Sting – Russians | Vintage Synth Cover with Moog Taurus bass pedal
video upload by RetroSound
"A vintage synth reinterpretation of Sting’s “Russians”, originally released in 1985 on his debut solo album The Dream of the Blue Turtles.
Please use headphones or a subwoofer for the full audio range.
For this cover, I wanted to capture the atmosphere of the original while giving the track a distinctly analog, vintage synthesizer character.
The bass foundation was created with the legendary Moog Taurus bass pedal synthesizer, known for its massive, deep and powerful low-end sound. The Taurus has become one of the most iconic bass synthesizers of the 1970s and is especially famous for its thunderous sub-bass character.
All additional sounds, sampled elements, drums, percussion, effects and sound-design elements in this version come from the E-mu Emulator II. Released in 1984, the Emulator II became one of the defining samplers of the 1980s, combining early digital sampling technology with analog sound-shaping circuitry. Its unmistakable 8-bit character gives this version a deliberately authentic vintage texture.
'Russians' itself was written by Sting during the Cold War and became known for its powerful anti-war and peace message.
The goal of this cover was to combine two very different worlds of vintage electronic music:
1970s analog synthesis + 1980s digital sampling
The massive analog low end of the Moog Taurus meets the gritty, unmistakable character of the E-mu Emulator II to create a new interpretation of Sting’s 'Russians'.
If you are interested in vintage synthesizers, analog bass synthesizers, E-mu samplers, 1980s electronic music, synth covers and classic studio gear, you will hopefully enjoy this version.
Thanks for listening!
🎛️ Main bass: Moog Taurus Bass Pedal Synthesizer (1976)
🎹 String and Lead sounds & samples: E-mu Emulator II Sampling Synthesizer (1984)
🥁 Drums / percussion / FX: E-mu Emulator II
This is a cover/reinterpretation created as a tribute to the original composition and its timeless message."

Seinfeld Bass Battle
video upload by General Midi Guy ⚡
George is the only one that looks like himself, ableit with a mustache. Wouldn't mind hearing a New Order/Joy Division Bass Battle.
"Is the Seinfeld theme played by a Korg M1 or by the 360 Systems Midi Bass, lets find out :p both have been credited Seinfeld Bass on various Internet forums.
This test is not 100% as i dont have the same mixer, fx etc 🛸
https://www.vice.com/en/article/689n7...
https://www.rhythmicrobot.com/product..."
"Remember Seinfeld? Remember that poppin’ slap bass sound all over the show – in the titles, in the end credits, in every sting and transition? Well, this is the little box of tricks that made that sound. The 360 Systems MIDI Bass was an early sampled bass unit, later upgraded to a Pro version that rackmounted. It was a limited but (for its time) powerful-sounding machine that had swappable EPROMS to access additional sounds. We managed to score an original tabletop MIDI Bass plus a set of EPROMS covering a range of both classic and unusual sounds with a distinctly 80s vibe. There is, of course, ‘that’ Seinfeld Slap bass; but if you don’t fancy reliving the glory days of American comedy, there are seven other sounds to choose from – a great Fender Jazz bass, through a punchy 80s synth bass to a rather cool Stick bass (think Tony Levin playing Peter Gabriel’s live gigs and you’ve got it)… and more.
MIDI Bass hardware Kontakt instrumentThe MIDI Bass is a simple little device – MIDI notes go in, bass sounds come out – so we’ve kept things simple for our recreation, which just adds some useful compression and tube saturation controls and leaves the rest up to you and your funk."

Did Moog ruin synths? Suzanne Ciani reveals analog's original sin.
video upload by SpectreVision Radio and Phantom Power Podcast
"Today we talk to modular synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani and MIT Spatial Sound Lab researcher Kamran V. Suzanne and Kamran both love quadraphonic sound, and they have a new quad release coming out on June 4th called Ciani/Orkest. They are on a mission to make quadraphonic music accessible to both musicians and to listeners, and in this interview, Kamran will explain how, you, with no special equipment, can listen to their new album in quad.
We'll also get into how analog synthesizers actually work, the early history of Buchla synths versus Moog synths, why Suzanne thinks keyboards diminish the potential of synths, and how Suzanne designed some of the most recognizable sounds of the 1980s.
Suzanne Ciani is a Grammy Award nominated composer, electronic musician, and neoclassical recording artist who has released over 20 solo albums, including Seven Waves and The Velocity of Love. Her work has been featured in Hollywood films, video games, and countless commercials. She was inducted into the first class of keyboard magazine's Hall of Fame, alongside Bob Moog, Don Buchla, and Dave Smith. And she was the subject of the feature documentary, A Life in Waves.
Kamran V is an arts technologist and MIT Spatial Sound Lab researcher, and he's a National Endowment for the Arts grant recipient. He's worked at Interscope Records, produced immersive music releases for Nine Inch Nails, Sting, and Beck, and he ran the music tech fest, Moogfest. He's also on the board of Dub Lab.

