Pluto's Moons (Album) by The Pedalboard Orchestra
Also see The Pedalboard Orchestra's demos of Modern Sounds Pluto Semimodular Synthesizer
"This album presents ten extended ambient soundscapes (approx. 150 minutes total), composed and recorded using the Modern Sounds Pluto semimodular synthesizer as the sole sound source. Pluto’s architecture—featuring five primary modulation engines named after Pluto’s moons (Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra)—served as both a structural and conceptual framework during production.
Each track explores different interactions between these modulators, ranging from FM-based timbral shifts to complex CV-driven rhythmic deviations and slow-evolving modulation cycles.
Across the sessions, the wider effects chain underwent several iterations, incorporating various pedals for filtering, spatial processing, and granular-style textural shaping. However, two components remained consistent throughout:
Modern Sounds Pluto (core synthesis + modulation)
Eventide Space (primary reverb stage, used for long-tail ambient diffusion, shimmer variants, and modulated plate algorithms)
All material was captured as real-time, single-track, one-take recordings, with no overdubs or post-layering. Performance control relied heavily on Pluto’s internal modulation matrix, manual parameter riding, and dynamic interaction between the... more

Many thanks to the brilliant creators of synthesizers and effects pedals -
especially the teams at Modern Sounds, Chase Bliss, Old Blood Noise Endeavors, and Eventide Audio.
Without their innovations, this album would not have been possible.

Kodamo EssenceFM MK1 Demo Part 1
video upload by Panu M Savolainen
"I had chance to have Kodamo EssenceFM MK1 for while. After I played this one, I noticed a bit annoying shimmer fx, so couldn’t remove it and re-record. Didn’t record the MIDI notes, just straight to audio. A bit Eventide Space for additional reverb."

Modern Sounds Pluto - Ambient Soundscapes
video uploads by The Pedalboard Orchestra
"A collection of long ambient tracks based on the Modern Sounds Pluto Semimodular Synthesizer and various effets pedal setups."
Playlist:
1. Modern Sounds Pluto Synthesizer – Ambient Demo & Sound Exploration
These are my first "ten minutes" (okay, the video turned out a few minutes longer 😉) with the Modern Sounds Pluto semimodular synthesizer.
🎧Headphones recommended for the full sonic experience.
In this small setup Pluto is accompanied by three pedals, the Strymon El Capistan v1, the Chase Bliss/Goodhertz Lossy and the Eventide Space in ModEchoVerb algorithm, all in stereo.
Pluto, this tiny little box, is such a fascinating and inspiring instrument. You can get a million and more of sounds out of it.
I love how the filter of Lossy changes the overall mood of the sounds.

Soundtoys Users Donate $61,000 to Médecins Sans Frontières
Up Next: Supporting World Central Kitchen’s Global Relief Efforts
November 18, 2025 (BURLINGTON, VT): Renowned audio effects creator Soundtoys announced a $61,000 donation to Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders, raised entirely through donations made through purchases of its Radiator plug-in.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides emergency medical care in more than 70 countries, providing life-saving treatment to people caught in wars, natural disasters, epidemics, and exclusion from medical services. In recent months, Médecins Sans Frontières has been working tirelessly in conflict and crisis zones, including Gaza, Haiti, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan, amid extreme violence and humanitarian collapse.
This gift continues Soundtoys’ ongoing pledge to direct 100% of proceeds from Radiator to organizations on the front lines of humanitarian and environmental crises. Originally inspired by the warmth and grit of vintage tube gear, Radiator has become one of Soundtoys’ most beloved plug-ins – and a lasting vehicle for giving back. All Radiator sales made at soundtoys.com after November 1, 2025, will benefit World Central Kitchen (WCK). Founded by Spanish chef José Andrés, WCK delivers fresh meals to communities affected by natural disasters, conflict, and climate crises. WCK teams are currently providing immediate relief in Jamaica, Gaza, Haiti, and other areas with urgent needs.
“At Soundtoys, we believe in the power of music to help make the world a better place. And in that spirit, we're committed to raising awareness and supporting human rights, the environment, and people in need,” said Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and founder of Soundtoys.
“I can't say it any better than Chef Andres: 'When people are hungry, send cooks. Not tomorrow, today.”
To participate in Soundtoys’ ongoing giving pledge, purchase to donate at soundtoys.com/product/radiator.
Soundtoys is committed to philanthropy and activism. Over the years Soundtoys has raised more than $870,000 for humanitarian and civil rights organizations, including support for the International Rescue Committee, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders, World Central Kitchen, the Red Cross Society of Ukraine, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Legal Defense Fund, Team Rubicon, and the Gulf Restoration Network.
About Soundtoys: Based in Burlington, VT, Soundtoys was founded in 1996 by Ken Bogdanowicz, the DSP effects designer behind the legendary H3000 Ultra-Harmonizer and the DSP4000 line of hardware signal processors from Eventide.

