"Elkatwin 61" Vintage Italian string/organ/bass keyboard - only play-
video upload by Davide Micheli
"Elkatwin 61 is a bass-string-organ keyboard built by the Elka Italian synth company in the 80'.
In my opinion is the queen of string machines of that era.
Video consists of two different parts. In the first, I played bass and organ and also some parts with the Crumar Bit99 synthesizer, midi connected to a Solton Programmer 24 synth adopted only as a master keyboard. In the second part, only full strings are played. Video camera recorded the audio by its microphone.
Hope you enjoy the video."
Luma-mu: bringing the legendary Linn LM-1 to Eurorack
video upload by CatSynth TV
"We are proud to preset Luma-mu, a new Eurorack drum module from our friends at Deftaudio that brings the technology and sound of the legendary Linn LM-1 drum computer to the word of modular synthesis. It implements a single voice of their Luma-1 drum machine (a full recreation of the LM-1) with additional CV controls for the samples, playback modes, pitch, dynamics, and more. It comes with an EEPROM of the original LM-1 sounds that can be easily swapped out for other sounds on EEPROM or a special USB EEPROM emulator (which will be covered in another video).
To find out more, please visit https://deftaudio.com/lumamu
00:00 Introduction
00:18 Background on Luma-1 and Luma-mu
01:05 Overview of Luma-mu module

03:10 Controlling the module via CV input
04:08 Playing the module via a sequencer
08:34 Using an alternate EEPROM
12:08 A teasure for the USB PicoRom adapter
12:24 Conclusion
We use the Morphor Sequencer, Expert Sleepers Disting, and Arturia MiniBrute to play the module in this demo."

Loop Samples Without Clicks on Syntakt 1.40, Digitakt & Every Sampler
video upload by Sineway
"Loop points that click are one of the most frustrating things in sampling - and one of the easiest to fix once you know how. In this video I show you a simple crossfade technique in Audacity that produces seamless, click-free loops every single time. No plugins, no special tools - just a free tool and a workflow that works.
I record the source sound straight from the Novation Peak into Audacity, build the loop, and then export in the right format for each device - mono/16-bit/48kHz for Syntakt 1.40 and the original Digitakt, and stereo/24-bit/48kHz for Digitakt II. The difference in the final result is exactly what you'd expect - and worth hearing.
The technique itself is sampler-agnostic. Whether you're on an Elektron box, an SP-404, an MPC, or anything else, the principle is the same: get the loop right before it ever reaches the hardware.

Synth tip with Eurorack: TRICOMP as a sequencer
video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO
"One more idea of use with a comparator modules:
Yes, it can be used as a 4 steps sequencer.
And the time position of each steps are freely adjustable, with the full loop that stays in sync. Another way to make some swing ;)
Also anothe Opportunity to listen to the DULA UNDULA OSCILLATOR.
The TRICOMP is a comparator module for Eurorack.

Sequential Pro-One Analog Synthesizer: Famous 80s Hit Songs and Yazoo Sounds
video upload by RetroSound
"The Sequential Circuits Pro-One is one of the most legendary mono synthesizers of the 1980s—and responsible for some of the most iconic sounds of the synth-pop, new wave, and industrial era.
In this video, you'll hear famous Sequential Pro-One sounds and riffs used in real hits from the 80s.
From powerful basslines to screaming leads to sequenced arpeggios, the Pro-One stands for raw analog character and a sound that has shaped entire decades. Yazoo used the Sequential Pro-One in the album Upstais At Eric`s.
The Pro-One Sounds:

"Turning a Pulsar 23 drone into a MEGADRONE!
This set up just keeps bringing the inspiration. Come on a synth journey to add spacial widening to a Pulsar drone and adding layers on layers of layers using the slicing function on the Move.
I mention the @RiemannKollektion for the kick sample https://riemannkollektion.com/ check them out! (not sponsored, no affiliation just a big fan!)

Moog DFAM+Labyrinth 50 Combo Patches + Samples. Sound Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"🥁 'Modular Impulse' is a collection of 50 combo patches for the semi-modular analog synthesizers Moog DFAM and Labyrinth.
The soundset focuses on rhythmic and dynamic sound design, as both synthesizers are naturally oriented toward punchy, percussive tones.
🧿 The collection includes basses, plucks, bleeps, drums, leads, and FXs.
There is a wide range of sound colors inside the pack: massive and gentle, aggressive and soft, bright and dull, melodic and inharmonic tones, as well as straight and polymetric patterns.
📦 The patches are available here: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/dfam...
🎛 The main idea behind the soundset is a high level of interconnection, rather than simply syncing the synths with independent timbres (individual patch collections for DFAM and Labyrinth are also available on my website).
In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are tightly intertwined and cannot exist separately:

Tubbutec MC-2oh2 sample player on channel 3 #tubbutec #mc2oh2
video upload by analogia pl
"One thing that’s not discussed enough - or is even criminally underrated - is the third channel in the Tubbutec MC-2oh2. On paper, it’s just a simple sample player, coming with a factory-loaded set of TR-606-like drum sounds that are still fun and effective to jam along to.
With the MC-202 Hack software (but also possible via SysEx), it’s a breeze to upload your own samples -or rather, sound snippets.
That’s precisely what I’m doing here. I took pre-recorded snippets of vocoder-processed sounds and uploaded them into the 2oh2. It’s already fun just to play them, but here comes another smart function of the 2oh2: midifiers. Each sample can be filtered, slowed down, reversed, and/or accented. It’s an endless source of experimentation and inspiration."
Nice EMS Vocoder 1000 in back.

Dronage Terminal: Basics Tutorial

(Teaser) Taneler v0.1.0 - An ambient loop workstation in your terminal
video upload by Bruce Menace

via https://boorch.itch.io/dronage-terminal
A drone workstation for the terminal, featuring 4x famously open sourced macro oscillator synth module whose name must not be spoken, extensive modulation capabilities, and custom tailored effects including a granular delay.
The screenshots demonstrate how the tool looks like when it's launched through Rio Terminal, an amazing terminal emulator that supports RetroArch shaders. For clarity, Rio Terminal is NOT a requirement.
I highly recommend downloading a Nerd Font (like JetBrains Mono Nerd) and using it on your preferred terminal emulator to make sure all special characters used in the UI id splayed as expected though.
There's a README.md file included in the downloads. It's in Markdown format. It's human-readable with any text editor, but I strongly suggest using an app that supports Markdown format to view it with better formatting. Worst case scenario, you can paste it into a Markdown viewer website like this to read it properly.

New Uses for Old Circuits 04: Studies in Linear and Nonlinear Systems
video upload by La Synthèse Humaine
New Uses for Old Circuits
"New Uses for Old Circuits is a series looking at linear and nonlinear processes in the modular system.
In this video we get right to the heart of the matter and discover what defines a linear system (and therefore what defines a nonlinear system). Linear systems are systems that obey the laws of homogeneity and superposition, whereas nonlinear systems are ones that break these laws."
