Performance Mixer: The Melodic and Drum Bus Explained

video upload by EZBOT

"The Melodic Bus and Drum Bus Performance Mixer concepts are built to make live sets feel effortless: faster routing, tighter control, and more expressive movement with fewer steps. They’re designed around practical performance decisions, so you can shape tone, space, and energy in real time without breaking flow, while still leaving plenty of room for your own style and surprises. In today's stream I will teach how to build this out on the Elektron Octatrack MK2. This is a deep dive tutorial.

EMW WCS-X Oscillator Demo – Wavetables, LFOs, AD Generators, PWM modulation & Sync

video upload by EMW Synthesizers

"This video demonstrates the oscillator section of the WCS-X synthesizer, focusing on its waveforms, LFOs, PWM/Wave shaping modulation, Vintage effect character, and Hard Sync behavior.
All sounds are generated directly by the WCS-X. The demo highlights the raw tonal character of the oscillators as well as their response to modulation and oscillator interaction."

SynTesla Presents 5U Animator Module

video upload by SynTesla

"SynTesla presents the Animator 5U module.

The electronics for this module were conceived by the brilliant mind of Yves Usson. It is a new kind of module, quite different from what one usually finds in a modular synthesizer.

The Animator (temporary name, we need to find a better one) will generate a modulated mix of four waveforms of different pitches and types from a simple external sawtooth wave.

This module is a real achievement because it is 100% analog. It will be available in the next SynTesla 5U systems."

Creative ways to patch the Multi Repetitor rhythm generator

"Multi Repetitor really pops when you start pairing it with other modules!

In our latest blog, we explore creative ways to patch Multi Repetitor with Confundo Funkidos, Mimetic Digitwolis, Sinc Defero, and more. From accented rhythms and trigger setups to evolving generative sequences, these patches show how quickly things can grow from simple pulses into full rhythmic systems.

Katla Volcanic Synth - Genki's New Instrument at Buchla & Friends

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We get an introduction to Katla, an enigmatic new synthesizer from Iceland-based Genki Instruments, at Buchla & Friends 2026. Named one of the largest volcanoes in Iceland, Katla is synthesizer that combines five digital oscillator voices with envelopes, analog filters and wavefolders, and a set of "Kalta" chaotic parameters, for an organic, "controlled-chaos", sound and performance. It also features side panels and knobs made from volcanic lava rocks.

Repair Report: BOSS DR-55 Dr. Rhythm Foot Switch Restoration

This one is in via supporting member GreyScale aka plantssystem who had the following to say:

Restoring a Classic: BOSS DR-55 Foot Switch Jack Replacement

"The BOSS DR-55 is a staple of early 80s minimal wave and synth-pop, but its plastic jacks are often a point of failure after four decades."

The Issue

The unit arrived with a missing original foot switch jack, rendering remote Start/Stop operations impossible. To ensure a rugged and reliable fix, I decided to upgrade the component rather than searching for a rare vintage plastic replacement.

The Solution: Switchcraft 12A

I opted for a Switchcraft 12A 1/4" Mono Jack (Shorting/Tip-Shunt). This is a classic choice for vintage gear due to its high-quality metal construction and reliability.

* Fit: The Switchcraft 12A fits the DR-55 chassis, though it requires careful grounding to the metal frame/PCB common.

* Wiring: Wired specifically to handle the DR-55's Start/Stop trigger logic.

Results

The repair was a total success. The unit now responds perfectly to a standard momentary foot switch.

* Start: Functional.

* Stop: Functional.

* Reliability: The metal Switchcraft jack provides a much more secure connection than the original plastic housing.

This DR-55 is now back in the studio, ready for another 40 years of 16-step sequences.
