Roland SR-JV80-06 Dance Demo


video upload by Panu M Savolainen

"Multitracked demo of Roland SR-JV80-06 Dance expansion. All sounds are from Dance expansion. Card was installed to Roland JV-1080 so all the effects etc. from Super-JV. I didn’t find JV-1080 pictures from the 90’s but it was fully loaded back then and centerpiece for long time. Dance card was released in 1992 if I’m correct."

A Modern Jupiter? Can the UDO SUPER 8 Fulfill the Same Role as a Vintage Jupiter 8?

"Is the UDO Super 8 the modern equivalent of the legendary Roland Jupiter-8? Or does the original analog icon still reign supreme? Or was this just an elaborate excuse for me to get the Jupiter 8 on camera :)

In this video I put the UDO Super 8 and Roland Jupiter-8 head-to-head to see how close modern synth design can get to one of the most iconic polysynths ever made. Forget nostalgia for a moment — what happens when you simply listen to them as two instruments?

We explore the sound, architecture, features, modulation, oscillators, filters, and overall character of both synths to answer the question many synth players are asking:
Can a modern hybrid synth compete with one of the greatest analog synths ever built?

The Super 8 clearly takes inspiration from the Jupiter-8, but it also introduces modern features and flexibility that vintage synths simply didn’t have. So which one would you choose in your studio?

By the end of the video we compare:

Raw sound and tone
Oscillator character
Filters and modulation
Modern workflow vs vintage simplicity
Features and flexibility
And finally… the price difference that might surprise you

Whether you're into vintage synths, modern analog hybrids, classic Roland gear, or cutting-edge instruments like the UDO Super 8, this comparison will give you a clear idea of what each synth does best."

"#0182 out of less than 2000 ever made.

I just bought this for myself for Xmas but I don't need it. I have over 20 other synths. I just never had this one and wanted to check it out. It's awesome. Stack multiple sounds at once, multiple filter cut offs, the MS20 low pass and high pass filters in an awesome joystick, aftertouch, and the best cross mod ever. Everything works great. Just got it from a shop from Japan. Comes with the original Japanese manual and a hard case. It works perfect with a Kenton Pro Solo too so you can easily use it with your midi gear if you want to do that. Tons of jacks on the back give it even more potential. One of the nicest ones you will find and now it's in the states. It uses Japanese power so you should use a power converter. They're very cheap. Do not use this synth in the US without a converter."

Syntakt 1.40 update | Drum n Bass


video upload by VoltageCtrlRtv

"The new Elektron Syntakt 1.40 update opens up some really interesting creative possibilities, so I decided to take it for a spin with a Jungle / Drum & Bass session built around the legendary Amen Break.

In this session I’m layering chopped Amen break fragments with additional sampled percussive elements, then shaping the groove using the Syntakt’s sequencing and modulation tools. The goal wasn’t to recreate classic jungle exactly, but to explore how the Syntakt’s hybrid digital/analog engines can push those rhythms into new territory.

I’m also using several of my custom presets from my Syntakt West Kept Secrets and Formless Sound Packs, which add evolving textures, bass layers, and percussive machines that blend nicely with breakbeat programming.

One of the things I love about the Syntakt is how quickly you can move from an idea to a full performance. With the new update, the workflow feels even tighter for live rhythmic experimentation.

If you're into Jungle, Drum & Bass, IDM, or experimental rhythm programming, this session might give you some ideas for pushing the Syntakt further.

The Oxi E16 is the best MIDI controller I've owned. It makes the OP-XY so much more jammable ๐ŸŽ›️๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป


video upload by DeeCee

"I've been dabbling with MIDI controllers recently (as you will have seen if you've watched my recent stuff). Nothing has really hit the mark, until now. It's been a right pain in the ass to set up (the Mac app doesn't want to let me use it to configure settings) and have had to manually enter them on the device itself. But it's actually pretty easy once you know how. The OP-XY and Artemis have presets available to upload to import to it so you just need to know what you're doing and you're off. I've wanted a small but robust controller for ages and decided to give this a go. It's not cheap but it's impeccably made. The linking of encoders is amazing. There's no way you could perform a filter sweep on 2+ tracks on the OP-XY. This makes it easy peasy. Love it. Hope you enjoy!

Syntakt 1.40 – 7 Power-Ups That Completely Redefine It

video upload by Sineway

"Syntakt firmware 1.40 just dropped - and yes, it plays samples now. But that's not the real story.

