Turning the Perkons HD-01 Into a Drone Synth

video upload by Mark Cee

"Drone sounds never really appealed to me until I started studying textures. Over time I became drawn to the idea — and to the tools used to compose this way. What I didn't realize is that I've had a very capable drone synth right under my nose for the last 3 years.
The Perkons HD-01 is usually known as a drum machine, but each voice is so much more which makes it great for sustained, evolving textures. I tuned each voice and sent it all through my Meris Mercury X for reverb. I couldn't help adding a few notes from the OP-1 Field on top. After that I just jammed and was reminded how the simplicity of an instrument like this never grows old. It's been my buddy since the day it was released and still brings me a lot of joy to this day."

Making a GlitchCore Jam with Pikocore + AW noisemaker + EP136 Sidekick

video upload by AudioWanderer

"Just testing the new mixer from Teenage Engineering, the EP-136 Sidekick with this combo, one of my favorites lately, the Pikocore and the AW noisemaker. Great duo to make this kind of f#cked up glitch core thing. Noise ad nauseam.

This AW noise maker is a glitch synth of mine... Yes, an AW brand new synth that I've just created. Sure you are familiar with it already. But in case you missed out... Here you have more info about it: https://audiowanderer.com/AW/aw-noise..."

TE OP-XY SOFT GLITCHES AND TOUCH DESIGNER NOISE

video upload by keinseier

"Having the luxury of choosing between different tool is so incredible - BUT it makes it hard to divide up the available time!
Because investing time to try and thoroughly learn one thing is incredibly rewarding. How to choose? (This might be relevant even more right after Superbooth 26)
This is some Touchdesigner and some OP-XY."

Teenage Engineering Introduces the K.O.–SIDEKICK

video upload by teenage engineering

"the plan was to build a mixer for the K.O. II. but it became more of an effect-box with a built-in sequencer. quite cool actually. see it as a dj mixer with a 2-bar looping effects-automator, or whatever you wanna call it. the perfect companion for live-remixing your beats. making them even more you. so... a mixer, an effect box, a sequencer. we call it the K.O.–SIDEKICK.

Get yours here

The K.O.-Sidekick is a two-channel mixer with built-in effects, per-channel compressor, and three-band EQ for each channel. Compact and lightweight, each channel has a 3.5mm stereo input, a 3.5mm output, and you can even daisy chain multiple together using the Aux input.⁠ ⁠

Use the six available K.O. Performance Effects for realtime excitement—choose between a Filter, Tape Emulation, Delay, Beat Repeat, Tremolo, and Siren. A paddle control lets you do realtime manipulation when an effect is engaged and an internal beat detection will sync your effects to the audio signal.⁠ ⁠

Whether you have a pair of EP-133s, or just want a slim two-channel mixer for your set-up, the Teenage Engineering K.O.-Sidekick is a stalwart companion on studio or stage.⁠"

"It’s been a while! My day job has been keeping me very busy, but I’m still alive.

I’ve received several comments asking how to sync the MicroFreak with the PO-12, so I made a short explanation video. This is not a comprehensive guide—I'm only covering the patterns I understand myself—but I hope it helps."

Crunchy & Chill - lofi generative beats with GREAT CONJUNCTION, Zeptocore & NTS-3

video upload by Arman Bohn

"My devices can be found here:
https://distropolisgoods.com/

Another experiment for the OST I'm working on. Pairing GREAT CONJUNCTION with Zeptocore for some lofi goodness. This one is coming across a little nice/upbeat for the three remaining pieces of the soundtrack I need to work out. Doesn't really fit a:

1) Mausoleum
2) Clown Pit
3) Giant Chomping Face

Well - it could be a chomping face - with the right crunching sounds.

I'll probably throw this into another mode/scale and crank up the tempo a bit to give it a bit more tension."

Electronica with OP-1 field and OP-1 Loops | Ealry Arrival of Summer 2026-04-20 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece created with ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field and OP-1.

On the OP-1 field, a 32 bar loop is performed and recorded in advance. On top of this, an electric piano phrase from the SAMPLER is recorded using the ENDLESS sequencer. The OP-1 field is connected to ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY with filtering and reverb applied. The pitch is occasionally modulated using the pitch knob.

On the OP-1, a drum sequence from DBOX runs with the ENDLESS sequencer. The built in CWO effect is adjusted using the feedback control. The clock on ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII is also manipulated to introduce pitch variation and further changes in tone."

Creating a grunge lofi jam with Semimodular banana synths.

The DK is sending CV to the blue inputs of the Peterlin which gets the squelching output of the Peterlin to follow the envelopes of the DK.

The DK is sending clock to the PO33 to get the beats in time. I’m able to use the DK as master by sending the clock to the PO33 and the and CV to the Peterlin.

The QI is being used for a simple delay and Chorus on the Dk."
