Control Synths from Your Phone: Piano Improv on Blade Runner Riff | iOS MIDI (Beta)
video upload by Cristiรกn R. Villagra
"Live piano improvisation over synth riffs driven by my in-development iOS MIDI control app (no name yet). The app sends MIDI to my computer to play arpeggiators and tweak sound parameters in real time (filters, tone, mix, FX) using on-screen faders, knobs, XY pads, mini keyboards, and pitch bend.
Session routing (Kontakt):
• CH1: Noire Piano — played from Arturia KeyLab 88 Mk3
• CH2: Two synths — driven by the app’s Bass Arpeggiator (riff inspired by Vangelis’ Blade Runner theme)
• CH3: Lead synth — performed from the app’s mini keyboard
• CH4: Minimal electronic drums — driven by a second arpeggiator
Why this app? Many keyboards I use on stage have few (or zero) surface controls—sometimes not even pitch bend—so I built a mobile controller to unlock hands-on control: shape filters, automate movements, morph textures, balance layers, and keep playing fluidly. If this helps me, I know it can help other players too.
This video is a 6-minute+ live jam to show the workflow: arpeggiators keeping motion underneath while I improvise on piano and ride parameters on Page 2 of my scene (faders/knobs/XY). The app is still in development and I plan to release it as soon as possible.
If you’re into MIDI control, live keys, or sound design, tell me what you’d like this app to do next—your feedback will shape the release.
Additional Keywords: iOS MIDI app, mobile MIDI controller, live arpeggiator, synth arps, Kontakt Noire, Native Instruments, Arturia KeyLab 88 Mk3, phone MIDI, DAW performance, synth filters, XY pad, faders and knobs, pitch bend on mobile, live improvisation, Blade Runner inspired, Vangelis, sound design workflow"

"GODWIN / MORESCHI CD 1 - 1984
What is this thing?
Why does it look so awesome?
Who controls it?
How?
Also released under the Moreschi brand and sometimes with a reversed control panel, the questions are piling up over here and since this unicorn doesn't get captured very often we thought we owed the internet quality photos and an in-depth, technical video demonstration of its functions.
We haven't managed to crack open the Treble sounds - we need the schematics to properly access those - if anyone has them please contact us - and stay tuned for a Part II then.
The video probably has the information you need but let's dive in to a basic rundown here just in case:
The CD1 is an Italian auto-accompaniment unit derived from the Godwin Drummaker 32.
Hooking this up to an electronic accordion, foot pedals or an organ you get organ and polyphonic sounds, pre-programmed chords, arpeggios, bass lines and drum machine patterns.
It's unclear which accordion model is compatible to the CD1, if such an object exists.
The unit has 6 sections: Drum machine, Bass, Chords, Arpeggio, Treble and Solo sounds. Plus a modulation section.
The 2 arpeggio sounds are the same as on the Drummaker 32 while the drums are unique to the CD1.
Our plan is to unlock the last tabs sounds properly once we find the schematics or manual but in the meantime the unit trigger 4 chords with the Program push buttons so you can still use it and it sounds great."

Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave 8M Review & Demo | Compact Synth Powerhouse
video upload by Starsky Carr
0:00 All 3rd Wave intro (not drums or vocals!)
2:13 Doing that PPG Thing
4:07 It's SOOOO much more than a PPG
6:33 Creating the Different Styles of Tones
14:00 Putting Them All Together
16:15 Demo Track - Rain or Shine
"The Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave 8M is here – the compact desktop module with huge power. From classic PPG tones to modern wavetable magic, this demo shows why it could be your next dream synth.
In this video I put it through its paces with a full demo and review, showing how it stacks up against the bigger 3rd Wave keyboard and even the Behringer Wave – a clone of the classic PPG 2.2.
With 24 voices, wavetable creation, sample import, and a deep sequencer, the 8M delivers the lush PPG tones we know and love – but it also goes far beyond, opening up new creative possibilities for sound design and performance.
If you’ve seen my earlier videos on the 3rd Wave , you’ll know how close they get to that classic PPG sound. But the 8M adds serious flexibility: multi-timbrality, modern workflow, and the ability to create wavetables from audio. This isn’t just a clone – it’s a synth that pushes forward while staying true to the heritage.
Whether you’re a fan of vintage digital synths, wavetable synthesis, or just looking for an inspiring new instrument for your studio, the 8M is a fascinating option.

