True Trance Sounds V3 for Arturia JUP-8000 V (Preset Overview)

video upload by NatLife Sounds

"Buy Here: https://natlifesounds.com/product/tru...

Hey! I’m excited to share True Trance Sounds V3 for Arturia JUP-8000 V.

This pack is my personal take on Trance and Rave — from the raw 90s AAH/Trance-Gate sounds to the Uplifting vibes of the early 2000s.

It includes 64 Presets and 10 MIDI sequences, spread across 10 Uplifting Basslines.

Inside, you’ll find:

Driving Basslines
Dreamy Pads
Shiny Plucks
Expressive Synths
Some unusual modulation tricks I added for fun

In this library, I focused more on the atmosphere of the 90s and 2000s rather than super saws (you’ll find plenty of those in the previous series). Here, it’s about beautiful Plucks that smoothly build into the powerfull Leads that instantly add energy to your track — and of course, the spirit of that era.

I made this library to bring back the energy of those golden Trance years. No sterile “perfect” sounds — just the real vibes that got us all hooked.

TIMELINE:
00:00 NatLife - Bring me Back to my Childhood
01:03 Shiller - I Feel You
02:02 Georg Hales - Terminated (Terminator theme by NatLife)
03:39 NatLife - ID
04:09 ATB - Ecstasy
05:07 Kobee - Endless Thoughts

AudCalc, Zeptocore, Phantasmal Force, GREAT CONJUNCTION Micro Synth Coordination

video upload by Arman Bohn

"Let's get these little NOT-calculator devices together and see what happens!

The Phantasmal Force is just providing MIDI clock - which I'm feeding into the Zeptocore, GREAT CONJUNCTION and AudCalc to keep them all in sync.

The Zeptocore provides the chopped up drum breaks/loops. It can be found here: https://zeptocore.com/

GREAT CONJUNCTION adds melodic and percussive chaos.
My synths and devices can be found here:
https://distropolisgoods.com/

AudCalc is providing the underlying sequence (simple kick/snare, bass, and some melodic percussion and plucked string sounds).

I'll be posting just the AudCalc track later - for those curious about what it can do.

You can find the AudCalc here:
https://ko-fi.com/s/e4b28fd09f"

Audcalc is a pocket synthesizer and sequencer. It has 8 voices which can switch between synthesis (using mutable instruments braids cores) and sampling. The sequencer supports parameter locks, conditional triggers, and various time signatures and loop lengths. There are also two built in effects sends for building a full track. Its fun to jam with by itself, and can link into your larger portable music setup via midi or cv clock. Features: - 8 simultaneous synth or sampler voices, 16 midi outs - 16 sequencer channels - 16 patterns, supports pattern chaining for songs - channels can send to synthesizer, sampler or midi out - each voice has 2 assignable envelopes, LFO & filter - reverb & delay sends - sequencer supports midi clock sync or CV sync, both in and out - assembled by me & open source (open firmware, hardware, and enclosure)

We’ll explore:
Space – lush reverbs for breakdowns
Riser – building tension into drops
Filter – smooth sweeps & dramatic cuts
Looper – freeze, stutter & glitch effects
Delay – from subtle echoes to dub washes

Coloray performs 'Tonight' with the 3rd Wave 8M and 24M synths

video upload by Groove Synthesis

"Berlin-based electronic artist Coloray takes the new 3rd Wave 8M desktop synthesizer for a spin alongside the flagship 24M in this live performance of his original song 'Tonight.' Learn more about the 3rd Wave 8M: https://www.groovesynthesis.com

Watch as Coloray sculpts sounds in real-time using both synths controlled by Ableton Live, creating layers of wavetable textures and analog warmth without any overdubs.

The 3rd Wave 8M brings the complete synthesis engine to a compact desktop format with 8 voices, bi-timbral operation, and the same premium analog filters that define Groove’s 3rd Wave character. At $1,999, the 8M makes the distinctive 3rd Wave sound accessible to a broader range of musicians while maintaining patch compatibility with the 24-voice models.

