DrumDing By Vermona. Live Jam Improvisation (No talking)
video upload by SynthyCraft
DrumDing By Vermona. Full Track Demo Sound. (No talking)
video upload by SynthyCraft
"Download PatchBook for DrumDing: https://www.synthycraft.com/l/drumdin...
drumDING challenges the conventional concept of a drum machine. Forget dedicated tracks for kicks, snares, hi-hats, and percussion. Instead, everything begins with a single, powerful analog synthesis engine capable of creating an entire universe of electronic sounds.
Sculpt your sound from scratch, capture it instantly as a sample, and bring it into the digital domain for further processing, layering, and experimentation. Each sound becomes a building block, ready to take its place in a rhythm driven by drumDING's integrated sequencer.
The process is beautifully circular: synthesize, sample, sequence, repeat. Every new sound opens the door to another creative direction, turning drumDING into an instrument where sound design and beatmaking become one continuous experience.
And that's where the magic happens. What initially feels like an unconventional approach quickly becomes second nature. Rather than forcing you into a predefined workflow, drumDING encourages exploration, experimentation, and discovery."

Yamaha CS60 & Moog Voyager driven by BlueARP DM
video upload by graywolf2004ru
"EDM live performance with BlueARP DM, sequencing Yamaha CS-60, Moog Voyager and Roland TR707 (used as a sound module). This took around 4 hours to put together, these analog beasts were not easy to tame. Happy to lay my hands on Yamaha CS-60 which I likely will never afford. And also good test-drive for BlueARP DM."

Melodic Techno House πΉ | Relaxing Synth Live Jam | Korg Volca Setup
video upload by Underground Modulation
"A relaxing Melodic Techno House synth jam featuring beautiful melodies, warm analog basslines and atmospheric synthesizer textures. πΉ
This time, I'm going for something different: a calm, easy-listening melodic techno house jam without tension or aggressive elements. Just smooth electronic grooves, warm synthesizer sounds and evolving melodies.
Four Korg Volca synthesizers come together to create this melodic journey:
πΉ Korg Volca Keys – Main melodic line and beautiful analog sounds.
π Korg Volca FM – Atmospheric melodic textures and evolving electronic sounds.
π Korg Volca Bass – Deep and warm analog basslines.
π₯ Korg Volca Drum – Electronic drums and percussion.
My setup and workflow:
Everything is sequenced and recorded in Ableton Live. I'm using Ableton Live's delay and reverb effects to add depth, atmosphere and space to the synthesizer sounds.
Novation Launchpad Mini helps me switch between clips and control the arrangement during the performance.
Final mastering is also done in Ableton Live.
I love exploring different musical directions with hardware synthesizers, and this time I wanted to create something melodic, peaceful and enjoyable.
π§ Put on your headphones, relax and enjoy the journey!"

Squark Box - Free 16 neuron feedback synthesizer
video upload by e y l v y
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/squark-...

Squark Box is a sixteen-neuron feedback network you can play, built in the spirit of the analog neural-network synthesizers of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
It is a small cybernetic system where every neuron listens to the others and answers back. Think pulses, drones, chirps and slowly shifting rhythms, held somewhere between equilibrium and chaos. You don't tell it what to play; you steer it, and it steers itself.
• 16 neurons on a live round screen. Tap to rewire them, or turn the seeds for a new network.
• Feedback everywhere: neurons pulse, resonate and pull each other into step or out of it.
• A rungler: a shift-register pattern generator, for patterns that repeat or wander.
• Twin resonant filter peaks that sing.
• Modulation: any neuron can move any knob, so the network can turn its own controls.
• Rest, to break chatter into clusters, and STRIKE, to jolt the whole network.
• A spring tank and a blur, for space.
• Four memory slots.
• Mutate nudges a few knobs; Dice randomizes the whole box, cables and all.
• AUv3 for AUM, GarageBand, Logic and Live, as well as a standalone app.

