Seinfeld Bass Battle
video upload by General Midi Guy ⚡
George is the only one that looks like himself, ableit with a mustache. Wouldn't mind hearing a New Order/Joy Division Bass Battle.
"Is the Seinfeld theme played by a Korg M1 or by the 360 Systems Midi Bass, lets find out :p both have been credited Seinfeld Bass on various Internet forums.
This test is not 100% as i dont have the same mixer, fx etc 🛸

"Remember Seinfeld? Remember that poppin’ slap bass sound all over the show – in the titles, in the end credits, in every sting and transition? Well, this is the little box of tricks that made that sound. The 360 Systems MIDI Bass was an early sampled bass unit, later upgraded to a Pro version that rackmounted. It was a limited but (for its time) powerful-sounding machine that had swappable EPROMS to access additional sounds. We managed to score an original tabletop MIDI Bass plus a set of EPROMS covering a range of both classic and unusual sounds with a distinctly 80s vibe. There is, of course, ‘that’ Seinfeld Slap bass; but if you don’t fancy reliving the glory days of American comedy, there are seven other sounds to choose from – a great Fender Jazz bass, through a punchy 80s synth bass to a rather cool Stick bass (think Tony Levin playing Peter Gabriel’s live gigs and you’ve got it)… and more.
MIDI Bass hardware Kontakt instrumentThe MIDI Bass is a simple little device – MIDI notes go in, bass sounds come out – so we’ve kept things simple for our recreation, which just adds some useful compression and tube saturation controls and leaves the rest up to you and your funk."

Partials & Discrepancies 1.0.5 | New One Revolution Setting Explained
video upload by Unusable Engineering
"A short video showing the new One Revolution setting in Partials & Discrepancies 1.0.5.
This update is a small, but useful. The main new feature is the One Revolution behavior in the slot sequencer when running in clocked modes.
If both KBD Reset and KBD Next are turned on in a clocked mode, the sequencer will now do one full revolution on key down and then stop at the last step.
That opens up some nice behavior depending on the rate:
at higher rates, you can get more static sounds with quite wild transients
at slower rates, it works really nicely for sounds like pads that settle into place over time
This video goes through how it works and shows a few improvised examples.
Version 1.0.5 also includes slightly smoother node dragging.

boards of canada - blood in the labyrinth (cover)
video upload by fischek
"this was a really fun and intricate puzzle (labyrinth? :)) of a cover — as it often seems to be with boards of canada.
'blood in the labyrinth' is a beautiful track, probably my favourite on inferno, with those haunting vocal samples that feel like they were somehow made for it.
i tried to stay close to the atmosphere of the original, while finding my way through it — the textures, the timing, the small details...
had a lot of fun making this one (and took me quite a while to make it).
p.s. will prob work on naraka next :)

Synapse Audio Dune 3: 50 Vintage Arp Presets. Sound Demo/Jam
video upload by Anton Anru
📻 “Nostalgic Flow” is a bank of 50 arpeggio presets for Synapse Audio Dune 3.
In this bank, I wanted to explore the plugin's broad sonic capabilities, including various filter modes, filter FX, different oscillator types, and effects. I extensively modulated the parameters of these modules using tempo-synced LFOs and MSEGs to create dynamic sound.
I also carefully worked with arpeggio parameters to add complexity—some presets even sound like sequences or chords.
📦 The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/dune...
💾 The bank covers a wide range of timbres: warm, deep, dreamy, soft, noisy, bright, dark, distorted, cold, metallic. They will fit many genres, styles, arrangements, and mixes.
🎛 All presets respond to Velocity, affecting volume and brightness, allowing for accents in the pattern.
ModWheel adds expression to the sound through filter opening, detuning, vibrato, or additional movement.
💎 The soundset is universal, the arpeggios are suitable for all genres of electronic music, including Techno, House, Trance, Lounge, Downtempo, Funk, Disco, Pop, Acid, Hardcore, IDM, Drum'n'Bass, Breaks, Breakbeat, Trap, Electro, Ambient, Dubstep, EDM, Synth-Pop and others.
💡 Ensure that you are using the latest software version.
To add presets to the collection, open the plugin Browser, click Menu in the upper left corner, then select Import Folder, and specify the folder on your computer.

"We explore the Spectral Resonator from BLEASS. This captivating effect is based on harmonic resonator banks that are excited by the spectrum of incoming signals. In some ways, it is like a vocoder, but can also act like a resonant filter bank. It can make sounds ranging from delicate chimes to metallic roars and lots in between, and can be used with a variety of sonic material like noise sources, voices, acoustic instruments and drums.

