Manatee Synth Tutorial 2 - Generator, Sub-oscillator, Play modes

video upload by Fred's Lab

"Welcome to the second Manatee tutorial!

In this video, we will talk about the Fred's Lab Manatee sound sources!
You will learn how to build up the raw timbre for your custom sounds.

Covered are the fundamentals and the extra parameters of the spectral generator and maker, the sub-oscillator and the various available play modes for a part. The glide, tremolo and vibrato functions are also demonstrated.

Trivium: VCF/VCA/Envelope combo from Weston Precision Audio & Trovarsi

video upload by CatSynth TV

"LA-based electronic music composer/artist Trovarsi takes us on a tour of Trivium, a new module developed in collaboration with Weston Precision Audio, at Buchla & Friends 2026. Trivium combines a multi-state filter, VCAs, and two envelopes in one compact unit. The idea is combine these functions into a smaller space, thus freeing up space in a live modular setup for other modules unique to the artists' creative needs.

Audio Synthesis on RP2350

video upload by Ghost In Translation

"All the sounds in this video are generated from my 2 modules that I designed around Pico 2 (RP2350) : Drone and DS1, they are visible on the front row.

On these I use the port of Teensy's audio Library for Pico:
https://github.com/ghostintranslation...

Drone is the main voice here, a Drone with 4 voices with a few algorithms to choose from. DS1 is a drums module that can do many drums but only one at a time.

The RP2350 is capable of audio synthesis while reading inputs, and controlling outputs such as LEDs and more. It is much less powerful than the Teensy 4 and cannot run very complex sketches but here it shows how capable it is.

All of my designs are open source, these modules are based on the v2 of my Motherboard, I still need to update the repos but you can find everything here:
https://github.com/ghostintranslation

And I share content regularly here:

PGB-1: A powerful Groovebox / MIDI sequencer the size of a credit card by Wee Noisemakers

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"The Wee Noisemakers PGB-1 (https://weenoisemakers.com/pgb-1/) is a credit‑card‑sized groovebox — but as we all know, size doesn’t matter. With 16 tracks, 16 patterns, and a song editor to tie everything together, you can create music not only with the internal synths and samplers but also with external MIDI gear. In this video, I try to give a solid overview of what to expect, though I don’t go into every detail. If you have questions, feel free to post them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer.

For this video, I was provided with a review unit. Other than that, no money was exchanged.

1st video features TONYLIGHT with the following: 'I’ve used a lot of synths over the years but this one is something different… it’s a strange instrument. It’s small, much smaller than it appears in photos: it is part synth, part drum machine, part multi-track sequencer. I’m still figuring it all out but initial impressions are that it’s very unpredictable and slightly unstable… but in a good way.'"

"‪@plantssystem-ufo‬
A three-dimensional acoustic specimen frozen in the freezing air.
This work combines the layered sequences of the Prophet-5 and Poly-Sequencer with the chaotic textures of the Duos. These were mastered using the legendary 3D sound processor, Roland RSS (Roland Sound Space).
A three-dimensional sound image unfolds to the left and right, and front and back.
Noise and melodies that would normally be heard right next to your ears are 'frozen' in a specific space, creating the illusion that they are floating."

Akai MPC One: Running my own custom samples.
Micromonsta 2: ‘Response Pad’ sequenced on MIDI channel 2, combined with a pitched-up pad played in real-time on MIDI channel 1.
Behringer Edge: Crafting that deep, textured Choir-Bass sound.
Eventide Space: Providing the haunting reverb FX that ties the whole atmosphere together.
Hope you like it!

"Thats it I guess. One jam per day per January for 6 years. Hope you enjoyed this round because I'm already looking forward to the next sprint.

Also I have a soft spot for this kind of dnb, and the #UBXaMini through the #nts-1 phaser reminds me of creme brulee or Cadburys Crunchy bars. Yummy in a guilty way."

Serum Tech & Progressive (Official Serum 2 Revamp) - NatLife

I am excited to present the reincarnation of my Tech & Progressive technical basses for Serum 2. I have completely redesigned this library of my most powerful basses, creating an extremely ultimate collection of absolutely diverse sounds.
Furthermore, this release is more than a simple rework. Instead, I created brand-new sounds specifically for the modern energy of Melodic Techno, House, and Progressive Trance. Nevertheless, I preserved the original core from 2015. Consequently, this library provides essential basslines for every electronic music style.

In this collection, you will find:

Powerful Guitar Riff-basses.
Punchy House basslines of the new generation.
Melodic-techno and robotic textures.
Sharp, cutting-edge neurofunk basslines.
Trance and robotic energy Basses.

Made using only the PO-33. No DAW, just sampling, chopping and sequencing with this little wonder.

Fun fact: this track (and especially the whole You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby album) was one of my biggest influences and introductions to electronic music, so this banger has a special place in my heart. #PO33 #dawless #teenageengineering

Pamela's Disco: sync DJ decks to modular - Buchla & Friends

video upload by CatSynth TV

"Zoey of ALM Busy Circuits gives us a demo of their new Pamela's Disco module at Buchla & Friends 2026. Pamela's Disco connects to a PRO DJ-LINK network and converts the incoming "master tempo" to standard Eurorack clock signals that can be used to synchronize sequencers, LFOs, and modules, including the Pamela's PRO Workout (as shown in this demo). This allows modular systems to be synchronized with DJ decks and follow tempo changes and even scratches and spin ups/downs.

We also get a sneak preview of a few other upcoming modules from ALM Busy Ciruits.
