Alpha Syntauri at Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"Named for the closest solar system to our own sun, the Alpha Syntauri was a digital synthesizer that ran on an Apple II computer and also had some proto-DAW-like or at least workstation-like capabilities. It was probably created as a lower cost alternative to the likes of the Fairlight or Synclavier systems that would have been accessible only to institutions and to the most wealthy musicians. While not everybody had a personal computer in 1980, that was at least something that many people could save up to own if they wanted to.

Like many older electronic music curiosities, this Alpha Syntauri system hung around the shop here at Make Noise for a while and then made its way on to its next home. But this one was unusual enough that we thought it might be fun to briefly feature it in a video.

Grip! A legendary compressor redesigned by Izhar Ashdot and Claude AI

video upload by Izhar Ashdot Sound & Vision

"Grip! My take on the LevelLoc compressor. I designed it and let Claude Code handle the coding and debugging."

Additional details from Izhar:

"Here’s a new compressor I built with the amazing help of Claude Code.
It’s a modern and fine tuned homage to the legendary Levelloc.
It sounds like an analog beast but is actually hosted on a Pi Pico 2 microcontroller. "

KORG Z1 - 64 Contemporary Presets - The MOSS Sessions (Sound Library)

video upload by RM Studios

"The KORG Z1 remains one of the most ambitious and expressive synthesizers ever created. ​

Powered by Korg’s legendary MOSS (Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System) engine, the Z1 pushed physical modeling and virtual analog synthesis far beyond the standards of its era, delivering an extraordinary range of sounds with unmatched depth, movement, and playability. ​

Yet, despite the instrument’s incredible capabilities, most available sound libraries still rely on programming approaches and sonic aesthetics dating back to the late ’90s.
We felt it was time to give this iconic synth a fresh voice. ​​​

"The MOSS Sessions” is a completely new sound collection designed specifically to showcase the real power of the MOSS engine with a modern production approach. This library delivers 64 contemporary, inspiring, and instantly usable programs for both studio production and live performance. ​

If you are one of the lucky musicians owning this legendary synthesizer, this collection was made for you. ​

Last Transmission Before Impact | Buchla Space Improvisation

video upload by VoxModula Archives

"This is what I imagined during this improvisation with my Buchla TTA system.
If you have any questions please let me know in the comments.

The fleet is gone.

Only fragments remain: damaged systems, drifting wreckage, fading radar signals, and distant echoes from a war no one remembers.

This Buchla improvisation explores the sounds of deep space through unstable oscillations, evolving textures, metallic resonances, electrical insects, and ghost frequencies emerging from the static.

A journey through silence, interference, and the machinery that continues long after its creators have disappeared.

No presets Just voltage 🚀

Found the above searching for a demo after seeing the listing below. This is the first post to feature the Schober Dynabeat.

via this Reverb listing

This appears to be the first one featured on the site. Moby had a Portable Dynabeat you can see in this post (do a find for Schober when you get there).

"Here’s a rare Schober Dynabeat (1968). It’s a vintage, transistor-based electronic drum machine designed as a DIY kit to accompany Schober organs. It produced percussion sounds (bass drum, tom-tom, cymbals, bongos) using phase-shift oscillators, allowing players to trigger sounds via small pads or by connecting it to the organ’s lower keyboard and pedals."

These appear to be listed separately as well. See the seller's other items.

"We recently acquired these two consecutively cute curiosities courtesy of a very inspiring and equally interesting gentleman and great friend of the late Don Buchla. When I brought them back to the shop, naturally I plugged the 101 in and attempted to get proper scaling and triggering sound out of it for 45 minutes, watching videos reading pointers etc. Finally I tried turning the 5 pin keyboard plug around, and then I lost 4 hours in seemingly 10 minutes. I was floored. I didn’t hook up the 200. The next day I delivered these to my friend and tech in Santa Ana. Within a week he had checked them out , addressed any issues and found them to be fully functional and in great working condition. So I picked them up and was really excited to try the 200. Got back to Fullerton and plugged it in with a mf-104 tailing into an early cooper cs-106+ and went to heaven. The spring sounded like the grampian, the preamp is also in that vein, dual ring modulators are very special. In particular as a studio piece the stereo functionality takes this to another level, signal processing to use while mixing or effecting tracks Is very much more than 1/2 the value with the 200. Awesome machines."

Techno Pattern with Bullfrog Drums 🐸

video upload by Yan Cook

"I absolutely love the form factor and tactile, analog feel of the Bullfrog Drums. I think this 7-track sampler could be an amazing gift for a teenager who's interested in music production, and the built-in microphone and speaker make it even more fun and immediate to use. If I had gotten this when I was 15, I would have gone crazy and used the hell out of it 🙃

In this video, I create a Techno pattern from scratch using all seven tracks and only the factory samples of the machine."
