Dust Takes - 64 Presets for Sequential Take 5 - Sound Pack Demo

video upload by Jogging House

"Dust Takes is a collection of 64 handmade ambient presets for the Sequential Take 5 synthesizer: https://jogginghouse.com/products/dus...

As the name implies, the presets lean towards a nostalgic, dreamy, lofi and atmospheric sound, but you can use them in any gerne.

All sounds have a fully mapped mod matrix to generate lots of subtle movement. So when you hold a key down for a while, there usually is something happening over time.

There are expressive controls mapped on each sound. Turning the mod wheel, applying pressure/aftertouch or playing the keys with different velocities will affect the sounds.

Each preset also has two effects dialed in to enhance what makes it special."

video upload by LESINDES

"DRUM LOOP CARE

The WLK-Audio Inductive Filterbank is a stunning SILICON TRANSISTOR based FILTERBANK with 14 fixed Q band pass filters. As you can hear in the demo the sound shaping shaping potential of this filter is enormus. Much potential for DRUM SHAPING. Example here is SONICWARE CYDRUMS."

New York School of Synthesis Merch Back In Stock

A message from the Dean Friedman email list (don't miss the PS below, and don't miss the link to the videos):

"Hey Folks.

I hope your square waves and LFO's are happily modulating and your filter envelopes are sustaining well.

This is just a note to say, I've opened up two 'print-on-demand' shops (US/Canada & The rest of the WORLD) on the Shopify [US/Canada] and Deco [The rest of the WORLD] print-on-demand platforms, which means you can now order your New York School of Synthesis merch in a variety of sizes and colors, including not only NYSS T-Shirts, but NYSS Baseball Caps, NYSS Coffee Cups and NYSS Pouches too!

Wishing you wily and wonderous waveforms!

Dean of the New York School of Synthesis
[a name - not a title!]

PS: I'm hoping to accumulate a collection of pictures of synthesists wearing a New York School of Synthesis T-Shirt, Baseball Cap or holding a NYSS Coffee Mug. Folks that send a photo will receive a signed 'digital' copy of the screen-grab from my NYSS Intro to Synthesis video (see photo near top of email). Please email your photo to: dean@deanfriedman.com Cheers! Dean"

Dirtywave MX (Single Device Demo)

video upload by Dirtywave

"Since the previous video introducing the MX (below), the most asked question has been about if the looper can be used to mix a single device. MX supports up to 24 seconds of stereo looping, so hopefully this answers it.

For this demonstration, we're using only a GBA running @ForsFM FMS."

Synth Camp (AKA Knobcon 14) 2026!

video upload by Musical Miscellany & More

"NOTE: this entire video was shot, edited, and posted at the show from my iOS device.

I had an amazing time at Knobcon 14 (2026) in Chicago. There were more people there this year than I’ve seen since before the pandemic. I had so much fun playing with gear, watching live performances, meeting new people, and catching up with old friends. I tried hard to capture the feel of Knobcon in this video. Enjoy.

Phantom Exposure Interphase Cartograph Sound Demo - Casio VZ range emulation expanded

video upload by Runningonair

"In this video I test out the new Interphase Cartograph from Phantom Exposure.

https://phantomexposure.org/instrumen...

This synth is based on iPD synthesis as used by the Casio VZ range, but it has been significantly expanded."

Music/Support: New Album, BandCamp, Spotify, Merch, PayPal

Interphase Cartograph

"Interactive phase distortion, the Casio VZ engine rebuilt and then extended — two modules per line, one bending or ring-modulating the other, with AM and through-zero FM added.

Interactive phase distortion — iPD — is the technique behind Casio’s VZ-series synthesizers of the late 1980s. Rather than mixing raw oscillator waveforms, it pairs two sound-generating modules into a line and lets one shape the other: bending its phase, or multiplying into it as a ring modulator. The character sits between subtractive and FM — glassy, bell-like, vocal or metallic, and equally capable of plain tones when the interaction stays subtle.

Classic reproduces the original four-line, eight-module architecture with eight iPD waveforms and eight-stage envelopes. Extended adds two more lines, twelve modules, a sixteen-waveform bank, and two interactions the hardware never had: amplitude modulation and through-zero FM. The two are switchable from the header at any time.

Around the engine sit a sixteen-route modulation matrix, a bipolar pitch envelope, patch vibrato and tremolo, an arpeggiator, microtonal tuning with historical temperaments, six performance macros, unison, two LFOs and a randomiser that can roll a whole patch or mutate the one you have. The display is drawn in an OLED style with cyan and amber themes."

"Quick demo of oscilator cluster & chord patch on the gotharman's Tuul

Thank you for watching. My name is Meska of the statik collective . I've been making mostly 'dark and expérimental' music for more than ten years now, i'v learn so much online, now it's time for me to share my knoledge, my exploration and this channel is a place to talk about the tools, sound design and techniques to make music with. You can stream my albums and EPs at https://statikwave.bandcamp.com/. If you'd like to support the channel consider buying music from bandcamp ;) Contact/booking: meskastatik@gmail.com"

Drifting away and blissing out with Spotykach

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"This year at Superbooth, one of the tents that I returned to multiple times was the Synthux Academy tent, mostly to snatch another few minutes with, what is arguably their current flagship product: Spotykach.

Spotykach is one of those wonderful bits of gear that sits in the intersection of effect and instrument, and its focus is around exploring looping in all its forms - emulating tape techniques as well as various eras of digital looping and sampling. It feels to me like a companion to the music making process. It’s surprising without being unpredictable, new ideas are readily born out of whatever input you provide - a perpetual stream of happy accidents.

It can also be approached in many different ways, but in this video as we explore its features, I’m going to focus on one particular way of using it - a more open, unsynchronized, exploratory approach, which is how I’ve been enjoying using it, but it also can be very rhythmic, controlled too - it has a full MIDI implementation and a lot of features around clock synchronization - but I am who I am and I am feeling a little ambient."
