"Cherry Audio's Pentaphonic synthesizer revives the ultra-rare polyphonic hybrid synthesizer originally developed by Gleeman Instruments in 1981. With fewer than 70 units ever produced, this synthesizer is legendary for its rich tone, distinctive design, and pioneering sequencing capabilities. This emulation faithfully reproduces the lush sound of its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) and analog-filter architecture while capturing the visual essence of the synthesizer "made to be seen, not just heard."

https://cherryaudio.com/products/pent... Cherry Audio has taken its capabilities to new heights with expanded polyphony, expressive performance, polyphonic and parameter sequencing, and a library of studio-quality effects. Our visual makeover offers a choice of stunning designs inspired by the various looks it sported during its brief existence."

Cherry Audio Pentaphonic: A rare synthesizer masterpiece reborn

video upload by CatSynth TV

"CatSynth presents a deep dive into the new Pentaphonic from our friends at Cherry Audio. This is a recreation of the extremely rare Gleeman Pentaphonic synthesizer, complete with its unique look featuring crystaline transparent knobs and a translucent body. The Pentaphonic was an analog polyphonic synth with a few twists, including three digital oscillators with microcontroller-generated waveforms that were fed into an analog Steiner Parker filter. We explore the emulation of these unique features as well as Cherry Audio's enhancements for modulation, effects, and motion. We also check out a few of the factory and expansion-pack presets.

AstroLab 2.0: It's a Proper Synth Now?

video upload by Sineway

"AstroLab 2.0 goes straight at the biggest criticism of the AstroLab: that it's just a preset player, not a proper synth. The headline feature is Sound Edit, which gives you real synth parameters like envelopes, filter and glide right from the front panel, and you don't need a computer or the V Collection license to use it. So is the AstroLab still just a keyboard full of presets, or is it starting to become something else?

Arturia gave me early access to the update, so I've had time to dig into it before release. In this video I show how Sound Edit changes from preset to preset depending on the engine underneath, revisit the AstroLab vs MiniFreak question now that both instruments have changed, and play some of the presets in a musical context.

The Usual Suspects Blue Giant – Novation Supernova II Emulation

video upload by Autodafe

"A quick NO TALKING sound demo of Blue Giant by The Usual Suspects, the new simulator of the legendary Novation Supernova II.

Blue Giant recreates the original hardware using DSP56300-series DSP emulation and the original Novation ROM. Like the Supernova II, it offers an 8-part multitimbral architecture, up to 24 voices, three oscillators per voice, multimode filters, extensive modulation, arpeggiators and the original multi-effects system.

In this video I’m simply browsing through a selection of sounds and presets — no talking, just Blue Giant in action.

The Supernova II was one of the iconic virtual-analog synths of the early 2000s, and Blue Giant finally brings its distinctive sound into the DAW."

Levitate Expansion synth from Synamodec

video upload by Synamodec

"Hi everyone, this is the Levitate Expansion synth from Synamodec.
The Synamodec Levitate Expansion is a massively upgraded version of the original standalone desktop synthesizer. While the standard Levitate primarily consisted of just three simplified blocks (Legus, Neura, and the Nxpctd delay), the Expansion turns the machine into a deep semi-modular instrument by adding the following new modules, expanded sections, and dedicated processing blocks: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

1. New Sound & Modulation Modules
• "Crazy" Module: An entirely new, dedicated noise/sound generator designed for extra sonic chaos, which includes its own LFO and EQ controls. [1, 2]
• 6 LFOs (Low-Frequency Oscillators): The standard edition had highly limited internal modulation. The expansion adds 6 independent LFOs distributed across the modules (e.g., inside Legus, Crazy, the VCFs, and the Phaser/Delay) to dynamically modulate parameters. [1, 2, 3]
• VCA & Dedicated Envelope Generator: A full Voltage Controlled Amplifier accompanied by a dedicated ADSR/Envelope generator and a Gate/Trigger output for syncing with external hardware. [1]

