Deep Forest – SOUL
video upload by Deep Forest
"The first chapter from the upcoming album SOUL.
Deep Forest has always explored the frontier between memory, technology and emotion.
From ancestral voices to new forms of sonic creation, from organic textures to AI-driven experimentation, music becomes a living, shifting presence — almost conscious.
Traditional sounds merge seamlessly with the tools of the future.
Human and machine no longer stand in opposition. Together, they create a new emotional language.
For more than three decades, Deep Forest has blended ethnic inspiration, electronic landscapes and innovative sound design, constantly searching for new sonic territories.
SOUL continues this journey into unexplored dimensions, where ancient memories, synthetic textures and human emotion intertwine.
Thus begins a new chapter of Deep Forest.

Ambient improvisation with Waldorf Microwave 1 (update V2.0, no talking, no effects)
video upload by Martin Stürtzer
"All sounds of this ambient improvisation are from the Waldorf Microwave 1 plugin, version 2.0. No external effects were used. The first sound is a pad in multimode with some LFO modulations on the filter. The second sound uses the new Poly Arp, followed by a bass patch. The patterns were recorded and looped using Ableton Live.
All patches, sounds, sequences and arrangements were made by a (cat assisted) human. No AI tools were used in the creation of the music, video and artwork.

Inertia Synthesizer
video upload by Zack Berwick
"So after seeing Author and Punisher live earlier this year, I felt inspired to build my own drone machine.
These controllers consists of a 2lbs aluminum rod attached to a optical rotary encoder, while sitting atop thrust ball bearings. This encoder is then wired to an Ardunio Uno R3 measuring the RPM value along with it's rotational direction. I then used that data to control a synth patch I made in Max Msp 9 using the abl.drift and abl.roar objects along with two DMX controlled light panels using the Beam max package.

"Jun 26, 2026 #Moog #AkaiPro #Messenger
Join us as we explore how a sampler can expand the musical possibilities of a monophonic synth.
In this new series, we dive into sound design on the Moog Messenger, then move into sampling and arrangement with the @Akai_Pro MPC Sample.

Vintage ARP 2600 w/ 3604 Keyboard - 110 Volt Unit
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
"The ARP Instruments 2600 is a highly revered analogue synthesiser, renowned for its incredible flexibility and rich sonic palette. First introduced in the 1970s, this semi-modular synthesiser became an instant classic, revered by musicians and producers for its distinctive sound and intuitive design. The 2600 features three versatile oscillators, each capable of producing a wide range of waveforms, from warm, deep basses to piercing leads and complex textures. Its unique filter section, with a resonant low-pass filter, imparts a characteristic tone that has become synonymous with the ARP brand. Additionally, the synthesiser includes an envelope generator, an LFO, and a noise generator, providing users with a comprehensive toolkit for sound design.
What sets the ARP 2600 apart is its semi-modular architecture, which does not require patch cables for basic operation, yet offers extensive patching options for advanced users. This design allows for easy exploration for beginners while satisfying the creative demands of experienced synthesists. The synthesiser also features a built-in spring reverb unit and a pair of stereo speakers, adding to its versatility. Its rugged, roadworthy construction, combined with its distinctive 3-octave keyboard with aftertouch, makes the 2600 a reliable and expressive instrument for live performance. The ARP 2600 is not just a synthesiser; it's a piece of musical history, offering a unique blend of vintage sound and timeless functionality, making it a coveted piece for collectors and a valuable tool for modern musicians.
Includes three power supply cables, a collection of patch cables, lids for both cases, and printed patch manual. This unit is 110 volt, and requires a stepdown transformer for operation in Australia."
