"The Elka Wilgamat was an accompaniment unit intended as an add-on to some of Elka's organ line and also as a standalone unit with dedicated 2 octave keyboard. It consists of a rhythm unit, a bass section and a chord section. All sounds are of course fully analog. It is very similar in features and sound to the Godwin Drummaker, Wersi Wersimatic WM24, Elgam Carousel or Böhm Böhmat. If you don't know these units check the video I made with a different unit. [previously posted here] Unit was serviced and is in fully working order. It comes with a custom DIY keyboard and cable. Cosmetic the unit has some scuffs mainly on the case but overall looks very nice."

Sequencer: Ableton Air https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
Delay: Shoegazer Reverse Gate https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store... "Ableton Air
Inspired by Timeless Techniques
'Air' draws its inspiration from Brian Eno's Music for Airports and the concept of overlapping tape loops. This Ableton Max for Live plugin translates these ideas into a modern generative sequencer, enabling you to explore infinite musical possibilities without repetitive programming.

Effortless Note Generation
Forget the constraints of the piano roll. 'Air' generates notes autonomously, creating endless variations of melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. Your music becomes a living, breathing entity that evolves over time, making each moment unique.

Perfect for Experimental and Ambient Music
Whether you're crafting immersive ambient soundscapes, exploring experimental electronica, or composing intricate minimal music, 'Air' provides the tools to elevate your creativity. Its generative approach ensures that no two performances are ever the same, offering a fresh perspective with every playback.

Features Designed for Limitless Inspiration
Evolving Sequences: Generate infinitely unique patterns that never repeat.
Customizable Settings: Fine-tune parameters to align with your artistic vision.
Seamless Integration: Designed for Ableton Live users who value creativity and experimentation.

Create Music That Breathes
'Air' is more than a plugin—it's a partner in creation, designed for musicians who embrace unpredictability and seek to push boundaries. Unleash the power of generative composition and let your music take flight."

Hypnotic Vhikk X OP-XY synth album | Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drone


video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synth album for your workday, performed on a small setup.

00:00 - Relatively abstemious
07:21 - Occulta semina
13:39 - Trees under Venice
22:15 - Anthropodenial
25:38 - Walsham

Buy the album here:



Sometimes you try something so inspiring that you have to record everything you can from it, as fast as you can. SKETCHES FOR MY SWEETHEART THE DRONE is a collection of songs all recorded live within a 48-hour period.

For all songs, it's the same hardware setup: the FORGE TME Vhikk X (our titular drone) with Teenage Engineering OP-XY (drums, bass, and synth). The goal was to keep the songs simple, hypnotic, and most of the synth parts are played live over simple drum and bass sequences.

The end result is (I hope) a simmering background album, perfect for your work, emails, reading, or otherwise living your life. Thanks for listening."

An Experimental Groove Box: Herbs And Stones Mousse


video upload by HAINBACH

"Herbs And Stones Mousse is a cool oddball groove box: it looks stylish, sounds rich and is fun to play. Mousse and me had quiet the journey together though, as I became an unintentional beta tester. I put various pre-production units through their paces until Herbs and Stones arrived at a solid production unit. In this video I show the process that started in November and ended just now at the end of March. Use the chapters to jump to sound demos, patching tips, and my final thoughts."

Analogue Solutions TC5000 Synthesizer: "Drenched Sweeper" Sequence No. 301


video upload by Analogue Solutions

"Here’s a new sequence, 'Drenched Sweeper' from the Analogue Solutions #TC5000 Patch Pin Matrix Synthesizer—recorded with no external instrumentation, FX, or processing.

With the TC5000’s vast sonic range, no single video can fully showcase its capabilities. We’ll share more sequences to highlight different aspects of its sound design potential.

About the Patch:

The TC5000's pin matrix provides extensive routing options, allowing for highly intricate and dynamic patches. A single pin can introduce subtle nuances or completely transform the sound.

In fact, the complexity of just one patch could warrant an entire essay!

This sequence features multiple waveforms from 3 oscillators, 2 filter types, Dual EG module 5012, Sequencer, and the Preset Voltage module 5052 (randomized with noise), along with the Mix-Sequencer module 5100 (providing the pulsating effect) -- this module is essentially two 4-input mixers. The channels, however, can be muted/switched on/off in the sequencer, in time to either an internal or external clock."
