video upload by Catenation aka Dissonant Witchcraft

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on the Elta Music Solar 42N and the Elektron Tonverk. Tonverk is sending out a pulse to sync the Solar 42, while receiving the two channels of the Solar 42N to add effects and stereofy them.

Drifting Between Signals | SEQTRAK, Analog Four & Machinedrum

video upload by Hideo Nakasako

"Tonight's ambient session explores evolving textures from the Yamaha SEQTRAK and Elektron Analog Four, layered with minimal rhythms from the Machinedrum.

The performance gradually unfolds through subtle variations, shifting tones, and gentle movement between melody, texture, and rhythm. Everything was routed through the Octatrack, allowing the sounds to continuously transform and drift throughout the session.

Gear:
• Yamaha SEQTRAK
• Elektron Analog Four
• Elektron Machinedrum
• Elektron Octatrack

Thanks for listening."

Sineway Live Performance - Peak, Digitakt 2 & Microcosm

video upload by Sineway

"My first performance in front of a real audience - two tracks written to fit together, performed live on a small stage at a private event.

The first track is a reimagination of Obsidian (link below), with the Novation Peak taking the lead through the Hologram Microcosm. The second is an original track written specifically for this event, where the Peak switches to the bass role.

The Elektron Digitakt 2 handles all sequencing and arrangement, sampling heavily from the Peak and some from AstroLab 37. The ZOOM LiveTrak L6max makes its first appearance on the channel as my live mixer - more on that later."

BOARDS OF CANADA - Father And Son (COVER - Elektron Syntakt & Prophet REV2)

video upload by nicola neeco

"It immediately stood out to me as one of the most interesting tracks on the record, so I wanted to explore it in my own way rather than recreate it exactly.

I didn’t use the vocal samples, both because they’re difficult to replicate and because I was more interested in focusing on the rhythm and groove created by the synth, drums, and bass working together.

For the sound, I used the Prophet Rev2 for the keys and the Elektron Syntakt for the drums, bass and a pad-like sound.
All the patches and programming were done by me from scratch."

Lox | Twin Monomachine IDM | First pass with the new ems-monomachine-firmware

video upload by MIDERA

"Alright - so I guess someone really cool (Em-) decided to give the Elektron Monomachine new life - I installed this on both my Monomachines and gave it a test. I know there are some bugs, but after reading through them it didn't seem like it would affect what I was doing. I'm extremely excited by the updates, as they address the thing I missed a lot on the Monomachine - independent track lengths. Here you can hear just a single pattern with longer total patterns. Honestly, it's kind of game changing. So thank you Em-. This is great!

Broken Reverb is Better Reverb (free IRs and samples)

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"Get the IRs and Samples here: https://oscillatorsink.gumroad.com/l/...

There's an aesthetic trend in modern effects, especially in ambience effects like reverb and delay, which points towards embracing and accentuating digital imperfection.

It turns out that the glitching, aliasing, distortion and noise that engineers traditionally worked so hard to dial out of gear actually sounds pretty amazing when used creatively and intentionally.

Many FX companies have really embraced this way of working, adding controls to their effects which allow musicians to digitally degrade the sound in wonderful ways - intentionally circuit bending their instruments by design.

Another way, though, to achieve these sounds might be to buy an old, cheap reverb from ebay and circuit bend it. This electronic abuse, forces the unit into leaning into these artifacts whether it wants to or not! The results may be more chaotic, but they might also be even more fun and potentially more affordable.

NINE INCH NAILS - A Warm Place (Cover - Prophet REV2 & Elektron Analog Heat+FX)

video upload by nicola neeco

"This is my reinterpretation of A Warm Place by Nine Inch Nails, originally from The Downward Spiral album.

Instead of recreating the dense layering of the original, I approached the piece with a more minimal setup, using the Sequential Prophet Rev2, routed into the Elektron Analog Heat+FX (for saturation, compression, eq & filter)

The sound of the synth comes from a complex patch I recently designed, actually built as two separate patches, one for each hand (split mode).
There’s a certain tonal character in this patch that reminds me of Lorn’s work: dark, emotional, and slightly detuned. That influence naturally found its way into this version.

This is less about replication and more about translation: trying to preserve the emotional core of the original while reshaping its sonic identity through a different instrument and perspective."

Oberheim DX Full Restoration: How to Add MIDI, Upgrade RAM & Play Live

video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"If you want to see how the Oberheim DX looks from the inside, how to clean the buttons, how to upgrade the RAM, and how to add MIDI to this classic drum machine, you're in the right place.

This machine came to me in pretty bad shape. Dirty on the outside, with some faulty buttons, and in serious need of some love. But honestly? It's not that hard to bring one of these back to life if you're careful and you enjoy working with vintage gear. And if you don't — stick around anyway, because it's super interesting to see these machines from the inside.

I'm walking you through the full process: deep cleaning, how to remove and clean the button contacts the right way (spoiler: cleaning the surface does nothing — you need to go under them), installing the Electrongate MIDI board and RAM upgrade so you don't need a battery anymore, and swapping the plastic panels for the beautiful wooden ones from Electrongate.

Big shoutout to Paul White, whose Electrongate videos were a huge reference for this build. I'm just a student passing the knowledge forward — go check his page, I'll leave the links below.

Once everything was back together and fully working, I put on a jacket — because if I'm performing original music for you, you deserve some respect — and played a live jam using the restored Oberheim DX, the Oberheim DMX, Moog Voyager, Rhodes Mark I, Oberheim Matrix 6R, Elektron Digitakt, and the Roland Space Echo RE-201."
