Dangerous Noise Box - Modular synth exploration

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"Let's see if we can make a lot of noise with the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR. And actually, it works really well!

Since the module has plenty of input and output points, it's possible to create all sorts of different feedbacks. And therefore lots of strange sounds. From clicks to white noise, and all kinds of crackles!
And since originally, the waveform of the oscillator is a sine wave, you can easily go from a very soft sound to something very aggressive!

The video is divided into 2 parts:
An explanation of the patch.
Two improvisations with this patch.

The DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR is a Eurorack module. It's a complex dual oscillator.

UDO DMNO - It's bad

video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie - After Hours

"Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol

Boring NAMM 2026 Noir here again lol
DUH, it's bad ass, OBVIOUSLY, the UDO team are kings of giving us classssssy old school sounds, amazing futuristic soundscapes all while putting it inside a gorgeuos box, imagine being able to get down on something that feels as good as it looks. See people as a musician, sound isn't everything, it's playability, it's easy of use, it's also is something inspirational. The DMNO is every single one of those things. Synths have gone stale, it honestly sucks, I'm not a synth crazy person, I'm a musician who loves cool instruments, getting excited has been real hard the last few years, hence why I've been playing shows and making albums way more. Can't be stuck inside playing the same ole thing companies think is 'groundbreaking, you should be excited' UDO is the truth, and they did it again. This is truly the new Cream Dream."

the 90s digital synth you don't know they used

Today we’re diving into the Kawai K4. This 90s digital synth played a quiet but important role in shaping the sound of early industrial music, heard in the work of bands like Front Line Assembly, Wumpscut, Intermix, Delerium, X-Fusion and Solitary Experiments . I’m putting the K4 to the test to see if it still delivers that unmistakable 90s industrial character. Decades later, it remains a cult favorite for music producers and sound designers chasing dark, mechanical atmospheres.

Behringer JN-80 - Sounds Like a $HIT - I mean, sounds like a synth lol

video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie - After Hours

"Look, what am I supposed to say, it sounds fine, it plays fine, it's not a bad product.... BUT, how can I be excited about something that I don't care about. It literally sounds like a synth, not bad, not great, not inspiring, BUT who cares. It's a tool, use it if you got it. I could make an album with it as easily as a real Juno-60/106. I wouldn't buy it, but that's not because of any other reason than I don't need another synth lol. Behringer JN-80 is fine, but a Cmaj7#11 is the same no matter what the brand. Don't push brands, push creativity.

Ambient Electronica of Fading Synths and Sapporo soundscape | Fading Memories 2026-01-22 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP88, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and tape loops. Set against field recordings captured in snowy streets of Sapporo, electric piano and synthesizer sounds emerge and fade away, forming an ambient electronica composition.

The Prophet-10 is used to play synth pads, processed with reverb and delay via ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND.

Two tape loops are used. One contains a one-minute recording of an electric piano performance, while the other plays field recordings from the streets of Sapporo. The electric piano tape is played back on a ‪@WeAreRewind1‬ cassette player and processed with delay using ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE. The field recording tape is played on a Rock & Play cassette player, with the pitch lowered and further processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, where reverb and layered micro-loops deepen the pitch and texture.

The Moog One and Nord Lead are occasionally played to add synth pads. The Nord Lead is processed with reverb via ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

The CP88 plays a Rhodes sound, layering simple phrases with its built-in reverb and delay."

Hacking the Korg Phase8 to uncover NEW SOUNDS

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"The Korg Phase8 has been present in the collective synth-nerd consciousness for a few years, as Korg’s Berlin skunkworks department have slowly released details and demo’d prototypes, most notably at the last two Superbooth events. An iconic, mainstream synth manufacturer like Korg, exploring and experimenting with an entirely new concept in how synthesis can be used was an exciting prospect, and captured a lot of people’s imaginations - mine included.

I was lucky enough to find time to explore those prototypes at the previous two Superbooths, and even more lucky to have Korg approach me with a completed production model to make a video about.

The final model is an impressive physical instrument, with Korg Berlin’s industrial design chops on display, but I’m here mostly to talk about the sound and the functionality of the Phase 8, so in this video I’ll explore how it operates solo, how it can be integrated into a larger setup, try out some “extended techniques” and discuss where I feel the Phase 8 could be pushed further.

