Gentle Synth Layers and Delayed Piano | Weaver’s Shadow 2026-01-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88, and CBX-K1XG.
It is a composition where gentle synthesizer tones are layered with delay-soaked piano sounds.

On the Prophet-10, slow-attack synth pads are performed and processed with reverb and filtering using the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

The CP-88 is used to play piano with its built-in delay and reverb.

On the CBX-K1XG, string sounds are performed and processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, adding reverb and delay.

The Moog One plays soft, low-attack synth pads with a generous amount of reverb applied via its master effects.

The Nord Lead provides additional synth pad layers, processed with reverb using the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

As the layered synthesizer sounds gradually overlap and fade away, the piano weaves through the space, filling the gaps between them."

Where Digital Meets Vintage Soul

video upload by Jose's Vintage Keys

"This demo explores the overlap between modern digital synthesis and classic instruments. The ‪@GrooveSynthesis‬ 3rd Wave 8M sits at the center, supported by the warmth of the OB-X and the expressive touch of the CP70 electric grand piano. Using presets by ‪@devinbelangermusic‬ and ‪@MattJohnsonskeyspace‬

I am not yet good enough to program it myself - their sounds are a wonderful start to get to know the instrument and its vast sonic possibilities. #3rdwave"

Introducing ADDAC System Servo Controller

video upload by ADDAC System

"At ADDAC we always admired the geniality of Neil Young’s Whizzer, way ahead of its time, a great example of how great ingenuity and engineering can come together to make something great.

Inspired by its motor controlled method we created a standalone solution featuring 8 Servo outputs to control any knob on any amplifier, guitar pedal, rack gear, etc. Bottom line any hardware that has a knob that needs to be controlled/sequenced/automated externally.

The idea behind it was to create a device that would open the possibility to control any knob, any physical knob, be it from a musical device or any other tech appliance that “needs” to be controlled, for musical, artistic or automation purposes.

Our solution comes with a Servo Connector that screws into any compatible physical potentiometer, a coupler connects the motor shaft to the target knob which will turn as the Servo turns.
We use servo motors which can be digitally controlled and move to a precise angle. The motors are controlled by a microcontroller that receives MIDI signals or the internal Expression Pedals and converts these signals to the 270 degree Servo motor range.
Each expression pedal input features 2 knobs: MINimum and MAXimum. These are used to set the range of action of the expression pedal, allowing to dial the range to any sweet spot desired. Raising the MINimum knob above the MAXimum knob inverts the Servo range.

It features MIDI over USB-C, Bluetooth MIDI, and a 3.5mm MIDI IN jack. MIDI can come from any of the 3 sources at the same time as long as they don’t overlap the servos channels being controlled."

Gyroresonant Scattering - Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave - Self Playing Patch w/ Artmatic Designer

video upload by Tumeni Knobs

"This is a "self playing" or "generative" patch programmed on the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave. There is no sequencer or arpeggiator or midi used, just a lot of patch programming of the synth. This recording is actually two tracks layered together, each one slightly different. One is a fully hands-off version of the patch, and the other is performance recording where I was turning knobs as it played (mostly saturation, cutoff and resonance). This recording of the patch is in Bm, and each track uses different notes in the scale, with some overlap.

The dynamic range this patch produced was amazing, and in the end it required some heavy EQing to cut the lows out so as not to blow speakers when played at volume. Low cut and high cut filters were applied as well as a standard master bus compressor. It still gets pretty glitchy and grungy at times, but it doesn't clip.

There is a little bit of the 3rd Wave's delay effect that goes in and out, but much of what may sound like a delay effect isn't - it's just the way the patch plays. Valhalla Supermassive, applied in the DAW, totally sends this patch into space. Each track has a different reverb applied.

The animation was created in Artmatic Designer in my usual style, but this time, because I used two audio tracks, I used two video tracks layered as well. The base layer is the "as rendered" version right out of Designer, and the second layer is a copy processed in DaVinci Resolve with the Edge Detect effect. That processed layer is manually programmed to fade in an out on top of the base layer which dramatically changes the visuals.

I have a bunch of works like this, but this one seems next level to me. I've watched it a bunch of times now and always with eyes wide open, ears tingling and mouth agape. Hopefully someone else enjoys it as much as I do. ;-)

Cheers!

P.S. Gyroresonant scattering is a process where charged particles, like electrons, interact with electromagnetic waves in a magnetic field, causing changes in their energy and motion. This interaction can occur in environments such as planetary magnetospheres, affecting the behavior of particles within those regions."

