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."

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."

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and field recordings from the streets of Tokyo — an ambient electronica work where simple, steady performances unfold amid the city’s diverse sounds.

The Moog One performs the harmony, while the Nord Lead plays the melody, processed with deep reverb using the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88 — a work of minimal music built from overlapping sequenced phrases that gradually evolve in tone and texture.

All synthesizers are played via MIDI sequences from Ableton Live.

On the Prophet-10, the filter cutoff and resonance are manually adjusted, with the output processed through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky for reverb.

The Moog One’s EG Amount and waveform Mix parameters are manipulated during playback.

The Nord Lead is processed through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for rich reverb.

At the end of the piece, a deep reverb is added across the entire mix using ‪@ValhallaDSP‬ Valhalla Shimmer in the DAW."

Dystopian Space Ambient (GR1-Kalimba)

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is a dystopian space ambient, featuring a GR-1 granular synthesizer from Tasty Chips Electronics for soundscapes, generated from my own sound samples. In addition a Kalimba running through a DigiTech Genesis 3 were used for the solo plays, a Stylophone Theremine were used for the radio-like background tweet, the Dimmed Light Devices Radio Module for another radio-noise and the Spitfire Audio LABS for the deep bass

I used for the recording the following effects devices: DigiTech Genesis 3, Gamechanger Audio Motor Pedal, Boss Slicer SL2, Hologram Microcosm, Pigtronix Echolution² Deluxe and a GFI System Specular Reverb². Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track using iZotope Ozone. The picture in the video I created with Midjourney."

Minimal Ambient Music with TENORI-ON | Fragmented Star 2025-07-30 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece for YAMAHA TENORI-ON, wavestick, and ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead. Minimal phrases scattered by delay blend with synth textures into a minimal ambient soundscape.

On the TENORI-ON, I switch blocks to morph the phrase. It’s routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II for delay, pitch-shifting, and occasional micro-loops.

The wavestick is pitch-controlled by using the ‪@KORG_INC‬ SQ-1 in STEP JUMP mode as a CV keyboard. Its output runs into ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY for reverb and delay.

The Nord Lead plays the harmony, with delay from ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus."

Ambient w/ Moog One Ambient Ø Tape Loop | Unexpected Loss 2025-03-21 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the Moog One, Ambient Ø, and tape loops. Glitched piano tones and lo‑fi synth textures gently unfold into an ambient soundscape.

On the Moog One, I send MIDI from the DAW to play harmonies, layering live melodies while adjusting the chorus effect parameters.

On the Ambient Ø, I shape simple synth tones with its built‑in effects and filters, then route them through the GENERATION LOSS MK II for a lo‑fi character.

For the tape loop, I pre‑recorded a piano performance, glitch it with the NTS‑3 looper, and add delay using SPECULAR TEMPUS."

Ambient w/ Prophet-10, norns, grid, LOSSY | Spring Snowfall 2025-03-19 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, norns, and grid. It’s a minimal ambient work built on simple accompaniment and sequences.

The Prophet-10 is played through ‪@strymon‬ blueSky to add reverb.

On norns, I create sequence phrases with awake, and the output is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY and ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS. The sequence phrases are dynamically modified using grid. I change the timbre with awake and further process the sound with filters on LOSSY, while SPECULAR TEMPUS applies delay."

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #145: Modal Skulpt - Song 1

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first, quite relaxing recording with the Modal Skulpt. It is a unique sounding, little 4-voice polyphonic virtual analogue synthesizer. The size of the Modal Skulpt is somewhere between the Korg Volca and the Sonicware Liven.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone."

Ambient w/ OP-1 field, TENORI-ON, TapeLoop, LOSSY | Distant Place 2025-03-13 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, YAMAHA TENORI-ON, and a tape loop. Gritty, tape-processed piano sounds blend with granular electronic tones.

The OP-1 field records and loops a synth harmony, with its output deeply reverberated using the MOTHER effect.

The TENORI-ON creates sequences in real time with its BOUNCE layer, processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY to add reverb, lo-fi effects, and filtering.

For the tape loop, a piano performance is pre-recorded and then processed with delay using ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS, with volume adjustments to bring sounds in and out."

Cinematic Ambient w/ Prophet-10, OP-1 field, MOOD MK2, TENORI-ON | Stratum 2025-03-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the YAMAHA TENORI-ON, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and a DIY noise box.

The OP-1 field's sound is processed into a drone using the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II while performing.

The TENORI-ON also produces drones, with its sound altered through reverb and filtering via ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

The noise box is played using hands or brushes, and its sound is processed into a lo-fi character using LOSSY and then reverberated with ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS.

The Prophet-10 is used to perform sounds that bridge the melody and the drone."
