Leviasynth With The Tonverk Is Almost TOO MUCH Synth

video upload by EZBOT

"The ASM Leviasynth is the next big synth from ASM Synthesizers, the company that brought the incredibly popular Hydrasynth. The company is also host to popular sound designers and the CFO is none other than the Daniel Troberg, the "Octafather" formerly from Elektron. The Leviasynth is the deepest synth in my collection, offering more customization and shortcuts than any other synth I've picked up. Today, we will discuss it a bit and jam with it via the Elektron Tonverk."

Hypercube Quadriphonique

video upload by Valmont

"Hypercube Quadriphonique", October 2024. This installation was part of a larger practical exercise at the ENS Louis Lumière master's degree.
Two meters above ground, inclined at an ominous angle, the cube generated four sets of textures layered into a quadriphonic speaker setup. A master OSC patch controlled all the devices in the exposition room ; on my end for my cube I was running MIDI and CV.
I first built a 16-channels 12-bits controller to get everything in harmony, but ended up simplifying the equation to use 4-states inputs and 4 audio outputs, traveling back and forth through the cube in a massive cable liana. The room environment was cyclically controlled by the master patch, and my cube would reconfigure its instruments to play along with the other creations. All sounds were made on a dozen oscillators, a handful of sample players and some Live processing. There was some random breakbeat chops too lmao I loved it, but I lost the session, so I only got some raw cube recordings, which I edited/mixed into this video. Additional black tiles were made to close off the bottom of the cube (just blank PCBs actually!)
Thanks again to Mains d'Œuvres, Franck for the safety tips, my father who helped me cut & paint the wood, and Neurotypic who lent me half the modules. I don't know anyone else who would just say yes to putting laboratory-grade devices into this... thing, suspended with fishing wire!

My name is Valmont, I'm 24 from Paris! I compose/produce music, repair instruments and take sound on movie sets :) After a double bachelor in musicology and mechanics in Sorbonne, I ended up doing the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Louis-Lumière.
I wrote my thesis on Publison and Early Digital, which ultimately tied together my long-standing fascination in vintage machines, servicing and technical demystification with my personal attraction to these instruments.
I tend to hope for a unified low-level approach to music production guided by DIY values. This Youtube channel is a form of its realization!

Soft Cell - Tainted Love | 80s Synthpop Cover | Maxi-Korg 800DV, PPG Wave & Emulator II

video upload by RetroSound

"My cover of the iconic 1981 Soft Cell synthpop classic “Tainted Love”, recreated with authentic vintage synthesizers and samplers from the 80s electronic music era.

For this version, I used:

🎹 Maxi-Korg 800DV – analog bass and fx synthesizer sounds
🎹 PPG Wave 2.2 – main theme and pads
🎹 E-MU Emulator II – CR-78 drum and additional sampling sounds

The goal was to capture the atmosphere, character and raw electronic aesthetic of classic 1980s synthpop, while giving the song my own production and sound approach.

' Tainted Love ' became one of Soft Cell’s defining songs after its release in 1981. The duo Marc Almond and Dave Ball transformed the earlier soul song into a minimalist, dark and highly influential synthpop classic. The song was originally written by Ed Cobb and first recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964.

Soft Cell’s version became a major international hit and helped define the sound of early-1980s electronic pop, with synthesizers, electronic rhythms and a distinctive minimalist arrangement.

For me, recreating this track with vintage hardware is also a journey back to the analog and early digital sound of the 1980s — before modern software instruments became the standard. Dave Ball wrote me he used the Korg Bass and the Synclavier in the original song."

0-Coast by MakeNoise | 10 years later

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I am not sure when I saw the 0-Coast for the first time. I had no idea it was already around for two years when I started modular in 2018. The 0-Coast became my 'tiny teacher' after getting lost in the Shared System first. It turned out to be crucial to fully understand that everything is voltage, and every circuit can make sound even when the circuit is intended for something else. The 0-Coast combines Buchla, Serge and Moog philosophies in one tabletop unit. By itself, it provides endless possibilities provided by its confined option space. I can safely say it gets better as your own skills develop. And don't forget to use stackables or a mult."

Minimal Audio Current 50 Atmospheric Arp Presets. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

✨ "Dreaming Motion" is a bank of 50 Arp Presets for Minimal Audio Current 2, combining warm analog-inspired sounds with soft and airy atmospheres.
The collection moves between retro synth character, subtle analog imperfections, dreamy textures, and spacious evolving arpeggios, giving the bank both nostalgic and modern sides.

📦 The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/curr...
👤 The author of the soundset is Ilian.

🎛️ Each preset features 4 Macros for shaping the sound, while the Modwheel adds additional movement and expression.
The macros are a significant part of the soundset. They can change tone, stereo width, modulation depth and rate, noise level, distortion, detuning, space/echo/reverb, effects mix, envelope parameters, and others.
You may control them via MIDI controller, use them for automation, or map the macros to your DAW modulators like LFO, Shaper, and others.

📻 The patches are perfect for Electronica, Synthwave, Ambient, IDM, Downtempo, Melodic Techno, Chillout, and experimental electronic music.

🎹 All Arps are designed in either C Major or C Minor, following Current 2’s tonal Arp system. This makes the presets easy to use while keeping their harmonic character consistent. You can change the Scale in the lower right corner of the synthesizer to the one used in your track.

mechanical minimalism: korg's phase8 + spare parts

video upload by Electrum Modular

"Korg phase8 is a minimalist machine: marimba-like tones, polymetric sequencing, looping patterns. Channeling Steve Reich but also John Cage, here’s my prepared-piano take on the phase8, using brass washers and springs. Disting NT’s Kirbinator pushes it into glitchier territory.

What happens when you modulate Clairaudient at audio-rates

video upload by Omri Cohen

"This is an experiment with the new Clairaudient VCO. I wanted to see how far I can take it by modulating its various parameters at audio-rates. These patches are quite minimal, but the results are very much interesting.

Living the Euclidean Dream - A Hands-Off Eurorack Patch

video upload by Scrapcode Modular

"A slow, relaxing musical meditation on Eurorack. No post processing - audio goes straight from the rack's headphone output to the camera input.

Patch notes:

Audio signal flow:

4x Osciallators from @scrapcodemodular QUORD - Chord Sequence Oscillator (prototype)
into
4x inputs of Doepfer A-105-4 Quad Poly VCF (low pass filter)
into
4x inputs of @behringer Four Play VCA
into
4x inputs of @Dreadbox-synths Psychosis (adding panning movement and delay effect)
into
Stereo input on @behringer rack mixer (adding stereo chorus/reverb effect)
into
Stereo input on camera

Envelope modulation:
@scrapcodemodular WONK - Quad Envelope Generator is controlling both the VCF and VCA for each of the four notes individually. This is being triggered by the @scrapcodemodular AXIOM - Euclidean Rhythm Generator, which is set to a 15 step pattern. The trigger for the bass note is multed to the QUORD's 'Play Next' input to progress the chord each time a bass note is played. This gives a slow 12/8 feel due to the 8 chord sequence, but as AXIOM is running over 15 steps, any repetitions in rhythm are spread throughout the pattern rather than being repeated each bar.

LFO modulation:
As well as the Psychosis adding stereo interest, slow LFOs have been patched into various parameters on AXIOM to keep the rhythm changing - not so much as to be jarring or unfamiliar, but enough that the same order of notes almost never repeats. Further cyclical modulation has also been applied to the WONK parameter (changing envelope timings) and the filter's cutoff frequency. LFOs have been attenuated using @scrapcodemodular QUATT - Multenuverter."
