Electric Cow EC909 - TR-909 drum machine / TB-303 synth for Atari STE/TT/Falcon

- demo & sample pack video upload by ako

"Quick look at the Electric Cow EC909 drum machine / soft synth for Atari ST/TT/ Falcon and a sample pack made from it's TR-909 sounds. It's a combined TR-909 and TB-303 emulator in one programme (a lot like Steinberg / Propellerheads's ReBirth) which is neat and features PCM samples from a TR909 for the drums (also neat) which can be edited in terms of pitch and attack. My understanding is their wares were more aimed at the falcon but will run on STEs and TTs given that this was released in 1998. EC909 can create single‑bar patterns (in real time on the Falcon), and then export them as AIFF or AVR (Both 8‑ or 16‑bit formats, mono or stereo). The program can also generate a MIDI File from your pattern. MIDI triggering for drums is also possible. The manual, which is still online, contains instructions for loading your own samples into to replace the stock 909 samples using the included CandiKit program, very cool! this lags noticeably on the STE, but still works well enough to play back the drum sounds for sampling.

Minimal Ambient on the Korg Volca FM2

video upload by Synth Codex

"I recorded this short fragment entirely on the Korg Volca FM2, effects included. No rush, no destination. Just a small, repeating idea left to unfold on its own.

I've been listening to a lot of Japanese ambient music artists lately, such as Hiroshi Yoshimura, Satoshi Ashikawa, Midori Takada, and many others. I wanted to try capturing some of that same spirit here: minimal by design, with room left for rests between notes for the listener to fill in.

Thanks for listening."

SN 450438 via this eBay listing

See the seller's other listings for more.

"Up for sale is my favorite Roland synth of the 70s era. It has all the raw tone of the System 100 with way more features and quite a stunning look. Check out the attached video of a quick demo of this actual SH5. It all works great and sounds great. Hard to find one fully functional and looking this good.. heck, hard to find at all. I found using this with ease and nothing that hindered use or performance. It always delivered what I needed in sessions. If I had to be REALLY picky.. it could use a spray of contact cleaner on a pot or two and on a rare occasion a key might double trigger (this era of roland synths is notorious for that) BUT as you can see and hear from the video, it's fine the way it is. I never found the need to detail it. Just stating for those that might be expecting MINT. Otherwise.. this is an amazing example of an SH5. Basses, leads, modulated madness.. it delivers."

The best groovebox he's ever played | Akai MPC Key 37 G2 live performance

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer performance using only the MPC Key 37 G2.

To be clear: I bought this synth with my own money, thanks to the support of my Patreon community. So while I recognize that the following praise seems effusive, it's the truth.

I got into hardware through grooveboxes. I started with the Novation Circuit and got more complex from there. The groovebox—sequencer, multiple timbres of synth, drums, samples, and effects—is my happy place. And while many devices have been good, I've never found "the one", that one groovebox that does everything you want it to do. Until now, maybe.

I've played with MPCs quite a bit over the last few years, but this newest generation, and this model in particular, is the one. It's a combination of things: a mature platform with fast loading and workflow; every conceivable sound type I want, from synths to samples to piano; a robust collection of effects, with great reverbs, delays, and ways to mess up a sound; more tracks than I'll ever need for a song; a sequencer without the limitations of 64 or 128 steps; clip launching; simple audio recording in; auto-sampling to capture your own sounds; MIDI in and out via 5-pin DIN and USB; MIDI learn with peripheral MIDI controllers that works flawlessly; USB multi-track audio recording that just works without a hitch; so much more.

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

Since my TRAVELER teaser went live, I have been asked a number questions regarding it's flexibility, ease of use, and overall sound.

Yes it can do beautifully epic scoring pads and stunning leads but that is not all, it is such a workhorse of a synth, and I believe future users will be using it in most of their productions.

I put this short track together, just to let you good folks hear just how well it does dance music.

The Cars - Hello Again | 80s Vintage Synth Cover | Moog Prodigy & Oberheim OB-Xa

video upload by RetroSound

"The Cars – Hello Again recreated with authentic 80s vintage synthesizers and drum machines. Originally released on the iconic 1984 album Heartbeat City and written by Ric Ocasek.

For this cover I used the Moog Prodigy for the bass and sync lead sounds, while the Oberheim OB-Xa provides the lush pads and organ textures. Drums are created with the iconic LinnDrum, with additional percussion from the E-mu Emulator II.

If you love The Cars, 80s New Wave, Synth Pop, Vintage Analog Synthesizers, and classic electronic music, this performance is for you.

Gear Used
• Moog Prodigy – Bass & Sync Lead
• Oberheim OB-Xa – Pads & Organ
• LinnDrum – Drums
• E-mu Emulator II – Percussion

This cover is a tribute to the incredible production and atmosphere of the original recording, combining authentic 1980s synthesizers, sampler technology, and classic drum machines.

