He Got a 1974 Moog Minimoog Model D — And It's a Beast
video upload by Nostalgic Explorer
"This one is personal. I got my hands on a 1974 Moog Minimoog Model D — one of the most iconic synthesizers ever built — and I couldn't wait to share it with you. In this video I do an informal walkthrough of its sounds, explore its capabilities, and close with a live performance using the Elektron Digitakt. No script, no plan, just me and a 50-year-old beast of a synth.
🎹 GEAR IN THIS VIDEO
▸ Moog Minimoog Model D (1974 vintage)
▸ Elektron Digitakt
📀 ABOUT THE SYNTH
Moog Minimoog Model D
Manufactured: 1970–1981
The synthesizer that defined analog sound."

Sequential Fourm | Ambient synth performance
video upload by Jay Hosking
"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware, with the Fourm at the centre.
The amazing Devin Belanger (@devinbelangermusic) aka Miles Away (@thisismilesaway) was kind enough to lend me his Sequential Fourm. Thank you, Devin! If you haven't checked out Devin's amazing channel or his music, please do so!
The Fourm is Sequential's entry-level analog polysynth, as far as I can tell. It has four voices, which is somewhat limited but OK for many circumstances, and sounds (to my ears) as good or better than any other Sequential synth I've personally owned. (Note: I haven't had a Prophet 5/10 and Devin swears by that thing.) So if the sound and a decent workflow are all that matters for you, and four voices is enough, then this thing is a no-brainer.
That said, its main feature is its poly-aftertouch keybed, which allows for you to modulate sounds by pressing into each of the keys. I love polyAT, and the Hydrasynth's polyAT keybed was tremendously inspiring to me. That said, I really struggled to get the polyAT to feel right for my playing. The biggest issue was a discrepancy between how the black keys responded versus the white keys. For the white keys, I could get a great linear aftertouch response, but with the black keys, it would often quickly ramp from 0 to 100 in a way I couldn't control. This could be something I get better at, or maybe it's this particular unit, or maybe it's just an issue with my skills. But ultimately, I found that the polyAT wasn't for me.
The sound, however, most certainly was. This thing sounds amazing. Here, I ran it through the Walrus M1 Mk2 (for auto-panning) and the Empress Reverb (for reverb), and then into the Soma Cosmos for looping. The first half was the more traditional "song" aspect, but truthfully, the second half wandering was my favourite. I could listen to a synth like this all day.
Thanks for listening.
Recorded live to a stereo output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

B67 ZEN-FM Synthesis - Editor-Librarian 2.0
video uploads by Benedetto Schiavone
Follow-up to New 3rd Party Hidden Sysex Based ZEN-Core Editor-librarian for MC-101 and MC-707
Playlist:
1. B67 ZEN-FM Synthesis - Editor-Librarian 2.0 - ZEN-Core Tone collection 3 (2026)
2. Benis67 - ZEN-Core Tone Collection 3 (2026) - Demo Sounds
3. B67 ZEN-Core editor librarian V.2 - Video manual
Press release follows:
"B67 ZEN FM" synthesis engine (4 operators with linear FM + 4 wave shapes) for all Roland instruments that support the ZEN-Core standard: new editor and sound collection.
The new ZEN-Core Editor Librarian V2.0 (PC and MAC) is now available for Roland synthesizers from the Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X/Xm.
Among many new features, it allows editing of a new synthesis engine, fully compatible with the ZEN-Core standard, which uses linear FM synthesis (4 operators) and 4 modulable operator waveshapes
The "B67 ZEN FM" synthesis engine is achieved through a special implementation of a ZEN-Core tone that allows access to only a limited number of synthesis parameters, leaving the others predefined and inaccessible (e.g., Structure 1-2/3-4 = XMOD2, Osc Type = VA).
Specifically, the modulation matrix is "locked" with predefined Source and Destination parameters to ensure correct modulations that operate on the main FM synthesis parameters.
Real-time editing is performed on a new page containing all the synthesis parameters, the operator frequencies settable via the freq. ratio parameter (0.25, 0.5, 0.78, 1, 1.5, 1.57, 1.78, 2, 3, 3.5, 4.5, etc.), the waveforms (SIN, SIN2, TRI, TRI2, TRI3, SAW, SQR, RAMP, JUNO), the graphic display of the 8 envelopes (4 for FM and 4 for shapes), a dedicated librarian (2048 sounds), 20 tone presets, 8 ENV presets, a clipboard, and the ability to copy and paste synthesis parameters.
Each sound is associated with one of the 93 MFX multi-effects, which can be edited in the dedicated section.
By applying waveshaping to the 4 operators' waveforms (via the FAT and PW parameters) and modulating them with 4 dedicated ENVs, the synthesis engine can replicate the phase distortion (PD) synthesis famous in Casio CZ synths.
When using sine wave oscillators and modulating their PW with the dedicated ADSR ENVs, the overall synthesis structure becomes similar to that of an 8-operator FM algorithm, as shown in the image: 4 operators (1, 2, 3, and 4) can have their frequencies freely configured, while the other 4 modulate the corresponding carriers and modulators with a 1:1 ratio.
Polyphony is 22 voices for all synthesizers, pianos, keyboards, wind instruments, guitar synths, and virtual instruments compatible with the ZEN-Core standard. This is reduced to 11 voices for the MC-101, MC-707, and VERSELAB MV-1 grooveboxes.
Simplified graphical editing of all parameters, sound management via the librarian, and parameter recall for subsequent editing is only possible with the ZEN-Core Editor Librarian V2.0.
The new B67 ZEN-Core Collection 3 (197 ZEN-Core tones in total) is also available, including 112 tones created with the "B67 ZEN-FM" synthesis engine.
Thanks to full compatibility with the ZEN-Core standard, these sounds can be used on all compatible instruments and virtual instruments: Zenology Pro, Zenbeats (ZC-1), FP-E50, RD-88, RD-08, Juno-D, Juno-X, V-Stage, MC-101, MC-707, Verselab MV-1, GM-800, Aerophone AE-20 Pro AE-30, GO:KEYS 5, GO:KEYS 3.
Along with the collection, the sounds with the B67 ZEN-FM synthesis engine also come with a proprietary file format that can be edited and managed within the Editor/Librarian V2.0 section, available for Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X/Xm.
Among the various sounds in the collection, created with this synthesis, are emulations of some "classic" Yamaha DX7 sounds (Marimba, Vibe, Celesta, Bakket, Jazz Guitar, Tubular Bell, EPiano, Bowed Strings, Brass, Synth Bass, Metal, etc.) and original sounds that use FM and Wave Shape synthesis for new sounds with complex and evolving harmonic spectra.
The upgrade to version 2.0 of the ZEN-Core Editor Librarian for Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X is free (it can be found in the Gumroad repository or through the paywall of those who purchased it).
Collection 3 (197 ZEN-Core tones, including 112 created with the B67 ZEN-FM synthesis engine) is available individually, in the "best of" version, and bundled with other collections and editors.

