Ambient Electronica with LYRA-8 and OP-1 field Strings | Curb Stones 2026-03-29 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Ambient electronica built from simulated string tones and sustained synth textures.

Created with ‪@somasynths‬ LYRA-8, ‪@Dirtywave‬ M8 MODEL 02, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and monotron DELAY.

On the LYRA-8, sustained tones are performed. The signal is processed with ‪@KORG_INC‬ monotron DELAY for filtering and delay, then through MICROCOSM with deep reverb.

On the M8 MODEL 02, simple harmonies are played and looped using Hypersynth. The sound is processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY with filtering and reverb.

On the OP-1 field, simulated string tones from the STRING synth are looped using the ENDLESS sequencer. Reverb is added with MOOD MKII, and the MICRO LOOPER is occasionally engaged to introduce variation."

Deep Analog Ambient Drone – Moog Mavis Soundscape (19 Minutes)

video upload by The Pedalboard Orchestra

"This calm and meditative ambient track is my first use of the Moog Mavis semimodular analog synthesizer.

This video is intended for deep listening and quiet immersion.
🎧 Headphones recommended for the full spatial experience.

The Mavis VCO plays itself as a drone, modified via the Mavis patch bay with LFO and Sample & Hold. Further modulation is provided by the Recovery Effects XCV pedal.
The Dark Star Pad Reverb from Old Blood Noise Endeavors calms it down even more,
before the sound is mangled by Hologram Electronics Microcosm in various stereo settings of the Warp algorithm.
The whole thing is pushed out in space by the Source Audio Ventris Dual Reverb, using the E-Dome and Offspring algorithm in parallel.
Patch cables: myVolts Halo.

Single take/single track recording, no overdubs.
Video footage and all sounds & noises by The Pedalboard Orchestra.

How to Start Tracks: Fourm + Microcosm into Digitakt 2

video upload by Sineway

"Fourm into Microcosm into Digitakt II – how I built a beat from nothing, faster than I expected.

In this video I build a beat from scratch using a brand-new setup: Sequential Fourm into Hologram Microcosm, captured and shaped on the Digitakt II.

Instead of treating effects as something you add at the end, I’m using the Microcosm as an idea generator - letting it transform a simple init patch into something that suggests harmony, rhythm, and direction very early on.

This is the first time I’ve made a track with this exact setup, and I was honestly surprised by how quickly it led to usable musical ideas.

The goal here isn’t to finish a track. It’s to show how I like to start - how I go from nothing to a beat that feels worth exploring further.

If you’ve ever felt stuck looping the same pattern without knowing where to take it next, this video sets up the foundation for what comes after. I’ll continue from this exact loop in the next video, where I focus on breaking out of the single-loop deadlock and opening things up into multiple patterns and directions."

Soft Synths, Warped Drums, and Lo-Fi Tape Textures | Wave and Cradle 2026-02-01 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using ‪@SONICWARE‬ AmbientØ, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and tape loops. Soft synth tones drenched in reverb blend with warped drum patterns and lo-fi tape textures, forming an ambient electronica composition.

On AmbientØ, harmonic sequences and single-note patterns are played, with additional synth parts performed live. Built-in reverb is applied, followed by further reverb processing via ‪@strymon‬ blueSky on the output.

The OP-1 field loops sampled drum sounds using the ENDLESS sequencer.

A ‪@WeAreRewind1‬ cassette player plays a tape loop containing a recorded piano performance. The sound is recorded through ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM, with reversed layers added using the PHRASE LOOPER."

Hypnotic Minilogue XD with Microcosm | Jamuary 2026 Day 26

"Today a hypnotic jam with the Korg Minilogue XD and the Hologram Microcosm. So fascinating what kind of soundscape the Microcosm produces. Should use it more often. Thinking about integrating it into my modular system."

Like clockwork.

Minimal Loops and Shifting Pulses | Sky falls down 2026-01-30 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@somasynths‬ LYRA-8, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ TENORI-ON, and tape loops. Simple phrases repeat over sustained tones, gradually shifting in rhythm and resonance to form a minimalist composition.

On the LYRA-8, sustained tones are generated by turning the HOLD knob. During the performance, the pitch of the four voices on the right side is gradually changed. The output is routed through ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM, where deep reverb is applied.

The TENORI-ON repeatedly plays simple tones and phrases, with the rhythmic structure changing over time. The output is sent through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, adding reverb and generating micro-loops.

A piano performance is recorded onto a tape loop and played back through the NTS-3 looper and delay."