2. New Audio Processing & Effects Blocks
• Dual VCF (Voltage Controlled Filters): Two filters designed exclusively for this edition with individual level controls for external inputs, high-pass (HP) and band-pass (BP) outputs.
• Phaser / Delay: Replaces the basic delay block with an advanced Phaser/Delay unit capable of extensive CV modulation.
• Dedicated Fuzz & Distortion: Two distinct, independent analog overdrive circuits allowing you to grit up your signals separately.
• 6-Band EQ / Filter: A fixed frequency equalizer section to shape the tone of your mix.
• Master Mixer: A comprehensive mixing stage featuring physical levels and a lever to blend pure audio signals with heavily processed ones. [1, 2, 3]

3. Expanded Features on Existing Blocks
• Legus Expanded: Upgraded with an extra exterior output, an external audio input, and 2 integrated CV inputs.
• Neura Expanded: Boosted into a Triple Oscillator setup featuring an increased count of signal generators and a dedicated external output. [1, 2]

4. Eurorack Patch Points
Unlike the standalone standard unit, the Expansion adds a vast matrix of external CV inputs and outputs. This allows every module to cross-patch internally or interact seamlessly with external Eurorack gear.

If you're interested, send me a message and we can chat. It’s on sale throughout October. miguel@synamodec.com"

Nord Modular G1 emulated in Gearmulator: it finally makes sound | #1

video upload by animatek

Patreon patches, downloads, and exclusive content - / animatek
The emulated Nord Modular G1 is now playing: the original G1 OS running on a computer, using Gearmulator, and controlled from my Animatek NME editor as if it were the real synth. First test, in pre-alpha phase.

⬇️ IN THIS VIDEO ⬇️

I document the first sound from a Nord Modular G1 emulator. The original G1 operating system runs on an emulated 68331 processor and loads its programs on four emulated DSP56303s, with the same kernel that Gearmulator uses for the Nord Lead 2X. The Animatek NME editor connects via PC Port and loads patches with oscillators, a mixer, and filters onto the virtual G1. And just like with the hardware, I close the editor, the synth continues playing, and when I open it again, it retrieves the patch.

This is a snapshot of the development process, bugs and all: clicks, filters that aren't working yet, unfinished clocks and sequencers, and empty banks. The emulator isn't released yet, and no ROMs are being distributed. This is episode 1 of the emulator's development diary. I'll upload a new one whenever there's a noticeable improvement.

just look at the past (Yamaha YM2151 + Yamaha YMZ280B)

video upload by Vivi The Pumpkin King

Fun video featuring the Yamaha YM2151 + Yamaha YMZ280B voice chips. Interstingly, you'll find previous posts mentioning the YM2151, but not the YMZ280B. This simply implies the YM2151 is more comonly used in DIY projects.

"The Yamaha YM2151, also known as OPM (FM Operator Type-M), is an 8-channel, 4-operator sound chip used for frequency modulation (FM) synthesis in 1980s arcade games, home computers, and synthesizers."

Key Features

Voices:

Plays up to 8 simultaneous sounds or channels.

Data Formats: Supports 4-bit ADPCM, 8-bit PCM, and 16-bit PCM waveform data.

Memory: Connects to up to 16 MB of external ROM or SRAM for storing sound data.

Output: Delivers stereo output with 4-bit/16-level panning for each individual voice.P

rocessors: Links with an external digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and can connect to a Yamaha YSS225 effects processor for extra channel processing."

"The Yamaha YMZ280B, also called PCMD8, is an 8-channel PCM and ADPCM sample-based sound chip made by Yamaha Corporation in the mid-to-late 1990s.

Key FeaturesChannels and Operators:

It supports 8 simultaneous channels of 8-note polyphony with 4 operators per channel.

Sound Generation: It includes built-in noise generators, LFOs for vibrato and amplitude modulation, and timer circuits.

Companion IC: It requires an external digital-to-analog converter (typically the Yamaha YM3012) to output stereo audio.

