Sinister Sounds for Halloween on the Oberheim FVS

video upload by Electro-Classic Orchestra

"A sinister improvisation on a Gilbert & Sullivan opera "The Sorcerer". The song is 'Sprites of Earth and Air' and is played heavily on the Oberheim Four Voice Synthesizer (FVS) from 1976 with its incredible state-variable multi-mode filters, one of the first truly polyphonic synthesizers ever made. Also featured are three Moogs, a Third Wave, a D50 and a vocoder!" Polymoog in there as well.

See the Halloween label below for additional spooky posts.

Invention 4 (Bach on Moog modular system)

video upload by Electro-Classic Orchestra

"One of Bach's shortest 2-part Inventions, clocking in at only one minute. I first heard this Invention in D minor on Wendy Carlos' Switched-on Bach album. She had an elaborate customized Moog system. I did my best to pay homage with my rather limited system, and I hope it captures the spirit of Switched-on Bach. Enjoy!"

FMini-1 | A MiniMoog for the M-Vave FM-1

FMini-1 | Moog synth inside M-Vave FM-1 (All presets and more, No talking)

video upload by e y l v y

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

https://ruppert.github.io/fmini-1/
0:00 - Factory presets 5-50 (Free playing)
8:06 - Factory presets 50 and the rest (Sequencer playing)
11:42 - Sound designing 1
15:52 - Sound designing 2

"A classic, inside the FM-1.
Free firmware. Install straight from the browser and go back to the original whenever you like.

Three oscillators, a ladder filter and plenty of body
Each block of the Minimoog panel has its place on the FM-1's 240 × 240 screen, with four real knobs to play it for real.

Oscillator bank
Three oscillators with ranges from LO to 2', a waveform each, independent detune on oscillators 2 and 3 and a touch of pitch drift, like analog VCOs.

Ladder filter
A four-pole ladder, 24 dB/octave, with saturation in every stage and the feedback lag of the Minimoog circuit. From emphasis 8 up it self-oscillates as a pure sine that follows the keyboard at 1 V/octave. Cutoff reads -5 to +5, as on the panel.

Contours
Two contours (filter and loudness) with attack, decay and sustain. The attack is exponential, like the original circuit. Glide, LFO and modulation complete the section.

100 presets
Ten groups of ten: a showcase of styles, hard leads, soft leads, basses, pads and strings, brass, plucks, keys, atmospheres and sound effects. About a quarter comes with the arpeggiator already on. Save your own in 32 user slots.

Arpeggiator and sequencer
One tap on ARP turns it on and off; holding it sets HOLD. The sequencer records up to 16 notes (REC) and plays them (PLAY). The key LEDs light with the notes.

Effects per preset
Reverb, delay, chorus and drive, each preset with its own combination, so basses, leads and pads live in very different spaces."

Inside Hans Zimmer’s £15k Modular - 50 Years of History in One Case

"History, passion, provenance and love. That's the AJH Synth Radiophonic in four words.

This isn't a performance video and it isn't a patch demo - it's the story of what's actually inside this thing, where every circuit came from, and why a cabinet of 48 modules ends up feeling like one complete instrument rather than a collection of parts.

The Radiophonic was commissioned by Hans Zimmer as the centrepiece for the resurrected BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and the lineage runs a lot deeper than the wooden case and the vintage lettering. The oscillators are built around the first-version Minimoog transistor core - the ones everybody says sound the sweetest - with the thermal drift finally sorted, and Alan went back to Jim Scott, one of the original version one designers, to get them right. The filters take in the Moog transistor ladder, the diode ladder that Gene Zumchak designed for the Musonics Sonic V to sidestep Moog's patents, a dual *SEM*, and the 914 fixed filter bank from the big Moog modular systems. The ring modulator is discrete transistor EMS Synthi circuitry sitting on top of a Moog CP3 style mixer. And none of it is a straight copy - there's a wave folder here, resonance compensation there, extra CV inputs everywhere.

So: seven transistor core VCOs, two transistor ladder filters, two diode ladder filters with wave shaping, a double SEM, the 914, the Ring SM, three noise sources, a 12-stage phaser, wave shaping, Tone Science collaborations with Ian Boddy, and more envelopes, LFOs and random voltage than you'll know what to do with.

A whistle-stop tour, and still an hour's worth of talking squeezed into twenty minutes. Stay to the end for the full track - everything you hear came out of this one instrument, with drums from the AJH Bullfrog."

New Order – Blue Monday | Vintage Synthesizer Cover | Moog Source & Emulator II | 80s Synthpop

video upload by RetroSound

"Real Vintage Synthesizer cover of “Blue Monday” by New Order, recreating the iconic sound and atmosphere of this fantastic electronic dance track. Released in 1983, “Blue Monday” became one of the most influential electronic 80s Synthpop tracks of its era. This cover pays tribute to its unmistakable sound using vintage synthesizer and sampling technology inspired by the original production.

For this cover, I used my vintage synthesizers and classic hardware to capture the spirit of the original recording, focusing on the distinctive sounds and textures that made this track timeless.

