"#funk #jazz #rhodes #nord #moog #arturia #korg #hohner
Here's my latest concoction from the studio featuring the Rhodes EK10 MKIII, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Stage 4, ‪@KorgOfficial‬ miniKORG 700fs, ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬ Polybrute, Hohner Clavinet E7 and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Minitaur. The Rhodes is going through the ‪@rhodesmusic‬ V-Pan plugin during most of the tune, with the solo section using a Line 6 Echo Park and ElectroHarmonix C0ckfight wah-wah pedal. The Nord is using "Swiss Lead" from J3PO's Nord Stage patches ‪@iamj3po‬ . The Clav is going through the Electroharmonix C0ckfight pedal as well. I programmed all drums and used Addictive Drums 2. Enjoy!"

Relativity (CHORDS Roland J-6 + H90 + Pill pedals // DRUMS TR-6S // BASS Arturia Minifreak)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"In this jam I'm using the sequencers of each of the 3 instruments (unlike the previous video [here] where I played the BASS and CHORDS in real-time 😉) .

The jam starts with the J-6 playing the CHORDS, then me adding effects from the H90 (Delay, then Phaser).
The DRUMS are being introduced gradually.
For the drop, commes the punchy BASSLINE from the Minifreak.
Later on, I enabled the Pill pedal triggered by the drums (TR-6S) which ducks the PADS each time the KICK hits in 🦆"

Arturia Drumbrute Impact 64 Polyrhythmic Patterns Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"🥁 Arturia Drumbrute Impact – Poly Rhythms is a collection of 64 polyrhythmic patterns suitable for experimental genres: IDM, techno, dubsteb, trip-hop, industrial, breakbeat, breaks, downtempo, and others.

🎛 In this soundset, I worked in Polyrhythm mode to experiment with complex patterns. In this mode, the percussion becomes almost generative, with no repeating cycles. At the same time, I aimed to preserve the “readability” of the sequences and keep simple core elements, so the sequences don’t turn into a mess.

📦 Get these patterns: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/drum...

The patterns are meticulously crafted: Accents and Color Steps are all carefully programmed.

The sequences are self-sufficient by default, but I recommend interacting with the drum machine for a more interesting and expressive live performance: use Mute and Solo to build your arrangement, Roller for fills, and adjust instrument parameters — especially Decay.
The combination of long and short hits always has a strong impact on the groove.

🕹 You can also bring more variation by using Swing and Random, either globally or per instrument.
⚙️ The collection covers a wide BPM range: 90–154. You can set BPM manually in Internal Clock mode or sync to any external source and its tempo.

💡 The soundset includes only patterns — no sounds/presets/timbre settings.
I added synth parts to the demos to put the drums into a musical context. These synth parts are not included in the soundset.
‼️ Not compatible with the original/first Drumbrute ‼️

Digitakt 2 is a Co-Producer – Track Breakdown

video upload by Sineway

"Obsidian is a track that emerged through working with the Digitakt II.

In this video, I break down the elements of the track, but more importantly how the ideas took shape. Not just what is happening, but how the Digitakt II actively shaped the music.

All synth sounds are sampled from the Arturia AstroLab 37. Rather than sequencing notes directly, full phrases and musical ideas were recorded into Digitakt II and then explored, reshaped and refined from there.

Drum sounds come from Digitone II, sampled and processed inside Digitakt II as part of the same workflow.

This isn’t just a track breakdown. It’s also the starting point for a short series of videos about how Digitakt II has changed the way I approach sample based music production, composition, and discovery. More on that very soon.

Rise Me 🌅 (Arturia Minifreak // Roland J6 Chord Synth + H90 with new granular effect // TR6S)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"Happy New Year my friends! 🎹🔊
May 2026 bring you endless jams, wild synth waves, and machines that push the limits of what's possible. Thanks for jamming with me—here's to more electronic adventures ahead!

For this first jam of 2026, after having used the Arturia Minifreak as only instrument in my 2 last videos, I wanted to try it with a couple of other instruments. In this jam, only the DRUMS (TR-6S) have been sequenced, I'm playing the BASS (Minifreak) and CHORDS (J-6) in real-time 😉

The jam starts with me triggering some CHORDS on the J-6 and adding the cool new granular effect (Grainmod) from the Eventide H90 pedal.
I then fade in the DRUMS and finally play the BASS in real-time.
I'm using the AUTO FILL feature of the TR-6S so that there's a break at the end of each 8-measure.