The Florian Schneider Collection to Be Auctioned at JULIEN*S November 19
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via JULIEN*S

"THE FLORIAN SCHNEIDER COLLECTION
Auction to be held at Musician's Hall of Fame & Museum, Nashville, on November 19
An incredible collection of more than 450 artifacts from the life and career of Florian Schneider, co-founder of the pioneer electronic band Kraftwerk."
Pics and videos featuring some of the gear below, and his Lederhosen for good measure (thanks greg!).
Update: the post has been fully updated with all the synth related gear. This may just well be the longest post to be featured on the site. I wanted to capture all the pics for all of the details including notes, scuffs, and of course serial numbers. It's an interesting look into what he used, the condition he keped his gear, in some cases, how he actually used his gear. Note the phonetics on the keys of the Casio CZ-101 and DX-100. Note the Midi Switch Box with a built-in speaker? What's that about? Note the camouflage key strap on the Korg RK-100 Remote Keyboard. Did he pick it out himself or did the keytar just come with it? Note the repeat midi controllers and the MIDI saxaphones. Wind was his primary instrument. You'll find a ton of the acoustic gear he used in the other listings. This is a fascinating insight into both what and how he used his gear.

Rack Mount Sennheiser VSM-201 Vocoder
Starting Bid $5,000
Estimate $20,000 - $40,000 USD
A late 1970s Sennheiser VSM 201 Vocoder with no serial number from the personal studio and collection of Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk (see images). While it’s said that only a few dozen of these Vocoders were produced, a few examples made it into the hands of forward-thinking musical artists including Herbie Hancock, Daft Punk, and of course, Kraftwerk, who used a VSM-201 like this on their albums Man Machine (1978) and Computerworld (1981). The VSM-201 has an intelligible sound that has not yet been bested by modern gear. Includes power cable. This VSM-201 has been removed from its wooden enclosure (which bears the serial number plate) and modified with a metal rack mount casing, presumably for live use. Requires 240v, IEC power cable not included.
Dimensions: 19 x 9 x 9 inches
Category: Kraftwerk, Equipment
Provenance: PROVENANCE From the Estate of Florian Schneider

