"Hilariously overbuilt and overengineered, this ASR sampler was Ensoniq's flagship, and with compatibility to the EPS and EPS16+ there's plenty of cool sounds that you can use right out of the gate.

The ASR-10 (Advanced Sampling Recorder) was essentially the third generation of the EPS series of samplers, sharing the same basic architecture and user interface as the earlier EPS Classic and EPS-16 Plus. The ASR-10, like its predecessors, was a true performance orientated sampling workstation, and did not require a computer or additional equipment in order to create a complete song. It included a powerful and flexible effects unit, polyphonic aftertouch, an advanced MIDI sequencer, load-while-playing abilities, and a powerful multi-layered synthesis engine. The supplied "Musician's Manual" lived up to Ensoniq's documentation practice, with a highly readable, very hands-on and quite complete description of the device. There was even an included tutorial that covered many features of the machine, including sampling and sequencing."

"With recently obtaining the Squarp Instruments Hapax to act as my main standalone sequencer, I've been diving deep into all the functions it offers. This is the first track I've made putting together a number of items such as automation, assign controls, creative MIDI effects (register, arpoly, etc.), BPM elasticity, and adjustable start/stop loop lengths. I've added notes in the video explaining some key points for the track and additional equipment used, but below is a more detailed list of the sound sources:

Sine Wave Ambient with Ambient Engine v1.2 & OP-1 field | Archipelago 2026-07-05 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Ambient music created with Ambient Engine ( https://store.atnr.net/ambient-engine... ) and the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field. Sine wave microloops and reverb-soaked synth tones fill the space.

This session uses Ambient Engine v1.2, currently in development. Sine waves are loaded into its four sample players and triggered by MIDI notes from Ableton Live. The resulting sounds pass through Ambient Engine's built-in MicroLoop effect, delay, and plate reverb, forming abstract masses of sound.

On the OP-1 field, a synth pad is performed on the DIGITAL synth with the built-in reverb applied, and the output is further processed with a ‪@strymon‬ blueSky reverb.

FAT Freebass FB383 analogue synth tutorial, review, sound demos: is this a good Roland TB-303 clone?

video upload by ako

"I've been really liking the FAT Freebass FB383 analogue TB303 clone again (even if staying in tune is more of an aspiration than guarantee with this thing). It’s fully analogue and the filter does all the good self oscillating squelchy things you want from a 303 even if it does lack a sequencer (slides and accents can be triggered with MIDI). Some sources claim it's a fairly faithful clone of a TB-303, not sure how valid that is though. For those outside the UK wondering, this synth is just a MAM MB33 with a different paint job. You can also feed audio into this synth and use it as a MIDI triggered enveloped / gated filter, which is kinda cool! Had this set up recently for some acid parts (ofc) and it’s been fun using this synth again so I thought I'd make a video on it - hope you enjoy :)

Chapters:
00:00 - review, background info and basic features (incl. how it differs from a "real" 303 and other clones)

Erica Synths Razornator: Review and Demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Erica Synths Razornator is the 4th 112dB collaboration FX unit and it's a resonator like no other. In this hands-on walkthrough I build an entire track (strings, dubby stabs and thunderous bass) from nothing but short pulses of noise fed into its Karplus-Strong like resonators. If you want to know what the Razornator actually sounds like before you buy, this deep-dive demo is for you.

The Razornator packs 10 resonators (five stereo pairs), a resonant low-pass filter, +24dB of input gain, a built-in compressor and an envelope follower — all fully MIDI controllable. Originally a 1983 Karplus & Strong algorithm for plucked-string and percussive tones, Erica Synths and 112dB have turned it into a wildly flexible tone-generation and sound-mangling machine. I run through the signal path, the root/offset tuning, the gorgeous presets by Eraldo Bernocchi, and push it hard with synths, hi-hats and kicks. Resonator, but not as we know it."

23:00 Final Thoughts



"A unique stereo FX unit with an algorithm developed by Dutch company 112dB, the Razornator features 5 chromatically tuned resonating delay lines that can emulate the resonance of physical objects - bodies of instruments, rooms, structures. Chromatic tuning of the resonating delay lines makes the effect particularly musical, because it allows for aligning them in chord-like intervals, while the built-in envelope follower adds dynamics to the processed signal. Featuring 12 parameters for detailed sound design, save/recall functions for all parameters, MIDI control over all parameters and a sleek aluminium case to match our lineup of compact desktop units, the Razornator will let your setup take flight in any live show, studio or sonic experiment.

The Razornator combines several well considered and tuned “modules” for stereo audio processing with the aim of altering the harmonic content of the incoming signal. The signal path starts with an audio GAIN STAGE that boosts signals up to +24dB (it can effectively act as an analogue overdrive), then the signal is fed through the lowpass FILTER with a RESONANCE control and after filter treatment it passes through five chromatically tuned DELAY-BASED RESONATORS that can be manually tuned or controlled by the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER. After the resonators, the signal is summed and limited by the COMPRESSOR, then mixed with the dry signal and passed through the EQUALIZER and finally is sent to BALANCED OUTPUT stage.

Kevin Parker Built a Synth and It's Actually Incredible: Telepathic Orchid Reviewed (Plugged In)

video upload by Splice

"What happens when you plug the Telepathic Orchid into Splice INSTRUMENT and let it run? In this Plugged In Splice's Devon Johnson ‪@dontgodcj‬ finds out — and the results speak for themselves.

The Telepathic Orchid, co-created by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, is a chord-generating synthesizer designed to help producers and songwriters find musical ideas fast — without needing deep music theory knowledge or traditional keyboard technique. Paired with Splice INSTRUMENT, it becomes something even more powerful: a way to explore sounds and progressions at the same time, in the same session.

In this video, Devon unboxes and demos the Telepathic Orchid and its various creative uses and incredibly chord generating technology. He then uses the Orchid's chord logic system as a MIDI controller to trigger sounds inside Splice INSTRUMENT, building a full beat from scratch and showing exactly how the two tools work together in a real production workflow. From dialing in chord voicings and inversions on the Orchid to flipping through Splice's instrument sounds in real time, this is hands-on and unfiltered — no templates, no pre-built loops, just the tools doing what they're built to do.

Whether you're already a Splice user curious about the Orchid, an Orchid owner wondering how to integrate it into your DAW setup, or just a producer looking for a new way to create new chord patterns — this one's worth watching all the way through.

The MONK Project Hardware Sequencer - Updates - GearExpo UK 2026

video upload by sonicstate

"Great to catch up with Nick Monk who was showing the Monk Project again after its success at the London Synth & Pedal Expo.What sets this sequencer apart is its combination of 16 customizable channels and a unique theory engine. While it features traditional step sequencing it also incorporates a wide range of generative models using its music theory engine to ensure musical coherence. This allows you to control melody outputs, toggle randomness, or block non-conforming notes.

The sequencer includes a phraser using Markov chains for recording and manipulating musical phrases and a new feature Nick calls HI (Human Intelligence). HI enables the machine to learn and create statistical tables based on your playing style. Nick elaborated that these features are on top of its basic step-sequencing capability.

Aimed for niche and professional composers, prospective uses span from simple MIDI creations to algorithmic music generation. The sequencer is aimed for production with pre-orders starting after summer, requiring a minimum of 20 orders to initiate a prototype run. CV and gate connectivity is also planned and in the works."
