An ambient track created using a Korg Radias. I recorded this one in two takes. One take for the Radias (synth + drums) and one take for guitar. I used Logic's built in amp sims for my guitar tone.

"Broken headspace

An ambient / downtempo track created with a Korg EMX-1 and a Korg Radias. For this track, the EMX-1 is handling all the synth and drum parts. I'm running the EMX-1 through the input of the Radias to apply addition effects.

TR909 // The Shootout vs RD-9 and TR-09

video upload by Starsky Carr

"I've finally got my hands on an original Roland TR909 and have put it together with the Behringer RD-9 and the Roland Boutique TR-09.

For me, they all have their place, TR09 is great little digital portable version, the RD-9 is a big robust analog performance tool, and the TR909 is there for the glamour... plus it does sound most like itself!"

Teenage Engineering OP-XY - portable synth performance

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on the Teenage Engineering OP-XY.

The OP-Z was perhaps my biggest "so close, but not close enough" piece of gear from the last few years. Its sequencer and performability and portability were great, but the build quality was terrible was terrible (of my unit, anyway) and the internal synths and effects weren't for me. I was exactly that person who wanted the upgraded, more robust version of the OP-Z.

And we got it. Yes, I recognize the price is high. But so far I am very, very happy with the OP-XY and what it does. It's sturdy, it feels great, its synths and samplers sound great, its effects are great, its sequencer and arranger are powerful, its Punch-In FX are useful.

And most importantly of all, it's fun. When I'm using it, I'm having fun.

Considering you can get an absolutely superb portable groovebox in the Tracker Mini for far less money, it's hard to recommend unless you're the type (like me) who just loves grooveboxes. But I'm loving my time with it so far.

Thanks for listening.

Performed and recorded live to a stereo output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

DFAM, BIA, UltraPerc, Modbase09, Sample Drum, zZzOrb, BIM, Octatrack, Analog Heat - #ModularTechno

video upload by x0d

"I resurrected an old modular percussion synth configuration and paired it with the DFAM for some fun.

The DFAM is running thru the OTO BIM for a bit of delay, and everything is mixed using the Octatrack, and then thru the Analog Heat MKII.

A simple, but effective setup.

------

Patch/Routing Notes:

I have the modbase09 running thru the HN TriTone for some EQ'ing, and out individually to the OT.

All the other modules are mixed in the case using the Erica Drum Mixer, and then filtered thru zZzOrb, before going out to another thru channel on the OT.

The DFAM/BIM are also on a separate thru track on the OT."

"Quick jam using the Moog Mother 32 for the lead and bass sounds. Dave Smith Tempest analog drum machine on the drums, UDO Super 6 for some background pads, and Strymon Bigsky Mx Reverb on everything."

Explaining the PlayFader CV/MIDI Sequencer

video upload by mylarmelodies

"In this tutorial/demo I’ll explain the unique way the Playfader CV/MIDI sequencer works, showing the basic keystrokes you need to be able to make, erase, transpose, mute and apply temporary effects to sequences. I’ll also keep the shortcuts onscreen so you don’t need to remember them.

I'm using the Dreadbox NYX, Music Thing Workshop and Roland T-8 here. T-8 supplies clock to the PlayFader. PlayFader sends CV/Gate to the two analog synths.
