Dawless Techno with Jaw Harp & PVC Pipes | Circuit Tracks + Rhythm

video upload by Underground Modulation

"🔥 Experimental Dawless Techno Groovebox Jam | Custom Samples (Jaw Harp & PVC Pipes)

In this video I perform an experimental techno groovebox jam using unique custom samples like jaw harp and PVC pipe sounds, blended into a driving electronic groove.

This track is created using a fully dawless setup with two powerful grooveboxes:
🎛 Novation Circuit Tracks
🥁 Novation Circuit Rhythm

Both grooveboxes handle rhythmic and melodic elements, working together to create a layered and evolving experimental techno sound. The use of jaw harp and PVC pipe samples adds an organic, unusual texture that pushes this jam beyond traditional techno.

Everything is performed live in a DAWLESS workflow, with all sequencing done directly on the Circuit Tracks and Circuit Rhythm.
Final mastering was completed in Ableton Live to enhance clarity, punch, and overall balance.

Bob Moog Foundation Archives Donation: Rare Moog Liberation Formerly Owned by Gary Wright

via The Bob Moog Foundation

Synth wizard Casey Young (Gary Wright, Yes, Madonna, TOTO, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner) recently donated a vintage, white Moog Liberation keytar synthesizer to the Bob Moog Foundation Archives. This rare instrument was used by Gary Wright in live and recorded performances, including the music video for the 1981 song "Heartbeat." Wright, who composed the 1976 hit song "Dream Weaver," personally gifted the synth to Young.

“Getting to work with Gary Wright was one of the best gigs I ever had.
He did so much to jump-start my musical journey.”
--Casey Young

We plan to fully restore the Liberation, which has been in storage for decades, to its former glory so that we can share this instrument at the Moogseum one day. None of our efforts are possible without the support of our donors. Please consider supporting the Foundation today so that we can restore and preserve this and many more historical vintage electronic instruments!

“We are honored by this very special donation to the Bob Moog Foundation Archives. Gary Wright’s Liberation is a part of synthesizer history. We are deeply grateful to Casey Young for this important donation, and we look forward to sharing this historical gem once it has been restored.” --Michelle Moog-Koussa

For an insider's insight on the design of the Moog Liberation, check out our one-on-one interview with former Moog Music designer Rock Wehrmann, available to read on moogfoundation.org.

Exploration Situation Two

"A more melodic exploration, still digging into those delays and reverbs, which is great to have onboard now with the dual Lexi-algos fitted to the 289 Defect Processor (thanks Maxlord)

I really love the way the 277 and 288 delays go all lo-fi and glitchy when CV'd"

Redshift 6 - Firmware 1.6 Demo - Sequencer and Macros

video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"Redshift 6 Firmware 1.6 in action — no talking, just pure playing.

Firmware Update 1.6 introduces a new polyphonic sequencer engine and macros.

The update also includes new factory presets designed to showcase the Poly Seq engine and macros. Each multitimbral part in Redshift 6 supports its own sequencer, allowing up to six independent sequencers to run in parallel.

The Poly Seq engine handles per-part sequencing, making it easy to build polyphonic sequences across multiple parts.

Macros provide access to eight assignable controls. Each Macro can control multiple parameters simultaneously, including parameters across different parts. This enables complex changes with a single knob and makes Macros especially useful in live performance.

All synth sounds and FX are from Redshift 6 — no external effects were used."

Additional details:

"REDSHIFT 6 FIRMWARE VERSION 1.6

ADDED
New sequencer engine: SEQ: POLY
Macros

IMPROVEMENTS
Drive is now a modulation destination
8 new factory presets

FIXED
Fixed all known bugs

Supercritical’s Redshift 6
Redshift 6 is a true Sonic powerhouse. With 16 analog oscillators per voice and a 4-pole analog multimode filter featuring drive and character controls, it effortlessly delivers everything from super saw stabs to lush pads and from unison basses to vintage poly synth sounds. The Redshift 6’s 4 envelopes and 4 LFOs, combined with complex yet easy-to-assign modulation possibilities and the 32-slot mod matrix, offer endless possibilities for sound design.

Each of the Redshift 6’s six voices features a Demon Core Oscillator, capable of generating up to 16 simultaneous analog oscillators per voice. These oscillators can be assigned in various ways, from lush polyphonic textures to a massive 96-oscillator unison.

Korg Wavestate - "Digital Legends"

video upload by LFOstore

"Compatible with Korg Wavestate, Wavestate mkII, Wavestate SE, Wavestate Module, and Wavestate Native.

BUY: https://kav-sound-explorer.sellfy.sto...

Some synthesizers don't just make sounds - they define eras. The Korg M1, 01W, M3R, T1, Z1, and Trinity shaped the sound of an entire decade, and their character is unmistakable: that particular blend of digital clarity, organic warmth, and subtle imperfection that no modern preset can quite replicate.

Digital Legends brings those machines into your Wavestate. Built from 88 original multisamples captured directly from these instruments, the pack uses the Wavestate's wave sequencing engine to push classic tones into new territory - layered, evolving, and alive in ways the originals never could be.

The result is a collection that works equally well for deep nostalgia and forward-thinking production. Lush evolving pads, shimmering leads, expressive synth keys, full-bodied basses, and classic poly textures - all rooted in vintage Korg DNA, all ready for modern use.

What's Inside:

64 Performances
122 Programs
88 Multisamples sourced from Korg M1, 01W, M3R, T1, Z1, and Trinity
Detailed loading instructions included

Requirements:

Korg Wavestate, Wavestate mkII, Wavestate SE, Wavestate Module, or Wavestate Native.

"I'd never given this late 90s digital synth a moment's thought until playing this one. It's actually a great source of very playable and in some cases excellent sounds. This example is in very good condition indeed, with its original UK external PSU. It also has its original user manual, which has got damp at some stage and is in far worse condition. Packing 12GBP."