Weston Precision Audio - Pro2021 & Fractal Audio VP4
video uploads by Tumeni Knobs
"I recently finished building the Weston Precision Audio Pro2021 from the Synthcube.com kit. It was an amazing experience to build an entire synth from a giant box of parts, and I had a ton of fun. This synth is a clone of the venerable Sequential Pro One from the early 80s and it sounds incredible. It may seem limited but it offers tons of sound design capabilities, and it's certainly a lot of fun to play. Like with most synths, once you add reverb and delay you can't really go wrong.
This is just an informal, not very well prepared noodle on it. The Pro2021 has midi and CV control options on the back panel, and here I'm using my modular rack to drive the clock which drives the arpeggiator rate. The audio outs are going into the modular's mixer, and effects are from the Strymon Starlab and Veno-Echo. This particular patch is highlighting the oscillator sync feature, which I love the sound of. The internal LFO is modulating the pitch of Osc 1 and Osc 2 is set to triangle wave. Sounds big and fat and crisp and clean all at the same time. Cheers!"
Fractal Audio VP4... with a Synthesizer. Is it any good?
video upload by Tumeni Knobs
"Oddly, when researching the VP4, I couldn't find any demos of it being used with a synth, so I bought it anyway to see if it would be a good match. And yes, most emphatically yes, it is! It was immediately apparent they would go well together - and having only played around with the VP4 for a couple of hours, I thought this video might help others decide if it could work for them.
Obviously, the VP4 does so much more than Drive, Chorus, Delay and Reverb, but those are bread-n-butter effects, so I stuck with those for this quick sound demo. I've since messed around with other effects in the VP4, and found all kinds of great sounds.
The synth is a Weston Precision Audio Pro2021 - a clone of the legendary Sequential Pro One. I built this from a DIY kit I bought from SynthCube.com. It's a simple mono-synth, with no built in effects, and it really does sound excellent - and even more so with a little effects (or a lot of effects). It's filter is super resonant and easily gets squelchy, but that enables some of the greatest sounds when you play with the cutoff knob. ;-)
The recording is direct mono out from the synth into the VP4, stereo out from the VP4 to the iRig Pro Duo that's connected to my old iPhone 12. I opened the audio file in Presonus StudioOne to see if it needed some EQ or compression or normalizing, but I decided to leave it completely raw. I made no changes to the audio whatsoever.
So, I am completely sold on the VP4. I have a load of other effects pedals, including the Eventide H90, and this thing is amazing. The quality of the effects and the build are absolutely top notch, and the user interface is so easy to use right out of the box. It's way way way easier to mess with than the H90...
Cheers!"

Faded photograph | Tranquil ambient with Rhodes piano, Prophet VS, Alvarez 12, and FM3 pedal
video upload by MIDERA
"It's been a month. As I said, my wife lost her job in May. We hoped she would get a job that seemed like a great fit, someone had reached out to her and said she'd be perfect. Guess they didn't think so later. Oh well.
I did manage to extract all the audio from my old Roland VS-840GX. I kind of wish I was still recording using that thing, it was so good for just sitting down without a screen and recording whatever I wanted, but using a DAW is just so much nicer.
I had half written the rhodes part on this track, when I ended up recording something else that I plan to put into a rock track (yes, I am trying to get back into writing that type of music). Came back to this last night and recorded this, with some changes. Funny how walking away and coming back to something helps you change it for the better.
I used the Fractal Audio FM3 as a looper to loop the first part and then played everything else over it. The Rhodes and Prophet VS was performed in one go, the guitar was done in a second round with Eventide Blackhole VST for reverb.
Well, I hope you enjoy this - my first track written in a month."

"Demonstration of an Eventide H949, fully serviced, of sale and the pitch control you have over audio."
via this Reverb listing
Pics of the inside below.
"This is fully serviced. All power supply large filter caps replaced, the ground connection from the molex a known failure mode has been tied permanently.
For H910 mode hit the 'algo' button and it will remove the 'deglitch'.
Memory chips, brand new, changed to ones that only run on 5v rail and not three different rails, they run much cooler, also when something goes wrong they don't get cooked. The early DRAMS used by eventide, those that were available were failure prone - the Personal Computer revolution quickly led to better DRAMS - which are deployed in this unit.
Electrolytic caps, tested, replaced for low ESR - top quality the best available
Better quality ceramic capacitors around DRAMS to drop noise floor to the lowest possible. They are mil-spec about £3.50 each for a tiny component and there are 10 of them.
Ripple checked for lowest noise performance possible
Tantalum where there should be tantalum - again the best.
Heatsink compound applied
A lot of the character of this unit comes from two factors; one the early digital use of memory chips to store the audio delay line with ultra fast bit slicing AMD bipolar processing chips and two the DBX companding (x3) - these really resolve the noise associated with early digital and improve signal to noise."