** Hardware used **

// 🥁 DRUMS:
Roland TR-6S (Digital Rhythm Performer)


// 🎸 BASS:
Arturia Minifreak (polyphonic hybrid keyboard with dual digital sound engines and analog filters)

// 🎹 PADS:
Roland J-6 (Chord sequencer with the tones of the renowned JUNO-60 synth)"

Arturia AstroLab 37 | Ambient explorations

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Exploring the Arturia AstroLab 37 using a variety of its sounds.

00:00 - Piano
01:13 - Pad, soft to bright
05:01 - Bass arp and effects
06:51 - Stunning electric piano
09:07 - Synth string arp
10:28 - Two cinematic hits
10:43 - Vocals and percussion
12:11 - Classic synth
14:00 - Vowelly pad
15:41 - Guitar goodbye

I bought the Arturia AstroLab 37. It can make a huge variety of sounds, many of which aren't a part of my setups already. It sounds really good, as you might imagine. Being able to add piano, electric piano, mellotron, strings, etc. to my songs will allow me to expand the music I make on the table.

The biggest drawback is currently that there is such a large amount of presets I'll never touch on it. I need to basically delete all the presets off it and replace them with Arturia Collection sounds I like. But of course, that's a huge and daunting task.

Anyway, I really like what I was getting out of the AstroLab 37 and can imagine using it in a variety of setups. That said, sometimes what I imagine isn't what actually happens. I should let the future jams do the talking.

Thanks for listening.

Recorded live to a stereo output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Matt Barber - 80's in 80 seconds - Episode 2

video upload by Matt Barber - Sounds from The Sandbox

"80's in 80 Seconds Episode 2 has landed! The first one was a bit fun so let's keep the theme going. This one starts off with a nice "groove" and builds with some synths spanning the decade. If you listen past the 80 seconds the Arp Odyssey briefly shows off its duo-phonic capabilities with a few 2 note chords that almost have a vocoder like effect with the phaser on it just after the 2 minute mark.
The following instruments were used and recorded as a 2 track with no editing or overdubs with each part being played into a pair of Arturia Keystep Pro sequencers. As always, AI free and made with real ingredients. Thanks for watching!

Oberheim DX Stretch - main drums
Korg DDD-1 - perc
Roland TR8-S - additional high hats, rim shot, crash
Berhinger - Model D - Bass
Roland Jupiter 4 - Arp
Korg PolySix - Synth Brass Pad 1
Roland Jupiter 6 - Synth layer 2
Yamaha DX7II - Bell 1
Roland D-50 - Bell 2
Arp Solina - Strings
Arp Odyssey Mkii 2810 - Lead"

"80's in 80 seconds episode 3 is here to start of the New Year! I thought something "new" should be in 'order' after the busy holiday period. Several familiar sounds in this one that can most likely been dialed in on many synths of the era but this one builds with the hardware listed below. All natural...Certified AI and VST free. Thanks for listening!

Drums -
Korg DDD-1 to start with the first hi-hat
Oberhiem DX Stretch - Main kick, beat kick, snare, additional hi-hat, clap, and rim shot
Roland TR-8S - a little kick for attack, snare ghost notes, and high hat movement

Pad 1 - Oberheim OB-8

BASS - Berhinger Pro 1 and Poly D played with the arpeggio on on the Keystep Pro

Pad 2 - Roland D50 layered with Roland JX-8P and Korg DW8000

Bell - DX 7 ....of course it is!

ARP Chords - Roland Jupiter 4."

GLT Audio PM-80 Yamaha CS-80 MIDI Controller

via GLT Audio

For many musicians, owning a CS-80 synthesizer is a dream that’s out of reach - both financially and in terms of required maintenance. While today’s VST replicas sound remarkably close, the true spirit of the CS-80 only comes alive when you have all controls at your fingertips. That’s why GLT Audio created the “Poor Man’s CS-80” — the PM-80, featuring 75 dedicated faders and a ribbon controller, offering an inspiring hands-on experience.

Exponential ⤴️ (Arturia Minifreak) #onesynthonly #fromscratch

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"2nd video with the Arturia Minifreak hybrid (digital/analog) synth, with a OneSynthOnly jam (after the first video where I used 5 instances of the Minifreak in multi-track: • Cinefreak 📽️ (Arturia Minifreak // Conduct... 😉)

The jam starts with me recording in step mode a sequence.
Then the sequence is being played with me tweaking some parameters like adding delay, fading-in the second oscillator (superwave), modulating the analog filter etc.
In the second half of the video, I switched to the mode where I can transpose in real-time the sequence recorded (i.e. you can no longer play over the sequence, when you press on a key, it transposes the whole sequence to this key). What is really cool is that Arturia added the Scale feature which I really love, thus making it possible to transpose within a defined scale like on the Keystep Pro! 🤩"