After spending serious time with this firmware, I found 7 power-ups that completely change what this machine is capable of. We're talking new oscillator colors, evolving morph engines, harmonic stacking with real instrument samples, character layering that captures the soul of your synths, track linking with analog filter routing, stereo filter panning, and performance upgrades that make jamming more intuitive than ever.

This isn't about drum one-shots. This is about what sampling unlocks for sound design, harmony, and musicality on a machine that already had serious creative depth.

All sounds in this video come from my own sample library recorded from my synthesizers — including the Novation Peak, Sequential Fourm, and Arturia AstroLab 37. The full sample pack and project files are available on my Patreon.

Chapters:
0:00 Intro

TB303 Day. Acid house with Kaleidoscope


video upload by Vadjuse

"Patch notes.
Track 1 is a classic acid bass. A saw with an opening filter. And a bit of glide.

Track 2 is a kick drum—a triangle wave with pitch modulation.

This is where the magic begins.

The bass volume envelope on Track 1 modulates the decay of the kick drum on Track 2. The louder the bass, the faster the kick drum rolls in.

The kick drum volume envelope (which the bass modulates, don't forget) on Track 2 modulates the modulation depth of the volume envelope, which modulates the opening of Track 1's filter. This is what makes the bass sound so unique.

You won't be able to get this sound on a TB303 or other high-end grooveboxes. Because their modulations can only exist within a track and don't extend beyond it. In this video, the sounds of both instruments are closely linked and influence each other.

Return — a track with Koala Sampler


video upload by Payton Carter Music

"Hey. It's been a while.

Grad school and family responsibilities made it really difficult for me to put any time toward making music, so I ended up selling all my gear. After that, I tried to make a few tracks on the computer in my free time, but it was never any fun and I couldn't finish anything. I decided that music production just wasn't the right thing to be focusing on at this point in my life.

Of course, the desire never left. I spent two hours commuting every day on the train, which I usually filled with reading or listening to music. Recently, I decided I would try to make some music during those two hours. I downloaded Koala Sampler on my phone and gave it a shot. This is what I came up with.

This track uses all stock samples and the built-in Quokka synthesizer. The video is a lie. I recorded it in real time, but I ended up just exporting the stems so I could add some effects and chop some patterns around. You'll notice some drum pads aren't triggering when they should be based on the audio. Sorry.

I hope you enjoy this track. It felt really good to finally finish something."

introducing midiphy zetaSID: expandable modular SID synth voice


video upload by midiphy

"midiphy proudly presents: zetaSID expandable modular SID synth voice

The legendary SID chip reimagined as an expandable modular synth voice: powerful synthesis engine, animated OLED display, and polyphony-expandable.

zetaSID is a powerful eurorack modular synthesizer voice packed into just 4 HP, expandable via the new midiphy phybus backplane link. Start with a single monophonic voice controlled via CV/gate and scale it to a full polyphonic MIDI synthesizer with up to six stereo voices with MIDI control. At its core lies the legendary MIDIbox SID synthesis engine, featuring six LFOs, dual envelopes, quad wave sequencers, eight modulation paths with dozens of sources, algorithmic operations, and an extensive trigger matrix.

It ships with 100 carefully crafted patches in its ROM bank, ready to use as-is or as inspiration for your own creations.

zetaSID is an expandable powerful SID voice covering a wide range of tones and textures, from classic chiptune staples to sounds you might not expect from a SID chip.

midiphy 4 x zetaSID Song

video upload by Avrilcadabra

"Hi everyone, These are midiphy eurorack modules.

Disclaimer I have marked this video as Paid Promotion although I was not paid to make this or any video, I was sent these to test before release.

The zetaSID modules are based on the legendary Midibox Sid Synthesizer.
They contain the lead and drum engines from the Midibox Sid and use Hermits (creator of Sid Wizard tracker) Sid emulation.

