Minimal Ambient w / Tenori-on, OP-1 field, volca fm | Herbal Gathering 2025-04-27 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the YAMAHA TENORI-ON, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@KORG_INC‬ volca fm2. Repeating harmonies are washed in effect-laden electronic tones.

TENORI-ON: A phrase is looped with the RANDOM sequencer, then processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II and GENERATION LOSS MK II.

OP-1 field: I first record a harmony loop, then overdub parts with the internal synth. The output is routed through ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY for modulation, reverb, and filtering.

volca fm2: A slow-attack patch is played and further degraded into lo-fi textures with ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY."

Beat w/ Digitone, OP-1 field, norns shield, MOOD MK II | End of Data 2025-04-23 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the ‪@WeAreElektron‬ Digitone, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and norns shield—electronica where a laid-back beat weaves together glitchy, pitch-shifted sounds.

Digitone: Controlled via MIDI from the DAW; its parameters are tweaked in real time and processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II.

Norns Shield: Using barcode to play sampled piano tones, whose output is reshaped with modulation, reverb, and filtering in ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

OP-1 field: A lead synth is performed while adding modulation with the CWO effect and using pitch-bend and octave switches."

Teenage Engineering K.O. II KNOCK OUT - How about a FMT and start from scratch?

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The Teenage Engineering is an affordable sampler with 64 MB of memory. In this video I'd like to focus on sampling found sounds, noise boxes and small modular setups. I'll start by formatting the internal memory (FMT) which is a great way to really get to know the KO II without going through all features first. This is not a tutorial. If you want to learn how it works, please visit ‪@SONWU‬ and check out his series which also includes the firmware update.

It's a great machine to stay away from the DAW but also a good 'brain' for sequencing external gear with MIDI, and for turning modular mono sounds into pads and textures. Another cool trick is to sample a chord under each pad, so you can play all kinds of complicated chord progressions with one finger."

GAME BOY, OP-1 field, MOOD MK II | Pull 2025-04-22 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with a Nintendo Game Boy (with LSDj) and OP‑1 field—electronica built from a Game Boy melody, soft‑synth harmonies, and a rhythm driven into delay feedback.

Game Boy: Sequenced in LSDj and processed through the MOOD MK II.

OP‑1 field: Plays the rhythm, which is fed back using the CWO effect.

Harmony: Generated with ‪@SpectrasonicsVIDEO‬ Omnisphere running in ‪@Ableton‬ Live; the track is sent out through an audio interface, processed with ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, and re‑recorded."

Teenage Engineering OP-XY Live Performance Test

"Trial run of a potential live set using just the OP-XY. Still feeling out the idea, just wanted to see if it was even possible in a way I might find compelling enough to use on stage."

Ambient Music w/ MICROCOSM, MOOD MK II, EP-133 K.O.II | Whose Dream 2024-04-20 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the ‪@teenageengineering‬ EP‑133 K.O.II, YAMAHA CP‑88, and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet‑10—a minimal ambient track where piano, synth, and an ever‑shifting rhythm intertwine.

Prophet‑10: Plays the harmonic bed.

CP‑88: Performs a simple piano phrase. Its output is routed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II and‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM, adding reverb while fading micro‑loops in and out.

EP‑133 K.O.II: The rhythm is processed by LOSSY, whose filter and packet‑loss effects keep the timbre in constant flux."

Ambient w/ Nord Lead, OP-1 field | As long as 2025-04-19 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP‑1 field—ambient music where simple drones dissolve into radio noise.

Nord Lead: I play a slow‑attack pad, routing the output through ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS for reverb and delay.

OP‑1 field: Connected to ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY and GENERATION LOSS MK II while performing. Midway, I feed in a radio signal, shaping the noise in LOSSY.

The bell sounds were recorded with a RØDE NT1-A."

Erica Synths and Moritz Klein Introduce EDU DIY FM Drum Eurorack Module

via Erica Synths

"Introducing an FM Drum circuit that fuses analog punch with metallic tones of FM synthesis. This DIY kit offers a wide range of sounds for your patches, from kicks to toms, metallic clangs and more – a great addition of versatile, rhythmic elements to your system!

We – Erica Synths and Moritz Klein – have developed a series of educational DIY kits under the brand name mki x es.EDU with one specific goal in mind: to teach people with little-to-no prior experience how to design analog synthesizer circuits from scratch. What you’ll find in the box is not simply meant to be soldered together and then disappear in your rack. Instead, we want to take you through the circuit design process step by step, explaining every choice we’ve made and how it impacts the finished module.

NB! All kits in these series are simple and come with extensive user manuals which can be downloaded separately, therefore we will not provide customer support in case your DIY build fails to function or similar."

"While trying to fix a broken TR-909, I came up with a DIY analog FM Drum circuit that combines the punchy character of the 909 with the metallic textures of FM synthesis. It comes with four different modes:

• 909-style kick/tom
• Metallic bell/gong
• Ring mod cymbal
• FM cymbal

The FM Drum is the final drum voice in my DIY drum machine series (for now). If you want to build along, here's the bill of materials:"

Minimal Ambient w/ KORG NTS-1, OP-1 field, Tape Loop | Isle in the sky 2025-04-11 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS‑1, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP‑1 field, and tape loops—a minimal ambient work where repeating arpeggios blend with tape‑sourced piano and melodic fragments.

KORG NTS‑1: Controlled via MIDI from the DAW. Its audio output runs through ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY for reverb, filtering, and pitch modulation.

Tape loop: Routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY, which applies filtering and packet‑loss effects while fading the sound in and out.

OP‑1 field: Also driven by MIDI from the DAW. Bit reduction is applied with the built‑in TERMINAL effect, and the signal is further shaped with reverb and micro‑loops via the MOOD MK II.

Strings and additional layers: Overdubbed in the DAW."

Synth Pop w/ MOOG SIRIN, Prophet-10, OP-1 field | Extremely Huge Supermarket 2025-04-09 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ MOOG SIRIN, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field—a synth pop track with an ’80s style built around a simple melody.

The MOOG SIRIN is controlled via MIDI from the DAW, and its output is given reverb using ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

On the OP-1 field, I play the drum part, applying gate reverb and saturation through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MKII.

The Prophet-10 handles the harmonies, processed with blueSky for reverb.

Additional parts such as the arpeggiator come from the YAMAHA MOTIF RACK ES, also controlled via MIDI from the DAW."
