Syncussion SY-1 - Walkthrough and extended demo

video upload by Richard DeHove

"The Behringer Syncussion clone is a simple beast. It creates mighty bass drum hits with no effort and has beautiful noise. That in itself is something I find puzzling: If this cheap clone can so easily create big hits why are cheap drum machines always so dinky and gutless?

Here I do some lengthy noodlings with the SY-1 Syncussion with one channel through the Zen delay and the other through the Echolocator. This duo is really growing on me. The Zen has some good grit and saturation, while the Echolocator has various tricks with its freeze, shimmer and filter.

About halfway through I digress into a basic overview of the controls, then it's back to noodling. The DB-01 does a good job with sequencing although the original plan was to drive everything with the LXR-02. But horrors! I discovered that the MIDI out functionality on the LXR-02 is totally broken - confirmed by Erica Synths. Hoping for a fix on that soon. In the meantime the DB-01 will have to battle on as my sequencer.

If there's one thing I could change on the SY-1 it would be to add clock sync to the LFO. For me unsynced LFOs are a huge miss. Otherwise it's an excellent little synth. Two of them mounted in a Eurorack case could easily make for a powerful drum voice solution.

As usual, no DAW processing of any kind, it's all what you see.

"Manufacturer's description

MiniBrute 2 has evolved from the legendary monosynth that revolutionized the analog scene with its mixable waveforms, Steiner-Parker filter, and Brute Factor. Now with semi-modular architecture, you can splice its genome and expand its raw power into the world of Eurorack modular. From the earliest electronic instruments, synthesizers have expanded and enhanced the possibilities available to musicians. We decided not only to apply this mantra to the sound of our new instrument, but to synthesizer itself. MiniBrute 2 was born! A synthesizer that would sound huge and yet be compact, self-contained and versatile. An instrument that would be both comprehensive and evolving.

The MiniBrute 2 has nothing to hide. Take a look at its front panel, get yourself acquainted. You’ll notice the now-iconic Brute oscillators, the acidic Steiner-Parker filter, and the mayhem-inducing Brute Factor knob that has become the signature Arturia synth element for many fans.

Looking a bit further, beyond the usual modulation sources and controls, you’ll notice some exciting, unexpected features: a second VCO; a second LFO; new VCO and Filter frequency modulation possibilities; modifier-related modulation destinations; a brand new, loopable AD envelope. Once tamed, this little beast will reveal the full range of its vocalizations, including raging leads and piercing sequences, as well as smooth pads and purring bass."

Organ demo 19/20: Elgam Ringo and Hohner bass pedals

video upload by organfairy

"Some people might argue that the Elgam Ringo is not exactly an organ, but it was sold as such, though back in 1978 everything that was polyphonic and had a divider based tone generator was generally considered an organ. (I will probably get mutilated by a mob of angry Polymoog owners now.)

It doesn't have a bass section, which I find quite odd given that it has a drum machine. I would rather have had a bass section. Therefore I am using it together with the mysterious Hohner bass pedals - mysterious because I seem to be the only person in the universe who has this set: Nobody seems to know anything about it.

Because this organ is very basic - five rhythms and four voices - I have made this demo shorter than the others, so there are only 5 songs against the usual 6-8.

The songs are:
Pennies from heaven (John Burke / Arthur Johnston)
Den rige og den fattige (Gustav Winckler / Bent Werther)
Mormors kolonihavehus (Erik Clausen / Leif Sylvester Petersen)
Tanze mit mir in den Morgen (Kurt Hertha / Kurt Göetz)
Wolgalied (Franz Lehar)"

GND-1T Circuit Bent Speech Chip Synthesizer FACTORY SOUNDS VOL2 - more control, more mayhem

video upload by GND-1

"This demo steps through the patches of the new Vol.2 Factory sound bank for the GND-1T, which can be downloaded from its website. This new bank makes extensive use of the many new features added to the GND-1 since its introduction last year. They are too many to list here, so to find out more please check the GND-1T website: https://richardvanhoesel.com/gnd1t

The demo only has time to play each patch for a short time, but in a more typical / musical context, each patch can be given much more time to develop its full dynamic potential and tonal variations. This bank also includes a few 'keyboard patches' at the top of the bank, which aren't included in this demo.

As usual, everything you hear in these demos is a direct stereo stream recorded from the GND-1T, without any additional processing or effects."

Dark DB-01 drones with 100% resonance (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"This began as a lengthy blather and demo of the Boss RT-2 ensemble pedal. That's the pedal designed as a Leslie effect emulation promising gorgeous swooshes and modulation. But as Bilbo Baggins warned (if I recall the quote correctly): "It's a dangerous business Frodo, switching on your synth. You play a single note, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."

So here all that remains of my sumptuous and detailed RT-2 demo is a rather dark, dirty, and meandering resonant dronefest. I blame the RT-2 of course. I was testing the effect on a poly synth and I was horrified that it seemed to be sucking all the bottom end away. Surely that couldn't be right I thought. So, purely as a test, I plugged in the trusty DB-01. That's all it took. The RT-2's tube saturation was engaged, the DB-01 resonance cranked, and beautiful harmonics cascaded out.

