boards of canada - the process (cover)
video upload by fischek
"A piano and synth cover of 'The Process' by the legendary Boards of Canada, from their incredible new album, 'Inferno'.
I've been captivated by the 'Inferno' album since its release and wanted to share my interpretation of this beautifully soothing and melancholic track. If you enjoy this, let me know in the comments! I'm planning to cover more from the album soon, with 'Naraka,' 'Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan,' and 'Blood in the Labyrinth' being next on my list.
What's your favorite track from the new album?

Exploring the Hexinverter / Erica Synths Mindphaser | Drone Sound Study
video upload by synthetic theory
"Yesterday was Drone Day and technically I'm one day late, because I didn't finish the post-processing in time. But anyway: this felt like the right moment to share something a little different.
I'm currently expanding my rack and learning how to operate a few new modules properly. One of them is the Hexinverter / Erica Synths Mindphaser. At first, I honestly wasn't completely convinced. I tried it, struggled to find the right tones, packed it back into the box and was already planning to send it back.
But then I gave it one more evening.
Instead of judging it too quickly, I tried to understand how it actually works. I slowed down, explored the interaction between the oscillators, the modulation paths, the waveshaping, and the strange areas between tone and chaos. And then the potential suddenly became clear.
Some modules simply need more attention. They have a learning curve and they don't always reveal themselves immediately. But once you reach that point of understanding, they can turn out to be real powerhouses.
So this is not one of my usual performance videos. It's more of a slow exploration: a drone-focused sound study with the Mindphaser at the center, sometimes shaped by effects, filtering, gates, and modulation.

UDO DMNO
video upload by Infested Alien
"And finally it arrived!
A masterpiece of a special poly synth (dual module) :-)
I seriously cannot stop play the UDO synths they are just so fun and special.
These sounds are custom made and no external FX being used, not even compression just to give you a more honest point of view of this machine.
Since this is a crazy machine when it comes to signal path flexibility then patches will jump in volume from patch to patch :-)
This synth will easily push out some of my other synths with all it's right of being an engineering-art literally.
Thank you UDO team for making ground breaking machines and above all keeping your production in UK and the outstanding high quality!"

The FOURM — Here's What It Can Do
video upload by Starsky Carr
"I've spent months building a full 128-patch sound bank for the *Sequential FOURM*, and this is your chance to hear it in action.
The bank includes 50 bass tones (covering everything from deep analogue subs to punchy, cutting leads), classic Prophet-5 patches, and a wide range of sounds designed to be genuinely usable in a mix straight out of the box.
The FOURM isn't trying to be a Prophet-5 or a Pro-One — and that's the point. It can go places those synths simply can't.
All patches are demonstrated dry and some with a simple reverb or chorus to demonstrate what it would sound like in a mix. So what you hear is the real character of the synth.
Download the pack and add your own reverb, delay, or chorus and they open up even further.
✅ Mix-ready sounds designed for real music production
✅ 50 bass tones + leads, pads, keys & classic analogue voices
✅ Prophet-5 inspired patches reimagined for the FOURM
✅ In sysex and SoundTower formats
✅ Full 128-patch bank — one complete sound library"

Kurzweil K2061/K2088 Tutorial: Juno-60 Analog Expansion (part 1)
video upload by Kurzweil Music Systems
"In this video, we take a deep dive into the Kurzweil K2061/K2088 and explore creative V.A.S.T. programming inspired by the legendary Juno-60 sound.
This is Part 1 of a two-part series. We’ll build the patch you heard at the beginning completely from scratch, using only a single saw wave as our starting point.
Rather than recreating a vintage synth directly, this patch expands on the Juno’s classic single-oscillator architecture — demonstrating how Kurzweil’s powerful V.A.S.T. synthesis engine can transform a simple waveform into something far deeper and more expressive.
In this episode, you’ll see how to:
• Design a full synth patch from a single oscillator
• Shape tone using VAST DSP architecture
• Create movement and depth with Kurzweil FX
• Use physical controllers to add expression and performance dynamics
• Push beyond traditional analog limitations while preserving classic character
The goal is simple: show just how much is possible with one waveform, thoughtful programming, and the immense flexibility of VAST.
Featuring Kurzweil Artist Kash Iyengar.

The Living Room - an idea/sketch Zoia, M8, Razzmatazz, NTS-3, MT-32 pi
video upload by Arman Bohn
"An 'in progress' sketch for an OST I'm working on.
My 2nd Zoia patch, 'Dream Shrine #2', is a four voice, generative synth thingy with master tempo and adjustable meter for each voice. The voices are routed through a reverb and ping-pong delay module. The four voices are also sending MIDI notes out on different channels - which are triggering 2 harp voices, a vibraphone and a celeste voice on the MT-32.
The Zoia patch is also sending clock sync out to the Razz to keep it in tempo. The M8 is playing back creepy public domain samples from an old-sci radio show about an alien that haunts your dreams called "The Green Thing".
NTS-3 is chopping the drums.
Not sure if this will be the final configuration - I'd like some bass in there as well. Just playing around at this point.
The album is an ambient-ish OST that should be out by this summer!"

Vรฅld Labs Tresse: a multiengine synthesizer based on Plaits, for desktop.
video upload by Vรฅld Labs
This one was sent my way via Meska who had the following to say: "It's 'basicaly' a standalone MI Plait with 3voice and extended oscilator models."
Video description follows:
"Tresse — 3-voice polyphonic desktop synth, 38 engines
Hey all,
Been working on this for a while and it's finally at a point where I want to share it.
*Tresse* is a standalone polyphonic synthesizer built around Mutable Instruments' Plaits DSP code, running on an ESP32-S3 with a custom PCB. Three voices of polyphony, 38 synthesis engines, USB, DIN/TRS and Bluetooth MIDI, and perhaps Ableton Link and our upcoming stack (VMB) Vรฅld Modular Bus, expected to ship this summer, and which will a new wireless comms protocol with negligible latency, auto discovery and machine mesh capabilities (to be released soon).
Also enough knobs and encoders to actually play the thing without menu-diving, and a battery for when you're bored outside of your studio.
*The core idea:* take the full Plaits engine library — all 24 algorithms — and make it polyphonic in a self-contained hardware instrument. Then keep going and add 14 more custom engines on top.
There are hundreds of options similar to this in modular systems and i thought why not bring all these god-level creative tools to bedroom, desktop producers who don't have the money or the space (or will) to mingle in the modular space, and bring them one contained box with all they need.
What's inside
*ESP32-S3* doing all the DSP across both cores (voices 0+1 on Core 1, voice 2 on Core 0, parallel render)
**PCM5102A DAC**, 24-bit output, 32kHz sample rate
*4 pots + 4 rotary encoders* through CD74HC4067 mux and MCP23017 I2C expander
*OLED display* (128×64) for patch info, engine select, preset browsing
*USB MIDI + BLE MIDI* — works with everything, no adapter needed for wireless
Custom PCB, all through-hole friendly
38 engines
The first 24 are straight from Plaits — East Coast, Phase Distortion, all three DX7 variants, Terrain, String/Chords, Chiptune, Wavetable, Speech, Swarm, Particle, the Rings modes, the three drum engines, etc.
Then 14 custom engines built from scratch:
*Karplus-Strong* — proper physical string modeling with excitation morphing (noise → impulse → tonal)
*ByteBeat* — 8 classic formulas with pitch-tracked rate, gets wild
*CZ Phase Distortion* — Casio CZ-style, three distortion shapes
*Supersaw* — up to 7 detuned saws with PWM, the obvious one but it needed to exist
*Formant* — vowel synthesis with 3 bandpass resonators, gender shift control
*2-Op FM* — clean FM with 13 ratios and operator feedback
*Wavefolder* — sine/tri/saw/square source into a proper folder with bias
*Noise Drums* — SVF-based with pitch envelope, covers kicks through metallic hits
*Modal Resonator* — 8 tuned bandpass partials, morphs from harmonic → bell → bar inharmonicity, with a bowed excitation mode
*Sympathetic Strings* — 3 coupled Karplus delay lines with controllable coupling and interval ratios
*Comb Resonator* — 4 parallel comb filters with spread control
*Drawbars* — organ-style additive with 8 Hammond-ratio partials
*Complex Oscillator* — FM into wavefolder, Buchla-adjacent territory
*Grain Noise* — granular noise with smoothing, good for textures and pads
Controls
Three parameter layers accessible via toggle buttons:
*Normal* — Timbre, Morph, Harmonics, Color on pots; Attack, Decay, FM, LFO Depth on encoders
*MOD* — Fold, Detune, Ring Mod, Chorus on pots; LFO destination/shape/speed/sync on encoders
*SHIFT* — Filter Cutoff/Reso/Env/Type on pots; Portamento, Octave, Vibrato depth/speed on encoders
Hold both buttons → engine select overlay. Double-tap MOD → system menu (randomizer, MIDI config, play mode). Double-tap SHIFT → preset browser across three banks (own patches, generated, branches).
Play modes: Poly, Mono, and chord modes (Major, Minor, 7th, Sus4, Power, Octave).
The randomizer is one of my favorite things — it generates random patches with procedural names (stuff like "Velvet Moth" or "Iron Shard"), you scroll through them with the encoder, and save the ones you like to a generated preset bank. 512 slots each for generated and branch presets, 128 for your own.
What it sounds like
Honestly covers a lot of ground. The Plaits engines already span everything from classic analog to FM to physical modeling to noise, and the custom engines fill in some gaps I wanted — proper supersaw, real Karplus-Strong, the modal/sympathetic stuff for metallic and evolving tones, and the ByteBeat engine for when you want to go full chaos. The global FX chain (filter, wavefolder, ring mod, chorus) ties everything together.
The project should be available from April 2026, in kit or assembled units! Price to be discolsed once i have the final FINAL prototype, but shouldn't hurt the wallet.
This is a *Vรฅld Labs* project from Lisbon Portugal. Much more to come.
Would love to hear what people think, and happy to answer questions about the build or the DSP. Be aware that this is a pretty advenced prototype, but still a prototype"

Note they also have the Consequencer pictured left but no additional info aside from the following on it yet.
"A portable, desktop-first sequencer with modular DNA — built for the art of shaping chaos."
CubuSynth also has a Consequencer announced back in 2024, but they appear to be unrelated.

Scramble | From Random Patch to Heavy Electro-Rock – OP-XY Jam
video upload by Lo-fi Pask
"In this video, I explore the scramble function on the Teenage Engineering OP-XY to generate random sounds and turn them into a full alternative electro-rock track.
I’m not a sound design expert, but I’m fascinated by the process of discovering new textures through experimentation. Using the OP-XY’s synthesis engines, I started generating random patches and shaping them into something cohesive.
At one point, a powerful sound emerged — the opening tone of the track — and everything else grew from there.
This piece moves into alternative electro-rock territory, blending:
Heavy electronic beats
Distorted bass lines
Aggressive synth textures
Raw, energetic sound design
Most of the sounds remain very close to their original scrambled versions. I only made subtle adjustments to fit the arrangement and dynamics.
This workflow felt spontaneous, unpredictable, and surprisingly personal, probably one of the most “mine” tracks I’ve made so far.
๐ฅ If you’re into dark/heavy electronic music, synth textures and Teenage Engineering gears, this track is for you. ๐ฅ
Hope you enjoy it!
๐ง For the full immersive experience — subtle textures, evolving pads, spatial details, and low-end nuances — listening with headphones is highly recommended.

Novation Summit Binaural Patch Demos (Hard-Panned Bitimbral) | Dry vs FX | Headphones
video upload by copenhagennoiselab
"Follow-up to yesterday’s binaural Summit deep dive. No talking, no tutorial, just patches.
This is 9:50 of binaural-style patches on the Novation Summit, built using bitimbral mode with the two parts hard panned left and right. Each patch is demoed twice: dry first, then with Summit’s internal FX.
Why Summit works well for this: the digital NCOs can be kept phase-stable and pitch-stable, so you can control the exact differences between the left and right layers without slow drift turning the whole thing into randomness.
Headphones strongly recommended. The stereo perception is the whole point.
What you’ll hear
Binaural patches designed around controlled L/R differences
Each patch: no FX → FX
No narration, clean demos, consistent comparisons"

Binaural Synthesis on Novation Summit: Bitimbral Hard-Pan Patches + Build From Scratch
video upload by copenhagennoiselab
"This video is an experiment in binaural-style synthesis on the Novation Summit, using bitimbral mode with each part hard panned left and right.
I start by demoing a handful of binaural patches, then do a real-time build in the middle where I patch a binaural setup from scratch, explaining the decisions as I go. It ends with more patch demos once the core idea is in place.
The trigger for this was the ongoing discussion around the UDO range and how it approaches binaural by design. I realized you can push a similar concept much further on other synths if you’re willing to build it deliberately.
Why the Summit for this? The digital NCOs can be set up so both layers stay phase-aligned and pitch-stable, which makes it possible to control every intentional difference between left and right without the whole thing drifting into 'close enough.'
Headphones recommended. The effect is the point."

Eventide recently came out with a surprise update, adding a completely new (and FREE, wow!) granular engine to the H90. For this video, I loaded two instances in parallel, one running the Cosmic Web algorithm (and as soon as you hear the video, you'll immediately understand why it's called that), and the other running Glitch, for those sparkly textures you hear here and there.
«but Dexba, you didn't even patch the Make Noise 0-Coast», yeah, exactly, because in this video the instrument is the Eventide H90, and I wanted the simplest (but best sounding) source I could use.
Plus, you get to experience a slow 0-Coast for once, since most of the other videos are focused on its plucking capabilities ;)
I hope you'll like it! ๐งก"

Kilohearts Phase Plant Dark Rhythmic Presets Sound Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
๐ฎ Kilohearts Phase Plant – Wind Cipher is a collection of 50 rhythmic presets built around dark, noisy atmospheres and dirty textures.
The rhythm-focused sounds range from intricate, complex sequences to straightforward dance patterns. Each sound carries a distinct mood—some dense and layered, others sparse and breathing.
๐ป This bank leans heavily into distortion, saturation, noise, and texture. The dirt isn’t a byproduct — it’s the point.
