Roland MKS-80 :: Warm Pads
video upload by Harry van Mierloo
"The Roland MKS-80 isn't known as a typical analog pad machine like the JX-8P or the MKS-70, but still its VCOs are capable of creating some wonderful pads. I couldn't find many pad demos of the MKS-80 online, because most demos contain the powerful analog sounds that the Jupiter-series is so famous for. So I decided to record a few soft pads chords on the MKS-80 for the synth community. As its output is mono, I've added a bit of chorus and reverb from the SQ-5 to spice up the pads.
Played using the Moog Voyager as an expensive MIDI controller using its mod wheel to control the filter, but the fact that you hear polyphonic sounds and see a blinking green MIDI on the blurry MKS-80 in background is the ultimate evidence that you actually hear the MKS-80. ;-)
Enjoy, I hope you'll like it!"
Roland JX-8P :: Warm Pads
video upload by Harry van Mierloo
"Testing a new Camlink-based camera setup. Just made my first JX-8P patch ever, so I thought I might as well record it at the same time. Strymon BigSky on reverb, recording using Elgato Cam Link 4K.
Disclaimer: I'm a sequencer-guy, so live playing is not my greatest asset. ;-)"
Roland JX-8P :: Neon Egg Planetarium 3 :: Ambient Pads
video upload by Harry van Mierloo
"Just received my Planetarium 3 from @neon_egg today and my first impressions are really good. Top quality reverb with flexible echo that can be used in both a super extreme and very subtle way, so highly usable and musical. I couldn't wait to send some soft warm ambient pads from my beloved Roland JX-8P through this nifty machine, and I decided to record a little video of it.
Didn't have cables available to place the Planetarium inside the camera view, but its exact reverb and echo settings are visible at the end of the video. As you can see the compressor was off... for now! 😅
Setup for the gear junkies: JX-8P connected directly to the Planetarium, and the Planetarium outputs directly to my recording device (A&H SQ-5)."
MDLR JAM 03 - Live 5U Modular Session
video upload by rimela
"A live-recorded modular improvisation shaped around a bleak, dystopian atmosphere. Phaser-washed Polysix pads set the mood. Clock and triggers come from the Roland TR-505, driving the system in sync.
Captured in one take – no edits, no overdubs – just the patch unfolding in real time."
Dreadbox Artemis

"It's been a long time coming, but here finally are my initial thoughts on Dreadbox's flagship analogue polysynth, the Artemis. Happy New Year 2026 !!!"
Under the Desk Sequencing Sessions - Episode 1
video upload by Alba Ecstasy
With the Moog Messenger.
"As the title suggests, Under the Desk Sequencing Sessions is intended to be a series of live recording sessions, directly on the floor, under my mixing desk!
I mean... half of the gear will be under the desk! I can't fit in there!
I will use minimal gear and most of the episodes will be just sequences. Or not. Why?
Why not!
Bust mostly because it is comfortable and reminds me of the days when I didn't had proper stands and a desk! Simple times!
Enjoy them!

video upload by STEHRÆON
"Melodic synthwave techno live jam performed on my full hardware setup.
That was the first time I used four synthesizers in parallel in a live session. Rig: Novation Peak, Korg Minilogue XD, MicroMonsta2, Waldorf Blofeld, Roland TR-6S, Novation Circuit Tracks (sequencing only), recorded raw to Tascam Model 12.
All performed live, no DAW, no edits."

"I don't know what I was thinking. At the time, I liked how the Prophet sounded, so I recorded this. But it’s not very good.

ROLAND TR-1000 [01] // LØSTLVLS
video upload by LØSTLVLS
"Learning to harness the full potential of this incredible machine - what it can do with samples, how to make creative use of layers, control knobs and morph parameters.
The analogue drive paired with the analog voices is bliss!
Check out my sample packs on Bandcamp - loads of vintage and modern gear (leaning towards drum machines) with kits, sample chains and presets. All ethically-sourced and locally-grown here in the lab in Bristol, UK: https://lostlvls.bandcamp.com/"
"Racing the Edge at Mach GoGoGo" - Live MIDI synths. Akai MPX, iConnectivity mioXL.

"'Racing the Edge at Mach GoGoGo'
This music was recorded live late afternoon on Saturday December 27 2025 using a MIDI sequencer and a room full of synthesizers.
Inspired by a 60's cartoon series.
Music was sequenced and automated with a Akai MPC X sequencer and a iConnectivity mioXL MIDI router.
Audio was mixed through a Midas Venice F24 mixer into a MOTU Ultralite mk5 audio interface.
The following devices were used to for drums and percussion layers.
Korg Radias, Roland SH4d, Electron Analog Rytm Mk II, Novation BassStation II."