Whimsical Patching // 4. Utility Drum Machine
video upload by Whimsical Raps
All parts here
from Dani:
"When I take inventory on why modular synths remain compelling to me, it is because the format puts one in direct conversation with _voltage_. As mentioned in other videos, every signal in a modular synth is voltage -- some of it moves quickly enough to hear, some of it moves slowly and is excellent for modulation, but pushing this common denominator to its edges often leads me to make choices that a computer or desktop synth simply cannot facilitate with the same improvisational ease. But I also love working with computers as an end-of-chain glue -- not just for editing or effects, but to bring a new set of possibilities to the playground.
This video is a supercut of two processes:
a. The core is a conversation between Cold Mac and Just Friends. Just Friends provides cycling envelopes and pulses, which run through a self-patched Cold Mac. Though Cold Mac is primarily known as a utility module, cross-patching its wavefolders and slews creates gnarly delights out of simple input signals. Adding the inherent rhythmic interrelation of envelopes from different channels of Just Friends to the mix can quickly create a fuzzed-out chaotic drum machine with low subs and bursts of noise. Modulating SURVEY, both by hand and voltage, reveals a world of timbral shapes.
b. While (a.) was exciting and revelatory, it was missing something. Whenever I sequence drums, I love to layer percussive hits with additional samples -- so I took to @kriista's Data Knot, which packages FluCoMa's real-time descriptor analysis tools into an army of useful Max/MSP objects. Data Knot allowed me to use audio from my 'utility drum machine' to crawl through slices of @natesmithdrumsofficial's Pocket Change and a Bonnie Raitt isolated vocal track, which filled things out in a really fun way.
Both the original modular-only recording and the responses of Data Knot are layered to create this hybrid result which, to me, feels really organic and fluid."

Monotrail Starting with Modular
video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk
1. Getting started with modular - 4 eurorack systems explained
There are many ways to get started with modular, and many reason to be interested in it. There is no single solution, modular is a journey and you have to discover and experience your own. This video is part of a series where I share some thoughts and ideas I wish I could find when I started out. Take or leave whatever you like :)2. What modules should you buy when starting with modular?
Timetable:
00:00 – Introduction
02:17 – The Monosynth
06:32 – The Sonic exploration lab
10:26 – The Performance system
15:34 – The Dedicated tool
Getting started with eurorack can be confusing. The number of modules available grows ever week. And on top of that, what you need depends on what you want to do with your modular. In this episode in a longer series, I look at a 4-module starter voice as an option.

Roland JX-3P & JX-8P vs Juno-6. Are the JX incapable, or why is the Juno-6 twice as expensive?
video upload by Knobs & Switches
"Here is a longer comparision video about the Roland JX-3P and 8P and the Juno-6 and why you did not only need the Juno-6. The JX could really surprise you. The title track was only made with the JX-3P and 8P including the Drums!"

Whimsical Patching
video uploads by Whimsical Raps
Playlist:
1. Whimsical Patching // 1. Audio-Rate Modulation
from Dani:
"One of my favorite aspects of modular synthesis is that signals we can hear are made of the same basic building block as signals which provide control and modulation -- they're all just voltage moving at different rates!
When we use an audio signal in the place of control voltage, we're touching into a technique broadly known as audio-rate modulation. Using audio-rate modulation in the Whimsical Raps ecosystem is incredibly rewarding, as it can unlock unexpected behaviors in familiar and new modules alike.
Here, Mangrove (our formant oscillator) modulates Silhouette's (our new 'signal combiner') SPOT, which is mixing six audio channels from Just Friends (our six-voice digital oscillator). I noticed that sending Mangrove into SPOT bleeds Mangrove's audio signal into the mix, so I tuned Mangrove to harmonize with Just Friends. This endowed FORMANT changes with new power, adding harmonic depth to the chaotic modulation -- notice the sizzle around 0:30 as FORMANT is cranked up.
Once INTONE adds distance between the ratios of Just Friends' oscillations, I reduce FORMANT to a low-frequency grumble -- I particularly enjoyed Silhouette's delayed vocalizations of these changes across the stereo field. Manually scanning SPOT offsets the input channels we're highlighting, which reveals the new INTONE-spread pitches. Increasing FORMANT introduces audible discontinuities as Mangrove regains its pitch, which are unique in the left and right channels. A final INTONE adjustment is added for performative spice, which is caught by the bucket-brigade device for a muted splash of stereo color."

