Solton Programmer 24 - Sound exploration and composition of 80' Italo-disco tracks after repair

video upload by Davide Micheli

"In the video, I'm playing the newly repaired electronic instrument.

The Solton Programmer 24 was built by Solton-Ketron Lab around 1985 and it was the first completley and easy programmable music arranger in the history. Due to its structure, for someone is considered the father of Italo-Disco.

This Italian company built at that time this inspiring music electronic machine before any other big company in the word with electronic components available in the market, no dedicated or custom chip as later. In particular, in only 10 minutes I easily composed 3 music tracks in the '80 dance style living the machine inspires me.

The 3 tracks are titled:

1) DRAP; (it could be the base for a rap)
2) Happy track;
3) Past is past;

Hope you enjoy it

Instruo - harmonaig Overview 2026

video upload by Instruō

"It's been 10 years since the harmonàig was developed. I think it's time for a deep dive into understanding how it can make modular more musical.

The harmonàig has always been one of the most musically powerful and compositionally focused modules in the Instruō range. It is a performance quantiser capable of transforming a simple CV sequence into rich, four-voice harmonic movement.

This new video offers a refined overview of the module's features and functionality, before diving into its implementation of musical harmony.

The second half introduces some music theory fundamentals, but more importantly demonstrates just how much can be achieved without needing to understand any of it (although it is fun!).

The harmonàig provides a framework for exploring chord progressions, patching harmonic relationships within a Eurorack system, and making complex musical structures feel intuitive and playable.

The harmonàig has remained a core part of the Instruō range for the past 10 years thanks to your continued support.

Partials & Discrepancies 1.0.4 | Foot Control Slot Sweeps + Red MPE Mode

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A no-talking Partials & Discrepancies 1.0.4 demo focused mainly on foot-controlled slot sweeps.

This patch is played on Arturia PolyBrute 12 in MPE mode, with CC4 / foot control used to sweep through the slot states in real time. I am trying to show how the synth can be played more more expressively with pressure controlled swells and with the slot motion under direct foot control rather than just running as a sequence.

It uses the new red Unusable MPE mode, added in version 1.0.4. In this mode, Slide / CC74 opens the filter, while Pressure controls level behavior for more expressive swells. (the PB12 don't have slide, so it is only pressure used in this video). The screen notes explain what is happening as the patch moves.

This update also includes improvements to MPE voice visuals, smoother Resonance and Res Warp, Versioned Save in the preset browser, better editor responsiveness, and a few other fixes. Release notes in the news section of the website.

Partials & Discrepancies | MPE Demo with Full Bundle v2

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A no-talking Partials & Discrepancies sound example video focused on MPE playing and pairings with effects from the Full Bundle v2.

This video uses the new "red Unusable" MPE mode and explores a range of sounds, from dirtier and more broken textures to more cinematic and laid-back ones, plus a few more straight sounds and some small tricks along the way. The screen notes explain what is happening as the patches move.

The MPE playing here is done with three different controllers: ROLI Seaboard Rise 2, Expressive E Osmose, and Arturia PolyBrute. The idea is not just to show the synth on its own, but to show how Partials & Discrepancies behaves when played expressively and paired with effects from the full Unusable Engineering range.

So this is less a walkthrough and more a practical look at what the synth can do with MPE and the full bundle around it.

Subtle Expressions: Squarp Instruments Hapax Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"With recently obtaining the Squarp Instruments Hapax to act as my main standalone sequencer, I've been diving deep into all the functions it offers. This is the first track I've made putting together a number of items such as automation, assign controls, creative MIDI effects (register, arpoly, etc.), BPM elasticity, and adjustable start/stop loop lengths. I've added notes in the video explaining some key points for the track and additional equipment used, but below is a more detailed list of the sound sources:

Korg Arp 2600 M
Novation Peak
Novation Bass Station II
Korg Opsix
Sequential OB-6 Desktop
Elektron Digitakt II
Befaco Oneiroi
Soma Lyra-8, Erica Synths Black 3109 VCF/VCA, Qu-Bit Mojave

Entomo- drone synth reissue

video upload by DecadeBridge

"I recently came across some stock for Entomo-, one of the first synths I created. This is a quick demo of some of the sounds it can create.

I have made these available again on Etsy for a limited time.

https://decadebridge.etsy.com/uk/list..."



"Entomo- is one of the first synths that I released. I recently came across some old stock and decide to reissue these.

Entomo- is a 6 oscillator drone synth that can be powered with a 9V source or a CV signal.

Entomo- creates a wide range of drone and noise sounds.
Activate the oscillators using the patch bay and included jumper wires.
Cross modulate signals to disrupt and dictate the sound. From drones to noise to rhythmic chatter and glitching.

Knob style and colour may vary depending on stock.
A connector for a 9 volt battery is included with Entomo-. Entomo- can also run off a 9V !!CENTRE POSITIVE!! WALL ADAPTOR.

Sine Wave Ambient with Ambient Engine v1.2 & OP-1 field | Archipelago 2026-07-05 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Ambient music created with Ambient Engine ( https://store.atnr.net/ambient-engine... ) and the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field. Sine wave microloops and reverb-soaked synth tones fill the space.

This session uses Ambient Engine v1.2, currently in development. Sine waves are loaded into its four sample players and triggered by MIDI notes from Ableton Live. The resulting sounds pass through Ambient Engine's built-in MicroLoop effect, delay, and plate reverb, forming abstract masses of sound.

On the OP-1 field, a synth pad is performed on the DIGITAL synth with the built-in reverb applied, and the output is further processed with a ‪@strymon‬ blueSky reverb.

4th of July/26 Metasonix & Zerosum Inertia process the National Anthem

video upload by Cfpp0

"Happy Independence Day! It’s the 4th of July in the 250th year of the country that birthed Metasonix and Zerosum Inertia! And this year, the Star Bangled Banner is being whistled.

The audio is split three ways:
—running through the left side of the Zerosum Inertia 5654 into the TVM23 VCA into the Metasonix R-54 MKII into the TVM23 feedback section into the Zerosum Inertia Horripilation.
—running through the Metasonix R-53 into the Zerosum Inertia ZI61, with another copy of the original audio, amplified by the right side of the 5654.
—running through the right side of the 5654 into another R-54 MKII into the Zerosum Inertia Voltage Controlled Annihilation into the Metasonix R-51.

Some reverb was blended on the CXM 1978."
