Oberheim TEO-5 “Can’t Sleep” Jam/One Preset/ One Take AMAZING SOUND


video upload by Maria Calfa-DePaul

"Temporarily, the Oberheim is living in my son‘s old bedroom and it’s not really a studio because it’s still like a bedroom, but I do have several synths in there. It’s not the most comfortable to play this one’s on a stand so I had to stand while playing I was really tired, but I really wanted to play this synth and I couldn’t sleep so I thought let me just play for about an hour and this is the very last Song I came up with while I was just continually changing presets till I found something I wanted I wasn’t really in the mood to start fiddling and creating sounds cause as I said it wasn’t really comfortable position, but I did wanna play it so I put my headphones on. I took the outs and put it into this little Momixer into (the original one I have which doesn’t get much use now but it’s still functions pretty well with the iphone ) and I put the iPhone on a Tripod and the way I went Put headphones on and played recorded it one take one patch and then I went to bed"

Moog Muse and the unfortunate case of some mildly dodgy waveforms?


video upload by Tim Shoebridge

"In this video I compare the basic waveforms on my Moog Muse with another Moog synth (a Matriarch) to illustrate some potential issues I am having with my particular unit. Do you have any of the issues I describe? Have you needed to contact Moog support for assistance with your Muse and, if so, what was the outcome? I'd love to hear your experiences."

Update: and a response:

The waveforms on my Moog Muse looks fine to me

"I came across this video by Tim Shoebridge where we showed that on his Moog Muse, the waveforms are all out of whack. I haven't noticed anything of the kind, so I decided to take a look at mine."

BOSS RV-200 Reverb Demo (no talking) with OB-6 Synth: A budget friendly reverb for live performer


video upload by Limbic Bits

"In this video, we’re diving into the BOSS RV-200 Reverb—a budget-friendly pedal that offers a variety of reverb algorithms with solid overall sound quality. It pairs well with synths and features a user-friendly interface, with just enough controls to make it suitable for live performances.

While it may not have the distinct character of pedals like the Strymon BigSky or the UAFX Golden Reverberator, it’s a reliable choice when you need spatial effects that complement the sound rather than dominate it. This would be my recommendation for those searching for a pedal for live use whenever they need an affordable, easy-to-use option with dependable sound quality."

'An Unearthly Choir' on an AJH SYNTH #eurorack Modular Synth System


video upload by AJH Synth Official

"A 3-part/3-voice use of human voice & choir-like sounds performed on a AJH SYNTH RadioPhonic Eurorack modular system. No samples were used, this is purely analogue oscillators, filters, modulation, and a wave form animator one one of the voices.

Whilst the RadioPhonic system was used here, it is of course modular, so these modules can be acquired individually or as part of smaller systems, meaning each part could be achieved using the same modules in your own custom system.

Key MiniMod modules used:
Vintage Transistor Core VCO
Wave Swam
Fixed Filter Bank 914
Transistor Ladder Filter
Sonic XV Diode Ladder Filter

PlantsSystem-MemoryScan


video upload by plantssystem



"Certain voices of the Prophet-5 five-voice polyphony begin to distort unnaturally. The chords are broken down, yet maintain an unstable equilibrium that still retains musical meaning. What becomes clear here is that this glitch is not just noise, but a structure that complements what the Prophet-5 itself could not say.

The sequence is interrupted, and the notes are missing. But these imperfections resonate as fragments of future possibilities. The noise is not a 'foreign object,' but resonates with analog harmonics, bringing to light the contours of broken memories.

The way the glitch noise gradually swallows the sound, with a faint trail of reverberation, is more like a memory sinking to the bottom of deep water than the end of music. The pads lose resolution, the arpeggios freeze at the end of the loop, and all that remains in the end is the faint reverberation of analog noise.

Glitch is not destruction, but a new language that allows the Prophet-5 to continue speaking beyond the break of time.

In this work, 'not sounding right' is not a failure, but another form of musical perfection. 'MemoryScan' is one of the few works in which the memory of the Prophet-5 and the poetics of noise are in perfect harmony."

Minimal House w/ KORG MS-20 Prophet-10, CP-88 | Subversion 2025-05-25 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the KORG ‪@KORG_INC‬ MS-20, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and YAMAHA CP-88—minimal house where an even kick and evolving bass line support electric-piano and synth layers.

MS-20: The bass line is driven via MIDI sequencing, while I manually tweak the filter and pitch-bend.

CP-88: Plays a Wurlitzer electric-piano patch; delay is added in the intro and outro.

Prophet-10: Provides the synth lead."

Mors aliquid novi | A Prophet VS and acoustic 12-string guitar ambient improvisation soundscape


video upload by MIDERA

"Earlier this month I managed to replace the bone saddle in my 12 string guitar. I guess years of messing with the saddle (as well as expansion contraction in the basement gloom) caused it to deteriorate to a point where the strings wouldn't touch it and it sounded horrible. I've had this guitar since 2001, so somewhere around 14 years. It's felt nice to bring it back to that feeling of new, even though it was never well cared for. I just love the feel and sound of it. These videos where I even mention a guitar usually do distinctly awful. I guess the idea of mixing guitar with synths just rubs people the wrong way. But I liked it.
