Who is 'Inspector Norse'? (Circuit Tracks Remake)

video upload by Guinan

"I love the classic 70’s electronic disco/hi-energy vibes to this 2012 track from Norwegian DJ and producer Todd Terje. I thought it could sound great on the Tracks. I think it turned out well but let me know if you think it could be improved. I’ll put a link in the comments below to download the pack, so show me your remixes….

I’ve read that ‘king of Norwegian disco’ Terje Olsen (and it’s pronounced TAR-YEH i think*) produced this just using an ARP-2600 for all the sounds. I thought I’d set myself the challenge to only use the Tracks for this one so everything, including the drums and sound effects, had to be produced by the Tracks and playable on just this box.

Why? I like a challenge!

Everything you hear therefore was programmed, sampled and ported back to the tracks and then sequenced to be played live and recorded direct.

If you are wondering who Inspector Norse is, watch till the end of the video, (obviously partly a pun on UK TV detective 'Inspector Morse') but this excellent video might give you some further clues as to his identity..."

First Test of the 4X-64-DS Drum Sequencer – Experimental Noise Breaks

video upload by Vitamin AH3PCm

"A spontaneous synth jam in which the first prototype of the VITA SYNTHS 4X-64-DS drum sequencer was tested for the very first time. The music was created completely on the fly, with no preparation, using the trigger sequencer mentioned above and several other synthesizers.

Hard to pin down stylistically, so I’d call it Experimental Lo-Fi Noise Acid Breaks."

The Roland JD-990 Editor of His Dreams (Open Source)

video upload by Marc Renton

"I finally built the Roland JD-990 editor of my dreams – and it's open source.

SoundDiver is dead, Patch Base never felt right, and the JD-990's front panel only lets you scratch the surface of what this 90s synth can really do. So I built my own editor: a native Mac app (made with JUCE) that puts every parameter at your fingertips – touchable envelopes, a full effects page, a library editor and a performance view for stacking up to 24 voices across multiple MIDI channels.

My philosophy: the editor is the source of truth. Your patches live on your computer – with version control and proper backups – instead of on a 30-year-old battery.

▶ Source code: https://github.com/andremotz/foton-jd990
There's no prebuilt download. Grab the code and let an AI agent like Claude Code, OpenCode or Codex build it for you – or adapt it for Windows, a VST plugin or even the JD-800. Pull requests welcome!

Surfaces, Layers, Spaces - Towards a Continuum of Sound

video upload by La Synthèse Humaine

Also see Jaap Vink and Recursive Sound, and additional episodes here.

"I embarked on the electro-acoustic project Infra in the autumn of
1978, and completed it in the summer of 1979, working with
occasional interruptions at the Institute of Sonology at Utrecht University.

In contrast to earlier work partly aimed at providing a constantly
new view of a field of acoustical events which was as homogenous as possible, my main idea here was to assemble as wide
a range as possible of electro-acoustical sounds under the
aspect of cybernetic regulation, thus generating a continuum
integrating certain timbre characteristics of instrumental, vocal
and electronic categories, even previously unexplored ones.
One of my premisses was to reveal the oscillation curves of a
material in certain resonance ranges, using random-controlled
processes. The sonorous profile was extended step by step into
allophonic sound phenomena possessing the property of
merging with one another.

This music can be termed 'abstract'. Perhaps concepts such as
surfaces, layers, spaces, constellations, transitions and
reflections will help the listener to understand it.

New 4 Zone CV Bus Case | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"A brand new edition of the 7U Case has arrived! So let's make a patch in a Shared System in the 2013 wooden Enclave 7U that is still going strong to this day!

There is at least one error in the voiceover for this video: can you catch it?

Our 208hp 7U 4 Zone CV Bus Case arrives ready to put to use with your modules, patch cables and inspiration. The powder coated metal construction offers excellent mechanical durability. The mounting rails have been updated to black anodized tapped strip, replacing the sliding nut design of previous versions of the case. The lid is removable and can be closed with the system fully patched. The sleek matte black finish was selected to match our line of Black & Gold modules, and it looks great with just about any module installed. This finish will wear nicely showing the story of your modular synth's travels over the years.

The Make Noise 4 Zone Power system is a new approach to accommodating the ever growing universe of Eurorack modules.The multi-zone power solution is like having multiple independent power supplies in a single case. This allows for isolating noisy modules from noise sensitive modules. Each Zone features isolated +12 VDC and -12VDC supplies and a dedicated ground return path. Included are 31 power shrouded connectors to help prevent incorrect installation. The total available power available is +12VDC @ 4A, -12VDC @ 2.4A and +5VDC @ 1A.

Generative Ambient Machine (AMB-1) Inspired by Brian Eno's Music for Airports for the M-VAVE FM1

video upload by DECIMA1

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"Today I cover the FM-1 Generative Ambient Machine (AMB-1) get it here: https://charlesvestal.github.io/fm1-a..."


"A generative ambient machine, inspired by Brian Eno's Music for Airports. It plays itself from the moment it's switched on. You don't perform it, you tend it: pick a piece and a scale, take notes out, put them back, and let it grow.

THE GARDEN

Pad. Four breathing voices, a Rhodes or sung voices, each swelling and fading on its own cycle, so the chord forms and dissolves. Now and then it drifts to another chord in the scale.

Bells. Soft FM bells on four tape loops 13, 17, 23 and 29 beats long, sliding against each other so the melody never quite repeats.

Bass. The chord's root, low and gliding.

Pulse. A thump and two hats on Euclidean patterns of 16, 12 and 7 steps.

Space. A tape echo, a long tape loop and a plate reverb: most of what you hear. REC freezes the chord and lets the reverb ring on forever.

Eight pieces, each remembering how you left it. The keys are the scale: press one to take its note out or put it back. A slow tide between sparse and full, and rests now and then, keep it moving for hours."

How to make the Korg Minilogue XD sound like a Roland JP-8000

video upload by MrSynthmania

"Transform your Korg Minilogue XD into a trance legend!

Get the bundle of 16 Oscillator-Models here: https://synthmania.de/produkt/minilog...

Get the iconic Roland JP-8000 SUPERSAW sound as a digital User Oscillator – with the same parameters as the original.

This is part of my complete Bundle with additional 15 powerful User Oscillators for the Minilogue XD and NTS-1 (MKi).

In this video I’m showing the SUPERSAW in a short trance track and walking through some of the custom parameters:

🎛️ Phase – Control the massive width of the 7 supersaw waves
🎛️ Mix – Balance the dry and detuned signals perfectly
🎛️ Brightness – Open up the filter character for piercing leads
🎛️ SubOsc – Add massive low-end to your supersaw patches
🎛️ Octave Switch – Choose between 1 or 2 octaves for the SubOsc
🎛️ Drive – Boost the punch of the sound

Perfect for owners of the Minilogue XD who want classic trance and progressive sounds."

"This oscillator was written from the ground up in C++ for maximum efficiency and sonic uncompromising quality. Instead of simply stacking standard sawtooth waves, the code uses mathematical refinements otherwise found only in high-end plugins:

Original detune behavior: The oscillator calculates the phase behavior of 7 synchronized sawtooths using the exact asymmetric detune ratios of the original Roland JP-8000.

Fully band-limited: By employing optimized band-limited sawtooth algorithms, the sound stays absolutely clean and free of annoying aliasing even in the highest notes.

Analog-modulated filter design: Inside the code runs a cascade of four highpass filters plus a specialized high-shelf EQ based on BiQuad filter structures. This delivers an extremely clean bass range and silky highs.
