Minimal Ambient with Piano, Tape Loop, and Synth Pads | Memorial Delay 2026-05-27 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A minimal ambient piece where piano sounds, tape loops, and synth pads overlap.

This work is created with ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CS01, and tape loops.

On the OP-1 field, bit reduction is applied with the TERMINAL effect to a piano loop performed on the Sampler. Additional piano phrases are played by hand and layered into the piece.

The tape loop uses a one-minute endless tape. A pre-recorded piano performance is played back while pitch shifting and micro loops are layered through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII.

On the CS01, sounds with long attack and release settings are performed. Filtering and reverb through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY create a synth pad-like texture."

There's an aesthetic trend in modern effects, especially in ambience effects like reverb and delay, which points towards embracing and accentuating digital imperfection.

It turns out that the glitching, aliasing, distortion and noise that engineers traditionally worked so hard to dial out of gear actually sounds pretty amazing when used creatively and intentionally.

Many FX companies have really embraced this way of working, adding controls to their effects which allow musicians to digitally degrade the sound in wonderful ways - intentionally circuit bending their instruments by design.

Another way, though, to achieve these sounds might be to buy an old, cheap reverb from ebay and circuit bend it. This electronic abuse, forces the unit into leaning into these artifacts whether it wants to or not! The results may be more chaotic, but they might also be even more fun and potentially more affordable.

Downtempo Ambient Jam with SEQTRAK & Octatrack

video upload by Hideo Nakasako

"A slow morning session built around the SEQTRAK and the textured sound of Beads.

Sliced breakbeats from the Octatrack, minimal rhythms from the Machinedrum, and warm layers from the Analog Four gradually came together into a gently moving downtempo ambient piece.

Thanks for listening."

Yamaha CS-5 - dawless jam

video upload by Telantas Changxo

"I got the most wonderful birthday present: a Yamaha CS-5 analogue synthesizer (1979-1982). This video shows my first few minutes with it in a completely unrehearsed, improvised jam accompanied only by a fixed drone provided by a Behringer Crave (during the first minute I also had a repeating sequence played by another Crave).

Martin Gore's first synthesizer was a CS-5. Aphex Twin also used one. But what do I care? I only want to know how it sounds and how it handles. And my first impression is this: the synth is amazing! It has an extremely beautiful, musical tone, and the panel couldn't be more intuitive or immediate. The synth-action keybaord is superb. It is a simple machine: a single-oscillator, monophonic synthesizer with only one envelope generator. However, the controls available are very flexible and there are a few really neat and unique features (I will show some of those in subsequent videos).

The similarity of the white-over-black design in the Yamaha CS-5, CS-10, CS-15 and CS-30 to the Korg MS-10 and MS-20 is not coincidental. These were head-on competitors in production during 1977-1982. In fact, the first synths to sport it were Yamaha's: the CS-10 and CS-30, both released during 1977 (one year before the MS-10 and MS_20). This sober look was a break form the wooden cheeks and coloured buttons of earlier Japanese and American synthesizers (including Yamaha's own CS-80, in production during the same period).

In terms of playability and sonic character, I think it is fair to say that the Yamaha CS-5/10/15/30 occupy a space somewhere between a Minimoog, which sounds great in almost any setting, and an MS-20, which enourages experimentation. However, my interactions with my CS-5 so far indicate that this is a simplification. It has its own character warm, precise, musical. I am really loving it so far.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:

Telantas Changxo is the musical side project of quantum physicist Jorge Quintanilla. It features DAWless music made using hardware synthesizers, ranging widely from experimental drone pieces to original synth-pop songs."

"An electronica piece created with Game Boy Advance + FMS and Tenori-on.

On the Game Boy Advance, sequences are played using FMS. During the performance, the Track Rate is adjusted to create variations in rhythm and melody.
