SERGE INORI // Saigon 1975

video upload by Dexba

"50 years since the end of the war that showed the world how foolish wars are.

It's not a regional thing, it's not a sporadic thing: it's the core nature of war, that, finally, people were able to see towards the end of the Vietnam War.

When the plot gets so lost nobody even knows where they are going, who they are really fighting, what and why they are fighting, the blind brutality of the conflict becomes finally clear: the war for the war's sake.

This piece is an expressionist recording of the overstimulating nature of an armed conflict – there are helicopters, indistinctly passing by and falling, monkeys (who maybe were once humans?) screaming from the jungle, there is warfare, and it's relentless.

A quick note on the instrument: without my SERGE system, I would have never recorded this piece. It's hard to state if it came first the egg of wanting to record this genre of music or the chicken of my 4U modular, but the only unequivocal is that, to me, Serge means first and foremost an artistic legacy, and without even naming names, I always felt the pressure to make my time spent with the instrument worth a bit more than the quick enjoyment of some electronic strumming.

The freedom of the highest latitude of exploration possible with a SERGE instrument is what made it possible, having the confidence that my creativity, and my skills, were the only limiting factors in the equation, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to do this and share it with all of you."

ULT-SOUND Introduces DS-4M ProMuzer

Short Demo: Polyphonic Mode video upload by Freaky Tweaky

"I tried out the ULT-SOUND DS-4M ProMuzer, which is scheduled to be released in June.

The newly added Polyphonic Mode assigns voices using the round robin method, just like a typical polysynth, so by varying the settings of each OSC appropriately, you can enjoy kaleidoscope-like changes even with simple phrases. ✨ (Granular, Reverse, and Reverb are added in the DAW as post-effects)"

Check in with dealers on the right for upcoming availability. Note this is the ProMuzer version. A few non ProMuzer versions have shown up on Reverb in previous posts here.

"Introducing the Ult-Sound DS-4M ProMuzer, a modern reissue of Toyo Gakki's DS-4 analog drum synthesizer, available in a limited edition of only 50 units. This exclusive release features a sleek new design with a custom white front panel and black lettering, blending vintage charm with modern aesthetics. The DS-4M ProMuzer faithfully reproduces the second iteration of the ULT-SOUND DS-4 - while incorporating innovative upgrades to meet contemporary music production needs.

Some features of the original DS-4 have been retained in this reissue, and we highlight them here for those unfamiliar with the original design:

Introducing the limited edition Infinite Digits Pikocore XL DIY kit by Erica Synths.

video upload by Erica Synths

"The Pikocore is a lo-fi music mangler based on the Raspberry Pi, developed by Zack Scholl. The original DIY kit comes in a miniature pocket calculator formfactor, but we at Erica Synths wanted to make it more playable, so we reached out to Zack and developed Pikocore XL version that has identical functionality, but comes in Erica Synths signature hands on user interface and proper aluminum enclosure. Infinite Digits Pikocore XL by Erica Synths is a full DIY kit that includes all components to build an instrument and put in in action straight away."

Vangelis The Bounty Theme ~ Vintage Synthesizer Cover

❤️ Support #RetroSound channel: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com

My favorite theme made by Vangelis
The Bounty (Closing Titles) by Vangelis from the album The Bounty (1984)

Featured the E-MU Emax SE sampling synthesizer

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.

My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."
