Syncussion SY-1 - Walkthrough and extended demo

video upload by Richard DeHove

"The Behringer Syncussion clone is a simple beast. It creates mighty bass drum hits with no effort and has beautiful noise. That in itself is something I find puzzling: If this cheap clone can so easily create big hits why are cheap drum machines always so dinky and gutless?

Here I do some lengthy noodlings with the SY-1 Syncussion with one channel through the Zen delay and the other through the Echolocator. This duo is really growing on me. The Zen has some good grit and saturation, while the Echolocator has various tricks with its freeze, shimmer and filter.

About halfway through I digress into a basic overview of the controls, then it's back to noodling. The DB-01 does a good job with sequencing although the original plan was to drive everything with the LXR-02. But horrors! I discovered that the MIDI out functionality on the LXR-02 is totally broken - confirmed by Erica Synths. Hoping for a fix on that soon. In the meantime the DB-01 will have to battle on as my sequencer.

If there's one thing I could change on the SY-1 it would be to add clock sync to the LFO. For me unsynced LFOs are a huge miss. Otherwise it's an excellent little synth. Two of them mounted in a Eurorack case could easily make for a powerful drum voice solution.

As usual, no DAW processing of any kind, it's all what you see.

True Trance Sounds V3 for Arturia JUP-8000 V

True Trance Sounds V3 for Arturia JUP-8000 V (Preset Overview)

video upload by NatLife Sounds

"Buy Here: https://natlifesounds.com/product/tru...

Hey! I’m excited to share True Trance Sounds V3 for Arturia JUP-8000 V.

This pack is my personal take on Trance and Rave — from the raw 90s AAH/Trance-Gate sounds to the Uplifting vibes of the early 2000s.

It includes 64 Presets and 10 MIDI sequences, spread across 10 Uplifting Basslines.

Inside, you’ll find:

Driving Basslines
Dreamy Pads
Shiny Plucks
Expressive Synths
Some unusual modulation tricks I added for fun

In this library, I focused more on the atmosphere of the 90s and 2000s rather than super saws (you’ll find plenty of those in the previous series). Here, it’s about beautiful Plucks that smoothly build into the powerfull Leads that instantly add energy to your track — and of course, the spirit of that era.

I made this library to bring back the energy of those golden Trance years. No sterile “perfect” sounds — just the real vibes that got us all hooked.

TIMELINE:
00:00 NatLife - Bring me Back to my Childhood
01:03 Shiller - I Feel You
02:02 Georg Hales - Terminated (Terminator theme by NatLife)
03:39 NatLife - ID
04:09 ATB - Ecstasy
05:07 Kobee - Endless Thoughts
06:33 Lolo - Why"

Album with Make Noise only - Fracture #08 Live Performance

video upload by Anton Anru

"🎆 Fractures is the result of a series of experiments with the Make Noise modular trio: 0-Coast, Strega, and 0-Ctrl. This combination of instruments is perfectly suited for generative ambient music, where hypnotic repetition merges with expression and dynamic movement.

💽 I recorded a 10-track album using only three Make Noise devices and VST effects. All tracks were recorded live in a single take, with no additional editing. Each piece is built around a sequenced pattern and a complex patch that evolves continuously, shaped manually in real time.

The album is available on all streaming platforms.
➕ SoundCloud: / fractures
➕ Bandcamp:



The album explores a wide emotional range — from brighter, more uplifting moments to darker, more noise-driven textures — offering a diverse sonic journey shaped by the raw, living nature of modular synthesis.

📒 I also have patches for Make Noise and other synthesizers: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/

🎛 Lately, I’ve been more interested in working with simpler forms rather than complex arrangements in DAW. Semi-modular synths are perfect for this approach. In this case, the arrangement is the patch itself. If it’s well thought out, you can easily play a full track in a specific genre—like ambient or techno—using just that one patch.

📝 I’m curious to hear your thoughts—does this kind of format immerse you in a certain mood or evoke a specific emotion? Or does the sound feel too experimental and harder to connect with?
I’d really appreciate any feedback. Enjoy listening!"
