Minimal Electronic w/ Prophet-10, Moog One, : Arcadia 2025-10-16 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88 — a work of minimal music built from overlapping sequenced phrases that gradually evolve in tone and texture.

All synthesizers are played via MIDI sequences from Ableton Live.

On the Prophet-10, the filter cutoff and resonance are manually adjusted, with the output processed through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky for reverb.

The Moog One’s EG Amount and waveform Mix parameters are manipulated during playback.

The Nord Lead is processed through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for rich reverb.

At the end of the piece, a deep reverb is added across the entire mix using ‪@ValhallaDSP‬ Valhalla Shimmer in the DAW."

Ableton Live Presets: 25 Free Arpeggio Racks. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"🌌 Milky Waves is a collection of 25 arpeggiated presets for Ableton Live Instrument Rack (based on the Meld synth + effects). Each patch explores cosmic, deep, and spacious textures—designed to stretch the boundaries of a seemingly simple synth.
Milky Waves was born from a desire to unlock the creative potential of Meld, Ableton Live’s built-in synth. The aim: to show what Meld can do—transforming simple waveforms into cinematic, spacey, and deeply musical arpeggiators.

New Binary Synth Allows You to Play Binary Code Within Any Given File

video upload by Max Alyokhin

This should go without saying, but don't drop any sensitive, private, or personal files.

"Demo: https://bs.stranno.su

Source code and application principle: https://github.com/MaxAlyokhin/binary...

A web-synthesizer that generates sound from the binary code of any files. It can synthesize sound directly in the browser, or be a generator of MIDI messages to external devices or DAWs, turning any file into a score. All the application code is written in Javascript and along with everything you need is packed into a single .html file of about 750kb. The synthesizer doesn't need internet, it can be downloaded and run locally on any device with a browser.

All data on any computer or smartphone is in the form of files. The contents of these files are ultimately just zeros and ones. And these zeros and ones are basically all the same, so we need an interpreter to extract meaning from these texts. Basically, the file format (.mp3, .docx, etc.) is just a pointer to which interpreter we need to pass the text in order to extract meaning from it.

But what if the file format and the interpreter don't match? In the case of musical experimentation, there have been earlier attempts, for example, to "play" a file through an audio editor, which expectedly produced mostly glitch and noise; it might be more interesting from a conceptual than a musical point of view.

We could go further and write our own interpreter that would look at the files without regard to format, use its own "manner of reading" the original zeros and ones, and on that basis provide a complete system for controlled synthesis of sounds.

The tool, called Binary synth, is available at: https://bs.stranno.su.

The application is a web synthesizer that runs in the browser and is written in Javascript. All the application code along with everything needed is packed into a single .html file of about 750kb.

GAME BOY & Music Easel Ambient Electronica session : Whitecaps 2025-10-14 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with Nintendo Game Boy, ‪@buchlausa‬ Music Easel, and ‪@KORG_INC‬ microKORG S — an ambient electronica track where looping sequences intertwine with random phrases and hand-played harmonies.

The Game Boy runs LSDj, repeating a simple sequence while adding delay using the TIMELINE.

The Music Easel plays arpeggiated phrases, processed through the MOOD MKII with pitch-shift and SLIP effects.

The microKORG S performs synth pads using a long-release tone.

Additionally, in Ableton, field recordings are loaded into the Wavetable synth to create layered pad textures that blend into the performance."

1010music bento ~ The Sampling Synthesizer and Sequencing Workhorse

video upload by RetroSound

"supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

Last week arrived my prize from the Keyboards Synthesizer competition. 🙂 Some of you voted for me. Yes, no vintage synthesizer. :D I promised I would make a demo. And here we are.

Call me crazy, but I couldn't tear myself away from it all weekend. I loaded all my drum machine samples from the last 30 years into the box, along with waveforms from my synthesizers. This thing is a sound and performance monster. Even as a sampling drum machine alone, it's worth its weight in gold. Sampling with extensive editing options such as slicing, chopping up samples, multi-sampling , real-time and step sequencing, granular synthesis, etc. Everything under one roof. Bento works scene-based like Ableton Live, for example, which means you first build the individual components and then put everything together into a song at the end. The advantage of this is that you can rebuild and rearrange the song in real time over and over again.
It's still in the early stages of development and updates are coming out all the time, but even in its current state, Bento is super awesome.

here is the bento:
0:06 Intro
0:18 Sample Processing
1:08 Granular
1:36 Track Programming
2:47 RetroSound Demo Song 1 (Electro)
3:56 RetroSound Demo Song 2 (Synthwave)
5:29 Drum Sample Processing

RetroSound synthesizer demo videos since january 2007.

