Soviet RITM2 Repair
video upload by Really Nice Audio
"Join me on this nice repair of a RTM2 soviet era synthesiser.
The music in the video is from my ATMOS album 'Height Supremacy'.
This track has plenty of my own RITM2 on it.
When the power supply fails a great substitute is the Velleman project
https://whadda.uk/Item/velleman-k8042...
And if you experience the pitch gong flat no matter how you set the calibration, adding half a volt to the positive power rail can really help."

Making a Techno Rumble (and beat) | Plonk, Sealegs, Swells + More
video upload by Intellijel
"Here's our version of a techno rumble patch - using Plonk as our kick, Sealegs for saturation & delay, and Swells as our 'rumble' reverb. SWELL modulation comes in handy here for ducking the effects against the kick. We also explore some more elements afterwards to create a full techno patch, so stick around till the end.

3 Patches from 1 LFO | Vostok Halo
video upload by Braintree56
"In this video, I experiment with building a rack around the Vostok Instruments Halo—with no real plan going in.
I limited myself to just one LFO module. Not because I think that’s necessarily the best way to build a system, but because I wanted to see how far I could push the Halo and what I could get out of it."

Introducing Thorus XT

"Thorus XT - Extended Chorus Designer
https://www.uvi.net/thorus-xt
Discover Thorus XT, a state-of-the-art chorus effect offering the best of both digital and analog circuit-modeled techniques with up to 8 variable, fully continuous voices, and deeply shapable extended analog controls.
Also included in SonicPass ➡️ https://www.uvi.net/sonicpass"
A deep, flexible, state-of-the-art digital chorus, Thorus has long been one of UVI's best-selling effects. Thorus XT offers a brand new take, driven by advanced DSP and joined by a second engine that faithfully models the analog bucket-brigade circuits that chorus was born on. Two worlds, one plugin, from brilliant shimmer to grainy vintage modulation, and everywhere in-between.


Your Sound, Your Way
Both digital and analog engines run on the same morphable 8-voice architecture and the same set of controls. Set your modulation once, switch engines, and hear the identical movement through two very different paths, keep whichever one best suits the material.
Two Engines, Unified Control
Cutting-edge DSP drives a variable chorus architecture with continuous and morphable voice control; sweeping voices results in the last voice fading in and out smoothly, with no stepping. Speed and Depth shape the modulation, Shape sets its waveform as sine or triangle, Edge dials feedback and color, and Stereo Mode places the image. Fewer voices give pronounced, identifiable modulation; more voices blur the line into a thick, immersive wash.
Digital - Clean, Precise, Transparent
The digital engine is the Thorus chorus you know and love, refined. Clean, precise, prized for its clarity, now with a continuously variable voice count. Every voice reads a single shared delay line at interpolated positions, for a crystalline, detailed sound. When clean isn't the objective, Quality becomes a band-limited sample-rate reducer delivering a downsampled, lo-fi edge that stays musical where it counts.
Analog - Warm, Colored, Alive
The analog engine is a faithful bucket-brigade chip emulation, found in classic hardware units like the Dimension D, and Juno-6. Where the digital engine is clean by design, Thorus XT’s analog engine gives you the natural imperfections of hardware: aliasing, resonance, pumping compression, hiss, per-voice variation—all fully shapable through an extended control set.

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.2. Moog Subsequent 25, DFAM, Subharmonicon, Labyrinth | Synth Jam

