NINA Patterns by Protovolt: Analog Motorized Poly Synth by Melbourne Instruments
video upload by Melbourne Instruments
"Synth lord Protovolt has created a bank of patterns for NINA's Multi-Track Sequencer. Protovolt's Pattern Bank will take you to a cyborg sci-fi thriller in which you are evading a deranged robot, drawing inspiration from the great exploitation movies of the 1980s. With a contemporary twist, each of these patterns has all the sound characteristics of vintage analog synths. Set your coordinates to the future, grab your protective gear and motorcycle helmet, and get ready for a wild ride! All sounds and patterns in this video were created solely using NINA.

Patchwerks Closes Shop
Some unfortunate news in via Patchwerks:
"Patchwerks has closed.
It has been an incredible ride. We created Patchwerks to make a 'third place' away from home and the office that was a safe space for people who wanted to explore making sounds and music with synthesizers.
We started with our meetups in 2016 and grew from there to a little shack off Eastlake Avenue. Then, we outgrew that space and had a shot at a large, beautiful showroom. It was a risk, but we took it. There we had an amazing time building out the store, investing in the community, hosting shows, and more.
We encountered plenty of difficulties in the last few years, and unfortunately now is the time to close the book on our journey.
Having said that, it has been an honor to share our love of synthesizers, music, noise, and community with you all. Keep exploring and keep making sounds. We wish everyone well for what's next."
You can find a ton of content featuring Patchwerks here on MATRIXSYNTH that will live on in the archives. We are going to miss them, and we hope to see them again in the future.

An industrial drumkit for the Modor DR-2 (no external FX, no talk)
video upload by Richard DeHove
"The original concept for the DR-2 saw it as an enhanced 909. That's pretty much irrelevant now as the DR-2 has been developed into something far deeper. Yet you can still see traces of its origins in the step entry and many of the core sounds. Personally I'm not a fan of the 909 mainly because it keeps you penned into a defined territory of sound where weirdness is not allowed. I like odd sounds in my drum machines.
I think the great balancing act with drum machines is between providing immediate excellent drum sounds, and providing enough tweakable range to allow genuine sound design and experimentation. At one end you have untweakable machines like the 606; at the other extreme are samplers where the range becomes so vast you can get distracted by endless sample banks. One solution is to have both, but that leads to different problems where you have too many one-trick machines.
Where does the DR-2 sit? You can certainly feel it's 909 roots in that those sorts of kits and sounds fall out of the machine with almost no effort. You can hear that sound in many DR-2 demos: tight bass drums with rimshots, hats and snappy snares. But the parameters are wide enough, and the available drum models weird enough, that you can get away from that quite easily.
That was the aim here: Can the DR-2 move into a more industrial sound without any external processing? It's easy enough to dirty things up with fuzz and EQ, but what about the raw sound?
In the two demo tracks I use a single set of drum models (from left to right): Tom, Ride cymbal, Noise bassdrum, Claps, Claps, and Rumble bassdrum. Each pattern has a slightly tweaked version of those same drum models saved as a kit. I've used the internal tilt filter, parametric EQ and distortion. I'm not game to use the compressors yet - I still need to learn how to tame them.
On the first track I start with just two sounds and am using a polyrhythmic clock in 8/12 time on channel 3. It gives an unsettling feel and constant variation to what is otherwise a simple 16-step pattern.
Of course there's no processing or effects other than what you see. It's pure DR-2. Even the volume between patterns is unaltered.
(And as per the thumbnail image: The DR-2 needs an all-black version).

"A Boyz Noize fav- it was the kick drum in his classic 'what you want' track.
Great working condition and I’m calling it an official “Very Good“ on cosmetics even though very little wear an tear going on from over the years in private clean smokeless studio.
*3 analogue instruments (kick, snare, tom)
*2 sample-based instruments (cymbal, hi-hat)
*stepsequencer with up to 32 steps per pattern
*26 sound-edit functions (attack, decay, pitch etc.)
*programmable tom tuning (lo, mid, hi)
*90 pattern, 90 songs, 90 kits
bring fresh sounds to your beats with the mfb-503! the third drum-computer in mfb�s 50x series introduces a more powerful sound and a new operational concept. due to their analogue origin, kick, snare and toms can be edited in various ways. the drumkit is completed by the two sampled instruments cymbals (crash, ride available) and hi-hats (two variations). in addition, the samples of each group can be continuously mixed to create further sound variations. sounds can be saved individually as well as complete drumkits. the instruments are triggered by an internal step-sequencer. this tr-style sequencer uses the beloved led-per-step method to set the selected instruments. there are 90 memory locations for patterns that can be further combined into 90 songs. instruments are edited by four master rotary-encoders with corresponding displays.
available functions are:
bassdrum: tune, attack, pitch, decay, drive, level
snaredrum: tune, noise, decay, level
tom: tune, pitch, decay, level. three possible tom tracks (lo, mid, hi)
cymbal: mix (cymbal 1 and cymbal 2), decay, level, tune (cy + hh).
open and closed hi-hat: mix (hi-hat 1 und 2), decay oh, decay hh, level
all instruments are send to the main output (6,3 mm trs stereo). when using kick or snare individual outs, the associated instruments are subtracted from the main output. sounds can be dynamically triggered via midi in from keyboards or external sequencers. the step-sequencer can be synchronized to midi clock.
dimensions: 175 x 125 x 38/72 mm. the mfb-503 ships with a 12v power-supply."

Cactus Desert Drums Vintage Digital/Analog Drum Synthesizer
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
You can find demos in previous posts here.
"Excellent condition and amazing example of a very rare drum synth from the early 80s. Even if you can find one, they aren't all created equal as they were customizable with a potential for 10 independent drum tone generators, some digital, and some analog.
This one has 9/10 possible modules and includes:
Bass Kick
Snare
Toms (3)
Crash
Ride
HHat
Synth (tone generator)
I control this with an Arturia Beat Step and it works super well. There are tons of knobs for tweaking filters, noise, pitch, decays, and more. It's a rare beast and makes super fat and unique sounds.
Only note:
The hhat track produce a very faint high pitch tone that seems to be associated with the pitch control knobs, so when using those tracks I've had to apply a little noise reduction (brusfri gets rid of it nice and easy). I'm sure this is fixable/serviceable, but I haven't had the need to do it. For all I know, they all do this!
Nice cosmetic condition. Minor scratching on the wood panels and minor imperfections commensurate with age."

Mega Metallic Eurorack Percussion (& beyond!!) // Entity Metalloid from Steady State Fate
video upload by DivKid
"Here we have the newest Eurorack module in the Entity range from Steady State Fate … METALLOID PERCUSSION. This is a simple set of controls for what is under the hood and much more complex circuit for synthesising metallic and noise based percussion. There’s 3 analogue oscillators which get ring modulated alongside having an FM bus for the most metally (move over Metallica) of metal noise sounds! This metallic noise synthesis is then split into two voices with multimode filters, VCAs and envelopes to control and create a huge range of percussion sounds. The trigger inputs are also dynamic, offering a velocity style (loud to quiet) dynamic and musical response to varying input material.
In the video I get snares, claps, rides, crashes, hi hats, gongs, video game coin collection sounds, Star Wars pod racers and plenty more! It’s not a clone of anything, nor is it meant to make one sound. But it’s easily bendable and shapeable to take the place of many classic percussion sounds. Check out the sounds in the timing index below and skip around as you like."

Patching a basic kit from scratch on the LXR-02
video upload by Richard DeHove
"This isn't a dazzleman superkit showcase video. It's a reality ride-along as I put together a pretty standard kit discussing the various parameters, choices and interactions as we go. It's a moderately long video but then there's a lot to cover and I wanted this to be a real walkthrough of the process. Even so I didn't cover lots of interesting things like LFO sidechaining, panning, effects and velocity - that's for next time.
I put a limiter on the final output to catch a couple of spikes but otherwise there is no other processing than what you see. If listening on headphones you may notice a little noise when the mic is active. There was a lot of ambient noise outside with traffic, birds and power tools - and of course the LXR's buttons are very clicky. With those disclaimers aside I hope you find the process and explanations useful.

MUSICGEN AI Generated Electronic Music
Two MUSICGEN AI generated releases in via Liquid Sky Berlin.
First up:
AI sessions #01 - brainFKK noise - entirely created by AI by Gehirn Bernstein featuring MusicGen & Dr Walker
"all sounds you hear were generated with and by MUSICGEN
an AI freeware
arranged and mixed in ableton live
100% of the income of this release - well.... its not a "real" release - more a kind of test what is possible - goes into the Liquid Sky reforestation project.
so lets go & plant some trees!"
2nd:
#AI techno #01 - created with artificial intelligence by djungle fAIver
"Fresh from the digital womb of MUSICGEN, an AI that spins "text-to-music", comes this experimental release.
We kicked off with our hopes tuned to minimal, questioning if this machine intelligence could vibe with our underground ethos.
But, damn, the bot surprised us, spitting out raw, pulsating bad ass underground beats that made our speakers throb and clip.
On track 02 & 05 we cheated :
on track 02 we added a drumloop in the background as the AI generated loops didn t have much high freqs.
On track 05 we sprinkled in a touch of 303, just to spice up the synthetic stew. The rest, though? 100% AI machine-crafted. Pure digital grungey dirty noisey artificial intelligence techno, birthed from MUSICGEN's binary brain.
We were only using Ableton for arrangements and mixdown and some FX like eqs and compressors.
Sure, the AI's BY FAR not perfect - but the ride's only just begun.
We did not correct rendering errors from the AI.
Some of the generated loops are really WAY out of timing.
100% of the income from this release goes into the Liquid Sky reforestation.

