Not just for bleeps and blops Pocket Operator Modular 400

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Playing big, brash and melodic lines with other eurorack compatible kit. The Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Modular 400 is so good at experimental and evolving ambient soundscapes using the onboard sequencer (which is much more flexible than it looks), that there's a whole lot of that already here on YouTube.

The pocket operator modular series has been reduced in price - enough to tempt me into buying the 'big' yellow 400 to see what it's all about.

I'm using it here with the Analog Solutions Colossus - just to have a listen to how well the little yellow one stacks up sonically to something with an undisputed quality tone. It does very well sequenced by the Arturia Keystep Pro, showing not only that it works with other kit, but also that its possible to pay melodic tracks with it, so thought demoing something big, brash and melodic would make a pleasant change"

Exploring Arpeggiators and making music!

video upload by The Unperson

"Are arpeggiators underutilised? I feel like I'm not hearing arps too often in synth jams, especially when compared to sequencers. In this video I do some exploring of the humble arpeggiator with the goal of making some cool synth music!

A Magical Night in Madrid: Synthesizer Symphony Under the Stars

video upload by Al Platino

"Last night, in the heart of Madrid, a sonic spectacle resonated between the walls of the imposing Almudena Cathedral and the majestic Royal Palace. With the stage set between these two iconic landmarks, I delivered a performance inspired by the rich history, culture, and spirituality of the Spanish capital.

Using the Nord Lead 4R, Elektron Octatrack, and Arturia Keystep Pro, I aimed to capture and convey the essence of Madrid, a city that has deeply inspired me since my first visit. Each instrument played a crucial role in creating this mystical and vibrant atmosphere.

The Nord Lead 4R, with its modulation capabilities and vast sound palette, allowed me to evoke the rich tones of the cathedral bells, mixed with the bustling life of Madrileño streets. I could mimic everything from the gentle tinkle of morning bells to the powerful toll marking the passage of time.

On the other hand, the Elektron Octatrack acted as my sonic canvas, enabling me to sample and manipulate sounds in real-time. I recorded snippets of Madrid's ambient noise: laughter, footsteps, the gentle hum of conversations on terraces, and the distinctive sounds of traffic, to later weave them into a rich musical tapestry that underpinned my performance.

Finally, the Arturia Keystep Pro was the bridge that tied all these elements together. With its sequences and control capabilities, I could steer the direction and flow of the music, adding melodies and harmonies inspired by flamenco, fandango, and other traditional Spanish rhythms.

As the first chords echoed, a visual projection unfolded on the façade of the Almudena Cathedral, showcasing scenes from Madrid's history, from ancient times to the bustling metropolis it is today.

As the night progressed, attendees were taken on a sensory journey. From the dark mystery of the Spanish Civil War, through the cultural renaissance of the Movida Madrileña, to the vibrant pulse of modern Madrid.

I deeply thank everyone who joined me on this sonic journey. It was an honor to share my love for music and Madrid in such a spectacular setting. Here, under the starlit sky and between buildings that have witnessed centuries of history, we all felt the eternity of the moment.

Until next time, Madrid. Thank you for the inspiration. 🎹🌌🎶"

video upload by SchneidersLaden

"After some years the Transistor Sound Labs Stepper Acid sequencer is finally available again! We took the opportunity and combined it with the updated version of the easy and effective Domino synthesizer voice by Eowave. What a fun combo!

The two modules provide you with an easy workflow, great sound and live performance capabilities. The two modules, a case and three cables is all you need to you started. Recommended!"

The Massive Sound Of An Experimental Soviet Drum Machine

video upload by HAINBACH

This appears to be the first post to feature the RMIF ES-2-5.

"The RMIF ES-2-5 is an experimental drum machine that was made in Riga, Latvia, in the last days of the Soviet Union (1991). It was an attempt at re-creating the Roland TR-808, but was hampered by the lack of microchip technology available. RMIF abandoned the project after only a testing run of 30 units where made. One rare surviving example found its way to my studio in a sorry state. I had it restored to better then new condition, as I feel it is a piece of instrument history. And it sounds so very very heavy and melancholic.
