Puremagnetik Etches | Getting Started
video upload by
"Etches Tutorial Series — Playlist Summary
A six-part walkthrough of Etches, covering every control on the instrument and how the sections work together. Watch in order if you're starting out, or jump to a specific video to reference a particular feature.
Etches is a touch-controlled synthesizer with FM oscillator, tape-style delay, stereo reverb, and an 160-second recorder. The series moves from setup through performance: power and calibration first, then articulation, sound design, effects, tuning, and finally the recorder.
**What's covered across the series:**
1. **Getting Started** — Power, stereo output, how the touch-resistive pads respond, SWELL as volume control, and calibrating SENS to your environment.
2. **The Articulation Pads** — STAC for plucked envelopes, DRIVE as combined overdrive and FM intensifier, INVERSE for parameter drift across seven destinations.
3. **The Oscillator** — FM synthesis basics, EDGE waveshape morphing, CYCLE for pluck character, and the FLUX/ORBIT pair that controls FM depth and rate.
4. **Effects** — Tape-style delay with self-oscillation, stereo reverb (SUSTAIN, FORM, WALLS), and the default signal flow through the instrument.
5. **Tuning** — ROOT for tonic, SCALE for quantization across twelve built-in scales, INDEX/SHIFT for ±4 octaves of transposition.
6. **The Recorder** — Splices vs. loops, REC and OVERDUB, the START/END loop window, TRAVEL as LFO modulation of loop points, SCROLL between splices, BLEND and SPEED, and the two routing modes.
By the end of the series, you'll have a working understanding of every knob and pad on Etches and how to combine them into musical gestures and full pieces.

From Harsh To Mellow: Oberheim TEO-5 Synthesizer
video upload by Insect O.
"I played the Oberheim TEO-5 polysynth at Superbooth in Berlin. This synth goes from harsh, aggressive textures to warm, mellow tones with ease — especially suited for techno and electronic music production. The onboard effects sound great, the crunchy saturation adds serious character, and the classic SEM filter delivers that unmistakable Oberheim flavor. Through-zero FM opens up even more experimental and metallic sound design possibilities."

Moog MuRF feedback
video upload by Todd Barton
"Today I got a question on this old video of my about my Res EQ feedback patch here • Serge ResEQ Feedback [posted here]
They were wondering if there was a non-modular guitar pedal that would do the same. The only pedal like that that I have is my vintage MoogerFooger MuRF pedal...so here goes it. MuRF Left output to its Audio input, Right output to Amp.
p.s. these pedals are expensive and discontinued . . . while not a fan of Behringer I do see they, of course, have made a less expensive knockoff."

Turning the Perkons HD-01 Into a Drone Synth
video upload by Mark Cee
"Drone sounds never really appealed to me until I started studying textures. Over time I became drawn to the idea — and to the tools used to compose this way. What I didn't realize is that I've had a very capable drone synth right under my nose for the last 3 years.
The Perkons HD-01 is usually known as a drum machine, but each voice is so much more which makes it great for sustained, evolving textures. I tuned each voice and sent it all through my Meris Mercury X for reverb. I couldn't help adding a few notes from the OP-1 Field on top. After that I just jammed and was reminded how the simplicity of an instrument like this never grows old. It's been my buddy since the day it was released and still brings me a lot of joy to this day."

OXI One MK2 Update: New Sequencers Domino and Saga at Superbooth 2026
video upload by Insect O.
"At Superbooth I had to stop at the Oxi Instruments booth to say hello to Manu and his team and to check out the latest updates for the Oxi One sequencer. I got a closer look at the new sequencer modes Domino and Saga. The decoupling of trigger events from note events is a great idea.
The Oxi One has become the central sequencing hub in my studio. It allows me to combine CV and gate sequencing for modular synths with MIDI gear like the Prophet 6, Jomox Alphabase and the Access Virus A. A great surprise was discovering that someone from the Oxi community created a custom MIDI CC mapping for my very first synth — the Acces Virus A — which I bought more than 25 years ago."

From Strega to 0-Coast: Happy Patching With Make Noise At Superbooth 2026
video upload by Insect O.
"In this video I’m exploring a compact Make Noise setup live at Superbooth 2026, patching from 0-Coast into Strega, all driven by the 0-CTRL sequencer.
It was a pleasure to meet Walker and Peter. Their videos inspire joy and encourage you to experiment with modular synthesis yourself. Beside giving an in depth explaination of their new NUSS system Peter told me, it´s also 10 years anniversary of the 0-coast. I celebrate the 0-day with a little jam session. To quote Walker 'thanks for watching and happy patching'."
Noise Meditaton with VHIKK X by Forge Time At Superbooth 2026
video upload by Insect O.
"Finally I had the chance to play with the VHIKK X drone oscillator at Superbooth 2026.The VHIKK X is produced by Australian company Forge Time. In this session I explore its deep drones, unstable textures, and evolving atmospheres. The VHIKK X has a very raw and organic sound that constantly shifts and surprises.
Headphones recommended."

Buchla Ziggy Desktop Synth Patch at Superbooth 2026
video upload by Insect O.
"A spontaneous random session with the new Buchla Ziggy desktop synthesizer at Superbooth 2026 in Berlin. Exploring generative textures, experimental modulation, evolving sequences and raw Buchla sound design. The sound I´m tweaking is just from a preset.
The Ziggy is a standalone desktop synthesizer inspired by classic analog complex oscillators, featuring low pass gates, cycler modulation, built-in effects, and preset storage.'
