Synthetic Sound Labs Announces Wave Oracle™

Synthesizer module review of the the Wave Oracle video upload by Synthesizer Sound Design

"Synthetic Sound Labs Wave Oracle Model 1910

This video is a review of the 5U / MU multi-function module from Synthetic Sound labs - The Wave Oracle.

The Wave Oracle exists to inspire curiosity about signals—and creativity in what you do with them. Your synthesizer makes voltages, but you usually experience the result through your ears. Wave Oracle adds another way to explore: you can see what is happening while you listen.

Press release follows:

Synthetic Sound Labs announces Wave Oracle™, a multi-function signal visualization and learning instrument designed specifically for modular synthesizers. See and explore your sounds.

Wave Oracle™ combines oscilloscope, XY, spectrum analysis, tuning, metering, audio-responsive visualization and integrated learning functions in a single module. Four signal inputs allow several points in a synthesizer patch to remain connected simultaneously, with channel selection available within applicable modes.

Wave Oracle™ is designed to be easy to learn and use, without requiring a background in electronics or test equipment.

SCOPE
Wave Oracle™ can display signals from oscillators, envelopes, LFOs, modulation and complete voices.

The oscilloscope views these as voltage changing over time, revealing the actual shape and timing of a signal. Laboratory-style adjustable timebases, vertical scaling, positioning and triggering allow visualization and measurement of up to four independent synth signals at once.

XY
Plots two signals against one another to display phase and frequency relationships, modulation and Lissajous figures. XY uses Channels 1 and 2 as its X and Y signal sources.

FFT
Where SCOPE shows voltage over time, Wave Oracle™’s FFT modes reveal frequency content and how it changes over time. Multiple spectrum displays provide different views of fundamentals, harmonics, noise, filter response and the evolving spectral content of complex sounds and complete voices.

Automatic and manual display scaling accommodate signals ranging from individual oscillators to dynamic musical material.

TUNER
Measures frequency and musical pitch for oscillator tuning, matching pitches and checking oscillator tracking.

Moog Taurus Bass Pedals in Genesis Songs and more - The Legendary Prog Rock Sound!

video upload by RetroSound

"The legendary Moog Taurus Bass Pedals played a huge role in the powerful low-end sound of progressive rock — and Genesis used that sound in some truly iconic songs.

In this video, we take a closer look at the Moog Taurus bass pedal and its role in the Genesis and the Phil Collins, Steve Hackett solo works, exploring those deep, massive bass frequencies that became a signature of progressive rock.

From the classic Genesis era to the unmistakable sound of the Taurus pedals, we'll look at how these legendary analog bass pedals were used and why the Moog Taurus became such an important instrument in rock music.

If you're a fan of progressive rock, Moog synthesizers, analog synths, bass pedals or classic 1970s rock sounds, this video is for you.

🎧 Listen with headphones or a good sound system to really hear those deep Taurus frequencies!"

Jaap Vink and Recursive Sound

video upload by La Synthèse Humaine

"Jaap Vink was a technician and teacher at the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht from 1967 until his retirement in 1993. During that time he pioneered numerous techniques for the analog realization of dense electronic sounds and was a key collaborator of Roland Kayn in the 1970's and 1980's. Vink was always in search of sounds that would break the inherent periodicity of electronics, and found that feedback was the key.

This video is the first in a mini-series looking at Vink's techniques which were documented by the fantastic retrospective double LP on Recollections GRM."

Ring-Modulated Feedback in BEA5

video upload by MrSonology

"This video shows a feedback patch that includes a delay (Studer A80 tape recorder), a ring modulator, a reverb (Lexicon PCM 90) and a modified Bruel & Kjaer third-octave filter. The technique was developed by Jaap Vink in the 1970s at the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht and can be heard in works by many composers, particularly those of Roland Kayn.
This video is dedicated to Jaap Vink and was recorded and edited by Siamak Anvari."

Korg 03R/W - SynthCorner Presets (Sounds Only)

video upload by wolfgang S vukan

"Korg 03R/W - SynthCorner Presets (Sounds Only)

If you like these sounds, you can buy the complete 03R/W SysEx bank from me with all 80 presets for 10 Euros (contact me at: vukansto at gmail dot com).

So, this is an old KORG ROMpler from 1991, a cut-down version of the flagship 01R/W. The 03R/W has less sample ROM (5 MB vs. 6 MB on the 01R/W) and lacks the Waveshaping and Emphasis features. Korg named this digital synthesis engine AI2, which stands for Advanced Integrated Synthesis (second generation). The first AI generation was featured in the M1 and T series.

Actually, I planned to sell this 03R/W, but now I'm not so sure. It reminds me of some mystic, dark sounds I created on the T2ex that I sold a decade ago. Now, I have those similar sounds in a compact 1U rack unit.