Spectravox and DFAM | Advanced Physical Modeling
video upload by Moog Music
"In this video we explore the principles of physical modeling synthesis using DFAM and Spectravox.
We begin with a summary of physical modeling synthesis. Physical modeling models an excitation signal (the isolated sound of a finger hitting a drum head, a pick plucking a guitar sting, a bow bowing a cello string) and a resonating body (a drum, a wooden block, a string coupled with a wooden body, etc.). Excitation signals are usually very short sounds full of harmonics and noise – we use DFAM to sculpt a broadband signal with lots of internal dynamics using DFAM’s three envelopes. Spectravox’s ten resonant filters with individual level control are then used to model a resonating body. DFAM’s velocity sequencer further allows us to create a sequence with harder or softer drum hits, while its pitch sequencer can move Spectravox’s filters via the SHIFT input for fascinating tonal changes."
Labyrinth and Subharmonicon | Tangled Transpositions
video upload by Moog Music
"In this video we tie Labyrinth and Subharmonicon’s sequencers together for tangled transpositional movement.
We begin by mixing the VCA outputs of each instrument using Labyrinth’s utility mixer. We then show how to quantize Subharmonicon’s two sequencers to generate sequences of octaves and then add those sequences to Labyrinth’s two sequencers to generate polyrhythmic octave transpositions. Labyrinth’s voice is sequenced by Labyrinth SEQ 1 and transposed by Subharmonicon SEQ 2 while Subharmonicon’s voice is sequenced by Labyrinth SEQ 2 and transposed by Subharmoncon SEQ 1. With Labyrinth’s quantizer set to Hirajoshi pentatonic scaling octave transpositions from Subharmonicon work well regardless of western tonality. Using more traditional western scales from Labyrinth we can set the steps of Subharmonicon to values other than octaves (e.g. perfect fourths/fifths) provided we stay in key."

Misadventures | A DSI Prophet 12 and Fractal Audio FM3 ambient soundscape
video upload by MIDERA
"Yesterday my wife lost her job. I guess it surprised neither of us, although that didn't make it any less painful. Going through our list of things we need to cancel and stop, like daycare for our three year old. On the week of our wedding anniversary too, it just added that extra little sting.
She's always come back with something better, but I guess you sit and wonder whether this time there will be something, with all the job cuts in what feels like every sector, so many will be doing the same thing, in a time when the competitiveness was already overwhelming. I guess for now we just wait and hope. Wait and hope.

Moog Labyrinth 50 Modular Patches & Sequences + WAV Samples
video upload by Anton Anru
"'Circuit Maze' is a collection of 50 patches for the semi-modular synth Moog Labyrinth. Dedicated to the modular spirit, the bank of presets embraces the analog warmth, experimental mindset, and rich sonic possibilities provided by Moog Labyrinth—an instrument that challenges traditional sequencing, offering fresh ways to shape sound and inspire creativity.
🎛 While crafting this soundset, I wanted to fully explore Labyrinth's capabilities, dive deep into its unconventional workflow, and have fun with its distinctive sequencing approach, which is unavailable on other synths. The result is a collection of 50 patches designed to inject unique and evolving patterns into any track or performance.
Each preset—or fragments of it—can function as bass, percussion, melody/lead, pluck, or FX, making this collection highly versatile.
📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/laby...
💽 The presets explore a wide spectrum of tones, from warm, clean, soft, and deep to noisy, metallic, distorted, punchy, and bright. Some sounds are bold enough to take center stage, while others work best as supporting elements, adding texture and movement to your compositions.
You can use the patches as they are, but I strongly encourage real-time tweaking, allowing you to shape and evolve the timbres throughout your performance for a dynamic and immersive experience.

