70s/80s Horror Vintage Synth Jam #3! #synthesizer #synth #synthwave #elkasynthex #loganvocalist


video upload by Reuben Jones

"Some more 70s/80s horror synth music inspired by the likes of Goblin and the more contempary Zombi. I made this track for my Logan Vocalist demo [posted here] but I thought I'd upload it separately. Ignore the drumsticks, I had to correct some errors and timing issues. I'm not sure why I decided to use them!

FlatSix Modular - Arp Of Darkness


video uploads by FlatSix Modular



'Arp Of Darkness'
Nocturne Alchemy Platform - Free Swappable Firmwares
The Arp Of Darkness is an arpeggiator with a unique twist: It's designed to create dynamic and evolving note sequences by utilizing a buffer approach similar to a Turing Machine or Shift Register.
Unlike traditional arpeggiators, which typically play chords as individual notes in a predefined pattern, this
module allows you to enter notes sequentially into a buffer of variable length, (from 3 up to 16 notes) and play it back using 6 playback modes more commonly found in arpeggiators. (Forward, Backward, Exclusive Pingpong, Inclusive Pingpong, Golden Ratio, and Random).
Height: 1U (Intellijel format)
Width: 26HP
Depth: 40mm ("Skiff-friendly")
4 octaves of control from C0 to C4
6 note buffer lengths (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 16)
6 playback modes (Forward, Backward, Exclu Pingpong, Inclu Pingpong, Golden Ratio and Random) with cyclce select, direct select, (queued & immediate) and reset
Clock input and CV out calibrated to 1V/0
Calibration mode with tuning for each note across 4 octaves (Comes pre-calibrated)

FlatSix Modular - Seventh Summoner


video uploads by FlatSix Modular

"Introducing the Seventh Summoner - a 1U eurorack performance sequencer with a unique twist!" Flat 6 Seventh Summoner and Arp of Darkness Jam

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Seventh Summoner is the third firmware from Flat 6 running their fabulous 1U keyboard module. This one is a sequencer with up to 32 steps, different play modes and the saving of up to 6 sequences. I've paired it with the Knob Technology ηCarinae, through the Replicant Filter and into Echo Cinematic. The ARP of Darkness, meanwhile, is playing the Castor & Pollux II through the Foxtrot Duo filter and into an Erica stereo delay.

That's it! I think I've found my sequencer combo for live performance."



'Seventh Summoner' (Black)
Nocturne Alchemy Platform - Free Swappable Firmwares
The Seventh Summoner is a powerful 1U performance sequencer that brings the flexibility of a full-featured sequencer into a compact form. At its core, it’s designed for real-time performance, giving you the ability to recall and manipulate up to six 32-note sequences on the fly. Adjust playback direction, slew, octave, note transposition, and clock division in real-time to craft evolving musical expressions.

And then, there is the Summoner... With the Summoner Sequence, you can record these same dynamic manipulations into a meta-sequencing layer. Chain up to 16 of your sequences, complete with all your adjustments, and watch them come to life like spirits in the grasp of a master Summoner.
Height: 1U (Intellijel format)
Width: 26HP
Depth: 40mm ("Skiff-friendly")
Current Draw: 40 mA +12V, 0 mA -12V, 0 mA 5V
Four octaves of control from C0 to C4

Sonicware LIVEN Ambient Ø and Prophet Rev2 | Dreamy ambient experimentation [NO TALK]


video upload by Le Code

"Two worlds meet for an ambient improvisation: on the one hand, Sonicware's LIVEN Ambient Ø plays random notes, and on the other, the soundscape pads played by Sequential's Prophet Rev2. With these two machines, it's possible to create rather convincing soundscapes, perhaps with the addition of extra effects on the LIVEN Ambient Ø, which sounds a little dry here."

"SEQUENTIAL Prophet-5, YAMAHA CS-10, and Korg iWavestation were used to create FireDance.

The sequence bounces Rozeta MIDI to the KAWAI Q80."

Background Modulars No.7 - Buchla 200


video upload by Memetune Studio

"Don’t have a Buchla 200 to hand? No worries! Just put this video on in the background (in full-screen mode), and have the next best thing 😁

Here is 10 minutes of self-playing modular synthesiser randomness. Why not put it on loop - then you can have it bubbling away in the background while you do other things. Or maybe check out the playlist I have made with all the Background Modular Series videos: [playlist below]

A note on the patch. A 281 provides the clock for the whole thing, firstly making the percussion noises which sound a bit like fireworks going off. Then the clock runs the MARF which is providing the slow notes underneath. These are in stereo, all being moved about with random generators. There's two delays in there (288 and 277), and the Spectral Processor too. Its a bit hard to remember what I did because I kind of just kept patching until I ran out of Bananas ( I've got more, but they are being used on the Serge for something else)

Enjoy!"

Moog Liberation - some kind of "techno" jam


video upload by Franz Kreimer Keys

"This is a short jam with my Moog Liberation Keytar. It's much more than a monophonic Moog!

Have fun with keyboards!

Watch my Video about this fantastic machine:"

Moog Liberation 1981 - more than a Keytar!

video upload by Franz Kreimer Keys

Click CC in the player controls, bottom right for subtitles.

"This Video is about and for the Moog Liberation from 1981. It's the first Keytar - but with about 6,5 kg not really a lightweight. There are so many features in this Analogsynthesizer!!!
Don't miss to see how many different sounds you can make with this Synthesizer.
Have fun with Keyboards!"
