Arturia Polybrute12 - emotional & downplayed patches - no rock n roll or acid house, but lot of love

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"Seven and a half minuter of me going through a few of my latest patches on the Arturia PolyBrute 12. I have been trying to get into it, by making a few patches every evening, while the family watches tv. And it is weird, I always start with the init patch, which is like the least inspiring init patch I have ever heard. It is just dead. I should really make a new init patch, as I spend a few minutes menu-diving, switching to the same settings every time...

I have a weird relationship with this synth - I don't enjoy working with it very much, but whenever I record it, it just shines in its own grungy way, lofi and vintage way. It just have this wonderful downplayed vintage character (likely because I felt like climbing mountains to get it to sing the way I like it.

Anyway... No talking. Just patches.

The main theme right now seems to be semi-haunting keyboard sounds. It is likely a result of me spending as much time as possible at the moment with DSP development and plugin creation - no time playing the piano. So it is kind of trying to get the same feeling I get when I play piano by myself, but in patches.

No external effects or processing - recorded straight to a Zoom H6 field recorder - so it won't get more true than this.

If you’re here for clean, polite polysynth vibes, this is not that. It never is with me. This is just about feeling, hearts breaking in empty wastelands."

Alisa 1377 (1985) - Ambient Sound Demo

video upload by LFOstore

"#alisa #1377 #alisa1377 #synth #demo
Rare USSR synthesizer restored by Alex Taber!

It was made in USSR in 1985 at Luberetskiy Military Radioplant 'Rodina' near Moscow.

ALISA synthesizers were made especially for experimental electronic music, creating of sound effects in soviet cinema and scientific acoustic researches. This unique instrument has warm, aggressive and absolutely original analog sound!

The synthesizer has 1 OSC with 4 wave forms, ADSR , filter, various modulations, vibrato and portamento effects.

OSCILLATOR: tune; octave +1/+2; portamento; wave forms: triangle, saw, square, odd harmonics; frequency modulation (for all 4 waveforms); impulse-width modulation (for square wave form) with impulse width and depth controls; harmonics (for odd harmonics wave form). You can use individual OSC waveforms (triangle, saw, square, odd harmonics) or mix them together to get unique sounds!

LFO: on/off modulation switch, two waveforms (triangle, square), modulation rate, modulation rate coarse switch - 1Hz/10Hz.

FILTER: cutoff, resonance, vibrato (filter modulation), ADSR, switch between filter control- keyboard or contour OSC (ADSR). The synths filter due to it`s original architecture can be used as additional oscillator when filter`s resonance knob in self-oscillaltion position and it sounds really weird and interesting!

AMPLIFIER: ADSR, main volume, on/off synthesizer."

Lambda PolyPulse Midi Control Examples

video upload by Noel Sharp

"Controlling external synthesizers with the Lambda Synthetics PolyPulse x-y pads is much more versatile than you might expect. You can actually send one pad to up to 12 different midi channels and/or 12 completely different parameters, transforming external synth sounds the same way you can change internal synth sounds.

You can also send out notes from the internal sequencer or receive notes from an external sequencer. You can do both and control x-y parameters at the same time! You can setup the PolyPulse as the center of a live set or live jam session and have numerous effects and synthesizers radically transform at the same time."

event horizon — ambient space synth journey

video upload by SOUNDS OF SYNTH

"Cinematic ambient music — atmospheric synth soundscapes for deep, immersive listening.

This track is made purely from a sine wave. The Novation Peak is playing a single oscillator which I've put through a Mood Mk2 pedal to create the ambient, spacey vibe.

I've cranked the distortion up on the Peak which is what gives the lead a bit of grit particularly towards the end.

I hope you enjoy. peace all.

Realm of Light — Berlin School Ambient Journey (Typhon Synth, 25 min)

video upload by The Pedalboard Orchestra

"A 25-minute Berlin School–inspired ambient journey built around a sequenced analog synthesizer and evolving modulation.

Driven by the Dreadbox Typhon, the sound slowly unfolds through filter movement, envelopes, and layered effects processing—creating a deep, immersive soundscape that rewards focused listening.

A key element in shaping the modulation is the Chase Bliss Lossy, especially its filter, while additional textures and time-stretched layers are introduced using the Chase Bliss Mood Mk II (Slip Mode & Stretch Mode).

