Yamaha - EMT 10 AWM Sound Expander - Sound Demo

video upload by Runningonair

"In this video I demo sounds from the Yamaha EMt-10 AWM sound expander, released in 1989. The patterns vary in usefulness but the lofi digital sounds (8/12bit) could be good for sampling. The individual sounds can apparently be played via a midi utility, but I've not looked into that so far.

All patterns are at 120BPM, for those that would like to try them out."

Getting started with the T1: Track types

video upload by torso electronics

"In this tutorial, we guide you through the three track types on the T1: Note, CC and FX. You’ll learn how to create note patterns, use CC tracks to control and automate parameters on instruments like the S4, and use FX tracks to process incoming MIDI.

Along the way, we’ll explore random modulation, slew, step edits, scales and Hold Mode, and see how combining track types can bring movement to your setup.

Dirtywave M8 Syntax 2025 one track challenge compo entry

video upload by Avrilcadabra

"Syntax is an Australian demoscene party, While it mostly is a celebration of coding and tracking for 8 and 16 bit computers they do have some M8 tracking competitions.

You can even enter some of the compos internationally. https://www.syntaxparty.org/

One such compo is the one track challenge inspired by Ess's wertstoffe track.

Rules are simple, only use 1 track, no samples, no midi, no nxt.

I think my entry came 3rd, Dustsucker won and Laamaa came second if I recall correctly.
Nevertheless I was quite proud of this.

I used a variety of techniques here, starting with fm synthesis of DTMF to make actually DTMF compliant dial tones, a DTMF decoder will understand these and it works via a table in the m8. if you want to dial an 8 and you THO (table hop) to 08 and so on, then a ring tone made in macro synth.

The speech synthesis is done by creating phonemes, it's flipping instruments and using vosim , wavemap and wavetables in wavesynth then arranged and sequenced to create words.

Free Roland D-110 Editor Librarian | Web MIDI Patch Manager

video upload by Ian Dixon

"A hands-on walkthrough of my free Roland D-110 Editor Librarian, a browser-based Web MIDI tool I developed to make the D-110 much easier to manage and edit from a modern computer.
https://thedigitallifestyle.com/w/TDL...

In the video I show how the editor reads the D-110's tones, patches, rhythm setup and system settings, then saves everything into a reusable library. I also go through tone editing, partial mute/solo style workflow, PCM sample selection, synthesis partials, envelopes, filters, patch editing, multi-timbral setups, SysEx import and why the D-110 can be more flexible than a D-50 when you want layered parts and MIDI-channel based arrangements.

The editor runs locally in the browser, uses Web MIDI, and does not send your synth data to the cloud. It is part of my free editor/librarian tools for bringing classic synths back into a modern workflow.

The Absolute Sequencer Powerhouse. Introducing Behringer BCR32

video upload by Behringer

"The Behringer BCR32 is much more than a MIDI controller with 32 rotary encoders. Join Bartek as he runs us through its powerful hands on sequencing features and shows how the built in Zaquencer can create melodies chords basslines and drums with multiple synthesizers. We really like how immediate the BCR32 feels and how easily it can become the brain of a MIDI or modular synthesizer setup. Let us know what you think about the BCR32 and share your ideas feature requests or bugs at ideas.behringer.com. Check out our other Behringer demos and synthesizer videos to see more gear in action."



USB/MIDI Controller/Sequencer with 32 Multi-Purpose Encoders and Polyphonic 32-Step / 4-Track Zaquencer

BCR32 — THE ZAQUENCER SEQUENCER, NOW WITH 32 KNOBS UNDER YOUR FINGERTIPS

Hardware controllers either give you knobs OR a sequencer. The BCR32 gives you both, in one of the most powerful USB/MIDI control surfaces ever built at this price. Thirty-two multi-purpose encoders. Twenty programmable buttons. A 32-step, 4-track sequencer powered by the legendary ZAQ Audio Zaquencer — the firmware that turned the original BCR2000 into a cult favourite among electronic music producers worldwide.

Every panel element is freely assignable, manually or through an intuitive learn mode. Eight of the 32 encoders are dual-mode with push function. Buttons can act as note on/off, control change, program change, MMC commands or system-exclusive triggers — meaning you can map this thing to literally anything your studio throws at it. Trigger audio clips, drive MIDI instruments, ride DAW automation, or build the entire performance from scratch.

The Zaquencer takes things into another dimension. Mono or polyphonic drum and note tracks, 192 stored patterns each made of 4 tracks, plus 2 independent MIDI controls per track for program change, aftertouch, pitch bend and CCs. Four CV/Gate and Sync connectors lock the BCR32 to modular rigs, drum machines and the analog world. Two assignable footswitch inputs free your hands. A multi-function OLED display, high-visibility multi-colour LED feedback and 4 virtual groups keep complex setups crystal-clear. One MIDI input, two MIDI outputs and a merge function let it double as a USB-to-MIDI interface and cascade with other control units. USB powered, Apple iPad compatible (via Camera Adapter, sold separately), class-compliant for plug-and-play operation. Pure performance power.

Grooving with B.A.C.H.

Playing a Fugue with B.A.C.H.

video upload by Kaona Modular Music

"A short musical example with B.A.C.H., a generative Eurorack module.

Here, B.A.C.H. is used to build a polyphonic fugue, with several voices developing and interacting over time.

B.A.C.H. was designed to explore generative composition, counterpoint, repetition and evolution (without trying to replace the musician!)."

B.A.C.H. generates melodic, harmonic and rhythmic structures in real time. At each clock pulse, it determines the activity of the four tracks, along with their pitches, durations and dynamics. The result is shaped by the selected compositional language and the constraints defined by the musician.

The module controls a modular system directly through its Gate, Pitch and Mod outputs. It can also control MIDI synthesizers and sound modules. Each voice has its own configurable MIDI channel.

Twelve compositional languages
FUGUE constructs a multi-voice exposition from a subject, answers, a countersubject and episodes.

CANON develops a leading line through imitation, transposition, delay, contrary motion, retrograde or augmentation.

PROBA uses Markov chains and several transition vocabularies to produce directed randomness.

TINTINNABULI combines a melodic voice with voices whose notes are drawn from a triad or the current chord.

MINIMAL applies gradual processes of phase shifting, addition, substitution and hocketing.

Diatonic Diamond – Generative Harmonic Sequencer

video upload by Mute State

"Find the generative harmonic sequencer here: https://www.mutestate.com/diatonicseq...
The generative harmonic sequencer creates af diatonic field of chords from a scale, moves around between the derived chords (or intervals and triads) after a set number of bars (in this case 4) a portal into another scale and key is created ... by either reinterpreting the active chord, mutating on of the notes by a semitone, or converting it into its negative counterpart using negative harmony. In this demo the sequencer controlled an Elektron digitone, a teensy based bass synth (digitaur) and an Elektron digitakt. The sequencer has seven tracks in total, a bass track, a harmony track and a melody track and finally four drum tracks. Besides midi it also has an internal sound engine."
