The SOUL of the KORG Z1 - Ethereal Textures & STRYMON BigSky / No Talking

video upload by Matzumi

"Experience the breathing soul of the Korg Z1.
In this studio session, the Korg Z1 meets the Strymon BigSky – a combination of pure magic. Together, they open up mystical soundscapes that are as inspiring as they are profound.
The result is a sound that is both dystopian and beautiful, possessing a unique radiance.

It’s a sound that seems to breathe on its own. Join me and get lost in resonance.

I’ve spent some time getting lost in the resonance of the Korg Z1 paired with the Strymon BigSky.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Music is emotion, music is language - the oldest in the world.
Music is so much more than just the sound in the ear.

Ambient Layers of Sustained Pads and Tape Piano | Outskirts 2026-02-12 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This is an ambient electronica piece where sustained tones from the volca fm2 are layered with tape loops and performances on the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10.

The volca fm2 is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, creating continuous pad textures.

A piano performance is recorded onto a tape loop, played back on a cassette tape player with pitch adjustments. The output is processed through ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE for delay, with feedback occasionally increased to form dense clusters of sound.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed and processed through blueSky for reverb."

RetroSound Studio Tour: Analog Monophonic Synthesizers

video upload by RetroSound

"Welcome to RetroSound Studio Tour: Analog Monophonic Synthesizers & Duophonic — a deep dive into legendary mono synths from the 1970s and 1980s, including rare East-Bloc classics.

In this new episode, I showcase iconic instruments such as the Minimoog, ARP Odyssey, Roland SH-101, Maxi-Korg, Sequential Circuits Pro-One, alongside Soviet and East German synthesizers like the Polivoks, Alisa 1377 and Vermona mono synths.

These analog monophonic synthesizers defined the sound of electronic music — from the fat Moog and cutting ARP to aggressive Polivoks and raw Eastern European character.

This video explores the sound and architecture of true analog mono synths built around VCO, VCF, and VCA signal paths, highlighting their distinctive basslines, lead sounds, and modulation capabilities. From the Moog basslines to the aggressive Polivoks filter sound and the unique character of East German Vermona synthesizers, each instrument demonstrates why 1970s and 1980s monophonic synthesizers remain highly sought after by collectors, producers, and electronic music enthusiasts."

Korg phase8 | NAMM 2026 | KUCR

video upload by KUCR

"Chris Sanders of KORG shows us the new phase 8! The phase 8 is 'an eight-voice acoustic synthesizer that merges the sonic richness of the physical world with precise electronic control... Acoustic Synthesis uses physically vibrating bodies to generate sound, enhanced with the electronic control you’d expect from a synthesizer.'

Basically, you can place household items onto the synthesizer to manipulate sound and frequencies. Really innovative and new instrument!"

He Hates This Synth Because…

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"In this video, I pick one thing I think I hate about 12 classic synthesizers—and then follow that feeling wherever it leads.
We’re talking about legendary instruments:
Minimoog, MS-20, Prophet-5, Jupiter-8, ARP 2600, Moog IIIc ('Plantasia'), Oberheim 4-Voice, Oberheim OB-X, Synclavier III, Elka Synthex, and Yamaha CS-30.
What starts as frustration with a workflow choice, a knob, or a design limitation slowly turns into something else entirely.
Along the way, I realize this video isn’t really about hating synths at all. It’s about relationships.
Every one of these instruments has limitations—and so do we. In any good relationship, not everything is perfect. But when you stop fighting what something isn’t and start understanding what it is, those limitations can become the very thing that leads you somewhere creative and unexpected.
Instead of endless options, boundaries create focus.
Instead of frustration, they create identity.
And in learning to understand these instruments more deeply, I ended up learning something about myself.
This is a video about synthesizers—but it’s also a small morality tale about creativity, acceptance, and finding freedom inside constraints.
Let me know in the comments:
Which synth do you love… even though it drives you crazy? 🎛️"

KORG Berlin Phase 8 | Acoustic Synthesis from First Touch to Full Jam

video upload by Noisegate

"We head to the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio for our first hands-on look at the KORG Berlin Phase 8, one of the most unusual instruments to land on the Noisegate desk in years.
Phase 8 is built around eight electromechanical voices, each physically striking a steel resonator or tine. Instead of traditional oscillators, sound is generated through real vibrating materials, then shaped with envelopes, modulation, sequencing, and analogue wavefolding. The result feels closer to playing a physical instrument than programming a synth.

In this video, we explore:
– How Phase 8 produces sound
– Sequencing, pluck, shift and performance controls
– Acoustic interaction using everyday objects
– Processing Phase 8 with external effects
– Integrating Phase 8 into a wider live jam setup

0:39 – Why Phase 8 Is Different
1:04 – What Is Acoustic Synthesis?
1:40 – Touch, Feedback & Physical Interaction
2:13 – Tuning, Scales & Resonators Explained
2:32 – Playing Phase 8 Like a Synth

7:50 – Light vs Heavy Materials on the Tines
8:26 – Percussive & Prepared-Style Sounds
9:47 – Modulation & Tonal Experimentation
9:56 – Processing Phase 8 with External Effects
10:14 – Finding Sweet Spots with FX
10:27 – Connectivity: MIDI, USB-C, CV & Sync

11:24 – Live Jam Begins
14:29 – Reflections on Exploration & Sweet Spots
15:31 – Why Phase 8 Rewards Time & Touch
15:36 – Trying Phase 8 at MESS
16:04 – Final Thoughts & Sign-Off

We also look at how Phase 8 plays with other gear, including Teenage Engineering OP-XY and outboard effects, and why finding the “sweet spot” is such a big part of the experience."
