He made an entire album with one synth

video upload by Julian "J3PO" Pollack

"In this video, I share the story behind A Brief Odyssey: an ambient synth album I created entirely with a single synthesizer: the Sequential FOURM.

What started as a simple experiment in creative limitation quickly became one of the most rewarding musical projects I’ve ever completed. By removing almost every option from my studio and focusing on one instrument, I found myself working faster, trusting my instincts more, and spending less time chasing ideas and more time actually making music.

Along the way, I discuss the creative process, sound design, poly aftertouch, improvisation, ambient music production, and why limitations can sometimes be the key to unlocking creativity. I also demonstrate several of the patches used throughout the album, many of which became factory presets on the FOURM itself.

Open Serenity | Ambient Session with Sequential Fourm, Shallow Water & Hive 2 (Soft Pulse 11)

video upload by Haiko Senchan

"For this track, I ran the Sequential Fourm through the Fairfield Shallow Waters pedal and recorded a sounds, sounds, sounds. I added effects in Ableton, and slowly this soundscape emerged, feeling warm and dense yet somehow open. In the video, I played a key/lead sound live, and you can see and hear the result. I hope you like the track as much as I do.

The rain of yesterday | Sequential Prophet 10 and Virus TI soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"For the first time in what feels like a very long time - I've felt some hope. Received some good news that provides at least some stability in my job. And to celebrate (a little), I finally, after 10 years, updated my camera from the Canon 5D mkii to the R6 mkii and wanted to test it out. I doubt it's any better from a YouTube perspective... my 5D2 always did work alright, but it's nice to finally have something a little more up to date.

6/4/26 Narco Biofeedback System + Peavey DDL-3 + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"This intriguing piece of scientific equipment from Narco Bio-Systems Inc. was intended for Electroencephalography (EEG), not for music, but it was available on eBay and seemed promising so we made an offer. The fraying power cable needs to be replaced, there’s a hum and it’s hissy, but it turned on. If we find the right electrodes I might hook it up to my brain, but for now, it’s running through the Peavey DDL-3 digital delay pedal, with reverb blended on the CXM 1978. At around 3:00 the manual fade-ins start turning into a drone and then, by around 4:45, the feedback is turned up higher on the DDL-3 to loop the drone."

Vekte and Tresse: Algorithmic Sequencer and Macro Oscillator VST by Våld Labs

video upload by Våld Labs

"Two plugins from Våld Labs, shown back to back. Vekte sequencing Tresse.

Vekte is a generative MIDI sequencer built on the same principle as our upcoming hardware sequencer Rekke: you grow your patterns, and scupt them down.

A library of algorithmic engines — Euclidean, Markov, cellular automata, L-systems and others — produces material that's deterministic and reproducible from a seed, but large enough in its parameter space that it never stops surprising you.

Tresse is the synth on the receiving end, a multi-engine voice with a continuous SEM-style filter morph, in the macro oscillator synth realm.

In this clip both run as plugins, but both philosophies are also coming out in our hardware.

Vekte:
Multiple generative engines, each a distinct algorithm rather than a preset
Complete modulation routing (internal and external) in 4 lanes.
A vast amount of scales, chords, divisions, and everything you need to create rich polyrhytms. Playhead directions, totally independent from each other.
Seed-based recall — the same seed always rebuilds the same pattern

Tresse
39 polyphonic synth engines, with a variable-state SEM-style filter, LFO, wavefolder and more.

Soon in: VST3, AU3, iOS, Standalone

Music Thing Modular: Workshop System workshop | 29 April 2026

video upload by Signal Sounds

"We were delighted to welcome Music Thing Modular’s Tom Whitwell to our Glasgow showroom recently for an evening exploring his Workshop System - a compact, self-contained modular synthesiser in a portable case.

Tom is the brains behind the classic Turing Machine and a host of other brilliant DIY modules. If you’ve heard any of his regular appearances on the Why We Bleep podcast, you’ll know he’s full of fascinating ideas about the worlds of electronic music and instrument design, so this was a cracking evening for anyone even vaguely interested in synths.

Tom chatted about the design process for the Workshop System, showed some example patches and discussed its unique Computer module - which is now also available standalone - as well as answering questions from the audience.

KordBot Firmware update tour...

video upload by Isla Electronics

"I'm delighted to finally be able to give you a tour of the soon to be released firmware update for your beloved KordBot.

Rather than a full end to end feature example I've tried to keep this as short as possible to just walk around all the new features and improvements.

This should be released to the public sometime next week after some initial private beta testing is complete to make sure we don't blow up your KordBot ;)

as always, come and join the discussion at http://forum.islaelectronics.com

big love!

I also want to give a plug to Georgy at Musician Paradise, purveyor of the finest midi chord progression packs who has graciously donated hundreds of song starter chord progressions that will be included in the firmware. check him out over at

Why He traveled to Budapest to talk about Eurorack with Doboz | Sound Mechanic 03

video upload by _marcozoppi

"| Sound Mechanics of Eurorack Composition - Part 1 |

In this video, I sit down with Máté Szabó, the mind behind Doboz Modular.

I traveled to Budapest, where Máté designs and builds his instruments, to talk about Eurorack, the process of creating a modular synth module, and why it can sometimes be challenging to think of a modular system as a traditional musical instrument.

We also discuss Máté's latest creation: DVNA, a compact standalone synthesizer featuring a monophonic voice with paraphonic chord output, designed to bring expressive harmonic control into a portable format.

BURHANS TIMBRE 1

video upload by cirtcele

"Multi function module for creating timbre, simple or complex CV/gate patterns and pseudo random noise."

via nonlinearcircuits

8hp

This module can be used in a number of ways:

Timbre generator

CV Pattern generator/sequencer

Controllable pseudo-random noise generator

It is based on ideas presented in an AES article by Ralph W. Burhans

Using the switches, pots and signal input, you can create patterns as simple or as complex as you like.

It is not a 6 stage sequencer as most settings enable more than one channel to be active at once and the CV output is a sum of the voltages set by the pots connected to the active stages.

The switches enable extremely long patterns to be generated. The signal input allows you to change and randomise patterns on the fly, but it fun to flick the switches back’n’forth (centre is off); sometimes you might even return to a previous pattern. It is also fun to feedback a gate output into the signal input to create shorter loops that can be altered with the switches as well.

As a timbre generator, it can add harmonics to sine waves or step in and out of pseudo random noise as the signal and/or clock are CV controlled. It might be good to feed the output to a VCF to smooth some of the edges, but it depends on how noisy you want it.
