The Mysterious Quasimidi Sirius Synthesizer (Presets, drums, songs)

video upload by Dawn R

"The Holy Grail of groove synthesizers and the Crown Jewel of the Electraglide band.
The Sirius is a keyboard "groove-synth," featuring a subtractive hybrid-tone-generation synthesizer referred to as DTE ('Difficult To Explain') synthesis introduced in 1997 by Quasimidi. The unit featured both real-time and step sequencers with pattern- and song-modes, capable of acting basic drum machine, groove-box, or sound-module.

The unit is thus 7x multitimbral and has 28-voice polyphony across its 7 tracks, with track selecting a (track-specific) sound within 96 sounds (per bank) of preset- or user-writeable sounds."

• 'East Coast Soul’ — Painting a sunset drenched horizon, East Coast Soul offers an effortless set of electric pianos, vibrant chord progressions and shimmering digital leads.

With eight flexible sample tracks on Circuit Rhythm, beatmakers can immediately play back samples however they choose, whether they’re chopping straight from vinyl, making basslines and melodies, or punching in drum grooves live. For more creative options, Rhythm owners can plug in their phone, turntable, or synths into the groove-box and record sounds directly to the machine.

We hope the Circuit Rhythm Sample Expansion Pack will help new musicians get started with sampling, and encourage beatmakers to follow their inspiration, combine their ideas with these stand-out soundpacks and create countless unique tracks."

Ambient Jam with the ARP2600

video upload by PanicGirlVids

"When I last got my ARP2600 restored from a professional technician, one sentence from our conversation really stuck in my head. "If you want your synthesizer to last as long as possible, you need to play it regularly". It sounds easier as it actually is, as life just gets in the way from time to time. But with such an extraordinary vintage synthesizer in my studio I try to power it on and play it at least once a week, as this beauty needs to be kept alive as long as possible."

video upload by EthanJamesMusic

"This is a tutorial series for anyone who wants to learn how to do their own sound design using the Sequential Circuits (former Dave Smith Instruments) OB-6 synthesizer. The goal is to break this subject down into understandable and digestible bits of information that you can apply to your own electronic music. I am primarily a media or film composer, so we will learn ambient, techno, and EDM style sound design using the synth. This tenth video shows some custom sound design examples to give you an idea of some of the possiblities."