"An American-made, analog drum machine with a distinctively woody tone and a remarkable feature no other drum machine posses - Modulation.
Swipe for a demonstration of how it operates [video previously posted here]
On the back is an audio input for modulating external instruments like guitar, organ or why not a string machine? Much like a side chain compressor, the external signal gets muted by the individual drum hits of the rhythm pattern engaged, almost like a tremolo but rhythmically syncopated.
There’s a slider to control the level of audible drums or instrument input signal.
10 drum sounds and 16 rhythm patterns are available to the user.
No individual volumes are at our disposal but a slider to emphasize the brighter or bass-y drum sounds.
Excellent condition unit with a small bump on the front wood panel.
110 Volt power with standard American power connector."

Waldorf Pulse & Pulse 2 - Don Solaris Soundset
video upload by Don Solaris
"Available at: https://www.donsolaris.com/?page_id=3633
Why DCOs? Unlike traditional VCOs (voltage-controlled oscillators), DCOs maintain consistent pitch and phase – which may sound like a subtle difference, but in practice, it’s key to achieving harder, tighter, and more aggressive bass. DCO-based synths like the Pulse don’t drift or smear. They hit with precision, punch, and presence, which is especially crucial when you want bass that stays locked in with your drums and doesn’t fall apart under compression or saturation."

Crashing down | Moog Minimoog, Sequentix Cirklon, Sequential Prophet 10, DSI Prophet 12, Nord Drum 2
video upload by MIDERA
"I was considering selling the Minimoog. Kept talking to friends about how I just didn't like it. I don't know why, I guess maybe it was like with the Prophet 10, where it's just a lot of money and it doesn't really seem to do anything that much better than what I already have. One of my friends said 'Well, have you tried sequencing it?' And no... I hadn't. I got the Minimoog when one of my cats died, then I rehomed my dog, and then my mom died. The whole next year (2024) I spent scanning photos in of my parent's. Only now have I started to get back into things. Well, I decided to try it out and wow, I really enjoyed it - the Minimoog sounds pretty amazing. So this is my first track with it sequenced.
I'm also working on trying to get more proficient with the Cirklon, and I've gotten a little hold on using it.

Moog Minimoog: Bass
DSI Prophet 12: Bells

Roger Linn, Creator of the Original Namesake LinnDrum on Behringer's New LmDrum
The following is Roger Linn's statement on Behringer's LmDrum, written Jan 4, 2025, saved here for the MATRIXSYNTH archives:
In December 2024, Behringer released their "LmDrum", which is described on their site as:
"If you are looking for a drum machine that can recreate the classic sound of the 80’s, look no further than the Behringer LM DRUM. This amazing drum machine features an authentic 8/12-bit sampling sound engine that captures the essence of a hundred legendary 80’s drum sounds including those designed by Roger Linn such as the LM1*, LM2*, LM9000* and more. You can even record and store your own samples using the integrated line input."
Uli Behringer kindly sent me an LmDrum in August of 2024, giving me a chance to try it out. What do I think? I think it's a bit of a head-scratcher. It is clearly intended to evoke my 1982 "LinnDrum" drum machine, borrowing its visual style, control layout, colors and logo style, as well as copying its sounds and those of my LM-1 and Linn9000 drum machines. I took it apart and it even copies much of my LinnDrum sound generation circuit, even my bad ideas like the inability to tune any drums except the snare, toms and congas.
However, it uses an entirely different operating system and user interface, one that is based on earlier Behinger drum machines. Personally, I found it somewhat confusing and difficult to use, though I was given an unfinished manual. I'd imagine they will improve both the software and manual over time. I suspect the designers found it difficult to find a balance between 1) the impression of a LinnDrum clone, and 2) the addition of modern features, given that the 1982 LinnDrum's feature set is woefully inadequate by today's standards.
It's worth noting that Uli never asked my permission to either copy my visual design or my drum sounds. Though in 2020, he did kindly invite me to collaborate on a future drum machine, and I respectfully declined because of concern about Behringer's past business ethics and legal practices.
How do I feel about the LmDrum? My feelings are mixed. On the one hand, it's not unusual for companies to borrow ideas from older products in order to inspire a new and innovative design, which I've done in past. Plus, my old drum sounds are all over the web, controlling copying is difficult, and I don't enjoy legal stuff so I've generally ignored the issue so far. Also, the value in those old sounds is probably due more to Art Wood (the drummer who played the sounds, and my friend of many years), and to artists like Prince, Michael Jackson, and others, who made those sounds famous on their hits. Finally, I must admit that I've never cared much about the past, because I find the future far more exciting.
On the other hand, even if we discount the copying of the visual design, logo style and sound circuit of LinnDrum, the LmDrum copies my sounds. So I'd have preferred for Uli to ask my permission. Even if he thinks it is legal, I question whether it is ethical.
I find it interesting that the LmDrum is being sold in the U.S. for only $399. Having taken it apart and seeing how complex the copied old circuitry was to reproduce, I doubt Behringer is making any money from it. I suspect that they originally intended to sell it for much more, then discovered that while many people may say they want a LinnDrum clone, few are willing to pay more than a low price for it.
On a related topic, GForce Software has recently released their "IconDrum" software drum sound generator. Like the LmDrum, it copies the LinnDrum's visual design, logo style, and drum sounds, but has no sequencing. Unlike Behringer, GForce did say they wouldn't release the product if I objected, but they seemed like good people so I turned a blind eye. They also offered to pay me an insignificant royalty for my association with the product and perhaps to use "LinnDrum" name, but I declined because of the low compensation and because I thought it was misleading to call a product "LinnDrum" that wasn't a drum machine but rather only played my copied drum sounds.
One last comment. What's the big deal about nostalgia? I can understand that some people value analog synthesis, though I find the many types of innovative software synthesis created in recent decades to be far more capable, versatile and interesting. But even if people value vintage analog synths, why vintage digital drum machines? I ask this because an old bit is no different than a new bit. Our collective love of nostalgia brings to mind an old Douglas Adams quote from Salmon of Doubt:
"I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things."
As a guitarist, I recall having endless discussions in my youth about "good distortion". :)

