The Legendary CS-80 Sound… Without the Price | Fabric Vintage CS

video upload by Autodafe

"The Yamaha CS-80 is one of the most legendary synthesizers ever made — a huge, expressive analog instrument that helped define some of the most iconic electronic and cinematic sounds of the late '70s and early '80s.

Unlike some of the other synths in this series, I've never owned a CS-80 — and considering its size, weight and price, that's probably not going to change anytime soon! 😄

AIR Music Tech Fabric Vintage CS is a modern interpretation of this classic performance-focused polysynth, designed to capture its rich, expressive character inside the Fabric environment.

Powered by AIR's Fabric multi-sample synthesis engine, it features two multi-sample oscillator layers plus a percussive layer, with independent filters, envelopes and LFOs, along with extensive modulation, an arpeggiator and a comprehensive effects section.

The sound library focuses on the kind of sounds you'd expect from this legendary instrument: expressive brass, evolving pads, swelling textures, cinematic leads and shimmering bell-like tones.

In this No Talking demo, I'll simply play through a selection of presets so you can hear what Fabric Vintage CS can do without interruptions.

🎧 No talking — just sounds.

Fabric Vintage CS is available for MPC Standalone, MPC Desktop and major DAWs.

Rithmatic: a DX7 Patch Librarian for the KORG volca FM2

via https://madewithbestpractice.com/rithmatic/

"Rithmatic turns the 64-slot Korg volca FM2 into a searchable, offline library of tens of thousands of classic DX7 patches, all credited to the public collections they came from, and pushes any voice straight to the synth, with full one-file backup and restore of the whole box, plus real-time control of its sequencer transport and live motion. And because it carries its own FM engine, Rithmatic is a playable DX7-style synth in its own right: plug in any MIDI keyboard and play those patches with no hardware synth at all. Korg never made a librarian for the FM2, and unlike the desktop options (Dexed, Patch Base) this one runs on the phone already in your bag. Free, local-first, no account.

Music tooling is a big part of what we do, and we also make Emojio Paint Composer, a browser music sequencer that speaks full MIDI."

Yamaha CS30 service and external clock modification

video upload by Jörg Schaaf

"The internal sequencer of the CS30 does not sport an external sync input for the internal sequencer. Furthermore, the CS30 circuitry is designed for 15 Volt gate signals. Eurorack synthesizers are specified with 5 Volt trigger signals. The modification adds an external input at the backside of the synth. When you set the sequencer to manual mode, the external input is active. It does not replace the manual button. Instead it's adding a second sync source. That means, you can still select the starting step of the sequencer line with the manual button.

Are you looking for a synthesizer workshop or do you want to add mods to your vintage synth? Then maybe my synthesizer-service.de website is a good starting point.

J3PO // History

video upload by Julian "J3PO" Pollack

"Julian 'J3PO' Pollack performs an original composition, "History," a live DAW-less performance recorded entirely in one take with no overdubs.

Built around a sequencer, hardware synthesizers, and an acoustic (felt) piano, "History" explores the space between composition and improvisation. Every musical decision unfolds in real time, allowing the performance to evolve naturally from a simple repeating pattern into something entirely its own.

Gear used:
• Arturia KeyStep Pro (sequencing)
• Roland TR-8S
• Oberheim Two Voice Pro
• Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave 8M
• Yamaha Acoustic Upright Piano

Effects:
• Meris Mercury 7
• Strymon Timeline
• Strymon El Capistan

Minimal Electronica w/ TENORI-ON & MU15 MIDI Electric Piano | Splinkler 2026-08-05 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A minimal electronica piece where the sounds of the TENORI-ON and a simple MIDI electric piano blur and blend together.

On the TENORI-ON, a sequence is looped and sent into the TX-6 with a small amount of reverb. The signal is then processed through the ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM with additional reverb and layered micro loops. The PHRASE LOOPER is also used to repeat phrases, which are then played back in reverse.

