ELZ_1 play V2 x Kuro Kasetto — Eurorack Session

video upload by SONICWARE

"ELZ_1 play V2: https://sonicware.jp/pages/elz_1-play
Only a Dozen V2 Launch Edition Units with Special Case Coming in Early December — Secure Yours Now!

For this piece, I used the preset 'Resophonic Gt', a plucked-style sound with a short envelope that gives it a string-like, percussive character, perfect for melodies and short phrases.
I worked with the Wavetable engine, switching between several waves: '2 Echos' (my favorite), 'Clavinet', 'AnotherWT', 'Electric Piano', and 'FM+Crush'.
For effects, I alternated between 'Grain Particle' and 'Grain Uncertain' to add that beautiful granular texture, and used a 'Plate reverb' as the master effect.

To integrate the ELZ_1 play with my Eurorack setup, I used the Collide 4 module by Joranalogue and Hainbach to match the signal levels to Eurorack standards and to take advantage of its filter and amplifier.
I began by recording some 2 Echos notes into the Morphagene by Make Noise, then pitched them down and layered another take on top, letting the module work its magic to further enhance the sound.
I also added a few notes from different sequencers and oscillators, blending them into the mix, which was processed through the Typhoon module for additional movement and texture.

Next, I recorded several loops: Clavinet on channel 1, Electric Piano on channel 2, and FM+Crush on channel 3. Each loop has a different length, and I played them in offset so they evolve in an asynchronous, shifting way.
While performing, I also reversed playback back and forth, creating variation in both notes and texture so the piece never repeats in the same way.

For the live part, I used AnotherWT and 2 Echos, experimenting with effects and octaves. These layers were recorded into channel 4 of the looper in real time, following the same offset looping approach as earlier in the piece.
During recording, I used the Collide 4 to shape and amplify the ELZ_1 play’s signal, adding even more character to the sound, and the Typhoon module to blend everything together in a beautiful, immersive space.

It’s a piece that invites exploration, one could easily spend hours lost in the endless sonic possibilities of the ELZ_1 play and modular synthesis.

ELZ_1 play V2 + CyDrums | Stegonaute Live Composition

video upload by SONICWARE and Stegonaute

"Live Composition in the Studio with the Sonicware ELZ_1 play V2 and CyDrums.

In this video, I’m in the studio composing and performing a new track using the Sonicware ELZ_1 play V2 alongside the CyDrums drum machine.
I chose not to synchronize the two machines via MIDI to keep a sense of freedom, tension, and natural drift in the performance, letting the track breathe and evolve on its own.

On the ELZ_1 play V2, I’m working with one of my favorite engines: 8BIT WAVEMEM SYNTH, the 8bit Wave memory. I love how this engine can shape the track through its evolving waveforms, shifting character depending on timing and modulation. I'm using the internal effect session with a ping pong stereo delay and a shimmer reverb. The arpeggiator is running in random mode, loosely aligned with the tempo of the CyDrums. I love to mute and unmute elements on the dum machine to let the track evolve.

Sonicware ELZ_1 Play | Ambient explorations

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Two ambient pieces composed and performed live on the ELZ_1 Play, with effects.

00:00 - Song 1
04:22 - Song 2

Sonicware sent the ELZ_1 Play over for me to explore because of its big new firmware update. To be honest, there is an overwhelming number of synth engines and effects within the ELZ_1 Play and I only briefly explored the options with any systematicity. Most of the time, I found the synth was a nice device to tweak presets or dial in a sound quickly based on a particular engine type.

A few of the synth engines are quite beautiful and unique, including some tuned noise that it is really pretty. For these explorations, I was mainly drawn to sounds I can't normally make on my other synths, like electric pianos or organs. The options to make and tweak whatever you want are there, but they require you navigating the menus to find them. That aspect works perfect well, but mostly I found the ELZ_1 Play was a great couch device where I noodle.

The biggest and best surprise was definitely the looper, which allows you to have four separate, synchonized or asynchronous loops just spinning away. The looper is an easy way to quickly find inspiration and compose something new.