PlantsSystem-Prophet-5&PolySeq

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem performed live in the intimate space of a single room using the Prophet-5 and Poly-Seq.

Performer and audience shared the same space, and in a seamless environment, the Prophet-5's rich analog tone and the Poly-Seq's quietly pulsating sequences resonated with each other.

The act of performing itself blended into the living space, resulting in an intimate and immersive performance where the listener could experience the sound-creation process in its entirety.

PlantsSystem-Duos&PolySeq ChaosSync

video upload by plantssystem



"PlantsSystem performed using Hikari Instruments' Duos and Sequential's Poly-Sequencer, linked via ChaosSync.

The multiple sequencers interact and influence each other, generating music through a struggle between regularity and chance. The delicate yet sharp modulations of the Duos and the phrase changes made by the Poly-Sequencer overlap, keeping the development constantly fluid.

This experimental live performance, unique to PlantsSystem, showcases the process in which intention and chance emerge simultaneously."

Layered Delays and Shimmering Synths | Loose Connection 2025-12-06 by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88.
Layers of delayed and reverberated tones overlap and gradually fade, forming a drifting ambient soundscape.

The Prophet-10 is processed with a deep reverb using the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

The CP-88 is recorded in two separate paths: the dry signal and another processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, adding tape-style coloration.

The Nord Lead is processed with delay using the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

On the Moog One, a flute-like tone is performed with a shimmer reverb applied via the master effects, enhancing its airy, ethereal quality."

Dieter Doepfer explains the 3D Joystick

"Dieter Doepfer explains the 3D Joystick"

The A-174-4 made its first appearance on the site back in 2020. The following are some pics and details via https://doepfer.de/a1744.htm.



"Module A-174-4 generates several control voltages and a gate signal controlled by a spring-loaded X/Y cross potentiometer (so-called joy stick). The control voltages for X and Y are controlled by the X and Y position of the joystick in the usual way. The third control voltage Z is controlled by the rotation of the spring-loaded joystick knob. The gate signal is generated by a button at the center/top of the joystick knob. As an additional feature four control voltages are generated that are assigned to the quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate system. These quadrant voltages are derived from the X and Y voltages by means of a special algorithm.

For each joystick function the non-inverted signal (X, Y, Z) as well as the inverted signal (-X, -Y, -Z) is available. The generic joystick control voltages are bipolar and range from typ. -5V (lowest position) via 0V (center position) to typ. +5V (highest position). By means of the Offset controls OX, OY and OZ a variable voltage of up to 5V can be added to the generic voltages. That way it's possible that the X, Y and Z outputs become pure positive (0...+10V instead of -5V...+5V). That's necessary if e.g. VCAs have to be controlled, because VCAs require a pure positive control voltage. The offset voltages can be adjusted by means of three small potentiometers. When the control in question is fully CCW no offset is added and the "pure" control voltages X, -X, Y, -Y, Z and -Z without offset are generated. As soon as the offset control in question is moved clockwise up to +5V are added to the voltage in question. The offset voltages are also added to the inverting outputs. With max. offset the range of an inverted output becomes also pure positive (+10V...0V instead of +5V...-5V). These six voltages are output at the sockets "X+OX", "-X+OX", "Y+OY", "-Y+OY", "Z+OZ" and "-Z+OZ". Each of these outputs is equipped with a dual color LED (red/yellow) that displays the present voltage and allows to distinguish between positive (red) and negative (yellow) voltages.

PlantsSystem-Pulsar

video upload by plantssystem

"'Pulsar' is a non-beat electronica piece.
Eliminating the framework of rhythm, it is constructed around the breathing and spatial movement of the sound itself. Subtle glitches, fluctuations created by granular synthesis, and delicate reverberation processing overlap to form a static yet internally pulsating acoustic body.

Permeating the entire work are flashes of sound that, despite having no set tempo, somehow feel periodic. These repetitions and intervals reconstruct 'time' in the listener's mind.

Acoustically, the center of gravity of the low frequencies is intentionally blurred, creating a floating spatial depth. High-frequency particles spread like countless points of light, enveloping the entire piece with gently shifting noise textures.
The result is an experience in which one is drawn in not by rhythm but by the 'gravity of sound.'

