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 🙂"

Journey West

"Large Format modular synth live studio song.
The new module is a Maneco Labs Sequencer 16 trigger step sequencer. I used it as the main clock source for the rest of the system.
I started with the Maneco Labs Grone dark drone machine module for the opening intro.
The bass line was introduced next using triggers from channel six of the Sequencer 16, with the Corsynth pair of VCO's into the Grove Audio G294A LPF and the Synthetic Sound Labs Tube VCA/Timbral Gate and then on to the STG Soundlabs mixer.
The percussive parts came next. First was a pair of Q206's in Sync mode through a Moon Modular 517S high pass filter. Pitch voltage was from the lower Q960 step sequencer. The pattern pulses were from a pair of Mega Ohm Audio LFO2 modules run through a triple switch module from Lower West Side Studios.
Second part was a single STG Soundlabs Oscillator in drone to the SSL Tube VCA, pulsed by the STG Envelope modified with an LOF to the decay input. Then on through a Behringer Digital Delay. The pattern triggers were from the SSL Geo-Gruvn Euclidean Sequencer.
I used channel 3 from the Seq16 to pulse the SSL VC ADSR with the SSL Woven Spirits module. The SSL Quad LFO was used to fade in and out the pulsing part. The pitch sweeping is done by an LFO to the Harmonic input of the Woven Spirits. The pizzicato string part came next. It was actually the first part I created. The use of channels 1 & 2 from the Seq16 were sent through the SSL Octal Linear VCA with the AD/AR Expander module as envelopes. The sound was from the pair of SSL TZ-VCO's which are pitch controlled by a pair of The Matrix Algorithmic Composer modules. They are sent to a Modcan Dual Delay 73B and on to a Dove Audio D502 Multimode Filter with Hi Pass to Low Pass in 2-pole mode. The reverb is from an UA Golden Reverb in Hall 2 mode.
The final part is the upper Q960 step sequencer with all three rows sending pitch voltages to three oscillators. First row was to the Dove WTF. Second row was to the Mos Lab Moog 901 and 904 array. The third vco is a synthesizers.com Q106. They are mixed and sent to the EHX Grand Canyon in Mod Delay mode. Gate timings from the Moon 563 Trigger Sequencer.
I closed out with the Grone module."

'Dance Arp' the initial integral version of 'We are the fire' with Crumar Bit99 synth from the '80

video upload by Davide Micheli

With vocals further below.

"'Dance ARP' is a music song composed in 2024 by Davide Micheli. Some parts were extracted from it and later used to compose the song 'We are the Fire', released in July 2026 with the Sir Donkey band made by me and my friend Piero Pirani.

The song uses mainly vintage Italian electronic synthesizers from the 1980s

The track was strictly recorded with an analog mixer, similar to what was done in the 1980s, except for the digital conversion of the audio using a 24-bit audio interface and Cubase at 96 kHz.

In particular:
--A1985 Crumar Bit99 synthesizer was used for the Bass, Arpeggio, and Pad parts;
--An Elka Rapsody 610 and an Elka Twin 61 synthesizer from the 1980s were used for the string machine parts;
--A Crumar Multiman S from the 1980s were used for the string machine parts;
--A Elka Rapsody 610 synthesizer from the 1980s were adopted for the vintage '80 piano;
--A CRB Diamond 910 Gold vintage electronic organ of '80 was adopted for organ part on the initial part of music track
--A Korg Prologue was used for the synthetic sound effects.
--A Akai S5000 sampler for some for the strings in a central section of the song.

Finally, for the rhythm section, a Behringer RD-9 Drum Machine with a phaser and stereo modulation effects on some parts was used and you can hear drom going from left to right stereo channel. Hope you enjoy the music."

We are the fire (Sir Donkey band by Davide Micheli and Piero Pirani) recorded in Ankon Record studio

video upload by Davide Micheli Piero Pirani Sir Donkey

"This piece was conceived, composed, and then produced using almost exclusively vintage Italian electronic synthesizers from the 1980s at the private recording studio Ankon Records.

We appositely decided to make use of vintage Italian brand synthesizer to reproduce the music dance atmosphere, sonority and resonances of the Italo Disco dance of '80 era.

We are the fire is a dance music brand that harks back to 1980s music revisited with a contemporary twist. The song features my friend Piero Pirani and I who are the components of Sir Donkey band. A friend of ours, singer Maruzio, sang some parts in falsetto on some of the chorus parts.

The choruses and vocals sometimes have slight imperfections that we deliberately left on the recording without correcting."

