Money, power and ... synths? - what synthesizers can tell us about geopolitics

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

Missed in South America: GS Music - Argentina, EMW - Brazil, and AtomoSynth - Peru. AnalogFX in Netherlands. Meng Qi is worth a DIY stand out mention for China as well as Aforack in Uganda, Africa. There's no way to list every manufacturer, but if he missed a country/region feel free to comment (feel free to comment regardless of course). It's an interesting video and a useful reminder of where manufacturers are based.

"If a country can support one or even more synthesizer manufacturers, that tells us a lot about its place in the world. I have some numbers to back this up, look at some of those synthesizer-producing countries and then make some predictions on their future trajectory.

Exploring Polymetric Patterns With Elektron's Tonverk

video upload by EZBOT

"Polymetric Sequencing are a great way to come up with unique ideas and patterns that would be either extremely difficult to perform manually. Layering Polymetric Sequences makes for something very special and can often create fantastic ambient spaces. Today, we dive into this concept on the Elektron Tonverk, but it can be done on most sequencers."

'Smash the Machines' featuring Hexdrums, Nightverb & DB-01

video upload by Richard DeHove

"A one-take song featuring Hexdrums, Nightverb and a DB-01 from Erica Synths. The entire thing was played in live switching patterns on both machines. No overdubs and editing restricted to cutting it down from five minutes to about three. Of course the vocal samples were added later - they're from the 1930s movie 'Heroes for Sale'.

Routing is Hexdrums stereo out to Nightverb stereo in. The Hexdrums compressor is cranked and Nightverb is on a very aggressive gated reverb. The DB-01 is raw as you see it. There was no further processing of the sound in the DAW.

Originally I'd intended to program both machines in song mode so I could play with the sounds a bit more but had to abandon that idea because I wanted to switch off Hexdrums and play the 'reset' button. Hitting that instantly restarts the pattern quantized to the clock speed. A fun feature but not usable in song mode. I also played with the solo function which was fun, just picking out a single sound in a pattern.

Although the DB-01 seems to have a slight echo it's actually the LFO giving a little rhythmic cut to the release.

I was very tempted to start multitracking in a higher riff and EQ and distort the DB-01 but in the end raw is best."

Energy Field by Reductionist

via Nick Wilson of Clan Analogue: "I'm touching base about a new release from Australian electronic music collective Clan Analogue by the Melbourne artist Reductionist. I thought it might be of interest to you as a release made entirely with cheap Korg gear, specifically the Monotron, Monotron Duo and Volca Modular.

The release is a two-track single called 'Energy Field'."

From BandCamp:

[before the Big Bang and the beginning of time…]

"There was no matter. All that existed was space/time and energy. An ocean of energy, almost still but gently rippling. A near still ocean of energy filling the void." Brian Cox, Universe (BBC, 2021)

Reductionist explores the wavefolding of time and space using battery-powered technologies and microvirtuosic technique with the debut release Energy Field.

Reductionist utilises the humblest of ephemeral technologies, including battery-powered micro-instruments, forgotten music tech products, and cheap effect pedals, to express through sound the vastest concepts that we, as humans, can attempt to comprehend.

The title track is inspired by the idea of an immeasurable energy field, theorised to have existed before the Big Bang, with the entire Universe lying dormant, waiting to emerge into existence…

The new single also includes the extended companion piece “Energy Field Refolding”. Could the Universe refold into itself as an energy field once again? Humans are attracted to the idea of rebirth - perhaps we need to imagine that existence will always continue in some form.

Reductionist is the solo project for electronic music artist Nick Wilson, whose previous work has included Random Acts of Elevator Music, Darrow, Tiatto, City Frequencies and Continuum. Nick has also been the Label Manager for Australia’s longest-running electronic music collective Clan Analogue over the last twenty years. In 2025 Reductionist and multimedia artist Aday collaborated on the MacroVerse collaborative performances at the Abbotsford Convent, which were nominated for the Best In Music category at the 2025 Melbourne Fringe Awards.

“Energy Field” is the first track to be released from the forthcoming Reductionist album MacroVerse. Prepare for existence and experience Energy Field.

released June 9, 2026

Note: - All sounds you hear were used from this library, WITHOUT ADDING THIRD-PARTY EFFECTS OR ENHANCERS!

Get ready for the next-level sound design with Arturia Memory V – Melodic Techno | All Colours.

All Colours – these are all variations of Melodic Techno sounds from its creation by Stefan Bodzin to Afterlife‘s Anyma and Argy sounds. Naturally, I add my own vision of this style in my signature NatLife style.

I have created 51 custom presets and patches from scratch.
Every sound optimized to perfection for immediate, out-of-the-box use.
The collection features modulated LEADS, deep modulated PADS, beautiful space PLUCKS, modular ARP sounds and ultra-elaborate SYNTH effects. These sounds fully exploit the unique capabilities of Memory V. Despite this, these patches also reveal the full power of this emulation – and you will get sounds similar to Blade Runner.

Arturia Pigments 50 Experimental Presets+Patterns Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

⚙️ Rusted Chaos is a bank of 50 presets + sequences for Arturia Pigments. The soundset's primary goal is to combine atmospheric and harsh, metallic sound. Inspiration came from natural phenomena and fossils, as well as mechanical sounds.
👁️‍🗨️ This experiment helped achieve harmonious chaos & strange sound. The presets offer various moods and colors: bright and soft, mild and aggressive, warm and cold, clean and noisy, melodic and FX-like.

📦 The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/pigm...
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).

This diversity expands their application possibilities; they can be used in sound design, cinematic music, Ambient, and in a wide variety of dance genres: Techno, IDM, Drum and Bass, Dubstep, Trance, Jungle, Experimental and more.

🎛️ Each preset features 4 Macros and Modwheel control, making it easy to shape the timbre and adjust key parameters.
The macros can transform the timbre, control noise level and distortion, add movement. You can control them via a MIDI controller or automate them in your DAW.
🎚️ The Modwheel makes the timbre brighter, while velocity affects both volume and brightness.

💡 Compatible with Pigments, Analog Lab, AstroLab.
Make sure you are using the latest software/firmware version.
