video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88 — a work of minimal music built from overlapping sequenced phrases that gradually evolve in tone and texture.

All synthesizers are played via MIDI sequences from Ableton Live.

On the Prophet-10, the filter cutoff and resonance are manually adjusted, with the output processed through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky for reverb.

The Moog One’s EG Amount and waveform Mix parameters are manipulated during playback.

The Nord Lead is processed through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for rich reverb.

At the end of the piece, a deep reverb is added across the entire mix using ‪@ValhallaDSP‬ Valhalla Shimmer in the DAW."

"A piece created with ‪@SONICWARE‬ CyDrums, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, and ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead — a hand-played minimal house track built around an even kick groove.

CyDrums provides the even kick, short-decay hi-hats, and toms. The sound is processed with filter and reverb using the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, and compression is added via the ALESIS 3630.

The Moog One performs the bassline, while the Nord Lead handles the harmony. The Nord Lead runs through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for reverb."

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@buchlausa‬ Music Easel, and modular synthesizers — an ambient electronica track built from layered sounds recorded while walking around the studio.

The Prophet-10 is connected to a blueSky reverb, played with long release settings while manually opening and closing the filter.

Both the Moog One and ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead provide synth pads. The Nord Lead runs through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus with a deep reverb.

In the small Intellijel modular case, the ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬ Morphagene plays back recorded piano sounds, with additional reverb added via a Clouds clone.

In the 7U Intellijel case seen on the right side of the screen, the Instruō Cs-L is processed through QPAS and Mimeophon for filtering and delay effects.

The Music Easel is connected to a ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, adding rich reverb. The Easel is played with noticeable portamento while performing on the keyboard."

Jazzy Electronica w/ Moog One, Nord Lead, NTS-3, Ominisphere2 : Relocation 2025-09-22 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and software synths. Beat electronica built from glitch-processed rhythms via the NTS-3 and layered synthesizers.

On the Moog One, harmonies are performed with synth pad sounds.

On the Nord Lead, phrases are played with delay added through Specular Tempus.

The beat is programmed in Ableton and processed through the ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-3 looper to create glitch effects.

Other parts are mainly constructed in Ableton using Omnisphere, Massive, and similar software synths."

Ambient with TAPES & SYNTHS | Artificial environment 2025-08-07 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Moog One, Nord Lead & Two Cassette Players

A free-tempo soundscape where slow-moving synth pads flow beneath taped piano phrases, birdsong and processed radio hiss.

‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One – plays the pad harmonies.

‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead – performs improvised phrases, drenched in delay from a Specular Tempus.

Cassettes – two portable decks replay field-recorded ambience and a one-minute piano loop.

‪@KOMAelektronik‬ Field Kit – acts as the mixer, taking the cassette signals plus its own AM/FM radio. The AUX send feeds a ‪@KORG_INC‬ monotron DELAY for extra filtered echoes."

Field recordings of cicadas, Rhodes Mark II, OP-1 field : Imaginary cicada 2025-08-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Field recordings of a cicada-filled park, Nord Lead, and Rhodes

A piece built from park ambience where cicadas sing—heard against the memory of a summer so hot that, these days, even the cicadas in Tokyo seldom call.

This year in Tokyo the heat has been relentless, and opportunities to hear cicadas have become scarce.

Harmony and melodies are performed on the ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead and Rhodes.
The field recordings are re-recorded into the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field and transformed using its onboard filter and an ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-1 for additional processing."

Minimal Ambient Music with TENORI-ON | Fragmented Star 2025-07-30 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece for YAMAHA TENORI-ON, wavestick, and ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead. Minimal phrases scattered by delay blend with synth textures into a minimal ambient soundscape.

On the TENORI-ON, I switch blocks to morph the phrase. It’s routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II for delay, pitch-shifting, and occasional micro-loops.

The wavestick is pitch-controlled by using the ‪@KORG_INC‬ SQ-1 in STEP JUMP mode as a CV keyboard. Its output runs into ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY for reverb and delay.

The Nord Lead plays the harmony, with delay from ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus."

"A track built with ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, a modular synth, and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother—IDM driven by wildly shifting beats and modulation-rich stabs.

Modular drums: Two Mutable Instruments Plaits, an ‪@instruo‬ Instruō Cs-L, and a Basimilus Iteritas form the beat architecture.

Sequencing comes from a monome Grid and White Whale, with extra trigger multiplication/division via a 4ms Quad Clock Distributor (QCD).

Kick: Plaits through a ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬ QPAS filter, shaped by a Function envelope.
Metallic percussion: Another Plaits voice.
Tom-like hits: Layered Cs-L and Basimilus Iteritas.

"A piece created with the ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP‑1 field—ambient music where simple drones dissolve into radio noise.

Nord Lead: I play a slow‑attack pad, routing the output through ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS for reverb and delay.

OP‑1 field: Connected to ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY and GENERATION LOSS MK II while performing. Midway, I feed in a radio signal, shaping the noise in LOSSY.

"A piece created using the OP-1 field, YAMAHA CS01, and RX17—bringing together 80s drum machine beats and analog synth sounds.

The harmonies come from a ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, the bass from a ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother, and the arpeggiated parts from a ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead. All of these are triggered via MIDI from the DAW.

The RX17 is processed with reverb and delay using the ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS.

On the CS01, I play while applying reverb and flanger from the ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-3."

Tech House w/ nord lead, Prophet-10, TR-8S, Grandmother | Boundless 2025-02-21

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@rolandglobal‬ TR-8S, and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother. It’s a classic tech house track that progresses as the filters are opened and closed.

Except for the Prophet-10, everything is controlled via MIDI from the DAW.

On the Nord Lead, I play harmonies via MIDI while adjusting the filter.

The Prophet-10 is used to change the sound mid-performance, with pitch bend also utilized.

The TR-8S's rhythm is controlled via MIDI and mixed using Param Out. During recording, I control the snare's pitch to create variations.

The Grandmother is triggered via MIDI, with filter adjustments adding dynamics.

The sequence phrases in between are produced by the MOTIF-RACK ES."

Beat w/ OP-1 field, nord lead, Prophet-10, Moog One | No Clouds 2025-02-18 by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field. Modal harmonies are layered over a standard beat.

On the Moog One, I play the bass using a combination of MIDI control and live performance.

The Nord Lead produces modal harmonies, controlled via MIDI with manual filter adjustments on the hardware.

On the Prophet-10, I perform synth strings-like sounds by playing live, occasionally using modulation and pitch bend.

The beat on the OP-1 field is triggered via MIDI, with occasional use of its built-in filter effect (NITRO) and reverb from ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

The chorus vocals use Kasane Teto（重音テト）."