GForce Software Introduces Virtual Oberheim Matrix-12

Playlist:
1. GForce Oberheim Matrix-12 With Alex Ball
2. GForce Oberheim Matrix-12 - Patch Playthrough
3. GForce Oberheim Matrix-12 Walkthrough
"The Oberheim Matrix-12 is the synth you've asked us for more than any other, and it's here. Oberheim's most ambitious analogue synthesiser, reborn with modern power.
The Matrix-12 gave Vangelis, Depeche Mode, The Orb and Technotronic some of the thickest pads, sweeps and basses ever recorded. Twelve voices, a fifteen-mode filter and Matrix Modulation, with the routing map printed on the panel because no screen could show it.
This is the only official Oberheim Matrix-12 and Xpander software instrument, created with Oberheim and Marcus Ryle, the original designer. We modelled the oscillators, filter and envelope shapes against the hardware, then made the matrix visible. Drag from any source to any knob and watch the Flow diagram and Mod Matrix show exactly how each voice is built.
Six keyboard zones with micro arpeggiators, full MPE, four Macros, onboard delay and reverb, and over 570 patches, including 190+ originals from the Matrix-12 and Xpander. The deepest synth Oberheim ever made is now the easiest to understand.
Presented by Alex Ball.
Analogue Soul. Digital Power."
I Own a Matrix-12. GForce Got Closer Than I Wanted.
video upload by Vulture Culture
"I own an Oberheim Matrix-12. GForce and Oberheim have made the first official plugin version of it, so I put the two side by side and tried to break both.
What I found:
VCO drift is identical, which is the thing people actually want from an analog emulation.
Filter FM is where plugins usually fail, Arturia in particular, and it is the most impressive thing here.
All fifteen filter modes are very close, though you generally have to push the resonance further on the software to match.
There are real differences in the noise, in oscillator brightness and in the envelope and LFO times. Some of those might be my 41 year old unit rather than their model.
It does not sound exactly like my hardware. It might sound exactly like the hardware they modelled it on.
DISCLOSURE: GForce paid me to design some of the factory presets for this plugin. They did not ask or pay me to make this video, and they have no control over what I say in it."

Orbiton One | SynthFest UK 2026
video upload by Sound On Sound magazine
"Orbiton are at SynthFest UK with an ambitious debut product: the Orbiton One is an acoustic synthesizer that will be available in early 2027."
https://orbitonsynth.com/
"We are developing an acoustic synthesizer built around physical lamellas that are set into vibration when a key is pressed. This gives musicians a richly tactile way to shape sound, beyond the limits of velocity-based keys.
Each key sets a thin steel reed vibrating — acoustically silent by design; it is captured by sensors that turn its motion into sound.
Physical oscillators
Each key sets a thin steel reed vibrating — acoustically silent by design; it is captured by sensors that turn its motion into sound. By pressing a key, the vibrations are felt haptically against the finger while the lamella decays at its natural rate.
Continuous control
Each lamella generates a continuous analog signal that modulates the synth engine directly. Press, pluck or strike — the gesture keeps shaping the sound for as long as the lamella rings.
Sensor array
Each lamella has its own sensor and its own signal path. The engine reads all of them at once, so every key stays live and independent."

His Instrument Gave Me Wings: An Evening with Suzanne Ciani and Her Buchla
This one was sent my way via Todd Barton.

Suzanne Ciani will be performing live at the Museum of Music Technology in Harleysville, PA. The concert will actually be livestreamed for free. If you are in the area you can purchase tickets to attend. You can find full details on the event here.
"Suzanne Ciani, a groundbreaking composer and performer who got her start by building Buchla’s instruments in the 1960s and eventually became one of the world's foremost Buchla artists, brings her unique voice and history to this exhibition.
After receiving her master's degree in composition at UC Berkeley, where she collaborated with John Chowning and Max Matthews, Ciani began working with synthesizer designer Don Buchla in the early 1970s. Using a Buchla Analog Modular Synthesizer, she founded her own company, Ciani/Musica, and created iconic sounds for commercials for Coca-Cola, Merrill Lynch, AT&T, and General Electric. In 1981 she became the first woman to score a major full-length Hollywood release with Lily Tomlin's The Incredible Shrinking Woman. She went on to release a series of albums blending electronic and acoustic instruments, earning five Grammy nominations. She was the first woman to receive the Moog Innovation Award in 2017, and her life and work were the subject of the documentary A Life in Waves. Today she performs solo quadraphonic Buchla concerts, bringing her work full circle to its experimental electronic roots.
This event offers a rare chance to see Ciani perform and speak in a small intimate venue."

