AudioPilz - Synths - Bad/Better Gear
Bad Gear - Yamaha CS1x - Not Exactly My Thing video by AudioPilz
Just discovered this series. Above is the latest video featuring the Yamaha CS1x. Below is a playlist of previous videos in the series. I'm guessing the CS1x will be added. P.S. I actually own a CS1x and SU10 so it's kind of fun seeing them paired in this video. The CS1x is all ROMpler but it does have some nice icy strings. It has a bright digital character about it - like it's permanently run through a glassy sounding reverb.

"Tough Cookies" w/ Dan Abreu, Steve Langone, Ben Alman
video by Jeremy Parker
"Here's my latest funky composition, 'Tough Cookies', featuring the talents of Dan Abreu on sax, Steve Langone on drums, AND 'Cowboy' Ben Alman on bass. After I restored my Rhodes MKIII EK-10, I just had to write a tune to feature it. The name 'Tough Cookies' is something I say to my daughter a lot. :) We hope you enjoy this tune as much as we did recording it!
Please check out Dan on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzvc... and website: https://danabreu.com/"

"This Novation Summit keyboard is awesome. Great sounding oscillators and filters. The UI rocks and it’s powerful but easy on the brain. The sonic gods are smiling on me."
Physical Synthesis Cicada - Acoustic Vibration Synthesizer
video uploads by Physical Synthesis
via Physical Synthesis
"Cicada is an inherently human and expandable modular system comprised of five primary components: AMP, PRE, Actuator, Bridge, and Soundboard.
The Cicada Actuator generates vibration through two voice-coil motors supplied from up to three amplified input signals (carrier modulator, and DC offset).
These vibrations are carried across a steel Bridge and transformed into a nonlinear tip-surface interactions with a Soundboard containing a piezoelectric pickup.The signal from the pickup is pre-amplified, filtered, and compressed to +5dB level output to either direct (speakers) or back into a DAW or effects chain.
In addition to audio, the Cicada Soundboard has four force sensitive resistors (FSRs) located beneath the four corners of the unit. When the soundboard material is compressed, the FSRs transmit CV voltages (0 to 5V+) from each of the four FSRs.
Unique Components
Cicada is an expandable modular system comprised of five primary components: AMP, PRE, Actuator, Bridge, Soundboard.
Amplifiers
2 x 15W Class A Amplifiers (LM1875T) with DC offset on amplifier one.
Inputs
Two 3.5 mm mono audio inputs accepting Eurorack-level audio signals at 10V pp, one 3.5 mm CV input to control DC Offset 10V pp, (-5V to 5V range). Note: line-level inputs must amplified.
Outputs
One 3.5 mm unbalanced mono audio output. Four 3.5 mm CV outputs from the Soundboard FSRs (0 to +5V).

“Roland SH-5 Drones 03” by Friendly Noise
video by Friendly Noise
"Some drones with the Roland SH-5. The dual filter with that incredible sound and the powerful mixer with multiple destinations for each sound source are the key for drones.
The Hold knob is fully open in order to sustain the sound without keyboard retriggering.
A little reverb added in the DAW. Other than that, no sound processing. 100% SH-5."
