Roland MC-202 in a Plugin? | Audio Damage AD-202 Demo

video upload by Autodafe

"The Audio Damage AD-202 is a modern software take on the classic Roland MC-202 MicroComposer, the compact analog monosynth and sequencer released by Roland in 1983. With its single VCO, sub oscillator, resonant 24 dB low-pass filter and simple modulation architecture, the original MC-202 shared much of its sonic DNA with instruments like the SH-101 and TB-303.

I actually owned an original Roland MC-202 many years ago — and, like quite a few pieces of vintage gear I used to have, I eventually sold it. So I was particularly curious to hear Audio Damage's take on it.

AD-202 keeps the straightforward single-oscillator architecture and vintage workflow, while expanding it with modern features including 8-voice polyphony, analog-style drift, MPE, tempo-synced modulation, saturation, drive and distortion.

In this no-talking demo, I'll simply go through some sounds and presets so you can hear what AD-202 can do.

Redshift 6 is a true sonic powerhouse. With 16 analog oscillators per voice and a 4-pole analog multimode filter featuring drive and character controls, it effortlessly delivers everything from super saw stabs to lush pads and from unison basses to vintage poly synth sounds. The Redshift 6’s 4 envelopes and 4 LFOs, combined with complex yet easy-to-assign modulation possibilities and the 32-slot mod matrix, offer endless possibilities for sound design.

Each of the Redshift 6’s six voices features a Demon Core Oscillator, capable of generating up to 16 simultaneous analog oscillators per voice. These oscillators can be assigned in various ways, from lush polyphonic textures to a massive 96-oscillator unison.

To take full advantage of the 96 oscillators almost endless sonic possibilities, the Demon Core Oscillator has various Engines, giving users a range of powerful options to choose from. Whether it’s traditional twin oscillators, supersaw engines, flanging phase sync, or transistor organ modes, each Engine is designed to be intuitive, highly controllable, and fully modulatable.

The filter core is an analog 4-pole state variable filter that is digitally controlled to act like almost any classic vintage synthesizer filter and more. In addition to the oscillators and filters, Redshift 6 has all the features expected of a modern synth – plenty of modulators, flexible voice routing, multitimbrality, MPE, and DSP effects."

Soft Cell - Tainted Love | 80s Synthpop Cover | Maxi-Korg 800DV, PPG Wave & Emulator II

video upload by RetroSound

"My cover of the iconic 1981 Soft Cell synthpop classic “Tainted Love”, recreated with authentic vintage synthesizers and samplers from the 80s electronic music era.

For this version, I used:

🎹 Maxi-Korg 800DV – analog bass and fx synthesizer sounds
🎹 PPG Wave 2.2 – main theme and pads
🎹 E-MU Emulator II – CR-78 drum and additional sampling sounds

The goal was to capture the atmosphere, character and raw electronic aesthetic of classic 1980s synthpop, while giving the song my own production and sound approach.

' Tainted Love ' became one of Soft Cell’s defining songs after its release in 1981. The duo Marc Almond and Dave Ball transformed the earlier soul song into a minimalist, dark and highly influential synthpop classic. The song was originally written by Ed Cobb and first recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964.

Soft Cell’s version became a major international hit and helped define the sound of early-1980s electronic pop, with synthesizers, electronic rhythms and a distinctive minimalist arrangement.

For me, recreating this track with vintage hardware is also a journey back to the analog and early digital sound of the 1980s — before modern software instruments became the standard. Dave Ball wrote me he used the Korg Bass and the Synclavier in the original song."

Unusable Engineering Slot Sequencers | How They Work

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A walkthrough of the shared slot sequencer system added to all Unusable Engineering effects in version 1.3.0.

Depending on the plugin, the sequencer has four or eight slots. Each slot stores a different set of effect parameters, and the plugin can step or slew between those settings manually, using an internal clock, or in sync with the host.

This video covers:
editing and selecting slots
manual movement between settings
internal and host-clock stepping
Slew in free and clocked modes
copying and pasting slots
randomization
enabling and disabling slots
differences between individual plugins
and a bit of the philosophy behind it"

"Curves & Membranes has also gained a new oscillator mode called Node Mode.

The normal oscillator uses Bézier handles to shape its single-cycle waveform. In Node Mode those handles are replaced by vector points, which changes how the synth sounds and allows much deeper wave folding.

It gives the synth a noticeably more modern and aggressive side while still using the same one-oscillator architecture. Curves & Membranes also got a new Vel->Radius option, where incoming velocity can multiply the radius of its orbital modulators by up to 5x. That makes harder notes introduce more movement rather than just changing level or filter response.

There is also now a preset browser across the full lineup, along with some starting-point presets, version checking and a few smaller workflow and stability improvements.

The updates are free for existing owners and available through the account page: https://www.unusable.net/account/

The two freebies (Binaural Modulator and Cavitation Fractures) have also gotten updated with slot-sequencer, preset-system and some bug fixes.

External MIDI Amiga Synth? Wait, what?!

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"A few years ago I restored my childhood Amiga 500, and only recently found a way to use a soft synth, Aegis Sonix V2, with external MIDI control. I saw ‪@magicalsynthadventure3216‬ video on the topic a while back, and on a whim decided to revisit the idea of using my Amiga as a synth. Thanks to an Amibay.com forum thread, I learned that it's pretty easy to get Aegis Sonix V2 to respond to incoming MIDI, and so I was off to the races. Enjoy!

Update: An interesting side note is that Sonix was released in 1987 with a beta in 1986. That's 10 years earlier than Dave Smith's Seer Systems Reality, which was released in 1997. Seer Systems Reality is often credited as the world's first soft synth. Curious if the distinction was between an editor/interface for the existing Amiga sound chip vs. a self contained software synthesizer.

