Montage M8X FM-X walkthrough: Patch from scratch tutorial on Yamaha's latest FM synthesizer

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"FM-X is the FM synthesis engine found in the Yamaha MODX and Montage Series. With 8 operators per voice and 128 voice polyphony, this is a very capable sound generator. In this video, I create a "Piano with pads and sparkles" sound, explaining which options do what in the process. This is not a complete overview, just the process of making one particular patch and explaining every step.
Table of contents:

00:00 introduction, overview and terminology
00:55 selecting the FM-X engine and opening the editor
01:24 selecting an algorithm
02:15 quick editor, and explaining the algorithm
02:46 operator envelopes
03:43 velocity sensitivity
04:05 setting up the first modulator: ratio, level, envelope and velocity
05:30 second carrier and modulator: tuning
07:22 building the pad: distorting the waveshape with the spectral option
08:14 skirt value (oscilloscope view)
09:00 tuning/detuning and browsing some more spectral options (including resonance)
10:17 adding another operator and modulator
11:15 putting it all together / fine adjustments
11:37 adding LFOs for pitch and amp modulation
14:03 adding a "sparkle" with modulator 3
16:46 filter type, LFOs and envelopes
18:29 FM color
19:16 effects: insert and global
20:24 physical controls (mod wheel and poly aftertouch)
21:33 the result - a new age pad with some alien weirdness
22:55 conclusion - do the youtube thing! :-)

The ARP Centennial Celebration continues...

via the Alan R Pearlman Foundation

"June through October were busy months for us here at the Foundation. We celebrated Alan's 100th Birthday with a whole slew of events, including a new exhibit at EMEAPP/Museum of Music Technology, and the NAMM Museum of Making Music. Arriving in the UK on September 26, we exhibited at Machina Bristronica in Bristol... we had a special raffle of a meticulously restored vintage ARP Pro Soloist, personally signed by Tony Banks, legendary keyboardist of Genesis, to benefit the Foundation... we were part of the London Synthesizer show at The Musical Museum in London, and we capped it off with visits to both The Townshend Studio and Peter Gabriel's Real World Studio. WHEW!

Check out the full list of past events, and visit the Centennial Gallery."

Chord Wave Theory. Advanced MIDI Arpeggiator

video upload by Element433 (a.k.a. Pere Villez)

"Dev Demo of my super arpeggiator Chord Wave Theory for Plug/Pure Data (any platform). No GUI yet

'Chord Wave Theory' (prototyping name) is a 'one finger' performance/composition super arpeggiator driven by Wavetables, like the old PPG Wave. It's made to control external MIDI/CV sound generators/synthesisers. Each key is assigned a scale or chord and arpeggiator. The arpeggios use wavetable shapes, which are automatically morphed. The arpeggio morphing rate, note's order, direction, octave, spread etc can be manipulated and stored. It has a huge built in library of chords, scales and musical shapes, which can be endlessly expanded

Original inspired by the Korg Monopoly's one finger chord mode and the Casiotone keyboard's one finger chord function.

Release is scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. Any questions, please ask."

U-He Hive: 25 Free Presets + Patterns. Dark Atmospheric Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

🏙 Lost Traffic is a collection of 25 tempo-synced presets+sequences for U-He Hive 2, designed for dark, urban and cinematic electronic music.
The soundset is inspired by neon megacities, late-night drives, underground clubs, dystopian skylines and graphic-novel noir — somewhere between cyberpunk futures and crime-ridden streets, without going fully into grit and dirt.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/hive...
🛎 The pack is free, but any donation is appreciated.
👤 The author of the soundset is Daytona Carter.

🧿 Each sequence has a distinct personality: some feel like restless traffic lanes, some like narrow alleys pulsing with tension, others like cold, mechanical grids of light.
The overall tone is dark, urban, synthetic and dystopian, with only a few rare moments of calm and space.

🎛 All presets are velocity-sensitive and performance-ready.
The ModWheel is essential: it doesn’t just make small tweaks — it opens up each sequence:
🔹 adding extra notes and counter-rhythms.
🔹 introducing delays, distortion and tonal shifts.
🔹 morphing between more minimal patterns and denser, more aggressive versions.

Fractures: IDM Drums - Elektron Digitakt 2 Sound Pack by A Force Truly Evil

video upload by A Force Truly Evil

"Available here: https://sci-fiaudio.com/?product=frac...

INTRICATE IDM DRUMS INSPIRED BY AUTECHRE, APHEX TWIN, AND SQUAREPUSHER

Synth sounds in this video are from Elektron Digitone 2 sound pack “Drones & Depths”.

A focused collection of 82 experimental drum loops crafted specifically for Digitakt II and its new Grid/Slice workflow.
All loops are 4 bars and perfectly mapped to 64 steps, ensuring flawless alignment, smooth transitions, accurate morphing, and full cross-compatibility between every loop.

Each loop is precisely warped/quantized so the Grid mode slices kicks, snares, hats, percussion and glitches with perfect accuracy — ready for resequencing, rearranging, or deep rhythmic mutation.

With a single press of Create Random Locks, you can generate infinite variations from any loop, unlocking new ideas instantly with one button.

The rhythmic approach follows the style of Aphex Twin and Squarepusher: complex beats built on a single track, suitable for IDM, glitch, experimental electronica, and experimental drum & bass.

Includes a ready-to-use project with effects, modulations, and macro controls for expressive performance.
All samples are provided in 16-bit / 48 kHz stereo WAV, usable in any DAW but optimized for perfect behavior inside Digitakt II.

A precision-built rhythmic toolkit for avant garde, expressive, and unpredictable drums."

"In this patch talk, I explore the timbral range of the Tiptop Buchla 259t Complex Oscillator, using the 245t, 266t, 281t, and 292t to build a dynamic, evolving modular voice.

The session is fully improvised and recorded live — a look into the interaction between control voltages, random modulation, and the organic response of the Buchla 200-inspired system.

🎛️ Modules used:
• Tiptop Buchla 259t Complex Oscillator
• Tiptop Buchla 245t Sequential Voltage Source

DIY Solar Noise Synth

video upload by Musical Miscellany

"Inspired by one of ‪@zurowetz‬ videos, I decided to make a simple DIY noise synth from a solar garden statue. I added an audio transformer to boost the signal and strip out the DC offset but it's a super easy build. You just need a jack, an audio transformer, a little bit of wire, and an animal statue.

See the original video here:
