Akai MidiMix Live Dub Session | Dub Siren, Delay Feedback & Noise | 13 Min

video upload by Illegal State Of Mind

"A 13-minute live dub mix of my track 'Preamp Heater', mixed by hand on an Akai MidiMix and my noise-making toys: three versions back to back, drifting from roots dub into self-oscillating delay, dub siren and noise.

It starts calm, with reverb and delay throws flying around the drums and bass. Step by step the delays start to self-oscillate, the siren comes in, tiny sample loops stutter at crazy speed, and it all builds into feedback, tension and pleasant chaos. In the final blast the delay feedback turns into helicopters and jets, before the tension finally breaks.

The parts were recorded earlier for the EP. What you see here is the mix, done live: fader rides, mutes, effect sends, plus extra sounds from the siren, the sampler and the synth.

Morphor Echon 6 BBD Poly Synth - SonicLAB

video upload by sonicstate

"Note: We have created a set of sampled in Decent Sampler for this - available on our / sonicstate and to 16-bit YouTube Members

@morphor.radical.acoustics‬ Morphor Echon 6 is a six-voice desktop analogue polyphonic, multitimbral BBD synthesizer. Each voice combines a basic analogue exciter with a tunable BBD resonator, giving Karplus-Strong-style pitched delay behaviour that follows incoming MIDI notes. It really got our interest at Superbooth this year, where it won best in show for its unusual synthesis method and sounds.

In this Sonic LAB, we spend time with its oscillator shapes, noise source, onset delay, resonator feedback and filtering. The instrument has six voice outputs, stereo outs, headphones, external input, MIDI in/out/thru, USB and power. There is no onboard display, though an editor exists for patch naming and sharing.

Modulation centres on an envelope, four LFOs, random generation, mod wheel, velocity, aftertouch and key follow. Lit buttons show modulatable destinations, and routings can be muted or cleared. Voice groups allow splits such as six monos, two groups of three or layered unison patches, with separate outputs available.

In practice, the Echon 6 sounds highly dynamic and can become level-heavy quickly.
We use external Ventris reverb at points, as there are no onboard effects.
Street price is around £1,979."

Stylophone OTF, CyDrums v2, CPM DS-2 and DF-8 Jam

video upload by ChrisLody

"Full Disclosure: I occasionally take on freelance work at Sonicware and Stylophone on an hourly rate producing synth & sample sound design, beta testing, checking English text, video manuals, promo content etc. This video wasn't paid for directly but as a result of my work with Sonicware and Stylophone it is marked as Paid Promotion

So there's been a couple of interesting things happen this week. The Stylophone On-The-Fly has launched and there's been an update to the Sonicware CyDrums. I worked behind the scenes on the OTF and on the original CyDrums firmware. I was just playing around with the CyDrums v2 update and it turned into this.

So the On-The-Fly was a very interesting product to work on. I probably shouldn't say exactly what I did or I might reveal something I'm not supposed to, but among other things my face is all over the official launch demos 😄 I've been looking forward to seeing the reception from other creators and it seems to have gone down well. Its very easy to get going on so is great for quick jams like this. Just dial in a few steps, then you can create variations, add complexity, create loops etc. Good stuff.

The CyDrums v2 beta firmware also became available this week which add the ability to sample into the device among other things with an extra synth 'structure' which can play two samples at once per track. Its used very sparingly here, I just sampled an 'ahh' into the built in mic to see if it could handle pitched and looped sounds which it manages very well. There's a special loop mode that plays from the start of the sample and then loops at the start and end points with cross-fade adjustable too, that's perfect for an 'ahh' sound 👌 The samples can be played using the legato and glide too so there'd quite a lot that can be done besides sampled drums."

ImpulseDie // SOMA Pulsar-23-inspired drum machine, desktop & iOS, Diego Capoccitti // Walkthrough
video upload by Gavinski’s Tutorials

"This is a walkthrough of the ImpulseDie plugin for iOS and desktop by Diego Capoccitti, a four-voice drum synth (kick, bass, snare, hi-hat) with a tape-style looper and a set of small utility modules that you connect with virtual cables. This is an unofficial emulation of the Soma Labs Pulsar-23 hardware. Soma Labs know about this release and have no issue with it, btw. This video explains most of ImpulseDie’s important controls, and will teach you how to use the app much faster than going through the manual will.

You can go very experimental here, but you can also make much more conventional drum grooves, and early in the video I demo both styles.

Note that although you can go very deep with your cable patching, you can also use ImpulseDie in a much simpler way, focusing on dialing in the sounds of the main voices and recording your drums manually, as in the hardware, or using the looper page of this app which even allows you to draw your hits in, something that is not possible with the hardware but which is very very useful indeed.

Talk Talk (1982) | Vintage Synthesizer Cover | Oberheim OB-Xa & Simmons SDS-8

video upload by RetroSound

"Talk Talk (1982) | Vintage Synthesizer Cover | Oberheim OB-Xa & Simmons SDS-8
A tribute to the unmistakable sound of the early 1980s!

This is my cover version of the song Talk Talk by Talk Talk, originally released in 1982 as a single from the band's debut album The Party's Over.

For this version, I wanted to capture the raw energy, distinctive synthesizer sounds and unmistakable electronic atmosphere of the original recording while staying true to the spirit of the early 80s.

To achieve an authentic vintage sound, I used original hardware synthesizers and drum machines, including:

🎹 Oberheim OB-Xa (1980) – One of the legendary analog polyphonic synthesizers of the early 80s, famous for its powerful oscillators, rich analog character and distinctive sound.

🥁 Simmons SDS-8 Electronic Drum System – The iconic hexagonal-pad electronic drum system, bringing that unmistakable early electronic drum character and punchy 80s percussion to the performance.

🎹 E-MU Emulator II for the Yamaha CP-80 piano sounds

No attempt was made to recreate the song using modern software alone. The focus was on the character, warmth and personality of real vintage analog and electronic instruments.

'Talk Talk' was written by Mark Hollis and Ed Hollis and produced by Colin Thurston. Released in 1982, it became one of the defining tracks of the band's early synth-pop and New Wave period. It appeared on their debut album The Party's Over.

The song combines driving rhythms, atmospheric keyboards and the distinctive vocal and musical attitude that made Talk Talk such a unique band in the British New Wave scene.

This version is my personal musical tribute to an unforgettable era of electronic music.

If you love 1980s music, vintage synthesizers, analog sounds, New Wave, Synth-Pop and classic electronic drums, I hope you enjoy this performance!"

Eight Is The New Six | Introducing Behringer POLYEIGHT

video upload by Behringer

Why limit yourself to six voices when you can have eight? Introducing our brand new Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer the Behringer Polyeight. An 8-Voice that sparkles with the sound of the 80s. Join Bartek as he jams through the presets of this exciting new addition to our Synth lineup."

Pics and details via Perfect Circuit

Additional posts here

Behringer's Polyeight is an eight-voice analog synthesizer that re-creates the era-defining sound of the Polysix. The 2044 low pass filter gave that sound its character and sits at the center of the Polyeight's pure analog signal path. Positive or negative envelope control shapes the filter to create sounds from tight plucks to long blooms. Eight discrete VCOs can be played in dense polyphony for rich harmonies or locked in unison for powerful leads and basslines. Chorus, phaser, and ensemble effects are integrated into the signal path to provide rich textures for strings and pads. Program complex voicings into chord memory and trigger them from a single note. For players chasing the classic Polysix sound, the Behringer Polyeight delivers with more voices and powerful performance features.

CROWN — DIY Generative Synth made with Teensy

video upload by PhilStudio

"A 16-minute exploration with CROWN, my homemade Teensy-based generative synthesizer, accompanied by visuals from PHOSPHOR.

🔗 Discover the Crown project: https://philstudio.blog/phil-studio-v...

No talking, no tutorial—just sound, evolving patterns, and a few turns of the knobs.

I built Crown out of a dream to create a musical companion for my guitar jams: something that could suggest ideas, explore different styles, and surprise me with just a handful of controls. Its five Crowns shape different aspects of the music, turning a few simple choices into a wide range of possibilities.

An Arduino Nano handles the knobs, displays, and controls, while a Teensy handles the sequencing, musical logic, and generation of notes and drums. The instrument is still a working prototype, evolving with each experiment.

Crown Synth

An experimental generative synthesizer that creates melodies, rhythms and textures for spontaneous musical exploration.

Overview

I created Crown out of a dream to build a musical companion for my guitar jams—something I could switch on, explore, and play along with. I wanted to make creating music feel intuitive, with just a few controls to shape the sound and discover different musical styles without getting lost in menus or endless settings. That idea became the five Crowns: five distinct musical personalities, each offering a different starting point for improvisation. Crown brings fresh ideas and unexpected turns to a jam, leaving me free to pick up my guitar and follow wherever the music leads.

The Build

Crown is built around two microcontrollers: an Arduino Nano handles the user interface—knobs, displays, controls, and parameter selection—while a Teensy handles the sequencing, musical logic, and generation of notes and drums. This lets the Teensy focus on making music while the Nano keeps everything hands-on and accessible. A future Sampler Extension, based on the Tsunami Super WAV Trigger, will expand Crown’s sound palette with sampled instruments, atmospheric layers, and other recorded sounds.

The Philosophy and why Crown?

I think of the five Crowns as the guiding forces behind the music. Each one is an abstract control that shapes a whole set of musical decisions, letting me explore different styles and moods with just a few gestures. The name comes from that idea of influence: each Crown rules over part of the musical world, and together they give it its character. My goal was to make something I could play by feel, letting a few meaningful choices open the door to unexpected music.

A dark ambient soundscape built around the Synthux Academy Touch 2 (Bass Firmware).

A latched arpeggio from Touch 2 is looped in Pattern Keeper and slowed down and pitched down, creating a dark, mysterious drone underneath. The same arpeggio continues at regular speed, shaped in real time with the filter and modulators of Touch 2, creating an undulating melody of ever-changing rhythmic synth sounds.

Plinky 12 Chords: 8 bit Chiptune

video upload by Making Sound Machines

"Channeling her love for chiptune music and 90ies Gameboy soundtracks, Enrica from Making Sound Machines plays a piece reminiscent of a retro 8-bit track on Plink 12 Chords.

The internal sequencer advances through an acidjazz chord progression with programmed harmonic inversions, before Enrica switches to a Piano House-style polyphonic arpeggio.

With her right hand, she plays an expressive melody on the polyphonic play surface. The notes in this view are arranged in a tetrachord layout.

The polyphonic play surface reads both play position and pressure of the touch. It enables bends and glides on the horizontal axis, while allowing for discrete arps in the vertical direction.

All sounds are produced with Plinky 12's internal synth engine.

Plinky 12 is a family of expressive polyphonic synthesizers. The three instruments are built around a shared polyphonic synth engine. Designed by mmalex, it evokes the unmistakable melancholic sounds of the original Plinky.

Each instrument is designed in collaboration with a different synth maker, lending each panel a distinct playability and unique character.

Plinky 12 Chords is a harmonic inspiration machine. It lets you improvise melodies and chords, with expressive control over voicings, progressions, and immediate musical play. Created by Making Sound Machines, Chords is the panel for finding beautiful harmonic movement quickly.

Plinky 12 Toadstep is a 4-track step sequencer built for super funky riffs, experimental self-generative melodies, and good ol' Acid. Created by Toadstool Tech, the designer behind the Ectocore Eurorack module, Toadstep is fun, immediate and easy to jam with!

Plinky 12 Blocks is an open panel built for experimentation, with monome-grid compatibility, Plinky style touch synthesis, and a browser-based coding environment just a click away. While it comes with a fully playable design out of the gate, creator mmalex invites you to build your own adventure with this panel. If you can imagine it, you can make it!"

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"ECHOFIELD turns short samples into evolving clouds of sound, shimmering textures, strange loops, ambient soundscapes, and much more. It's a different way to explore the FM-1, built for experimentation and making sounds you might not expect from this little device.

In this video, I'll show you how ECHOFIELD works, explore its different granular modes and performance effects, and take a look at the companion browser app and built-in emulator.

You can even record audio directly from the FM-1 into the app, edit it, and send it back to the device.

Firmware flasher: https://philip-bos.github.io/echofiel...
Companion app: https://philip-bos.github.io/echofiel...
Browser emulator: https://philip-bos.github.io/echofiel...

Installation instructions and project source: https://github.com/Philip-Bos/echofie...

ECHOFIELD is free and experimental. Make sure to read the instructions before installing custom firmware, and back up anything you want to keep."



"ECHOFIELD turns the M-VAVE FM-1, a tiny FM synth, into a granular sampler. It reads tiny pieces of a sample (grains), dozens at a time, each with its own pitch, place and fade, and overlaps them into a sound that keeps moving. It started as a granular sampler for the R36S handheld and was rebuilt here, from the ground up, for the FM-1's own chip.

Six modes: CLOUD, DUST, TAPE, BLOOM, PULSE and DRIFT, each a different way of playing the same sound.

Playable: the keys play the cloud at any pitch, with velocity. Chords work too, and the DRIFT ORACLE picks notes in a key you choose.

Performance effects: hold FX and the black keys become freeze, reverse, octaves, stutter, tape stop, delay throw, shimmer and more, for as long as you hold them.

RANDOM with locks: ARP rolls new settings that still sound good. Lock the knobs you love, and undo if you went too far.

RESAMPLE: record up to five seconds of what you hear into a new sound, then granulate that.

LISTEN: hear any sample as it is, before the grains change it.

14 factory sounds, all CC0, and 16 slots for your own.

Both of the FM-1's cores render the grains, so there are no dropouts when you play hard.

"Just some music put together using various standalone synthesizers, eurorack modules and guitar equipment. Recently I had to move into a new place after I had recorded most of the sounds. Once settled and equipment was running again, I was able to record a couple more items to finish it up. Much of the track was sequenced from the Squarp Hapax with a couple instruments being played manually. Below is a list of the sound devices used:

Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Surface, Novation Bass Station II, Novation Peak, Korg Opsix, Elektron Digitakt II, Korg Arp2600M, Moog Mother 32, Puremagnetik Etches, Sequential OB-6, Ibanez AS7328 Baritone (Science Amplification Earthling into Two Notes Captor X+)."

'The Moog One was released in 2018 to much fanfare and high expectations. By all accounts, it was the greatest analog polysynth ever made; 16 voices, 3 oscillators, dual filters, knob-per-function, and Eventide effects. On paper at least, it was unbelievable. In person, it was astounding to play. Sounds were unlike anything ever made, and it lived up to the hype. But there were problems underneath. The volume knob was an unfamiliar taper. The filters didn't really drive much. There was very little distortion because of so much headroom in the mixer. The effects were underwhelming. And the fan noise to cool all that analog circuitry was loud and omnipresent. I know all this, because I beta tested it for over a year. All told, I entered 119 bugs and feature requests. To Moog's credit, they fixed about 89 of them.

When we set out to make this the ultimate homage version, we wanted everything possible, including improvements. But that wasn't enough; it had to play my original patches, offer all the improvements we could think of, and sound exactly like the original, but better.

TL;DR: it does.

The oscillators now include all the familiar analog shapes-- with sharpening, digital wavetables (including your own if you're bold enough), drawable shapes, and much more. The filters include the originals, modelled to within a dB at all ranges, plus most classic analog synth cart type additions, learned from all our other synth models. Plus, we added patch jacks for fast modulation routes. Plus, DRIVE and analog feedback loop lifted from Minimoog circuitry. CP3 mixer technology for even more vintage clarity. Instability along the way that isn't intrusive. Freely routable better snappy envelopes. A sequencer that outputs multiple lanes that you can drag anywhere. Effects that start with what should've shipped in the original, enhanced with legendary features. And if that's not enough, you can use your own VST3 effects inside it-- a world's first! All of this wrapped up in our EZ button. Randomize your way to your next sound and get there faster than you would've guessed.
And best of all--- a cooling fan that is near dead silent, measured to within .001 dB of the original, then completely cancelled out!

All new factory patches, plus my original 161 patches for your enjoyment.
