Compact jam on Circuit Tracks & MicroMonsta 2

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

Sometimes it's nice to go back to the basics. The Novation Circuit was my entry point to the world of hardware in 2018, and while I've mostly moved on from the Circuit, it's so nice to go back to sometimes. Here, I'm using the Circuit Tracks—a worthy successor to the original, thanks to its additional two sequencing tracks—for two synths and drums, plus as the sequencer and mixer for the additional voices from the Audiothingies MicroMonsta 2.

The MicroMonsta 2 is one of those handy devices that does exactly what you need when you need it. It's super small and fits in any table setup, is bitimbral, has effects, and most importantly, sounds pretty good. Here, I stumbled into a sort of arp/pad crossover thing (thought I was recording a mono line, and accidentally recorded some pleasing polyphony) and, thanks to the hands-on filter control and its reverb, got me a lot of movement. For the second voice, I thought I'd demonstrate the less polite side of the MM2, and I love how huge the bass sound is. I only wish the MM2 were more readily available for those who want it!

Together, this little setup gives me four voices of synths, drums, effects, sidechaining to the kick, and some performance options. It was a great reminder of why I fell in love with grooveboxes, and why I love hardware in general.

Thanks for listening.

Constructing Loops with Intellijel Cascadia & Ableton Live

video upload by Intellijel

"3 ingredients: Cascadia, Ableton Live and a delay / reverb pedal. That's all we've used here to quickly create the foundations of a techno track (minus the kick and snare).

The setup: MIDI from Push 3 + Live over USB to sequence Cascadia, then performing and recording the audio loops. This way we can quickly create parts, capture them, and repeat.

Cascadia's versatility in sound design makes it great for layering all kinds of electronic sounds - from classic warm analogue, to modded out textures & noises."

OBERHEIM TWO VOICE (1975) + Roland RE-201 Space Echo

video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics

"Oberheim Two Voice made by the wonderful Oberheim Electronics. To me, the Two Voice/SEM is the my favorite synthesizer (and also the FVS/EVS system!)

This TVS is owned by a cool client of mine Matt Fiske from Sensorium Studios. This TVS is a prime example, being a very minty condition/restored Two Voice. I originally restored this one a few years back, and here it is making the sinister filter sweeps/sounds. The onboard mini sequencer, is such an amazing concept and I’ve spent hours just making a sequence, then soloing on top with the second SEM."

APHEX TWIN - Z Twig (#17) (Prophet REV2 Synth Cover)

video upload by nicola neeco

"One of my favorites from the Selected Ambient Works vol.2 album (1994 Warp Records).
For this cover I used the Prophet onboard bbd delay, then I added some reverb (my usual Vintageberb).
The patch it's quite simple: a single oscillator, square wave.


(I made these patch from scratch)

Gear used:
Sequential Prophet REV2 (8 Voices)
Valhalla Vintageverb"

X-Plorations Vol 2 - Sequential Prophet X - Patches 65 to 96 (of 128)

video upload by GEOSynths

"Out Sunday 25th August

So, it's been almost 4 Years since I worked on the Prophet X and then released X-Plorations Vol 1. While it does have some amazing Factory Samples from 8DIO, which i have used, I was a little disappointed in the Synth Samples, so I sampled 14 of my Synths, just the Oscillators wide open over many Octaves and EVERY note.

Of course, the Prophet X has onboard VA Oscillators and when combined with the Samples, you can make the Prophet X sound amazing. As mentioned, for Volume 1 I sampled 14 of my Synths to make 43 Sample Sets, these are the Synths I used.
