Redshift 6 - Acid House

video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"In this demo, we create some chill ’90s acid house sounds using the Redshift 6, exploring its different Characters and internal sequencer. All synth sounds come from the Redshift 6, and everything is sequenced using its internal sequencers.

00:00 Intro
00:15 Creating the Pad
02:28 Sequencing the Pad
06:00 Bass synth
08:13 Sequencing the Bass line
10:12 Creating the Acid Synth
11:28 Sequencing the Acid Synth
14:40 Creating the Lead Synth
16:20 Sequencing the Lead Synth
20:05 Polyrhythmic Sequences
21:55 The Demo Jam

Redshift 6 features an analogue 4-pole multimode filter whose behaviour changes depending on the selected Character.

The Characters cover different analogue filter responses:

Liquid – Classic -24 dB filter with a wide sweet spot and smooth, spacey resonance
Crisp – Bright -12 dB State Variable Filter
Fat – Classic -24 dB ladder filter
Mean – Highly unstable -12 dB filter with bad behaviour and distortion
Sour – -18 dB squelchy Silver Box filter

Characters affect the behaviour of the whole synthesizer, including filter response, oscillator drift, and envelope behaviour."

1 hour chill synth jazz improv on Novation Circuit Tracks

video upload by Synthesaurus Rex

"Yay! Finally, I don't have to play anything by myself anymore! Just press start and stop. And no, it's no masterpiece and very lazy and repetetive, I think it's interesting that every single beat in that whole hour is unique and different from the next - it never repeats. Same goes for the visuals: especially the lava lamp makes it that every single frame in that video also is unique. Although no AI was used in this production, IT was heavily involved: the second track of the NCT plays its notes randomized. So what's the difference between this and using AI? Well, at least I (a human being) gave the NCT a group of notes and chords to play randomly, instead of just typing something into a prompt. Also, it's a test: will a long video like this, playing interchangeable background muzak, perform better than my other stuff? And to the fellow Circuiteers: the patch you are hearing is my attempt at creating some kind of a piano-like sound on the NCT. If you want me to share that, let me know in the comments."

Making a lo-fi track with just one cheap synth

video upload by vekoni

"I limited myself using only Stylophone Beat with Loopy Pro to make a chill lo-fi track. This little drum machine can also do neat bass sounds, which I've used to create a melody over the recorded beat.

I was usually using the Beat exactly as intended: punching in notes with its built-in sequencer (which is quantized), then jam over it with a synth or a guitar (so basically it was a groovy metronome for me). This time I wanted to try something new and use it exclusively to create something "off the grid", so I've played the Beat freely and looped it. With the use of some great effects I managed to elevate the sounds of this unit."

Playlist:

1. Practice session | Moog DFAM, Subharmonicon, Labyrinth

I’ve been too busy recently to come up with any music this weekend, so I only had a moment for a short practice session. I wasn't sure at first, but yeah... I’m uploading this just to show my process of searching for something meaningful. Sometimes you just need to sit down at your synthesizers, tweak some knobs, and even if nothing mindblowing comes out right away, it pays off in the long run. In the end, it always turns out to be worth it.

Maybe someone will find this video interesting! Cheers! 🤘🏻

A DARK CINEMATIC Music Performance | SOMA TERRA | Exploration: 35 | PATIENCE IS THE GAME

video upload by Rick Hopkinson

"The Dirty Mirror takes these two behemoths of sonic perversion and adds an extra layer of nasty – using the core circuit of our Coma Reactor Eurorack module.

This three footswitch, 15 knob pedal looks complicated – but it’s not:

The BURN Channel (left side) is based on our Chemical Burn circuit, a nastier FY-6 variant.

The CHURN channel (right side) is based on a heavily modded Big Muff Pi.

There is a short delay circuit before the fuzz circuits.

Both the fuzz circuits can switch between the input sound, 100% wet delayed sound or a blend of wet and dry.

The fuzz circuits are then mixed in parallel into a high-headroom output section.

For added sickness, the delay time can be modified by an envelope follower or LFO.

Choose your filthy reflection – from straight dual parallel fuzz textures, to seasick vibrato to long slow quasi-chorus phasey apocalyptica.

The delay can be used on its own for slapback, chorus and vibrato effects.

Yes, it can get very noisy.
No, you can’t do anything about it - so weep in pain and pleasure, and submit to the swarms of square waves that joyfully fill your room.""'Patience is the game' is a live improvised cinematic ambient performance on the Soma Terra synthesiser; a deep and evolving journey through dark, cinematic ambient soundscapes.

Cinematic ambient music, dark atmospheric soundscape, experimental synthesiser performance, Soma Terra improvisation, ambient drone music.

This is my 35th cinematic ambient exploration in the Sanctuary series.... This time it's played on the Soma Terra synth by @somasynths
I keep coming back to this synth!