In this performance, Coloray sequences multiple synth parts on the 24M (taking advantage of its 4-part multitimbral capabilities) while the 8M handles the driving bassline. Throughout the song, he uses the performance controls to shape filter sweeps and envelope responses, demonstrating the intuitive real-time control that makes the 3rd Wave series so expressive. The vocals feature live vocoder processing, with drums and vocal samples provided by Ableton playback tracks.

Coloray (Raynor De Groot) is the boundary-pushing electronic artist known for his genre-defying approach that draws from ambient, EBM, techno, house, and disco. His tracks have topped Beatport charts and earned support from Four Tet, Dixon, Solomun, and Pete Tong. His innovative 'Future Static' audiovisual concept and virtual reality experiences showcase his commitment to pushing creative boundaries."

Oberheim MATRIX 12 SN M51427 w/ Original Manual

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"USA Version : This Oberheim Matrix 12 has been serviced and tested by Synthesizer Expert Adrian Dolent, propriertor of Synth repair in Bedford. Adrian wrote :

"So, basically the synth is all working electronically, and does what it's meant to.

I can confirm that the editor program DOES WORK, and you can edit the synth from a PC with the program installed. I will provide a copy of the program and sound files on a USB stick or SD card "

He found the synth to be in full working order, there were 2 criticisms, there is a mark on the top next to the Oberheim name which can be seen in the pics, also 1 of the displays is a little dimmer than the other 2 as can be seen in the pictures, this seems to be common on the other Matrix 12 synths being offered for sale.

What this synth has which most of the others don't are 12 output sockets on the side of the synth for direct outputs for the 12 sounds. These were fitted by Oberheim.

It has MIDI In, MIDI Out and MIDI Thru

It comes with the original manual and an SD card containing the Matrix 12 Editor

The synth is currently in Bedford in the UK where it can be tested. Highly Recommended

The price is £13,000 including vat and free delivery in the UK.

Export price is £10,800 plus shipping

OBSO | Circle Cynths

video uploads by Circle Cynths

"The debut instrument from Circle Cynths, OBSO. A dreamlike interface delivering instant inspiration, featuring nostalgic synths, pads, basses, bells, and strings, all sampled using obsolete technology.

Learn more at: www.circlecynths.com"



"OBSO is an inspiring catalog of sounds coaxed directly from various forms of obsolete media and extant technology. We celebrate the undulating inconsistencies of bygone days, lovingly filtered through the oxide and worn machinery of VCRs, cassette-decks and other consumer products from the 80s and 90s.

Our dreamlike but intuitive interface is intended to spark instant emotion. Specifically designed to sound good no matter where the knobs are, the five visceral control circles nevertheless offer a huge depth of range within a single patch. Nostalgic synths, creamy pads, lush basses, shimmering bells, burnished brass, scintillating strings, and more glow with the patina of fine age.

Individual sounds sink into a mix like they always existed, but you'll find they can easily stand alone without the need for layering or manipulation outside of the instrument. From film and game scoring to lush pop records, these tactile soundscapes add a dose of warm nostalgia to nearly any production.

Simple Interface
Sculpt your sound with an intuitive interface that features massive depth of control, giving you endless ways to shape and refine your tone.

Presets & Tags
120 unique patches. Bells, Brass, Strings, Keys, Pads & More. Find the perfect sound for your track with our built in tag searching system."

WELSON BAND : Analog, Hexagonal and Spectacular

WELSON BAND (1976?)

There are quite a few cool machines we've managed to track down after searching for years, but very few have fallen into our laps.
But the Welson Band did just that.
We hadn't even heard of this stunningly beautiful machine at all when we bought it on a Google Alert whim - considering our obsession with auto accompaniment units - that's a rare first.

Acquired for next to nothing we managed to locate a PDF of its schematics - the only trace of this machine on the web - and swiftly failed to understand how one was supposed to control the harmonies of the accompaniments, meaning the bass, chords and arpeggiator.

