MPC X Session: Stage EP, Organ, Fabric XL, and Yamaha YC

video upload by Retrothusiast

"Join me as I dive into a bluesy rock ballad created entirely on the MPC X SE! Starting with the Soulful Rhodes patch on the Yamaha YC, I built out the track using the Stage E' for electric piano, added layers of the Organ plugin, and wrapped it all up with a punchy bass line on Fabric XL. Watch as this song idea comes to life, showcasing the power and versatility of the MPC X SE.

Behringer Model 15: 50 Experimental Patches. No Talking Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Welcome to the soundset for the semi-modular synthesizer Behringer Model 15. "Explorer" is a collection of 50 experimental yet usable patches: 12 Leads, 10 Basses, 9 Plucks, 10 Arps, 6 Drones, and 3 Chords.
💾 This soundset offers aggressive, bright, detuned, freaky, noisy, atonal, metallic, generative, evolving, and rhythmic timbres. It stands in contrast to my previous release, "Analog Classics," where I focused on more regular, basic, and classical timbres.
In the "Explorer" bank of presets, I aimed to dive deeper into the modular nature of the Model 15, pushing its boundaries to achieve the most interesting and exciting results.

📦 Get this soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/behr...

🎨 Some timbres are designed to take the lead in a track or jam session, while others work perfectly as complementary elements. While the patches are ready to use as they are, I highly recommend tweaking the knobs during your performance to further develop the sound and enhance your creative experience.

🥁 These presets are versatile and suitable for a wide range of genres, including ambient, electronica, IDM, deep techno, house, progressive, trance, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, cinematic, breaks, synthwave, retrowave, dub, and more.

📚 The soundset is provided as a PDF document, with each page containing detailed notes that explain how each patch works, which parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to evolve the timbre during a performance. By following these notes and making adjustments consciously, you’ll not only get the most out of the patches but also gain a deeper understanding of the synth itself, uncovering its full potential and creative depth.

🎧 Each patch comes with an audio example to help you understand how the timbre is intended to sound, making it easier to integrate into your productions.
To recreate these patches, you will need up to 8 patch cables.

💡 I added pads and drum loops for the video demo to place the presets in a musical context.
These drums and pads are not included in the soundset. I added third-party delay and reverb to the video demo."

Soviet Synth Combo 🎹

My four soviet synths in one track 🎹
The title called ~Newski Prospekt~ ✨

The track are made with the following gear:
Formanta Polivoks (1982)
Rodina Alisa 1377 (1985)
RMIF Opus (1986)
Elektronika EM-26 (1992)

The Nevsky Prospekt (Невский проспект) is a 4.5-kilometre-long street in the historic center of Saint Petersburg and one of the most famous streets in the world. The street was laid out between 1711 and 1721 as a link between the Admiralty in the west and the Alexander Nevsky Monastery in the east of the city. From the middle of the 18th century, it increasingly developed into a boulevard as the numerous local aristocrats had their residences built here. I have walked along this street several times myself and have always been impressed by its beauty and vibrancy. The street is the heart of the city. And Saint Petersburg is deeply rooted in my heart.

The video sequences and street ambience are made by my friend Natalja Smirnowa in january 2025"
