Moog Spectravox Oscillator Sound Demo
video upload by riotbell
"This is a simple sound demo that examines the Spectravox as an individual voice, focusing on the two VCO wave shapes and how they interact with the filter. The Spectravox is played via KB CV, CV OUT and Gate Out via the Matriarch (tutorial video by Moog below).
There's no vocoding or processing of external sounds going on here. Just the Spectravox "speaking for itself"--if that doesn't sound to corny.
I was really shocked at just how massive the pulse wave can sound in isolation for a single VCO. Likewise, it appears the Spectravox is one of the very few Moog semi-modular synths that features some sort of resonance compensation, because the bass doesn't completely drop out when cranked.
Because there's no full onboard ADSR (only decay), I still think the Spectravox functions better as an accompanying drone voice. But it's cool to hear it on its own.
Thanks for listening!"
Finding hidden sounds with distortion 
video upload by Ricky Tinez
"I've always loved the super smashed and crunchy sounds of distortion but almost felt embarrassed by how insane it could be haha! So today we're riding the line of chaos and chill vibes. It's a fun one. We'll be taking my TR-606 and pushing it through the JHS PackRat pedal."
00:00 Is it Weird to love this sound?
00:30 What we're talking about today
01:24 The Strategy is exploration
01:49 What is your breaking point? Is this too extreme?
02:38 The Signal flow
03:23 The pedal we're using, the JHS Packrat guitar pedal
03:51 RANDOM 606 Fact to impress your friends
04:43 Before and After Distortion - Exploration
05:46 Send it all the the FX!
06:41 My weird pattern change technique
08:39 Trying different Distortion Circuits
09:49 Fixing and adding FX to the 606
11:06 The Final sound and wrap up
11:41 Can I Nail the Transition? Nope..
Elmyra 2 // cLFO // Microcell // Cosmos // Poly 2
video upload by Lesjamusic
"Following Thursday’s fun playing the Elmyra directly, I wanted to try triggering a sequence. I’m using the Polyend Poly 2 to split the midi from Keystep over 4 CV/gate outputs - hence the spaghetti of wires dangling from the big case. Atovproject’s excellent cLFO is modulating various parameters on Elmyra, keeping the drone evolving. Microcell and Cosmos for texture.
Off screen, CXM 1978 and OTO Boum finish things.
00:00 Don’t melt my face
01:45 OK then melt my face"

SnapBeat, send beats through MIDI IN from the RX15 rhythm programmer.
video upload by SnapBeat official
"Designed for simplicity, SnapBeat sampler is perfect for anyone wanting to make beats but finds modern samplers too complicated. Like a point-and-shoot camera compared to a DSLR, SnapBeat lets you sample music with just a few clicks, no complicated manual needed.
SnapBeat is not just simple and easy to use; it also offers additional features.
This video demonstrates how to integrate SnapBeat with an external rhythm programmer and play rhythm patterns with the sampled sounds in SnapBeat.

TrebleSynth single chip modular synthesizer
video upload by profdc9
"This video presents the TrebleSynth modular synthesizer based on the Raspberry Pi Pico. It is a six voice polyphonic subtractive and FM synthesizer with MIDI USB and serial support. One can create instruments by connecting together modules and adjusting analog controls. All processing occurs on the Pico. It is open source software and hardware. You can find the project at https://www.github.com/profdc9/Treble..."
"The TrebleSynth is a "Modular Synth on a Chip" based on the Raspberry Pi Pico. It is a through-hole design that is easy to assemble yourself and uses only inexpensive generic parts that are widely available to minimize costs. One can create various modules on the chip and interconnect them by specifying which unit takes input from another input, assign the controls of these modules to potentiometers, and then adjust the potentiometers to achieve your desired sound. It also has a fully capable effects module on the chip as well. The modular synth supports six note polyphony.
The synth has a 25 key, two-octave keyboard (though external MIDI controllers are highly recommended, as the built-in synth keys are rudimentary and more suitable for testing). The TrebleSynth accepts notes over serial MIDI input and outputs the synth keyboard presses over the serial MIDI output. There is also a USB MIDI input/output, and notes can be played from a computer to the TrebleSynth over USB and similarly the synth keyboard presses are sent over the USB MIDI output. The are two jacks available for expression and selection pedals.
40 Famous Sounds - Minimoog Model D : Reissue vs Original
video upload by Andy Whitmore
"How does the Mini Moog Model D Reissue stack up against the Mini Moog Model D Vintage?
I play 40 classic riffs and bass lines on both synths, back to back. and compare the sounds with the settings as close as possible
Which sounds better? You Decide!
Minimoog Model D – Vintage - 1979 vs Minimoog Model D - Reissue - 2016
How to play & program 40 of the most Famous MiniMoog Model D Patches.
I have duplicated every patch on both the Original & Re-Issue MiniMoog.
This video has FX to fully recreate the parts - the sister video with no FX will be out soon! - Watch this Space!!

Being perhaps the most popular version of one of the most iconic monophonic analog synth series of all time is no easy feat, but the Moog Minimoog Model D manages to pull it off. As one of the first non-modular synthesizers, the Minimoog Model D is highly intuitive and requires very little knowledge to use. The model D boasts contouring circuits and three separate, completely original oscillators, one of which can be used as an LFO. Although the Model D was reissued, the '70s Minimoog Model D hasn't depreciated in value, desirability, or style.
Watch me bring that sound back to life!🎹🕺"
