CREATURE - Prophet 10 (Brutal Dark Ambient synth music)

video upload by Kevin Rix

"One take performance on a Prophet 10. Pedals used include Chase Bliss Onward, Soma Cosmos, and Noise Engineering Batverb. Also used a Dark Star sequencer for the middle sections.

This world we live in is becoming increasingly more complicated and is about to see a huge shift with the arrival of AI. I want this channel to showcase raw performances and celebrate the human aspect of art and music.

This is an anti-AI channel. Everything is composed and performed by me with no editing. Just raw performances created in the moment."

BUCHLA 36 (Brutal dark IDM modular synth performance)

video upload by Kevin Rix

"Delve into the dark weirdness of the Buchla 200e. Easily the most interesting instrument I own. It challenges the user to explore new ways to express music and sound. The drums are created by self resonating the 291e triple filter module. Over the summer I explored more complex patching. All the random stereo ripping sounds are from a cross modded 258 classic into the bottom section of the 296 classic. The first batch created a fm like noise when opening the wide knob. Buchla USA recalled the first batch for a cleaner circuit, but I decided to keep it:) I'll be releasing many of these explorations over the next few months.

I'm planning to upload on a regular basis. This world we live in is becoming increasingly more complicated and is about to see a huge shift with the arrival of AI. I want this channel to showcase raw performances and celebrate the human aspect of art and music.

This is an anti-AI channel. Everything is composed and performed by me with no editing. Just raw performances created in the moment. My musical interests take my into strange and unpredictable areas. At the core, I'm a composer of epic cinematic music. Fortunately, it's what I do for work. The music on this channel represents the other curiosities I have with music and sound. AI just spits out sound a likes and has no real soul. I'm not trying to appeal to those who prefer AI playlists. In my opinion, those people are not true fans of music and art. AI isn't affected by culture, community and what's happening in the world, so it can never make a true artistic statement. "

Novation Summit,Bitwig Studio ( Live Minimalist Ambient Performance)

video upload by Paweł Spychała

"Everything you hear was performed and recorded live. For this session, I utilized the Summit's powerful multitimbral capabilities, crafting a complex multipatch soundscape entirely within the synth—no external effects, pedals, or VST plugins were used. Bitwig Studio was used for routing and capturing the live performance."

"Всем привет!
Решил начать серию роликов в которых я показываю как накручивать наикрутейший звук на синтезаторах, в данном ролике это D16 Phoscyon 2 на котором я создал новый банк ACID & Trance звуков.
Те кто помнит треки Kai Tracid - и его тему с ACID & Trance поймут. И кстати не будет секретом если я скажу что я прямо с видео Кая стянул пару его мелодий и немного переделал так чтоб не нарушались права)
Но добавлю - я ему(Kai Tracid) бесплатно отправил порядка 300 ACID секвенция в свое время за его комментарий к себе на сайт и знаете что? Он отморозился, как-то делает большинство западных известных диджей и делали всегда. Я не обиделся а просто для себя сделал выводы как он человек, которого я еще малым уважал.
В общем если по теме - я в ролике сделал два звука с секвенциями и вы можете использовать это в своем музыка-производстве, чтоб сделать крутую ACID штуку.
В любом случае спасибо что посмотрели, любым адекватным отзывам конечно же буду рад и пишите понравился ли вам формат.

А если кому-то приглянулись звуки, их можно купить у меня на сайте - https://natlifesounds.com/product/aci..."

Phil Hartnoll of Long Range shows us his synths, including his TB-303 that he has had since forever.

Phil Hartnoll (Orbital) studio tour.

"I had uploaded this years ago, and as someone said at the time 'It looks like it was shot on a potato' which was true :) I used Adobe Dialogue enhance to clean up the sound, and a free online video enhance for the picture all of which brought it out nicely. The bit about the TB-303 at 7:05 is my favourite part :) Can't believe it's been almost 20 years!

Original blurb
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Future Music Magazine, June 2007
Exclusive video of the gear in the Long Range studio

Phil runs through his synth collection detailing his best (and worst!), not forgetting the classic TB-303 on which some techno classics were written, complete with stickers for the tunes! We put him on the spot and ask which three pieces of gear he'd take to a desert island and then Nick runs through the band's bank of outboard gear. Fast!

Matti from NYU and Talking Synths

video upload by The MIDI Association

"MIDItoSpeech is a set of software and tools to 'speak' the affordances on the synthesizers using a computer. Our model relies on MIDI transmission of parameters as affordances are touched on the synth. This is being designed as both a Max patch / Max4Live device as well as a website using the Web MIDI API. In both cases, there is a community-driven repository of JSON files (the ‘devices’ folder) for models of synthesizers that describe their NRPN / CC values with labels, enumerators, etc.

Manufacturers can develop these JSON files as part of their production pipeline, and community members / enthusiasts can develop them for legacy synthesizers, open source initiatives, etc. As a second-order benefit, these files can be used for translanguaging as well as access (i.e. you could have distinct JSON files for a synthesizer in English, Mandarin, Spanish, etc.).

Alesis NanoSynth - Rare Prototype Demo

video upload by John L Rice

"I thought I would document this prototype example of an Alesis NanoSynth I bought on eBay long ago, before I sell it. I didn't take the time to verify if the sounds are all the same as a production model or not, but I suspect there may be some differences? One thing not working as far as I can tell is the built in factory demo that all production versions of Alesis Nano synthesizers have. And yeah, that's not me talking, I wanted to learn how to use the AI text to voice feature in DaVinci Resolve. (sorry not sorry! 😁)

"This is a very brief demo of most of what I know how to do with the NanoTracker MIDI recorder. This is just for historical purposes and for when I put it up for sale on Reverb. ;-)"

Alesis NanoBass - Factory Demo

video upload by John L Rice

"I made this quick video for an Alesis NanoBass synth module that I'm going to be selling and decided to make it public just in case anyone is interested. I think all of the Alesis Nano synths are fantastic and very underrated and underestimated. I own a NanoPiano, NanoSynth, and two NanoBass units (that's why I am selling this one)"

Tubbutec MC-2oh2 playing MC-202 voice and EMS Synthi

video upload by analogia pl

"Tubbutec upgraded MC-2oh2 is master of ceremony here. It plays the 202 voice on channel one and Synthi on channel 2 (via Portabellabz CV/gate card). I must say that - quite unexpectedly - this small powerhouse by @tubbutec has turned into a hub of my present live rig. It’s that versatile and fun to play."

GEMINI 2412 Dual SEM VCF Sequencer Tweaking #eurorack

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Some 70's-inspired tweaking with the GEMINI 2412, SAMPLE & Hold, and a Sequencer.
Video & Performance by ‪@DreamsOfWires‬
The Gemini is based on the classic Oberheim SEM filter, but with expansive flexibility, including a unifying CV and Audio mixer section between the two multi-mode VCFs. There is a shared output for both filters in 'Dual' mode as used here, but also separate shared outputs for each VCF, through which filter mode can be selected, and individual outputs for LP, BP and HP filters on each.
Also, a jumper on the back alters the behaviour of both filters individually - standard SEM resonance range, or extended high resonance setting that'll allow the filter to self-oscillate. 1V/Oct inputs are present for both filters, so each can even be used as a simple sine wave oscillator over a few octaves.

AJH Synth Eurorack modules used:
Vintage Transistor Core VCO
Gemini 2412 Dual State Variable Filters
Discrete Cascaded VCA
Dual LFO + VCA
SAMPLE HOLD + SLEW
RING SM (Moog CP3 mixer/sub bass generator/ring modulator)
DH-ADSR (looping envelope generator)
