Hologram Microcosm + Korg Minilogue music making
video by Gabe Miller Music
"I use the Hologram Microcosm effects pedal with the original Korg Minilogue to make some super pretty sounds and a couple of ambient jams."
Abstract LoFi IDM (BeatCutter app)
video by Igor Vasiliev
"This track was created using the BeatCutter app (iOS). Eight samples from free libraries were used as source audio material. Samples are completely different both in content and in rhythm. The first sample sets the rhythm and, in addition to processing, passed directly to the output. The initial idea was generated using a random template, then individual parameters were tweaked. Mainly, the trigger parameters have been changed to reduce the triggers activity and make the sound less dense. The sound is recorded directly in the app without additional processing."

The Synclavier, Michael Jackson and a Copyright Conundrum
video by Alex Ball
"Who wrote the intro to "Beat It"? Michael Jackson?
Let's find out...
One correction: I misspelt Jon Appleton in the video, apologies to Jon.
Root Studio's Synclavier demo video mentioned:"
NED Synclavier I Demo

"This rare New England Digital Synclavier Model I plays from its internal sequencer what is probably a factory demo.
To find out more about this instrument, watch my history video:"
Synclavier I - the first digital synthesizer you could buy
video by rootstudio
"One of the rarest musical instruments, this historic computer controlled synthesizer is as flexible as you want it to be and sounds like nothing else. Video includes high definition close ups of the insides and demo sounds.
Listen to some experimental music created on this Synclavier:

Update via gridsleep in the comments: "Triadex Muse was released in 1972, five years before the Synclavier."
And you could buy it. The Synclavier 1 would be the first *programmable* digital synth you could purchase, but only via the included DEC VT100. via 120years.net: "The synclavier 1 was an FM synthesis based keyboard-less sound module, and was only programmable via a DEC VT100 computer supplied with the system."
So I guess it depends on how you define a synthesizer - programmable or not. Note there were at least two earlier digital "synths". See The First Synth To post for more.
GForce Software OB-E | Overview and Demonstration
video by Alex Ball
"An overview of the new synthesizer OB-E from GForce Software.
Based on the God-tier Oberheim Eight Voice, OB-E is a new plugin for Mac that brings all the features of the original with a raft of additions that would make original Eight Voice owners jealous. Well, relatively jealous, they own an Eight Voice after all.
A note - I was using a Beta version of the software in October of last year so the final release version may have some changes and improvements.