"Pulsar" is an attempt to rethink the structure of electronic music,
and also an acoustic experiment to visualize the quiet vibrations that lie between hearing and our sense of time. #pulsar #prophet5 #tardigrain"

Minimal Electronic w/ CS01, OP-1 field, volca fm2 : Neutrality 2025-09-29 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with YAMAHA CS01, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@KORG_INC‬ volca fm2. Minimal electronica where lo-fi processed FM synth tones overlap with evolving sequences.

The CS01 is processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY with reverb and EQ, shaping it into a lo-fi sound. The patch is set with long attack and release times.

On the OP-1 field, sequences are played using the ENDLESS sequencer, with pattern changes made mid-performance. The sound is based on the DIMENSION preset CELESTA, modified for this piece.

The volca fm2 produces synth pad tones with extended attack and release, processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MKII to create a lo-fi texture."

Behringer Murf Box on synth (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Behringer's BM-15M Murf Box - now renamed as the BM-15M Resonant Filter - is a clone of the Moog Moogerfooger MF-105 MuRF. I bought this pedal thinking it might be a more interesting replacement for my Boss SL-2 Slicer. Why did I want to replace the Slicer? Because the Slicer has a few things that slightly irritate me. In hindsight, a pitiful motivation since the Murf Box has an equal number of small irritating things.

First, if you bypass the effect you only get sound out of one channel. That's irritating. It's huge, the knobs are hard to read, I don't love the EQ, the way the envelope works is odd, there's no compression on the drive, and you can't adjust the LFO without an expression pedal. Not that I entirely blame Behringer, I also blame Moog since these are all present on the OG Murf. But of course all the actual blame rests with me for not being satisfied with the Boss Slicer.

Not that the Murf sounds bad. It's a rather interesting, gritty, unusual and reasonably versatile machine. I think rather my expectations were pumped up to the same artificial heights as the OG Moogerfooger reputation and prices.

Here the Murf is receiving a MIDI clock and the expression pedal is connected to the LFO rate. The volume varies a lot depending on the EQ, mix and drive settings - and seems to fade away a bit toward the end of the video - but I thought it best to keep these as-is to show real usage.

Originally I was going to do a comparison between the Murf Box and the Boss Slicer with lots of talk. But knowing that hearing me talk too much annoys some people, and that merely showing a Behringer product will guarantee a percentage of automatic dislikes, I thought it wiser to start with a plain audio demo. I'll do a comparison with the Slicer very soon (unless everyone hates this video) since I think there's a lot of overlap and interesting design contrasts between the pedals.

"A collection of the absolute best Roland Super Jupiter MKS-80 AND Sequential Six-Trak samples and patches inside your Prophet X.

A fat powerful VCO collection ready for your P X.

I've layered and multi-recorded 32 sounds from a Super Jupiter MKS-80 (Rev.5) and 18 of my best custom sounds from the Six-Trak.

All put into 50 epic multi-samples/instruments for your P X.

These are not sample-stretched sounds nor is there any overlap from the Epic Vol.1. These are all new samples. Total filesize is about 1.32Gb.

The price for this pack is $30USD (or €30Euros if you're in Europe) and considering you'll get the absolute best patches and samples ever made for these synths, directly onto your Prophet X, I think the price is fair. I've spent a lot of time making these sound absolutely stellar.

My CONTACT email address is this: espenkraft69@gmail.com If you want to purchase this pack please send me an email and I'll give you instructions on how to order. If you want a bundled (discount) price for multiple packs just let me know. I will only sell Prophet X packs directly through email.

Full installation notes included in the download.

All the multi-samples are also available as *sf2 (TAL sampler and Logic compatible) if you're interested. Price is the same.

I've included some patches to help you get going and you have two options of transfer: Bank U3 P41 – P59 or Bank A4 P41 - P59.

If you want to transfer the patches SOMEWHERE ELSE on your own PX, you can do so manually, by editing the individual sysex files."

Knobula - Monumatic. Epic Modular Eurorack Poly Synth!

video upload by The Unperson

"In today's video I am exploring a new module from Knobula called Monumatic. Monumatic is the successor the Poly Cinematic which was one of the first modules to bring polyphony to eurorack. Monumatic is a significant upgrade in pretty much every way. There are more waveforms, more filters, more effects, and most importantly more modulation! Another of my favourite features is that notes will overlap even using using gate and CV to control the module. This means you're not dependant on MIDI to access polyphony. If you'd like more info on this fully polyphonic synthesizer then head on over to:

POLYGENE II - First Look

video upload by LA Priest

"Sound recorded directly from the back of the synth (No added effects / eq / reverb etc)."