"(Please note: This demo was shot a while ago, and several updates have improved the DR-2 even further.) Built into a solid metal chassis, the MODOR DR-2 is a drum machine unlike many others. It sounds refreshingly different from the dozens of X0X clones out there, yet it's still powerful enough to shake club walls.

With its old-school display, spacious interface, and faders, it definitely delivers the kind of '90s nostalgia that I really enjoy. Its different drum machine models offer a vast spectrum of possible sounds, and the MODOR is clearly on the digital side of the sonic spectrum.

It's a lot of fun to perform with (although I occasionally exaggerated the volume a bit while recording this demo). Take your time, learn the machine inside and out, and I'm sure you'll get even better results. I especially like the faders, and programming is quite straightforward. It's a little different from the step sequencers many users are familiar with, but it has its own logical workflow once you get the hang of it.

As a small company from Belgium, Modor Music has certainly found its niche as a boutique manufacturer with its own unique approach to synthesizer design. I congratulate them on creating this fantastic drum machine and welcome its refreshing take on what a modern drum machine can be.#drummachines #synth #synthesizer #technoproducer"

Kepra - Circuit-Modeled Rhythm (demo)

video upload by Hügelton Instruments

"Kepra is a rhythm instrument developed through detailed analysis of an original Japanese vintage programmable rhythm machine.

Rather than relying on sampled sounds, Kepra recreates each instrument by studying the original analog circuits, measuring waveforms, analyzing spectral content, and reproducing their behavior in software.

Features

• Circuit-inspired drum synthesis
• 12 drum voices
• 16-step sequencer
• NOTE / FLAM / ACC layers
• 8 pattern banks
• Stereo mixer
• Drive and character section
• Internal, host, and external MIDI clock

Available for macOS (AUv2 / VST3) and Windows (VST3).

https://hugelton.itch.io/kepra"


"Hardware Archaeology

Developing Kepra felt less like sampling a drum machine and more like studying an archaeological artifact.

Every instrument was investigated through circuit analysis, waveform measurements, timing analysis, and spectral comparison to better understand how the original hardware produced its sound.

Rather than reproducing recordings, Kepra attempts to reconstruct the behavior behind them.

The Missing Instrument

One voice in Kepra did not exist on the original hardware.

The Shaker was designed as an 'imaginary expansion'—a voice inspired by the architecture and character of the original instrument.

Instead of adding a modern sample-based shaker, it was developed by asking a simple question:

'If the original designers had decided to include a shaker, how might they have built it using the same technology?'

The result is not a historical reproduction, but a speculative reconstruction that aims to remain faithful to the design philosophy of the original machine.

Not an Emulator

Kepra is not intended to be a museum piece.

It is a modern rhythm instrument built from careful hardware analysis, extending the ideas of a classic Japanese drum machine into new creative territory."

Turismo - Electro

video upload by ALM TV

"「 Turismo Electro 」🐠 Jamming a full electro track using the Turismo, with beats, bass, a lead voice, chords, sequencing, modulation and FX all produced from directly within the system. 🌊

Starting with a beat from the Squid, the TAZM-O is mixed in followed with dynamic through-zero FM from a self oscillating filter of the MCFx2. Additional drum sounds are brought in via the mutes of the ASQ-1. A bass sequence is then added, also produced by the TAZM-O using one of its 2 sub oscillator outs filtered and triggered to alternate with the lead voice. The result is effectively 2 voices using only 1 oscillator. Finally, a vocal like chord sequence from the CIZZLE is mixed in, with both its pitch and inversion sequenced to create ‘arpeggiator’ style stepping from both oscillators. The reverb time of the MFX is increased as the elements are mixed out to conclude the track.

The Turismo is our fully modern Eurorack modular workstation, blending a curated mix of our flagship analog and digital modules for a versatile and creative patching experience. It offers a distinctive ALM character, designed for both precision and fun. 🚘"

Why Everyone Wanted an E-mu Emulator (The Story Behind the Icon)

video upload by Ian Dixon

"The E-mu Emulator is one of the most influential musical instruments ever made. From Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode to Genesis, Rush and countless film composers, the Emulator helped define the sound of the 1980s. In this episode of TDL Synthchat, I'm joined by Peter James Steven from the Pro Synth Network to explore the complete history of the Emulator family, from the original Emulator I through the legendary Emulator II, Emulator III, Emax, Proteus and beyond.

Peter owns several original Emulators and even helped develop the Emulator 5 "Vampire Rack", giving him a unique insight into the evolution of E-mu's groundbreaking samplers. We discuss the iconic string sounds, why the Emulator still has such a devoted following, how it compares with the Fairlight, and why many musicians still believe nothing quite captures the original hardware.

Native Instruments and A. G. Cook turn his signature supersaw into a custom instrument you can play

The PC Music founder and 2025 BRIT Producer of the Year brings the stacked saw sound known for Charli xcx, and Caroline Polachek to a single synthesizer — built from his own patches

Berlin, July 16, 2026: Native Instruments has today launched SuperStarSaw, a synthesizer co-created with GRAMMY-winning A. G. Cook, British producer, PC Music founder, and one of the key architects of contemporary pop's defining sonic palette.

Supersaws, multiple sawtooth waves layered and slightly detuned against each other, are responsible for some of modern pop's most immediately recognisable textures: the wide, lush, harmonically dense quality running through Cook's work with Charli xcx, Beyoncé, Caroline Polachek, and Oklou. Building them has always meant painstaking multi-instance layering, a process Cook had refined over years of his own production work, and which became the starting point for what followed. The instrument grew out of a two-year collaboration with Native Instruments' design team, who worked directly from Cook's patches and production sessions to turn one of modern pop's most coveted sounds into something you can actually play.