Transparency notice: Korg kindly sent over the Phase8 to make videos about. They haven't requested or been granted any oversight of the contents of the videos. I haven't otherwise been paid, but I do get to keep the unit shown in this video."

The Stylosette is the latest addition to our Pocket-sized Analog synthesizer range. It’s a monophonic mini analog synth that looks like a cassette and comes in a cool retro cassette storage case for batteries, clips, a screwdriver and cables, which are all included. It also has a built-in speaker, aux out, and an expansion port.

Use the crocodile clips provided to trigger sounds using conductive objects such as fruits, vegetables, or spoons! The Stylosette has a 13-key touch-sensitive keyboard and is played by sliding your finger along the touch-sensitive metal surface, so no need for a Stylus.

Each segment on the synthesizer keyboard plays a different note, so you can create rich, dynamic music with delay effects, vibrato, and a three-octave range.

Change the speed, depth, and delay with the screwdriver accessory to customize your sound. Even connect to another Stylosette. Buzz, twist, and warp every note in the palm of your hand – anywhere.

It’s an excellent gift for both musicians and beginners alike. All you need to do is insert batteries, turn it on, touch the keypad, and make some noise!

Alchemist is now EURORACK... into the CITADEL!!!!!
So here we go checking out how this synth engine will play out with his other citadel friend the Wave Bard in breakbeat torture mode.
Also a cool oportunity to play around the Diktaat from Mzourack to trigger both units in a performative way.

Citadel Alchemist is a patchable hybrid-synthesis based eurorack module that empowers you in discovering melodies and even harmonies despite being monophonic.
Patch programmable sequencing via the control signals into the two PITCH MOD inputs opens up a world of melodic inspiration beyond classic arpeggios while staying in your preferred SCALE.

5 synthesis modes
The Alchemist has a carefully tuned wide timbral range spanning across 5 synthesis modes (FILTER, FM, HYPERSINE, SUPERSAW and GLITCHNOISE) accessed by main TIMBRE sweep that is refined by the RATIO control.

The ENV macro knob affects different parts of the synth and sequencing engine to maximize musicality and it even lets you continually morph between the synthesis modes and access truly unique sounds.
The timbral palette is further extended by the dual FX section which offers either a wide delay that will smear the arpeggios into echoed harmonies or a chorus-flanger-distortion-combfilter macro custom tuned for each synth mode.
You can also access gliding rubber textures with the PITCH SLIDE macro that applies pitch envelope and portamento.
You can customize its rhythms and scales with the web-based editor.
Modulate anything
All main parameters can be modulated and tightly sequenced by the surprisingly powerful CV and GATE pattern generator. Create groovy off-grid beats using the built-in LFO, which can be synced, reset, or left to run freely.

Diverse moods of Leviasynth / by Jexus.

video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)

"In 2025 Ashun Sound Machines contacted me and asked if I would like to create a set of unique presets for their upcoming synth. No details were disclosed about the instrument but, as you can imagine, I was curious. I agreed and several weeks later a monster 8-oscillator synth arrived at my doorstep. Today all of you can see it and hear it in action - the LEVIASYNTH is ready! Here's a quick video with some factory presets I created on the new Leviasynth. In this demo I kept the internal reverb low and did a fair amount of tweaking to give you a better idea of the timbre / behavior of the synth.

ASM Leviasynth | Sounds and Key Features | Synth Universe

video upload by Synth Universe

"A musical exploration of Leviasynth, Ashun Sound Machines’ successor to the Hydrasynth. Leviasynth is an 8 oscillator algorithmic synthesizer with analog and digital filters and five types of synthesis.

All the sounds featured in this video were created by me and are included in the Leviasynth factory presets (except Synfluctuate and PD keys which may be released by ASM as part of future banks). If you own or try out a Leviasynth, you can browse patches by sound designer and select Synth Universe to find all my sounds. Here I have often emphasized sounds that make use of the analog filter, showing the ability of Leviasynth to emulate analog synths, as this is one of the first things I want to know when assessing a hybrid synth. I also feature patches that highlight the other types of synthesis including FM and phase distortion.

