This TINY Setup Makes MASSIVE Jungle: PO-33 KO! + Monotron Delay

video upload by Pocket Trax

"Back with some more pocket-sized Jungle energy.

👉 Pocket Jungle Toolkit 2 available on Patreon: / pocket-jungle-2-168395255

Once again I’m pushing the PO-33 KO! + Monotron Delay. Such a ridiculously small setup for how BIG and dirty it can sound. I’m also using the breaks from my latest Pocket Jungle Toolkit 2 in this jam. I wanted to test in a performance and, well... I can confirm: they hit hardships as you can feel. The toolkit is available on my Patreon

There’s something about making Jungle on these little machines that just clicks, with a unmatched vibe and energy.

Ambient Electronica w/ Tokyo Field Recordings & Sampled Kalimba | Autumn Sounds 2026-09-18 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Ambient electronica built from autumn field recordings captured in Tokyo and delicate kalimba sounds.

This piece was created with the Prophet-10, OP-1 field, a tape loop, and field recordings.

The Prophet-10 is connected to the MICROCOSM, where deep reverb is applied while harmonies are performed.

On the OP-1 field, a kalimba sound is sampled and played using the ENDLESS sequencer. The MOOD MKII adds delay while micro loops are layered over the sound.

The tape loop uses an endless cassette with a one-minute recorded piano performance. The signal is processed through LOST+FOUND with delay and reverb.

The field recordings were captured on an iPhone in a park in Tokyo."

Ambient Minimal w/ Moog Arpeggios & Synth Harmony | Natural and Plane 2026-09-17 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Ambient minimal music built from overlapping arpeggios and harmonies.

This piece was created with the Moog Grandmother, Prophet-10, and OP-1 field.

On the Prophet-10, harmonies are performed using a pad sound while reverb is applied through the MICROCOSM.

On the Grandmother, the arpeggiator is held while modulation is applied to the filter envelope amount.

On the OP-1 field, a synth lead is performed while modulation is applied through LOST+FOUND."

Minimal Ambient w/ Prophet-10, OP-1 field, and MS-20 | Cape 2026-09-15 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Minimal ambient music built from evolving minimal phrases and synthesizer performances.

This piece was created with the Prophet-10, OP-1 field, and MS-20.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed through the blueSky with reverb.

On the OP-1 field, phrases are played and gradually varied using the ENDLESS sequencer. The MOOD MKII layers micro loop effects over the sound.

Toward the end, a sustained MS-20 tone processed through the MICROCOSM reverb is layered into the piece while the filter cutoff on the Prophet-10 is gradually opened."

Experimental Electronica w/ Analog Synths & Ambient Engine | Transcendence 2026-09-14 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Experimental electronica created with the Prophet-10, Moog One, Nord Lead, MS-20, OP-1 field, and Ambient Engine.

This is the 1000th entry in the Daily Sound Experiment series.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed with reverb through the blueSky.

The MS-20 plays a bassline via MIDI sent from Ableton Live. During the intro, the filter resonance is adjusted in real time.

The Nord Lead and Moog One are performed by hand during the middle of the track.

The OP-1 field plays a rhythm pattern via MIDI from Ableton Live. Modulation is applied with the CWO effect, while the MOTHER effect adds gated reverb. The output is then processed through the MOOD MKII with additional pitch shifting and delay.

In Ambient Engine, sine wave samples are loaded and played as sustained tones while the MicroLoop effect is applied.

On this channel I explore many styles of music using field recordings, DIY instruments, and hardware.

Motionless // Teenage Engineering OP-1f and Ableton Live ambient

video upload by Stefano Mattia

"I made this piece on my OP-1f a few days after my neighbour’s cat died. We found him motionless on the terrace, under the rain.

I had seen him around many times, in the ordinary way you notice the familiar things around you without really thinking about them.

I don’t have much else to say about it. I just made this small piece and somehow it felt right to dedicate it to him."

Elastic Melody for iPad – Feature Demo with K.O. Sidekick

video upload by Elastic Instruments

"Elastic Melody has just received a huge update, significantly expanding its sonic possibilities and sequencing capabilities!

In this performance, Elastic Melody runs on two iPads: the left iPad mainly provides the rhythms, while the right one plays the bassline. Both devices stay perfectly synchronized via Ableton Link.

Available as both a standalone app and an AUv3 plug-in for iOS and macOS, Elastic Melody features three channels of synthesized sounds, an analog-style step sequencer, and four master effects—making it easy to create evolving melodies, basslines, rhythms, and polyrhythms.