As usual there is absolutely no DAW processing on the DB-01 sound. The vocal samples were obviously added afterwards with some Valhalla delay. DB-01 delay is from the Boss SDE-3.

EMS Synthi A stolen from Synthorama

Some unfortunate news sent my way vis Swissdoc. Apparently someone has stolen an EMS Synthi from the Swiss synth museum Synthorama. You might recall the video walkthrough just posted here yesterday.

The following is via the curator of Synthorama, Martin Hollinger aka Airböurne (creator of the modular synth by the same name), on the Sequencer.de forum (translated via Google):

"Hello everyone

I finally managed to register on the forum. I'm the owner of the Synthorama and, due to a current event, I'd like to give you a brief update on the museum.

The Synthorama has been around for 25 years and serves to introduce synthesizers to a musically interested public. Almost all instruments can be played and tested here.

But you all already know that ;-)

Unfortunately, there are also people who misuse the museum. Since its inception, there have been four thefts, the fourth on August 2, 2025.

The first was about 15 years ago, when someone stole around 10 modules from one of my Moog modular systems while it was unattended and then filled the "holes" with other modules or even front panels. I didn't notice this for a long time because it wasn't that obvious.

FREE SYNTH: NODAL RED 2X - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing NODAL RED 2X, a FREE software emulation of the Nord Lead/Rack 2X by "The Usual Suspects", which brings back to life this iconic synthesizer in all its red glory!

"The Usual Suspects" is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the Motorola DSP563xx series of DSP processors.

This DSP has been used in plenty of virtual analogue synthesizers and other musical gear that was released after around the mid 90s, such as Access Virus A, B, C, TI / Clavia Nord Lead 2X, 3, Modular / Waldorf Q, Microwave II / Novation Supernova, Nova and many others.

And now they released a must have from the 2000'...a Nord Lead/Rack 2X perfect emulation. This synthesizer uses two Motorola DSP56362 and the synthesis engine of NODAL RED 2X is identical to the Nord Lead 2x and it can also load Nord Lead 1 presets.

More info here:
https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/

In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning plugin simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful sounds."

A soundscape built around revised "Beeps" module

video upload by ParadisoModular

"This is a demo of one of my vintage modules that I just radically updated. First, a bit of history. Circa 1988, I was browsing the Hosfelt Electronics catalog, and saw a bunch of little circuit boards there that made different 'emergency' siren sounds. Of course, I couldn't resist buying all eight of them that they had, and designed a synth module around them that allowed me to switch (manually or via external signals) the audio output from any of them into the left or right channels on a common stereo mix. In addition to a linear mix, I also combined them via a chain of exclusive ORs (the VCOs on these units produced square waves), again selected by the same gates - this produced kind of a ring modulation sound (Exclusive OR's can be thought of as 1-bit multipliers). On the front panel, I also provided outputs from each oscillator independently, as well as the ability to inject independent voltage control into each oscillator.

Despite my attempts to leverage this module into different patches, it retained a distinct identity - e.g., the sound of a major urban emergency - that limited its usefulness. You can hear a short demo excerpt I recorded on it circa 26 years ago here- http://Paradiso.media.mit.edu/Outgoin... - I'm switching outputs from the alarm circuits randomly to left and right channels throughout - the first half features the linear mix and the latter half the XOR mix. You can clearly hear that this module makes a very strong statement -as such, it didn't appear much in my pieces over the years.

But I still saw big potential in it. 8 oscillators aren't much by today's digital standards, but as I can switch them into different paths dynamically, it's got promise. The main thing I had to do was to be able to turn off the LFO control of each oscillator that made the siren sounds and think about coordinated ways to control this bank.

So a month or two back, I embarked on this journey, enabling the LFOs to be switched out of the audio oscillator voltage control paths (but giving independent access to them all, providing LFO outputs on the front panel and in most cases voltage control of LFO frequencies), plus providing adjustable voltage control of each oscillator as well as different kinds of ensemble voltage control (e.g., controlling all 8, controlling the top vs bottom 4, controlling even vs odd channels), as well as being able to adjust the base frequency of the ensemble and the base for each independent oscillator. Witness the massive augmentation of the front panel, as well as the wild nest of wiring below to do this hack in the midst of this video.

But low-and-behold it's done. This isn't a voiced device - the oscillators are linear, hence don't hold tune collectively as you shift frequencies. This, for me, justified the hack - I've got plenty of oscillators that I can already voice and track harmonically - this unit is now about nudging frequencies collectively and independently to go through different kinds of dissonances and occasionally sweet spots in a deep ensemble fashion. Plus, if I want to, I can switch channels back into siren mode, or use their LFOs in more flexible ways (each of the LFOs sports a different kind of waveform).

