Yamaha | Reface 10th anniversary | Dom Sigalas
video upload by Yamaha Synths Official
"Dom Sigalas demonstrates the full Yamaha reface lineup at Superbooth 2025 in Berlin, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the series.
From the compact and powerful CS analog-modeling synth to the FM-powered DX, the electric piano-focused CP, and the organ-style YC, the reface instruments offer professional connectivity, portability, and expressive sound design in a compact form factor.
In this demo, Dom explores each model's sonic versatility and performs with the reface CS, highlighting its ease of use, hands-on control, and rich tonal palette."

Description and Demonstration of a Synthesizer Module based on the LM567 Tone Decoder Chip
video upload by ParadisoModular
"This video illustrates and demonstrates a module I recently designed based around the LM567 Tone Decoder IC. I show it in 'musical' action both as a frequency detector as well as an audio effect that transforms an input waveform with a controllable and dynamic subharmonic-prone 'crunch'."

Moog Muse Firmware v1.4 Update
video uploads by Moog Music
Playlist:
1. Muse | New Global Modulation
In this video, we explore how to access the new global modulation options added to Muse's MOD MAP in v1.4 firmware.2. Muse | Per-Timbre Sequencer Probability
Firmware v1.4 introduces a wealth of new modulation options: six new global modulation sources (two global LFOs, two global envelopes, and two global random trigger sources) and 23 new modulation destinations—including the much-requested ability to modulate every delay parameter, down to each individual character function.
These new options exponentially expand the sound design possibilities on Muse, opening the door to entirely new sonic landscapes and microcosms to explore.
In this video, we explore how to use the new per-timbre probability options added to Muse's sequencer in the new v1.4 firmware.3. Muse | Dynamic Chorus
While firmware v1.4 expands Muse's sequencer capabilities in many ways—perhaps the most powerful enhancement is the ability to dial in different generative behaviors per timbre. This enables incredibly deep and detailed methods of introducing probability into your compositions, allowing Muse's sequencer to act as an improvisational partner.
Randomness is a powerful tool for adding surprise and movement to your music, and Muse's sequencer offers a compelling way to incorporate interesting musical twists and turns into your exploration of sound and compositional form.
In this video, we explore how to use some of the new features in Muse firmware version v1.4 to create dynamic chorus and interactive diffusion patches.4. Muse | Fading Modulation
Muse firmware v1.4 allows for modulation of all parameters of the DIFFUSION DELAY using the six new global modulation sources. We first look at how to create a basic chorus sound by using short delay times in the DIFFUSION DELAY and modulating the delay times very gently using the global LFOs.
(Note that PITCH-SHIFT should be selected as the time mode in the DIFFUSION DELAY "More" menu to enable pitch artifacts reminiscent of those found on beloved analog BBD or tape delays.)
We also look at how to integrate Muse’s expressive controls, such as the Mod Wheel, keyboard Aftertouch, and Macro knob to control various parameters of both chorusing and diffusion. A twist on our patch uses the global envelope generators to increase the chorusing rate over the duration of our notes, which will function differently depending on if multi-trig is enabled or disabled for the global envelopes.
In this video, we explore how to use some of the new features in Muse firmware version v1.4 to create modulation routings that fade over the course of a note’s duration.5. Muse | LFO Envelope Mode
Muse firmware v1.4 introduces a handful of new functions to the MOD MAP which allow you to fade in or out a modulation routing over time. We take a modulation routing that uses global LFO 1 to modulate both delay times in the DIFFUSION DELAY and apply the new fade functions to fade the chorus effect over time.
FADE A fades the modulation in from the onset of a note, while FADE D fades modulation out from the start of a note. FADE R sustains the modulation routing for as long as a note is held and then fades it out when notes are released. Finally, FADE AR applies both an attack and release envelope to the modulation, combining our fade in/out behavior into one handy function. For all fading functions, the amount sets the time of the fade from shorter to longer.
In this video, we explore how to use the envelope mode added to Muse's LFOs in the v1.4 firmware.
Firmware v1.4 introduces a bevy of new features to Muse, unlocking countless exciting modulation possibilities. LFO envelope mode is one powerful addition that allows the LFOs to behave more like an envelope.
When you press a key, the LFO will run through a single cycle of its waveform and then pause. When combined with some of the unique user waves found in LFOs 1 and 2 (and now global LFOs 1 and 2, as well), envelope mode enables a wide range of new, key-triggered movements to enhance your sound design experience with Muse.
Augmented Yangtze: Traditional Chinese Instruments plus Synth Engines
video upload by CatSynth TV
"We preset Augmented Yangtze, one of the instrument in the Augmented series from our friends at Arturia. We will go through most of its features, and introduce the traditional Chinese instruments that are at the heart of Yangtze. There are also a variety of synth engines, similar to those found in Pigments, filters, and effects. We will also look at a few of the factory presets."
