OAK Sampler - New Ensoniq ASR-10 Inspired Sampler Workstation Keyboard Synthesizer In the Works

video upload by oak sampler

Meet the upcoming "OAK-S37 Sampling Workstation" keyboard synthesizer.

Playlist with additional details:

1. OAK Sampler Sound Playback and Effects Test

I absolutely love the ASR-10. I’m building a new hardware workstation inspired by the ASR-10 that runs the original OS , effects etc and replicates the HW in a modern form. There will be some updates on the project. This is the boot and general test. Potato speaker recording. #asr10 #90ssampling

2. OAK Sampler (ASR-10 in Hardware) Sequencing & Sample Editing

I love the ASR-10. I’m building a new hardware sampler inspired by the ASR-10. It can run the original Ensoniq ASR-10 OS and effects algorithms. This video shows sequencing and sample editing on the OAK Sampler.

3. OAK Sampler (ASR-10 in Hardware) vs ASR-10 Sound Comparison

This video compares the OAK-S37 and an the ASR-10 using the same sequence, individual samples, filters, envelopes, and effects.

I recreated “93 ’til Infinity” as a test project using identical files across both systems.

I intend to do a limited first run eventually (no dates yet).

4. OAK Sampler (ASR-10 in Hardware) Loading Original Ensoniq Sample CDs

In this video I load projects from the original ASR-10 Ensoniq Sample CD. It shows proper playback of the complex arrangements, accurate instruments and effects on the OAK. Totally 90’s.

5. OAK Sampler (ASR-10 in Hardware) vs ASR-10 Effects

In this video it’s shows an comparison of the OAK-S and ASR-10 internal effects.

The second half demonstrates live effects monitoring. One of my favorite ASR-10 features was using it as a real-time effects processor, and I wanted that preserved in the OAK-S. It uses effects from the Ensoniq CDR-3 CD banks

GreyScale-NewTune #kosmos2

video upload by plantssystem

"GreyScale returns with a new generative performance built on the evolving KOSMOS‑2 engine, this time in collaboration with the PS‑Vita–based Drum Stream DS‑8.

The pairing creates a bright, solid sonic architecture: KOSMOS‑2 drives fluid melodic motion and probability‑based phrasing, while the DS‑8 injects crisp digital percussion with a uniquely handheld character.

The result is a compact but highly dynamic system — a hybrid of embedded generative logic and portable drum synthesis — forming a sound that is unmistakably GreyScale: minimal, sharp, and constantly evolving.

Features highlighted in this release:
- Generative Engine — KOSMOS‑2’s expanded modulation paths and refined Euclidean behavior
- Hybrid Clocking — pulse‑driven interaction between sequencer and handheld drum module
- Bright Solid Timbre — DS‑8’s digital transients layered with KOSMOS‑2’s controlled harmonic drift
- Portable Performance Setup — a minimal rig producing a surprisingly wide sonic field

A fresh direction for GreyScale, and a glimpse into how compact devices can form a powerful generative ecosystem." GreyScale-KOSMOS2_Explanation #kosmos2

"A beat-driven piece built from cut-up drums, bass, and keyboard instruments.

This work features Prophet-10, CP-88, and OP-1 field.

On the Prophet-10, the main melody is performed. The CP-88 provides the harmonic foundation.

On the OP-1 field, decorative phrases are played and processed with delay through the ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE.

The bass and drum parts are recorded separately and edited in a DAW.

A haunting love theme played using the Haxocorder

video upload by MIDI IN

"The title is a little tongue in cheek but I felt the urge to write a nice melody. The original plan was to write something that I could play on my e-ther, which would sound truly haunting, but after using a flute as a placeholder (and writing in some fast embelishments and articulation) I decided to play it using my Haxocorder and a flute software instrument.

Is D minor really the saddest of all keys?
• Which key is the saddest?"

"Noodling. But always trying something new.
All tonal elements except for the bass go through Forget Me Not and Ricorda."

OBERHEIM FVS w/ Custom Patch Panel by Analog Sweden

This one was spotted and sent in via
M Me.

"Vintage Oberheim FVS-1 (Analog Sweden patchbay mod!!)
Fully functional.

It is a fully functional and—aside from the mod—completely original Oberheim 4-Voice FVS-1.
It was modified by the geniuses at Analog Sweden to be "fully patchable," but the original output board (including the faceplate) is tucked away inside the synth, so it can be restored to its original state if desired!"

This is how Joel uses CHOMPI

video upload by chase bliss

"It's pretty well-documented that Joel loves CHOMPI, but we never really took a moment to show you why. So here's that moment. Honestly, we thought there would be more talking involved in this video, but instead Joel just made a bunch of insane beats. Sometimes actions speak louder than words."
