UDO DMNO: Classic Oberheim SEM-Style Patches — Full Patch Bank Demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Chasing vintage Oberheim tone on a modern synth — this time I've built a whole patch bank around it.

In my original UDO Domino demo I showed how it's so much more than a modern take on the Oberheim 2-Voice SEM: multiple mod sources running simultaneously, deep filter routing options, and full digital waveforms on top. But because it looks like a SEM, I couldn't resist trying to make it sound like one too.

In this demo I play through a patch bank of SEM and Oberheim-style patches — feeding Domino 1 into Domino 2, alternating and detuning the two voices to fake that 2-Voice-to-8-Voice spread, using voice variation and drift for size, splitting the keyboard, and (just to push it) running the envelope and LFO on the filter at the same time. I stripped most patches back to only what an original SEM could actually do, chasing that thick, thunderous, vintage TVS-style tone — the kind of sound you'd expect from something like a Sequential Pro-TVS or an Oberheim Eight Voice — on modern, affordable gear.

The result: Bank A2–H2, 64 patches, all built to capture that classic Oberheim character without ever pretending to be a clone.

"I purchased it brand new in 1981. It is my baby…

In 1984, I had it modified by Boston tech Ron Rivera. Updates included a fourth LFO, individual sync switches for oscs 2 and 3, military Vernier tuning knobs add tuning stability and are 40:1 in Normal mode and 1:1 when pushed, and (the best one) the ability to individually switch the filter envelope to control pitch, filter or both on oscs 2 and 3.

In 1987, while working at Kurzweil in Waltham MA with Bob Moog, I talked him into autographing it for me.

In the mid-90s, synth tech extraordinaire Kevin Lightner (RIP) cleaned it up and put a green light on the main power switch.

In 2020, the amazing Ken Rich totally cleaned it up inside and out.

This instrument comes with a ATA flight case, and I will also include a Kenton Pro Solo Mk II CV to MIDI converter."

Sculpting the Duos // Live Soundscapes with Torso S-4

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"A raw, live-recorded ambient improvisation using the Hikari Duos synthesizer routed through the Torso Electronics S-4 sculpting sampler for real-time processing and sound design.

This performance was captured entirely live in a single take, presented without any edits or arrangements after the fact. The master audio was lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools for clarity and depth.

Signal Flow & Routing:
• Source: Each of the two unique oscillators from the Hikari Duos is sent to its own dedicated channel on the Torso S-4 (Track 1 and Track 2).
• Processing: Both input tracks are actively sculpted live on the S-4 and routed through an Aux Send on Track 4 for shared spatial effects and texture generation.

If you enjoy live electronic music, generative soundscapes, and hardware jams, consider subscribing for more process-driven sessions.

Torso S-4 POLY Engine: Turning Samples Into Synths (Torso Explorations Vol. 34)

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"In Volume 34 of my Torso Explorations series, we are diving deep into the POLY engine on the Torso Electronics S-4 sculpting sampler. While the S-4 is an incredible texture and ambient machine, the POLY engine transforms it into an expressive, 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer by arranging samples chromatically across the keys.

I walk you through how to configure and play the POLY engine using two external MIDI controllers: the Keith McMillen QuNexus keyboard for manual playing, and the Korg SQ-1 for sequencing.

The POLY engine gives you per-voice control over amplitude and filter envelopes, allowing you to sculpt raw samples into beautifully playable synth patches.

--

🎵 What's inside this video:

• Track 1: Demonstrating the core mechanics and envelope shaping of the POLY engine using a built-in stock sample.

• Track 2: A quick, live workflow showing how to sample an external acoustic instrument (my mandolin) using the S-4’s internal microphone and instantly flip it into a polyphonic synth patch.

This entire performance was recorded live in one take, with light mixing and mastering finished in Pro Tools. The video is fully annotated throughout so you can easily follow the exact parameters and routing I'm altering in real-time.

If you enjoy these deep dives into the S-4, please consider liking the video, subscribing to the channel, and leaving a comment with how you’re using your S-4!

