Kick & Bass Dialogue Programming | Full Workflow

video upload by Vadjuse

"What if the conflict between the kick and the bass wasn't something to fix, but something to compose with?

In this video, I build a self-interacting kick and bass patch from scratch using Kaleidoscope. Instead of relying on randomization, automation, or sidechain compression, the two voices constantly respond to each other through a network of feedback and modulation.

You'll see how to:
Design the kick and bass sounds
Program the rhythmic patterns
Connect the instruments so they influence each other
Explore how simple interaction rules create evolving grooves

The result is a system that feels alive. Every change to the drive, envelope release, or filter resonance changes the behavior of the entire patch.

This is the core idea behind Kaleidoscope: don't just design sounds—design the relationships between them.

If you're interested in generative music, experimental synthesis, modular workflows, or new approaches to sound design, this video is for you.

Vintage Vocoder w/ Bigfoot Music Sticker on Back

This one was spotted and sent in via
M Me.

"Superb vintage Vocoder unit.

Unable to find out much information online about this to be honest - there's a 'Bigfoot Music' sticker on the back, but I'm pretty certain that was probably a shop rather than the maker.

I have tested the 'Speech' side and it was all working fine, sounds great!

I couldn't get a sound from the right side (ex.) but I'm no expert on these so maybe it's just a case of flipping the correct switch.

I also haven't tested the rear inputs/(outputs?) as I'm not sure what they're for.

Great chance to own a rare piece of vintage music gear!"

"A quick jam with the JX-3P and the Juno-6.
It's very interesting that I find the sequencer on JX-3P to be the most usable sequencer I've ever came across."

Emax vs Emax II | Are they really that different?

video upload by Espen Kraft

"My sound patches: https://espenkraft.com
This video have no real purpose. Gear wankers will love it, because, well... because they get off on stuff like this.
Hoarders will love it because they have that disease.
Musicians won't care much because they use whatever sounds good for the music they're working on."

Moog Source vs The River 2

video upload by Laurent Baloran

"Premiers sons du prototype quatre voix de The River 2, en comparaison avec le Moog Source. À l’évidence, The River 2 conserve le son de son ancêtre, mais apporte plein de choses en plus ;)

First sounds from the four-voice The River 2 prototype, compared with the Moog Source. It’s clear that The River 2 retains the character of its ancestor while bringing a whole lot more to the table ;)

PS : The crackling sounds aren't coming from The River 2, and the “plops” that occur during sound transitions will be gone in prototype 2 ;)"
