Indtroducing AcidBoxMynah

video upload by MoShang

"AcidBoxMynah is an alternative firmware that turns the Mynah into an acid groovebox. Based on the open source AcidBox project for ESP32. It provides an acid combo of tb303 + tb303 + tr808 like synths. Filter cutoff, reso, env mod, accent, wavefolder, overdrive within each 303, per-instrument tunings, hi-pass/lo-pass filter and bitcrusher in drums, send to reverb, delay and master compression

While the original project is headless, the AcidBoxMynah fork provides direct control with the Mynah hardware and adds a number of additional features detailed in the user Manual below. Like the original firmware, the AcidBoxMynah is open source and made available under the MIT license.

First patch ‘flute monster’ - Error Instruments Cloudbusting

video upload by Lo-Fi-Si

"Error Instruments - Cloudbusting
Walrus Audio - Qi Etherealizer

First patch. I love the Error Instruments vibe. Paul Tas is a really interesting creator. But this is the one device I’ve been waiting to get hold of. Mainly for the ‘plum’ CV input mode which creates these wonderful flute like tones. Trying to work out how the different controls interact is quite a task as the functionality changes for each mode. I’m not a great fan of the ‘clips’ for patching as they are really fiddly. The build quality is fantastic though. Very solid and tidy.

Anyways, this is sending the main output to the Plum mode, with use of the drone and FM modes too.

Etherealizer is adding delay, reverb and +octave granular."

Sequential Circuits Six-Trak, Roland JD-Xi & Boss RC-505 song More than six voices 3.8.2026.

video upload by Veli-Matti Rautio

"Took Boss RC-505 looper to expand Six-Trak's six voice polyphony. Also Roland JD-Xi made additional drums, percussios and bass. Six-Trak's sounds were track 1 11: Brass 3, track 2 03: Synth with resonance, track 3 05: Ariel, track 4 07: Plucky 1 and track 5 08: Son of org, lead 30: Donald Duck organ. JD-Xi additional snare drums, cymbals and Analog Tone bass with arp to track 1. RC-505 master clock, five track loops, Simple Beat 2 style also pan, chorus and reverb effects used. Sony FDR-AX43A video camera. Track 1 bass part is familiar to Gary Numan Cars song :) Composed, played, arranged and improvised by me in Studio Tupos 3.8.2026. Nr. 1669.
Otin sitten taas vaihteeksi Boss RC-505 loopperin mukaan musantekoon. Sain sillä laajennettua Six-Trakin kuuden äänen polyfoniaa loopperin viidelle raidalle. Käytin Six-Trakista kuusi soundia. Mukana myös Roland JD-Xi se tarjosi snaret, cymbaalit ja analogisen bassoarpin. RC-505 tallensi viisi raitaa, kellotti kaiken sekä tarjosi pan, chorus ja reverb effut. Kuvaamisessa käytin Sony FDR-AX43A videokameraa. Kappaleen toisessa synabassoraidassa yhtäläisyyksiä Gary Numanin Cars-biisin synabassokuvioon."

via this Reverb listing

"The Memorymoog is a classic for its epically fat sound! Though it's not a Plus, we actually prefer non-plus Memorymoogs around here as they are significantly more reliable. This particular unit is in beautiful cosmetic condition as well.

This Memorymoog was previously serviced by Memorymoog specialist Jareth Lackey at Synthpro, and all of the work has been checked by us to make sure it is up to our standards as well. As a finishing touch, we installed our own Memory Liberator upgrade which allows perpetual storage of patch memory without a battery.

This Memorymoog also comes with a Moog 1122 Dual Footswith Pedal, and original owner's manual.

S/N 2268

We believe in transparency when selling “pro serviced” synths so always include documentation of what services every synth we sell has received. Our approach to servicing vintage instruments entails both making sure every synth is working 100% now, and eliminating common failure points to preempt future issues.

This unit received the following services while it was here with us:

Primarily serviced by Jareth Lackey at Synthpro Restorations, we don't have the original invoice but here is what we can tell was done:

Power supply updated
all electrolytic capacitors replaced
Unreliable chips (analog switching ICs, op amps, resistor arrays) replaced
Controls cleaned
Tuning trimmers replaced
Fully tuned and calibrated
Here at Bell Tone:

Memory Liberator F-RAM memory upgrade installed, battery no longer needed and removed!"