All Peak Patches in this video were created from scratch. All Peak tracks were recorded through RME audio interfaces (Babyface Pro and Fireface UC) directly into Cubase stereo tracks. There are absolutely no effects on the individual Peak stereo tracks, not even panning, and levels are set to unity gain, to give an as-clear-as-possible impression of the Peak’s sonic potential and limits. On most parts (except intro), there is brickwall limiting on the stereo master, and on most multitrack parts also additional compression and EQ on the stereo master. Guitar parts recorded D.I. into the Fireface UC with a 1973 Stratocaster, several track and send FX on those.

Ambient From Scratch: Stock Samples & Live Recording | Torso S-4 Explorations Vol. 32

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Welcome to Volume 32 of Torso S-4 Explorations. In this live-recorded session, I build an immersive ambient soundscape completely from scratch using only the Torso S-4.

This exploration relies entirely on internal S-4 factory samples combined with a short, live vocal phrase captured directly through the S-4’s built-in microphone. The video is structured to take you step-by-step through the creation and processing of each of the four tracks, with detailed on-screen annotations highlighting the specific techniques and effects used to build the tracks.

In the final section of the video, we transition from building to playing—exploring the expressive, generative possibilities of the completed texture.

The performance was captured live, and is presented here with minor edits to tighten the flow and remove redundancies. As a last step, the live recording was lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools."

B67 ZEN-FM Synthesis - Editor-Librarian 2.0

video uploads by Benedetto Schiavone

Follow-up to New 3rd Party Hidden Sysex Based ZEN-Core Editor-librarian for MC-101 and MC-707

Playlist:

1. B67 ZEN-FM Synthesis - Editor-Librarian 2.0 - ZEN-Core Tone collection 3 (2026)
2. Benis67 - ZEN-Core Tone Collection 3 (2026) - Demo Sounds
3. B67 ZEN-Core editor librarian V.2 - Video manual



Press release follows:

"B67 ZEN FM" synthesis engine (4 operators with linear FM + 4 wave shapes) for all Roland instruments that support the ZEN-Core standard: new editor and sound collection.

The new ZEN-Core Editor Librarian V2.0 (PC and MAC) is now available for Roland synthesizers from the Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X/Xm.

Among many new features, it allows editing of a new synthesis engine, fully compatible with the ZEN-Core standard, which uses linear FM synthesis (4 operators) and 4 modulable operator waveshapes

The "B67 ZEN FM" synthesis engine is achieved through a special implementation of a ZEN-Core tone that allows access to only a limited number of synthesis parameters, leaving the others predefined and inaccessible (e.g., Structure 1-2/3-4 = XMOD2, Osc Type = VA).

Specifically, the modulation matrix is ​​"locked" with predefined Source and Destination parameters to ensure correct modulations that operate on the main FM synthesis parameters.

Real-time editing is performed on a new page containing all the synthesis parameters, the operator frequencies settable via the freq. ratio parameter (0.25, 0.5, 0.78, 1, 1.5, 1.57, 1.78, 2, 3, 3.5, 4.5, etc.), the waveforms (SIN, SIN2, TRI, TRI2, TRI3, SAW, SQR, RAMP, JUNO), the graphic display of the 8 envelopes (4 for FM and 4 for shapes), a dedicated librarian (2048 sounds), 20 tone presets, 8 ENV presets, a clipboard, and the ability to copy and paste synthesis parameters.

Each sound is associated with one of the 93 MFX multi-effects, which can be edited in the dedicated section.

By applying waveshaping to the 4 operators' waveforms (via the FAT and PW parameters) and modulating them with 4 dedicated ENVs, the synthesis engine can replicate the phase distortion (PD) synthesis famous in Casio CZ synths.

When using sine wave oscillators and modulating their PW with the dedicated ADSR ENVs, the overall synthesis structure becomes similar to that of an 8-operator FM algorithm, as shown in the image: 4 operators (1, 2, 3, and 4) can have their frequencies freely configured, while the other 4 modulate the corresponding carriers and modulators with a 1:1 ratio.

Polyphony is 22 voices for all synthesizers, pianos, keyboards, wind instruments, guitar synths, and virtual instruments compatible with the ZEN-Core standard. This is reduced to 11 voices for the MC-101, MC-707, and VERSELAB MV-1 grooveboxes.

Simplified graphical editing of all parameters, sound management via the librarian, and parameter recall for subsequent editing is only possible with the ZEN-Core Editor Librarian V2.0.


The new B67 ZEN-Core Collection 3 (197 ZEN-Core tones in total) is also available, including 112 tones created with the "B67 ZEN-FM" synthesis engine.

Thanks to full compatibility with the ZEN-Core standard, these sounds can be used on all compatible instruments and virtual instruments: Zenology Pro, Zenbeats (ZC-1), FP-E50, RD-88, RD-08, Juno-D, Juno-X, V-Stage, MC-101, MC-707, Verselab MV-1, GM-800, Aerophone AE-20 Pro AE-30, GO:KEYS 5, GO:KEYS 3.

Along with the collection, the sounds with the B67 ZEN-FM synthesis engine also come with a proprietary file format that can be edited and managed within the Editor/Librarian V2.0 section, available for Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X/Xm.

Among the various sounds in the collection, created with this synthesis, are emulations of some "classic" Yamaha DX7 sounds (Marimba, Vibe, Celesta, Bakket, Jazz Guitar, Tubular Bell, EPiano, Bowed Strings, Brass, Synth Bass, Metal, etc.) and original sounds that use FM and Wave Shape synthesis for new sounds with complex and evolving harmonic spectra.

The upgrade to version 2.0 of the ZEN-Core Editor Librarian for Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X is free (it can be found in the Gumroad repository or through the paywall of those who purchased it).

Collection 3 (197 ZEN-Core tones, including 112 created with the B67 ZEN-FM synthesis engine) is available individually, in the "best of" version, and bundled with other collections and editors.

"Behringer JT-2: My 2 Cents
With all the available 'heavily-inspired-but-not-clones' from Behringer, I’m starting to wonder when the company will introduce original synths again. Anyhow... This time, I’m taking a closer look at the Behringer JT-2, a paraphonic synth inspired by Roland’s Jupiter-8. It comes in similar colours but certainly doesn’t carry over the visual aesthetics of the '80s flagship synth. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as Behringer can keep costs down by using one chassis for a plethora of different models. At a budget-friendly price point, you get a lot of synth in a unit that doesn’t take up too much valuable studio real estate, either. But first things first...

Frippertronics on Stereo-oids // Synthux Spotykach review and demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The r3ta of loopers!! Synthux Academy Spotykach is the most unique looper I've ever played. Think two tape machines that can loop, overdub, cross-record from one to the other, slow down, speed up — all with three distinct modes: tape/real mode, a time-based slice mode, and granular mode. Add LFOs, envelopes, a trigger sequencer, an onboard clock, MIDI I/O and you've got a sonic playground that'll swallow hours without you noticing.

In this review and hands-on demo I cover everything: the three playback modes, granular cloud control, tape speed pitch-bending, slice quantisation, stereo routing modes, deck-to-deck recording, LFO shapes (sine, saw, square, sample & hold), the trigger sequencer, loading/saving samples via SD card, and syncing it all to an external clock with the Symmontronic Gnome 2. I'm also running it alongside the Synthux Pro X and a DAW running 808s at 130 BPM — so you can hear exactly how it sits in a full setup.

At $949 it's not cheap, but if you're into ambient, experimental, or textural music, it's hard to think of anything else that does this.

The Spotykach supports:
✔ Three modes — Real (tape), Slice, Granular (Drift)
✔ Dual independent decks (A & B) with cross-deck recording
✔ Onboard clock with tap tempo (internal / external / MIDI)
✔ Trigger sequencer per channel
✔ Two LFOs (sine, sawtooth, square, sample & hold)
✔ Envelopes per channel
✔ Delay & distortion/grit effects
✔ Pitch quantisation (semitones, fifths, octaves, 1–2 octaves)
✔ Three stereo routing modes including stereo randomisation
✔ SD card sample load/save (48kHz 32-bit float, 42 sec max)
✔ MIDI in/out, USB power, headphone out
✔ Voltage per octave (V/oct) input
✔ Pickup mode (no parameter jumps)
✔ Visual LED feedback for every parameter"
