1/26/26 (2 clips) Pasco Scientific 9301 + Roland SBX-80 + Yamaha EM-100

video upload by Cfpp0

"A pair of Pasco Scientific dual function generators are clocked by the Roland SBX-80. Spring reverb and additional drive from the Yamaha EM-100 mixer."

Pro-One + SH-101 + Leploop + Edge = Jamuary Jamalog (take 2)

video upload by Infin-D

"Vintage synths, meet contemporary synths. The Leploop clocks everything, with clock division by the Mofenseef Pocket Clock-it. There's a resonant arpeggio on the SH-101, but the real star here is the Sequential Circuits Pro-One and its gnarly filter (also getting pitch CV from the Leploop). It's gets pretty noisy, but I like it noisy. Delay is added by the Korg NTS-1 MK II, mixed on the Yamaha KM802.

Recorded live on the Zoom L6, audio normalized in Audacity.

Vangelis 'Rachel's song' Sunday morning improv on CP70, Rhodes, Moog Muse

video upload by Jose's Vintage Keys

"I love synths, but I love my Rhodes en CP70 even more. Together they shine. Especially using 2 Lexicon reverbs in serie (PCM70 short reverb - Model 200 long reverb) and my 2 new delays: Meraki and Empress."

Oberheim OB-X in there as well.

GreyScale-Ceramo | GreyScale - Phase1

video upload by plantssystem

"For this release, the unpredictable chaotic noise generated by Hikari Instruments Duos has been thoroughly sampled and deconstructed using the glitch processor VST Utsbox.
The raw, untamed electrical signals from the Duos are precisely fragmented by the Utsbox, transforming them into hard rhythms and textures, recording the process. Enjoy a thrilling sonic experience where the randomness of analog collide with the sharpness of glitch audio."

Ambient Electronica of Fading Synths and Sapporo soundscape | Fading Memories 2026-01-22 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP88, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and tape loops. Set against field recordings captured in snowy streets of Sapporo, electric piano and synthesizer sounds emerge and fade away, forming an ambient electronica composition.

The Prophet-10 is used to play synth pads, processed with reverb and delay via ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND.

Two tape loops are used. One contains a one-minute recording of an electric piano performance, while the other plays field recordings from the streets of Sapporo. The electric piano tape is played back on a ‪@WeAreRewind1‬ cassette player and processed with delay using ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE. The field recording tape is played on a Rock & Play cassette player, with the pitch lowered and further processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, where reverb and layered micro-loops deepen the pitch and texture.

The Moog One and Nord Lead are occasionally played to add synth pads. The Nord Lead is processed with reverb via ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

The CP88 plays a Rhodes sound, layering simple phrases with its built-in reverb and delay."

GreyScale-DeadZone #greyscale #deadzone #duos #cs10

video upload by plantssystem

"This work uses a runaway noise generator from Hikari Instruments / Duos as the main source. This extreme signal was passed through the external input of the legendary 1970s Yamaha CS-10, and then thoroughly deconstructed and reconstructed using filter modulation.

The unpredictable chaos of the Duos and the sharp yet sticky analog filter of the CS-10 resonate with each other, creating a dry, tense acoustic space reminiscent of the 'Dead Zone' suggested by the title.
The critical point of electricity. Listen to the texture."

Figuring out the circuitry of old DIY drum synth

video upload by organfairy

"I play it manually at 3:23 and run it with a step sequencer at 4:17.

This is another un-documented one from the vaults - one that I, for some inexplicable reason, have not made any written information about.
So in this video I go through it and find out how it is made.

The music is 'No Hollywood movie', originally recorded by Lesley Hamilton, that was a hit in Germany in 1978. Same year it was recorded in Danish by Gitte Hænning as 'Hollywood drømme' and in German as 'Von Hollywwod Träumen'. I play it on my Yamaha HE-8 organ with Korg Rhythm 55 drum machine - but I probably didn't do a very good job since YT couldn't recognise it..."

The CS-80 Sounds DEAD Without FX?! | Vangelis RAW

video upload by Andy Whitmore

"Everyone says the Yamaha CS-80 needs huge reverb and delay to sound alive…
But does it really? In this video, you’ll hear the real CS-80 completely DRY – no FX, no EQ, no compression – recreating eight classic Vangelis riffs exactly as they come out of the synth.

Can the legendary 'Synth of the Gods' still sound inspiring with nothing on it? You decide.

This 1990s Rack Synth Was a Monster: Yamaha TG77

video upload by Espen Kraft

"The Yamaha TG77, the module version of the SY77. A powerful combination of FM synthesis and Wave memory. Extremely deep and advanced. The SY77 came out in 1989 with the module the year after. Both surpassed by the SY99 the year after that.

The demo song uses none of the internal TG77 drum sounds. The 'real' electric guitars are not from the TG77 either of course. All the synth sounds and bass are from the TG77. Heavily layered, processed and mixed in the DAW. Some of the effects used on the individual patches later in the video are from external effects.