The back does sport a connector, to hook up a potential bass pedal, accordion or controller keyboard to, but it's marked "Switch Board".
Remember, this was about 10 years before MIDI was invented so this machines for sure needed an external something to decide the key and harmonies.

We had our dear tech Andrea bash together a controller keyboard and it works and looks pretty well apart from being a bit crooked and not triggering all the time.

The video explains everything well so please read the text if you have any questions - in short the machine is fully analog, great drum sounds and the arpeggiator is to die for.

Instruo Pocket Scion & GREAT CONJUNCTION - It is bio reactive(?) test jam

video upload by Arman Bohn

"My synths and device can be found here: https://distropolisgoods.com/

This is my first synth/succulent video ... b-b-b-but I have a good reason!

My Pocket Scion from ‪@instruo‬ arrived toady and it is a hit! I tested it out on many things around my house and couldn't resist making a video.

The Pocket Scion has MIDI out, so you can drive other MIDI capable synths with biofeedback. In this case, I plugged it into my GREAT CONJUNCTION and the two immediately starting talking! The Pocket Scion sends both MIDI note and CC data on up to five channels/CCs and was already configured to randomize the preset voices of GREAT CONJUNCTION. :)

I layered the the sounds from the Pocket Scion and GREAT CONJUNCTION together to create another level of textures.

The web app for Pocket Scion opens up another degree of customization. Can't wait to try that out. Hope they open up the synth engines. They sound really good!

Now I just need to bring some plants to work ..."

"Here's a demo jam showing off a few things Four Seas can do. All sounds from Four Seas aside from the bass drum from Basimilus Iteritas Alia and the reverb/delay from Mimeophon. Hope you enjoy!

Patch notes:
0:00 - oppressive bass
0:20 - through-zero phase mod, courtesy of Dixie II+
0:45 - hi-hats/percussion using Wogglebug's audio out as a phase mod source
0:58 - swirling synths; two Four Seas outputs mixed into 3 Sisters, wave spread modulated via joystick
1:36 - awesome glitchy "open hats" triggered via Wogglebug's Burst output"

"Four Seas is a four-dimensional wavetable oscillator that transforms sound exploration into a tactile, intuitive experience. Navigate through sonic space using X, Y, and Z controls to explore wavetables as a three-dimensional cube, while the fourth dimension emerges through four related outputs with intelligent spread control.

From gentle detuning to complex microtonal relationships, the spread control offers multiple modes including harmonic ratios, prime numbers, and golden ratio proportions; everything from lush chords to experimental frequency relationships is at your fingertips. The four outputs cascade across wavetable space through intelligent spread algorithms, creating rich, evolving textures like light dispersing through a sonic prism.

The powerful modulation section features thru-zero phase modulation, phase distortion waveshaping, and bitwise XOR for complex sound design. Dual sync inputs with selectable modes, CV control over wavetable banks, and SD card loading for custom wavetables complete the package. Each oscillator pair can switch to LFO rates for modulation duties, and I2C compatibility enables integration with Teletype, Crow, ER-301, and other modules. No menus, no presets — just immediate, musical control over a vast sonic landscape."

Ambient | YAMAHA TQ5 FM Synth

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Raw FM textures for forward-thinking bass music producers
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

This pack captures the unmistakable character of Yamaha’s late 1980s 4-operator FM synths, with all their sharp digital edges and lo-fi charm intact. The TQ5, often hidden in the shadow of its more famous siblings, holds a unique place in synthesis history. It delivers angular, glassy tones that feel both futuristic and retro, with a sound design potential that quietly laid the groundwork for timbres now celebrated in modern club music.

Created for producers who care about texture, this collection offers bass and drum sounds with a distinct edge. Artifacts, aliasing, and resolution quirks are not just preserved but embraced, giving each sample a bite that generic VSTs rarely achieve.