"POLYGENE II is an all analog polyphonic synthesizer with two halves. One half is all-transistor class A from signal source through audio path two output, the other half is identical except it uses analog chips to generate dynamic customisable waveforms.

Inspired by the earliest polysynths of the 1970s, it is fully polyphonic (all 24 notes can be played at the same time), can be tuned to any scale or tuning, is multi-timbral and completely touch sensitive.

Touching any part of the synthesizer bridges connections in the circuitry and creates a unique sound.

Mood Machine | Sonicware Liven Evoke | New Set of 14 Songs

video upload by Sonic Cartography

"Track list and lots of notes below:

0:00 - 1. Dream Machine - With the Sonicware Liven Evoke, I’ve often been playing songs live, without using the sequencer, which I used for almost all of my songs with the Liven Ambient Ø (the two sequencers are very similar). With this song, I use the hold feature to hold some notes of textural sound in a couple of layers, while playing the piano layer live. The piano sound morphs between an acoustic and electronic sound a little bit after I play each note. Around the halfway point, with the chromatic pitch shifting, everything starts to turn into a granular storm (there are no granular effects prior to this), which is helped by the fact that you can cut the dry signal of each track and have a 100% wet mix of the reverb and/or granular sound. Oh, also, I want to give a thank you/shoutout to this video by @BenLevin because I started messing around with the chords that led to this song after watching it: • The secret to EMOTIONAL chords . His channel is one of my favorite music education channels on YouTube, so do check it out!

Googlish translation below.

"これは2024年6月に行ったHYP3 Core Engine (仮称) というアナログモデリング音源とRoland TB-303との比較テストの記録です。 HYP3 Core Engine (仮称) はSYNTHERNETで開発中のハードウェアシンセサイザー、HYP3やG3N3などで使用するモデリング音源です。 動画で使用しているMICRO HYP3は、実験用のハードウェアです。オーバークロックされたSTM32F411 (Cortex-M4, 120MHz) で動作しています。

左上の表示はas_SonoGx2というスペクトログラフを使用しています。 横軸が時間で縦軸が周波数です。レゾナントピークが輝線として見えるため、カットオフ周波数のエンベロープ形状を観察することができます。オレンジ (HYP3) とブルー (TB-303) が重なると白く表示されます。

テスト1ではテンポ上昇とアクセントの連続に追従してエンベロープが上昇していく状態を比較しています。オシレーターがフリーランニングなので位相差のずれは起こりますが、エンベロープ自体はほとんど一致しています。

テスト2ではパラメータを変化させた時の変化を比較しています。HYP3 Core Engineはポテンショメータのカーブやパラメータ範囲までTB-303に一致させています。これは個体に合わせて調整することも可能です。

テスト3では同じ外部のディストーションをかけた時の比較です。歪ませたとしても、かなり近いフィーリングを得ることができます。"

Googlish:

This is a record of a comparison test conducted in June 2024 between the analog modeling sound source called HYP3 Core Engine (tentative name) and the Roland TB-303.

The HYP3 Core Engine (tentative name) is a modeling sound source used in hardware synthesizers under development at SYNTHERNET, such as HYP3 and G3N3.

The MICRO HYP3 used in the video is experimental hardware. It runs on an overclocked STM32F411 (Cortex-M4, 120MHz).

The display in the upper left uses a spectrograph called as_SonoGx2.

The horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is frequency. The resonant peak appears as a bright line, so you can observe the envelope shape of the cutoff frequency. Orange (HYP3) and Blue (TB-303) When they overlap, they are displayed in white.

In test 1, we compare the state in which the envelope rises in response to an increase in tempo and a series of accents. Since the oscillator is free running, there is a phase difference, but the envelope itself is almost identical.

In test 2, we compare the changes when parameters are changed. The HYP3 Core Engine matches the potentiometer curve and parameter range to the TB-303. This can also be adjusted to suit the individual unit.

In test 3, we compare the results when the same external distortion is applied. Even with distortion, you can get a very similar feeling.

Banyan: generative ambient through switching loops

video upload by Electrum Modular

"With Disting EX’s multiswitch algo (6 switches, each with 6 inputs and 4 outputs), you can generate long, melodic sequences with just three voltages. By placing the switches in parallel, so their inputs and outputs overlap, and by adding a few feedback loops, the sequence can get quite complex and unpredictable."
