BOARDS OF CANADA - Sherbert Heat (COVER -Prophet REV2, Analog Heat+FX, OP-1 field)


video upload by nicola neeco

"Here’s my interpretation of Sherbert Head by Boards of Canada, from The Campfire Headphase album.
It’s a relatively underrated piece, but still one of the most beautiful short tracks they’ve ever made.

I used the Prophet Rev2, Elektron Analog Heat +FX, and Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field.
The Analog Heat was key in shaping the noise, saturation, and lo-fi texture that I wanted to bring into this version."

How Recorded Sound Became an Instrument | Voltage Labs


video upload by Voltage Labs

"Sampling changed the way music could be made.

What began with tape loops and musique concrète evolved through machines like the Fairlight CMI, SP-1200, Akai S950, MPC and ASR-10: each introducing new limitations, new workflows and, eventually, entirely new musical languages.

From hip-hop and jungle to French house, microhouse and experimental electronics, producers learned to treat recorded sound not as something fixed, but as raw material.

This video traces how the sampler became an instrument and how chopping, pitching, looping, resampling and microsampling reshaped electronic music."

The power of Formant-Shifting


video upload by WPalmWT

"The term "Formant" originates from speech analysis.
Formants are the peak resonant frequencies of the vocal tract.
However, the formant-shifting technique used here also produces interesting effects with other sounds, as I demonstrate in this video."

Dawless Jam: Groovesizer Mynah x M-Vave FM-1


video upload by MoShang

"Here's a jam I recorded with the M-Vave FM-1 being driven by a Groovesizer Mynah sampler. The Mynah is playing drums and loops, and MIDI from the Mynah is triggering the arpeggios on the FM-1. I did this in one take, playing sustained lines over the arpeggios on the FM-1. I used the stock patches (020 SYN PAD 5 and 019 SYN LEAN 5). I couldn't find a good way to automate the patch changes, so I picked these adjacent patches and switched by hand."

Electronica w/ Electric Kalimba & OP-1 field Looping Piano | Gentle Rain 2026-08-30 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece where electric kalimba and looping piano sounds overlap.

On the LOTTIE CANTO Color Palette electric kalimba, the built-in delay is used while the MOOD MKII adds further delay and layers micro loops over the sound.

On the OP-1 field, a 16-bar piano performance is recorded and played back in reverse during the intro and outro. The built-in TERMINAL effect applies bit reduction, followed by reverb through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

On ‪@SONICWARE‬ AmbientØ, synth pads are performed. The output is processed through LOST+FOUND with reverb and delay."

2:03 Why it's open source

Patternflow began with Nam June Paik's Participation TV (1963), the first work where the audience could touch the image. I wanted to go one step further — so I built an instrument where you make the image yourself.
