Why Most People Use Sequencers Wrong (Do THIS Instead)
video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music
"Are you making this BIG sequencer mistake? Most people use sequencers to control pitch—but that’s not the only approach, especially if you want your synthesizer to sound alive and musical when spontaneously creating new music. In this video, I'll reveal one of my favorite sequencer tricks: using sequencers for accent and rhythm, while controlling pitch directly from the keyboard.
This technique lets you stay spontaneous with the notes and adds real-time surprises when creating songs or performing live (as opposed to working in a more controlled DAW enviornment). I'll wals you through the patch, gives step-by-step sequencer tips, and plays musical examples so you can hear exactly how it transforms a sequence into something dynamic and expressive.
✨ What you’ll learn in this video:
• How to use a sequencer for rhythm and accents instead of pitch
• Why controlling pitch on the keyboard in real-time can make your sequencer playing more musical
• Patch examples and live demonstrations on vintage synthesizers
• A mindset shift that will change how you think about sequencers forever"

Lofi Ambient w/ Double Looper and Sequenced DC Motor drone sound : Silent fall 2025-09-12 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with @KOMAelektronik Field Kit, @SequentialLLC Prophet-10, and tape loops. Lo-fi ambient where the drone sound of a motor’s vibration—picked up with a guitar pickup—forms the foundation, while piano recordings on tape intertwine through two loopers.
A DC motor is connected to the Field Kit, with its rotation speed controlled via CV from the @KORG_INC SQ-1 to create pitch. The motor’s vibration is picked up with a guitar pickup and used as a drone sound, processed with reverb through @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MKII.
The Prophet-10 is processed through LOSSY for a slightly lo-fi texture, with added reverb.
The @WeAreRewind1 tape player contains an endless cassette with a three-minute piano performance recorded on it. While playing it back, loops are created and performed simultaneously using two loopers: the AKAI U400 and MICROCOSM."

Rain sound in Tokyo and Ambient Music session : September Transition 2025-09-10 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with Tokyo rain sounds, @SequentialLLC Prophet-10, and Hamon. Ambient music where synthesizer tones, Hamon, and gong sounds resonate over the background of rainfall.
The Prophet-10 is recorded with light delay added through the BOSS DD-6.
Percussion includes gong and Hamon, recorded with an NT-4 microphone.
The rain was recorded in Tokyo on the afternoon of September 10, 2025. At first it was a heavy downpour, but by the latter half of the piece the intensity weakens and the rain sounds become sparser."

Roger Linn: The King of Drum Machines
video upload by Jack Pearson
"This is the story of Roger Linn, a guitarist from Los Angeles whose innovative sample based drum machines changed the sound of music forever.
Special thanks to Roger himself for featuring my video in the September Linnstrument newsletter (https://myemail.constantcontact.com/L...) and on his website (https://www.rogerlinndesign.com).
I first learned about Roger a few years ago while making a film called “The History of Sampling in Music” [below]. While I didn’t know anything about Roger at the time, I was astounded to learn that he had created both the LinnDrum and the MPC, which shaped the punchy robotic drums of 80s pop music and the grungy experimental grooves of 90s hip-hop respectively. I did a quick bit of research about him for my video, but didn’t really dig much deeper than that… However, a few months ago I decided to rewatch my old project, which reignited my interest in Roger’s story and gave me the idea for this video.
Like my previous project, I’d initially planned to write a script and do a voice-over, but after discovering the assortment of recorded interviews that Roger has already appeared in, I realised that I could just chop them up and have Roger tell his own story. I thought 'hey that sounds pretty cool, how hard could it be?'
Well, let’s just say I’m probably never going to do something like this again. I did enjoy making this and I am proud of it, but if I had just done a voice-over not only would it have been easier to make, but I also could’ve included a lot information without it feeling incredibly clunky. The initial cut was about 26 minutes, but I cut out loads of stuff for the sake of pacing and trying to stick to narrative beats. Roger is a fascinating guy with a lot of great anecdotes though, so if you enjoyed this video then I highly recommend you seek out some of the podcasts/interviews he’s done over the years.
I planned on making all the music for this film myself, but decided it would be better to use music that relates to Roger in some way (for example, he co-wrote 'Promises' by Eric Clapton and 'Quittin’ Time' by Mary Chapin Carpenter, and first used the LM-1 Drum Computer on the Leon Russell album 'Life & Love' which featured the track 'One More Love Song'.) I salvaged one of these demo tracks for the credits, but you can listen it and a few more scrapped tracks here:
Since you’ve read this far, here’s a few bonus Roger facts that got cut out of the video:
The LM-1 was featured on the best selling album of all time - 'Thriller' by Micheal Jackson, as well as other early 80s hits like 'Maneater' by Hall & Oates, 'Valerie' by Steve Winwood, and for some reason - the original 1983 Thomas the Tank Engine theme song.
Roger hired his friend, a professional session drummer called Art Wood, to record most of the sounds on the LM-1. They set up the kit in Roger’s closet, recording each of the drums one at a time… then called it a day. Given the popularity of the songs featuring these recordings - Art Wood is technically one of most prominently featured drummers of all time.
And here's two bonus facts about this video:
The title 'The King of Drum Machines' is a quote from the father of MIDI - Dave Smith, when he spoke about Roger and the Tempest drum machine (which they built together) on a Sweetwater panel in 2015. [below]
This video was released on Roger’s 70th birthday.
I hope you enjoy it!" The History of Sampling in Music (2022)

