Hermod+ and xp32 goes Braindance

video upload by Stazma

"Finaly managed to shoot a proper thing with the amazing Hermod+ & xp32 combo, by Squarp Instruments. Those two together are an incredible powerhouse of sequencing with many sequencing effects usualy only found in DAW. As it's often called a modular brain I went for something proper braindancy in the vein of my Repeat Eater side project (Analord tribute band you said?).
ALL the sequencing is done from Hermod+, as well as some modulations."

"Other modules used:
Rample by Squarp Intruments on the 808 drums (my own CC808 kit you get on Concrete Collage Bandcamp for free).
x2 810 by System80 on bass & lead
Algo by RYK Modular on FM bass / lead
Envy Machine by RYK for ADSR
Befaco Pico VCF on FM Percussions
x2 Mixswitch from Klavis for mixing
Instruo Seashell on arp"

Creating a New Patch with the Waldorf Iridium Core

video upload by mutech.media.australia

"m-tech's Phil Tucker explores building a custom patch from scratch using the Waldorf Iridium Core. Nothing beats the satisfaction of building your own sound, but these days it's far too easy to just pick one from the list! The Iridum Core is a powerful synth with fantastic features – in this video Phil explores building a sound from a basic sine wave to a juicy pad, saving it, and then finding it again later in the library!"

Shibasaki MOD - Tokyo set song #2

video upload by Arman Bohn

"My synths and device can be found here:
www.distropolisgoods.com

A version of song #2 from my set at Shibasaki MOD in Tokyo, April, 2025.

The Phantasmal Force is sending MIDI clock to the RK-006, which syncs everything.

It starts with GREAT CONJUNCTION playing the motif from the end of song #1, and then I bring in two more sequences (all of which are playing the internal YM2413 FM synth).

The M8 provides some basic percussion, and a bass drone.

The PF is also sending CC LFO messages to GREAT CONJUNCTION to modulate some of the FM parameters for the first sequence.

The Prismatic Spray MKii protoype held together for the show. I use the second half of the song to explore a bytebeat algorithm in stereo.

This song continues the same meter, root and scale as song #1 ... it is basically song 1A.

My guiding principle was - start at A# in 4/4. For each following song, add a beat and move up a half-step chromatically."

He created a hummingbird paradise in his backyard

video upload by The Nature of Things

"Window salesman Eric Pittman's life changed forever the day he noticed a Anna's hummingbird buzzing around his backyard in Esquimalt, B.C. in the summer of 2009.

After a flurry of sharp turns caught his eye, the bird came to rest on the branch of a pear tree. It looked around to check for danger and met Pittman's gaze, yet she seemed unbothered by his presence. Pittman looked closer. Then, two pea-sized black orbs began bobbing up and down. It was a pair of newborn hummingbird chicks. He'd discovered Sweetie Bird (as he later named her) returning to her nest to feed her babies. Overcome with curiosity, Pittman stayed under the tree for the rest of the day, binoculars stuck to his face. He bought a video camera and began filming the bird in his backyard. He hasn't stopped in fourteen years.

Today, Pittman is a citizen scientist and hummingbird expert. But he didn't formally study ornithology, or even any biology. His skill at capturing footage of hummingbird behaviour has earned him 50,000 followers on his "Hummingbirds Up Close" Facebook page, where he shares daily updates. The BBC Natural History Unit has even turned to Pittman as a subject matter expert when they’ve needed to film elusive hummingbirds.

The short documentary The Bird in my Backyard follows Eric throughout the spring of 2024 as he documents two mother hummingbirds raising their chicks. It’s a story about the childlike curiosity in all of us, and the doors it can open if we just lean in a bit closer.

Filmed and Directed by Ryan Wilkes."

5 reasons the Yamaha CS-80 is a Performer’s Dream

video upload by Jose's Vintage Keys

"The Yamaha CS-80 is more than a legendary analog synth — it’s a full-body performance instrument. In this video, we explore five features that made the CS-80 truly ahead of its time: from its expressive polyphonic aftertouch and velocity-sensitive keyboard to its iconic ribbon controller and real-time modulation controls.

Discover how a team of organ engineers created one of the most playable synths in history — and why no modern instrument has fully caught up.

Featuring:
• A deep dive into the CS-80’s unique keyboard and ribbon
• The story behind Crazy Horses and the Yamaha YC-30
• The return of poly aftertouch (finally!) in 2019
• How the CS-80 shaped the sounds of Vangelis, Toto, Springsteen and beyond"

Buchla - MEMS 264 Sequence Distribution For Quad

video upload by DARK SPARKLER

"The MEMS 264 quad sample and hold / polyphonic adaptor distributes a set of quantized notes randomly from the MARF to 4 oscillators. These oscillators are each hard panned to the 4 corners of the room through the 227e. The Nensen Electronics Programmable Pulse Matrix sends probability based pulses to the 264 and the 4 channels of the 281. 4 random voltages feed into the decay inputs on the 281 channels to vary the length of each percussive “hit.” A CV processor, mixed with random and a pulse output from the MARF brings in and out the 277 delay, that also has its delay time randomly bouncing between 2 different settings. The oscillator’s wave shapes are introduced half way through to give 2 saw waves and 2 square waves. Cross frequency modulation between the 4 oscillators randomly turn on and off later into the patch."