"It all works, all sliders, jacks, keys etc and sounds amazingly wicked. BUT there are a couple of sliders that have sputtered signal when moved at some point along the throw of the fader / knob… that said all sounds good without sputtered noise when set and left. This is pretty typical of a synth this age. Could use a detailed pot / slider cleaning / deoxit.
Also, while the keys trigger.. they could also benefit from a detailed contact cleaning. Again, this is a VERY common thing with roland synths of this era as we've had several SH5, SH3, SH7's etc… all had that issue. When we triggered this synth via external CV it played, responded and handled perfectly via another keyboard. BUT the keys do work."

2. Cherry Audio | Soniq Odysseys for ESQ-1 Synthesizer
3. Cherry Audio | Introduction to ESQ-1 Synthesizer with Tim Shoebridge "Ensoniq ESQ-1 by Cherry Audio is a landmark virtual synthesizer that captures the essence and iconic sounds of the classic ESQ-1 polyphonic hybrid digital/analog synthesizer, perfectly timed for celebration of its 40th anniversary.
https://cherryaudio.com/products/esq-...
This plug-in features the original 32 waveforms, allowing it to faithfully recreate the complex, evolving, and richly textured sounds of the 1986 ESQ-1 in software form. Additionally, it comes with advanced features designed for today's musicians and producers. Its elegant design incorporates extensive modulation options, rhythmic pattern generation, and enhanced performance capabilities through polyphonic aftertouch and MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE). Ensoniq ESQ-1 also features a library of nearly 400 exceptional presets, including the original factory presets from the hardware, highlighting the best of both classic and all-new sounds.
In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Cherry Audio partnered with Creative Technology, the current owner of the Ensoniq intellectual property, to obtain official licensing for the original 32 ESQ-1 waveforms for this release. Equally important, we meticulously emulated the sonic signature and behavior of the original hardware's legendary analog filters provided by the renowned CEM 3379 IC. We also precisely recreated its four DCAs, four independent multistage envelopes, three LFOs, amplitude modulation, oscillator sync, and expanded its modulation system. Its accuracy is such that the ESQ-1 software supports drag-and-drop import of individual patches and patch banks from ESQ-1 SysEx files, or directly via MIDI from the hardware. Additionally, the software can export SysEx patch files that are compatible with the original hardware."

Morphor ECHON 6 #5 | Winterdagen
video upload by Winterdagen
"Time for a new one on on the beautiful ECHON 6! I got some questions on if ECHON 6 can do 'regular' synth sounds as well, it sure can:)
One of the many cool things about ECHON 6 is that its exciter section on its own is already a very nice sounding single oscillator poly synth, with morphable waveforms on its fat sounding oscillators. And you can use all of ECHON's extensive modulation capabilities for sound design as well. The only thing missing would be filter resonance, but to be honest I'm usually not a big fan of filter resonance anyway.
The real fun naturally starts when you start combining the exciter's synth voice with the resonator section, which is exactly what I did here. In this case the resonator ads a bit of a chewy sound, which I really like."