OK, IMO it grew into the monster that I hoped it would become, as you can hear in this live recording. Here I routed both the linear and XOR outputs through different complex reverb units, fading them up in different ways and at different times, and switching the oscillator outputs dynamically into different channels using digital gates coming from other modules in my system (occasionally I would hold some or all of the gates to just let the thing drone). I also injected different kinds of ensemble control (all, even/odd, top/bottom) at different times to bend the frequencies a bit, driven by triggered envelope generators. All sounds come from this revamped 'Beeps' unit - one voice was routed through an octave divider to bring it lower, and some effects were used, plus the reverbs nicely put this beast into a dense dreamy space. Despite the complexity, it's one of the simplest patches I've made - you can see it in the little bit of pan-around video I put into the middle of the clip.

My usual disclaimer - heck, only 8 oscillators with simple control paths could be done trivially in software now (one of my hero-pieces, Dave Wessel's 'Antony', an inspiration here, used hundreds on IRCAM's 4x (or 3x back then?) circa 30-40 years ago), and there are probably Eurorack modules around like this now too, including some that I may already have. But this connects to something I made in my relative youth, turning it into the sonic tool that it wanted to be. I hope you enjoy this demo!"

Lost in Teenage Engineering OP-XY - Stranger Things' inspired jam

video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"Exploring deep basslines and cinematic textures with the Teenage Engineering OP-XY – a dark synth journey inspired by Stranger Things.

There are moments like this when I feel lost.

Every time, I tell myself that I need to move on, change things up a bit, make a jam with another synth; but the Teenage Engineering OP-XY is a vortex that pulls you in once you find the right sounds, the rest just flows naturally. This happened with the Danger Things sound pack by Metropolis Border, inspired by the dark atmospheres of Stranger Things: as soon as I started listening to it, something clicked, and just dropping in a deep bass was enough to kick everything off.
In the track, I also used some of OP-XY’s default presets, and I realized that with just a touch of sound design, you can bring out some really great things. At the bottom, you’ll find links to all the packs I used.

As usual, the beginning is very ambient, but the track quickly evolves, taking darker and more mysterious turns, until it reaches the rhythmic part, which is definitely more intense than usual. I only prepared the song’s scenes, but I preferred to perform it live. During the performance, I let myself go, especially towards the end, really getting into it: OP-XY’s punch-in effects are as simple to use as they are effective.

Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy it.

Plasma Voice: An Electro and an Industrial noodle (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"As my grandmother used to advise: 'They can't shoot you for asking'. So I asked GamechangerAudio if they might send me a Plasma Voice module - and here it is.

It's easy to get started - just send it a trigger or a MIDI sequence (MIDI adaptor cable is included). From there you can get as complex as you like. In the first noodle the DB-01 is sending it a basic pattern and the Plasma Voice and DB-01 are doubled up playing it. Some synced LFO CV is switching voices in the bass and lead category. My daughter pulled a face when she heard me editing this and said it sounded 'loose', so I added some drums in the DAW. And then a few extra vocal samples for seasoning.

CV comes from the SPC Neptune 8-LFO module (currently in development). This is an early prototype but is just the thing for sending lots of synced modulation. The Plasma Voice loves being fed.

The second piece is pure Plasma Voice fed into the Nightverb. Quotes are from the original 1938 Halloween broadcast of The War of the Worlds. Again lots of CV tweaking the core sounds.

As usual the sound is not subsequently modified, EQed or processed in any way in the DAW (except the added drums in Noodle 1).

Additional Tone Tweakers Listings

"Like nearly all the high end vintage analog synths we sell, this item has been METICULOUSLY disassembled, cleaned inside and out, FULLY serviced by professionals who’ve been servicing and selling vintage synths for more than the last 3 decades, and systematically tested multiple times over a long period to ensure it’s working exactly as it should. No BS. No ebay surprises. We’re perfectionists and don’t cut corners. Although this instrument came to us in relatively good shape, we want our items to be better than the rest and invested *many* hours of tech time plus parts costs to fully overhaul this unit so it would be clean, working like new again and as reliable as possible for its next owner. This was a serious investment of time, love, and money, and was definitely worth the effort and is of course reflected in the higher than usual price. If you’re looking for a great sounding example of this model that works just like it should without needing to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in tech fees and waiting from weeks to years, this one should make you very happy.

We’re happy to announce we’ve got another meticulously refurbished Voyetra Eight with keyboard ready for sale. This unit took us approximately 76 hours of skilled vintage synth tech time plus parts costs to get it up to our high standards.

This work included not just getting everything working perfectly, but also applying custom modifications to make tuning better than it was when it left the factory, as well as taking future-proofing measures that other sellers don’t do, but that will hopefully keep this one running well a lot longer than lesser examples you may find.

After 76+ hours of restoration by our very experienced V8 expert and our focus on perfection rather than cost, you won't find a better one."

Boundary Layer is a triple cycling slew acting as a powerhouse of modulation, audio
mayhem, and obscure modular tricks. Each of the channels can act individually as:
-a modulation oscillator
-voltage controlled slew (including portamento)
-AR/AD envelope (decay or release determined by choice of input).

All three channels are tied together by three global inputs, as well as three outputs which select the MAX, MID, and MIN of all three voltages. Using different combinations at audio rate allows for patch programmable stereo drone synth capabilities.