Behringer Model 15: 50 Experimental Patches. No Talking Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"Welcome to the soundset for the semi-modular synthesizer Behringer Model 15. "Explorer" is a collection of 50 experimental yet usable patches: 12 Leads, 10 Basses, 9 Plucks, 10 Arps, 6 Drones, and 3 Chords.
💾 This soundset offers aggressive, bright, detuned, freaky, noisy, atonal, metallic, generative, evolving, and rhythmic timbres. It stands in contrast to my previous release, "Analog Classics," where I focused on more regular, basic, and classical timbres.
In the "Explorer" bank of presets, I aimed to dive deeper into the modular nature of the Model 15, pushing its boundaries to achieve the most interesting and exciting results.
📦 Get this soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/behr...
🎨 Some timbres are designed to take the lead in a track or jam session, while others work perfectly as complementary elements. While the patches are ready to use as they are, I highly recommend tweaking the knobs during your performance to further develop the sound and enhance your creative experience.
🥁 These presets are versatile and suitable for a wide range of genres, including ambient, electronica, IDM, deep techno, house, progressive, trance, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, cinematic, breaks, synthwave, retrowave, dub, and more.
📚 The soundset is provided as a PDF document, with each page containing detailed notes that explain how each patch works, which parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to evolve the timbre during a performance. By following these notes and making adjustments consciously, you’ll not only get the most out of the patches but also gain a deeper understanding of the synth itself, uncovering its full potential and creative depth.
🎧 Each patch comes with an audio example to help you understand how the timbre is intended to sound, making it easier to integrate into your productions.
To recreate these patches, you will need up to 8 patch cables.
💡 I added pads and drum loops for the video demo to place the presets in a musical context.
These drums and pads are not included in the soundset. I added third-party delay and reverb to the video demo."

One of my favorite tracks from the 80s.
Money For Nothing by the Dire Straits from the album Brothers In Arms (1985)
Written by Mark Knopfler and Sting
The video for the song was the first to be broadcast by the music channel MTV Europe 1987.
Features the Yamaha DX7 II FM synthesizer and the E-MU Emulator II sampling synthesizer
This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

Machinedrum X Digitone | Sci Fi Beats

"Back in the studio working on a few sonic sketches for a sci fi animated action sequence, i figured I would share with yall."
Machinedrum X Digitone Memories Are Portals
video upload by VoltageCtrlRtv
"Back to the sonic experiments with the Machinedrum and Digitone today.
The Machinedrum is my demolition crew. I crank the compressor, sculpting earth-shaking kicks and snare cracks that sting. Decay knobs become my paintbrush, leaving trails of haunting ghost notes. It's a percussive warzone, raw samples transformed into heavy artillery. Then I switch gears, the Digitone becoming my sonic architect. I twist its metallic heart, coaxing out FM tones that shimmer and bite. Arpeggios become rhythmic companions, each note a brick building a driving bassline. Together, they're a brutal fusion... the Machinedrum's raw power intertwined with the Digitone's laser-sharp melodies. It's a sonic assault, a dance between chaos and precision.
I included a .wav file from the Machinedrum for the
/ voltagectrlr subscribers to sample.
I'm working on a new sound pack with Machinedrum one shots and loops that will be available soon. http://audibleobjects.com"

Epic Prophet X Sample Bank Out Now
video upload by Espen Kraft
"A new patch bank for the Prophet X. Hundreds of samples from over 20 different classic vintage synths. Multi-samples, Velocity layered samples, one-shots and stretched (for authenticity).
The samples and patches I've created is originally meant for MY Prophet X, for my live needs. A way of having all my vintage synths in one keyboard when doing live gigs doing MY own songs as faithful as possible to my albums.
It means that all of these sounds are "ready to go" production pop synth sounds. If you're looking for experimental synth sounds or spiky industrial sounds etc, you won't find that here. I never set out to do that. Nor will I. Every sample in here has been recorded by me personally and sounds exactly how I want them to sound.
Many of the samples are velocity layered multi samples, some upwards of 30-50 samples per sound, while other sounds are just ONE sample, stretched over the entire keyboard. It all depends on how I want the sound to sound. 80s samplers always stretched the samples which gives it a characteristic sound and sometimes I want THAT sound to come through.
If you want to purchase this bank, please send me an email and I'll give you the download details.
The pack is about 1.5Gb in size.
My CONTACT email address is this: espenkraft69@gmail.com
Price is $35 USD. This price is a steal. PayPal only. * The above email is NOT the one to use for payment. That will be given upon ordering.
Included in the download is an instruction on how to install this bank, but I do assume you already know this if you have a Prophet X.
I will take no responsibility if you've accidentally deleted or erased any user samples on your own PX (that you had on from before) after installing my pack.
I will not engage in any "one to one" tutorial sessions on how to install the pack after purchase.
If you have a PX, you should know how to operate it. If not then this pack is not for you.
The installation, import and patch bank transfer has been tested out, and verified to work, by another PX user and owner.
If you want the pool of samples for another platform, I might be able to convert it for you. Send me an email and we'll see.