This is a deep and powerful ‘monster’ of a synth and so far I have really only scratched the surface of its capabilities. There are too many features to list here so go to Ashun Sound Machines website to find out more.

Disclaimer: ASM sent me a pre-production unit for the purposes of sound design, but otherwise they had no input into the making of this video or the opinions expressed within.

No external enhancement or processing was applied to the sounds in this video: you are hearing them as output directly from the synth.

Note: Leviasynth does have a powerful arpeggiator and sequencer, but as they were still being finalized during the time I created these patches they are not featured in this video."

ASM LEVIASYNTH Review // Keyboard vs Desktop vs Hydrasynth

video upload by loopop

Details:


From the darkest recesses of the unexplored oceans comes ASM's most powerful creation yet—a hybrid algorithmic synthesizer with sixteen-voice polyphony, eight oscillators per-voice, and a truly absurd amount of sound design potential. There are over 300 waveforms available for each voice's eight oscillator slots, giving you access to a bonafide sandbox of sonic alchemy. Each voice's oscillators can be arranged and rearranged for versatile modulation schemes using the many available algorithms. This open-ended method of crafting timbres gives you nearly-unlimited possibilities for sculpting sounds ranging from familiar tones to completely alien timbres. In addition to the ability to create your own algorithm, the Leviasynth also comes with 144 preset algorithms for quick sparks of inspiration, and the ability to morph between these oscillators non-linearly.

The oscillators can be modulated in a multitude of ways to create even more timbral variation: Frequency Modulation, Phase Modulation, Pulse Width Modulation, HTE Sync, and Phase Distortion can all be applied to Leviasynth's oscillators for nearly-endless sound design potential. These, along with nearly every other parameter, can be affected using the internal 32-slot modulation matrix. Each of the eight oscillators includes its own volume envelope, along with five additional shared envelopes and five LFOs per-voice for creating a moving sonic texture within the canvas of the expansive modulation matrix.

The Leviasynth is one of ASM's most expressive synthesizers to date, offering a 61-key keybed with full polyphonic aftertouch, MPE compatibility, and a four-octave ribbon controller for even deeper playability. Record and playback more than just audio with the internal three-track sequencer, allowing you to record note, arpeggio, and macro automation data. Control a plethora of parameters across the synth with the eight individual macro controls, which provide a deep level of expressivity given the broad timbral potential of Leviasynth's multi-algorithm design. Expand this expressiveness into your Eurorack systems with the 3.5mm CV I/O, providing two assignable Mod inputs, as well as outputs for Pitch, Gate, Clock, and two assignable Mod outputs.

Leviasynth offers both analog and digital filters for sculpting multi-layered timbres. On the analog side, you get a buttery-smooth four-pole low pass, which provides the foundation for beautiful, intimate sounding patches. On the digital-end of the spectrum there is a complex, Hydrasynth-style multimode filter with eighteen different filter types. All of these filters can self-oscillate at high resonance settings, along with pre-drive saturation for helping your patches cut through any mix. The effects section offers two independent methods for applying that extra layer of polish to your sound. In the master effects, you can shape and transform your final sound with Delay, Reverb, Distortion, Rotary, Phaser, Chorus, Compression, EQ and more. The second method provides dedicated insert effects, which offer five flavors of Delay and four Reverbs for giving your sounds that ever-important sense of space. This two-layered approach to effects gives the Leviasynth a sound all its own, and when used in tandem with the aforementioned suite of timbral shaping engines, your imagination is the only limit. Like the vast unexplored waters of the deepest oceans, the ASM Leviasynth holds an immense amount of undiscovered potential underneath its dormant surface.

"The K3 is a six-voice wavetable synthesizer with 32 waveforms, some of which are unique waves and others are samples of acoustic instruments like piano and percussion. Each voice consists of two digital oscillators run through an analog filter (based on SSM2044 filter chips), and an analog VCA. The sound of the K3 is reminiscent of the PPG Wave 2, 2.2 or 2.3, and it can produce deep, lush analog/digital sounds. The K3 is ergonomically like other mid-80s synthesizers, with membrane buttons and an encoder for editing parameters.
