Backrooms - The Complex: Expedition | an Anomalous Dimension #backrooms

video upload by No Lake

"Another reality, an alternative dimension, a corrupted memory.

Back in 2019, an anonymous user shared a blurry, unsettling photo of a dimly lit, empty hallway with monochrome yellow wallpaper, damp carpet, and fluorescent ceiling lights. Then, another user replied with a short caption stating that if you aren't careful you will end up in the Backrooms…

'The Backrooms' is a fictional, endless maze of empty, disorienting rooms characterized by these monochrome yellow walls, damp carpet, and fluorescent lights. Anyone can accidentally leave the boundaries of normal reality and fall into this infinite dimensional space. That's where the game “The Complex: Expedition” begins. That’s where the nightmare begins. That’s where my music enters the scene.

Sequential Fourm - He bought the Sequential Fourm, for the wrong reasons, and you may want to too!


video upload by kgbirmingham media

Don't miss the videos below. Also see Sequential Fourm - The Non Prophet Presets by kgbirmingham media.

"I traded in my Roland MC-707 for a Sequential Fourm. And, I did it for all the wrong reasons!
This video is different than my usual music videos. I needed a synth that was simple to use, could be a Polyphonic Aftertouch Controller for my ASM Hydrasynth and horror of all horror had MiniKeys.
So, this is why I bought the Sequential Fourm and why you may want to too!
Enjoy!
For the Techies
There’s not much to say about the tech. I recorded the narration directly into a Zoom R4 and transferred it to my DAW - Fender Studio Pro 8.
The background music is five tracks all created on the Sequential Fourm using Factory Presets.
The signal chain is fairly straightforward: MC-707, into a pair of SSL SixChannels, into a Drawmer MQ-2 EQ/Compressor/Saturator, into a Lindell 77X Compressor and into an Allen&Heath ZEDi10 Interface/Mixer.
Processing was limited to Waves L1 Limiter, Beyerdynamic Headphone Lab and UADx Manley Variable Mu Compressor. No Reverb. No Delay. Do Effects at All.
Everything was recorded through an Allen&Heath ZEDi10 and into Fender Studio Pro 8.
Video:
Fujifilm X-T3 camera with Fujifilm 10-24mm lens and an iPhone SE and iPhone 17.
The final video was edited in DaVinci Resolve.

"Sequential Fourm – For All The Wrong Reasons – The Song!
When I shot my Sequential Fourm video 'For All The Wrong Reasons' I created a background music track using only the Sequential Fourm for that video.
It is short, but I like it, so I put it together with some video on a misty day from Marie Curtis Park.

Sequential Fourm Creating Chaos

video upload by kgbirmingham media

"Sequential Fourm – Creating Chaos
This is a 'Making Of' type video. I just recently purchased a Sequential Fourm and I wanted to create a 'Song' using only Fourm Presets. So, I created six tracks, using six Fourm Presets. I ran the Fourm through a TC Electronic Plethora (Chorus, Delay, Reverb) and played around with the Filter, Noise, ARP and Amp Envelope.
I put “Song” into quotes, because it is rather cacophonous. Anyway, I like the variations of tone, structure and noises!
Enjoy!

VAV N-Wave: Middle-Out Waveshaper


video upload by Magical Synth Adventure

"Join me as I take the @control_voltage VAV N-Wave Middle-Out Waveshaper for a spin!

The N-Wave is a really imaginative waveshaper. Some waveshapers might fold over the peaks of an incoming waveform, some might rectify them - squaring things off like a fuzz pedal. N-wave keeps the peaks of waveform - like the top and bottom of a saw wave - intact, and instead lets you shape and turn up on the volume on a section in the middle of the waveform - leading to unique tones. This is especially true, as you can vary the width of this middle section!"

video uploads by control_voltage

Playlist:

1. VAV N-Wave: Step Sequenced Threshold
One fun live performance (or studio) use for the N-Wave is to connect a Step Sequencer on the Threshold CV and generate different timbres for each step in a sequence. These act as accents and add a lot of life and feel to your sequences and the feel can easily be changed on the fly using something like a Joranalogue Step 8 as your source of steps.
2. VAV N-Wave: Threshold Ring Modulation
In Part 2 of the VAV N-Wave Video Manual, we look at using the threshold control and bipolar vca cv to create new waveforms that have a mixture of normal and ring modulated (quadrature) segments.
3. VAV N-Wave Mangles a Triangle
Here, the N-Wave does quite a number on an unsuspecting triangle wave with the help of some nearby modules. N-Wave is kind of like that one kid's house where everyone hung out and cooked up weird DnD campaigns or something. But for modular signals.



