Key Solution Sounds "TRAVELER" - Can it do Progressive Trance?

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds and KeySolutions Sounds

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

Since my TRAVELER teaser went live, I have been asked a number questions regarding it's flexibility, ease of use, and overall sound.

Yes it can do beautifully epic scoring pads and stunning leads but that is not all, it is such a workhorse of a synth, and I believe future users will be using it in most of their productions.

I put this short track together, just to let you good folks hear just how well it does dance music.

Synthesizers.com had a 4th of July sale, right after we moved our ElectroComp EML 400 above the 401, so we got two Box11 cases to house 5U modules to aid the EML system. I covered the ugly Box11 logos with electrical tape, connected the two cases with a metal brace, then attached a Box4 case to the right side, which perfectly fills the whole gap between racks on either side of the EML system. Anyways, this was the first test. The EML 200 master square wave is controlling the tempo, and I switch the range at 0:22. The EML Sampler is sampling noise, and the Sampler out is multiplied on the Box11, modulating both EML VCOs, which run to the Synthetic Sound Labs 1520 Segwencer IV, modulated by the Sampler output. VCO 1 also runs to the EML VCA, modulated by the master sine wave, and that goes straight to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, panned left. The 1520 audio out goes through the STG soundlabs Sea Devils Filter, modulated by the Free State FX Dual Trigger Processor in LFO mode, and the Sea Devils Filter is FM’d by the EML 200 VCO2. A copy of VCO2 is processed by the Corsynth C103 Frequency Divider / Multiplier, which drops the pitch an octave lower, and that detuned version runs through Free State FX Lowpass Gate, modulated by the EML 200 master square wave through the Trouby Modular Trigger Decay. Both the Sea Devils Filter output and the FSFX Lopass Gate output are mixed in the muSonics Vanilla Filter, modulated by the other LFO output on the FSFX Dual Trigger Processor (Modulation in) and the EML Sampler output (v/o in). At the end I pull the cable from the sampler. Reverb was blended on the CXM 1978."

North American Electronic Sound Expo Set for April 2027 at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Cleveland

"A three-day expo for hardware synths, modular gear, software, controllers, accessories, and the people who make them. Built community-first, in the heart of Cleveland."

North American Electronic Sound Expo to Hold Its Exhibitor Welcome Reception at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

The inaugural NAESE opens Year 1 at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on Thursday, April 8, 2027, the evening before its public expo floor opens.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 26, 2026. The North American Electronic Sound Expo (NAESE), a new three-day expo for electronic-sound instruments and the people who make and play them, will hold its inaugural Exhibitor Welcome Reception at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday, April 8, 2027, the evening before its public expo opens April 9-11 at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland.

Built community-first, NAESE is for the makers who build the instruments, the developers who code them, the artists who perform on them, and the people who love them. It spans four pillars: TOUCH (the expo floor), SHARE (sessions, panels, and workshops), HEAR (performances), and PLAY (open jam spaces).

The Exhibitor Welcome Reception gathers the makers, developers, and manufacturers exhibiting at NAESE for a chance to meet and network the evening before the public floor opens, on The Bridge, the museum’s Level 3 event space overlooking the Cleveland skyline. Exhibitors have complimentary access to the museum’s exhibits that evening, before and after the reception.

For NAESE’s founder, who now lives in New York, Cleveland is a homecoming.

“Honestly, I still can’t quite believe we get to do this,” said Greg Kefalas, NAESE’s founder and executive producer. “I’m from Canton, so Cleveland is where my first big live music gigs were, and now Year 1 opens at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the night before the floor does. The people who solder this gear, code it, and play it are doing some of the most exciting work in music right now. Bringing NAESE to Cleveland and opening the weekend by welcoming them to the Hall felt exactly right.”

“Every one of these makers, from the biggest names to the one-person shops, is building something worth celebrating,” said co-founder Mike Weakley. “Kicking NAESE’s first year off with them at the

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is exactly how it should be. At NAESE the makers come first, and this is us proving it.”

The Exhibitor Welcome Reception is for NAESE exhibitors and is not a public event. All NAESE badge holders receive $5 off adult Rock & Roll Hall of Fame admission from two days before the expo through two days after. The public expo runs April 9-11, 2027 at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland, and badges are on sale now at naese.co.

KNOBCON FOURTEEN GUEST OF HONOR & an Update on Workshops and Informative Sessions

via KNOBCON

"We are delighted to announce Terry Michaels as our esteemed guest of honor. Join us at the annual banquet for his keynote address and to help us honor him.