Recorded directly form 03r/W audio output to Tascam DR05x recorder (24bit / 48 khz)

Korg 03R/W specifications:
32 polyphonic (16 poly in dual Osc mode presets)
8 parts multitimbral (16 parts in General MIDI mode)
255 multi samples (5mb ROM of 16bit samples)
Single or dual oscilator structure per program/preset
Digital low-pass filter (VDF) per oscillator
2x digital effects processor (reverb, delay, chorus, distortion, etc.)
229 programs-presets (100 RAM + 129 ROM GM) and 100 multi combinations
PCM and RAM data cards expansions
4 analog audio outputs"

9/15/26 (2050 test) 2050 + MFB OSC-02 & dual ADSR + Ladik S-143 & U-202 + CXM 1978 + MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"9/15/26 (2050 test) Jakub Jasiński 2050 + MFB OSC-02 & dual ADSR + Ladik S-143 & U-202 + CXM 1978 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

If you came for metallic falcon screams, jump to 1:19. This unbranded 2050 module was made custom by Jakub Jasiński for the previous owner. It’s plugged in a 4ms pod, but it’s getting 5v DC externally. It’s not a clone, but it seems to have been based on the Zerosum Inertia 6550-99, which is probably the greatest voltage controlled oscillator of all time. The Ladik S-143 (through the U-202 and multiplied) is sequencing the 2050 tune input and pulse input, as well as the MFB OSC-2 CV1. The triangle on the OSC-2 is running to the sync input on the 2050. An envelope from the MFB dual ADSR is running to the 2050 drive input. The delay is from the Peavey DDL-3 and the reverb was blended on CXM 1978."

Samplotron Keypad Version – DIY ESP32 Sampler & Loop Player | Live Demo

video upload by Illegal State Of Mind

"Meet the keypad version of Samplotron — my DIY hardware sampler and loop player built around the ESP32.

In this demo I’m using Samplotron to trigger samples and loops live. Some of the sounds are my own recordings, while others come from publicly available sample sources.

What you hear is the direct audio output from Samplotron — no post-processing, EQ, compression or additional effects were added to the recorded audio track.

You can also see another one of my DIY projects in action: a small oscilloscope I built, displaying the audio waveform in real time.

Error Instruments meets Torso Electronics: Evolving Soundscapes

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Welcome back to @abregegere! In this extended, explorative sound design session, I’m pairing the chaotic brilliance of the Speak & Glitch by Error Instruments with the deep processing power of the S-4 by Torso Electronics.

We start by establishing a gritty base sound on the Speak & Glitch, dialing in some fundamental compression and reverb on the S-4 to glue it together. From there, we dive into the deep end—leaning heavily into the S-4’s robust modulation capabilities to transform the audio into evolving, quasi-generative soundscapes.

This session is only lightly annotated to let the sound design speak for itself. Feel free to use the timestamps below to jump straight to the sweet spots!

Drum & Bass at Sunset 🌅 LIVE Electronic Hardware Session

video upload by imagination.project

"🌅 A new Drum & Bass live session performed at sunset by the Black Sea in Odesa, Ukraine.

Built live with Elektron Digitakt II, Digitone and Roland S-1 🎛️ — melodic DnB, deep bass, psychedelic synth textures and evolving hardware sequences.

This time I also brought Virus synth sounds into the track, adding a deeper psychedelic character to the mix. 🌀

Roland S-1 takes a special role in the transitions, creating wild evolving effects and sequences, while Digitakt II and Digitone drive the groove, bass and melodic layers.

🌊 One of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve captured for an Imagination.Project session — electronic music, psychedelic sound and the Black Sea coming together in one live performance.

Recorded on the Black Sea coast in Odesa, Ukraine. 🇺🇦"

Generative Soundscapes | Cyma Forma Rnd & Torso S-4 (Extended Sound Demo)

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"In this extended, unannotated sound demo, I’m using the Cyma Forma Rnd as a standalone generative synthesizer, processing its audio live through the Torso Electronics S-4.

🎛️ Routing & Setup:

• Track 1 (S-4): Acts as the main track for the Rnd.
• Track 2 (S-4): Heavily processed, functioning as an auxiliary send track for the Rnd to create vast textures.
• Tracks 3 & 4 (S-4): Occasionally bringing in a drum loop to anchor the generative chaos.

Note: The audio in this video was recorded live and then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools."

cyma forma/RND synth & Torso Electronics/S-4 Atmospheric Breaks erformance

video upload by 宮地楽器RPM シンセサイザーコーナー (旧Wurly's!)

"I tried combining the cyma forma RND synth with the Torso S-4!
All the synth sounds come from the RND, and the drums are played through the S-4.

By feeding the RND’s sound into the S-4 and applying granular effects in real time, the phrases sound even more dazzling!
It’s also convenient that I can power the RND directly from the S-4 via USB and sync MIDI between them!"