"N-Wave is a novel waveshaper for the Eurorack modular format. Unlike traditional wavefolders and clippers, which operate on the peaks of a waveform, N-Wave leaves peaks intact. All you need to expand your sound palette greatly is a VCO signal and a few twists of the knobs!

Using its internal bipolar VCA (aka four quadrant multiplier, aaka ring modulator) you can apply gain reduction and polarity inversion to an inner portion of the wave slope that you define with the THRESHOLD and OFFSET controls.

All functions can also be controlled via control voltage inputs. LFOs, Audio Rate VCOs, ADSR Envelopes, 1V/Oct signals, sequenced voltages, sample and hold signals, noise, and sub octave signals are all very good choices and can produce results ranging from very musical to very strange. An external detector signal can also be applied if you don't want to trigger the detector on the waveform you're modifying.

If you like, you can also use N-Wave as a high quality bipolar VCA, attenuverter, or ring modulator with the THRESHOLD set to maximum and dynamically mute the effect by applying 0V or a negative voltage to the threshold either using a sequencer or manual control, which allows for hocketing and rhythmic effects.

N-Wave can also operate all the way down to 0hz (DC), so, in addition to audio, it can process LFOs, envelopes, 1V/octave sequences, and any other signal that varies amplitude over time (Sorry, square waves and pulse waves. Your super-sonic rise times are hard to shape in an audible way, but you do work well as control signals).

N-Wave is 10HP and uses Burr Brown op amps for the primary signal path alongside high quality Texas Instruments ICs that are carefully chosen to best fit their roles in the circuit."

MAME Synths as Plugins?! Vintage Emulator Studio is Here


video upload by Autodafe

"Vintage Emulator Studio (VES) is finally here!

Download VES here:
https://www.autodafe.net/vintage-emul...

VES started from my experiments with the synthesizers, sound modules, samplers and drum machines emulated by MAME. Over time, after several videos, tests and even A/B comparisons with original hardware, I started wondering: what if these machines could be used in a more musician-friendly environment — and even loaded directly inside a DAW?

That idea eventually became Vintage Emulator Studio.

VES brings together a curated selection of MAME-emulated musical instruments in a single application, available as Standalone, AU and VST3 for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux.

You can download VES for free from my website. As with all my free plugins and sample libraries, there is also an optional €5 Supporter version if you'd like to support my work and future development.

VES is also open source, and the GitHub source code is linked from the product page.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: ROMs are required and are NOT included with VES.
I do not distribute MAME ROMs, so please don't ask me to send them. You will need to provide your own ROM sets. The good news is that MAME ROMs are generally not particularly difficult to find compared with those for some other emulation platforms.

Also keep in mind that VES relies on MAME emulation. Not every supported machine is emulated to exactly the same level of completeness, so some quirks or limitations may come from the current state of MAME itself.

P.S. You may occasionally hear a few small audio drops during this video. My computer wasn't always particularly happy about running multiple emulated machines while recording the screen and audio at the same time — so those glitches are mostly from the recording setup rather than VES itself. 🙂"

Sequential Fourm - The Non Prophet Presets


video upload by kgbirmingham media

"Sequential Fourm – The Non-Prophet Presets
I almost didn’t buy the Fourm, because most of the demos I watched focused on the “Prophet Sound,” which is great, but I was hoping for more versatility then that.
When I got it home and went through all the Factory Presets, I soon discovered that it is a very versatile synth with lots of character and it is quite capable of producing Non-Prophet Sounds!
So, the following are a whole bunch of Non-Prophet sounds, with a few classics put in, just because.
I did not apply any effects and the only plug-in I used was a Limiter.
Enjoy!
For the Techies
Here is the list of Presets.

STUDIO ELECTRONICS OBIE RACK

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


via this Reverb listing

"The Studio Electronics Obie Rack is a rare, custom 19-inch rackmount unit containing two vintage Oberheim SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module) units combined with a custom MIDI interface by Studio Electronics.

Key Features

Core Sound: Houses two original 1978 Oberheim SEM analog synth modules for classic, warm analog tones.

MIDI Integration: Upgraded by Studio Electronics with MIDI control (including velocity/dynamics, modulation, and aftertouch).

Front Panel Controls: Includes adjustments for octave range, multi-trigger, MIDI channel, pitch bend, LFO, glide, and volume.

Rear Panel Connections: Features MIDI In/Out/Thru, standard unbalanced mono audio outputs, and an IEC power socket.

Rarity: Estimated at roughly 100 units ever built/modified by Studio Electronics."

Interesting Update via Ersatzplanet in the comments: "Most people don't know but those Obie front panels are also custom made for this unit. Two standard SEMs won't fit side by side in a standard 19" rack. The PCBs will, but the panels are too wide."

