Valley Of The Shadows/Origin Unknown (Circuit Tracks Version)
video upload by Guinan
"'We need Jungle I'm afraid'.....this weeks track is the highly influential jungle track 'Valley Of The Shadows' by Origin Unknown released first in 1993."
"Funnily enough I had this CD for years and didn't have a sampler! (I couldn't lay my hands on it for the video but had a copy in my 'archive'). It was a lot of fun to assemble this very simple track from the ingredients and only a small amount of artistic licence was required to fit it into the Tracks.
As you can hear there are no drum machine samples in this...the 'Drum' section is used entirely to play back samples and loops. The samples were edited and time stretched to work in the track at 160Bpm. The arpeggiated section was prepared as 3 samples (2 of which had the extra pitch shifted repeat of the arpeggio).
Synth 1 - single oscillator sine wave with a touch of distortion to fatten it up
Synth 2 - detuned sine waves on 2 oscillators with heavy phaser effects applied.
Drum 2 - '31 seconds' NASA sample from FM Disk 1, 'Long Dark Tunnel' sample from Youtube.
Drum 3 - 'Think' loop from FM CD, with occasional 2nd variation and chopped 2nd half of loop.
Drum 4 - time stretched and pitch shifted arpeggiated loops from FM CD.
Almost entirely based on sounds from a CD free with the first issue of the magazine, Future Music. It also features a sample from a BBC TV documentary about near-death experiences. Countless tracks from the next few years were based on this one CD as bedroom producers hungrily reused the samples creatively.
(I found it here too - enjoy!
https://archive.org/details/the-futur... )
If you've ever heard it, the '31 Seconds' and 'I felt like I was in a long dark tunnel' samples are especially memorable with the deep sub bass.
This was all programmed and played on a single Circuit Tracks. No additional synths or effects were used."
The guide here tells you step-by-step how to recreate this track. Thanks @newbreakscom5050:
Psychedelic Music on the Antonelli Syntorgan 2445
video upload by Reuben Jones
"I was kindly donated this Italian synth by a family friend and piano tuner who took over a piano repair business from a piano restorer and reverend here in Malta.
It sounds very cheesy and limited, but has quite a nice analogue filter with an LFO (which is either on or off, with no control over speed or amount!). You can route the (para)polyphonic organ through the filter, like on the Farfisa Syntorchestra. The rhythm section has several drum beats which can be mixed together to create more rhythms.

Ever wonder what gave the Airwolf theme its undeniable power? That iconic 80s sound wasn't just magic; it was meticulously crafted. We're diving deep into the analog synthesizers that built that soaring, unforgettable score, pulling back the curtain on the very instruments that defined a generation's sci-fi adventure."
The Airwolf Theme by Sylvester Levay from the album Airwolf - The Wonderweapon (1987)
Featured the Oberheim OB-Xa and the Emulator II
This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

Crumar Spirit by Cherry Audio is a meticulously crafted virtual recreation that captures the unique and captivating features of the exceptional analog monosynth from 1983, originally designed by some of the most legendary figures in the synth industry. In collaboration with Crumar, we have reopened a time capsule to revive this Italian cult classic and thoughtfully elevated it with Cherry Audio's signature style.
Spirit is a gateway to sonic experimentation, whether you are after wild, unpredictable timbres or warm, analog tones. It is not a polite instrument. Nor is it clean, safe, or obvious. However, twist a few knobs and it will reward you with some of the most colorful sounds you have ever heard from a virtual analog software synthesizer.
Crumar Spirit includes over 430 sensational presets in 12 categories
Producers will find immediate inspiration in Spirit's extensive preset library, created by a talented sound design team led by veteran sound designer James Terris. And don't miss the Spectres for Spirt Preset Pack (sold separately), featuring an additional 100 additional presets by James Dyson.
A "Little Synth" Designed by Legends
Crumar S.P.A., based in Castelfidardo, Italy, was a notable player in the 1970s musical instrument industry, specializing in home organs, digital pianos, and multi-sound keyboards, and with a significant focus on the U.S. market. Sante Crucianelli, the son of the owner, became the driving force behind Crumar's design and strategies. Crumar became known for its open lab culture, frequently allowing competitors to test instruments, a rare practice for the time. Another key figure during this period was Luciano Jura, a designer, musician, and programmer. Luciano became crucial as Crumar's point of contact with synth pioneer Bob Moog, which led to a collaboration that resulted in the creation of Crumar's Spirit synthesizer.
Although many details have been lost due to the passing of key figures and the closure of Crumar, the development of the Spirit synthesizer in the U.S. is well documented. Key contributors to the project, codenamed "Little Synth," included Moog engineer Jim Scott, Moog clinician and electronic music historian Tom Rhea, and Bob Moog himself. The project likely began around 1980 or 1981, and incorporated elements from earlier projects by Scott and Moog. Rhea played an essential role in defining the Spirit's key features, such as the keyboard scanning setup, panel layout, functional architecture, and technical documentation. The Crumar Spirit went into production and was released in late 1983.

