Korg Minilogue XDm - Ambient /glitch/noise/pad Sonata
video upload by Default Corporation
"Hi,
Thanks my friend Marco Paris, i got in my 'sala giochi' a beautiful Korg Minilogue XDm and i enjoyed it playng on knobs and it's modulations.
This is a demo from a preset i've done from scratch and playng on knobs while a pad sequenced by the Akai MPC Live.
Thanks for watch."
Radical Frequencies Dpvco waveforms into Audio & CV Mixer with oscilloscope
video upload by Radical Frequencies Modular
"Here i use an oscilloscope to show you the new RF Audio & CV Mixer module by passing through waveforms from Dual Precision Vco .
You can see and listen the difference between the opamp outputs and the transistor outputs !
The discrete transistor circuit can warm and gradually saturate the sound , and in addition positive saturation it’s different sounding than negative saturation, giving the possibility of choice what sound you prefer!
After mixing single waveforms through the mixer at the end of the clip I mix 3 separate saw waves from different dpvco oscillators for this fat analog sound 🙂 The audio is recorded directly from the mixer into the sound card."
AI022 Eurorack Harmonic Mixer First Look
video upload by AI Synthesis
"A demo video for the AI Synthesis AI022 Eurorack Harmonic Mixer.
The AI022 Harmonic Mixer Eurorack Module is a discreet mixer, using no Integrated circuit chips, and increasing gain will add harmonics to incoming audio.
It can be purchased as a module, or DIY Kit and PCB/Panel Set.
The Bias knob adjusts voltage of the circuit, and adjusts how well or poorly the transistors replicate incoming audio. Adjusting the bias will add or decrease harmonic distortion."

AI022 DIY Harmonic Mixer Eurorack Module Build Guide Video
video upload by AI Synthesis
Update: pics and press release:

The AI022 Harmonic CP3 Style Mixer is a discreet mixer using no ICs. As gain increases harmonics and analog warmth are added. As gain increases more, distortion and phasing is added, creating new waveforms from old ones.
The AI022 takes inspiration from the legendary Moog Modular CP3 style mixer, but updates it for eurorack and allows for user customization of the circuit. Many Moog Modular users attribute the CP3 mixer module to providing much of the warmth of the Moog Modular sound.
An exposed Bias knob allows abuse of the circuit, and allows for faithful replication of incoming audio, or radical analog wave shaping and distortion. It is also possible to use the Bias knob to adjust a +/- 5V signal into a 0/+ or 0/- signal.
It comes in both Silver Aluminum versions and Black PCB FR4 versions.
“In the year 2000, I was in college and obsessed with modular synths, but could barely afford to eat. I knew it was possible to build your own synth, but there wasn’t anyone, or anywhere to turn to for advice. In the past decade, much more information has been published online, and in 2013 I started down my path to DIY modular. Even with all of the information online, there still lacked a single, simple, comprehensive guide for those looking to build their own synthesizer. I want AI Synthesis to be that guide. Prior to building my own synth, I was a dreamer, after building my modular, I felt I had awoken. I want to help others do the same.”
-Abraham Ingle
Founder, AI Synthesis In addition to providing step by step build instructions, schematics, and circuit explanations, the site also includes a guide for getting started in modular synthesis, and a series of DIY Guides, with information regarding how Resistors actually work, and how to integrate a $26 scope into your Eurorack system.

Ambient Set - Take 5, Wavestate, Microcosm, Big Sky - Tefty & Meems
video upload by Tefty & Meems
"The @Hologram Electronics Microcosm looping has been great for ambient music. Did this set basically improvised utilizing the Microcosm's looper. The @strymon Big Sky tied the sounds together post looper. The instrumental and Meems voice were multi tracked to Ableton Live for a mix a few weeks later. Both the @Korg Wavestate and @Sequential Take 5 were patched into a mixer that was patching the audio to the Microcosm. This allowed for capturing loops from both the Take 5 and Wavestate as desired.
Also, during the mix phase, we sent Meems vox back into the Microcosm for another layer of dreamy dimension into the mix. You hear it more on the second and third track as extra 'phantom voices'."
Roland JP-8000 - trancy signature sound of the 90ies
video upload by synthlegends
"The Roland JP-8000 came out 1997 as the first VA-Synth of Roland. It had the very famous super saw waveform on board, a saw consisting of 8 saw waves slightly detuned, which is adjustable with a fader in live performance. It also had a very distinctive digital delay and chorus plus equalizer, which gave the synth its typical signature sound. The JP-8000 was the style maker für trance music. Still today it is very sought after and Behringer just made a small clone named JT-4000 for only EUR 49,--.
The JP-8000 doesn't sound like an analog synth at all. The resonance of the filter sounds very cold, there is a lot of aliasing, the tone can sound quite harsh and industrial, nevertheless with the super saw and a lot of internal delay you get very powerful pads and dreamy textures out of it. This synth is difficult to compare with others. Maybe a bit with the VA engine of the V-Synth, although I find the V-Synth in this respect inferiour.
In this video I start with some own created split sounds I used in my last band, it is followed by some solo sounds and arpeggiated lines. It ends with some trancy pad sounds.
The effects are great on the JP-8000, nevertheless I used only very little of reverb of the GFI Sepcualar reverb. Beside this, there is no additional processing.
Enjoy the video and have fun!"
Waldorf Q - favourite sounds

"My favourite presets from a Waldorf Q I recently bought 2nd hand (many are the legacy of previous owners)
Love this synth but I don't think it comes close to the microwave XT

How to make Synthwave Sounds // Spoiler - It's SUPER EASY!!
video upload by Starsky Carr
"A tutorial and demo on how to recreate the tones of F.M84, Miami Nights 1984, Timecop 1983, Waveshaper, Wayflow, Starcadian, Lazerhawk etc Make your own synthwave patches. How to make synthwave bass, pads, and lead sounds using a Prophet 5 in this, but most soft synths can do the same, even stock plugins that come with your DAW, The basic principles are the same... they're simple sounds from synths that had limited abilities in the 1980s."