Terry Michaels, AKA Terry Mikulic, designed the seminal relaxation-core oscillator published in Electronotes 62 by Bernie Hutchins: the highly accurate ENS-76. It is the most influential analogue oscillator design of the modern era. This circuit became the heart of hundreds of synthesisers, including Gene Stopp’s ASM-1, the Synthesizers.com Q106, and the muSonics Vanilla Oscillators. Through his synthesizer work, Terry founded a laser light show company called Laser Artistry in 1976. The company operated as one of America's elite laser show outfits until its final performance on December 31, 1999.

The annual catered banquet will be held Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 7pm in the Sapphire Pavilion. Tickets are available as an add-on to your Knobcon attendance. Seating is limited."

Soundtoys SIGNALS: Don Slepian

video upload by soundtoys

"We recently welcomed Don Slepian to Soundtoys HQ for an intimate performance and conversation as part of our Signals series.

Slepian has been exploring the possibilities of electronic music since long before most of its current vocabulary existed. An American composer, performer, and sound designer, his early work at Bell Labs placed him at the intersection of music and emerging digital technology. In the decades since, he has developed a singular approach to live electronic performance, combining improvisation, real-time synthesis, custom instruments, and immersive sound.

Watching that work unfold in our space was something special. Don is not simply a pioneer of electronic music, but an artist who has remained relentlessly curious about what electronic instruments can do—and, more importantly, what they can express.

Signals is an ongoing performance series at Soundtoys HQ in Burlington, Vermont, dedicated to artists working at the edges of music, improvisation, sound, and technology. Each performance is followed by a conversation and audience Q&A, creating a rare opportunity to hear not only the work, but the ideas and processes behind it.

It was an honor to have Don join us. Follow Don’s work through his website (https://donslepian.com), Bandcamp (https://donslepiannumero.bandcamp.com..., and Instagram ( / don_slepian."

Mod Lanes Deep Dive: Turning Simple Into Organic

video upload by OXI Instruments

"A simple chord progression built from a basic Novation Peak patch gets pushed into something far more organic and alive — using nothing but the OXI One mkII's 8 modulation lanes.
Each lane runs at a different clock division and targets a unique MIDI CC destination on the Peak, layering subtle, evolving movement across filter, envelope, and oscillator parameters. What starts as a static, basic sound slowly transforms into something textured, breathing, and unpredictable — without touching a single knob on the synth itself. A real-time look at how far modulation alone can take a simple patch."

The Cars - Hello Again | 80s Vintage Synth Cover | Moog Prodigy & Oberheim OB-Xa

video upload by RetroSound

"The Cars – Hello Again recreated with authentic 80s vintage synthesizers and drum machines. Originally released on the iconic 1984 album Heartbeat City and written by Ric Ocasek.

For this cover I used the Moog Prodigy for the bass and sync lead sounds, while the Oberheim OB-Xa provides the lush pads and organ textures. Drums are created with the iconic LinnDrum, with additional percussion from the E-mu Emulator II.

If you love The Cars, 80s New Wave, Synth Pop, Vintage Analog Synthesizers, and classic electronic music, this performance is for you.

Gear Used
• Moog Prodigy – Bass & Sync Lead
• Oberheim OB-Xa – Pads & Organ
• LinnDrum – Drums
• E-mu Emulator II – Percussion

This cover is a tribute to the incredible production and atmosphere of the original recording, combining authentic 1980s synthesizers, sampler technology, and classic drum machines.

The goal of this production was to recreate the authentic sound and atmosphere of the mid-1980s using original hardware instruments."

MATRIARCH + TAKE 5 + MAGNETO | Live Synth Performance #37 (DEPARTURE)

video upload by David Falcon

"This last few months I've been downsizing a lot in the studio, while focusing on creating a compact system within the Eurorack. Have lots of redundancies and gear that I haven't been using much. Now has been the time for the Sequential Pro 3. I used it a lot in some projects, but the last two years has been gathering dust, so it was time for it to find a new home.

Still trying to find the perfect balance. However I find these these two, the Moog Matriarch and the Sequential Take 5 , so inspiring that I hardly see myself parting with any of them. My plan is to pair the modular with the Matriarch more in the future, so we will see.
Also the Magneto is growing on me, I loved the Strymon dTape sound from the Timeline, but this one is AMAZING. Takes anything to a whole different sound world.

Lastly, I used Rings into FX Aid (Gen Loss algorithm) for the bass sound.

Mastered in Ableton.

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."
