Vocal Ambient EP ( Liven Ambient 0 + Roland E-4)


video upload by Dylan Ferno

"Making a DAWless experimental Vocal Ambient EP with the Sonicware Liven Ambient Zero and the Roland E4 (Aira Compact)

I've been inspired lately by the Album, Secret Life, by Fred Again and Brian Eno, which is basically just glitchy autotuned vocal mantras over chill piano chords and drones. The album Bad Cameo by Lil Yachty and James Blake was also some inspiration for this one."

Live Electro Set @ SynthFest France 2025 – Manatee Synth in Action


video upload by Fred's Lab

"Here is my 25-minute live set recorded at SynthFest France 2025 in Nantes, performed entirely with Fred's Lab Manatee synthesizer + a PC laptop as MIDI sequencer and to throw the drums & voice samples in.

Direct sound from the Manatee, with a little compression added but no more.

This short set dives into electro, techno, psychedelic vibes, a bit of drum & bass, and many things in between. All synthetic sounds, effects, and mixing were handled live on the Manatee. Just one synth, four multitimbral parts, built-in FX, deep MIDI sequencing options = a ton of potential!

This performance was about pushing the Manatee to its limits and showing how far a single synth can go when it’s designed for performance, experimentation, and musical fun.

Massive thanks to the SynthFest France team for making this event happen and much love to the stage and video crew for capturing the moment and making everything run smooth.

Looking forward to see you all next year!

Fred."

Melbourne Instruments Delia Synth Demo, No Talking.


video upload by Protovolt

"First jam on the Delia from Melbourne Instruments.

Amazing unique synth built like a tank.

The motorized knobs are you God send for synths and recalling setting and presets on the fly seeing exactly where everything is.

The people at the company are great as well."

GS Music e7 - Experiments w/ Multimbrality ft. Source Audio Collider & Digitone


video upload by goth jocks

"I haven’t seen many videos showcasing the multitimbral capabilities of the GS e7, so I figured I’d make one.

Jams 1 & 3 feature sounds only from the e7 (through the Collider). Digitone is only used for sequencing. Jam 2 features Digitone drums & percussion, and the rhythmic bass part. Main bass line is the e7, along with all pad & lead sounds. The Collider is only affecting the e7

All 3 jams feature slightly modified versions of a multitimbral patch I made, so there are some similarities. Variations on a theme if you will

Thanks for listening!"

Vince Clarke's 1st Synth // KAWAI 100F


video upload by Starsky Carr

"A genuine character.. It's fairly rare, and was never a super popular synth - BUT - the Kawai 100F has more than enough tricks up its sleeve to keep things interesting. As well as a wonderful filter its got some weird modulation routings plus a 50Hz LFO which gives us plenty of routes to FM spacey madness.

Most of all though, its got a fabulous raw tone that cuts through a mix and hits you in the chest.

It can't do PWM, in fact you can't even change the pulse shape, it doesn't have pitch or mod wheels, it's pre-MIDI but it has oodles of character.

If you don't want to risk a vintage purchase try the PWM Malevolent or Arturia Minibrute 2"