Behringer 2-XM Patches: Vintage Bass, Lead, Pluck Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Analog Classics is a collection of 50 Patches for the semi-modular synthesizer Behringer Model 2-XM. The collection features 50 Patches, including 20 leads, 15 basses, and 15 plucks.

💾 This soundset offers iconic sounds found in many electronic tracks, ranging from vintage to modern styles. It includes musical solo timbres, plucks, and basses that can easily fit into any track or live performance.
Plucks are excellent for use with arpeggiators or sequencers. You may integrate your preferred arpeggiators or sequencers from your DAW or MIDI controllers.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/2-xm...

🎨 The presets cover a wide sonic palette, including warm, noisy, detuned, distorted, as well as soft, clean, punchy, dark, bright, deep, and airy tones.

🥁 These presets are versatile and suitable for a wide range of genres, including ambient, electronica, IDM, deep techno, house, progressive, trance, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, cinematic, breaks, synthwave, retrowave, dub, and more.

📚 The soundset is provided as a PDF document, with each page containing detailed notes that explain how each patch works, which parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to evolve the timbre during a performance. By following these notes and making adjustments consciously, you’ll not only get the most out of the patches but also gain a deeper understanding of the synth itself, uncovering its full potential and creative depth.

🎧 Each patch comes with an audio example to help you understand how the timbre is intended to sound, making it easier to integrate into your productions.

💡 I added pads and drum loops to the video demo to place the presets in a musical context.
These drums and pads are not included in the soundset."

Knobcon 2025 Live Performances

video uploads by The Breathalyzer (Shawn Johnson Music)

A few Knobcon performances spotted and sent my way via Musical Miscellany (Poorness Studios).

Playlist: 1. Knobcon 2025 - Welcome Reception Set

Shortly after my arrival/check-in, I was asked if I could do a live set to open the Welcome Reception (the first live performances that open the annual Knobcon synth event). Just when you thought it was safe to go outside...in the big tent. Sorry for the bad camera work, everything was last minute, I didn't even have all the cabling I needed with me, lol. thanks to Brian Kupferschmid for the thumbnail photo

2. The Entire Robot Knobcon 2025 Welcome Reception (2:14)

Love Jeremy's soloing

3. The Entire Robot Knobcon Welcome Reception (3 minutes of blissful funk)

YEAH, MAN!

4. Chris Kuborn Afternoon Abstract Knobcon 2025

sorry for the obstruction there, here's Chris' complete performance (room audio). My room microphone was probably a little close, so the steel drum has a lot of presence.

5. TotoRobyn (Robyn Alman) Knobcon 2025 Afternoon Abstract

Live set from the Chill Out room at Knobcon

6. Brian Kupferschmid Afternoon Abstract Knobcon 2025

Very cool atmospheric/ambient guitar set from Brian.

7. Caro Arroba Knobcon 2025 Chill Out Room Set

8. Synsor (Steve McQuarry) Live at Knobcon 2025 Chill Out Room Set

The room audio was captured on a separate device, so it might not be syncrhonized with the video. The video freezes towards the end...low battery got me.

Bad Gear - Why did they do this???

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-h*ted audio tools. In a time before Volcas, the Clone Wars and Moog becoming just another specimen in InMusic’s butterfly collection the granddaddy of synth brands brought an instrument to the market that can be considered the blueprint for the music tech landscape to come.

Today we are going to talk about Minitaur. This 2012 analog mono synth and domesticated modern take on the iconic Taurus bass foot pedals of 70s prog rock fame not only comes with the pitch range of a Bob Dylan harmonica solo, it will also keep you glued to your computer screen like their CPU-munching Mariana plugin. Why did they do this?

4k Redwood Forrest with rhythmic electronic music

video upload by Saul Stokes - Frequensea

"Expansion was composed in 2018, before a Star's End Gathering performance I did in Philadelphia. The music was intended as a complimentary bonus album for the audience. It's remained obscure, likely also due to the cover, which was drawn by my daughter and is very atypical of electronic music. Expansion has some really chill electronic beats that are unique due to many of them being processed through an old tape recorder. During this time of my life, I was doing a lot of non-multitrack recordings, where I would live mix to compact flash cards in one go. I'm going to be honest and say that the original album had lots of squeaky synth solo work that was a bit too improvised for me. For this Redwood forest video, I performed extensive splicing to remove some of the worst offenders. I think this cut is much cooler with the result being more chill.

The video was created in the Redwood Forest of Reinhardt, Oakland, California. It's an absolutely stunning forest just a few minutes from the city. I had to jump off the main trail onto a small hiking path and then hide the camera. As soon as I left, dancing insects came out in force. If you listen closely, you'll hear some fairies talk in a few portions of the album. Watch the sun slowly move across the plantlife."