Moog press release follows:




MOOG MUSIC LAUNCHES MODEL 112 AND MODEL 210, AMplifiers Designed for electronic instruments
Two all-analog FRFR systems combine full-range amplification, integrated four-channel mixing, professional connectivity, and expandable stereo operation for synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, and modern performance rigs
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (October 27, 2026) – Moog Music® today announced Model 112 and Model 210, two full-range, flat-response (FRFR) instrument amplifiers purpose-built for synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, and modern electronic performance rigs.
Model 112 combines a portable 12-inch format with 440W RMS bi-amplified power for studios, rehearsals, personal monitoring, and live performance. Model 210 steps up to a 550W RMS, 2.5-way design with dual 10-inch woofer and deeper low frequency extension for larger stages and more demanding performance rigs.
Both models deliver an all-analog amplification path, 4 stereo inputs and an integrated four-channel stereo mixer, balanced PA connectivity, Bluetooth® streaming, headphone monitoring, and Stereo Link for building a two-amplifier stereo system. Together, Model 112 and Model 210 extend Moog's focus on electronic performance from the instrument itself to how it is monitored and heard on stage, in rehearsal, and in the studio.
"Every great electronic instrument has its own sonic identity," said Joe Richardson, President at Moog Music. "Model 112 and Model 210 were designed to preserve that identity, not color it. From the unmistakable warmth of a Moog synthesizer to the transient snap of a drum machine, these amplifiers allow the true character of the instrument to come through. Musicians work hard to shape their sound. They deserve amplification that delivers it honestly, consistently, and exactly as intended."
MODEL 112: everyday Versatility
Model 112 delivers full-range electronic-instrument amplification in a portable format designed to move between studio, rehearsal space, performance, and personal monitoring setups. A 440W RMS bi-amplified system drives a 12-inch woofer and 1-inch compression driver with a frequency response of 40Hz–20kHz. A top carry handle makes Model 112 the more portable choice for musicians who regularly move between creative and performance environments.
MODEL 210: Command the stage
Model 210 is the higher-output system in the range, designed for larger stages and demanding electronic performance rigs. A 550W RMS bi-amplified, 2.5-way design combines a 1-inch compression driver with dual 10-inch woofers, one woofer for full range, the second focusing on low frequencies extending down to 35Hz ensuring powerful response for synthesizer bass, electronic drums, sound design, and bass modeling systems. Full-grip side handles and removable casters support transport and stage position, while two Model 210 amplifiers can be connected using Stereo Link for performance setups.

Two contours (filter and loudness) with attack, decay and sustain. The attack is exponential, like the original circuit. Glide, LFO and modulation complete the section.
100 presets
Ten groups of ten: a showcase of styles, hard leads, soft leads, basses, pads and strings, brass, plucks, keys, atmospheres and sound effects. About a quarter comes with the arpeggiator already on. Save your own in 32 user slots.
Arpeggiator and sequencer
One tap on ARP turns it on and off; holding it sets HOLD. The sequencer records up to 16 notes (REC) and plays them (PLAY). The key LEDs light with the notes.
Effects per preset
Reverb, delay, chorus and drive, each preset with its own combination, so basses, leads and pads live in very different spaces."

Torso Live Session #9: Anton Friisgaard
video upload by torso electronics
"torso electronics presents a live session recorded at torso electronics hq in Copenhagen.
In this episode, Anton Friisgaard moves between future grime, choral music, ambient techno, post-dubstep and broken beat. His set brings together ethereal, mechanical textures with a lush, melancholic atmosphere.
The S4 is the centre of the setup, with a set of macros that Anton uses to shape the samples and introduce glitchy fills and momentary variations. His material comes from an archive of sounds recorded on analog synths and acoustic sources, often processed through tape or digital means.
The structure is planned in advance, with each segment chosen to shape the set’s overall dynamic. A sustained choir loop, sampled from Kringsatt Av Fiender by Nordahl Grieg and Otto Mortensen through Anton’s tape-loop system, creates a heavy, historical moment between two more modern-sounding sections.
Within that structure, the S4’s processing and macros leave room to improvise. By bringing together samples from different contexts, Anton lets unexpected relationships emerge, guided by his own taste.
About Anton Friisgaard
Anton Friisgaard is an electronic musician and composer whose work brings acoustic and electronic sound worlds together. His practice spans classical collaborations, tape-loop experiments and Teratai Γ kande, a six-year project created with Balinese gamelan musicians. He has released music through Flau, Janushoved, Vaagner and Stroom, and performed at Roskilde Festival, Intonal, Copenhagen Jazz Festival and ALICE."

