The $500,000 Synth Motown Bought To Replace Its Songwriters

"Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol

I'm a big fan of synthesizers, but also a big fan of Motown music, could you imagine a more perfect video and story to tell. The Electronium is a bit of a mystery, it's existence is very real, but it's claims are somewhat questionable. Raymond Scott the creator was an incredible creative, what a force in music and technology. Barry Gordy tried to be the first in the world with this ground breaking machine. Here's the story."

Introducing DMNO ON — Desktop Synthesizer


video upload by UDO Audio

"DMNO ON is the full-featured 8-voice, 2-part multi-timbral DMNO synthesizer in a compact desktop format. Built around two independent analog-hybrid synth engines, it retains DMNO’s highly flexible signal architecture, with each engine featuring our new Dynamic Multi-Core Stereo VCF. Eight creative Play Modes unlock dynamic interactions between the two timbres at the touch of a single control, while its flexible analog and digital audio connectivity make it a truly expansive and immediate sound design sandbox.

The ON System allows players to add an optional synth control unit to recreate the dual-panel DMNO interface, or choose from a range of expansion modules to extend it further and build their perfect DMNO. Play ON!

The New UDO DMNO ON! Desktop DMNO - with George Hearn

video upload by sonicstate

"‪@udo_audio‬ has introduced the UDO DMNO ON, a desktop version of its DMNO synthesizer that keeps the full voice count, the hybrid engine and the multi-timbral architecture while doing away with the keyboard. It is not a cut-down instrument: this is a complete 8-voice, 2-part multi-timbral DMNO in a box measuring 487 x 220 x 107mm and weighing 4.5kg, built around the same two independent analog-hybrid synth engines and retaining the flexible signal architecture of the original.

For anyone who liked the sound of DMNO but did not want another keyboard in the room, this could be for you.

DMNO ONE has the same voice architecture as the keyboard."

Antonus On The Run


video upload by Antonus

"Antonus 2600 + 3620. Free jam over 'On the Run'

Jamming around the On the Run patch from Pink Floyd. Done originally with the wonderful EMS SYNTHI AKS, I took the freedom to make a kind of homage to this historic track, using mostly the Antonus 2600 + Antonus 3620 for make in real time what was done in multitracking. This is done as improvisation at the moment with no multitrack and no extra processing, only the 2600 spring reverb processing all, and not looking for replicate exactly or make perfect replication of the original theme. Looking for show the true pure sound of the analog system, the living behaviour of all, and the interaction that can be done with all parts in powerful synergy. While is of course different sound colour than the inimitable EMS synths, the 2600 have his own personality and also capable of make their own raw and raspy sound, different than mellow or sweet sounds used in other previous demos. Step Brother and pair of euro modules at SidecARP adds some animation at the modulations, but basically most is done with just the 2600+3620"

PPG 1002 Synthesizer Black Edition


video upload by Cornel Hecht

"Only three Black Editions exist within the total production run of 102 PPG 1002 synthesizers. An all-black finish, larger control knobs, and refined analog VCOs and LFO bring a distinctive touch to this reissue while preserving its vintage character. www.ppgsynth.com"



"Three instruments worldwide.
One of them could be yours.
A SPECIAL PIECE OF PPG

Some instruments are chosen for more than their sound. They embody a history, a distinctive aesthetic, and the joy of having something special in front of you.

The PPG 1002 Black Edition is one such instrument. Limited to just three units worldwide, it combines the distinctive analog PPG sound with a design exclusive to this edition.

Finished entirely in black, with black anodized 3D side panels featuring the PPG logo and larger control knobs, the PPG 1002 reveals a new side of its personality. Clean, striking, and carefully considered down to the last detail.

An instrument to play, explore, and treasure.

Further refinements have been made under the hood: both analog oscillators have been optimized once again to bring out the authentic PPG sonic character."

