Ambient Jazz with Delayed Synths and Electric Piano | Detection 2026-01-09 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"It is an ambient jazz composition where delay-processed synthesizer tones are layered with electric piano textures.

On the Music Easel, delay and micro-loop textures are generated using the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII. Additional tape-style character is added with LOST+FOUND using the GEN LITE effect, along with a subtle layer of reverb.

The CP-88 performs an electric piano tone, processed with its built-in delay and deep reverb applied via the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

On the OP-1 field, synth pads are played with the internal reverb set to a deeper level, blending softly into the overall soundscape."

Ptolemy cover on RX5, TX802, SH-01A

video upload by Collector Current

"In this video I show you my cover of Aphex Twin's "Ptolemy" from the Selected Ambient Works 85-92 album.

I made the drums with the Yamaha RX5, using an RX5USB board on which I loaded Roland R-8M samples. The bass is coming from a Roland SH-01A. The other two melody parts are played on a Yamaha TX802. The three melody parts are sequenced with a Roland MSQ-700.

During the performance I keep touching the computer; that is to stop the screensaver from turning on. The computer screen shows my notes of the structure of the song.

Triple-Meter Synth Leads and Piano Layers | New Moon 2026-01-07 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CBX-K1XG, and CP-88. It is a composition where a waltz-like triple-meter beat supports layered synth leads and piano performance.

The Prophet-10 is processed through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, applying reverb and filtering.
Its distorted synth lead sound is played in unison with the CBX-K1XG.

On the CBX-K1XG, a choir timbre is used, further enhanced with additional synth-lead character via ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND.

The CP-88 is used to perform the piano parts.
Other elements, including harmonies and rhythmic components, are constructed within the DAW."

Gentle Synth Layers and Delayed Piano | Weaver’s Shadow 2026-01-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88, and CBX-K1XG.
It is a composition where gentle synthesizer tones are layered with delay-soaked piano sounds.

On the Prophet-10, slow-attack synth pads are performed and processed with reverb and filtering using the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

The CP-88 is used to play piano with its built-in delay and reverb.

On the CBX-K1XG, string sounds are performed and processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, adding reverb and delay.

The Moog One plays soft, low-attack synth pads with a generous amount of reverb applied via its master effects.

The Nord Lead provides additional synth pad layers, processed with reverb using the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

As the layered synthesizer sounds gradually overlap and fade away, the piano weaves through the space, filling the gaps between them."

First try at making music for FM synthesis

video upload by MIDI IN

"I'm very happy that Ed Brindley has made this FM sound module for the RC2014 and similar computers. This is the technology used in early PC soundcards and synthesisers like the DX1000. This is my first go at tracking music for this sound card. I used Furnace Tracker, exported to .vgm and ran Ed's music player to play it. You're hearing the capture from the new sound card.

Matt Barber - 80's in 80 seconds

video upload by Matt Barber - Sounds from The Sandbox

"Just thought I would try a little something fun...the title says it all. 0 to 80's in 80 seconds. Enjoy. Certified AI free and no traces of softsynths!

Drums - Oberheim DX Stretch, Korg DDD-1 - just a snare on 2 and 4 with mostly just the reverb return from a Roland SDE-330 non-lin setting, Roland TR8S - some perc and a ghost snare from the 707 kit.

Oberheim OB-8

Korg DW-8000

Bass - Roland D-50 patch also triggering a Roland JX8P and Korg Polysix to fatten and double it

Ensoniq ESQ - A nice PPG Wave patch from a sound cartridge I have for it.

Sequential Rev 2 also triggering a bell patch on the Yamaha TG33

Yamaha DX7iiD - nice dual patch one a rhodes type and the other a tine from the many banks on the Hypersynth card to finish it off and play out on."

Matt Barber - 80's in 80 seconds - Episode 2

video upload by Matt Barber - Sounds from The Sandbox

"80's in 80 Seconds Episode 2 has landed! The first one was a bit fun so let's keep the theme going. This one starts off with a nice "groove" and builds with some synths spanning the decade. If you listen past the 80 seconds the Arp Odyssey briefly shows off its duo-phonic capabilities with a few 2 note chords that almost have a vocoder like effect with the phaser on it just after the 2 minute mark.
The following instruments were used and recorded as a 2 track with no editing or overdubs with each part being played into a pair of Arturia Keystep Pro sequencers. As always, AI free and made with real ingredients. Thanks for watching!

Oberheim DX Stretch - main drums
Korg DDD-1 - perc
Roland TR8-S - additional high hats, rim shot, crash
Berhinger - Model D - Bass
Roland Jupiter 4 - Arp
Korg PolySix - Synth Brass Pad 1
Roland Jupiter 6 - Synth layer 2
Yamaha DX7II - Bell 1
Roland D-50 - Bell 2
Arp Solina - Strings
Arp Odyssey Mkii 2810 - Lead"

Matt Barber - 80's in 80 seconds - Episode 3

video upload by Matt Barber - Sounds from The Sandbox

"80's in 80 seconds episode 3 is here to start of the New Year! I thought something "new" should be in 'order' after the busy holiday period. Several familiar sounds in this one that can most likely been dialed in on many synths of the era but this one builds with the hardware listed below. All natural...Certified AI and VST free. Thanks for listening!

Drums -
Korg DDD-1 to start with the first hi-hat
Oberhiem DX Stretch - Main kick, beat kick, snare, additional hi-hat, clap, and rim shot
Roland TR-8S - a little kick for attack, snare ghost notes, and high hat movement

Pad 1 - Oberheim OB-8

BASS - Berhinger Pro 1 and Poly D played with the arpeggio on on the Keystep Pro

Pad 2 - Roland D50 layered with Roland JX-8P and Korg DW8000

Bell - DX 7 ....of course it is!

ARP Chords - Roland Jupiter 4."

Where Digital Meets Vintage Soul

video upload by Jose's Vintage Keys

"This demo explores the overlap between modern digital synthesis and classic instruments. The ‪@GrooveSynthesis‬ 3rd Wave 8M sits at the center, supported by the warmth of the OB-X and the expressive touch of the CP70 electric grand piano. Using presets by ‪@devinbelangermusic‬ and ‪@MattJohnsonskeyspace‬

I am not yet good enough to program it myself - their sounds are a wonderful start to get to know the instrument and its vast sonic possibilities. #3rdwave"