TheYAMAHA MU15 provides a simple electric piano sound that is processed through the MOOD MKII to generate micro loops and add delay. The signal is then passed through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, where filtering and reverb transform it into a more abstract texture."

STRYDE AUDIO SWAYED (Yamaha SY77 and TG77 Emulator) - 64 Contemporary Presets - The AFM Sessions

video upload by RM Studios

"It’s always great to hear that a software company has released an emulator of one of our most beloved vintage synthesizers, the Yamaha SY77 (and, of course, the TG77).
It means that the legacy of these incredible instruments will live on, allowing more people to discover and enjoy the unique sound and character of these machines. And, even better, it means our sound banks are becoming increasingly compatible with contemporary studio setups, keeping these classic sounds alive and accessible to a new generation of musicians.

This soundset is made up of 64 custom voices, spanning from classic keyboards sounds, synths (both vintage and contemporary), useful combinations and even a small number of templates aimed at speeding up your own programming work.

It's available in two separate versions, one for the SY99 and one for the SY&TG77, with different Effects and AWM/RCM programming. Swayed reads the SY&TG77 format.

There's a handful of patches sounding a little different, so those are demoed separately in the video.

The soundset can be purchased through the following link:

Testing the “final” arrangement of this little Eurorack Modular ;-)

video upload by John L Rice

"Vermona meloDICER being clocked and 'diced' (randomized) by an Erica Synths TRIGG while I play with the melody range. The voice is a Happy Nerding HM VCO pulse wave out into an Erica Synths MODulator module (EG and VCA). The VCO’s pulse width is being modulated by a 2hp Seq sequencer module that is also stepped by the TRIGG module. All in a 4ms Company Pod48x case and reverb from the external Yamaha MG 10 XU mixer.

ako - Basic Microwaving (4 track tape version) - recording w MT-50, MMT-8, CZ-1000, PSS-480, TR505

video upload by ako

"Here's a video of the recording of the B-side for my new single (links to all formats below). It was recorded on a Yamaha MT-50 four track tape recorder with a Casio CZ-1000 (bass, this is honestly the weirdest synth I own and I think this the only track I’ve released with it on bc it’s just so weird), Yamaha PSS-480 (lead, despite masquerading as toy this thing packs some serious heat) Yamaha DX21 (chord layer) and Roland TR505 (drums – this gets some stick from TR purists, but it has some really usable sounds and the sequencer is super nice). The track was sequenced with the frankly legendary Alesis MMT-8 (the only hardware MIDI sequencer I’ve ever enjoyed using). Synchronisation between tape and MIDI was achieved using a Yamaha YMC10 MIDI clock to tape-synch converter. Dub style delays used on the lead came from a RocLab DD3000 (pretty obscure unit, sounds nice if you tweak it just right); Reverb came from a Behringer DR600 (solid reverb pedal, even more solid price at ~£25) and chorus for the bass via a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus - my favourite chorus, to me it just sounds how chorus should sound (this one is a vintage ‘made in Japan’ model, so fully analogue compared to later digital CH-1 models, and just sounds super warm). It was mixed on MT-50 but also with a Peavey Unity Series 2000-16 (for submixes and sends etc.), this mixer has a flavour all of it’s own, certainly not high fidelity, but kinda gritty and warm… The track is out now for stream and download (links below), hope you folks dig the track 🙂"

SEQtrak Bass Station Techno-funk!!

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"So I got my own Bass Station 2 now, and I'm enjoying it very much in combination with the Yamaha SEQtrak. I'm running the audio from the Bass Station into the SEQtrak input, so the Yamaha master effects (high pass filter and repeater in my case) can act on the Bass Station and really make everything sound cohesive. I'm 'borrowing' the SEQtrak sampler track (MIDI channel 11) for sequencing the Bass Station MIDI, which leaves my hands free to twist knobs and have some fun. Here's some techno-funk for your listening pleasure... :D Enjoy!"