3. Cherry Audio | "Pentaphonic Cruise" by Steve Peglar

"Cherry Audio's Pentaphonic synthesizer revives the ultra-rare polyphonic hybrid synthesizer originally developed by Gleeman Instruments in 1981. With fewer than 70 units ever produced, this synthesizer is legendary for its rich tone, distinctive design, and pioneering sequencing capabilities. This emulation faithfully reproduces the lush sound of its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) and analog-filter architecture while capturing the visual essence of the synthesizer "made to be seen, not just heard."

https://cherryaudio.com/products/pent... Cherry Audio has taken its capabilities to new heights with expanded polyphony, expressive performance, polyphonic and parameter sequencing, and a library of studio-quality effects. Our visual makeover offers a choice of stunning designs inspired by the various looks it sported during its brief existence."

Cherry Audio Pentaphonic: A rare synthesizer masterpiece reborn

video upload by CatSynth TV

"CatSynth presents a deep dive into the new Pentaphonic from our friends at Cherry Audio. This is a recreation of the extremely rare Gleeman Pentaphonic synthesizer, complete with its unique look featuring crystaline transparent knobs and a translucent body. The Pentaphonic was an analog polyphonic synth with a few twists, including three digital oscillators with microcontroller-generated waveforms that were fed into an analog Steiner Parker filter. We explore the emulation of these unique features as well as Cherry Audio's enhancements for modulation, effects, and motion. We also check out a few of the factory and expansion-pack presets.

Scanner:Library - Product Tour With Robin Rimbaud

Scanner: Library - Robins Sound Design Preset Tour

video upload by Soniccouture

"Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), plays some of the presets he designed for Scanner: Library and talks about his sound-design process."

https://www.soniccouture.com/en/produ...


A Personal History Of Sound
Scanner and Soniccouture have collaborated to develop a custom tool to utilise his huge personal tape archive, documenting an entire sonic life and career.

Stripped back to the basics, Scanner: Library is a bold experiment in the power of layering sound. With such a diverse and characterful archive to draw upon, it was imperative that the interface would tread lightly.

Three modules with basic envelopes + filters, a delay unit and some custom reverbs. This setup gives over 10 million possible combinations of sounds gathered over a 40 year career.

Fragments, Loops & Possibilities
Scanner: Library features 401 original recordings + a library of 200 presets to get you started. Robin designed over 100 presets himself.

Most of the audio was recovered from cassette tapes, and features the famous police scanner recordings, electronic improvisations, location audio, analogue experiments and all manner of sonic ephemera.

HollowTone - Deep Ambient Worlds. Preview


video upload by Igor Vasiliev

"HollowTone is built on a simple but quietly ambitious idea: that a soundscape can be alive. Not just looping, not just evolving, but genuinely breathing as a world of its own. Instead of relying on samples or fixed recordings, it uses procedural audio, sound generated in real time through algorithms, to let each layer respond, shift, and intertwine like living matter.

Because every layer is synthesized at the moment you hear it, they can balance themselves, lean into each other, or gently collide in ways that feel organic and unpredictable. Mist, pulse, liquid motion, digital sparks, a whisper behind a veil - each one is its own environment, yet together they form a single, continuous dimension.

And that's the heart of HollowTone: a place where textures drift like fog, pulses echo through unseen structures, and strange atmospheres unfold with the quiet logic of dreamworlds and liminal spaces. You don't just listen to it. You step into it, and it keeps reshaping itself around you, endlessly."

4-Track Groovebox on the M-VAVE FM-1?! | Sloop Custom Firmware Jam


video upload by Noob Tones

"Turning the M-VAVE FM-1 into a 4-track groovebox with the Sloop custom firmware.

Sloop completely changes the FM-1 workflow, giving you a compact groovebox setup with 4 tracks — 3 synths and 1 drum machine, plus real-time performance controls and effects.

For this jam, I recorded the FM-1 into Logic Pro, then added a little extra analog character using Magma Channel Stripand Abbey Road J37 Tape.

The goal was to keep the performance feeling raw and live, while adding a bit more warmth, saturation, and tape-style texture in the final mix.
