From Magazines to MASSIVE MODULAR // Erica Synths Elektor Formant

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The legendary Elektor Formant DIY modular synth from the 1970s is back — and this time it’s beautifully recreated by Erica Synths. In this in-depth demo and review, I explore the history of the original magazine-built Formant, the DIY ethos behind it, and how this modern recreation captures that vintage analogue modular magic.

Originally released as a self-build project through Elektor magazine, the Formant required builders to etch their own PCBs, source components, and assemble modules like the VCO, VCF, envelopes and more. It was true synth-nerd dedication. Now, Erica Synths has made that iconic system accessible again — without the UV PCB lab in your garage.

Building music. Cable by cable. | Ģirts Ozoliņš | TEDxRiga

video upload by TEDx Talks

Spotted this one searching the TEDx Talks channel for the recently taken down Sounds of Tomorrow video. I'm not finding this one with Ģirts of Erica Synths on the site, so up it goes. Note it's from 2019 and an interesting look back on the time.

Video description:
"Instruments can open a world of opportunity for creative expression. And when that instrument is a synthesizer, that opportunity becomes nearly limitless. What does it take to open the floodgates of creative exploration? In the mind of Girts Ozolins, it takes making musical instruments more accessible to the masses. Girts' interest in electronics, electronic music and synthesizers developed when he was only twelve years old. Now he is a founder of Erica Synths, a successful company that develops, manufactures, and exports electronic music instruments. They are used by thousands of people around the world — some worth mentioning include Martin Gore from the English electronic band Depeche Mode and the famous German composer Hans Zimmer.
Erica Synths' main export products are modular synthesizers — they're played in every corner of the world, covering every continent except Antarctica.
Girts strongly believes that electronic music technologies are the best combination of creativity and engineering. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx"

FreqGen - Orbital Drift (Live Modular Performance)

video upload by celldweller

"I haven't done this in a while. No softsynths. No presets. Just raw voltage, evolving sequences, and semi-controlled chaos, captured in real time. Why would I do this? Because I can.

Available on all DSPs Wed, February 4th.
A Celldweller Production.

Patch Notes

I’ve had Intellijel’s Metropolis for a long time and have used it on many songs. A family member bought me Metropolix as a gift and it was time for me to wrap my head around all the upgrades and new features, so that was the impetus for this track and the foundation it was built on.

Intellijel Metropolix to Livewire AFG. Modulating pulse width and harmonic animation with Ornament & Crime. That’s run through one of my fav filters of all time, the Cwejman MMF-2 modulated by the Tip Top Z4000 EG for a bit of snap but mostly as seen in the vid, manual modulation of the cutoff. Hands are handy.

Drums are sequenced by the Erica Synths Drum Sequencer with kick, hats and percussion all in random mode. The Drum Sequencer is controlling the VPME QD & QEX which I loaded up with my own selection of drum samples.

I used Make Noise Pressure Points/Brains for the main played lead, controlling pitch of the XAOC Devices Odessa. Gates fired from PP/Brains trigger another Z4000 EG which mults through a Synthrotek mult to a Pittsburgh Modular VCA and the Roland 521 VCF (The thing I keep looking up at, hoping it would wave or say hi. It never did, but it did an amazing job at filtering the Odessa.)

The little arp I added at the last minute. It lives on another rack which contains all my 5U stuff. Sadly it’s not in the video bc I didn’t know I was going to utilize it when I set up the cameras. Next time. The arp uses all Synthesizers.Com modules, sequenced by the Q119 and filtered by the Q150 Transistor Ladder filter.

Delays and reverbs from multiple Tip Top Z-DSPs. Some EQ & compression and maybe a delay in Cubase which mainly acted as my tape machine to record the performance. As I normally do when I patch, it’s all synced to Cubase clock using Expert Sleepers modules & Silent Way software.

If you read even one sentence from these patch notes, you get a lollipop and if you made it to the end you’re a true legend and clearly as nerdy as I am. 🙌"

Erica Synths Steampipe + Torso S4 // DAY 17 #jamuary2026

video upload by Dexba

"Perfectionism almost killed this video, and for a second, I forgot about the point of #jamuary I recorded, and recorded, and re-recorded, and a few days have passed, back and forth, because I care so much about this sound, this vibe, this balance.
I am not 100% satisfied, but I have to let it go, because otherwise I know for sure I will start to hate these chords, I will have to tweak the sounds once again, I will change the video, and so on.
But I do love the resulting vibe, and I will try my best to bring variations on this theme in some live scenario, maybe with a different controller instead of the OPXY (which I am only using because it has midi via 3.5mm jack and... an audible metronome, I am looking at you, Torso)
I hope you'll like it, now this jam is free to run wild on the internet 🧡"
