Obsession Vol 2 - Patches 33 to 64 - Oberheim OB-X8

video upload by GEOSynths

"Out Soon.

Back with another 128 Patches for the fantastic Oberheim OB-X8, this Video demonstrates Patches 33 to 64. While Vol 1 covered some Classic Sounds, Vol 2 is more about Synthesis and leaning into new Shapes and Textures. I've since created my own Multi-FX Plugin (GEOSpace) which has EQ, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Delay and Reverb and have created 128 Presets to go with all 128 OB-X8 Patches, just add as an Insert to your Host/DAW and select the same names. That's it.

You can find GEOSpace at the following, these 128 FX Presets will be included with Obsession Vol 2 only.

https://github.com/GEOSynths/GEOSpace...

In terms of Sounds, I've concentrated a lot on Pads and Strings and unusual tones, going further with Page 2 Functions and as always, all 128 are demonstrated over 4 Videos. When the 4th is Live, they will be released. V2 Firmware for the OB-X8 needs to be installed.

Talk Talk (1982) | Vintage Synthesizer Cover | Oberheim OB-Xa & Simmons SDS-8

video upload by RetroSound

"Talk Talk (1982) | Vintage Synthesizer Cover | Oberheim OB-Xa & Simmons SDS-8
A tribute to the unmistakable sound of the early 1980s!

This is my cover version of the song Talk Talk by Talk Talk, originally released in 1982 as a single from the band's debut album The Party's Over.

For this version, I wanted to capture the raw energy, distinctive synthesizer sounds and unmistakable electronic atmosphere of the original recording while staying true to the spirit of the early 80s.

To achieve an authentic vintage sound, I used original hardware synthesizers and drum machines, including:

🎹 Oberheim OB-Xa (1980) – One of the legendary analog polyphonic synthesizers of the early 80s, famous for its powerful oscillators, rich analog character and distinctive sound.

🥁 Simmons SDS-8 Electronic Drum System – The iconic hexagonal-pad electronic drum system, bringing that unmistakable early electronic drum character and punchy 80s percussion to the performance.

🎹 E-MU Emulator II for the Yamaha CP-80 piano sounds

No attempt was made to recreate the song using modern software alone. The focus was on the character, warmth and personality of real vintage analog and electronic instruments.

'Talk Talk' was written by Mark Hollis and Ed Hollis and produced by Colin Thurston. Released in 1982, it became one of the defining tracks of the band's early synth-pop and New Wave period. It appeared on their debut album The Party's Over.

The song combines driving rhythms, atmospheric keyboards and the distinctive vocal and musical attitude that made Talk Talk such a unique band in the British New Wave scene.

This version is my personal musical tribute to an unforgettable era of electronic music.

If you love 1980s music, vintage synthesizers, analog sounds, New Wave, Synth-Pop and classic electronic drums, I hope you enjoy this performance!"

MMT-8 and HR-16 | When Alesis were kings

video upload by Espen Kraft

"My sound patches: https://espenkraft.com

This is a short edit of the demo song I made for an old in-depth tutorial of the MMT-8 and HR-16 I once had on my channel.

Gear used:
Alesis MMT-8 sequencer and HR-16 drum machine.
Crumar BIT01 Poly
Roland Alpha Juno 2 Bass
I think I also used a D-50 and a piano sound from either a Proteus or Emax."

Yamaha DX7 meets Yamaha CS15d again ...

video upload by Sebastian Galassi

"Another draft created using two splendid 1980s synthesizers from Yamaha—one digital, the other analog: the DX7 and the CS15d (the latter dating back to 1979, to be precise). Despite their apparent differences in terms of both appearance and sound, they complement each other perfectly."

KeySolutions Sounds - Traveler MPE - Just wow!

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds and KeySolutions Sounds

"A very impromptu video while I am programming some MPE Patches for ‪@KeySolutionsSounds‬ Traveler.

MPE has taken this synth into a whole new realm if expressivity!

This is a short single patch demo of a custom preset I have called Serengeti, using the ‪@ExpressiveE‬ Osmose as the MPE Controller!

