Fading Horizons | Ambient Session with Sequential Fourm & Digitone2 (Soft Pulse 10)

video upload by Haiko Senchan

"It's been a wild week, and the Sequential Fourm has arrived. This is my first real session with the synth, and I think I like it. I always thought I didn't need a keyboard, but I guess I was wrong. Since the synth doesn't have any built-in effects, I naturally added plenty in Ableton. Delay, reverb, and a few other things to give the sound some punch as part of the Ambient series.

All the sounds are from the Fourm except for one arpeggiator line. I used Stepic to trigger the Digitone and opened and closed the filter in the video. I also played the high pad live during the video.

I think the synth will be staying for a while; it was a real joy to create this track, and I hope you like it.

I wish you all a happy, sunny weekend."

Ambient Music with Synths and Forest Field Recordings | Resonance of the forest 2026-05-31 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An ambient piece layering the sounds of the forests of Karuizawa with ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP88.

On the Moog One, the filter envelope is set to loop mode, transforming chords into evolving drones.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed with filtering and reverb applied through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

On the Nord Lead, synth pads are played through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus with reverb processing.

On the CP88, Rhodes sounds are performed with delay.

The field recordings were captured in the forests of Karuizawa. They include the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves, a small stream, and birdsong."

BOARDS OF CANADA - Father And Son (COVER - Elektron Syntakt & Prophet REV2)

video upload by nicola neeco

"It immediately stood out to me as one of the most interesting tracks on the record, so I wanted to explore it in my own way rather than recreate it exactly.

I didn’t use the vocal samples, both because they’re difficult to replicate and because I was more interested in focusing on the rhythm and groove created by the synth, drums, and bass working together.

For the sound, I used the Prophet Rev2 for the keys and the Elektron Syntakt for the drums, bass and a pad-like sound.
All the patches and programming were done by me from scratch."

Roland TR-1000 & Oberheim TEO-5 - basic dub

"The bass loop on the TR's 'CC' part was also created on the TEO-5.
I love the TEO's reverb. No additional processing."

"Like a small handful of other sample based drum machines of the mid 1980s, the Roland TR-707 is a punchy beatbox which still has a home in an electronic musician's toolkit. The sounds all sit wonderfully in a mix to this day, and the individual outputs make this a great machine for the most particular of producers. This example of the 707 is in great shape, fully functional, and comes with the manual, box and power supply. Serial Number: 521000 This one was serviced in house by our techs."

Lox | Twin Monomachine IDM | First pass with the new ems-monomachine-firmware

video upload by MIDERA

"Alright - so I guess someone really cool (Em-) decided to give the Elektron Monomachine new life - I installed this on both my Monomachines and gave it a test. I know there are some bugs, but after reading through them it didn't seem like it would affect what I was doing. I'm extremely excited by the updates, as they address the thing I missed a lot on the Monomachine - independent track lengths. Here you can hear just a single pattern with longer total patterns. Honestly, it's kind of game changing. So thank you Em-. This is great!

Here's where you can go to get this release: https://github.com/emuyia/ems-monomac...

Meet Meow Seq

video upload by Floof Audio

"Meet Meow Seq, a VST3 sequencer inspired by modular setups.
Download the free trial from floofaudio.com

Full version is 25% off for the first two weeks (until June 15).

Meow Seq is a sequencer, a MIDI phrase writer, and a creative kick in the pants to your everyday piano-roll-oriented life.

At its core, two machines work together to generate a single MIDI output. The top machine controls timing, when notes happen and for how long. The bottom machine controls pitch, which notes play and how. Both machine contains five sequencers, all running independently with their own step lengths and play modes. Mix and match freely to build patterns that evolve and surprise, then route the output to any hardware or software synth you like.

The inspiration comes from Eurorack-style sequencing, where multiple sequencers interact to control time, pitch, and modulation in complex and sometimes chaotic ways."

Modular Dub Techno Sounds AMAZING

video upload by EZBOT

"There is something about Dub Techno that I just can't get enough of. Maybe it's the echoing chords and atmospheres, or maybe it's the clean simplicity of the drum programming. Whatever it is modular synthesizers seem to do it the best. The advantage of modular is the fact that we can have so many AAA effects and voices in a single compact case. Today I show you what that can sound like and discuss why it works in this particular 7U 104hp arrangement. Let's make some tunes! Today's featured module is the XAOC Odessa, an additive oscillator with great hands on control."

Did Moog ruin synths? Suzanne Ciani reveals analog's original sin.

video upload by SpectreVision Radio and Phantom Power Podcast

"Today we talk to modular synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani and MIT Spatial Sound Lab researcher Kamran V. Suzanne and Kamran both love quadraphonic sound, and they have a new quad release coming out on June 4th called Ciani/Orkest. They are on a mission to make quadraphonic music accessible to both musicians and to listeners, and in this interview, Kamran will explain how, you, with no special equipment, can listen to their new album in quad.
We'll also get into how analog synthesizers actually work, the early history of Buchla synths versus Moog synths, why Suzanne thinks keyboards diminish the potential of synths, and how Suzanne designed some of the most recognizable sounds of the 1980s.
Suzanne Ciani is a Grammy Award nominated composer, electronic musician, and neoclassical recording artist who has released over 20 solo albums, including Seven Waves and The Velocity of Love. Her work has been featured in Hollywood films, video games, and countless commercials. She was inducted into the first class of keyboard magazine's Hall of Fame, alongside Bob Moog, Don Buchla, and Dave Smith. And she was the subject of the feature documentary, A Life in Waves.
Kamran V is an arts technologist and MIT Spatial Sound Lab researcher, and he's a National Endowment for the Arts grant recipient. He's worked at Interscope Records, produced immersive music releases for Nine Inch Nails, Sting, and Beck, and he ran the music tech fest, Moogfest. He's also on the board of Dub Lab.

Introducing KOSMOS-ONE by GreyScale

video upload by plantssystem

"Introducing KOSMOS-ONE.

Despite being an extremely small piece of hardware—just a thumb-sized Raspberry Pi Pico + DAC—all parameters can be fully controlled via TouchOSC.

A new minimal generative instrument that lets you enjoy the sound creation of the PRA32-U 'in the palm of your hand.' It's small enough to sit on the edge of your desk, yet it can create 'that sound' just fine."

Andreas Trobollowitsch // Live @ Erica Synths Garage

video upload by Erica Synths

"Andreas Trobollowitsch’s residency at Erica Synths Garage felt less like traditional sound design and more like an ongoing experiment in movement, texture and controlled unpredictability. A Vienna-based electroacoustic musician, composer and sound artist, Andreas works at the intersection of sound, visual art and mechanics - building self-developed instruments and exploring rotation, physical processes and unconventional ways of producing sound. During his stay, wooden turntables met drum machines, mechanical systems collided with synthesisers, and ideas developed through curiosity rather than fixed outcomes.
