Lo-Fi Electronica with Circuit, Tape Loop and OP-1 field | Stone Section 2026-03-31 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with Novation Circuit, tape loop, and OP-1 field. It is lo-fi electronica built from simple rhythm and synth.

The tape loop contains a one minute electric piano performance. It is played back with reverb from blueSky.

On the Circuit, rhythm patterns and harmony are looped. Reverb is added with MOOD MKII.

On the OP-1 field, a synth lead is performed. The signal is processed through monotron DELAY with delay and filtering, then through LOSSY with reverb and filtering."

Dawless Techno with Jaw Harp & PVC Pipes | Circuit Tracks + Rhythm

video upload by Underground Modulation

"🔥 Experimental Dawless Techno Groovebox Jam | Custom Samples (Jaw Harp & PVC Pipes)

In this video I perform an experimental techno groovebox jam using unique custom samples like jaw harp and PVC pipe sounds, blended into a driving electronic groove.

This track is created using a fully dawless setup with two powerful grooveboxes:
🎛 Novation Circuit Tracks
🥁 Novation Circuit Rhythm

Both grooveboxes handle rhythmic and melodic elements, working together to create a layered and evolving experimental techno sound. The use of jaw harp and PVC pipe samples adds an organic, unusual texture that pushes this jam beyond traditional techno.

Everything is performed live in a DAWLESS workflow, with all sequencing done directly on the Circuit Tracks and Circuit Rhythm.
Final mastering was completed in Ableton Live to enhance clarity, punch, and overall balance.

Bad Gear - The OG

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. By now it must have dawned on even the most terminally online late GenX/early millennial person that calling something The OG is cringe.

Today, however, we are going to talk about Novation Bass Station. This 1993 mono synth and predecessor to the incredibly popular Bass Station 2 is more than deserving of the title because A - it was one of the most important heralds of the 90s analog revival and B - it even got a little shoutout by The Wu Tang. Dolla Dolla Bills y’all.

video upload by James Dyson

"Novation Peak Synthesizer some sounds from my soundset and sound design fun 128 Full Bank of Custom Presets each with careful use of the Animate Buttons the sound design has been done in a meaningful way to mazimise the Animate options. These range from careful addtional FX to Moprhing into a another sound.. example a Keys preset pressing one of the Animate buttons will give you a pad etc etc..

Deep Programming and great care and attention to detail throughout the Soundset, Presets are very Diverse hence the soundset name 'Diversity' and cover many musical styles from Cyberpunk/Synthwave to Space/Ambient to Classical and Retro emulations of the great synths of past years.

The Soundset uses Novation Peaks latest Firmware and features assiocated with the update FX,Stereo Panning etc etc. I should add I have not encountered any problems with the latest Firmware in Hours upon hours of creating this Bank."

Introducing Aline - Compositional Hardware Step Sequencer by TATO Audio

video upload by TATO


via Perfect Circuit

"Combine real-time performance with compositional polish using Aline from Tato Audio, a flexible sixteen-channel sequencer with a variety of different controls for crafting interesting sequences in moments. It uses what's called "Engines" to create these sequences; there are a variety of different Engines, but each one can be divided into two types: Imperative and Parametric. These Engines can be sequenced in tandem with each other using sequencer channels to create new and interesting kinds of sequences, which can be crafted manually by inputting values, or performed using the onboard keyboard. Imperative Engines functions akin to more standard forms of sequencing, directly defining notes, their length, velocity, etc. On the other hand, Parametric Engines center around generative forms of sequencing, allowing you to define a set of parameters and generate phrases based on those values. These sequences can be edited after-the-fact to affect their parameters and structure, or even adjust a note's pitch in real-time along with the scale your sequence is in—this gives you a lot of freedom for evolving your sequences on the fly.

Unlike most sequencers, each of the sixteen channels can be used to sequence a variety of different parameters using Engines, and those individually sequenced parameters can directly interact with each other in groups to create complex phrases that evolve and change over time. Each sequencer channel can be set to different lengths, giving you instant access to complex polyrhythmic parameter modulation for intriguing results. Bring Euclidean rhythms into your sequences, arpeggiate your chords, generate lead lines and chord progressions in an instant, and more using the variety of available Engines.

Blend external MIDI data directly into your sequences using the spectrum of available inputs and outputs; receive clock directly from a host computer using the onboard USB-C port, or integrate your external gear using the TRS 3.5mm MIDI I/O jacks. Bring the flexibility of the Aline right to your Eurorack system using the provided 3.5mm CV jacks, including a clock I/O, and two channels of Pitch, Gate, and Velocity outputs. If you're looking for a new method of creating sequences for your performance or compositions, Aline from Tato Audio is a versatile toolbox full of features for helping you craft novel and exciting sequences.

ALINE FEATURES

16-channel performance sequencer
8 different Engines for generative and standard forms of sequencing
Engines are interactable with each other for complex results
Sequence Saving and Recall
Onboard keyboard for real-time note input
Modular connectivity via 3.5mm CV

Dawless Techno Jam with Didgeridoo & PVC Pipes | Circuit Tracks + Rhythm

video upload by Underground Modulation

"🔥 Dawless Techno Groovebox Jam | Custom Samples (Didgeridoo & PVC Pipes)

In this video I perform a dawless techno groovebox jam built around custom samples and organic textures. This track combines electronic grooves with unusual sound sources like didgeridoo and PVC pipe samples, creating a unique and experimental techno atmosphere.

The setup features two powerful grooveboxes:
🎛 Novation Circuit Tracks
🥁 Novation Circuit Rhythm

Both grooveboxes handle rhythmic and melodic elements, working together in a seamless combo setup. The Circuit Rhythm brings character through custom sounds, blending organic tones with electronic beats for a distinctive underground techno vibe.

This is a fully DAWLESS performance — everything is sequenced and performed live on the hardware.
Final mastering is done in Ableton Live to enhance clarity and punch while preserving the raw live energy.

Darkwave Futurepop Trance | Peak + Minilogue XD + Micromonsta 2 + Blofeld | Dawless Live Jam 19

video upload by STEHRÆON

"Live jam performed on my full hardware setup.

This one moves between darkwave futurepop, trance and a slight EBM edge, with a melancholic atmosphere and a strong forward pulse.

I was inspired by artists like VNV Nation, Covenant, Angels & Agony, Apoptygma Berzerk and Assemblage 23.

The Novation Peak really shines in this jam, carrying much of the emotional depth, harmonic movement and overall character of the track.

Rig: Novation Peak, Korg Minilogue XD, Micromonsta 2, Waldorf Blofeld, Roland TR-6S, Novation Circuit Tracks (sequencing only), recorded raw to Tascam Model 12.

Full uncut take.

All performed live, no DAW, no edits."

event horizon — ambient space synth journey

video upload by SOUNDS OF SYNTH

"Cinematic ambient music — atmospheric synth soundscapes for deep, immersive listening.

This track is made purely from a sine wave. The Novation Peak is playing a single oscillator which I've put through a Mood Mk2 pedal to create the ambient, spacey vibe.

I've cranked the distortion up on the Peak which is what gives the lead a bit of grit particularly towards the end.

I hope you enjoy. peace all.