Arturia MicroFreak Jam – "The Absurd Ninety Percent"

video upload by alloutofsync

"While designing a patch on the MicroFreak, I stumbled upon a strange sound — absurd in a good way — so I turned it into a jam. Now and then, it gives off a Steve Vai–like vibe (3:13-), which I love.

Starting from the init patch, pitch and timbre shift with LFO and pressure. The sequence was entered on a whim, following instinct more than logic.

The rhythm track comes from Ableton Live."

TR-808 Beats & Glitched Voices | Orange Cloud 2025-10-08 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with TR-808, Nord Lead, Grandmother, and OP-1 field. Electronica combining TR-808 rhythms with glitched vocals and layered synths.

The TR-808 is MIDI-controlled, with delay applied to the snare using the DD-6. The modified long-decay circuit of the TR-808 is manually adjusted during performance to accent the kick.

The Grandmother is also MIDI-controlled, with the filter cutoff operated manually.

On the OP-1 field, sampled vocals are performed and glitched in real time using the MOOD MKII.

The Nord Lead plays the lead synth, while additional harmony parts are recorded separately and processed with sidechain compression in Ableton Live."

video upload by Rheyne

"Two patches with the solo voice section of the Strymon SuperKar+ 32-voice string synthesis module, running through a Strymon Magneto delay module. The background synth pad is from a Moog Mavis. Reverb and additional filters are from Ableton Live. Ableton's clock is stopped and is only being used as a mixer for the session. Both patches are sequenced with a Korg SQ-64."

Tech House on M8 Tracker Model:02 & MPKmini : Selectable 2025-10-05 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@Dirtywave‬ M8 Tracker Model:02 and ‪@Akai_Pro‬ MPKmini. Tech house where even kicks and intricate synth tones pass through filters and delay.

The MPKmini is used to control the M8 via Ableton’s MIDI thru. The knobs on the MPK control the filter cutoff of the synth tones and the DJ filter cutoff.
The keyboard is used to play the M8’s MACROSYNTH, with the arpeggiator turned on to generate detailed phrases."

Chromaplane Tuning Website Jam

video upload by Perplex On

"I am really fascinated by the #chromaplane @koma_elektronik but couldn’t justify the purchase yet. But while surfing their website i stumbled across the chromaplane tuning website and couldn’t stop playing with it. 😄 A poor-man’s version of the real deal if you will 😅 In this case, the ipad just mirrors the website and the pen replaces the mouse, which feels even a bit closer to holding the pickup mic of the real thing. By using #blackhole loopback audio driver i was able to add reverb to it and record everything in Ableton."

Exquis - Ableton Live integration (feat Primo Taut)

video upload by Intuitive Instruments

Press release follows:

Intuitive Instruments improves Exquis MPE controller with firmware 2.2.0 update alongside Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Cockos Reaper workflow-merging scripts

SAINT-CYPRIEN, FRANCE: Intuitive Instruments is proud to announce improvements to the award-winning Exquis MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) controller with major updates coming courtesy of introducing firmware 2.2.0 alongside software scripts to merge its workflow with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Cockos Reaper DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) — wholeheartedly representing several simultaneous steps towards the inspirational solutions for music lovers creator’s goal of ultimately making music-making seamless by turning the flagship instrument itself into the ultimate lightweight and compact creative hub — as of September 8…

Exquis enables seamless and natural interaction with all DAW software, MIDI synthesizers, and modular systems by becoming a direct extension of its user’s creativity as an expressive and intuitive MPE controller comprising a hexagonal matrix of 61 backlit soft silicon keys arranged as consecutive notes (semitones) horizontally and harmonious notes (thirds) vertically — from the lowest at the bottom to the highest at the top — that provide independent gestural control over four different dimensions: velocity (strike force), horizontal tilt (X axis — pitch bend), vertical tilt (Y axis — CC#74), and pressure (Z axis — channel pressure or polyphonic aftertouch). Alongside a namesake companion app — itself optionally offering an experience akin to traditional composition software — available on macOS and Windows with support for VST, VST3, and AUv3 audio plug-in formats, Intuitive Instruments’ flagship instrument is intended to provide musicians of all levels with a fun and intuitive way of creating melodies and progressions, fully exploiting sonic potential in the process of doing so — whether working with third-party software over the USB (Type-C) connection, third-party software or hardware synthesizers through the MIDI IN and OUT (minijack) connections, and modular synthesizers via CV (control voltage) with dedicated 0-5V (minijack) connections for GATE (V-Trigger), PITCH (V/Oct), and MOD (pressure or velocity). These top out a lightweight (600g) and compact — 36 mm (H) x 146 mm (W) x 317 mm (D) — desktop design that also incorporates four rotary/push encoders and a six-zone capacitive touch slider, plus a series of selection, undo/redo, and action buttons, providing precise and intuitive control collectively over any user’s sound while enhancing interaction with the app.