VIVALDI - Autumn Part 1 on SIX (5) ARP Odysseys

video upload by Richard Payne

"Been having a pop at Autumn Part 1 these last few days and this take I recorded (take 111!) has come out slightly 'dystopian' sounding and synthy. Have pushed the filters a bit more. There’s a bit of overdrive in places and some wobbly 'pitchy' stuff happening. But lots going on and lots of things to remember to do. Or not to do. This take here was only the 4th time I’d made it to the end, and the first and only without completely ballsing it up.

Odyssey #3 was briefly back in the fold last week and was ably handling the sub bass part all on it’s own, but it started going wrong again and has been taken back to the repair shop. So to cover that part here, I’m bringing in and out oscillator 2 on Odyssey #6, which is set to a square wave an octave down. I’d say a good 80 of those earlier takes that I mucked up were ruined by me forgetting to do this, or doing it badly, or at completely the wrong time. There’s a 'high jeopardy' patch change happening on Odyssey #1 too which I liked to get wrong, transitioning from a short filtery harmony part at the beginning to a long square wave lead line for the slow bit towards the end.

As before, I got the Midi parts online and processed them in Ableton Live. I combined and reduced them down from the 24 orchestral parts to the 5 here. Fixed up a few dodgy notes. Probably added a few of my own. Then I tempo matched to an orchestral performance of the piece, which is probably the fiddliest and most time consuming bit. There were a few more evenings messing with note lengths and refining the tempos further. So, I’ve been using Korg’s Odyssey plugins up to this point in the process, slouching on the sofa on my laptop, but the next step is to move into my little music room and to practice on the actual ones. Spent a couple more evenings working things out there and then a couple of days trying to film a good run through.

It’s certainly tricky trying to adjust each part as dynamically as I’d like when they’re all coming at me in one big terrifying lump. I’m not mixing or even EQ’ing afterwards so I’m battling to keep a good audible balance between the synths as I go. If I get too involved or too “two-handy” on a synth for too long, I’m neglecting the other four and I’ve missed 5 other things I wanted to do. So I’m relying quite a lot on the Decay slider in the envelope section, as it seems to offer a one-stop dynamic shop that I can adjust on two synths at the same time. I’ve modded all of the Odysseys to have a free-running LFOs also, so I can introduce a slow LFO to the filters to keep them shifting about on their own whilst I adjust something else elsewhere.

I have started re-recording these pieces 'properly', one Odyssey at a time, with view to putting them up somewhere for streaming or perhaps even pressing them onto vinyl. Would sound good on record I reckon. You reckon? And I have a whole shelf full of peculiar synthesizer albums from the 60’s and 70’s that it would be an honour to mingle with.

But hey, thank you so much, everyone who showed up and watched the last video. For all the views and subscriptions and above all, the kind and encouraging comments. That was nuts. I didn’t know you lot were coming! Absoutely amazing and thank you sincerely again.

Oh, to wrap up, here the Odysseys are going balanced out into a Behringer ADA-8200 Interface, which is optically connected into the Adat In of my UAD Apollo. They get their 5 channels of Midi note on, note off information down USB from Ableton Live which is in turn recording the audio coming back. I added some Hall Reverb from Arturia’s LX-24 but nothing has been EQ’d. It’s all how it comes out of the lovely boxes. I did however have a Limiter on the main channel, to put a bit of a lid on some of the more feisty bits.

Toodles!"

How Honeysmack jams live techno — 303, 808, modular & more

video upload by Noisegate and Honeysmack

"David Haberfeld — better known as Honeysmack — is a live techno improviser. That means the tracks in his sets are built and arranged in real time in front of an audience rather than pre-sequenced in a DAW. In this studio tour he walks through the hardware he performs with and puts a track together from scratch on the spot.

The rig spans vintage and modern boxes: the Roland TB-303 (the synth-with-a-sequencer that anchors a lot of his sound), Roland's TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines, a Mackie 16-channel mixer, a DJ mixer he's come to use as a performance instrument, Behringer's RD-8 MKII and RD-9 (clones of the 808 and 909, both of which he beta tested), the Behringer Syncussion SY1, a Pro-1 synth and a modular system. Along the way he gets into why the 808 and 909 ended up defining whole genres — and argues it had less to do with how they sounded and more to do with what was simply available at the time.

Honeysmack has a new Live Techno Masterclass coming up on Sunday 26 July at Collingwood Yards, Melbourne:

"Behringer JT-2: My 2 Cents
With all the available 'heavily-inspired-but-not-clones' from Behringer, I’m starting to wonder when the company will introduce original synths again. Anyhow... This time, I’m taking a closer look at the Behringer JT-2, a paraphonic synth inspired by Roland’s Jupiter-8. It comes in similar colours but certainly doesn’t carry over the visual aesthetics of the '80s flagship synth. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as Behringer can keep costs down by using one chassis for a plethora of different models. At a budget-friendly price point, you get a lot of synth in a unit that doesn’t take up too much valuable studio real estate, either. But first things first...