Each zetaSID contains 3 voices and filter as you would expect from an Sid chip ( The Sid chip is the sound chip from the legendary Commodore 64 home computer from the 80's )

So each zetaSID is a like one commodore 64. If you have multiple zetaSID's they can be linked together with supplied ribbon cables internally to add them to the Phybus, midiphy's way of having all modules being able to talk to each other. They then can work in unison, as stereo pairs, monophonically or for polyphony so a lot of different ways to use them. Of course I wanted to test how I could use them multitimbrally, and in this example I have them unlinked (not physically you can do it from the menus)

The midi module is Nexus Midi by midiphy and allows you to control the zetaSID's via regular midi over the Phybus (they do support cv gate also)

zetaSID 1 is using the drum engine, here I have split, kick, snare and hats over different voices on a single zetaSID, so indeed you can play a kick, hat and snare at the time time if patched this way.

zetaSID 2 is the lead sound, it is going through some hall reverb in this example. It shows off legato bends and using the impressive wave sequencer to increase vibrato over time (like tables if you are familiar with trackers)

zetaSID 3 Uses the Arp to provide classic c64 Arp sounds, I am just sending chords to this module over midi and it is handling the arps itself. It actually has 3 arpeggiators, one per voice, so a stereo pair of zetasids can run SIX arps with completely different settings at the same time from a single patch, impressive.

zetaSID 4 Is using one of the factory presets Den of Saws, I've just high passed it a bit since we are using a lot harmonically rich voices in this song.

This was midi sequenced via a Dirtywave M8 Tracker.

I will show more of the zetaSID's, as they are very powerful and very deep, the amount of modulation they have is outstanding even has Logic Gates, you can literally XOR lfo's together and I need to say if you are seeing this video and thinking you want like to write songs on these that program change isn't currently implemented, but is a high priority on the roadmap.

If you like my music I have a bandcamp here https://avrilcadabra.bandcamp.com/
And you can find me on streaming services and socials also."

LXR-02 gets Xeno'ed (no talk)


video upload by Richard DeHove

"In the last video I had the DB-01 going into the Nightverb reverb and then into the Xenodrive. This time it's a more conventional routing of the LXR-02 into the Xenodrive and then into the Nightverb. With the Nightverb early reflections, a little pre-delay and a careful amount of shape,it sudden;y came together. I was setting up for a completely different video idea but just had to capture this instead.

It's not all happy accidents though. First I tried Echolocator feedback into the Xeno and then Nightverb. Mildly interesting but even the Xeno couldn't rip the Echo feedback apart. And that's how it goes sometimes - you set everything up, twiddle up to 11 and you draw a blank. Sometimes I'll chew on it for days before admitting it was a rotten idea. I wasted the best part of two weeks recently on a looper pedal I bought and just couldn't get a single thing out of it. So sometimes when I don't post a video for a couple of weeks it's not because I'm too busy with cocktails and cigars, it's because my latest great idea just didn't produce anything worth your time.

Hopefully you'll agree that this little experiment with the LXR-02 was worthwhile. The LXR-02 remains one of my favorite machines. It has its flaws and is still desperately in need of another firmware update but I think it's a brilliant machine. Six assignable LFOs and multiple filters, deep editing and a tiny footprint: So much to love.

If this were a final production drum track I would definitely add a deep and clean bass drum from Hexdrums, but as usual I like to keep things well defined. Adding an external bassdrum would sound better but then you wouldn't be hearing pure LXR-02 / Xeno / Nightverb. My aim is to show you possibilities.

Waldorf Protein in the hands of a beginner makes "Bang!"


video upload by Nicolai

"I just bought the Waldorf Protein. They said it is their entry level, so I unboxed it, did a test drive, created some own patches and guess what: "Bang!" a tight techno track was born.

๐ŸŽง Original "Bang!" track (the one born from frustration): [below]


It is a lovely wavetable synth: portable (fits my setup perfectly), flexible and most importantly: accessible! Sure, there are menus and a shift button for deeper tweaks, but most of the time you just coast on the sound, dialing it in directly with the tons of hands-on knobs. How cool is that?

Watch the full video: unboxing, preset demos and evolution, honest critique, Nicolai patch building which lead to the 'Bang!' track."

What the h_ll is a PLL? Digging in to the Doepfer A-196


video upload by Sound + Voltage

"This time we're diving deep - perhaps too deep - into the mysteries of the Phase-Locked Loop, which Doepfer improbably made a Eurorack module for. So if you want to learn what that loop is and why you'd want to lock it, this is for you. All four of you.

No AI content, though I do use it for research.

Timeline:

00:00 - Intro
01:42 - What PLLs do
03:05 - How they do it
08:47 - How the 'over the radio' effect works
10:51 - Building a PLL out of spare parts
13:31 - PLL as a frequency multiplier
19:36 - Lots of stuff to try

Patch notes: Make your audio sound like an FM broadcast with a PLL

video upload by Sound + Voltage

"Apologies for the long absence, but I'm back - this time with a patch I've been trying to make work for years: the effect of audio coming over the radio.

