Alesis Phlngr & Roland TR606


video upload by Ticco Ross

"The Alesis PHLNGR, part of the ModFX series, was released in 2002. It is a stereo digital flanger effect unit and like all Alesis effects, it has a sound of its own, with a lot of personality at a very low price."

Waldorf Quantum • Microwave XTk • Micro Q // Recording Session


video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

This is a quick, rough, work-in-progress composition for my electro-industrial project "cell:burn" using my ‪@WaldorfMusicChannel‬ Quantum, Microwave XTk, and Micro Q synths. I thought I'd shoot some video of the session. No external effects were used, only the built-in synth effects. I need to redo the drums/percussion as it loses timing around three-quarters of the way through, and then a proper mix of everything.

To hear my previous cell:burn works, go to the Bandcamp page at - https://cellburn.bandcamp.com

... also available on all other digital streaming/download platforms (Apple Music/iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, etc.)."

Brainstep patch idea - modulating swing


video upload by Tubbutec

"Using one of Brainstep's 8 LFOs in synced mode, we modulate the swing amount via a CV input.
This creates an evolving, ever changing rhythm."

Melbourne's Synthtemple - 160+ playable synths, two studios, Atmos enabled, and available to hire!


video upload by mutech.media.australia

"Tony Osmond's Synthtemple is the ultimate destination for electronic musicians. This globally significant collection of more than 160 both genre-defining and rare synths is all patched and playable, enabling instant creativity. Its two studios, designed by acoustic engineers, are Atmos enabled, with top-end Genelec monitoring. Patching is both analog and digital, and recording via Logic or ProTools.

Highlights in the collection include the world's largest Roland 700 system, early Moog synths, rarities like the Buchla 406, three Yamaha CS-80s (and a DX1!) and much, much more.

Set in the inner-eastern suburb of Kew in Melbourne, Australia, and opening in early 2025, Synthtemple is set to be become a major international drawcard.

mutech.media's Paul Frech interviews owner and synth collector Tony Osmond about the collection, the studio, the long path to its creation, and what people can do with all this raw synth power!"

Meet POLYGENE by LA Priest


video upload by LA Priest



via LA Priest

POLYGENE is an all analog, class A, all-transistor polyphonic synthesizer.

Inspired by the earliest polysynths of the 1970s, it is fully polyphonic (all 24 notes can be played at the same time), can be tuned to any scale or tuning, is multi-timbral and completely touch sensitive.

Touching any part of the synthesizer bridges connections in the circuitry and creates a unique sound.

Every area of the instrument's gold plated circuitry can change its tone. At the top, oscillator transistors can be synchronised by touching them, while below there are 24 pressure sensitive polyphonic pads and at the bottom a 24 note keyboard triggers a more familiar polyphonic synthesizer voice.

All of these can be played simultaneously and there are many more effects of the circuitry to be discovered, as each of the traces react differently to the touch.

12 tuning controls allow you to tune the 12 pairs of oscillators to any scale, from a standard equal tuning to any microtonal, non-western or even unison tuning.

The bottom 3 oscillators can go into the sub-bass range and using the oscillator sync method of bridging the transistors by hand, the bass oscillators can play a wider range of notes.

By using transistors as the only active components in the instrument, each oscillator passes through only a handful of sound shaping components before reaching your ears. Instruments that rely heavily on transistors (like the Minimoog and EMS Synthi for example) are famous for their raw, untamed sound that has much to do with this circuit topology.

The synthesizer is built into a hand-made cedar wood case.

Power supply not included as power supplies vary a lot from country to country but power is standard 9v effects pedal type power. Use a good standard 9v power supply designed for effects pedals.