MATRIARCH + TAKE 5 + MAGNETO | Live Synth Performance #37 (DEPARTURE)


video upload by David Falcon

"This last few months I've been downsizing a lot in the studio, while focusing on creating a compact system within the Eurorack. Have lots of redundancies and gear that I haven't been using much. Now has been the time for the Sequential Pro 3. I used it a lot in some projects, but the last two years has been gathering dust, so it was time for it to find a new home.

Still trying to find the perfect balance. However I find these these two, the Moog Matriarch and the Sequential Take 5 , so inspiring that I hardly see myself parting with any of them. My plan is to pair the modular with the Matriarch more in the future, so we will see.
Also the Magneto is growing on me, I loved the Strymon dTape sound from the Timeline, but this one is AMAZING. Takes anything to a whole different sound world.

Lastly, I used Rings into FX Aid (Gen Loss algorithm) for the bass sound.

Mastered in Ableton.

Playlist:

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!

Dark Vintage Roland Synths with SciFi video - by Benge


video upload by Memetune Studio

"zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/album/the-evolving-riddle-volume-two

Fifth and final video for another track from my new album, but I will be compiling them into a longer video soon so they are all in one place

This track is made on a vintage Roland SH5 (with special modular breakout-box), plus a modified Roland System 100. These are the best sounding Rolands ever made in my opinion - stuffed full of beautiful discrete early '70s circuits, before they started making their own proprietary sound chips. I also used a series of looper modules to construct the music in real time

You can watch the original performance here:
• Roland Ocean (Rocean) [posted here]

This video pays homage to yet another of my favourite science fiction illustrators Chris Foss, a British artist who, along with others in this series, worked on designs for the original Alien movie, as well as, amazingly, the spacecraft in Guardians of the Galaxy. He also designed loads of classic sci-fi book covers and art, even though he never read much sci-fi as apparently he didn't like it as a genre!

I have tried to bring his work to life in my own way by putting some of his images through the Memetune VideoLab. For more info about how I work in the VideoLab, check out my Memetune Programme series which ends each episode with a special VideoLab section where I go through the various processes I use (there are 18 episodes in total)

Enjoy!"

Yamaha RS7000 Melodic Jungle track


video upload by MIDERA

"Really haven't done much recently. Sorry... guess I'm just busy with life. My whole studio was torn apart and now I'm just trying to make it nicer. Working on my book. Doing summer stuff...

Used small amount of NI Raum for reverb, otherwise just internal FX for the RS7000.

Sadly, the drums seem mixed a bit loud, but since it was recorded L/R in one go, I can't separate them and I'm just not motivated to redo it right now."

GLX BALSAM #1 | Winterdagen


video upload by Winterdagen

"Welcome BALSAM!

The first time I heard about BALSAM was when I was writing a review for a blog about an amazing record by an artist called Chorusing. On that record I heard absolutely gorgeous, slowly drifting synth tones, which I later found out had been made with the artist's home-built synthesiser, beautifully named BALSAM.

A little later (I think), I found out that the synth was being further developed for release, and I came across its website, which featured the most beautiful music. The warm tones, slowly gliding from note to note and moving through the stereo field, were absolutely mesmerising. I kept coming back to the website just to listen to this gorgeous music. That was the moment it became a dream of mine to play this synth, if it were ever actually released.

Fast forward a year or four, and here it is! I'm so happy to have this synth in my studio. It's been a constant source of inspiration from the moment I took it out of the box.

In a nutshell, BALSAM is an eight-voice hybrid synth (VA with analogue VCAs and an analogue stereo filter at the end of the signal chain), with eight buttons and sliders instead of a keyboard. You pick a tuning from eight banks of tunings and use the buttons to trigger the voices. The real superpower lies in the sliders and a unique feature called viscosity. Each voice is assigned a pair of notes, and the sliders let you glide between them. Viscosity acts a bit like a slew limiter, slowing down the movement of the sliders. What makes it truly special is that you can set different viscosity amounts for each of BALSAM's two oscillators, making them glide to their new notes at different rates. Hearing BALSAM slowly detune and gradually find its way back to target notes and intervals is unlike anything I've experienced with any other synth.

BALSAM's the perfect combination of familiar subtractive synthesis - so familiar that you don't even need presets - and a truly unique way of triggering and gliding between notes.

This first piece is full of slowly drifting sawtooth pads with stacked fifths in the oscillators, along with some LFO movement on the filters that speeds up over time because the LFO rate is controlled by the modulation envelope.

There's a lot more to explore with BALSAM, including its second superpower, which turns the sliders into an amazing polyrhythmic sequencer. I'll definitely be exploring that in future videos.

I got a Verbos pulser, a completely bonkers Clouds derivative live granulating module, and the excellent 295 Comb Filter, which is a really nice way of getting your hands dirty when it comes to manipulating sound on the Buchla.
