Rain Sound with TB-03 + OP-1 field + norns shield | Raindrop Fragment 2026-07-21 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece layering the sound of rain, piano micro loops, a deeply reverberated TB-03, and harmonies from the OP-1 field.

On the norns shield, a single-note piano melody is recorded and processed with granular synthesis using graintopia. The output is connected to the MOOD MKII, where additional micro loops are layered.

The TB-03 is processed with delay and reverb through LOST+FOUND, then further treated with deep reverb in Ableton Live.

On the OP-1 field, a 32-bar harmony is looped and processed with reverb through the blueSky. Hand-played phrases are layered during the latter half of the piece.

The bassline heard in the latter half is a recorded hand-played performance using a sound from the MOTIF-RACK ES."

60 New D-50 Inspired Performances for Your Korg Wavestate

video upload by Ian Dixon

"In this video, I'm demonstrating my new 'D-50 Collection' sound pack designed for the Korg Wavestate, Wavestate Native, and Wavestate Module. Inspired by the late 80s LA synthesis of the Roland D-50, these 60 performances and 170+ programs use the Wavestate's native samples and 4-layer architecture to recreate that distinctive, bright hybrid sound.

I’ll be walking through some of the classic recreations like Fantasia, Staccato Heaven, and Soundtrack, as well as original sounds built using the same D-50 concepts.

Pack Details:

60 Performances & 170+ Programs
No external samples required (uses built-in Wavestate samples)
Compatible with hardware and native versions

SP-404 & Field Recordings +OP-1 field Piano | Fake Green 2026-07-20 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A summer electronica piece where field recordings, abstract electronic sounds, and piano tones blend together.

This work is created with the OP-1 field and SP-404.

On the OP-1 field, the preset Sampler piano sound is performed with reverb through the blueSky.

On the SP-404, synth pad samples and field recording samples are played back. Micro loops are layered through the MOOD MKII, then the signal is processed through LOSSY to create a lo-fi texture."

Rest in Peace PENELOPE the Synth Kitty

Long time reader Adam Abraham wrote in to let me know his little synth kitty PENELOPE has passed away. You might recognize these pics from prior posts, Odyssey Cat and KORG MS20 with KORG 35 Filter & Synth Cat.

According to Adam, she's been a synthhead by his side since day one. These little friends keep us company along our journey. She will be sorely missed.

Terry Bozzio's Missing Person's 1980s Mini-Moog Model D with Roland MPU-101

via this Reverb listing

"From the Terry Bozzio, Missing Persons Collection.

Missing Persons was one of the most influential bands of the 1980s New Wave movement. The band was founded by Dale and Terry Bozzio in 1980. Their biggest hits, Words, Destination Unknown and Walking In L.A helped define and establish New Wave.

This 1980s Mini-Moog Model D synthesizer with a Roland MPU-101 Midi Interface were played in recordings and live performances with Missing Persons circa early-mid 1980s.

The keyboard was in excellent working condition with no issues when it was last used. It currently powers up and has no visual damage or any indicators that anything is malfunctioning. We do not have access to the gear needed to confirm its current working condition. It is being sold "as is".

This is an iconic piece of New Wave history that played a pivotal role in defining unique sound of one of the most innovative and influential groups in the 1980s New Wave Movement.

Includes a COA signed by Terry Bozzio."

Korg Opsix: Beyond FM with Wave Shaping

video upload by Ian Dixon

"In this Korg Opsix tutorial, I dive deep into the Wave Shaper effect—a feature inspired by the classic Korg 01/W. Discover how to move beyond standard FM synthesis to create complex, harmonically rich textures, including PPG-style vocal pads and D-50-inspired bell tones.

I explore how to use parallel routing and internal filters to tame these aggressive waveforms, turning digital noise into playable, lush patches. Whether you're looking for gritty bass or shimmering pads, the wave-folding capabilities of the Opsix open up a whole new world of sound design."

Can the Korg Opsix Recreate the Roland D-50?

video upload by Ian Dixon

"Can the Korg Opsix recreate the sound of the legendary Roland D-50 without using samples? In this video I build a D-50-inspired patch from scratch, using nothing but FM synthesis, wave shaping, layering and effects to see just how close the Opsix can get to Roland's classic LA synthesis sound.

Along the way I break down the patch step by step, recreating the D-50's signature combination of organ, bell tones and bright "spectrum" textures. Rather than copying a preset, this is a practical sound design walkthrough that explains why these layers work and how you can apply the same techniques to your own patches."
