Luma-mu: bringing the legendary Linn LM-1 to Eurorack

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We are proud to preset Luma-mu, a new Eurorack drum module from our friends at Deftaudio that brings the technology and sound of the legendary Linn LM-1 drum computer to the word of modular synthesis. It implements a single voice of their Luma-1 drum machine (a full recreation of the LM-1) with additional CV controls for the samples, playback modes, pitch, dynamics, and more. It comes with an EEPROM of the original LM-1 sounds that can be easily swapped out for other sounds on EEPROM or a special USB EEPROM emulator (which will be covered in another video).

To find out more, please visit https://deftaudio.com/lumamu

video upload by Julian "J3PO" Pollack

"Julian 'J3PO' Pollack performs 'TuTu' by Marcus Miller, from the album of the same name by Miles Davis.

This music was recorded live, in one take. No DAW was used in the process of making this music except to capture the audio. This first release is part of a new solo performance project. Stay tuned (and subscribe if you haven't already) for more.

Gear used: Arturia Keystep Pro (sequencing), Roland TR-8s, Prophet Rev2, Minimoog, Vintage Vibe Electric Piano. Pedals: Chroma Console, Meris Mercury 7, Mobius, Timeline, Big Sky, Tensor, Ottobit.
The computer in the background is only being used for the purpose of recording the performance. Everything you are hearing is being performed/triggered live from the hardware instruments."

Fragments Vol 2 - Arturia Minifreak V - Patches 33 to 64 (of 64)

video uploads by GEOSynths

"Out Now - https://www.geosynths.com/arturia-min...

Fragments Vol 2 contains 64 new Patches for both the Hardware and the Software Plug-In. In the Demo the Audio is coming from the Plug-In, not the Hardware, though there really is very little difference, if any.

All Controllers (where applicable) are being utilized and have mappings, so Macro Functions may have a single or multiple Functions, as well as the Mod Wheel.

There are lots of textured Pads and Strings, thanks to the added Samples and Granular functions, which I have used extensively, as well as the varied Synthesis methods/Oscillator types.

Bass and Lead, lots of Synth Keys and so much more, including Arpeggios and Sequences, most of which have Tempo synced LFO's etc. This is the 2nd Video demonstrating Patches 33 to 64.

The Patches are played in the order I made them, though in the software they are loaded alphabetically."

Exit Earth 🌍 (Roland SE-02 // S-1 // TR-6S // Cre8audio Boom Chick // Arturia Minifreak // Hapax)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"In this video, I keep exploring the Hapax sequencer’s capabilities even more:
Program changes to switch between different presets (TR-6S and Minifreak)
Automation (enabling and disabling MIDI LFOs controlling parameters on the SE-02)
MIDI effects: Arpeggiator, LFO, Randomizer, Output, Scaler, Swing, etc.
Modulation
Fill button used to make drum breaks, mute some tracks etc.
Conditions for notes to play when a certain condition is met...

All 5 instruments in this jam are being sequenced by the Hapax.

The little trick I used here is that, thanks to the Hapax' MIDI Output plugin, the BASS track or the ARP track can sequence the S1, depending on which MIDI Output plugin I've enabled.

⚠️ Heads up: I miswired the Minifreak, so it’s totally out of phase - if you listen in mono, it’ll disappear. 👻"

Arturia Buchla Easel: Modular Presets + Patterns. Demo Jam

video upload by Anton Anru

"🧬 Genome Patterns is a collection of 64 patches with sequences for Arturia Buchla Easel V. The bank of presets contains dark, deep, atmospheric, harsh and aggressive sounds that have a wide range of uses: from cinematic to modular techno sequences.
🌪️ The soundset is inspired by the biology, cosmic vibe, and modular sounds.
Perfect for Techno, Industrial, Dub, IDM, Experimental, Cinematic and others.

📦 Get these sounds: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/ease...
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).

🧪 All sequences are in the RUN mode, allowing you to change the pitch while playing. Sequences also play in a loop, so they can only be stopped by pressing stop in your DAW or by turning the synth's volume down.
You can use the patterns in playback mode or record them separately and work creatively with the audio file.

🎚️ Each patch is performance-ready, with ModWheel assignments mapped for expressive control and making the preset brighter.

💡 Compatible with Arturia Buchla Easel and Analog Lab.
Contains .mex (Easel) and .labx (Lab) versions.
Make sure you are using the latest software/firmware version.

🔔 Minifreak, Pigments, and Buchla Easel presets can be imported into Arturia Analog Lab V.
If you like these sounds but don’t have Minifreak, Easel or Pigments and only own the Analog Lab V plugin, you can still purchase these sets and load them into Analog Lab V."

Syntakt 1.40 – 7 Power-Ups That Completely Redefine It

video upload by Sineway

"Syntakt firmware 1.40 just dropped - and yes, it plays samples now. But that's not the real story.

After spending serious time with this firmware, I found 7 power-ups that completely change what this machine is capable of. We're talking new oscillator colors, evolving morph engines, harmonic stacking with real instrument samples, character layering that captures the soul of your synths, track linking with analog filter routing, stereo filter panning, and performance upgrades that make jamming more intuitive than ever.

This isn't about drum one-shots. This is about what sampling unlocks for sound design, harmony, and musicality on a machine that already had serious creative depth.

All sounds in this video come from my own sample library recorded from my synthesizers — including the Novation Peak, Sequential Fourm, and Arturia AstroLab 37. The full sample pack and project files are available on my Patreon.

Chapters:
0:00 Intro
0:21 The new machine: SP Twin Shot
0:50 Power-Up 1: Oscillator Mode - Adding new colors to your sound
2:22 Using more traditional oscillators
3:06 How to make a static one-shot sample sound more animated
5:05 Power-Up 2: Morph Engine - Evolving, rich sounds
6:05 Macros make the morphing even more powerful
7:13 Power-Up 3: Harmonic Stacking - Play chords with one voice
9:21 Power-Up 4: Character Layering - Steal the soul of a synth
11:25 How to add sustain to one-shot sounds
12:18 How to fade in the sustained part of the sound
13:09 Power-Up 5: Track Linking - Insanely powerful
14:52 Kick triggering FX Block for lazy side-chaining
15:54 The most amazing part of Track Linking
17:17 How to combine rich digital oscillators with snappy analog filters
18:39 Power-Up 6: Filter Panning - Syntakt can sound WIDE!
20:41 Power-Up 7: Performance Upgrades - Starting with Key Tracking
22:52 Ctrl+All can now be configured

India's Eastern Peripheral Expressway (NE2), with original music

video upload by CatSynth TV

"In our first highway video from India, we explore a portion of National Expressway 2, also known as the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. This 6-lane freeway runs as an outer belt around the Delhi metropolitan area. We cover the segment starting in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, running north to its interchange with the Delhi-Meerut Expressway (NE3). Along the way we cross several other highways connecting Delhi and various towns and cities in U.P., including National Highways 9 and 334C.

Original music composed and performed by Amanda Chaudhary/
Several of the instruments in this composition use an unusual scale and tuning that uses 12 tones taken from 22edo (equal divisions of the octave) tuning, for a more unusual and colorful sound. This including the main mallet pattern played on Arturia Pigments.

Full set of instruments includes:
Arturia Pigments, Pure LoFi-, CP-70 V, Jup-8 V, Delay Brigade, LX-21 Reverb
Cherry Audio SH-MAX, Elka-X, Solovox, CA2600, Crumar Spirit, Stardust 201
