video upload by PARKER
"The first attempt at re-scoring the classic cinematic masterpiece 'Metropolis'.
Beginning with the iconic 'Moloch' sequence where a massive industrial machine transforms into the biblical pagan god of sacrifice, devouring the underground workers.
Seems like it's still relevant in our times doesn't it....
All sounds made with one synth in one take..."

"Were you aware of Sheep? The relatively unknown and rare gem of a wavetable oscillator from Mutable Instruments? It's an alternate firmware for the mk1 Tides module, direct from Mutable Instruments and its a module (both Tides and Sheep) I've loved for years, so it was finally time to put a video together to share the sounds and lots of patch examples with them.

Hopeful soundscape for a once green landscape
video upload by Hazel Mills
"An improvised soundscape with the intention of allowing only the simplest and subtlest of changes and manipulations (e.g. oscillator detuning, filter swelling and slow evolution of note changes and scale implications).
Head to my Patreon for an accompany tutorial video about different musical approaches to simple synth drone soundscapes - / hazelmills

Minimal Electronica w/ TENORI-ON & MU15 MIDI Electric Piano | Splinkler 2026-08-05 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A minimal electronica piece where the sounds of the TENORI-ON and a simple MIDI electric piano blur and blend together.
On the TENORI-ON, a sequence is looped and sent into the TX-6 with a small amount of reverb. The signal is then processed through the @HologramElectronics MICROCOSM with additional reverb and layered micro loops. The PHRASE LOOPER is also used to repeat phrases, which are then played back in reverse.
TheYAMAHA MU15 provides a simple electric piano sound that is processed through the MOOD MKII to generate micro loops and add delay. The signal is then passed through the @strymon NIGHTSKY, where filtering and reverb transform it into a more abstract texture."

Indtroducing AcidBoxMynah
video upload by MoShang
"AcidBoxMynah is an alternative firmware that turns the Mynah into an acid groovebox. Based on the open source AcidBox project for ESP32. It provides an acid combo of tb303 + tb303 + tr808 like synths. Filter cutoff, reso, env mod, accent, wavefolder, overdrive within each 303, per-instrument tunings, hi-pass/lo-pass filter and bitcrusher in drums, send to reverb, delay and master compression
While the original project is headless, the AcidBoxMynah fork provides direct control with the Mynah hardware and adds a number of additional features detailed in the user Manual below. Like the original firmware, the AcidBoxMynah is open source and made available under the MIT license.
More info at https://groovesizer.com/"
Update: press release follows:
"Hot on the heels of Mynah's launch this past May, Groovesizer has released AcidBoxMynah - a free, open-source alternative firmware that transforms the ESP32-S3-based sampler into a dedicated acid groovebox.
Built on copych's open-source AcidBox project, AcidBoxMynah takes what was originally a headless engine and gives it a full physical UI on Mynah hardware - 24 tactile switches, an 8×2 NeoPixel grid, OLED display, and a single pot for hands-on parameter control. Under the hood, it's a combo of two TB-303-style synths plus a TR-808-style drum machine, with filter cutoff, resonance, envelope mod, accent, wavefolder and overdrive per synth voice, plus hi-pass/lo-pass filtering and bitcrushing on the drums, all routed through send effects and master compression.
The Mynah fork adds a 16-step sequencer with per-step note, accent and slide editing, 16-lane synth and 8-lane drum automation, scale quantization, swing, and manual Sequencer Mode in addition to the original's autonomous Jukebox Mode. Quality-of-life additions include runtime drum kit browsing, per-voice muting, and pot-lock to prevent accidental parameter jumps.
Like the original AcidBox, it's fully open source under MIT license.
Switching is effortless. Owners can flash AcidBoxMynah straight from the Mynah web app's firmware tab and swap back to standard Mynah firmware anytime - AcidBoxMynah keeps its own folder on the SD card, so nothing overwrites or conflicts with existing samples and patterns.
AcidBoxMynah is available now at groovesizer.com/acidbox-mynah."

Atrium whimsical raps first jam
video upload by Oracle -001
"I wanted to set out on my first time powering on the raps with the idea of making noise and maybe hearing the low pass gate ping. I have tried alot of ribbon style controllers and this one is different I think the company would make a lot of money just making it as a midi controller. Peace ✌️"
Poly Evolver Keyboard synth song
video upload by Brian Schaft
"The PEK synth is my favorite synth. On-board it has 120 wave shapes with a very well thought-out array of them- allowing for a wide texture of sound. This song is basically just three patches. The drum and cymbals are acoustic."

First patch ‘flute monster’ - Error Instruments Cloudbusting
video upload by Lo-Fi-Si
"Error Instruments - Cloudbusting
Walrus Audio - Qi Etherealizer
First patch. I love the Error Instruments vibe. Paul Tas is a really interesting creator. But this is the one device I’ve been waiting to get hold of. Mainly for the ‘plum’ CV input mode which creates these wonderful flute like tones. Trying to work out how the different controls interact is quite a task as the functionality changes for each mode. I’m not a great fan of the ‘clips’ for patching as they are really fiddly. The build quality is fantastic though. Very solid and tidy.
Anyways, this is sending the main output to the Plum mode, with use of the drone and FM modes too.
Etherealizer is adding delay, reverb and +octave granular."

SATURNO MERCURIO SATURNO | Doctor Fungus #arpoloop
video upload by LepLoop
"πͺ Voyage 4: From Gravity to Heat ☄️
In the fourth session of The ArpoLoop Space Sessions, Doctor Fungus navigates the extreme contrast between the heavy, resonant gravity of SATURNO and the erratic, sun-scorched speed of MERCURIO. Watch as the ArpoLoop's note generator moving from deep, sustained glitch into frantic, high-frequency rhythmic patterns, then settling back into the expansive atmosphere of the ringed giant.