It was a complete surprise that this worked, I was just playing around with a phase-locked loop module. I didn't think this would end up being a video about FM at all, but when I stumbled on it, I had to share.

Modules in use: Antumbra Fade, Radio Music, Cap'n Big-O VCO, Doepfer A-196 PLL, Steady State Fate's Quantum Rainbow 2, and Void Modular Hexagram.

Speak & Glitch GND 1T circuit bent synthesizer: The power of Manual Morph and Drift Buffer Scaling


video upload by GND-1

"The GND-1T is available directly from https://richardvanhoesel.com/gnd1t

This video shows how to use two powerful tools on the Speak and Glitch GND-1T: manual patch morphing, and drift-buffer scaling. Combined they offer a powerful way to navigate the GND-1T's vast sonic landscape, and make creating unique new textures and patches very simple. There's a lot more that you can adjust in this process than I don't have time to show here, so see the manual for more information. But if you haven't used this combination so far with your GND-1T, I think you will be very happy to start doing so after watching this.

As usual, everything you hear in these demos is a direct stereo stream recorded from the GND-1T, without any external effects."

MultiVERSE - New Multiversal Shared System | NUSS Episode 05


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I got my MultiWAVE in december 2025, but got distracted by my January 2026 'musical holiday' and making the 'AI Survival Guide'. Meanwhile, MakeNoise has posted a wealth of videos and guides, and Red Means Jeremy did one of the best musical demos out there. There's no need to repeat any of those. I needed to do 'my own thing', but couldn't really figure out how this would look like.

My favorite modular will always remain the Shared System because this is what made me start modular in the first place, all the way back to 2018. The 'Shared' is my reference. So I wondered how MultiWAVE would sound as a shared guest and move my way to the full NUSS setup. NUSS is very much a new ecosystem and it's a bit 'closed' in the sense that you really need the combo of MultiWAVE, PoliMaths and the dual QXG to get started. Sure you can use them on their own (especially QXG) but you'd be in the unexplored territory of the MultiVERSE. However, this is where the happy accidents live. In the odd combinations and the bad patching.

So in this episode there's more noise than music. When the midi implementation firmware is available, this may change."

Blue Monday/New Order (Circuit Tracks Revision)


video upload by Guinan

"Almost! It's another Monday, so what could be more apt than todays 1983 New Order classic, Blue Monday.

As per usual this is ALL Novation Circuit Tracks playing live from the audio outs direct into my Zoom L6 recorder. No extra synths/no effects/no extra edits.

This is a revision of a version I did about 12 months ago. There is a lot going on in this track so I've squeezed a bit extra out of the groovebox in using some short melodic samples in place of drum sounds on 3 pads.

I'd initially dug it out to get me started on an Ableton Move version of the track and with some polished up samples and a little bit of editing I thought it was worth a revision.

More details for synth nerds,

BPM 131
I originally programmed the top arpeggio line on the Circuit Tracks quickly realising I was going to run out of voices. I sampled the riff and stuck it on a pad and played it back as a pattern and saved myself a voice, I couldn't get a bass synth sound that would double up as the main synth and as 'Peter Hook'. Instead I played a short Spaghetti Western style bass guitar riff through a spring reverb in my best impression of Hooky and sampled it on the Circuit Rhythm. I then transferred this onto one of the drum sample pads and put it on Drum 4 as another pattern, finally there is a choir sample the band played on an old Emulator. I simply copied the same source they used ( Kraftwerk's track, 'Uranium') and made a loop on another one of the drum pads, turning it into a 3rd pattern for Drum 4."

EMS Universal Sequencer Playlist


video uploads by analogia pl

A few of these have been featured on the site before. You can use the player controls to skip around.

Playlist:

1. EMS Synthi with Universal Sequencer and RSF Kobol #emssynthi #rsfkobol #rolandph830
It’s a tune done on the Synthi and EMS Universal Sequencer with some help from RSF Kobol processed by Roland PH-830 phaser.
2. 2 x EMS Universal Sequencer with Roland MC-202 #emssynthi #emsuniversalsequencer #mc202
Universal Sequencer is playing a sequence on the Synthi and the 202 - that’s why it’s called “universal” as both sequence and real time layers have CV/gate outputs. No effects other than spring reverb on the Synthi.
