Analogue Ambient Sci-Fi by Benge


video upload by Memetune Studio

"Here is a long version of the sci-fi inspired videos for The Evolving Riddle Volume 2

Featuring interpretations of some of my favourite sci-fi visual artists brought to life in the Memetune Video Lab

The music was made on the following instruments: Crumar DS2, Buchla 100, ARP 2500, Buchla 200, Roland SH5 and System 100, each track being a live improvisation on each system using a modular looper and effects system"

"Up for sale is my favorite Roland synth of the 70s era. It has all the raw tone of the System 100 with way more features and quite a stunning look. Check out the attached video of a quick demo of this actual SH5. It all works great and sounds great. Hard to find one fully functional and looking this good.. heck, hard to find at all. I found using this with ease and nothing that hindered use or performance. It always delivered what I needed in sessions. If I had to be REALLY picky.. it could use a spray of contact cleaner on a pot or two and on a rare occasion a key might double trigger (this era of roland synths is notorious for that) BUT as you can see and hear from the video, it's fine the way it is. I never found the need to detail it. Just stating for those that might be expecting MINT. Otherwise.. this is an amazing example of an SH5. Basses, leads, modulated madness.. it delivers."

Espen Kraft's Roland Alpha Juno-2 editor & librarian | Free to download!

"My sound patches for the Roland Alpha Juno here: https://espenkraft.com
Get the editor for free at my web shop here: https://espenkraft.com/b/VnqI9

Roland Alpha Juno-2 patch editor and librarian — it runs in your web browser.
A tool I built to edit and organise sounds on the Alpha Juno-2.
It might work on your Alpha Juno-1 and MKS-50 as well, but it has not been tested.

Tweak every parameter on screen, pull single patches or whole banks off the synth, back them up as sysex files, or load sysex files from your computer and into the hardware.

It runs in a web browser (Chrome or Edge — not Firefox or Safari) with a MIDI interface connected to the synth. It works on PC and Mac, and under Linux.

It's my personal tool shared for anyone who wants it. Setup instructions come in a short readme with the file, but I offer no support on this. It's shared 'as is'."

A Juno-60 Lost in a Loop


video upload by BellaBell

"The Roland Juno-60 is once again at the center of this performance, this time built around a looping texture created with the Hologram Microcosm.

The Juno is fed into the Microcosm to create the repeating foundation, then shaped further with saturation from the Chase Bliss Generation Loss and processing from the Hologram Chroma Console.

Throughout the performance, Tao uses slow filter swells on the Juno-60, pushing its resonance to bring out more psychedelic tones and movement from the synth.
