Buchla 200 and 2HP Loop

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Here is another Buchla exploration with the Sputnik 289 and also a set of 2hp modules - the Loop and the Pitch which are a really great way of capturing audio (up to 5 mins) and then messing with it

In this patch I have got 2 channels going through the 289, 2 channels coming from the VRS23 and one from the 2hp modules, all being mixed and recorded through the Teenage Engineering TX-6

The result sounds something like me tuning a radio while falling down a mine shaft into an underground cavern filled with wasps"

Behringer Syncussion SY-1 Analog Drum Patches + Samples Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"🥁 Analog Drums is a collection of 50 patches for the analog drum synthesizer Behringer Syncussion SY-1, featuring 12 Kicks, 8 Snares, 10 Toms, 6 Cymbals, 6 FX, and 8 Percussion sounds.
🔮 This soundset was born from an exploration of this retro-style drum synthesizer, crafting everything from classic, production-ready tones to more experimental percussive timbres. The result is a dual package: a patchbook plus 250 one-shot samples.

📦 Get the soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/sync...

💾 Each patch served as a starting point from which several variations were recorded by slightly tweaking parameters. This way, you get not only a guide to recreating the sounds but also a ready-to-use WAV collection (44.1kHz / 24-bit) for both hardware samplers and DAWs.
The collection is suitable for many genres: synthwave, retrowave, techno, deep, house, downtempo, industrial, and many others — anywhere an analog retro sound is needed.

🎹 The Behringer Syncussion SY-1 can be triggered not only via the TRIG button or external trigger but also through MIDI. When connected to a MIDI keyboard, the keys transpose the pitch of the patch—experiment with different notes, octaves, and sequenced patterns to unlock a broad sonic range. Tweaking parameters during performance adds dynamic movement and expressiveness to your percussion lines.

📒 The soundset comes in a PDF format. Following the guidelines while experimenting with the suggested settings will deepen your understanding of the synth’s capabilities.
🎧 Each patch also includes an audio example to demonstrate its intended sound.

I added synth parts to the demos. They are not included in the soundset.

"Welcome to our first Sound Pack for Multigrain - Intellijel HQ Sounds.

Download the Intellijel HQ Sound Pack now:
https://intellijel.com/go/intellijel-...

Back in March (2025), we were finishing work on Multigrain - getting it ready for launch in April. In the search for factory content, we decided to literally use our own factory... for content.

Armed with a couple of mic's and a field recorder, we set about recording every day sounds here at the office. Unfortunately, those sounds never got packaged in time for the release.

Fast forward to August - we've now revived this Sound Pack for you to add to your Multigrain. Hope you enjoy it!

Notes on the Kick drum in patch two:
Mod clock out from Metropolix (/4) gates the Kick
Sound path is VCO 1U → SVF 1U → Dual VCA 1U → Stereo Mix 1U
Tangrams shapes VCO pitch, SVF frequency and VCA amplitude"

LFO/LFO (Circuit Tracks Version)

video upload by Guinan

"This week’s track is a version of the classic 1988 Warp records release ‘LFO’ by the UK Leeds band, LFO. Seen at the time as part of a genre then known as ‘bleep techno’ it was characterised by hard, uncompromising electronic minimalist industrial techno tracks such as this.

I’m hoping I’m not the only one who remembers and loves this track! If you like this try and find 'Testone/Sweet Exorcist' in a similar style - possibly one for a future cover too.

More details for synth nerds

I already had some ‘Speak & Spell’ samples I’d downloaded years ago so this was a great starting point. I had separate samples for the “L”, “F’ and “O” and I thought it would be fun to throw in one of the starting noises the toy makes when switched on. The same toy is featured on Kraftwerk’s ‘Computer World’ album so the sound will be a familiar one.

The main chord sequence comes from a Kawai K1 preset patch. Luckily there is a free fantastic software synth emulation of this keyboard available online so I was able to create a sample for the repeating chords. The emulator can be downloaded from the following page,
https://www.nilsschneider.de/wp/categ...
I’d encourage you to leave a donation for the author if you find this emulator useful.

All of these samples are sequenced alternately on the Drum 4 track.
There is a single repeating rhythm pattern using 909 samples played on Drum 1-3.
Synth 1 plays an FM-sounding bass patch, and Synth 2 is a representation of the staccato bleep sound (a small amount of pitch envelope helps recreate the original sound). Add lots of reverb and voila!"

PMS Performance Music Systems SYNTAR

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

via this Reverb listing

Don't miss the demo in the listing, previously posted here.

"This is the very rare 1980 Performance Music Systems (PMS) SYNTAR. The SYNTAR licensed the Electronic Music Systems EML designs made famous in the ElectroComp EML 101 and arranged them as a two oscillator synth with a multimode filter, Sample/Track & Hold, LFO, two EGs: ADSR and AD. All of the pots are sealed Type-J and some of them use the unique center 0 style for mixing in LFO or ENV. The oscillator wave forms are selected using a pot rather than a switch, which allows for a full range of shapes and you can go through low pass, bypass and highpass modes in the same linear fashion.

Sonically the SYNTAR is its own beast though most similar to the EML ElectroComp 101 and capable of growly moog style bass and leads with colorful resonant filter sweeps to very subtle pure tones thanks to how wave forms are variably dialed. The two printed pages are excerpts keyboard magazine's analog synthesizers features some details and pictures of the SYNTAR being shown at NAMM.

