ako - Basic Microwaving (4 track tape version) - recording w MT-50, MMT-8, CZ-1000, PSS-480, TR505

video upload by ako

"Here's a video of the recording of the B-side for my new single (links to all formats below). It was recorded on a Yamaha MT-50 four track tape recorder with a Casio CZ-1000 (bass, this is honestly the weirdest synth I own and I think this the only track I’ve released with it on bc it’s just so weird), Yamaha PSS-480 (lead, despite masquerading as toy this thing packs some serious heat) Yamaha DX21 (chord layer) and Roland TR505 (drums – this gets some stick from TR purists, but it has some really usable sounds and the sequencer is super nice). The track was sequenced with the frankly legendary Alesis MMT-8 (the only hardware MIDI sequencer I’ve ever enjoyed using). Synchronisation between tape and MIDI was achieved using a Yamaha YMC10 MIDI clock to tape-synch converter. Dub style delays used on the lead came from a RocLab DD3000 (pretty obscure unit, sounds nice if you tweak it just right); Reverb came from a Behringer DR600 (solid reverb pedal, even more solid price at ~£25) and chorus for the bass via a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus - my favourite chorus, to me it just sounds how chorus should sound (this one is a vintage ‘made in Japan’ model, so fully analogue compared to later digital CH-1 models, and just sounds super warm). It was mixed on MT-50 but also with a Peavey Unity Series 2000-16 (for submixes and sends etc.), this mixer has a flavour all of it’s own, certainly not high fidelity, but kinda gritty and warm… The track is out now for stream and download (links below), hope you folks dig the track 🙂"

Game Boy Advance FMS + Resonant Marbles Electronica | Dimming 2026-07-29 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece featuring Game Boy Advance, OP-1 field, and the resonant sounds of marbles processed through a resonator.

On the Game Boy Advance, sequences are played using FMS. The output is processed through LOSSY and then routed through the SSL SiX CH.

On the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, an electric piano sound from the Sampler is looped using the ENDLESS sequencer. Deep reverb is applied through the blueSky.

A piezo element is attached to a glass bottle containing marbles and metal nuts. The signal is sent into the ‪@MengQiMusic‬ Wingie 2, then processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII and layered with micro loop textures."

Flexur spooky jam

video upload by Sound Workshop

"Testing Flexur, our standalone expressive #synthesizer inspired by #trautonium

In this firmware revision. Lauri iterated on the code that holds notes on while you’re sustaining a touch.

The last firmware revision improved noise performance, but led to a large increase in dropped notes. Is it possible to improved the noise without dropping to many notes?

Based on this jam, it seems like the answer is yes. Flexur felt very physical. Dare I say: I felt like I was starting to shred on it. I was playing most of my bag of ideas from jamming on “my funny valentine”. The chromatic descending bass line is very comfortable for an intermediate player like me, so I keep getting pulled back to it. I hope that more advanced players will be able to find more variety in chord changes.

I like how this video shows a few different ideas about how to arpeggiate and play chords. I also play this slightly corny riff that just wiggles between 5 and b5. It shows how with a little bit of pizzaz or personality the simplest motifs can stay interesting for a long time. That’s only possible on an expressive interface.

Flexur was crowdfunded in June 2026 and sold out. Please join the newsletter or waitlist on our website to know when orders open again, which should be in 6-24 months. Sorry for the long wait, We're pushing as fast as we can. Thank you!"

Synthesizer Pioneer Patrick Gleeson Has Passed Away

Some sad news in via The Alan R Pearlman Foundation and The Bob Moog Foundation

Celebrating the Life of Composer and Synthesizer Pioneer Patrick Gleeson

We received the sad news about about the passing of Patrick Gleeson. With respect to Pat's widow, and in conjunction with the Bob Moog Foundation, we are sharing their Press Release:

Legendary Master Synthesist Patrick Gleeson Dies at 91

On behalf of the estate of Patrick Gleeson, the Bob Moog Foundation shares the passing of the legendary electronic music pioneer. Patrick Gleeson passed away on July 19, 2026; he was 91 years old. Gleeson may be best remembered as the owner of Different Fur Studios, and for his subsequent work with Herbie Hancock. However, his career stretched well beyond those accomplishments, including producing and engineering for a multitude of musicians, recording solo albums, scoring soundtracks, and performing live.

Wendy Carlos once wrote of Patrick, "Our eight-year wait for someone else to explore electroinc music realisation with what we judge to be appropriate technical standards and musical taste has ended. In short, one hears the ears of a gifted musician at work, in a field where one must exercise unprecedented discipline and self-control."

You can read much more about Patrick's significant contributions to the world of synthesis and music HERE."

You can find numerous posts featuring Patrick Gleeson here on MATRIXSYNTH.

SEQtrak Bass Station Techno-funk!!

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"So I got my own Bass Station 2 now, and I'm enjoying it very much in combination with the Yamaha SEQtrak. I'm running the audio from the Bass Station into the SEQtrak input, so the Yamaha master effects (high pass filter and repeater in my case) can act on the Bass Station and really make everything sound cohesive. I'm 'borrowing' the SEQtrak sampler track (MIDI channel 11) for sequencing the Bass Station MIDI, which leaves my hands free to twist knobs and have some fun. Here's some techno-funk for your listening pleasure... :D Enjoy!"

"triple reverse sigmoid chaos in 8HP."

via nonlinearcircuits

This 8HP module contains three reverse sigmoid chaos circuits, these are the same as those used in 1U reverse Sigmoid and How’s the Serenity.

This version exists because not everybody has 1U and How’s the Serenity is quite large and more focused on very slow CV generation. This version is limited to 0805 capacitors to set the timing. Tayda sell 22uF caps and you could stack these to get to 44uF easily enough. Generally, a lot of fun can be had using 1uF, 470n and 220n caps.

The syncing between the stages works very nicely with this module as the frequency ranges are closer together than How’s the Serenity, so they have a more obvious effect upon each other.

Please note if you install caps less than 470n, the 62k on that section needs to be changed to 68k. This prevents the circuit locking into a periodic orbit after CV is applied.

The caps for each section must be the same. So you will see three pads marked C1, install the same value cap in all three.

The LEDs should be very bright to shine thru the panel, a low value for RL helps too, say 2k2 or 3k3 which you are installing elsewhere on the PCB anyway. The panel renders below do not show the LEDs but they are there.
