Inside Tokyo’s Boutique Music Hardware: Light Reft

video upload by Light Reft [Sasha DZA]

"We run a tiny hardware company in Tokyo and made this short film about why we’re obsessed with noise. We’re thinking about filming a longer documentary about Japan’s small independent instrument makers.

With this video, we want to open a door into the world of Japan’s independent music hardware scene, a world that usually remains outside the attention of a wider audience.

We are Light Reft, a small company founded by a group of enthusiasts in Tokyo. Over the past few years, we have developed and released two instruments of our own - monolit and concrete. You can learn about us on our web-site www.lightreft.jp

But we are far from alone.

In Tokyo and across Japan, there are many small independent companies, workshops, and individual makers creating unusual musical instruments, effects, and electronic devices. Many of them remain virtually unknown outside a small circle of musicians, even though this is where some genuinely interesting things are happening.

This video is only the beginning.

If you would like to see a full-length film about Japan’s independent music hardware scene, meet the people who design and build instruments themselves, visit their workshops, and find out why they do what they do - let us know in the comments.

And please share this video. If we see that people are genuinely interested in this world, we’ll continue and try to show this scene from the inside.

Sound - Sasha DZA (Light Reft)"

video upload by plantssystem

plantssystem will debut the new generative sound engine 'KOSMOS2' at Hamamatsu Micro Maker Faire 2026, exhibited at the ISGK Instruments booth.

KOSMOS2 is a multi‑layer generative audio engine running on the Raspberry Pi Pico2 and powered by the PRA32‑U2/M digital synth engine from ISGK Instruments.

This marks the first public appearance of the KOSMOS2 system.

Designed for smooth, continuously evolving musical structures, KOSMOS2 features:

- 4‑part generative architecture (Melody / Bass / Chord / Sequence)
- PRA32‑U2/M engine providing stable, high‑quality digital synthesis

- Deterministic yet evolving generative behavior
- Real‑time control via external UI and MIDI
- Fully embedded implementation on Pico2 hardware

Hamamatsu — the city of musical instruments — is the perfect place for this debut.
Visitors can experience KOSMOS2 directly at the ISGK Instruments booth."

JP-8000 vs Nord Lead A1 vs Access Virus B — Which One Do You ACTUALLY Need?

video upload by Marc Renton

"The elephant in the room: Roland JP-8000, Clavia Nord Lead A1, and Access Virus B: Three legendary hardware synths from the late 90s/2000s that still hold up today. But which one is worth your money in 2026?

In this video, I go hands-on with all three machines from my studio, playing patches, presets, and sounds I programmed myself. No script, no BS — just honest thoughts after owning these synths for up to 21 years.

What you'll learn:
JP-8000: SuperSaw magic, but what are the real limitations of the filter?
Nord Lead A1: Why it's my go-to synth — and why the Moog filter is a game changer
Access Virus B: The all-in-one machine with 24-voice polyphony... and where it hits a wall
Should you buy hardware or use emulations? (honest take)

These are timeless machines. This knowledge will be valid in 10 or 20 years. Maybe some plugins won't exist by then — but these synths will.