The Teenage Engineering K.O. Sidekick is a great choice for this setup. Here, it acts as both an audio interface and a performance mixer for live effects. Its tempo tracking keeps the effects synchronized with the performance.

In case you’re wondering: This video is not sponsored by Teenage Engineering. I bought the Sidekick myself—I’ve simply been having a lot of fun with it lately! ;)"

Circuit-Bent Drum VST, OP-1 field, YAMAHA CS01 Electronica | Rest and Drop 2026-09-09 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Experimental electronica featuring synth performances and a VST inspired by a circuit-bent 1980s drum machine.

On the YAMAHA CS01, a synth lead is performed while the MOOD MKII shifts the pitch and the ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE adds delay.

On the OP-1 field, each press of the keyboard triggers a phrase from the ENDLESS sequencer. Modulation is applied using the built-in CWO effect.

The rhythm is created with Bent 505, a VST currently in development. With the Jitter switch enabled, the sound changes with every trigger."

Teenage Engineering K.O. Sidekick with two iPads — Live Jam

"The K.O. Sidekick is the perfect sparring partner for iOS devices! 🥊🥊
It’s so much fun to play with :)

In this video, the Sidekick serves as both an audio interface and a performance mixer for live effects [note the tape loop]. Elastic Melody runs on two iPads: the left iPad mainly provides the rhythms, while the right one plays the bassline. The two iPads stay in sync via Ableton Link, while the K.O. Sidekick uses tempo tracking to keep its effects in sync. Very cool!

Minimal Electronic Glockenspiel OP-1 field Modular Synth | View on the other side 2026-09-03 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with glockenspiel, modular synthesizer, and OP-1 field.

On the modular synthesizer, a bass phrase and synth pad are played. Both sequences are controlled with ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬ René. The synth pad is filtered through QPAS and processed with spatial effects using Mimeophon.

On the OP-1 field, a minimal phrase is played randomly using the ENDLESS sequencer. The output is processed through the MOOD MKII with delay while micro loops are layered over the sound.

The glockenspiel is recorded with an NT-4 microphone and a piezo element. The piezo signal is connected to the TX-6 for additional gain, EQ, and reverb."

Pocket Jungle Toolkit 2 | Jungle in Your Pocket

video upload by Pocket Trax

"Here we go! Pocket Jungle Toolkit 2 has landed. 🪖🔊

👉 Available on Patreon: / pocket-jungle-2-168395255
Patreon paid members get the toolkit as part of their membership ✨

What’s inside?

48 tailored Amen break chops
16 classic Amen break patterns
2 heavyweight basses
1 90s rave synth
2 classic jungle alarms

You’ll also find:

PO-33 Project file — everything is prepared specifically for the PO-33 workflow, so you can load it up and start making bangers straight away.
Individual WAV files — use the sounds with other gear, another sampler or your DAW.
Amen break pattern screenshots — a collection of patterns to see how they are built and rebuild them whenever you want.

All sounds are in F#. The melodic slots can be played chromatically, and the breaks are at 165 BPM.

The whole idea behind this toolkit is simple:

Make the Amen break your own.

Swap the chops. Sequence them. Rearrange the patterns. Build completely new breaks. Take the included patterns apart and turn them into something that’s yours.

Don’t just play the breaks. Build your own.

Now drop some bangers. 🪖🔥🔊"

BOARDS OF CANADA - Sherbert Heat (COVER -Prophet REV2, Analog Heat+FX, OP-1 field)

video upload by nicola neeco

"Here’s my interpretation of Sherbert Head by Boards of Canada, from The Campfire Headphase album.
It’s a relatively underrated piece, but still one of the most beautiful short tracks they’ve ever made.

I used the Prophet Rev2, Elektron Analog Heat +FX, and Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field.
The Analog Heat was key in shaping the noise, saturation, and lo-fi texture that I wanted to bring into this version."

Electronica w/ Electric Kalimba & OP-1 field Looping Piano | Gentle Rain 2026-08-30 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece where electric kalimba and looping piano sounds overlap.

On the LOTTIE CANTO Color Palette electric kalimba, the built-in delay is used while the MOOD MKII adds further delay and layers micro loops over the sound.

On the OP-1 field, a 16-bar piano performance is recorded and played back in reverse during the intro and outro. The built-in TERMINAL effect applies bit reduction, followed by reverb through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

On ‪@SONICWARE‬ AmbientØ, synth pads are performed. The output is processed through LOST+FOUND with reverb and delay."