Roland Refreshes the Popular Roland Boutique Lineup with Two Powerful New Additions
Los Angeles, CA, October 20, 2026 — Roland announces two new additions to its long-running lineup of Roland Boutique instruments for on-the-go creation, performance, and music production. The JUPITER-08 is a special release that celebrates 45 years of the Roland JUPITER-8, one of the most coveted analog synthesizers of all time. n/vision is a newly developed instrument that elevates the sophisticated character of classic wavetable synthesis with Roland's latest technologies.
Introduced in 2015, Roland Boutique is a growing world of compact instruments that drive fresh creative approaches in electronic music, expanding on legendary sounds of the past with workflows tailored for modern producers and musicians. The sound is immense and iconic—often inspired by famous Roland designs—while the small, portable form factor is made for in-the-moment creativity. Whether performing live on stage, producing in the studio, or playing for pure enjoyment, Roland Boutique delivers an exceptional musical experience for creators of all kinds.
With the latest additions, the current Roland Boutique lineup now includes eight unique models. The JUPITER-08 and n/vision carry on all the great design features that the series is known for, including built-in speakers, flexible battery/USB-C power, and USB audio/MIDI connectivity for interfacing with music software. These new models also include a K-25m keyboard dock, making them standalone instruments for instant inspiration.
JUPITER-08 Synthesizer
Widely regarded as the king of polysynths, the Roland JUPITER-8 has been revered by generations of musicians since its debut in 1981. This powerhouse instrument helped define the era's electronic music with its huge, dreamy tones, and it continues to be heard in classic synth-pop tracks, video game soundtracks, film scores, modern pop hits, and more. The JUPITER-08 celebrates the 45th anniversary of the analog legend with this special addition to the Roland Boutique series. Offering sonic capabilities and interface features inspired by the original hardware, this powerful mini synth delivers classic sound, hands-on control, and modern performance tools in a go-everywhere design.
With its flexible sound engine, the JUPITER-08 is a highly capable musical tool. By default, the synth is set for a retro experience with the eight-part/two-voice architecture of the original JUPITER-8, but users can internally expand the polyphony to 32 voices to meet modern playing needs and craft all-new tonalities. With refined voice allocation and pitch behavior, the JUPITER-08 provides a rich, animated playing experience with enhanced polyphonic performance and genuine vintage-inspired character.
The JUPITER-08 comes equipped with a two-part, 64-step polyphonic sequencer and an arpeggio function, ready to capture ideas and build dynamic, evolving sounds on the fly. Onboard processing is also available for extensive sound shaping and spatial enhancement. Users can tap into 17 unique effects—including chorus and MFX—plus dedicated delay and a reverb with five types and a unique shimmer mode.
n/vision Wavetable Synthesizer
n/vision is a small yet mighty synthesizer that elevates classic wavetable synthesis with advanced Roland sound-shaping techniques. Newly developed for the Roland Boutique series, it delivers a powerful platform for crafting rich tonalities and evolving textures, offering hands-on control for immediate creative interaction and deep menu-driven tools for sophisticated sound design.
Powered by Roland’s latest sound advancements, n/vision allows players to build evocative textures through a tactile synthesizer workflow. Users can easily blend and shape two wavetable layers to create animated movement, moving pads, aggressive leads, complex timbres, and more.
Multiple modulation sources can influence wavetable position, layer balance, pitch, and shaping parameters, enabling highly dynamic sound movement. Roland’s innovative wave-shaper technology transforms incoming waveforms through non-linear processing, generating new harmonics and unique textures that go beyond the capabilities of traditional wavetable synthesis.
n/vision’s top-level interface supports immediate sound creation, but users can dive much deeper if they want. Step LFO, envelope modulation, oscillator modulation, motion recording, and extensive parameter control open powerful sound design capabilities. n/vision also provides additional sonic enhancement with a drive-enhanced analog-modeling filter, multiple filter models inspired by classic synths, and the same powerful effects processing options as the JUPITER-08.