Common Uses

Arcade Machines: Atari's Marble Madness (1984) was the first arcade game to use the YM2151 for FM synthesis, leading to widespread adoption in arcade hardware.

Home Computers: It powered the sound boards in sharp computers like the Sharp X68000 and the Yamaha CX5M music computer.

Synthesizers: Yamaha utilized the chip in early budget keyboards and sound modules like the DX21, DX27, and DX100."

KORG Polysix – Vintage 80s Analog Synthesizer Demo | Cosmic Sounds

video upload by RetroSound

"🚀 Korg Polysix + Korg KR-55B = pure vintage cosmic electronics

Take a journey into the cosmic side of early-1980s analog synthesis.
In this demo, I'm using only two classic Korg machines: the legendary Korg Polysix analog synthesizer and the Korg KR-55B rhythm machine.

No DAW. No modern plugins. Just vintage analog hardware, simple sequencing, and the unmistakable character of early-80s electronic music.

The Polysix is a classic 6-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer, featuring a VCO with sawtooth, pulse and PWM, a sub-oscillator, resonant low-pass filter, ADSR envelope, LFO, arpeggiator, chord memory and built-in analog effects.

For this demo, I pushed the Polysix into a more cosmic, atmospheric and spacey direction, while the KR-55B provides the vintage rhythm foundation.

If you love vintage synthesizers, analog sound, retro electronic music, spacey synth sounds and classic drum machines, this one is for you.

Headphones recommended — turn up the volume and enjoy the cosmic analog atmosphere."

Oberheim TEO-5, Moog Minitaur, Volca Keys Analog Cybersynth

video upload by Scott Nellé - Plague Society

"As I close in on 1000 subscribers, I hope you'll join for the journey! Like and subscribe if you're new here and you enjoy hardware synth demo tracks. This is a sort of Cybersynth track played on three analog synths at very different price points. It's sequenced in my DAW, along with drums also from the DAW because I ran out of table space! The main synth here is the Oberheim TEO-5, playing a factory preset. In the intro it's playing a pluck, a lead, and a bass note across the five voices. Lead and bass get shifted to other synths later in the track. After the first time through, I add a ping-pong delay from the Zoom MS-70CDR+.

The main rolling bass comes from the Moog Minitaur straight into the DAW. No effects on the Minitaur this time, just the raw sound.

Mid way through the track the Korg Volca Keys takes over lead duties playing a patch with a fast LFO modulating the cutoff frequency. It's running through my Keeley Caverns V2. As a goth, I needed the special glow in the dark edition with bats and spiders on it, of course."

The best groovebox he's ever played | Akai MPC Key 37 G2 live performance

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer performance using only the MPC Key 37 G2.

To be clear: I bought this synth with my own money, thanks to the support of my Patreon community. So while I recognize that the following praise seems effusive, it's the truth.

I got into hardware through grooveboxes. I started with the Novation Circuit and got more complex from there. The groovebox—sequencer, multiple timbres of synth, drums, samples, and effects—is my happy place. And while many devices have been good, I've never found "the one", that one groovebox that does everything you want it to do. Until now, maybe.

I've played with MPCs quite a bit over the last few years, but this newest generation, and this model in particular, is the one. It's a combination of things: a mature platform with fast loading and workflow; every conceivable sound type I want, from synths to samples to piano; a robust collection of effects, with great reverbs, delays, and ways to mess up a sound; more tracks than I'll ever need for a song; a sequencer without the limitations of 64 or 128 steps; clip launching; simple audio recording in; auto-sampling to capture your own sounds; MIDI in and out via 5-pin DIN and USB; MIDI learn with peripheral MIDI controllers that works flawlessly; USB multi-track audio recording that just works without a hitch; so much more.

This Analog Synth Is Cheating - Redshift 6 + Digitakt 2 Jam

video upload by Sineway

"This is the first proper track I've made with the Redshift 6 and Digitakt II combo.