Signal Path:
Dreadbox Typhon → Chase Bliss Lossy (modulated via Moog Expression Pedal) → Old Blood Noise Endeavors Black Fountain Stereo → Chase Bliss Mood Mk II → Eventide Space

How Vince Clarke Made “Don’t Go” | Yazoo Synthpop Breakdown

video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"What makes 'Don’t Go' by Yazoo one of the most iconic synthpop tracks of the 1980s?

In this video, I explore how Vince Clarke shaped the sound of early electronic music through his work with Yazoo, and how his minimalist but powerful approach to synthesizers helped define an entire genre. After leaving Depeche Mode, Clarke refined his production style — focusing on strong melodies, tight sequencing, and bold synth sounds — and “Don’t Go” is one of the best examples of that evolution.

Before diving into the recreation, I share a bit of context around Yazoo and why this track became so influential across synthpop and electronic music.

Then I take you into the studio.

Step by step, I recreate the track using a combination of vintage hardware and modern tools inside Logic Pro. For this version I used:

• Sequential Circuits Pro-One – basslines and lead elements
• Sequential Drumtraks – drum programming
• Logic Pro VST instruments – additional textures and supporting sounds

I walk through the recording process, sequencing, arrangement, and showing how each layer comes together to recreate the energy of the original track.

It is interesting to understand how Vince Clarke’s production approach continues to influence modern electronic music, from synthpop to contemporary electronic genres."

KONSTRUKT-8 is an expressive live performance instrument and sound design tool – plus a hands-on deep dive into electronic circuit design. Each of its eight DIY modules comes with a detailed build guide and can be explored on a breadboard first, letting you trace every circuit design decision before assembling the final instrument.

KONSTRUKT-8 includes four fully analog drum voices:

• Kick Drum. A resonant bridged-T network produces deep, punchy kicks.

• Snare Drum. A burst of filtered transistor noise layered over a tuned resonator creates a crisp snap.

• Hi-Hat. Six dissonant square-wave oscillators are mixed, filtered, and overdriven to create metallic percussion.

• FM Drum. Two interacting oscillators form a versatile percussion voice capable of kicks, toms, bells, and cymbal-like sounds.

A four-channel drum sequencer lets you tap in rhythms that loop automatically. Under the hood, shift registers store the pattern as a circular sequence of binary data.

All voices feed into a four-channel mixer with per-channel FX sends and a master insert, allowing you to shape the entire beat with external effects or the built-in distortion and compressor.

Two effects modules complete the system: an analog bucket-brigade delay (BBD) with flanger and delay modes, plus a diode-based compressor with sidechain capability.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Both versions ship with:

• EDU DIY Kick Drum kit

• EDU DIY Snare Drum kit

• EDU DIY Hi-Hat kit

• EDU DIY FM Drum kit

• EDU DIY Drum Sequencer kit

• EDU DIY Output Mixer 2 kit

• EDU DIY BBD kit

• EDU DIY Compressor kit

• 8 downloadable build guides

The system version also includes:

• Eurorack enclosure with integrated power supply

• 15 braided patch cables (5× 20cm, 5× 30cm, 5× 60cm)

Super JX and the MPG-7X

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Roland Super JX (MKS-70 / JX-10) is one of Roland’s most underrated analogue polysynths. Released in 1986, it was effectively two JX-8P synth engines in one instrument, giving you 12 voices of DCO analogue synthesis, huge pads, powerful basses, and classic mid-80s Roland character.

In this video I take a deep dive into the Roland MKS-70 Super Jupiter rack synth, paired with the Retroaktiv MPG-7X programmer and the Vecoven PWM upgrade, which massively expands the capabilities of the original synth.

We explore how the controller transforms the experience compared with the original menu-driven interface, and look at the additional synthesis power introduced by the Vecoven upgrade including true PWM, additional envelopes, extra LFO, and expanded modulation routing.

Along the way I demonstrate a range of sounds including pads, basses, evolving textures and layered patches, showing why the Super JX became famous for its huge analogue pads and rich detuned sounds.

I also look at some of the performance features of the MPG-7X such as assignable controls, patch generation, chord mode, velocity crossfading and MIDI integration, which make this combination feel like a modern analogue synthesizer despite the vintage hardware.

If you're into vintage Roland synths, analogue polysynths, or classic 80s synthesis, the Super JX is a fascinating instrument sitting right at the transition between the analogue era and the rise of digital synths like the DX7.
