Bad Gear - He tried his best to HATE IT

video upload by AudioPilz

[Funny side note: I just saw that episode of Myth Busters with the truck plowing through cars, just yesterday.]

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. There are a few learnings to be taken from years of ploughing through music production gear like an 80s rock band shopping in a liquor store: don’t believe the hype, everything has been done before and never trust a stylish instrument sold with the promise to give you all you need in a compact form factor without compromising sound quality and usability.

Today we are going to talk about Dirtywave M8. This hardware tracker and mini DAW comes with more red flags than the average dating app experience like a cult-like following, a Game Boy-inspired workflow and believe me - I tried my best to hate it.

Ensoniq ESQ-1 Analog/Digital Polyphonic Synthesizer Workstation w/ Cartridge SN ESQ-35724-D

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

"This listing is for a vintage 1980's Ensoniq ESQ-1 Analog/Digital Polyphonic Synthesizer Workstation that comes with an Ensoniq Sequencer Expander Cartridge and power cord. This synthesizer is in good physical and working condition. The winning bidder will receive exactly what is pictured.

The Ensoniq ESQ-1 is a 61-key, velocity sensitive, eight-note polyphonic and multitimbral synthesizer released by Ensoniq in 1985. It was marketed as a "digital wave synthesizer" but is actually an early music workstation. Although its voice generation is typically subtrative in much the same fashion as most analog synthesizer that preceded it, its oscillators are neither voltage nor digitally controlled, but true digital oscillators, provided by a custom Ensoniq wavetable chip. The signal path includes analog resonant low-pass filters and an analog amplifier.

introducing midiphy zetaSID: expandable modular SID synth voice

video upload by midiphy

"midiphy proudly presents: zetaSID expandable modular SID synth voice

The legendary SID chip reimagined as an expandable modular synth voice: powerful synthesis engine, animated OLED display, and polyphony-expandable.

zetaSID is a powerful eurorack modular synthesizer voice packed into just 4 HP, expandable via the new midiphy phybus backplane link. Start with a single monophonic voice controlled via CV/gate and scale it to a full polyphonic MIDI synthesizer with up to six stereo voices with MIDI control. At its core lies the legendary MIDIbox SID synthesis engine, featuring six LFOs, dual envelopes, quad wave sequencers, eight modulation paths with dozens of sources, algorithmic operations, and an extensive trigger matrix.

It ships with 100 carefully crafted patches in its ROM bank, ready to use as-is or as inspiration for your own creations.

zetaSID is an expandable powerful SID voice covering a wide range of tones and textures, from classic chiptune staples to sounds you might not expect from a SID chip.

midiphy 4 x zetaSID Song

video upload by Avrilcadabra

"Hi everyone, These are midiphy eurorack modules.

Disclaimer I have marked this video as Paid Promotion although I was not paid to make this or any video, I was sent these to test before release.

The zetaSID modules are based on the legendary Midibox Sid Synthesizer.
They contain the lead and drum engines from the Midibox Sid and use Hermits (creator of Sid Wizard tracker) Sid emulation.

Each zetaSID contains 3 voices and filter as you would expect from an Sid chip ( The Sid chip is the sound chip from the legendary Commodore 64 home computer from the 80's )

So each zetaSID is a like one commodore 64. If you have multiple zetaSID's they can be linked together with supplied ribbon cables internally to add them to the Phybus, midiphy's way of having all modules being able to talk to each other. They then can work in unison, as stereo pairs, monophonically or for polyphony so a lot of different ways to use them. Of course I wanted to test how I could use them multitimbrally, and in this example I have them unlinked (not physically you can do it from the menus)

The midi module is Nexus Midi by midiphy and allows you to control the zetaSID's via regular midi over the Phybus (they do support cv gate also)

zetaSID 1 is using the drum engine, here I have split, kick, snare and hats over different voices on a single zetaSID, so indeed you can play a kick, hat and snare at the time time if patched this way.

zetaSID 2 is the lead sound, it is going through some hall reverb in this example. It shows off legato bends and using the impressive wave sequencer to increase vibrato over time (like tables if you are familiar with trackers)

zetaSID 3 Uses the Arp to provide classic c64 Arp sounds, I am just sending chords to this module over midi and it is handling the arps itself. It actually has 3 arpeggiators, one per voice, so a stereo pair of zetasids can run SIX arps with completely different settings at the same time from a single patch, impressive.

zetaSID 4 Is using one of the factory presets Den of Saws, I've just high passed it a bit since we are using a lot harmonically rich voices in this song.

This was midi sequenced via a Dirtywave M8 Tracker.