For these live performances, I've also paired the ELZ_1 Play with a few effects to extend or build the ambient sketch into something a little more complete. The Walrus Qi adds some granular, delay, chorus, and reverb to the finale of the first piece, and the Meris Polymoon adds its phased delay-verb to the second. I also thought I'd try the Soma Cosmos as a different take on the looping idea for the second track.

Overall, I found the ELZ_1 Play to be a good companion for those tired days where all the music-making energy I had was on the couch. Having so many engine types meant I could explore new sounds, and having the asynchronous looper meant I was often quickly in the territory of a full piece.

Thanks for listening.

Looking Outside: Synthesizer and Eurorack Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"Three tracks created by using standalone synthesizers and eurorack modules. Sequenced from the Squarp Hermod+, I thought about recording everything simultaneously, but I decided to record it in groups to allow for more hands on manipulation of the equipment.

For drums, samples were loaded into the 1010music 'Bitbox Micro' with the following modules also used for processing the summed samples: Make Noise 'QPAS', Xaoc 'Koszalin', Qu Bit 'Mojave' and 'Nautilus', Erica Synths 'Blackhole DSP 2', Qu Bit 'Data Bender' (triggered/modulated using the Make Noise '0-CTRL'), and Noise Engineering 'Librae Legio'.

For synthesizers, the following hardware was used: Sonicware 'Evoke', Korg 'Arp 2600m' and 'Minilogue XD', Sequential 'OB-6 Desktop', Novation 'Peak' and 'Circuit Mono Station'.

Minimal house session with CyDrums, Moog One & Nord Lead : Put up 2025-10-13 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SONICWARE‬ CyDrums, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, and ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead — a hand-played minimal house track built around an even kick groove.

CyDrums provides the even kick, short-decay hi-hats, and toms. The sound is processed with filter and reverb using the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, and compression is added via the ALESIS 3630.

The Moog One performs the bassline, while the Nord Lead handles the harmony. The Nord Lead runs through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for reverb."

"A piece created with SONICWARE LIVEN Ambient Ø and YAMAHA CS01. Quiet ambient electronica.

On the Ambient Ø, sequences are played while synth pads are performed with the built-in keyboard. The output is processed through the MOOD MKII with added delay and micro-loop effects.

The CS01 plays a sound with slow attack and release, processed through NIGHTSKY with long-decay reverb and filtering. At times, INFINITE is switched on to create sustained tones."

"This is a tutorial on how to get a variety of different sounds out of a steel tongue drum and handpan, without and added external effects from guitar pedals or a computer.

I compare sound design techniques on a Kosmosky 12 inch double sided drum to the Sonicware Liven Ambient 0 Synthesizer to demo how to replicate electronic effects acoustically to add different sound quality to your music.

Some of the techniques used here apply to other instruments like guitar, pianos and other percussion instruments, but some are unique to the steel tongue drum due it's unique form, timbre, and long sustain.

Stylophone Gen X-2 & Lofi-12 XT Acid Jam - Men Only Want One Thing And It's Disgusting Acid

Time for some more weekend acid it seems!

The good people over at Stylophone sent me the Gen X-2 so I can make some promotional work for them, but of course it needs a good test 😁so time for some acid😈

This jam uses the Korg SQ-1 as a sequencer to control it because the new Gen X-2 model has gate and CV inputs meaning I can create a sequence and get it to sync up with other gear where as the Gen X-1 was played by the stylus only. I'm also running the Gen X-2 through an unbranded Vintage Overdrive that my wife found as a freebie on Temu of all things. To my surprise it's actually pretty good and pairs nicely with the Gen X-2. I did have to use an inline isolator between the Gen X-2 and pedal though as it was generating a lot of digital noise otherwise.

The Lofi-12 XT is being used to add delay and reverb to the Gen X-2 and I'm using the new v1.5 feature of being able to sidechain external sources again because it's super useful for letting the kick cut through on things like this."
