"Andeby" - on Roland SH-2000, Technics SX-C600, and drums


video upload by organfairy

"'Andeby' (the Danish name for 'Duckburg') is a modern lullaby by Tommy Seebach. The title comes from the first line that goes something like "the moon shines over Duckburg" and it's basically a father who wishes for his child that she will dream of fairies, princesses, and her friends from Duckburg.

I play it on my well known combo of the Technics organ and the little Roland synthesizer, and there was also a weird drummer lurking in the dark."

Stardate 2381.2 Holodeck Patch | MN-004 Morphagene Computer Fun


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"When you load a collection of Star Trek Enterprise sound effects into a Morphagene reel, it kind of triggers the imagination. I loved watching the original series on TV when I was a kid, and the love never went away. In this video, I imagined a 24th century holodeck simulation of a rare archeologic find, a MakeNoise synthesizer case unit thing. Ofcourse, as a 24th century researcher I needed to try and figure it out, and to fix accuracy issues with the holomatrix. The Enterprise computer has been of great help.

And yes, I used AI to recreate her AI computer voice because Majel Barrett is no longer with us. For me, personally, it's good to hear her voice again. It's functional use, and used with respect. There's no other way to make her say 'modular synthesizer is now off-line'."

Fonitronik PS3100 / Triple Resonant Patch / ODESSA / GRIFFIN'S CLAWS


video upload by BRiES

"I used Griffin's Claws to patch the output of the Fonitronik PS3100 back into itself - the result isn't drastic but rather there's a subtle added resonance because of the feedback.

Edited in early 90s fashion for my pleasure."

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."