The Inventors of Synth (Roger Linn, Dave Smith & Tom Oberheim) - Sweetwater Gearfest 2015
video upload by Sweetwater
"Join Mitch Gallagher as he moderates 'The Inventors of Synth' panel discussion at Gearfest '15. Featuring industry icons Dave Smith, Tom Oberheim, and Roger Linn discussing their thoughts on the past, present, and future of analog synthesizers and controllers.
Legendary synth designer and Grammy-winner Dave Smith was the founder of Sequential Circuits in the mid-'70s. His Prophet-5, the world's first fully programmable polyphonic synth, was the first musical instrument with an embedded microprocessor. Dave is also known as the driving force behind the development of the MIDI specification. He has continued to innovate, and recently unveiled his latest synth creation, the Sequential Prophet-6.
A pioneer of the synth and MIDI world, Tom Oberheim co-designed the Synthesizer Expansion Module (SEM), a device that allowed musicians to simultaneously combine live playing and sequenced playback - a concept that pre-dated the MIDI revolution. In 1981, he, along with Roland's Ikutaro Kakehashi and Sequential's Dave Smith, developed the MIDI spec, which changed the course of modern music. Tom recently re-released his famed Two Voice synth.
Technical Grammy award-winner Roger Linn invented the LM-1 Drum Computer (the first sample-based drum machine) in 1979. He later designed the Akai MPC60, which combined a sampling drum machine with a real-time MIDI sequencer. His guitar effects unit, AdrenaLinn, has been used on hit recordings by John Mayer and Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 2014 he released the LinnStrument, an expressive MIDI performance controller."

Rhythms of Everyday Sounds and Kalimba : Intrusion 2025-09-08 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with @teenageengineering EP-133 K.O.II, OP-1 field, kalimba, and @SequentialLLC Prophet-10. Electronica built from rhythms made by sampling percussion and everyday sounds, layered with kalimba and synthesizers.
On the EP-133 K.O.II, I sampled the sound of a children’s drum and other objects around the room to construct the rhythm. Using Punch-in FX, I added further processing with the @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MKII, applying SLIP, pitch shifting, and micro-loop effects.
The OP-1 field is synced to the EP-133 via USB, looping a 16-bar synth harmony while also performing melodies.
The kalimba is recorded with an NT-4 microphone.
On the Prophet-10, I adjust the filter cutoff while playing. Its output runs through the @BOSSinfoglobal DD-6 for delay and is further processed with @ChaseBlissAudio LOSSY for reverb and lo-fi effects."

Juno 106 chorus board rack conversion
video upload by Harry Axten
"Something I built for myself earlier this year after scoring the chorus board from a scrapped Juno 106 on eBay. Housed it in a 1U rack box with a power supply and controls for the chorus mode and high-pass filter. Works exactly as it does in the synth with 1 mono in and 2 stereo outs. Demonstrated with a Prophet 5 Rev 3.3."
