Synth post-rock and ambient | Three songs with delay and reverb

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Three different songs focusing on the inspiration of delay and reverb.

MAS Distribution sent over the GFI Solis Ventus, a delay and reverb pedal, for me to try for free. Take that for what you will.

I've already used the Solis Ventus in other video here, so there was no particular need to create a video focused on it. However, I usually explore new gear by just placing it on the table and seeing what comes out. I thought maybe nothing would come of it, or maybe I'd make a single song. In the end, I kept writing more and more with it, all in different styles and genres. The reverbs in the Solis Ventus are fine, but there's some real weirdness and magic in the delays, and they kept delighting and surprising me. In the end, I decided to share three songs with you from these explorations, although there's some more on my Patreon.

00:00 - Post-rock with synths instead of guitar
03:52 - Pure ambient with Pluto
06:17 - Rock starting with L1

Ultimately, what I hope comes through is that effects aren't something simply to colour or smooth over a sound; effects can be the very thing that inspires the songwriting process. That's what happened in all of these instances, and more.

Gear used:
Arturia Astrolab 37 (keys)
GFI Solis Ventus (delay and reverb)
Squier Bass VI (bass-guitar hybrid)
Line 6 Pod Express Bass (for bass amp sim)
Moog Subsequent 37 (mono synth melody)
Novation AFX Station (mono synth lead)
Modern Sounds Pluto (mini euro synth sandbox)
Donner L1 (mono synth random arp)
Godin Session Custom '59 (guitar)
Strymon Iridium (for guitar amp sim)
Union Tone & Transistor Lab (compressor for guitar)
Electro-Voice RE-20 (vocal mic)
Probably more I'm forgetting

Multi-tracked, mixed in the box (except the Pluto song, which was live to stereo out, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master).

Ambient with Randomized Samples and Synth Pads | Sinking Stone 2026-04-28 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An ambient piece created with Ambient Engine ( https://store.atnr.net/ambient-engine... ) and the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10.

Ambient Engine loads samples of ice sounds and human voices and plays them while randomly changing the playback position. The MicroLoop effect is also applied.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed with reverb through the Strymon blueSky.

On the ‪@buchlausa‬ Music Easel, the bass is played using a modulated sound processed with reverb and filtering through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY."

Electronica with OP-1 field and OP-1 Loops | Ealry Arrival of Summer 2026-04-20 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece created with ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field and OP-1.

On the OP-1 field, a 32 bar loop is performed and recorded in advance. On top of this, an electric piano phrase from the SAMPLER is recorded using the ENDLESS sequencer. The OP-1 field is connected to ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY with filtering and reverb applied. The pitch is occasionally modulated using the pitch knob.

On the OP-1, a drum sequence from DBOX runs with the ENDLESS sequencer. The built in CWO effect is adjusted using the feedback control. The clock on ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII is also manipulated to introduce pitch variation and further changes in tone."

Tokyo Field Recording and Piano Minimal Ambient | Message from the sky 2026-04-13 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A minimal ambient piece where field recordings from Tokyo with birdsong blend with piano tones.

Created with ‪@buchlausa‬ Music Easel, ‪@KORG_INC‬ volca fm2, norns shield, and field recordings captured in a green area of Tokyo.

On the Music Easel, sustained tones are performed while connected to ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII.

On the volca fm2, a sequence runs while monotron DELAY adds filtering and delay. The signal is further processed through LOSSY with additional filtering and reverb.

On the norns shield, a recorded piano performance is processed with granular synthesis in graintopia and played back. The output is connected to ‪@strymon‬ blueSky with reverb applied."

B:art Instruments & Strymon Starlab // From melody to chaos

video upload by Dexba

"The power of modular is flexibility, but I've never been a fan of having to buy a lot of utilities just to get going! The cost of a little setup skyrockets as soon as you start adding the basics, so I honestly love the fact that getting a b:ond (here in the v2, the new version) just gets you going as soon as you put it in the case.
Two oscillators, 4 VCAs, suboscillators, waveform morphing, FM (through zero!), PM, sync, mixing... everything is just ready to play and enjoy.
The natural companion is the b:righten, a gentle (in the cutoff) and gnarly (in the resonance) filter.
The rest is history and... Starlab :D"

Stereo Filtered Big Boy Verb (Strymon BigSky MX + Vongon Paragraphs II)

video upload by Duskmos

"In this Signal Colors: Layers, I'm pairing up the Strymon BigSky MX and the Vongon Paragraphs II - a massively spacious reverb processed through an atmospheric panning stereo filter. These two heavy hitters are a powerful duo. Hang out with me while I pair them up with the Teenage Engineering OP-XY!"

Game Boy Electronica with OP-1 field and OP-1 | Transmigration 2026-04-10 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece created with Game Boy.

Created with Game Boy, OP-1 field, OP-1, and MOTIF-RACK ES.

On the Game Boy, sequences run in LSDj while delay is added with MOOD MKII. Micro loop textures are layered, and reverb is applied using blueSky.

On the OP-1 field, a recorded 16 bar harmony is looped while the sampler is performed by hand.

On the OP-1, a beat runs in a loop using the ENDLESS sequencer while the built in CWO effect is adjusted. The output is processed through LOSSY with reverb and filtering to create variation.

A distorted bassline is played on the MOTIF-RACK ES and recorded in a DAW."

4 For A Boy

video upload by Circuit 3

"Recorded 'as live'. Bassline is a blend of Roland System 100M + Roland System 500. Lead-ish lines on the Arp2600M moving across Osc 1 through 3. Top line is the Befaco Oneiroi. Drums by the Metamatic-tastic CR78. Effects by Strymon (Bigsky, Nightsky, Timeline, Volante). Sequencing by OXI One."

Lo-Fi Electronica with Circuit, Tape Loop and OP-1 field | Stone Section 2026-03-31 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with Novation Circuit, tape loop, and OP-1 field. It is lo-fi electronica built from simple rhythm and synth.

The tape loop contains a one minute electric piano performance. It is played back with reverb from blueSky.

On the Circuit, rhythm patterns and harmony are looped. Reverb is added with MOOD MKII.

On the OP-1 field, a synth lead is performed. The signal is processed through monotron DELAY with delay and filtering, then through LOSSY with reverb and filtering."

Modern Sounds Pluto - Ambient Soundscapes

video uploads by The Pedalboard Orchestra

"A collection of long ambient tracks based on the Modern Sounds Pluto Semimodular Synthesizer and various effets pedal setups."

Playlist:

1. Modern Sounds Pluto Synthesizer – Ambient Demo & Sound Exploration

These are my first "ten minutes" (okay, the video turned out a few minutes longer 😉) with the Modern Sounds Pluto semimodular synthesizer.
🎧Headphones recommended for the full sonic experience.

In this small setup Pluto is accompanied by three pedals, the Strymon El Capistan v1, the Chase Bliss/Goodhertz Lossy and the Eventide Space in ModEchoVerb algorithm, all in stereo.
Pluto, this tiny little box, is such a fascinating and inspiring instrument. You can get a million and more of sounds out of it.
I love how the filter of Lossy changes the overall mood of the sounds.