The left hand controls feature 9 wood blocks that control pots to allow for:

pitch up, pitch down
pitch modulation
sustain
filter up, filter down
filter modulation
amplitude modulation
nose. [sic]

Portamento control can be set to be directional and has a linear or exponential glide.

The power was rebuilt and includes a few modifications for CV and GATE out so that the SYNTAR could be used to drive modular analogue synthesizer. The Pratt-Reed keyboard has new bushings.

The original ATA flight case and a one off custom vinyl gig bag are included as well as a 50' and a 25' cable and stack of original patch sheets. The cable handles power, audio, external audio in, CV and gate so that you only plug in the 10 pin milspec cable to the SYNTAR.

The flightcase foam is collapsing, but fortunately the velvet covering is intact over it. The flight case is solid. This synth is now 45 years old with components from the mid 1970s. The original type-J sealed pots are all working, but are scratchy."

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."

2. Whimsical Patching // 2. Self-Patch Feedback

from Dani:
"One of the most exciting facets of Silhouette's design is how the sound palette changes and, really _unlocks_, via self-patching. For example, patching SHADOW back to the various INPUTS allows for SPOT-controlled regeneration.

In this video, a chord from Just Friends and a 'kick' from Mangrove is spread across the INPUTS. SHADOW is patched into the sixth input, which makes SPOT's modulator act as a temperamental levee -- just as the level of the signal's feedback seems to overtake the output from LIGHT and RIGHT, a small nudge engages the strange attractor and SPOT surveys an ever-changing landscape of pulses and tones.

I'm particularly enthralled by the way that SPOT and its modulator become a macro control -- panning and voice distribution are linked to the depth of the self-patch's influence. This becomes apparent when SHADOW is patched into the third input, which creates a different stereo terrain.

Self-patching is very rewarding across the entire Mannequins lineup -- eg. a channel from Just Friends patched back to its own INTONE will create a wonderfully complex undercurrent to its otherwise predictable movement."

3. Whimsical Patching // 3. V/8 Beyond Pitch + Cross-Modulation

from Dani:
"I love multing signals used for pitch to other elements of a patch. As notes jump octaves, other parameters change in-kind, which creates a lot of interrelated surprises.

In this video, crow is translating a randomized arpeggio via monome's Max for Live devices: pitch is sent to output 1 and note-on events are sent to output 2. Pitch is patched to Mangrove's V/8 input, and that same note sequence is multed over to Silhouette's SPOT modulator. This means that the pitches we hear are also affecting the position of SPOT, which controls the spread of our inputs in the stereo field.

Just Friends is working as a grouped envelope generator, taking the note-on events from crow output 2 via 6N's input (which pulses all the channels). We also self-patched 3N's output to JF's TIME parameter, which creates a nice ebb-and-flow of note durations. 5N and 6N are patched to Meng Qi's DPLPG to gate Mangrove's PPM SINE and PWM outputs, which are respectively sent into Silhouette's fifth and second inputs.

We also add some cross-modulation by using Silhouette's SHADOW audio signal to control JF's CURVE parameter, which builds an organic volatility into our patch -- as audio is filtered through SHADOW, it tickles its own envelope shape. We additionally mult SHADOW and feed it back into Silhouette's ALL jack, completing our patch with a bit of feedback.

Throughout the video, I hand-play SPOT's sweet spots, which really showcases the sheer width the module can imbue. 9:00 adds a brighter hard-left delay to our hard-right melody. Moving from 12:00 to 3:00 brings the melody center and adds a softer timbre to our delayed signal. 3:00 gives just the right amount of swelling feedback, while jaunts down to 6:00 invert the spread with sharp bursts of our PWM into the delay with every clockwise scan.

Though it's the most patch cables we've used in this series, I wanted to showcase how Silhouette can really shine in a small system. Regardless of whether you've got Silhouette in your arsenal, have fun multing V/8 into anything + everything and try cross-modulating envelopes with the audio signals they're shaping!"

Yamaha DD6 1989 Circuit Bent Drum Machine + Joystick Controller

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Canned Sound

via this Reverb listing

"Yamaha DD-6 1989 drum machine featuring a 17-point modulation patch bay and pitch controller. The unit also includes an externally connected joystick module for manual activation of four additional modulation effects which are also combined on the diagonal axes for further processing options. Two latching/ momentary pre-set effect switches are also featured on this unit.

These custom modifications unlock an array of original sounds and rhythmic variations; making a single connection on the patch matrix can dramatically alter the output but applying multiple connections produces an increasingly complex, sometimes aleatoric range of reversed, tonal, bit crushed, flanged, distorted, aliasing and delayed sounds, additional accents, rhythmic patterns and digital noise. Additionally, the five included patch cables can be stacked for further sonic manipulation.

The patch bay and joystick affect the 100 tempo adjustable onboard rhythms and the velocity sensitive drum pads. The unit functions as normal when the patch bay is not implemented.

Mains (9- 12v DC) and battery powered (6 x AA), features a 1/4" output, no onboard speaker.

Dimensions: 42cm (L) x 27cm (W) x 12cm (H)."
