Hologram Chroma Console (mostly modular) Review

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Fabulously gooey, satisfyingly vintage and full of fun time - that is the Chroma Console. In this video I take you through the pedal with a chunk of modular and a bit of guitar. Probably the most fun I've had making a video in ages - it's proper good. And just so you know - Hologram sent me the Chroma Console for review but has no say over the content of this video."

Elektron Digitakt II and SOMA Lyra-8 explorations

video upload by Bobo Meijer

"Some exploration with the Lyra-8 pairs with the Digitakt II for all kinds of weird sounds. It is very easy to get lost in the Lyra and it really takes some time to understand what it is doing. I really like it so far but it’s also very hard to make something with it on the fly.. needs time ☺️"

The Lab Report Episode 3: Hands-On Sound

video upload by Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers

"This Lab Report explores the touch controller of the Voltage Lab 2.

The Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2 is a cutting edge synthesis laboratory that offers a new palette of analog textures and waveforms to sonic researchers. Newly developed wave shaping capabilities paired with powerful synthesis tools, and a deep, performance oriented controller join together to create a complete sound design laboratory. This instrument has a very physical sound. The tones it creates feel natural and alive, with traditional waveforms becoming the seeds of unique new shapes and sounds that shift between analog physical modeling and more unfamiliar, abstract timbres."

Synth Riffs on Novation KS5 VA Synthesizer ! 09_03_2023

video upload by Calcaire - Calixte - Camhi - 石灰岩

"was having fun with my synth, recorded the jam as usual and thought it was a good idea to share it, cause there ain't much video of the KS5 here"

The edgier side of the KS5.

Shimmers and Echoes (soundscape) for VCS3, Arp 2600, Clavinet, Mellotron and Gong.

video upload by R. Reger

"All VCS3 patches played through an Empress Echosystem. Arp 2600 patches played through a Boss RE-20 Space Echo. Clavinet played through a Fairfield Circuitry "Randy's Revenge" ring modulator. Mellotron played through an MXR 10-band EQ and Boss RV-5 reverb."

Arp87 delay on synth: Simple yet interesting, flavorsome yet mild

video upload by Richard DeHove

"No matter how many high-end delays you have there's always a place for a small and simple mono. The Walrus Audio Arp87 has a lot going for it: obvious operation, five delay modes, good sound, small footprint and tap tempo. Against that the modulation is a bit seasick and it's not cheap.

It's also rather Roland-esque in that it won't let you do anything too weird. It won't go anywhere near 100% wet, it has no delay time knob and it won't self-oscillate.

This was bought with my own money and it was annoyingly expensive. So nothing's perfect and perhaps this is just another stop on the never-ending delay pedal quest.