SΞQMØDΞ Behringer Sessions
video uploads by SΞQMØDΞ
Playlist:
1. Behringer 2600 Gray Meanie meets Moog Sound Studio (DFAM, Subharmonicon, Labyrinth) | First Jam
Lately I picked up another synth... yeah, GAS hits hard 😅 My first jam with the Gray Meanie! I still remember loading up Arturia's ARP 2600 emulation years ago and thinking, "what is this shit?" I didn't understand anything back then. I gave up on it pretty quickly and forgot all about it. Later, I found out through deadmau5's MasterClass that it was the synth behind R2-D2's voice, which got me interested again... but only for a while.2. Trying to make the Behringer 2600 work with my Moog Sound Studio | Jam
Fast forward to now, I finally bought one and decided it's time to actually learn it. I think it'll be a great addition to my semi-modular setup. I'm really enjoying it so far! Behringer did a solid job with this one: the leds looks great, feels really well built, and works really well with my korg sequencer.
Anyway... hope you find this little noodling session interesting! 🤘🏻
Just a quick jam exploring this Behringer/Moog setup and seeing if they actually complement each other.3. Behringer 2600, KORG SQ-64, Moog Sound Studio (DFAM, Subharmonicon, Labyrinth) | Synth Jam
A lot of people say Behringer synths just don't belong next to Moogs... so yeah, I'm doing my best to make it work. :D
Hope you enjoy! 🤘🏻
Another quick jam using the Grey Meanie alongside the Moog Sound Studio. Hope you find it interesting! :D4. Behringer 2600 Gray Meanie | Noodling Session
btw, I’ve been struggling with free time lately, so you might’ve noticed I'm behind on comments.. But I'll catch up step by step! And of course, I’ll be checking out your jams too! Cheers, friends! 🤘🏻
Gray Meanie stuff... I really need to learn this synth, feeling quite lost while jamming, so yeah... This isn't even a jam, it's just a noodling session, trying things out with the Korg SQ-64...5. Paraphonic mode on Behringer 2600 | Noodling Session
Hope you find it interesting!
First time using the 2600 in duo mode. I used the Arturia MicroBrute strictly as a keyboard controller, there's no sound coming from it here. The whole thing is just a raw jam with a many mistakes, but I was having a blast. I really love how the 2600 sounds as a paraphonic synth and I was completely lost in the zone while noodling...
Hope you find it interesting!

Dark Vintage Roland Synths with SciFi video - by Benge
video upload by Memetune Studio
"zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/album/the-evolving-riddle-volume-two
Fifth and final video for another track from my new album, but I will be compiling them into a longer video soon so they are all in one place
This track is made on a vintage Roland SH5 (with special modular breakout-box), plus a modified Roland System 100. These are the best sounding Rolands ever made in my opinion - stuffed full of beautiful discrete early '70s circuits, before they started making their own proprietary sound chips. I also used a series of looper modules to construct the music in real time
You can watch the original performance here:
• Roland Ocean (Rocean) [posted here]
This video pays homage to yet another of my favourite science fiction illustrators Chris Foss, a British artist who, along with others in this series, worked on designs for the original Alien movie, as well as, amazingly, the spacecraft in Guardians of the Galaxy. He also designed loads of classic sci-fi book covers and art, even though he never read much sci-fi as apparently he didn't like it as a genre!
I have tried to bring his work to life in my own way by putting some of his images through the Memetune VideoLab. For more info about how I work in the VideoLab, check out my Memetune Programme series which ends each episode with a special VideoLab section where I go through the various processes I use (there are 18 episodes in total)
Enjoy!"

Huge Synth Sounds with Just 1 Oscillator
video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music
"A huge synth sound doesn’t always mean more oscillators.
In this video, I’ll show you how to get more size, character and impact from just ONE oscillator before you start stacking additional ones. By understanding how to shape and bring out what’s already there, you can create sounds that feel bigger while keeping them clear, focused and musical.
Sometimes the answer isn’t adding more it’s getting more out of what you already have.
If you want to go deeper into building powerful synth sounds from the ground up, check out Bass DNA."
OP-XY: A year on. It's 100% my favourite box ever by far. Trip-Hop Live Jam
video upload by Dan Chippendale
"So I looked at the calendar and low and behold, I got my OP-XY exactly a year ago (my first video was posted a few days later on the 28th Aug 25. This thing gets me. I get it. I don't know which way round but I'm now making music that matches my vision. I seem to be able to squeeze sounds out of it that I love and I grow to love it more and more each time. Thank you @teenageengineering for making such an incredible device and I look forward to the future of the OP-XY platform!
Hope you enjoy
