This is a short edit of the demo song I made for an old in-depth tutorial of the MMT-8 and HR-16 I once had on my channel.

Gear used:
Alesis MMT-8 sequencer and HR-16 drum machine.

INARA Brings Modern Control and Expanded Capabilities to Classic Synthesizers



Press release follows:

Troy, Illinois — November 11, 2026 — Five Lined Engineering, LLC announces INARA, a line of purpose-built MIDI controllers that bring modern capabilities to classic synthesizers.

INARA combines hands-on controls, expanded patch storage, and modern MIDI connectivity for musicians who want to get more from their existing instruments.

Far more than a generalized surface controller, each INARA model is designed specifically for the synthesizer it supports. Features include a customized control surface, real-time MIDI Control Change (CC) control, generously expanded patch storage through virtual cartridges, and USB-MIDI connectivity. Custom firmware enhancements also improve the experience of using vintage instruments; for example, optimizing the Yamaha DX7’s keyboard velocity response.

INARA eliminates the need for drivers, control-surface templates, and manual MIDI message editing: connect it and start playing. For hands-on operation, it features ergonomically spaced, full-size tactile buttons, 45mm long-throw faders, and a large LCD display. Its compact, lightweight design combines solid construction with rubber feet for secure placement on a synthesizer or other equipment.

“Five Lined Engineering is excited to introduce INARA to musicians who are as passionate about their vintage synthesizers as we are, ” said Gary Sommer, Managing Director of Five Lined Engineering. “It is striking how inspiring, accessible, and fun these synthesizers are when partnered with INARA.”

INARA models are available for the Yamaha DX7, Korg DW-8000, and Roland Alpha Juno.

Additional models are planned. For USB-MIDI connectivity, INARA is class-compliant and compatible with operating systems that support class-compliant USB-MIDI devices.

INARA is available immediately in the United States with each model priced at $299 through www.fivelined.com/inara/. Visit www.fivelined.com for more information.

Home Concert 87 (Ambient liveset for rainy autumn evenings with Waldorf Crema, Protein, Super6)


video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"The wind was rattling the trees and the rain was falling against my windows while I was composing the music for Home Concert 87. I captured the noise from outside with a microphone and made it part of the music. The whole set was created using a layout with only eight channels:

1: UDO Super 6 (Parts 3 - 5)
2: Sequential Prophet 10 (Parts 1-3 & 5)
3: Waldorf Protein (Parts 1, 3, 5)
4: Waldorf Crema (Parts 1 - 4)
5: Field Recordings (Parts 1, 2, 4)
6: UDO DMNO (Parts 2 - 4)
7: Waldorf Microwave 1 (Parts 1, 2)
8: Roland JV 1080 (Part 5)

All patches, sounds, sequences and arrangements were made by a (cat assisted) human. No AI tools were used in the creation of the music, video and artwork.

Synthfest | UK 2026 - The Roland System 700 Recreated


video upload by Starsky Carr

"Analogue Solutions have built a full-scale recreation of the Roland System 700, and it is enormous. This is the Series 700, demoed at Synthfest UK 2026 by Tom Carpenter of Analogue Solutions - in production, available to order now, and about £33,000 for the complete system.

It sits alongside the Colossus and the Maximus as one of those instruments most of us will only ever see at a show. I've had both of those in here, and this is the same league: wooden cabinets, full-size jacks, and a huge amount of custom-made parts because almost nothing off the shelf would do.

What Tom walks through:

The main cab - a complete synthesizer in its own right, partially pre-patched
The sequencer
The oscillator bank: six oscillators
Filters and VCAs
Accessory blocks: phaser, delay and extra filters
How you can start with the main block and add the side blocks over time
Why it costs what it costs

Crucially, this isn't vapourware or a crowdfunding promise. It's in production now.

About the sound: same problem as my Loom video - my radio mic had silently reset itself to not record, so Tom's audio is gone. I've subtitled his side of the conversation instead. Apologies, but the synth is worth seeing."
