Snare Legio: Analog-inspired snare voice on the Legio platform
video upload by Noise Engineering
"Snare Legio is an analog-inspired snare voice with plenty of control over the body, noise, and punch of every hit.
Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...
Let's start with Decay. This controls how long the body of the snare rings out.
Noise controls the snare-wire character, letting you blend in as much noisy texture as you want.
The Impact switch changes the intensity of the attack, with three levels of punch from softer hits to much harder strikes.
Then there's the Wire switch, changing the tightness of the snare wires, giving you loose, standard, and tight variations on the sound.
And of course, Pitch lets you tune the whole voice, or add some modulation to get a little closer to industrial territory.
You can also press the Pitch encoder to mute.
With the audio inputs, you can bring in other sounds and mix them directly with the Snare's output.
Today your Legio is a snare drum. A quick USB swap and it can become a supersaw, wavefolder, granular processor, or something completely different.

Overtonium - Sound Examples
video upload by Benjamin Dehli
"Some sounds from 11 of the factory presets in Overtonium."
"Played on an Expressive E Osmose CE. Everything you hear comes from the plugin, with no external effects."
Free for macOS, Windows and Linux: https://benjamindehli.github.io/overt...
"Overtonium is a 32-partial additive synthesizer laid out like a 32-channel mixer. Every channel is one sine oscillator locked to a harmonic of the played note, and every channel has its own tuning, envelope and modulation.
The control worth reaching for first is TUNE. It sweeps each partial continuously between equal temperament and just intonation. At the just end the partial sits at an exact integer ratio with the fundamental and the whole stack fuses into a single timbre. At the equal end each partial snaps to the nearest semitone and the same stack smears into a chord.
Formats: VST3, AU (macOS), LV2 (Linux) and standalone.
Free and open source under the AGPLv3."

Moog Matriarch | Oxi one | Octatrack mk II | Novation peak | My new album out now played live.
video upload by Onyx track
"Hi all! Finally, Neural Form is here.
It took me a while to finish this album, but I’m really happy to finally share these 12 new tracks with you.
The entire album was created using the Moog Matriarch, Novation Peak, Elektron Octatrack MKII, OXI One, Hologram Microcosm, and Arturia MicroFreak.
A lot of experimenting, sequencing, sound design, and late nights went into these tracks. I hope you enjoy listening to Neural Form as much as I enjoyed making it.
Thank you for listening. 🖤

TRON: Legacy – End Titles | Synth Cover
video upload by Marcus Padrini
"Meu desprentesioso cover de “End Titles”, da trilha de TRON: Legacy, composta pelo Daft Punk. Sequenciei a performance no MPC Keys 61 e gravei tudo ao vivo , contando principalmente com o Donner B1 como synth principal.
O Donner B1 traz os sons inspirados na TB-303, já tem overdrive e delay embutidos, o que facilita chegar numa sonoridade mais próxima do synth da trilha. A Roland TR-6S faz a bateria, com compressor e um filtro low pass para a parte final; o Air JURA no MPC e o EMW VPoly 6X ficaram responsáveis pelos pads e o Behringer Solina, por strings. O lead fica com o Moog Sub 37, com sub oscilador na parte final."
"My casual cover of 'End Titles' from the *TRON: Legacy* soundtrack, composed by Daft Punk. I sequenced the performance on the MPC Keys 61 and recorded everything live, relying primarily on the Donner B1 as the main synth.
The Donner B1 delivers TB-303-inspired sounds and features built-in overdrive and delay, making it easier to achieve a tone close to the original soundtrack synth. The Roland TR-6S handles the drums, using a compressor and a low-pass filter for the final section; the Air JURA (on the MPC) and the EMW VPoly 6X cover the pads, while the Behringer Solina handles the strings. The lead part is played by the Moog Sub 37, incorporating a sub-oscillator during the finale."
L-1 Frequency Crossover. Sample 2.

"I am continuing to get to know the Frequency Crossover.
Powerful tool for multiband processing
L-1 Frequency Crossover.
Midside/Stereo. 24 dB/oct. Discrete blacksea gain cells.
The module divides input signal into 3 frequency bands - low, mid, high.
Send-returns from each band for outboard processing.
Filters cutoff frequencies and bands levels are voltage controllable."

It's not simple track play - I build it from the scratch and improvising with rhythms, timbres and acid line.

Electronica w/ Twisted Rhythms and Reversed Loops | Every single moment 2026-09-26 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"An electronica piece built from twisting rhythm patterns and tightly repeating loops.
This piece was created with the volca fm2, TR-08, and OP-1 field.
On the volca fm2, two patterns are switched during playback while the NIGHTSKY adds filtering and reverb.
On the OP-1 field, a short-decay sequence is looped using the ENDLESS sequencer. A loop recorded with the MICROCOSM PHRASE LOOPER is layered over it while being played back in reverse.
On the TR-08, a rhythm pattern is played while the MOOD MKII applies pitch shifting.

Waldorf Wave (48 voice) Emulation in Software
video upload by Dave Whiting
"This video showcases my software recreation of the legendary Waldorf Wave—a hybrid wavetable synthesizer known for its huge digital oscillators, analogue filters and unusually complex hardware architecture.
The project is built in C++ using JUCE and is available as a standalone instrument and plug-in. Rather than simply making a modern synth that sounds similar, I’ve tried to reproduce the structure and behaviour of the original machine.
The emulation models:
• The Wave’s 250 kHz, 8-bit time-multiplexed wavetable oscillator system
• Signed mixer overflow—including the characteristic Waldorf “ASIC Mix Bug”
• Digital 12 dB high-pass filtering
• CEM3387-style reconstruction filtering, resonant four-pole low-pass filtering, VCAs and panning
• 12-bit stepped control voltages, sample-and-hold behaviour, saturation, noise and output coupling
• Three independent 16-voice WDV boards, matching a fully expanded 48-voice Wave
• The original 480 × 64 monochrome LCD and front-panel workflow
The instrument can also run authenticated Waldorf Wave OS 1.700 firmware. An emulated 68000 CPU executes the original main operating system, while a second runtime executes the genuine WDV voice-board program. Their shared-memory communication, voice-update masks, semaphores and hardware-register writes are reproduced and traced inside the model.
The oscillator ASIC itself remains undocumented, so its internal operation is represented by a behavioural model based on the Wave’s published architecture, firmware activity and known hardware characteristics. This is therefore an ongoing reverse-engineering and preservation project—not a claim of perfect, bit-exact emulation.
Waldorf and Wave are trademarks of their respective owner. This independent project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Waldorf Music.

Generative Counterpoint on Modular Synth: CEREBELLUM and AO Etude no. 1
video upload by Biopower Audio
"Did you know you can turn one analog melodic sequence into many with creative multiplication and modulation? With CEREBELLUM logic matrix for Eurorack modular synthesizer and its helper module AO, I'm pushing and pulling a single sequence into a hundred variations.
The 16-step sequence passes the AO dual attenuverter and offset, and then is requantized into a pentatonic scale. Even in unison, new gate patterns from CEREBELLUM can change the unison sequence with new rhythms. Then offsetting and inverting the pitches of one voice, while slowing or syncopating the rhythm, can give you a bass line as counterpoint to a higher melody!"