New ULT-SOUND DS-4M Drum Synth Demos
video upload by Korablove Roman
Available at Nightlife Electronics
You can find additional demos in previous posts here.
"The DS-4 drum synth, which was released by Toyo Gakki in the 1980s under the "ULT--SOUND" brand and was used by the drummers of Japan's leading techno-pop group, has been revived in modern times. An inspiration for many modern drum machines, the DS-4 is heavily sought after for it's immediacy and ease of programming. As a 45 year old drum synthesizer, finding an original for a reasonable price without needing a complete restoration is not the easiest task. This is why the DS-4M project was brought into existence. Using all original schematics as well as original components, many of which are incredibly rare to find, the DS-4M is meticulously built by hand using thru-hole components. Physically, it is built like a tank to last for decades of enjoyment and creativity. What's more, modern MIDI and CV/GATE inputs have been added along with individual outputs and a high quality, balanced MAIN output ready to take the legacy of the Ultimate Sound DS-4 far into the future. The new functions also add an exciting twist: using the SINE or SQUARE waveforms, DS-4M also works as an up to 4 voice synthesizer, or any combination of drums/percussion with synths with accurate tuning as well"

Sonicware AMBIENT ร - PATTERN CHAINING "Time Variant"
video upload by Alba Ecstasy
"A few hours later I made this ๐ [AMBIENT ร - The Perfect Ambient Companion] I thought that I could do more with that idea, so I made another video I didn't published (it's a version of the middle part of this video) because later I wanted to get more. So I recorded this track. After many hours of tweaking I must have to admit!
I knew I can do more than that an ambient atmosphere with the Ambient 0: a sequencing and arpeggiating that would suit my style. It's a little more to dig, but it can be obtained with this ambient machine. Behringer EDGE accompanying for drums. Which I forgot to sync: see that yellow patch cable? I disconnected it before recording. Don't know why ๐
No external FX.
Ignore that fake 'tremolo' playing, but I wish I could do that with the Ambient ร (I really need the OSMOSE ๐ )!
Hope you'll enjoy!"

FFS - For Fuzz Sake (Super Fuzz Face!) || By After Later Audio

"Two fuzz channels based on the fuzz face circuit with a built-in pickup simulator.
Gnarly is a 7 knob beast that will destroy whatever you throw at it. It has many dead zones in the pots that will adjust based on the position of other pots. It's all about finding the sweet spots and living on those fine edges. The transistor pairs on this section are replaceable.
Oomph is a 5 knob bass friendly take on the fuzz face and compliments the upper harmonics of the Gnarly section. Pickup simulator - Fuzz circuits offer unique sound when paired with the inductance of the pickup coils in a guitar. This why it is often suggested to have fuzz pedals as your first in a pedal chain. So we've built-in a coil to simulate your eurorack signal being emitted by a guitar pickup. We've also included a pickup simulator output so you can use it to interface with other fuzz instruments (pedals, modules, etc.). As an added oddness - you can also input your guitar into the pickup sim output (just don't plug anything into the normal input). This will still get you Eurorack level output. Please don't input Eurorack levels into the pickup sim output.
Tips - Experiment with the pickup simulator and buffered signal. Use the PS.Level to keep the signal low, borderline on cutting out. You find lots of joy in the gnarly section by keeping this level at the edge."