Playing the Waldorf Q - Carlo Mezzanotte
video upload by carlomezz
"I have owned the Waldorf Q for a while, but only in recent times I have had the opportunity to really sink my teeth into its very powerful synthesis architecture.
The first batch of patches that I have programmed includes several well-known synth timbres, plus a few more adventurous sounds. I find this an excellent approach to familiarize with an instrument. I didn't try to directly imitate the warmth of analog vintage synths; the Q has a strong personality in itself, and a big, aggressive basic sound. All the mod routings allow for very complex timbres of a special kind, cold and precise, but also full and satisfying.
What you hear in this video is all single patches, no multis. Only the internal effects were used, with no external processing except a little bit of eq."
Playing the Waldorf Q - Carlo Mezzanotte (Part 2)
"Here's the second part of my Waldorf Q programming adventures, where I try my hands at more complex sounds, plus a short multitracked improvisation at the end. With FM, ring mod, wavetables, oscillator sync, four multi-stage envelopes, comb filters, and plenty of modulation options - there's a lot of ground to explore. In particular, I like to ride the fine line between tonal and non-tonal timbres, where the sidebands build up in a dynamic way, creating groups of partials which can grow until they 'almost' become noise, but always keeping the original root clear. (well - almost always. : - ) ) Very often, I have programmed aftertouch and the mod wheel to change important details of the harmonic spectrum.
For some reason, several of these sounds ended up with a strong ambient/hypnotic connotation... I guess it's just an inclination that I have. : - )
Again, what you hear in this video is all single patches, no multis. And again, only the internal effects were used, with no external processing except a little bit of eq.
At 15:52, I did a brief improvisation using some of these sounds, plus a couple from Part 1. I used 4 stereo tracks, without adding any external effects.
I had some fun with video editing, but I'm a total amateur at that.... the moral: better to focus on the sounds! : - )"

Three Generative Sequencers - And one that isn't
video upload by John Schussler
"I have a few generative sequencers I've not had time to play with, and figured I'd compare how they...play. Three are generative in one form or another, and one, the Berlin School, is not. I leave you to suffer with that incongruity in silence.
This is my first exploration with each of them, so I'm just getting a feel for how they work. You're along for the ride, but don't expect too much.
VCO is Acid Rain Chainsaw. LPG is Rabid Elephant Natural Gate. No envelope. Delay here and there is Make Noise Mimeophon. Quantizer is 2hp Tune.

GSi Drum-80 - 80s Drum Emulator
video upload by Genuine Soundware
"GSi Drum-80 is the new plugin from GSi that recreates the typical drum setup of th eearly 80's where an electronic drum set was used along with acoustic cymbals."
https://www.genuinesoundware.com/


"We all know and use electronic drums today, but at the beginning of the 80's the first electronic drums were a real novelty that revolutionized not only the sound of music of those years, but also the workflow in the recording studio. Many producers preferred to record the sound of electronic drums rather than acoustic drums because it saved time and money, avoiding having to mount microphones, find the right positions, spend hours equalizing and correcting the recorded material. With an electronic drum set it was quicker: it was enough to connect the cables and maybe find the right sound for the song, which was a perfect scenario especially for many low-cost productions, for example those of pop music.
The first electronic drums were completely analog, they generated the sounds of the drums using only a few elements such as an oscillator and a white noise generator, plus a couple of envelopes and a filter. The sound wasn't exactly realistic but it was peculiar, and perfect for creating certain sounds never heard before.
The downside was that electronic drums could only generate the sound of drums but not cymbals. For this reason, the sound of real cymbals was recorded alongside the sound of electronic drums. This kind of setup was also used live quite often. It was common to see a drummer on stage playing the typical hexagonal pads but combined with a set of real cymbals.
GSi Drum-80 reproduces that exact scenario. It contains two separate sound engines that can play at the same time. One engine recreates the sounds of the famous electronic drum module known as the Simmons SDS-V (very similar to the later SDS-8 model); at the same time, the exclusive GSi WLF Engine plays a multi-sample of real cymbals recorded exclusively for Drum-80.

ER-99 Online Web-Based Roland TR-909 Emulator by Extralife Instruments
video upload by Extralife
Update: video added above.
"Play the ER-99 free here! https://extralifeinstruments.com/er-99/
Celebrate electronic music history on 9/09 day with ER-99, a web-based instrument 🎛️ based on a famous Japanese drum machine from the 1980s. It was built to celebrate 9/09 day 2022 🎉!
All of the drums are synthesized using the WebAudio API. The hi-hats, crash, and ride cymbals are produced from sampled audio.
The complete source code is available on Github: https://github.com/matthewcieplak/er-99"
Original post:
This one is in via Extralife, maker of the Super Sixteen DIY Eurorack Sequencer, featured in additional posts here.
"This year, to celebrate 9/09 day, I've built a free, open-source analog drum synth you can play in your web browser. It's called ER-99, and you can play it here (works best on desktop devices!)
You can program patches and sequences on the web interface and save them as presets using the menu below the sequencer. (I have also added MIDI input for sync with external sequences).
You can also read the complete source code on Github. It's surprising how simple many of these sounds are to make!
The original Japanese drum machine that inspired this project is an analog sound design masterpiece, and you can read circuit analysis about its clever use of noise and bandpass filters over on Network 909. I've tried to use the same techniques in the digital domain but I'm sure I can tweak them to get even closer sounding: http://www.network-909.de/circuit.htm"

Dead Kennedys Police Truck cover on two DB-01 synths
video upload by Richard DeHove
"Was enjoying some Dead Kennedys nostalgia listening when I thought 'I wonder if I could get the DB-01 to chug like that?'. After some extended noodling I decided to add some bass as well. Three patterns was just enough to muddle through the guts of the song.
So here's the result: two DB-01s playing Police Truck. It's not a 1:1 copy of the structure so you can't quite song along but I think the spirit is there.
I thought about adding drums and extra distortion but in the end I decided to leave it "pure" with just the DB-01s and exactly the effects you see. In fact the right-hand DB-01 doesn't even use the SpaceTime, just the EQ. Regular pitch-mod accents on the bass DB-01 give a hint of drums. The left-hand DB-01 is all played live (although I had to cheat slightly and chop up two takes) and goes through the EQ, B3K and DIG delay. Absolutely no further processing of any kind other than what you see - consequently it's all a bit raw and there's quite a bit of noise from the B3K, but this is an old punk classic after all. Let's Ride!

Late Night Eurorack Patching and Jamming! (No Talking)
video upload by Electronisounds Audio
"Just Patching for fun. No Talking.
Thanks for listening! :) :)
#eurorack #livejam #prizmprime
Patch Notes:
Drums: Samples from Tip Top Audio "One" modules and "Prok" 12bit FM drum modules.
The Erica Synths "Black Sequencer" allows me to create RANDOM melodies in real-time and save them to new pattern slots, so I can create new basslines LIVE and then go back and forth between them.
The bass voice: Mazzatron VCDCO / WMD Javelin Envelope / WMD Carbon Filter.
The MAIN filtered chord stab/sequence is a chord coming from Mutable Instruments Braids, running through the Patching Panda Moon Phase Filter and then into the Erica Synths Acid Box III desktop filter, then into the Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio Reverb!
The Second Chord Stab is coming from the Qubit "Chords" module.
The ever-changing-magic-ride-cymbals are my own custom ride samples, loaded into a Tip Top audio "One" sample module - I can easily roll the pitch, and change ride samples in the fly with knobs.
After about 45minutes, I'm all warmed up and jamming my ass off! WOOT!!
This session was a blast!
I think this is the best I have ever done when starting from almost nothing and just GOING FOR IT!
I'm really learning how to work my system a lot better after watching TROVARSI last weekend!
0:00 Getting started and patching up
15:22 Starting to JAM with the session (still patching...)
37:06 Jamming, Dean-Style!"

TOP 10 Iconic Synth Sounds (that ruled the world)
video upload by Espen Kraft
"In this video I present a list of my top 10 iconic synth sounds. Sounds that ruled the world in terms of chart hits. Sounds are coming from synths as Yamaha DX7, Roland Jupiter-8 and Juno-106, some sampler sounds from the Fairlight and Emulator 2 and Korg M1, D-50 and many more.
In the case of the 'synth brass', lots of other analog synths were used for different songs and hits, like the Oberheim OB-Xa, Elka Synthex, Prophet 5 and more. The same for the 'sync' sound.

External reverb, delay and chorus were used on some of the sounds. All sounds has been mixed and processed in various way to sound good. All the sounds are coming from the gear you see in the video. No softs or VST synths were used.
Two added bonus famous sounds in the video, one in the very beginning and one at the end. First is a variation of the infamous "Orch5" sample from the Fairlight, while the other is from the D-50.
