Ambient cascades | Novation Circuit Monostation, Stylophone Gen X-2 and S-1, Vongon pedals, eurorack

A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I enjoyed having the Vongon Solarfaze and Polyphrase on the table for my last jam and left them there on a whim. That was the starting point. Next, I needed to run a synth through them, so I chose the Novation Circuit Monostation. I borrowed the CMS from a friend and had been looking to make some music with it; my opinion is that it's an extremely underrated synth that can do way more than people recognized at the time. And once I had its sequencer running and a bassline queued up, I could hear more of what was needed.

I also recently got a couple of Stylophones, because they are extremely affordable—the S-1 was something like $60 Canadian—and because I like the sound of them. Using the CMS's CV outputs, I sent a second set of sequences to the Gen X-2, which has CV input. I also took advantage of the Gen X-2's beautiful internal delay for cascading performances. The S-1 ended up my improv melody device for the last third of the song.

At this point, I needed reverb but didn't want to add multiple reverb boxes, so I added the Jellymix to act as stereo send to all the synths. For reverb, I chose the Swells, because I currently have it in a case with the Fieldtone Weaver and Qu-Bit Stardust, which can add a lot to a mix through stereo sample mangling. The Stardust is playing something that came from the CMS into Weaver; the Weaver is playing a snippet of my voice.

By this point, I could hear the full song, and it was just a matter of adding a couple of sequences and performing the whole thing. Pretty fun to see how wanting to explore a bit of hardware can lead to a finished song.

Performed and recorded live to a stereo output from the Jellymix, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Unusable Engineering Slot Sequencers | How They Work

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A walkthrough of the shared slot sequencer system added to all Unusable Engineering effects in version 1.3.0.

Depending on the plugin, the sequencer has four or eight slots. Each slot stores a different set of effect parameters, and the plugin can step or slew between those settings manually, using an internal clock, or in sync with the host.

This video covers:
editing and selecting slots
manual movement between settings
internal and host-clock stepping
Slew in free and clocked modes
copying and pasting slots
randomization
enabling and disabling slots
differences between individual plugins
and a bit of the philosophy behind it"

"Curves & Membranes has also gained a new oscillator mode called Node Mode.

The normal oscillator uses Bézier handles to shape its single-cycle waveform. In Node Mode those handles are replaced by vector points, which changes how the synth sounds and allows much deeper wave folding.

It gives the synth a noticeably more modern and aggressive side while still using the same one-oscillator architecture. Curves & Membranes also got a new Vel->Radius option, where incoming velocity can multiply the radius of its orbital modulators by up to 5x. That makes harder notes introduce more movement rather than just changing level or filter response.

There is also now a preset browser across the full lineup, along with some starting-point presets, version checking and a few smaller workflow and stability improvements.

The updates are free for existing owners and available through the account page: https://www.unusable.net/account/

The two freebies (Binaural Modulator and Cavitation Fractures) have also gotten updated with slot-sequencer, preset-system and some bug fixes.

The Andromeda I Could Never Afford | Fabric Vintage Andromeda

video upload by Autodafe

"The Alesis Andromeda A6 has always been one of my dream synthesizers — unfortunately, it was expensive when it was released, and it's definitely not getting any cheaper today!

I did get the chance to spend some time with a real Andromeda many years ago, when a friend and I produced a demo CD featuring some of its sounds. I still remember being seriously impressed by that huge, complex analog machine.

AIR Music Tech Fabric Vintage Andromeda brings the character of the Alesis Andromeda A6 into the Fabric environment using AIR's advanced multi-sample synthesis engine. It features two main multi-sample oscillators, a virtual analog sub oscillator, noise generator, extensive modulation, envelopes, arpeggiator and a comprehensive effects section.

In this No Talking demo, I'll simply play through a selection of presets and sounds so you can hear what Fabric Vintage Andromeda can do without interruptions.

Theremin & Modular Synth — Full Live Set | Mouyao

video upload by Mouyao

"Live performance recorded at Sleepy Eyes vol.4 by Lunapapa
小号地段Trumpetopia ，Beijing.
August 8, 2026
Artist / Theremin / Modular Synthesizer: Mouyao

My newest live set, first performed in Beijing, using an Abhar, OpenTheremin, and several other modular synthesizers. The performance took place in a small room tucked away in one of Beijing’s hutongs, filled with all kinds of interesting objects and instruments, including a drum kit and cymbals. In the middle section of the set, I tried to explore different frequencies and resonances, searching for ways to make the room itself vibrate (and perhaps even summon a few ghosts from the hutong lol)
After the performance, some audience told me they could feel a strong physical energy and vibration from the back of the room. So maybe the room really was responding."

Michael Whalen's Synth Jam. "SHREDDING! Unapologetically…"

video upload by Michael Whalen

"Here’s some shredness—which, apparently, works best at slower tempos.

I absolutely LOVE this factory sound on the Waldorf Quantum MK II. This :90 romp features some crazy pitch-wheel work, polyphonic aftertouch, and my (patented 😂) hand-over-hand technique.

As ever, the backing track was created entirely by me (no AI BS) and the solo was played LIVE, in one continuous take, for the cameras. No edits. No assembling the 'best bits.' Just playing... Enjoy. M"

Accidentally Made Ambient - Redshift 6

video upload by Sineway

"Got the Redshift 6 about a month ago, and I was just exploring it for a couple of hours when I accidentally made this. It's not really a complete track, more of a slow, floating texture that built itself while I was just poking at the built-in sequencer (new in firmware 1.6).

No external sequencing here - everything is the Redshift on its own, straight out of the stereo outs. About halfway into the jam, I route the audio into the Chroma Console and then the Microcosm.

Sometimes music just happens. This one moved me, so I wanted to share it here. As soon as Supercritical adds patch export support, I'll share this one on my Patreon."
