Redshift 6 - Bassline Tweak
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"Redshift 6 is a Variable Character Synthesizer with 5 different characters: Liquid, Crisp, Fat, Mean and Sour.
These characters affect how the filter sounds, and using the different characters, the Redshift 6’s filter can act like almost any classic vintage synthesizer filter and beyond. Besides the filter, these characters also affect the various parameters, from envelope shapes to slop between oscillators.
In this demo, you can hear the different characters with various filter cutoff and resonance settings.
0:00 FAT UNISON BASS
0:44 SQR HOUSE BASS
1:25 SQR SUB OSC BASS
2:05 REESE BASS
2:55 DRIVE UNISON BASS
3:39 ACID SQUARE BASS
4:36 FUNKY UNISON BASS
5:09 LFO SQUARE BASS
The audio is a dry signal from the Redshift 6 without any external effects."

Oberheim OB Xa - the monster for deep, fat, dark analog tones
video upload by Sergio Man
"The Oberheim OB-Xa is an absolute monster for deep, fat, dark analog tones—perfect for haunting drones, growling basslines, and eerie pads. Here’s why it stands out:
Why the OB-Xa is Perfect for Dark, Fat Sounds:
🔥 Oscillators – Two massive CEM3340 oscillators per voice, capable of thick detuning, deep PWM, and sinister saw waves.
🔥 Filters – The Curtis low-pass filter (12dB or 24dB) gives it a dark, creamy, and moody resonance. When pushed, it can create growling basses and sinister sweeps.
🔥 Unison Mode – Stacking all voices together creates earth-shaking, monstrous basses.
🔥 LFO Modulation – Slow, deep LFO modulation can bring ominous movement to pads and leads.
🔥 Vintage Drift – Since it's full analog, slight imperfections give it that organic, alive feeling—like a demon breathing in your mix.
Dark Sound Design Ideas:
🔊 Evil Bass – Low-pass filter, resonance at 40%, slight detune, Unison mode.
🌫️ Cinematic Drone – Slow LFO to filter, subtle PWM, a bit of white noise.
🔔 Haunting Bell Pads – High resonance, slow attack, some reverb and delay.
⚡ Aggressive Leads – 24dB filter, medium resonance, quick envelope decay for punch.
Similar Dark & Fat Synths
OB-X8 (2022) – Modern reissue, true to the original OB series.
Sequential Prophet-5/6 – More aggressive and raw, but in a similar analog spirit.
Moog One – Thicker and darker but with a more modern feel."

New Kaleidoscope Mini Desktop Synth Incoming
video uploads by Vadjuse
This one was spotted and sent in via Meska.
Playlist:
1. Teaser. Kaleidoscope mimics a blip blop machine.
2. Teaser 2. Kaleidoscope mimics a boom-tysch machine.
Some raw drums exploration.3. Kaleidoscope. Reload Zone. Post-Apocalyptic Ambient.
In this video I experiment with the generative sequencer of the Kaleidoscope.4. Kaleidoscope. Hypnotic Resonance
The pattern is relatively simple:
1. VCA1 (which means it belongs to track 1) works in a cyclic mode, i.e. it restarts itself.
2. With its end it starts VCA2 (which means it belongs to track 2).
3. VCA2 modulates the period of VCA1, and VCA1 modulates the period of VCA2 (fm synthesis at the rhythm level). Because of this, the length of the pattern wanders a little and creates a pleasant dynamic.
4. Modulation envelope 1 (MODENV1) also works in a cyclic mode and restarts itself, but with a completely different period than the VCA1. This creates an additional rhythmic layer in the overall sound.
5. MODENV1 modulates the wavefolder level of track 2.
6. Track 1 modulates the frequency of track 2, and track 2 modulates the frequency of track 1.
7. All this is seasoned with a comb-filter in delay mode, which creates another rhythmic layer.
The presets for track 1 and track 2 used in this video can be downloaded and loaded into your Kaleidoscope. After the release of the synthesizer, I will publish these and other patches so that you can play with them and modify them yourself.
On the home stretch, Kaleidoscope will be released soon.
On the video new PCB version with
typeC plug
4 channel DAC
improved encoder filtering section
In this video I experiment with a relatively simple patch.
The cyclic modulator changes the symmetry of the triangle wave. From a symmetrical triangle to a saw. This changes the spectrum.
As a result, the filter resonance periodically amplifies individual harmonics. The filter frequency is modulated by the volume envelope.
Since the filter frequencies can be precisely tuned to the MIDI note frequencies, the modulation results in all the natural harmonics of only one octave being cycled through. This makes it seem like there is some kind of sequence in the patch, although in fact there is none - it's just a native process.
At high resonance values, the signal is overloaded in the filter feedback circuit.
The signal is also additionally overloaded in the overdrive block.
All this gets into the comb filter, which works as an echo.
I've been glued to this patch for about a day, which makes me a little sick of it, but I still like it.
