. maybe. P-locks might allow more voice variation on a single pattern but then you have to program that in. With multiple voice and muting you can create multiple 'scenes'. Of course AI isn't going to tell you anything profound, it's just scraping forums.

What really strikes me with Hexdrums is that it hits hard. It's easy to get a very solid bass drum in all sorts of flavors. Why can't cheap drum machines do that? Ah, so many questions...