Traveler has been amazing from the get go, but with MPE functionality coming very soon, it is beyond words how expressive it can get!

enjoy!

*please excuse my jittering hands, I just used my obsbot camera on desk mode for this for quickness*"

The Modular Controller That Keeps Getting Better: Faderpunk

video upload by SynthDad

"What happens when a synth manufacturer opens up its hardware to the community? In the case of AtoVProject’s Faderpunk, something rather exciting!

Faderpunk was already a remarkably flexible MIDI and CV controller, but with the introduction of community-developed apps, it’s becoming an even more powerful tool for modular synthesis, generative sequencing and live performance.

In this video, I explore the new community app ecosystem, show you how to install third-party apps, and dive into some fantastic musical examples.

We’ll explore FP-Grids for generative drum rhythms, TB3PO for acid-inspired sequencing, TechnoKick and TechnoHihat for instant techno grooves, Sift for evolving melodic sequences, and Heat Pump for rhythmic sidechain modulation. I’ll also demonstrate how Automator can record your fader movements and turn them into evolving modulation.

Along the way, we’ll build some musical patches, experiment with sound design, and discover a few unexpected tricks — including using Heat Pump to bring rhythmic movement to the Forge TME Vhikk X.

For me, this is a great example of what happens when developers embrace their communities and give musicians the freedom to experiment and create. And the best part? There’s plenty more to come.

Faderpunk is more than a controller

It’s a living modulation ecosystem that you can shape, build, and customize to your will Faderpunk is all about customization. You can run apps that use one or more of the channels: LFOs, CV-to-MIDI converters, MIDI-to-CV bridges, random generators, Turing machines, quantizers, sequencers, envelopes, rhythm generators, and so much more.

Modulate anything
Faderpunk is a great companion for your Eurorack and semi-modular synthesizers as it speaks all their languages. Explore lots of modulation options for your empty jacks and get inspired by combining MIDI and modular capabilities.

Whether you need modulation sources, sequencers, or automation tools, Faderpunk puts everything at your fingertips with hands-on, intuitive control.

Make it yours, truly
Using the web-based configurator you can easily add and remove apps via drag & drop. Just connect Faderpunk to your computer and go to https://faderpunk.io.

Need an app that doesn’t exist yet? Create it yourself! Faderpunk comes with a developer-friendly API, making it easy to build your own apps.

Eight Is The New Six | Introducing Behringer POLYEIGHT

video upload by Behringer

Why limit yourself to six voices when you can have eight? Introducing our brand new Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer the Behringer Polyeight. An 8-Voice that sparkles with the sound of the 80s. Join Bartek as he jams through the presets of this exciting new addition to our Synth lineup."

Pics and details via Perfect Circuit

Additional posts here

Behringer's Polyeight is an eight-voice analog synthesizer that re-creates the era-defining sound of the Polysix. The 2044 low pass filter gave that sound its character and sits at the center of the Polyeight's pure analog signal path. Positive or negative envelope control shapes the filter to create sounds from tight plucks to long blooms. Eight discrete VCOs can be played in dense polyphony for rich harmonies or locked in unison for powerful leads and basslines. Chorus, phaser, and ensemble effects are integrated into the signal path to provide rich textures for strings and pads. Program complex voicings into chord memory and trigger them from a single note. For players chasing the classic Polysix sound, the Behringer Polyeight delivers with more voices and powerful performance features.

Shoyu Station: A Generative Ambient Fish Synth

video upload by Rarebeasts

"Shoyu Station is a generative ambient instrument I’ve built inside a 3D printed fish.

Twist the snout to pick a creature, press the button to drop it in the tank. Each creature makes its own layer of sound: whale calls, deep ocean drones, bubble melodies, slow tidal swells. Add a few and they build up and drift around each other. A small screen inside the fish shows the creatures swimming about.

It runs on an ESP32 with a small TFT screen, a pot for the snout and a single button.

What creature would you like to see in the tank? Tell me in the comments."
