The Most Beautiful Synth In The World?

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"Sometimes an instrument comes into your life and it feels like it was designed and built just for you. The Polygene 2 from Gene Synths, for me, is one of those instruments. An instrument that looks forwards and backwards, that sounds fantastic, demands that the player interacts with it on its own terms and, yes, looks utterly stunning.

In this video we're going to explore it together, how it sounds, how it plays and how it makes us feel!

"M-Audio Venom Purple Beta Tester Version As far as I know there where only a few of these made in this color. The production units where white with orange and black lettering. I was one of the beta testers and sound programmers for this synth. I upgraded the motherboard recently to a production release motherboard swapping out the beta motherboard. When I swapped the motherboard I reset it back to the factory patches but will provide a download of my patches that I programmed during the development of this synth. I also put in a new old stock keybed as the original one had yellowed, the new one is a bright white. While it requires using the editor from either a Mac or PC to program it completely it has a broad range of possible sounds. It is a very fat sounding synth."

Not Just for Textures: 3 Grain Processing Techniques for Beat Makers

video upload by Oddment

"In this video, I walk through three practical grain-processing techniques for beat makers using granular synthesis. Instead of the usual pads and soundscape examples, I’m focusing on drums and rhythmic material — showing how grains can shape feel, create modulation effects, add tonal character, and even move into wavetable-style synthesis.

These examples use loops from Joshua Van Tassel, part of the upcoming Odd-1 factory library. The Odd-1 is a modular grain synthesizer we’ve been developing at Oddment, and all of these techniques can be recreated directly on the hardware.

Techniques covered:
• Tempo-locked grains for changing the feel
• Grain-size modulation and rhythmic dropouts
• Tonal effects using closely spaced grains
• Wavetable-like sounds from tiny slices of audio

If you’re interested in granular synthesis, drum processing, time-stretching, or experimental beat-making techniques, you’ll probably find something useful here.

We’re finishing up the first small production run of the Odd-1. If you’d like updates or want to join the waitlist, you can do that on our website: https://www.oddment-audio.com/waitlist

This one is in via supporting member plantssystem.

"PlantsSystem has recreated Ryuichi Sakamoto classic song 'Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence' with their own unique interpretation. While preserving the original's tranquil sadness and heartwarming warmth, the texture of electronica breathes new light and breath into the song.
The transparent synth sounds and arrangement that carefully captures even the moment the sound fades away invite the listener into a deep afterglow.

This lyrical and beautiful cover quietly blends PlantsSystem's worldview with a melody that has endured through the ages.

"Unique 'All-in-one' Vintage Synth. I purchased this locally from a hammond organ repair shop & brought it home, I was blown away by the accessible drum sounds & pattern based sequencing. Usually these type of keyboard is a "kids toy" but this was different, with the pure analog sounds piercing through my speakers, this thing busted through a mix with warm & 80's tones. The playable foot pedals are really fun connecting to the bass sounds. This is not only a collectors item with music history, but it's a playable instrument for synth wave, disco & electronic music producers & enthusiasts. The arpeggios & patterns spark inspiration & the drum sounds come in handy for even just sampling into a song manually if you are recording & only one to use one instrument for the entire song!

I've dived into this synth on many occasions & did the other night, so I know everything is in working order. I would recommend reading the manual since some of the standard workflow we are used to in 2025 wasn't normalized back then.

INCLUDEDS

- Synth, Original IEC Power, Cable, Keyboard Cover, 3 Soft Cases, Foot Pedal, Volume & Control Pedal

I have the original stand, but I have NOT INCLUDED it in the listing since it would add significant weight & size to the shipping. If you are interested, let me know!"

Macro Oscillator Mode introduces a diverse palette of waveform types, including:
• classic analog VCO emulation
• additive and digital synthesis
• vowel/formant synthesis
• 2-operator FM
• simulation of string and wind instruments
• wavetable synthesis with smooth XY interpolation
• filtered/colored/pitched noise
• granular synthesis
• electronic drum sound simulation

Roland Juno-106 61-Key Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer w/ New Voice Chips

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

via this Reverb listing

"The Juno-106 synthesizer was Roland’s successor to the Juno-60 and was first released in 1984. It was one of Roland’s first synthesizers to include MIDI and the patch memory was expanded to 128 patches over the 56 available on the Juno-60.