The goal of this production was to recreate the authentic sound and atmosphere of the mid-1980s using original hardware instruments."

1. Practice session | Moog DFAM, Subharmonicon, Labyrinth

I’ve been too busy recently to come up with any music this weekend, so I only had a moment for a short practice session. I wasn't sure at first, but yeah... I’m uploading this just to show my process of searching for something meaningful. Sometimes you just need to sit down at your synthesizers, tweak some knobs, and even if nothing mindblowing comes out right away, it pays off in the long run. In the end, it always turns out to be worth it.

Maybe someone will find this video interesting! Cheers! 🤘🏻

SΞQMØDΞ Behringer Sessions

video uploads by SΞQMØDΞ

Playlist:

1. Behringer 2600 Gray Meanie meets Moog Sound Studio (DFAM, Subharmonicon, Labyrinth) | First Jam

Lately I picked up another synth... yeah, GAS hits hard 😅 My first jam with the Gray Meanie! I still remember loading up Arturia's ARP 2600 emulation years ago and thinking, "what is this shit?" I didn't understand anything back then. I gave up on it pretty quickly and forgot all about it. Later, I found out through deadmau5's MasterClass that it was the synth behind R2-D2's voice, which got me interested again... but only for a while.

Fast forward to now, I finally bought one and decided it's time to actually learn it. I think it'll be a great addition to my semi-modular setup. I'm really enjoying it so far! Behringer did a solid job with this one: the leds looks great, feels really well built, and works really well with my korg sequencer.

Anyway... hope you find this little noodling session interesting! 🤘🏻

2. Trying to make the Behringer 2600 work with my Moog Sound Studio | Jam

Just a quick jam exploring this Behringer/Moog setup and seeing if they actually complement each other.

A lot of people say Behringer synths just don't belong next to Moogs... so yeah, I'm doing my best to make it work. :D

Hope you enjoy! 🤘🏻

3. Behringer 2600, KORG SQ-64, Moog Sound Studio (DFAM, Subharmonicon, Labyrinth) | Synth Jam

Another quick jam using the Grey Meanie alongside the Moog Sound Studio. Hope you find it interesting! :D

btw, I’ve been struggling with free time lately, so you might’ve noticed I'm behind on comments.. But I'll catch up step by step! And of course, I’ll be checking out your jams too! Cheers, friends! 🤘🏻

4. Behringer 2600 Gray Meanie | Noodling Session

Gray Meanie stuff... I really need to learn this synth, feeling quite lost while jamming, so yeah... This isn't even a jam, it's just a noodling session, trying things out with the Korg SQ-64...

Hope you find it interesting!

5. Paraphonic mode on Behringer 2600 | Noodling Session

First time using the 2600 in duo mode. I used the Arturia MicroBrute strictly as a keyboard controller, there's no sound coming from it here. The whole thing is just a raw jam with a many mistakes, but I was having a blast. I really love how the 2600 sounds as a paraphonic synth and I was completely lost in the zone while noodling...

Hope you find it interesting!

Huge Synth Sounds with Just 1 Oscillator

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"A huge synth sound doesn’t always mean more oscillators.

In this video, I’ll show you how to get more size, character and impact from just ONE oscillator before you start stacking additional ones. By understanding how to shape and bring out what’s already there, you can create sounds that feel bigger while keeping them clear, focused and musical.

Sometimes the answer isn’t adding more it’s getting more out of what you already have.

This Eurorack filter has AUTO DYNAMICS! // Flow 3 from Joranalogue *MEGA DEMO*

video upload by DivKid and Joranalogue Audio Design

"As we'd expect from Joranalogue, they take inspiration from classic, seemingly simple functions and turn them into musical and technically impressive devices. Flow 3 is a compact filter that builds upon on the idea of an auto wah, it's a filter with 'auto dynamics'. There's on board modulation, that can modulate itself or your modular system, stave variable filter outputs, CV over everything and an easy to play with layout in 6HP."

Update: Press release follows:

Joranalogue Audio Design announces availability of Flow 3 auto-dynamic filter module for Eurorack that sounds bigger than it looks

STEKENE, BELGIUM: having made its impressive-sounding debut during a showcase at SUPERBOOTH26, May 7-9, FEZ-Berlin, Germany, high-quality Eurorack music synthesiser modules-maker Joranalogue Audio Design is proud to announce availability of Flow 3 — an auto-dynamic filter that sounds bigger than it looks, thanks to the novel variation on the classic state variable filter topology that lies behind its compact 6 HP panel — as of August 25…

Firstly, Flow 3’s core integrator saturation of its simultaneous — low-pass (LP2), attenuates frequencies above the filter frequency (or cutoff) at -12 dB/octave and self-oscillates at a phase of 180°; bandpass (BP2), selects a band of frequencies around the filter frequency (but below and above that the attenuation slope is -6 dB) and self-oscillates at a phase of 90°; and high-pass (HP2), attenuates frequencies below the filter frequency at -12 dB/octave and self-oscillates at a phase of 0° — outputs provide for a sound that is clean yet distinctive.