I will show more of the zetaSID's, as they are very powerful and very deep, the amount of modulation they have is outstanding even has Logic Gates, you can literally XOR lfo's together and I need to say if you are seeing this video and thinking you want like to write songs on these that program change isn't currently implemented, but is a high priority on the roadmap.

If you like my music I have a bandcamp here https://avrilcadabra.bandcamp.com/
And you can find me on streaming services and socials also."

"🌌 'Dystopian Frames' is a collection of 50 atmospheric and dark cinematic presets for Kilohearts Phase Plant, created for producers who are drawn to mysterious space textures, drifting pads, expressive strings, and deep evolving drones.

The soundset moves between soft, distant atmospheres and darker, unstable tonal landscapes—making it suitable for both musical composition and sound design.

🧿 The bank of presets includes: 12 Pads, 11 Strings, 15 Textures, and 12 Drones.

📦 Get these sounds: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/phas...
👤 The author of the soundset is Ilian.

💎 The soundset is built around depth, space, and tension, with a subtle cosmic character running through the collection.

🎛 Each patch includes 8 Macros that give you direct control over tone, modulation depth and speed, noise level, distortion, detuning, space, and effects balance. They can be automated in your DAW or controlled via a MIDI controller for fast and intuitive sound shaping.

The ModWheel adds brightness and expression.

🌠 The sounds work especially well for ambient, dark ambient, cinematic, experimental, IDM, industrial, and atmospheric electronic music.

It is also suitable for films, games, trailers, and other projects where mood, scale, and tension matter.

Introducing Trails: Polyphonic Touch Recorder

video upload by Bela Platform

"Trails is now available for pre-order only on our shop: https://shop.bela.io/products/trails

Trails is a four-channel touch recorder for Eurorack that captures finger movement as musical structure. Melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and control elements can be composed simultaneously through gesture and shape, then transformed in space and time to create evolving contrapuntal and polyrhythmic relationships.

With both CV and MIDI output, Trails can sit at the centre of a modular system while also controlling hardware and software instruments. Gestures can be stored across scenes, recalled in performance, and used either as smooth continuous signals or quantised musical material.

LIGHTREFT x ELEKTRON [CONCRETE TEST]

video upload by Sasha DZA

"We are currently deep in the testing phase of Concrete, fine-tuning exact parameter values and exploring multiple configurations to achieve a balanced yet powerful sound. One of its primary roles is to act as a master device in a live setup.

In the current test routing, Monolit sequences tracks over MIDI in the Octatrack. The audio from the Octatrack goes directly into Concrete, and from there a second output feeds the main master signal to the speakers.

We will be sharing more test sessions soon, where you will be able to hear different drive engines we have been developing, as well as several additional features that were not part of the original announcement but emerged during the development process."

MultiVERSE - New Multiversal Shared System | NUSS Episode 05

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I got my MultiWAVE in december 2025, but got distracted by my January 2026 'musical holiday' and making the 'AI Survival Guide'. Meanwhile, MakeNoise has posted a wealth of videos and guides, and Red Means Jeremy did one of the best musical demos out there. There's no need to repeat any of those. I needed to do 'my own thing', but couldn't really figure out how this would look like.

My favorite modular will always remain the Shared System because this is what made me start modular in the first place, all the way back to 2018. The 'Shared' is my reference. So I wondered how MultiWAVE would sound as a shared guest and move my way to the full NUSS setup. NUSS is very much a new ecosystem and it's a bit 'closed' in the sense that you really need the combo of MultiWAVE, PoliMaths and the dual QXG to get started. Sure you can use them on their own (especially QXG) but you'd be in the unexplored territory of the MultiVERSE. However, this is where the happy accidents live. In the odd combinations and the bad patching.

So in this episode there's more noise than music. When the midi implementation firmware is available, this may change."

The Living Room - an idea/sketch Zoia, M8, Razzmatazz, NTS-3, MT-32 pi

video upload by Arman Bohn

"An 'in progress' sketch for an OST I'm working on.

My 2nd Zoia patch, 'Dream Shrine #2', is a four voice, generative synth thingy with master tempo and adjustable meter for each voice. The voices are routed through a reverb and ping-pong delay module. The four voices are also sending MIDI notes out on different channels - which are triggering 2 harp voices, a vibraphone and a celeste voice on the MT-32.

The Zoia patch is also sending clock sync out to the Razz to keep it in tempo. The M8 is playing back creepy public domain samples from an old-sci radio show about an alien that haunts your dreams called "The Green Thing".

NTS-3 is chopping the drums.

Not sure if this will be the final configuration - I'd like some bass in there as well. Just playing around at this point.

The album is an ambient-ish OST that should be out by this summer!"
