Battery Powered Techno- Polyend Synth/Roland T8/S1/J6/TR6S.
video upload by Luke Neptune
"I can't figure out how to sync the TR6s to the little compact synths so I went old school and tempo synced like a vinyl DJ :D
These little Aira synths are incredibly inspiring and fun to use. I (almost) feel like coming out of retirement to do some live work (But I won't )

Powerhouse Eurorack Quad Delay & Looping // 3 Patches with Samarkanda from XAOC Devices
video upload by DivKid
"Here’s Samarkanda from XAOC Devices which is a real powerhouse, monster (insert other big buzz words) delay and looper in a whopping 42hp Eurorack module. Each channel offers from 0.5ms up to 15 seconds of delay or looping, with various behaviours, reverse options, lots of CV modulation and you have options to link channels to extend up to 60 seconds of buffer time. Whether working in quad series or parallel chains, create ping pongs, short delay chorus, flanger or karplus strong pitch tracking resonators there’s truly LOADS of ways to use this."

Ambient w/ norns, grid, OP-1field | Without knowing dawn has broken 2025-03-25 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created using monome norns shield, grid, and @teenageengineering OP‑1 field. It’s an ambient work where melodic drone textures blend with noise.
On the Norns Shield, I launch the 'sines' engine and perform by adding and removing layers via Grid. The output is processed through @gfisys SPECULAR TEMPUS for reverb and delay.
On the OP‑1 field, I apply bit‑reduction with the TERMINAL effect and use @HologramElectronics MICROCOSM for looping and additional reverb."

"Here's a resonant bass patch on the Ample Synthesizer, where cutoff is being modulated via the touch pad IG, where values are pre-set to certain levels. The touch pads can control any parameter 'pinned' to them.
Check out our Ample Playlist for more demonstrations of this amazingly versatile synth!"
Roland V-Synth - variphrase - sequenced filter - MikeSynth
video upload by Mikus Pilatus
"While I like the machine , I feel the variphrase ‘sounds’ better on VP9000 (despite its lack of synth functionality) Editing samples is also much easier on 9000.
Still a great machine tho"

Introducing Samarkanda 1953 Resampling Delay Performance Station by Xaoc Devices
video upload by Xaoc Devices




"Meet the lovely Samarkanda - a monster of a delay with unlimited potential
Xaoc Devices Samarkanda is a digital quad delay module with extensive patching capabilities and a lot of flexibility for signal mangling. It can be used as four entirely independent delays, a dual stereo delay, a complex/multi-tap or multi-channel delay, a quad/polyphonic resonator, a dual chorus, a dual flanger reverb, a looper (with sound on sound!), and a granulator, or any combination of those. You can reverse the delayed signal, hold it, squeeze and stretch it beyond all recognition and still go back to the original piece of audio captured in the buffer! The internal lossless normalization (the signal doesn't leave the digital domain) combined with top-notch components (including 24-bit AKM converters and 32-bit internal processing) are responsible for high sound quality. Samarkanda has been conceived in the truly modular spirit. Not only can you control almost all its features remotely with CV/gates, but the external feedback path gives you the opportunity to process the delayed signal with other modules.
Samarkanda offers a wide range of delay times beginning at a mere 0.5ms and reaching up to 15 seconds per channel. That means that, by stacking its four channels, you can achieve up to one minute delay! There are two operating modes switchable individually for each channel. Analog delivers pitch changes that resemble classic analog tape and BBD delays. When you combine it with the looping Hold function, you can play Samarkanda with any 1v/octave CV source - using the Sync function you can even loop single wave cycles. The Digital mode gives you a granular buffer-scrubbing effect (no pitch change) across the whole delay time range. You can seamlessly switch back and forth between modes without losing any information. You can use Samarkanda for multiple tasks at the same time - from four independent delay lines through any combination of channels processing the same signal up to a quad behemoth. You can also use the linking feature for ease of operation (the first channel in the chain acts as the main control source for the others).
As most settings operate on a per-channel basis, you can freely combine different features (such as analog/digital behaviour, delay time range, reverse and hold functions, etc.) in a configuration of your choosing. You can synchronize each of its channels separately to a different source, either via the Sync input, or by using the tap-tempo functionality (with multiplication and division galore). Should you ever get lost, the Purge button comes in handy when/if things start to spiral out of control!
Notable features:
Quadruple resampling delay
Lossless chaining of sections
Delay range of 0.5ms to 15 seconds per channel for a total of 60 seconds when stacked
Analog (tape-like) and digital (granular) sweep behaviours
Continuous, synced, and tap-tempo operation

Buffer freezing and 1V/oct loop playback control
Reverse delay effect
Multiple options for coupling channels
width 42HP
