Norand Morphos - Band strip explorations
video upload by Norand
"Here is some sound design research with the Morphos band strip.
These sounds are generated with internal modulations. Those researches lead us to meet some strange creatures."
u-he - Gesprächskonzert @SUPERBOOTH22
video upload by Superbooth Berlin
"Again this year, the Berlin-based company u-he honored us with a live set. Urs Heckmann and Sebastian Hübert presented their growing Eurorack product range.
The new designs were certainly a pleasant surprise for many attendees and they promise to be very interesting modules! The multiple envelope and complex filter appear to be well thought out, versatile and highly musical. More of these please.
[REUPLOAD - because of audio problems with the first version]"

Com Truise: The Crumar Bit One in 'Ultrafiche of You'
video upload by Soundfly
Note: MATRIXSYNTH readers can use the MATRIXSYNTH20 code for 20% off Soundfly courses.
"Watch producer Seth Haley, aka Com Truise, break down the inspiration and production behind his 2019 hit 'Ultrafiche of You.' Keep learning in his full-length course, exclusively available on Soundfly at https://soundfly.com/comtruise.
--
About the Video:
In 'Ultrafiche of You,' Com Truise took inspiration from an Italian polyphonic analog synth, the Crumar Bit One. He used the Crumar for almost every part of the song — including the main melody, counter melodies, and as samples — adding effects, tweaking the patch, and chopping and reversing sounds to get as much variation as he could from it. The result is a deep exploration and meditation on a single instrument and sound source.
Here, Com Truise opens up the track in Ableton Live and plays each section of the song to show how he processed the sounds and used the synth to create the song's "flowing atmosphere."
--
About the Course:
Combining a nostalgic reverence for ‘80s drum machines and production techniques with a futuristic sensibility, Com Truise has been building intricate musical worlds that are hypermodern and yet emotionally familiar for over a decade.
In this course, you’ll discover how Com Truise produces music that is both textural and driving, awash in retro drum sounds and thick clouds of synthesizers. You’ll follow along as he creates a brand new track from scratch, and opens up the sessions to some of his most popular songs, giving you a unique look at how he approaches synthesis, drum machine programming, production, gear, and more.
Whether you’re an aspiring synthwave artist or simply someone in need of inspiration and constraints for your next musical project, this in-depth course will help you add an otherworldly quality to your music. Sign up here: https://soundfly.com/courses/com-trui...

Kloob - Summit Dub Ambient (1st test)
video upload by - Kloob -
"After a period of thinking it through, I decided to purchase a Novation Summit synth (I have no regrets despite the price). I’m very excited and it will become the most important gear in my studio."
Sequential Take 5 demo
video upload by Hunart©
"Thanks to my friend Sensor I've had a chance to play the Take 5 synth by Sequential for a few hours. Not much, but very inspiring. As usual, no external FX, EQ or compression, just a limiter (D16 Frontier) on the whole material. "
Sequential Prophet-10 Demo
video upload by Hunart©
"Thanks to my friend Sensor (you can find the link below the description) I've had a chance to play the mighty Prophet 10 by Sequential. As usual, no external FX, EQ or compression, just a limiter (D16 Frontier) on the whole material. I'm mainly playing sequences, tried to pull out some different sounds from bass, brasses and leads."