🎹 Vintage Gear & Sound Design:
Moog Source – Bass sounds and the additional synthesizer parts
E-mu Emulator II – Synth Strings, DMX Drums, Guitar parts and other fx sounds

The goal was to stay true to the original character of Blue Monday, using authentic vintage instruments and sampling technology to bring its unmistakable 80s sound back to life.

If you're into New Order, classic synthpop, vintage synthesizers, analog bass sounds, the Emulator II, and the electronic music production of the 1980s, this cover is for you.

🎧 Listen, enjoy, and let the vintage synth sounds take you back to the golden age of electronic music.

PolyArp 1.4.0 + Moog Subsequent 37 | Standalone Tutorial

video upload by Iris Orbit

"Explore PolyArp 1.4.0:
https://irisorbit.io/polyarp/

Build a two-part MIDI pattern with PolyArp 1.4.0, then play it on a Moog Subsequent 37. Follow the English on-screen explanations from MIDI setup through Repeat Last, custom Draw rhythms and the final performance at 121 BPM.

Setup:
Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 → PolyArp 1.4.0 standalone → Moog Subsequent 37

The Moog is in Duo Mode for two-note paraphonic playing: two pitches share its filter. PolyArp generates MIDI; the Moog provides the sound.

The walkthrough covers Gate, octave range and shift, Direction, fixed velocities, and editing each hand's rhythm. Repeat Last with Count 2 plays the final note of the pattern twice in total. In Draw mode, notes are removed to create space in each part.

Chapters:
0:00 Performance preview and MIDI setup
0:20 Shape the rhythm and note range
0:42 Repeat Last and Count
1:14 Edit both rhythms in Draw
1:44 Live performance at 121 BPM"

Synth Show - Ep241 - Can you "Vibe Code" a VST?

video upload by GEOSynths

Makes me think of a new generation Synth Edit based soft synths. For those of you concerned about them, and M-VAVE, taking over site, don't. I'll be filtering out noise as usual. Note supporting member posts are always welcome as a thank you for supporting the site, so you will see demos coming in that route. That said, posts like this one are mainly for informative purposes only, and to give you a perspective on the topic.

Video description:

"Can you 'Vibe Code' a VST? Of course you can :)

Like many of us in this space, I’ve been looking into what “AI” can and can’t do and more specifically how it can help me with Audio/Video and App Creation. Google Flow recently added the ability to 'Vibe Code' your own VST Plugins and I’ve made a half decent FX Plugin…Nothing that will change the Music World, damn, there’s enough of that going on, but it’s quite a cool little Project."

And another project I came across based on the UI of the Moog Messenger but with a different engine.

Vibe Coding VST3 Synth Based off Moog Messenger Preset Editor Layout

video upload by Elyon Tron

"Free https://github.com/Gevarya/neuro-prot...

Sound test. UI inspired by the Moog Messenger preset editor. Working Windows VST3 and standalone synthesizer with its own sound engine. I used the Moog Messengers preset editor layout and functionality as a foundation for this synth. This does not edit presets on the Moog Messenger and it's not a skin for the preset editor. This is it's own synth.

Developed native synth with JUCE and C++ with GPT Codex. Tested both the standalone app and VST3 inside FL Studio.

The synth currently features two original synthesis algorithms:

⚙️ Mandible = interacting phase-modulated oscillators and asymmetric wavefolding for biting, metallic basses and aggressive textures.

⚙️ Gullet = harmonically rich synthesis shaped by moving resonances and distortion for throaty, vowel-like growls and smoother bass tones.

Added oscillator shaping and sync, multiple filter modes, envelopes, two LFOs, modulation routing, internal feedback, glide, duophonic playing, MIDI-synced pitch and mod wheels, an arpeggiator, a basic step sequencer, and preset saving. The factory bank now includes 17 presets, with ten dedicated bass patches. This is an independent project, unaffiliated with Moog, and isn’t intended to emulate the Messenger’s sound.

More synthesis algorithms are planned for later, including ideas for fractured waveforms, interacting detuned sources, and feedback driven textures. For now, this demonstration explores what Mandible and Gullet can already do as of now.

Built through experimentation, listening, testing, and one working feature at a time. Work in progress."

Retromulator 1.11 - CA-72 Moog Model D Core Demo

video upload by discoDSP

https://www.discodsp.com/retromulator/

"The Minimoog has the voice many of us first fell in love with: a fat bass that sits under everything, a lead that cuts through any mix, a filter you can play like a second instrument.

The CA-72 by Idle Foundry rebuilds a 1972 Model D from the inside. Every board was transcribed from the service documents into SPICE netlists, and the real-time model was derived from those simulations and calibrated against a real instrument, so the oscillators drift, the ladder filter sings and the mixer breaks up the way the original does.

Its front panel opens right below the Retromulator rack. LO, HI and ULTRA quality trade CPU for detail, and offline bounces always render with the 4x engine. DOUBLE, SPREAD and ENTROPY add a detuned twin, stereo width and the small differences between two real units. Presets are .fxp files in Factory and User banks with .fxb bank import and export, selected by MIDI Program Change, and every panel control answers a MIDI CC."
