ATerribleRide

video upload by Downpoly

"Another creation from the TRS-80s and MIDI80/Orchestra90. Taking it a little slower with this one, introducing a little more wah into the mix to give a spooky vibe. Did you ever take a ride you knew was a bad idea?

'ATerribleRide' takes you on a sonic journey through the interplay of vintage technology and modern production techniques. Created using TRS-80 Model 4 computers with Orchestra-90 and MIDI-80 accessories, the track emanates an organic electronic soundscape that's both intricate and evocative.

The song features rhythmic pulses reminiscent of classic chiptune music but evolves into a layered composition enriched with dynamic timbres and harmonic progressions. The lo-fi charm of the TRS-80 hardware is seamlessly intertwined with polished, modern effects, giving the track a unique balance of retro grit and contemporary clarity. Listeners will experience a haunting, almost cinematic narrative, where the analog textures of yesteryear meet the precision of today’s music gear. It’s a vivid, experimental piece that encapsulates innovation while paying homage to the pioneers of electronic sound.

As always, no electric guitars or basses were hurt during the making of this film haha! Just a bunch of TRS-80s sharing the light with some retro synth tunes! Check out the other videos if this is not your style, and thanks for watching!

Gravity Falls // Opening Theme Song [SYNTHWAVE COVER]

video upload by Amie Waters

"I have been watching Gravity Falls with my kid and I absolutely love this show and I am sad I slept on it for so long. What a wonderful cartoon with an amazing theme! Huge shout out to Alex Hirsch for dreaming up such a wonderfully odd show!

For those who will inevitably ask, the gameboy was programmed and then the video and audio were reversed to create the effect you here."

Modular perc generation with the UNDULA OSCILLATOR

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"The Dual undula Oscillator is a complexe oscillator, yes.
It can be a complete synth voice too, yes.
(And more…)

And it can be used as a perc generator. For very good kick drum sounds.
Thanks to the VCO topology, it can be used as a VCF, and so: 'pingable' !

Here some examples.

The module is available on our website only:
