Patch Memory Performance #3 | Modular synth terrace jam with 4MS SMR and R*S Triple Waveshaper

video upload by djr brunstein

"Patch Memory Performance.

A modular synthesiser performance recorded on my terrace in Porto, built around the 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator and the Serge Random Source Triple Waveshaper [with Play all Day's PlayFader].

This patch became something to play rather than explain, with dense cross modulation and unstable feedback paths.

Watch the companion video looking at the underlying patch structure here:"

Patch Memory #3 | Chaotic cross modulation with 4MS SMR and R*S Triple Waveshaper

video upload by djr brunstein

"Another patch exploration video, this time focusing on chaotic cross modulation between the 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator and the Serge Random Source Triple Waveshaper.

This is a short overview of the patch logic rather than a full performance or a repeatable recipe. The sounds are unstable by design and difficult to reproduce exactly.

Performance audio available on Bandcamp, alongside an additional piece here:

Ample can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be

We have given this synth a large and diverse number of controls, that along side the patch sockets, will give even the best and experienced synthesist endless possibilities.

We have presented the controls in a user friendly and familiar synth layout that, together with this manual and other resources, enable even the new guy to get great sounds.

SYNTH – PERCUSSION – AUDIO PROCESSOR

Ample is a compact analogue synthesizer. Analogue - as in really analogue. Aside from the MIDI chip (which has to be digital), everything else is totally analogue using real transistors and op-amps. There are no CPU stabilised and quantised circuits, no DCOs, no digital LFOs and no digital EGs, as found on other so called analogue synths. The circuitry is based on designs dating back to the mid-1970s. So Ample has a genuine old sound.

via this Vemia listing

Click the auction link on top when you get there for additional listings.

"Here's the original orange AXXE from my ARP collection — now enhanced with powerful and unique upgrades that set it apart from the rest, tailored by synth guru and ARP specialist Saint Eric. The keybed has been equipped with aftertouch - stepping into a Pro Soloist's territory! - easily one of the most expressive we've experienced on many synths we've had in our hands. It's really a joy to play: internally routed to the VCA and/or VCF, the AT pressure mechanism can be tastefully dialled using three front panel controls and has its own CV output too, for further control of external synths and modern-day modulars. This unit has a really characterful VCF which received the 4075 Timothy Smith filter upgrade. In addition to the external audio input for routing outboard signals to the VCF, on the rear panel you'll find a CV mix output which sums the keyboard, the sensitive PPC pads, the portamento and octave switches for controlling outboard synths. And you have a special variable CV output with two dedicated attenuators to adjust the scaling response, all controllable from the main panel, turning this synth into a powerful and unique analogue keyboard/CV controller. There is also a separate LFO CV output, very useful as the synth is modded to use the internal LFO and Sample & Hold in free-run mode just using a selectable switch. More useful and common modifications to this synth apart from the upgraded VCA and clean-audiopath improvements, are three different ADSR response modes: Fast, Normal & Slow via a three-position switch, A rich, powerful and extremely versatile analog. Cosmetics are just outstanding. Really impressive when you have it in front of you! It’s like travelling back through time: see the pics - notice on the left of the keyboard the nice touch that the original ARP badge imparts. It’s hard to let it go, but I know it deserves a new home in good hands. As a bonus, an ARP 70's logo T-shirt is also included on this listing. You'll provide the IEC power plug. [ If you’re purchasing from outside the EU, please be ready to provide any details that might be needed — thanks for understanding! ] Will be packed thoughtfully."

PlayFader PlayMates - TD-3-MO (Massive Attack - Teardrop & a 303)

video upload by Play All Day

"A one-take jam using a TD-3-MO (a supercharged TB-303) to play along to Massive Attack's Teardrop. Dedicated to the brave people of the Global Sumud Flotilla 2025 ✌️🇵🇸

I wanted to show how expressively you can play a 303 with PlayFader. And I feel like I've just unlocked a secret door... I can't even image how I'd sequence this using a xox sequencer, let alone inside a DAW.

BUT, although I didn't in this case, you can always record the MIDI output of PlayFader into your DAW so you can go back and edit, tweak and fine tune... if that's your kind of workflow.

Not mine, sorry. I just want to play music, that's why PlayFader exists.

No Fun FX used btw, not even transpose, I'm simply just playing, recording, improvising and overdubbing live. Jumping between the dual buffers in each channel, while also switching performance quantisation modes to mix between Auto (ratchets) and Single (which is basically... no ratchets : ] ) to create more variety and dynamics.

Channel A of PlayFader controls pitch and gate CV.
Channel B controls Slide and Filter Cutoff CV at the same time. While the gate out is engaging the Accent.
I chose the Behringer TD-3-MO precisely because of its numerous CV inputs, but you can absolutely do this over MIDI on any other 303, or in your DAW using a 303 VST. More to come with this combo for sure...

I hope you try this and enjoy it as much as I did.

Less work.
More flow.

Sequential Introduces Fourm: A Four-Voice Analog Synth with Polyphonic Aftertouch

A New Fourm of Expression

San Francisco, CA — September 23, 2025 — Sequential has announced the release of its most affordable, synthesizer to date. Fourm is a compact, 100% analog instrument that redefines expressive electronic performance. With its warm, organic tone, hands-on modulation routing, and a uniquely responsive polyphonic aftertouch keyboard, Fourm is ready to bring your musical ideas to life.

At its core, Fourm delivers four analog voices of genuine Sequential sound, derived from the legendary Prophet-5 — complete with dual oscillators, a classic 4-pole lowpass filter, and envelope curves modeled after the 1978 original. The result is unmistakable Sequential warmth and punch, now with overdriven feedback for a performance-ready edge.

For the first time in 40 years, Sequential has returned to polyphonic aftertouch. The team developed the new Tactive™ slim-keys poly AT keybed to work in concert with Fourm’s analog synthesis engine. Every element was co-designed and precisely calibrated to unlock new levels of expression, enabling a deeper connection to our signature sound that no off-the-shelf keybed could deliver. The result is a more expressive bond between player and instrument, energizing new modes of creativity.

“Wowww holy smokes: this thing sounds and feels amazing,” said Bryn Bliska, (keyboards for Chappell Roan, Maggie Rogers, Jacob Collier). “The polyphonic aftertouch is seriously so fun… Sequential nailed it.”

“We’re so excited to bring this innovative all-analog keyboard into the world,” said David Gibbons, Sequential CEO. “At a price-point that most people expect to pay for a monophonic synth, we think this product will invite legions of musicians who have longed for the magic of polyphonic analog sounds to start their journey of discovery with Sequential.”

Notably inspired by the Pro~One, Fourm’s top-panel modulation matrix puts deep sound design at your fingertips—no menu diving required. Modulation sources and destinations are clearly labeled, connections are made with a button press, and color-coded indicators make even complex routings easy to manage.

With its compact footprint, professional-grade build, and a sound engine rooted in Sequential’s most iconic instruments, Fourm is a powerful new voice in analog synthesis.

About Sequential
Sequential has been at the forefront of synthesizer innovation since 1974, creating instruments that inspire musicians and shape the sound of modern music. With a legacy built on the iconic Prophet synthesizers, Sequential continues to push the boundaries of sound design with cutting-edge technology and exceptional craftsmanship.

Additional Nightlife Electronics Listings

"The Roland SH-5 is possibly the most feature rich vintage mono synth ever made by the legendary Japanese company. With 2 LFO's, 2 VCO's, 1 variable state VCF, 1 bandpass filter, 2 Envelopes, 1 VCA, S&H, Ring Mod and a simple but powerful switch matrix for routing modulation this synth is more than capable of making some of the most incredible tones and textures you can imagine!

Made in the late 1970's 'green face' Roland era, when their synths had a certain magic sound that is hard to describe. Fizzling and alive with electricity!

A handful of patch points on the back give you access to all the essential controls via CV so that this can play along nicely with a modern set-up.

This particular SH-5 has just been fully serviced in our Synthesizer Rejuvenation and Wellness Centre and comes with a 90 day warranty of good health. Original lid included."

PlayFader PlayMates - Elektron Syntakt ⚡️ fragments and moments of firmware testing

video upload by Play All Day

"I was using the @elektron Syntakt to test some firmware updates and it was too much fun not to share. This isn't a whole performance, just some selected clips from a longer 30 minute exploration.

Connected with just one MIDI TRS to 5-pin cable, I’m controlling tracks 2 & 5 with Channels A & B of PlayFader. Syntakt is only sequencing the drums, the rest is PlayFader… including the master clock, Syntakt is the slave 😏

I don’t think I’ve had as much fun with an Electron box before!

It’s endlessly creative and inspiring to actually play the Syntakt rather than just program a sequence and press start…

I’m not a Syntakt expert by any means though, and I’m not really that good at making techno either, but it when in Rome… had to be done.

One other cool aspect of this setup is that you can also record everything you’re doing on PlayFader into the Elecktron sequencer!!! 👊💥I don’t show it here but it is very simple, just press record and you’re capturing grooves on the fly, ready for editing, playing and even storing them into new patterns!

Love and Patches
Play All Day"

video upload by Play All Day

"PlayFader is made in Cyprus and I’ve just relocated back to Cyprus permanently after 30 years away. I really miss the place and I’m so happy to be home.

At the same time as arriving, the amazing @caroline_myvolts introduced me to Dim, head honcho at @synthesizergr and he wanted to stock PlayFader. This means so much to me, to have a Cypriot-made electronic music device being sold in Athens, Greece 🇨🇾❤️🇬🇷

So… PlayFader is now available in @synthesizergr

I wanted to do something special to celebrate this 🫠

I wanted to make a full length performance for Dim and celebrate the best of modern Greek dj’s and producers while showcasing PlayFader as the expressive and creative instrument that it is. Especially in one of my favourite contexts, as a live sequencer that you can use to perform while dj’ing. I’m after all more of a dj than a producer. And this is my happy place where I absolutely fucking love to use PlayFader 👊

Dim pointed me in the direction of @echonomist_music and I instantly found this track that I fell in love with. It’s about homecoming and joy… 💛

What you see in this video is only the 2nd take, totally improvising over the entirety of the track “Happiest of all memorial days”.

It would have been the 1st take but I forgot to plug the audio into the camera 😂

There are some slightly less perfect moments, but I was absolutely in my flow state and enjoyed every second of playing!
And that’s the point I wanted show. PlayFader is a live performance instrument and a wise genius synth-builder once said “instruments reward practice and perseverance”. (Vlad from Soma thank you 🙏)

Me and Jason designed PlayFader to give users lots of support and freedom - stay tightly locked into the groove and wander far away from it at any time, always with the option to come back to where you were.

There’s lots going on in this, too much to explain in detail here. It’s 7 minutes long and uses lots of features like the dual buffers, live switching, Latch play, Fun fx, ratchets etc etc.

Left channel is playing @rolandsynthandaira S-1. Right channel is playing the @intellijel Atlantix. I’m using @algoriddimofficial djay Linked to @ableton 💛

Enjoy ❤️"

The Crow Hill Company Introduces POCKET STRING no-barrier-to-entry-styled string library plug-in

video upload by CROW HILL XTRAS

Press release follows:

"The Crow Hill Company creates POCKET STRINGS as no-barrier-to-entry-styled string library plug-in produced without compromise… with added ‘synthy spice’

EDINBURGH, UK: having recently rebranded itself with an aesthetic that truly realises company co-founder and composer Christian Henson’s heartfelt dream of encouraging people to make music and help them on their journey, regardless of whatever point they were at and wherever their journey began, The Crow Hill Company continues its journeying into ‘Season Two’ as a producer of resources and tools to protect, inspire, support, and provide opportunities for music-makers the world over, believing that music is, and should remain, a wholly human experience, one that is by far one of the most powerful forms of expression, escape, comfort, and remembrance, of which its newly-created POCKET STRINGS — styled as a definitive string library plug-in that opens the doors to collaboration between anyone anywhere, creatively combining live cinematic orchestral recordings with some rarefied vintage synth classics made to measure for added body, depth, and character — readily represents the cornerstone of this ethos, as of July 10…