ASM Leviasynth: The Most Ambitious Synth of 2026?
video upload by Starsky Carr
"So much more than a DX7 on steroids. In this hands-on walkthrough I program the Leviasynth from scratch to show what Ashun Sound Machines' 16-voice hybrid synth (the long-awaited Hydrasynth successor) can really do: 8 oscillators per voice, 144 algorithms, 7 modulation types, I even demo wavetable-style tones, deep DHDSR envelopes and that gorgeous new analog filter.
I'll show you how it sounds, how it's built and exactly how to start programming it — from a classic Prophet-5 patch to dirty FM basses, glassy vintage-digital pads and modular-style generative patches. By the end you'll understand the workflow and whether the Leviasynth deserves a place at the centre of your studio.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
🎹 ABOUT THE LEVIASYNTH
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The ASM Leviasynth is a 16-voice, 8-oscillator algorithmic hybrid synthesizer from Ashun Sound Machines — the team behind the Hydrasynth. It pairs an advanced digital engine (144 algorithms, 7 synthesis types, 300+ waveforms, FM, phase distortion, phase modulation, pulse-width modulation and sync) with a brand-new pure analog 4-pole resonant filter featuring custom pre-drive saturation. Add 13 envelopes, 5 LFOs, a deep mod matrix, a 3-track sequencer, arpeggiator, Polytouch polyphonic-aftertouch keybed and ribbon controller, and you have one of the most powerful synths released in years. Available in keyboard and desktop versions."

"Behringer JT-2: My 2 Cents
With all the available 'heavily-inspired-but-not-clones' from Behringer, I’m starting to wonder when the company will introduce original synths again. Anyhow... This time, I’m taking a closer look at the Behringer JT-2, a paraphonic synth inspired by Roland’s Jupiter-8. It comes in similar colours but certainly doesn’t carry over the visual aesthetics of the '80s flagship synth. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as Behringer can keep costs down by using one chassis for a plethora of different models. At a budget-friendly price point, you get a lot of synth in a unit that doesn’t take up too much valuable studio real estate, either. But first things first...

"Enjoying the brash and meaty sounds of the Kaleidoscope synth designed by Vadim Minkin. This digital synth is programmed by navigating through settings using the top 8 touch plates while the bottom four touch plates can trigger the different voices as well as decoupled envelopes and modulation.
On a purely visual level it looks like a piece of equipment that could have come from Tarkovsky's Solaris or inspired by a Stanislas Lem novel."

BUCHLA 36 (Brutal dark IDM modular synth performance)
video upload by Kevin Rix
"Delve into the dark weirdness of the Buchla 200e. Easily the most interesting instrument I own. It challenges the user to explore new ways to express music and sound. The drums are created by self resonating the 291e triple filter module. Over the summer I explored more complex patching. All the random stereo ripping sounds are from a cross modded 258 classic into the bottom section of the 296 classic. The first batch created a fm like noise when opening the wide knob. Buchla USA recalled the first batch for a cleaner circuit, but I decided to keep it:) I'll be releasing many of these explorations over the next few months.
I'm planning to upload on a regular basis. This world we live in is becoming increasingly more complicated and is about to see a huge shift with the arrival of AI. I want this channel to showcase raw performances and celebrate the human aspect of art and music.
This is an anti-AI channel. Everything is composed and performed by me with no editing. Just raw performances created in the moment. My musical interests take my into strange and unpredictable areas. At the core, I'm a composer of epic cinematic music. Fortunately, it's what I do for work. The music on this channel represents the other curiosities I have with music and sound. AI just spits out sound a likes and has no real soul. I'm not trying to appeal to those who prefer AI playlists. In my opinion, those people are not true fans of music and art. AI isn't affected by culture, community and what's happening in the world, so it can never make a true artistic statement. "
Alesis NanoSynth - Rare Prototype Demo
video upload by John L Rice
"I thought I would document this prototype example of an Alesis NanoSynth I bought on eBay long ago, before I sell it. I didn't take the time to verify if the sounds are all the same as a production model or not, but I suspect there may be some differences? One thing not working as far as I can tell is the built in factory demo that all production versions of Alesis Nano synthesizers have. And yeah, that's not me talking, I wanted to learn how to use the AI text to voice feature in DaVinci Resolve. (sorry not sorry! 😁)

Alesis NanoTracker Demo
video upload by John L Rice
"This is a very brief demo of most of what I know how to do with the NanoTracker MIDI recorder. This is just for historical purposes and for when I put it up for sale on Reverb. ;-)"
Alesis NanoBass - Factory Demo
video upload by John L Rice
"I made this quick video for an Alesis NanoBass synth module that I'm going to be selling and decided to make it public just in case anyone is interested. I think all of the Alesis Nano synths are fantastic and very underrated and underestimated. I own a NanoPiano, NanoSynth, and two NanoBass units (that's why I am selling this one)"
