The LOST Bad Gear Episode

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. In a time like ours when material needs no longer exist in music production the accumulation of things seems to have become more important than ever.

Today we are going to talk about Novation Drumstation. While today’s synth clones are mostly used for home studio decoration this 1996 drum machine and shameless Roland TR-808 and 909 ripoff was more or less the only affordable way to actually tweak the iconic drum sounds. Simpler times."

Press release follows:

The Crow Hill Company announces availability of popular POCKET STRINGS plug-in for free, bringing broadcast-grade string possibilities to everyone

EDINBURGH, UK: around a year after its initial launch, not long after the Edinburgh-based enterprise effectively rebranded itself with an aesthetic that truly realises company co-founder and composer Christian Henson’s heartfelt dream of encouraging people to make music and help them on their journey, regardless of whatever point they were at and wherever their journey began, The Crow Hill Company is proud to announce that it has made its popular POCKET STRINGS — styled as a never-tried-before strings plug-in that aims to bring broadcast-grade string possibilities to everyone by combining live cinematic orchestral recordings of some of the best musicians working in the UK with some rarefied vintage synth classics made to measure for added body, depth, and character — available for free with no strings attached (but pun intended), as of August 6…

"(Please note: This demo was shot a while ago, and several updates have improved the DR-2 even further.) Built into a solid metal chassis, the MODOR DR-2 is a drum machine unlike many others. It sounds refreshingly different from the dozens of X0X clones out there, yet it's still powerful enough to shake club walls.

With its old-school display, spacious interface, and faders, it definitely delivers the kind of '90s nostalgia that I really enjoy. Its different drum machine models offer a vast spectrum of possible sounds, and the MODOR is clearly on the digital side of the sonic spectrum.

It's a lot of fun to perform with (although I occasionally exaggerated the volume a bit while recording this demo). Take your time, learn the machine inside and out, and I'm sure you'll get even better results. I especially like the faders, and programming is quite straightforward. It's a little different from the step sequencers many users are familiar with, but it has its own logical workflow once you get the hang of it.

As a small company from Belgium, Modor Music has certainly found its niche as a boutique manufacturer with its own unique approach to synthesizer design. I congratulate them on creating this fantastic drum machine and welcome its refreshing take on what a modern drum machine can be.#drummachines #synth #synthesizer #technoproducer"

"We are delighted to announce Synterra, VAEMI’s new instrument, which many of you have been waiting for. We are truly excited.

Synterra is a unique device designed as a more comprehensive instrument than similar equipment created to date, capable of interacting with organic objects, living organisms, and different surfaces in its surroundings.

Synterra can use changes in the magnetic and electrical fields around it, liquid or solid organic materials, fruits, plants, fungi, trees, light, and the touch-sensitive area on its surface, allowing your own resistance to become part of the music and the patch.

Synterra also determines its initial position during startup by using the magnetic field of its environment as a reference. This allows the device to position itself according to its surroundings each time it is powered on and begin processing incoming signals based on this initial reference.

In addition to these features, the device offers 8 different scale options. Synterra converts signals received from living organisms or other sources into data. It then processes this data through probability and quantizer structures, creating an algorithmic arrangement that generates different notes at different times. In this way, the device establishes a generative synthesis structure within itself.

Synterra features 9 different synth presets. These presets include a variety of synthesis characters based on subtractive synthesis, wavetable, resonator, Karplus–Strong, drums, and noise.

The device can also be used practically without being connected to any living organism, as light and your own resistance can be incorporated into the circuit. In addition, a much wider variety of sensors can be added to the system through the clip cables and the additional sensor input.

Synterra can be powered by either batteries or USB. Battery operation allows you to use the device comfortably on nature walks, in outdoor spaces, and in creative environments outside the studio.

The onboard potentiometers allow you to adjust the output level of the internal sounds, as well as the amount and sensitivity values. This enables you to use the device comfortably across a broader range of applications and receive signals at more suitable levels from different living organisms or organic sources.

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."

EMW VPoly 6X: Pads, Strings, and Analog Sounds in a Brazilian VA Synth Module

video upload by Marcus Padrini

"The EMW VPoly-6X from @emwsynthesizers is a Brazilian polyphonic VA synthesizer, in module format, inspired by the classic Korg Polysix.

I had the opportunity to follow part of the development, test different prototypes, and contribute some ideas to the project. In this video, I show in detail how the VPoly works, its construction, its voice modes, effects, timbre editing, and, most importantly, how it sounds.

The VPoly 6X has six voices of polyphony, an oscillator with sub-oscillator, a multimode filter, envelopes, LFO, different polyphonic and monophonic modes, and an effects processor with chorus, ensemble, phaser, delay, and Bloom.

I also show the Spread, an independent feature that distributes the voices in the stereo field and adds small variations in pitch, creating broad and immersive sounds.

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.

Inside the 3rd Wave Sequencer | Patching In

video upload by Groove Synthesis

"Did you know there is a full pattern sequencer built into every 3rd Wave synth? 💡

Episode 2 of Patching In is all about the pattern sequencer built into every 3rd Wave synth. It follows a pattern-based, MPC-style approach, and it is a quick way to catch an idea before it gets away: record parts and patterns in real time, capture your knob moves as parameter automation right alongside the notes, string those patterns into a full song, all without ever leaving the instrument. You also have quantize that can be applied or undone, and also swing on each part and pattern.

As always, Bob walks you through it all in the full video, and the companion article goes deeper, with step-by-step recipes for recording patterns, automating parameters, and arranging a song on the 3rd Wave: https://groovesynthesis.com/2026/07/2...