RESONANCE response is exceptionally smooth — it, too, can easily reach self-oscillation (at higher feedback levels), the temperature compensation and exact calibration effectively transforming Flow 3 into a reliable quadrature sine/cosine VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) with tight pitch tracking.

The ace up Flow 3’s sleeve, however, lies in its auto-dynamic nature — helpfully highlighted by the non-erasable AUTO DYNAMIC FILTER graphic positioned across that compact, clean-cut 6 HP panel. After all, it is a filter that can modulate itself, achieved by a combined DECAY generator/envelope follower circuit controlling the filter frequency over an adjustable range; either fire decay envelopes from external triggers, or flip it to AUTO mode to follow along with the incoming signal’s amplitude envelope (or both, simultaneously).

Saying all that, then, creating heavy-hitting analogue kick drum sounds becomes a breeze, but, with a bit of patching, Flow 3 can even be used as a spectrum splitter (or crossover), cleanly separating the full audio range into low and high portions, for dual-band signal processing — perfectly possible thanks to the Linkwitz-Riley filter response at minimum resonance.

Ultimately, users of Flow 3 can clearly get carried away as the Eurorack module concerned creatively takes the old auto-filter concept to new voltage-controlled heights, hearing for themselves exactly what the fuss was all about at that impressive-sounding SUPERBOOTH26 showcase!

Coming complete with a 16-to-10-pin Eurorack power cable, two black M3 x 6 mm hex screws, two black nylon washers, and a hex key, Flow 3 is available as a 6 HP module — measuring 128.5 mm (H) x 30 mm (W) x 52 mm (D) with a +12 V: 45 mA/-12 V: 45 mA maximum current draw, reverse polarity (MOSFET) power protection, 100 kΩ impedance inputs and 0 Ω (compensated) impedance outputs — through Joranalogue Audio Design’s growing global network of authorised dealers at a MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of €215.00 EUR or $225.00 USD.

Echon6 Samples and a FREE Auto Sample Tool for Decent Sampler

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Point a MIDI cable at your synth, walk away, and come back to a finished Decent Sampler instrument. I've built a tool that does exactly that — and it's completely free.

The Morphor Echon6 has been on my bench for weeks now and it still sounds fabulous — that lovely organic feel I keep going on about. The whole point of this channel is to give you the experience of playing the synth yourself, so I wanted to go one better: give you the actual presets to play.

So I started auto-sampling the Echon6 on the 1010music Bento… and then remembered why sampling is such a pain. It's not the recording. It's everything after: trimming, levelling, converting, hand-building the mapping. So I spent a weekend making a tool that does the whole lot, start to finish, and now it's yours.

Runs in your browser, works on Mac and PC, comes with a full manual. You might need to install Python if your machine hasn't got it (most have). It's not a polished app with a pretty icon — you click a command file — but it works, believe me.

Honest warning: I'm not a programmer. My digital assistant did the heavy lifting. I can't offer any support on this whatsoever, because the answer will be "I haven't got a clue." It should work. Have fun with it — and do tell me what you end up sampling with it, I'd love to know.

🎹 ECHON6 SAMPLES

There's a FREE 2-preset Echon6 Decent Sampler pack to get you started, and a full 20-preset library for anyone who wants the lot — 800MB of detailed multisamples, no effects, just the raw beauty of the thing.

🎵 And stay to the end — two finished tracks from the Echon6 sessions, because the music is why we're all doing this in the first place."

Additive Synth Sound Design | 10 New Partials & Discrepancies Presets for the coming update

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"Ten new additive synth presets from the upcoming Partials & Discrepancies 1.3.2 update.

No talking in this one, just sound examples. The patches focus mainly on two new features: X-Voice FM and Velocity Position, with sounds ranging from restrained and cinematic pads to noisier textures, keyboard sounds, and a more percussive patch.

X-Voice FM lets each synth voice FM-modulate the next voice in a circular chain. It can use either the previous voice’s filtered signal or oscillator output as the modulation source, and the FM amount is stored independently in every oscillator slot.

That means the amount of FM can move and slew together with the rest of the patch.

Velocity Position lets note velocity select the position, or an interpolated position, between the active oscillator slots.

So playing dynamics can change much more than volume. Depending on the patch, velocity can move between different partial structures, harmonic relationships, X-Voice FM amounts, or combinations of all three.

The result can be quite expressive with surprisingly little movement from the player.

The update also adds Live View, which follows an active voice in the waveform editor and shows its slewed node geometry, partial settings, and slot position in real time.

There are also new waveform-editing shortcuts, multi-step undo/redo, slot copy/paste keyboard shortcuts, and a fairly substantial round of interface-performance and stability work. (But more on that on the website when the release is here)

Partials & Discrepancies 1.3.2 is expected to be available on September 1, 2026."
