Skrillex - KYOTO // Launchpad Cover
video upload by Kaskobi
"Some stats:
Successful attempt achieved after 7h35m of recording, then saving & deleting 784GB of mostly unusable footage. This is the first ever Launchpad Project to make use of my new plugin, Resonator 4. More info coming soon to kaskobi.com
---------------------------------------------
-- Important note regarding the audio used in this performance video --
All audio displayed in this video is controlled by the Launchpad. Everything you see can be independently verified against the downloadable project file to ensure a legitimate performance. The video shows a rendered version of the MIDI which was played during the recording, MIDI which directly ties to the audio track inside Ableton Live to launch all of the samples you hear.
This project file may contain artificially extracted audio samples such as drums, vocals, synths, and more. All audio was sourced ethically and if stems were provided to me, I can verify that I have permission to share the audio files. Otherwise, the audio has been extracted using publicly available tools out of respect for the privacy of the samples used by the original producer. Some tools used may use artificial intelligence to provide a more accurate result. However, where these tools are used, no generative models are used to create something that did not previously exist. I aim to honour the artist's original work by only using stems extracted using machine learning/artificial intelligence, or produce new samples, never to generate something new using AI.

STIGMA // Raw Analog Destruction & Tube Self-Oscillation #eurorack #modularsynth #synthesizer
video upload by Arcaico Instruments
"STIGMA is not just a module: it is a destructive, versatile analog sonic organism, powered by real vacuum tubes and designed to disrupt your Eurorack ecosystem.
Built with a flexible True Stereo and Dual Mono architecture, STIGMA offers total control over signal routing, allowing you to process independent sources or shape the stereophonic space with dense, harmonically rich tube saturation.
From Signal Processor to Pure Synthesizer
While STIGMA is designed to filter, mangle, and brutally distort any external source (drum machines, oscillators, full mixes), it also hides an autonomous and unpredictable soul.
By driving the filter into self-oscillation, the module transforms into a fully-fledged solo synthesizer or a formidable percussive sound generator. By modulating the resonance and leveraging the lightning-fast response of its circuitry, STIGMA can sculpt devastating kicks, metallic toms, and thick, industrial percussive textures, saturated directly by the tube stage.
Key Features:
True Stereo & Dual Mono: Two completely independent tube channels for maximum routing flexibility.
Warmth & Destruction: A tube saturation and distortion stage to go from subtle analog warmth to harsh, destructive clipping.
Advanced Filtering: Analog filters molded around the tube character, capable of cutting through the mix or screaming when pushed to the limit.
Self-Oscillation & Percussive Engine: Generate heavy kicks, industrial toms, and unique percussive sounds by using the circuit's self-oscillation as a sound source.
Eurorack Interface: Integrated CV controls for total, dynamic interaction with the rest of your modular system."
STIGMA – A Stop Motion Short Film by Arcaico #stopmotion #synthesizer #modularsynth #eurorack
video upload by Arcaico Instruments
""Every instrument has a manual.
STIGMA has a story."
This short film explores the world surrounding STIGMA, not through technical explanations, but through atmosphere, symbolism and imagination.
Created entirely in stop motion, this short film marks the beginning of STIGMA's journey into the world.
Every set was handcrafted using reclaimed materials, and every movement was animated frame by frame through thousands of individual photographs.
At Arcaico, we believe that instruments can be more than tools.
They can become artifacts, carrying stories, symbols and worlds waiting to be explored.

DUAL LOOPABLE RANDOM VOLTAGE GENERATOR | TEIA Synthesizers DriftLog
video upload by DANIELE
"TEIA Synthesizers DriftLog is a dual-channel random voltage generator that transforms chaos into playable modulation. Generate, loop, lock and sculpt evolving CV with controllable slope, shape, probability and clock-synced randomness!"

"The DriftLog from Teia Synthesizers is a dual-channel random voltage generator designed to generate, capture, and reshape random voltages in real time. he two channels—A and B—produce independent voltages, but share a set of shaping controls, namely Slope for morphing between stepped and smooth voltages and Shape for sculpting the curvature of the voltages. There's also a 3-position switch that changes the range of the Shape control from Arc to Peak, Exponential rise to exponential fall, and Bezier ease in to ease out. Each channel can be switched into Loop mode, which allows it to record and replay a selectable portion of its random history using dedicated Start and Length controls.

synthesizer-service.de: Test after service & repair: ARP 2600
video upload by Jörg Schaaf
"I have been offering a synthesizer repair service since December 2025. While I had previously only occasionally breathed new life into the odd instrument, the closure of Radikal Technologies GmbH sparked a desire to find a way to continue pursuing my passion for synthesizers. When you have been personally involved in synthesizer development, the repair process constantly triggers moments of déjà vu alongside new insights. That exciting moment when an instrument is finished and invites you to play it again makes up for the days of work often poured into it.
This ARP 2600 had a variety of issues. The keyboard was in poor condition—with some broken contact springs—the voltage processor wasn't working, the oscillator scaling was terrible, all the faders were scratchy, and tuning the oscillators was an ordeal.
But time and love heal all wounds. Doesn't it sound great? The ARP 2600 is an absolute classic, and its sound possesses plenty of character, warmth, and precision.

MARS Vacuum-Tube Synthesizer: The Most Aggressive Modern Synth I've Ever Tested

"What happens when you build a vacuum tube-based hybrid synthesizer in a Soviet space lab and send it back from the future? Today we’re demoing, reviewing, and explaining MARS from Eternal Engine Electronic Musical Instruments — one of the strangest, most beautiful, and most aggressive modern synthesizers I’ve ever played.
MARS is often described as a four-voice polyphonic tube synthesizer, but architecturally it’s more accurately a paraphonic synthesizer. The four digital oscillator voices can be played across multiple notes, but they all share the same tube-based filter and vactrol-based amplifier. That puts MARS more in the tradition of instruments like the Korg Mono/Poly and Formanta Polivoks than a conventional analog polysynth.
In this video, I walk through the full architecture of the Eternal Engine MARS: the digital oscillator section, mono / duo / poly voice modes, pulse-width modulation, ensemble mode, FM synthesis, modulation matrix, envelopes, LFO, sample & hold, the gorgeous Nixie lamp interface, the resonant vacuum tube filter, and the asymmetric tube overdrive that gives this synth its raw, snarling character.
This is not a safe, polite, modern analog synth. MARS is boutique, unusual, heavy, beautifully built, and absolutely vicious when pushed. The tube filter and drive section give it a sound that feels alive in a way most modern synthesizers don’t — somewhere between vintage analog synth, industrial bass machine, experimental sound design box, and Soviet sci-fi artifact.
If you’re into industrial music, EBM, darkwave, synthwave, experimental electronic music, vintage synthesizers, boutique synths, tube distortion, paraphonic synthesis, analog filters, FM basses, PWM pads, or Polivoks-style aggression, MARS is worth hearing.
I also talk through who I think this synth is actually for — and who should probably pass on it. Because while I absolutely adore the sound, MARS is not a cheap “do everything” synth, and it’s not trying to compete with mass-market analog polysynths. It’s a character instrument. A monster. A special machine for people who want something truly different."
