Update: New Nymph sighting at 6:08. Screenshot captured here.
"Was able to drop by and visit the new Dreadbox office and workshop on a recent trip down to Greece. Pay attention because Yiannis drops some subtle hints about products in the pipeline. And yes, some of them might not be monosynths.
Video timeline:
00:23 - Introduction (beer and band babble)
03:38 - Touring the new offices
13:19 - Touring the new workshop
Minus the drums, 96% of the sounds in the music in this video is the Dreadbox Nyx v2.
The last visit to Dreadbox was in 2018, and here's the link to that video:" [posted here]

Moog Matriarch: Here on Earth - an ambient demo
video upload by MIDERA
"My daughter turned 4 today. She's very much into Octonauts, so I have to be Captain Barnacles, Peso, or Shellington (and I think my impressions are pretty spot on). She got her wish - which was to have Shellington put her to bed tonight. There's nothing I enjoy more than being with her and reading books or pretending to be octonauts (which happens to take up probably 80% of our time together). When I ask her who her favorite person is, it's no longer Papa. It's 'Barnacles' or 'Shellington.'
I imagine, years in the future, she'll call me from college and I'll say, 'Kwazii, sound the octo-alert,' And she'll just say 'Daaaaad....'
Anyway, this track just sort of represents those lucid moments I have with her, with my family, just enjoying what really is the best part of being here on Earth.
Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb."
DIY analog synth project ( Ad-vantage 02M The random sequence and synchro sound )
video upload by Adamski A.
"I absolutely adore the aggressive tone of oscillator sync and so would like to share a small patch with you guys . This incorporates the use of the random wave from the LFO to, bring forth some delicious analog aural pleasure."
1993 Quasimidi Quasar M.A.S.S. SN 801-13908
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Quasar from Quasimidi is a rack-mounted digital synthesiser module which was released in 1993. A synth that was satisfying to the Techno crowds of the day and also General MIDI friendly.
The presets and drum sounds eschewed the typical General Midi specification, which was in vogue at the time, in favour of electronic and trance techno styles. The Quasar included an arpeggiator, which was an unusual feature in 1993.
The synthesizer also features a robust set of effects from Chorus, vibrator to delays, reverbs, and vocoder effects."