The synth is polyphonic with 6 voices and 1 digital controlled oscillator per voice. It has a chorus effect to fatten up the sound and by pressing both the Poly 1 and 2 switches at the same time, the synth can be played in monophonic unison mode with all 6 voices playing on every key pressed. It has a non-resonant high pass filter and a resonant low-pass filter.

It’s easy to program and remains a popular synth to this day.

This unit was fully serviced in Oct 2021 at Bell Tone Synth Works and at that time, all 6 voice chips were replaced with Analogue Renaissance voice chips. In addition, they performed the following services:

Replace 3 electrolytic smoothing capacitors in power supply, reflow solder on power transistors/regulators, adjust power supply rail voltages
Re-solder output board jacks, cleaned output level switch and tuning pot.
Clean volume pot, portamento pot and pitch bend pot.
Replace old soldered-in patch memory battery with new battery in battery holder for easy replacement in the future; reload sounds.
Calibrate all parameters to Roland specs.
Replace 2-prong Japanese power cable connector with standard 3-prong IEC C14
Replace all panel button tact switches, clean all sliders, replace crumbly slider dust gaskets with new ones.
Replaced (2) MN3009 BBD IC's in Chorus circuit with new Xvive MN3009s to reduce noisy wooshing
Repaired and re-centered bender pot by resoldering the wiring and re-aligning to get the bender working correctly."

KORG TRIDENT MK1 Analog Synth Demo

video upload by EthanRayMusic

"Here's a brief sample of me playing the Korg Trident MK1 analog polyphonic synth. This is an incredibly lush and beautiful instrument with some of the finest sounding synth strings around.

The synth section alone sounds wonderfully gritty and bright in a way that really cuts through. The filter tone is also really great, with a very starry, twinkly quality.

The built in flanger is quite unique and sounds awesome."

"A pre-owned Conductive Labs NDLR in good condition. It comes with original packaging and accessories.

Manufacturer's description
A MIDI Four-track, Sequenced Arpeggiator, Chord and Drone Player

We’ve turned complex music theory into a killer synthesizer jamming MIDI controller. With four parts that can play up to 8 synths, you can make fantastic electronic music, such as soundscapes, electronica, ambient, electro, or techno to name a few. Whether noodling in your music space after work or jamming with friends, The NDLR can take your music to amazing places!

Press one of the seven chord buttons, and the two arpeggiators and drone follow the chord notes while your polyphonic synth sings with pads.

There are start and stop buttons for each of the four parts, and a button to start/stop all parts. And there’s a “panic” button to stop all MIDI notes.

"The K4 from Kawai can be thought of as a warm and fuzzy digital synthesizer. A sample-based digital synth, its sounds are those typically weird industrial type sounds that can still be useful in lo-fi, big-beat and trip hop music styles. The sounds are 16-bit preset PCM samples of acoustic instruments. However, unlike its predecessor the K1, the K4 adds a welcomed digital filter section. This truly makes the K4 more flexible, fun and useful for today's filter tweaking music effects!

The XD5 is an awesome drum synth module that has 256 waveforms, four of which can be combined to create a drum sound. It also has great resonant lowpass filters and envelopes for shaping the sounds and is excellent for techno, electro and industrial drums. For effects, a delay type effect is possible as well as a ring-modulator. It also has stereo outputs plus 6 individual outs for the studio pros. Mouse On Mars might use it.

The MM16 is a multi-purpose MIDI data processor with 17 front panel faders. Each of the sliders can be assigned for continuous controller information over any one of 16 MIDI channels, a "velocity mode" that uses the 16 sliders to become a "graphic EQ" for velocity data, and a system exclusive mode for transmitting system exclusive information to control individual synthesizer functions. Setups are included for Kawai K1, K4, K5, Yamaha DX7, and Roland D50. The MM16 can merge two MIDI signals, and can perform MIDI channelizing. You can also use it as a control surface for DAWS"

Is the Sequential FOURM the next Industrial classic?

Today we discover the ‪Sequential FOURM. The sound of Sequential synthtesizers helped shape EBM and industrial music sound, albums by bands such as Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM or VNV Nation. I'm putting the Sequential FOURM to the test to see if it can deliver that EBM and Industrial sound, just like the Prophet-5 and Pro-One did back then.