The 3-note chord stab you hear at the start is using a single analog voice. The Redshift 6 can distribute the up to 16 oscillators inside a voice across several notes, so one voice plays the whole chord. The arp is another single voice. Then the lead takes the remaining four with unison stacking, around 16 oscillators in total, and I'm performing it with both the built-in macros and the Launch Control XL 3.

The Redshift 6 is six-part multitimbral, with three separate outputs. The main outs play the lead, run through the synth's internal delay, but Aux 1 and Aux 2 are always bypassing the digital FX section - which felt like an invitation to put both Hologram pedals to real work. The arp goes into the Chroma Console, and it completely transforms what was a fairly plain pluck sound I dialed in seconds. The chords go into the Microcosm to make them bigger.

Everything else melodic was sampled from the Redshift 6 into the Digitakt II, which is doing all the sequencing and drums.

No Overbridge this time. Just four stems into my Zoom LiveTrak L6max: the DT2, plus the Redshift's main outs, Aux 1 and Aux 2. Some sidechain ducking, glue compression and EQ in Ableton, and that's about it. Mostly raw hardware.

I originally sketched this in the camper van with just the DT2, and went through three or four lead melodies I wasn't happy with before landing on this one. All those attempts are still in the project file if you want to see the messy version.

There's no official patch export on the Redshift 6 yet, but Supercritical tells me it's coming and I'll upload the patch as soon as it does. The Digitakt II project is on my Patreon in the meantime."

Coming Soon : NerDie - inspired by SOMA RoAT (sound only, no words)

video upload by Diego Capoccitti

Follow-up to OktaDie and .

"No tutorial. No voiceover. No slides.

Just NerDie, a synth inspired by SOMA RoAT (Rumble of Ancient Times), played live, and the sound that comes out of it.

NerDie is an 8-bit noise synthesizer and sequencer — AAX, VST3, AU, AUv3 (iOS) and Standalone. The engine runs on integer uint8_t arithmetic at a fixed chip rate: overflow, wrap and quantization aren't simulated after the fact — they are the signal.

What you're hearing:

· 4 8-bit oscillators, 16 waveforms each, 19–1350 Hz
· 4 LFOs modulating pitch or level
· 3 mix topologies × 3 nodes × 8 algorithms = 1,536 ways to sum them
(addition, overflow, subtraction, ring mod, XOR, FM, waveshaping)
· Resonant 8-bit lowpass filter
· One-bar sequencer with overdub, master/slave clock
· CHAOS for instant chaos, drift for the slow kind, RND for a full patch
rendered and measured before it arrives — so it always plays
· 32 registers across 8 pages
· MPE: four oscillators, four voices — press, slide, strike and bend routed
through a matrix that decides what they move
· Pixel interface, two views: the panel, with hardware-style pot pickup,
and the matrix, with all 32 registers in sight for DAW work

Recorded in one take, no post-processing on the audio.

Headphones recommended.

Coming soon!

Formats: AAX · VST3 · AU · AUv3 · Standalone (macOS, Windows, iPad, iPhone)

Voidcontrol MIDI Releases the Typhon Unofficial Assistant

Typhon Unofficial Assistant - Demo video upload by Voidcontrol MIDI



"Voidcontrol MIDI has released the Typhon Unofficial Assistant, a software controller and patch librarian for the Dreadbox Typhon.

It brings the Typhon's sound onto the screen, adds full DAW automation, and keeps a library of your patches on your computer. Because the Typhon shares its sound parameters over MIDI but not its patch storage or internal routing, this is an Assistant rather than a full editor: it focuses on live sound control and patch management.

Features:

Live control of every parameter the Typhon exposes over MIDI, laid out by section
One-click read of the current sound from the hardware
Full DAW automation with real automation lanes, not just MIDI learn
A 32-step sequencer that locks to DAW tempo or MIDI clock and plays the Typhon, with per-step gate, tie, velocity and gate length, plus global division, swing and probability
A lossless patch library with naming, categories, favorites, search, and single-file or full-bank import and export
Preset export to .typhonpr for use with Dreadbox's own Preset Manager
A standalone version for use without a DAW
Init and randomize
