video upload by WMDevices

"Introducing Subway, an 8 input, 1 output scanning crossfader in 6 HP. Transit for your signals!"

WMD SUBWAY - 8 input, 1 output scanner eurorack module - Audio Demo - No Talking!

"8 inputs and correlating on/off switches let you decide how many signals are a part of the line. Then, smoothly fade from one signal to the next using the knob or an external CV source.

In this video, Alex goes over the features and functions of the modules and provides audio examples of fun patches made with it."

Prototype of a PATCHABLE analog SYNTHESIZER

video upload by Polykit

"This is a demo of a prototype of a patchable analog synthesizer. It is based on one of my voice cards I have build over the last months."

Github: https://github.com/polykit

Voice Card Specs:
• A single oscillator with saw, triangle and pulse output
• Multiple VCAs to blend between different input signals, a main VCA for the envelope and a panning VCA for stereo output
• An additional external input that can be mixed in, eg. a noise signal
• One envelope generator for the VCA. It can also modulate filter frequency and resonance, also with an inverted signal
• A pole mixing multimode filter with 8 filter responses:
◦ 4P LP
◦ 2P LP
◦ 4P HP
◦ 2P HP
◦ 4P BP
◦ 2P BP
◦ 3P AP + 1P LP
◦ 4P N
• There are multiple options two switch and blend between different signals and filter responses
• PWM, FM and synchronization inputs

Enjoy!"

Oberheim OB-X8 Demos by Orano Music

video uploads by Orano Music

Playlist:

1. OBX8 1st sound made, this thing is huge #OBX8 #TomOberheim #Oberheim

Very Brief to let everyone considering this synth and wondering how big it can sound. This is a very quickly thrown together Fast Attack Pad sound. Some PWM, Slight Pitch Mod on One osc, and a touch of Strymon Big Sky for Verb. Opening up the Filter on this beast just has me in awe! SHOW LESS

2. Oberheim OBX8 and OB6, Perfect Companions #OBX8 #OB6 #Oberheim

I wanted to try and recreate one of my Favourite OB6 Patches in the OBX8. The result at the correct filter amount is very close, the two have the same character but are so much two different beasts. They bounce off each other and both shine in their own way.

This is not a technical Vs video its just to let you hear them both together. The sequence at the start is from OB6 then I play my programmed patch on the OBX8 live.

The OB6 arp is using the onboard OB6 preset fx running through a Strymon Big Sky verb OBX8 patch is Mono running through the same Big Sky Verb, no other FX or processing.

3. Live Play - OBX8 XMOD Sound Design - #OBX8 #OBERHEIM #XMOD

This is a live recording of me playing around with the XMOD on the OBX8, the variation in sound is exceptional, once a sweet spot has been found it just sings!

I basically hit record and took this all in one take. Pad - OB6 on Hold
Arpeggio - OBX8

Love this synth! it may just be my favourite ever!

4. Recreate Thriller on the Oberheim OBX8 #oberheim #obx8 #OB-X8 #Thriller #michaeljackson

Every Sound on this Except the Drums is created on the Oberheim OBX8, done for fun, just to see how close it gets :) great Synth, absolutely love it.

5. Oberheim OBX8 - Sound Design 90's Nostalgia #oberheim #obx8 #sequential

Not the Usual Oberheim massive sound, but some serious 90s nostalgia, took me back to being 18 again :)

Original Track is -
Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman (she's homeless)

Additional demos

Sequential Prophet X demo by Giaga Robot

video upload by Algam EKO

"Giaga Robot ci accompagna alla scoperta di tutte le funzioni del potente synth Sequential Prophet X, uno strumento nel quale la sintesi digitale e quella sample-based (150GB + 50GB caricabili dall’utente) si uniscono per dare vita ad un motore sonoro dagli orizzonti praticamente infiniti. Filtro analogico, due multi-effetti, 4 LFO, 4 inviluppi DADSR e una matrice di modulazione estesa fanno di questo synth a tastiera semi-pesata a 5 ottave (velocity e aftertouch), con arpeggiatore e sequencer polifonico uno strumento perfetto per i tastieristi professionisti."

Sequential Prophet Rev 2 demo a cura di Giaga Robot

video upload by Algam EKO

"Giaga Robot ci dimostra il synth analogico Sequential Prophet Rev 2 in versione a tastiera 5 ottave. Si tratta di un sintetizzatore bi-timbrico, con 8 voci di polifonia, sequencer polifonico (6 note per step) a 64 step, arpeggiatore e multi-effetto. Il motore di sintesi è basato su 2 DCO con forme d’onda variabili in modo continuo, un VCF passa basso Curtis a 2/4 poli, 3 inviluppi D-ADSR e 4 LFO. Estesa è la capacità di modulazione, grazie alla matrice da 22 sorgenti e 53 destinazioni."
