Roland TR-626 with mods
video upload by Ground Grown Circuits
"Some extra knobs on the TR-626.
Top knob controls sound ROM clock (kinda like a bit rate control) lower knob controls the Gate array clock (pitch). Normally the gate array controls the clock on the sound ROM, so separating them allows you to keep the bit rate high while lowering the pitch and not fully bit crushing the sound (unless you want to)"

ako - Basic Microwaving (4 track tape version) - recording w MT-50, MMT-8, CZ-1000, PSS-480, TR505
video upload by ako
"Here's a video of the recording of the B-side for my new single (links to all formats below). It was recorded on a Yamaha MT-50 four track tape recorder with a Casio CZ-1000 (bass, this is honestly the weirdest synth I own and I think this the only track I’ve released with it on bc it’s just so weird), Yamaha PSS-480 (lead, despite masquerading as toy this thing packs some serious heat) Yamaha DX21 (chord layer) and Roland TR505 (drums – this gets some stick from TR purists, but it has some really usable sounds and the sequencer is super nice). The track was sequenced with the frankly legendary Alesis MMT-8 (the only hardware MIDI sequencer I’ve ever enjoyed using). Synchronisation between tape and MIDI was achieved using a Yamaha YMC10 MIDI clock to tape-synch converter. Dub style delays used on the lead came from a RocLab DD3000 (pretty obscure unit, sounds nice if you tweak it just right); Reverb came from a Behringer DR600 (solid reverb pedal, even more solid price at ~£25) and chorus for the bass via a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus - my favourite chorus, to me it just sounds how chorus should sound (this one is a vintage ‘made in Japan’ model, so fully analogue compared to later digital CH-1 models, and just sounds super warm). It was mixed on MT-50 but also with a Peavey Unity Series 2000-16 (for submixes and sends etc.), this mixer has a flavour all of it’s own, certainly not high fidelity, but kinda gritty and warm… The track is out now for stream and download (links below), hope you folks dig the track 🙂"

Tech Talk: Pancratio - Akai S950, Cirklon Sequencer & Creative Workflow (Electronic Beats TV)
video upload by Telekom Electronic Beats TV
"For this episode of Electronic Beats Tech Talk, we visited Pancratio in his studio to talk about music production, creative workflow, and his passion for vintage hardware. Born Gian Luigi Mendozza in Rome, Pancratio has built a unique sonic identity shaped by experimentation, texture, and a deep love for electronic music production. Alongside releasing a wide range of music, he also runs OTTA research lab, a creative studio where he helps other artists to develop their creative and artistic voice.
In this Tech Talk, Pancratio takes us through his studio setup, explains why old Akai samplers and the Cirklon sequencer play such an important role in his process, and shares some of his favorite synthesizers and production techniques."

Lihue Sosa [DAWless] | Streaming Sessions
video upload by LTGL Records
"This was a live streaming session in LTGL Records. Only with the Roland TR-8S"
Video description (Google translation below):
"Lihuel Sosa es un artista sonoro que construye tanto música como los instrumentos para hacerla. Su sonido se mueve en el territorio de lo electrónico, explorando desde el techno y el house hasta paisajes ambient y el ruido. En el directo, su enfoque es puramente performático: partiendo de una idea muy básica, teje sus piezas en tiempo real usando hardware y máquinas, con una clara preferencia por lo táctil frente a la computadora.
Esta conexión física con el sonido es la misma que lo impulsa a diseñar y construir sus propios instrumentos experimentales. Estos dispositivos, únicos y artesanales, no solo son el núcleo de su set en vivo, sino que también están disponibles para otros músicos, extendiendo su filosofía de creación a una comunidad de artistas. En su trabajo, la línea entre compositor, intérprete y artesano se desdibuja por completo."
Googlish:
"Lihuel Sosa is a sound artist who creates both music and the instruments used to produce it. His sound occupies the realm of electronic music, ranging from techno and house to ambient soundscapes and noise. His live approach is purely performance-based: starting from a simple concept, he weaves his pieces in real time using hardware and machines, favoring tactile interaction over the computer.
This physical connection to sound drives him to design and build his own experimental instruments. These unique, handcrafted devices are not only central to his live set but are also made available to other musicians, extending his creative philosophy to a wider community of artists. In his work, the boundaries between composer, performer, and artisan blur completely."

Distinctive Blue – Original 80s Synth-Pop Instrumental
video upload by Ian Dixon
"Distinctive Blue is an original 80s-inspired synth-pop instrumental built around driving bass, bright digital textures, layered synths and the polished electronic sound of the mid-1980s.
The track was created using a mixture of vintage and new synthesizers, combining vintage-inspired sounds, rhythmic sequences, atmospheric pads and melodic synth lines.
For this video, I wanted to show the actual instruments behind the music coming alive as the arrangement develops — from the first synth parts through to the full final mix.
🎹 Written, performed and produced by Ian Dixon.
Let me know in the comments what Distinctive Blue reminds you of and which synth sound stands out most.