Sequential Circuits' final synth. The Prophet VS
video upload by RetroSound
"(c)2007-25 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi
❤️ Support #RetroSound channel: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com
The Prophet VS was the last synthesiser to be released under the Sequential Circuits name. After the takeover by Yamaha in 1987, the following synthesisers were released under the Yamaha name.
Here is a demo track only made with the Sequential Prophet VS vector synthesizer from the year 1986. I use only self programmed sounds and the internal arpeggiator.
Sequential Circuits' last synthesiser in the 1980s was the Prophet VS, a hybrid synthesiser that was launched in 1986. It was the last synthesiser developed by Sequential Circuits before the takeover by Yamaha.
The Prophet VS was a digital synthesiser that differed from the company's previous analogue models. It was based on vector synthesis, a technique that made it possible to mix between different waveforms to create complex and versatile sounds. Although the Prophet VS was a digital synthesiser, it included a number of features that set it apart from other digital synthesizers of its time, such as its ability to change and manipulate sounds in real time.

Erica Synths Introduces New Elektor Formant DIY Modular Synth
sound demo video upload by Erica Synths
"Since Erica Synths originated as a company that originally developed DIY kits for Eurorack modular synthesizers, we want to keep the spirit of DIY synths alive and besides our mki x es.EDU DIY series, we went full in, and set out to develop a contemporary, DIY-friendly and extended version of the Elektor Formant synthesizer, originally published as a DIY kit in Elektor Magazine late 70-ties. In collaboration with Harald Antes of haraldswerk.de we developed a modular system based on Elektor Formant designs and added several modules to take its functionality to next level

Maniac/Michael Sembello (Circuit Tracks Version)
video upload by Guinan
"Feeling a yearning for a bit of LinnDrum action I loaded up a bunch of samples and it occurred to me to try this song - a bit of a musical 'guilty pleasure' as it has such a distinctive rhythm. I put the song on, donned my legwarmers and had a bit of a 'spin' around the room to the track in my best 'Flashdance' impression. Straight away it became apparent it shouldn't be possible to do it on the Tracks as it has too many tracks. Bass, electric piano chords, arpeggio, melody...and a distinctive 80's guitar solo! Not to be deterred I shrank it down as much as I could and used the layering and extra voices hacks I've talked about elsewhere * and what you hear is the end result.
It was a fun challenge and I hope you enjoy the end result. All you hear was programmed into a single Circuit Tracks and played 'live' just recording the audio outs.
More details for synth nerds
The excellent @CaptainPikant had a great video breaking down how the rhythm track was constructed so I largely followed this guide.
• MANIAC - The most INSANE drum pattern of t... [below]
BPM 155bpm
Synth 1 - mono bass synth
Synth 2 - 'piano'ish patch playing chords, arepeggio and melody lines (at different velocities/ranges)
Drum 1- LM1 bass drum
Drum 2 - LM1 snare and sidestick
Drum 3 - LM1 hihats and combined HH and fake guitar (see below)
Drum 4 - LM1 cowbell and clap
The 'guitar' is faked I'm sorry. My lead guitar skills are not up to this (I did try!) and my friendly local 'shredder' was busy. I used instead the Native Instruments Electric Sunburst plug in instrument to fake a short solo and drenched it in guitar effects. I recorded to 4 bar loops with the hihat pattern duplicated along with them and then triggered the samples at the right moment on the hihat track."
MANIAC - The most INSANE drum pattern of the '80s | Drum Patterns Explained
video upload by Captain Pikant
"The drum pattern of Michael Sembello's 'Maniac' is positively insane. It's what you'd get if you made a Synthwave drum track, decided it wasn't complex enough, glitched it up with a tiny dash of Aphex Twin and then put a second drum track on top of that with over a dozen Tom fills for good measure. Pure '80s maximalism with two of the most iconic drum sounds of that era."