“A string library that’s accessible to all without compromise — a distillation of the last 25, nearly 30, years that I’ve been working as a media composer, which means that I write music for film, TV, and computer games, giving you the very basic necessities to write pro-end string arrangements. Whether that be adding to productions, songs, collaborating with others, or, indeed, creating professional film scores — whether that be to demo for an orchestra to play, or, indeed, to go to broadcast, there’s been no compromises here. But accessibility is the key — not just with the price point, but with usability.” So says Christian Henson himself, perfectly positioned — as The Crow Hill Company’s original founder, forging forward by building upon his extensive experience gained from founding Spitfire Audio to originally offer a palette of sounds he had created for his own use as a professional composer to his film world colleagues by invitation only, though the rest, as they say, is history — to proudly introduce POCKET STRINGS as a never-tried-before strings library plug-in that aims to bring broadcast-grade string possibilities to everyone.

Adamsynths Warthog Update & Q&A

via Adamsynths

"Earlier this year at Superbooth, Adamsynths unveiled the Warthog: our total recall analog modular synthesizer.

We had tons of interest and loads of great questions from you — and now we’d love to answer some of the most common ones right here.

Is the Warthog a pre-assembled desktop synth, or a fully modular one I can customize?

Great question! The Warthog is a true plug-and-play analog modular synth. You can choose the modules you want, arrange them how you like, and build a setup that suits your workflow perfectly.

Can I use modules from other manufacturers in the Warthog?

Absolutely. The Warthog case supports standard Eurorack power. Just keep in mind: the RECALL feature only works with official Warthog modules.

Can I put Warthog modules into my existing Eurorack case?

Yes, you can — BUT. Because of the RECALL feature, the Warthog uses a different power and communication system than the usual 16-pin ribbon cable found in most Eurorack setups. That said, we’ll make sure all Warthog modules (and any necessary accessories) are also available separately, without the case.

Can I use Warthog modules together with my current modular system?

Of course! The Warthog fully follows Eurorack standards for all signal connections. It uses the same V/OCT control, and its GATE, TRIG, SYNC inputs and outputs are 5V compatible. Just a reminder: RECALL functionality only works with Warthog modules.

Why are some outputs on the CENTRAL UNIT labeled “D” for digital?

We know this caused a bit of confusion at Superbooth 25. Here’s the deal: all CV outputs are fully analog and operate in ranges like -5V to +5V or 0V to +10V. The “D” outputs — short for “digital” — are used for GATE, TRIG, SYNC, START/STOP, or RESET signals. We call them digital simply because they have two states: ON or OFF, i.e., 0 or 1.

When will we get more detailed info about the Warthog’s specs?

We are working on it! The full technical documentation will be available on our website soon. We will notify you in a newsletter as soon as it is available.

And the big one — when can I pre-order the Warthog and how much will it cost?

Right now, our team is working hard to finalize pricing and prepare for production. There’s still some groundwork to cover, but we’re doing our best every day to get the Warthog into your hands as soon as possible. Hopefully, we’ll be able to share more very soon."

PlayFader PlayMates - Digitakt - Amen Jungle Breaks mash up Pt1

video upload by Play All Day

https://goplayallday.com/

"PlayFader might just be the best jungle breaks mash-up sequencer ever made!
It’s definitely starting to prove itself as powerful and expressive side-car sequencer to @weareelektron devices!

At least that’s what @djrbrunstein thinks and we’re inclined to agree 😎
He’s a wizard on the #digitakt and totally gets inside the machine with PlayFader, creating a fully expressive and powerful junglist-massive playground for live performance.

Now we can’t help but get excited about what this could do with other Elektron devices, especially an #octatrack!!! Any octatrack or Elektron users out there want to show us what they can do with a PlayFader? We’d love to hear from you ✌️

Patch notes:
Playfader controls the first channel of Digitakt in slice mode, with an amen loaded. Moving the fader enables us to play different slices of the break, and the second channel plays an 808 kick as a bassline, the fader controlling the pitch. A different bassline, and different break pattern are recorded into each buffer and we can switch between them. Finally, we mute the right channel and play a different sample on the digitakt to end.

The next video instalment of this series will show you what you can do in this scenario when you start using the FUN FX like Roll & Random! This is when things get really dynamic and powerful 🤘"