Harmonic Dissector 1.2.0 | New Motion Features and Sound Examples
video upload by Unusable Engineering
"A no-talking sound example video of the updated Harmonic Dissector 1.2.0.
The main addition in this update is motion. The sound engine itself is unchanged, but the plugin now has a new bottom section with a 4-slot slewed preset system, clocked stepping, slot on/off control, copy/paste between slots, and randomization for both filter sections.
This video shows the updated functions in use with a static Partials & Discrepancies patch, plus examples with Curves & Membranes and an emulated Rhodes. Some of the examples also use Geometry Delay and Geometry Reverb.
What I like about this update is that it opens the plugin up quite a lot without changing what it fundamentally is. Even just moving panning or level between slots can get you into tremolo and auto-pan territory, and because there are two parallel filter sections, it can go much further than that. Of course it also works well for stepping or sweeping filter movement.
A small tip if you want some extra fun: run the LFOs at audio rate and modulate the depth of FM and BandWidth per step.
Update notes
added randomization of both sections
added the 4-slot slewed preset system from the Geometry series
added clocked stepping via internal or host clock
added slot on/off by double-click or shift-click
added copy/paste to make it easier to align the 4 slots
added value labels for LFO rates
brightened the interface and increased contrast for better usability on lower-contrast screens

Partials & Discrepancies 1.0.4 | Foot Control Slot Sweeps + Red MPE Mode
video upload by Unusable Engineering
"A no-talking Partials & Discrepancies 1.0.4 demo focused mainly on foot-controlled slot sweeps.
This patch is played on Arturia PolyBrute 12 in MPE mode, with CC4 / foot control used to sweep through the slot states in real time. I am trying to show how the synth can be played more more expressively with pressure controlled swells and with the slot motion under direct foot control rather than just running as a sequence.
It uses the new red Unusable MPE mode, added in version 1.0.4. In this mode, Slide / CC74 opens the filter, while Pressure controls level behavior for more expressive swells. (the PB12 don't have slide, so it is only pressure used in this video). The screen notes explain what is happening as the patch moves.
This update also includes improvements to MPE voice visuals, smoother Resonance and Res Warp, Versioned Save in the preset browser, better editor responsiveness, and a few other fixes. Release notes in the news section of the website.

Partials & Discrepancies | MPE Demo with Full Bundle v2
video upload by Unusable Engineering
"A no-talking Partials & Discrepancies sound example video focused on MPE playing and pairings with effects from the Full Bundle v2.
This video uses the new "red Unusable" MPE mode and explores a range of sounds, from dirtier and more broken textures to more cinematic and laid-back ones, plus a few more straight sounds and some small tricks along the way. The screen notes explain what is happening as the patches move.
The MPE playing here is done with three different controllers: ROLI Seaboard Rise 2, Expressive E Osmose, and Arturia PolyBrute. The idea is not just to show the synth on its own, but to show how Partials & Discrepancies behaves when played expressively and paired with effects from the full Unusable Engineering range.
So this is less a walkthrough and more a practical look at what the synth can do with MPE and the full bundle around it.

Sine Wave Ambient with Ambient Engine v1.2 & OP-1 field | Archipelago 2026-07-05 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"Ambient music created with Ambient Engine ( https://store.atnr.net/ambient-engine... ) and the @teenageengineering OP-1 field. Sine wave microloops and reverb-soaked synth tones fill the space.
This session uses Ambient Engine v1.2, currently in development. Sine waves are loaded into its four sample players and triggered by MIDI notes from Ableton Live. The resulting sounds pass through Ambient Engine's built-in MicroLoop effect, delay, and plate reverb, forming abstract masses of sound.
On the OP-1 field, a synth pad is performed on the DIGITAL synth with the built-in reverb applied, and the output is further processed with a @strymon blueSky reverb.

GForce & Sequential Prophet 5 | PAD | Sounds Like This (No Talking)
video uploads by Sounds Like This
"What does the GForce & Sequential PROHET 5 VST / AU Synth sound like? It sounds like this!
Prophet~5 was released by Sequential Circuits in 1978, as Dave Smith’s five-voice analogue synthesizer brought polyphony, patch memory and hands-on control together in a way that reshaped how musicians wrote, recorded and performed with synthesis.
While there are several software versions of the Prophet 5, this is the first-ever to be officially endorsed by Sequential."