This is the first video in my series on mastering the Roland S-1. In this episode, I cover the essential sound design features of this powerful little synth. Future videos will dive into advanced sound design, creative jamming techniques, sequencer tricks, and anything else you’d like to see.2. Roland S-1 | Advanced Sound Design Tutorial | Master the S-1: Ep. 2
The S-1 has a hidden super power: Custom Waveforms. Using the oscillator draw function you can input your own custom waveforms to create new sounds you wouldn't expect from a mini-SH-101 clone. I have a few that I use all the time and I wanted to share them with you. I hope you enjoy!3. Roland S-1 | Sequencing Tutorial | Master the S-1: Ep. 3
The Roland S-1 sequencer isn't the most advanced, but it offers a surprising amount of utility for its small size. For me, the S-1's sequencer is a quick and effective way to capture ideas and jam, in ways that even more advanced synths and grooveboxes don't always inspire. I get a lot of enjoyment from punching in patterns on the S-1 and using the tips and tricks I show in this video to create tracks and explore new ideas through jamming.4.

Behringer Syncussion SY-1 Analog Drum Patches + Samples Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"🥁 Analog Drums is a collection of 50 patches for the analog drum synthesizer Behringer Syncussion SY-1, featuring 12 Kicks, 8 Snares, 10 Toms, 6 Cymbals, 6 FX, and 8 Percussion sounds.
🔮 This soundset was born from an exploration of this retro-style drum synthesizer, crafting everything from classic, production-ready tones to more experimental percussive timbres. The result is a dual package: a patchbook plus 250 one-shot samples.
📦 Get the soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/sync...
💾 Each patch served as a starting point from which several variations were recorded by slightly tweaking parameters. This way, you get not only a guide to recreating the sounds but also a ready-to-use WAV collection (44.1kHz / 24-bit) for both hardware samplers and DAWs.
The collection is suitable for many genres: synthwave, retrowave, techno, deep, house, downtempo, industrial, and many others — anywhere an analog retro sound is needed.
🎹 The Behringer Syncussion SY-1 can be triggered not only via the TRIG button or external trigger but also through MIDI. When connected to a MIDI keyboard, the keys transpose the pitch of the patch—experiment with different notes, octaves, and sequenced patterns to unlock a broad sonic range. Tweaking parameters during performance adds dynamic movement and expressiveness to your percussion lines.
📒 The soundset comes in a PDF format. Following the guidelines while experimenting with the suggested settings will deepen your understanding of the synth’s capabilities.
🎧 Each patch also includes an audio example to demonstrate its intended sound.
I added synth parts to the demos. They are not included in the soundset.

New analog polysynth project JX2044 - sounds demo (WIP)
video upload by adamstan84
JX2044 Synthesizer Protoype - Polyphonic aftertouch test
video upload by adamstan84
"#JX2044 Quick test of response to PAT MIDI messages (routed to filter cutoff)."
You might remember adamstan84 from previous posts on the site dating back to 2015.
"#JX2044 is my latest synthesizer project. It's an analog synthesizer inspired by Roland JX8P. The "2044" refers to the filter chip I used - V2044 from CoolAudio, which is a clone of legendary SSM2044.
Here are some basic specs:
8 voices, bi-timbral
2 DCO oscillators with CrossMod (AM) block based on JX8P, but with PWM capability, and with added triangle waveform instead of noise for DCO B.
3 ADSR envelopes per voice - with switchable Exponential/Linear shape
3 LFOs per voice - LFOs can be slaved together for typical monophonic behavior. Seven waveforms - triangle, sine, square, rising ramp, falling ramp, random and noise.
4 pole (24dB/oct) resonant low pass filter (with self-oscillation)
DCO B can be used as source for Filter FM
master HPF per layer, adjustable in 16 steps.
Digital effects section per layer, with 4 blocks:
Resonant filter bank with two modes - "VP330 Human Voice" ("Male" and "Female" presets) and Polymoog Resonator with three adjustable bands.
Stereo chorus with three modes - "JX Slow", "JX Fast" and "StringMachine" - the last one using three delay lines modulated with dual LFOs.
4-stage phaser
Delay/Reverb
I tried to somehow group the sounds, but there are some oddballs here and there in between. Anyway, here are some bookmarks
00:00 Bread'n'butter sounds (pianos, electric organs and other emulative patches)

Teaching Kids to ‘Think Like a Synth’
video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music
"What happens when you program an ARP 2600 with two curious kids? A whole lot of wild and fun sounds. In this video, Anthony shows his daughters how to “Think Like a Synth” by recreating everything from a roaring lion to a 727 jet taking off — plus rain forest, crickets, birds, fire truck sirens, and even a talking synth that says “Oh yeah!”. Many of these patches are available for you to create using the ARP 2600 patch book.
This isn't just about music — it’s about learning how to shape sound, think creatively, and have fun doing it! There’s plenty of laughter, hands-on excitement, curious faces, and “wait, what?!” moments.
If you’ve ever wondered what synthesis is all about, this video shows how anyone — even kids — can dive in — and Think Like a Synth."