7/31/26 (new config) ElectroComp EML 400/401 + CXM 1978 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"This is the new setup of the ElectroComp EML 400/401, with the 400 above the 401. This was actually a test of some stabilizing zip ties. The oscillators are drifting a bit since moving the 400 and I suspect it’s because the cable was switched to the left connector on the 400. Hopefully that’s just some dust. The reverb is from the Alesis MIDIVERB II and the pitchy grainy delay is blended on the CXM 1978."

Synth Vibes (Prophet 10 + Chase Bliss Big Time + CXM1978)

video upload by andman Theory

"Some moody chords played through the incredible Sequential Prophet 10, Chase Bliss Big Time delay pedal, and Chase Bliss CXM 1978 reverb pedal. Filter cutoff is controlled by a pedal along with the delay feedback and send. Enjoy the chill sounds from the Fuzzy Lounge in Seattle.

Recorded direct through a SSL X-Desk, UAD Apollo X16 Gen 2, and Mixpre3."

Casio SK-8 Sampling Keyboard + Patch Bay + Pitch Mod

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

via this Reverb listing

"Rare 1987 Casio SK-8 8-bit sampling keyboard modified with a unique raised console featuring a 20 point ROM modulation patch bay, four illuminated preset effects switches and an illuminated pitch control. This is an otherworldly instrument which will inspire any alternative electronic musician and sound designer. Reed Ghazala named his modified SK units 'Aleatrons' due to their random, unexpected nature so nothing is obvious here- when the patch matrix is in use, the keyboard itself doesn't always function as you'd expect while the modifications open up a world of experimental audio possibilities, far outreaching Casio's original intentions. The pitch controller is switchable and can drop sampled sounds to crashing, aliasing lows.

Supercritical Redshift 6 | Cinematic performance

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer jam performed with the Redshift 6 at the centre. Percussion added afterward in the box.

Fair warning: both Supercritical and MAS Distribution sent along their respective gear (the Redshift 6, and the Solarfaze/Polyphrase, respectively) for free. Take that as you will. Neither of them explicitly asked me to make a video with the gear, although I'm sure that was the point, right? But in both cases, the gear they sent along was a joy to play, which is why they're here.

I ended up really enjoying the Redshift 6. It's ostensibly analog where it counts—6 DCOs and VCFs—but it's also really clean and precise sounding, giving it a digital sheen. That's somewhat less my thing. However, it has a few things to really give it personality: multi-timbrality, up to a different timbre for each of the six voices; a Character parameter which vastly can change the sound of a voice, its filter and mixing and more; a great built-in effects suite (can only run one at a time); three pairs of stereo outputs to run your timbres separately (as here); easy-to-setup macro knobs for live performing using multiple timbres, all from one page; and a built-in sequencer for getting basic ideas onto the table without outside help. In many respects, it feels like an iteration on some of the ideas from the Elektron Analog Four, another synth I really love, only with enough voices to create a pad, arp, and drone at the same time.

Here, I run one timbre, a constant note, into the Vongon Solarfaze, which adds chorus and then drive/saturation. The second timbre, a single-note sequence, runs to the Vongon Polyphrase, adding delay. Both of these pedals impressed me way more than I had expected; there is something extremely performable about the Polyphrase that makes me want to get it on the table again straight away. And then for the third timbre, the pad, I run it direct out from the Redshift 6, using the synth's built-in reverb. I'm pretty picky on reverb these days and I think it sounds awesome.

With the macro knob opening all filters at once (to varying degrees), this live performance got huge. I had originally intended it to be only the synth, but once I heard the final performance, and how much it reminded me of a soundtrack cue, I knew I had to add orchestral percussion. I built the percussion out of modified samples from the Reason Studios loop library.

Altogether, it created an extremely cinematic performance and I'm very happy with the musical results. I was having such a good time with it that I'm excited to get back to the studio today and explore a little more. Thanks for listening.
