Introducing Halogen FM by GForce Software

video upload by GForce Software

"FM synthesis is notoriously difficult to program — complex, technical, and often unintuitive. Halogen FM changes that. We built it to remove the barriers that have kept so many from exploring the raw, expressive power of FM.

Instead of diving into confusing algorithms or endless parameters, Halogen invites you to discover sound through play. It’s a generative instrument that responds to instinct, not instruction — giving you evolving textures, organic tones, and sonic surprises without requiring deep synth knowledge.

Halogen FM lets everyone tap into the beauty and unpredictability of FM synthesis — whether you’re a seasoned producer or just curious. Your ears lead the way, and happy accidents are part of the design.

video upload by Arturia

"Join us in Sardinia with Daniela Pes as she reveals her creative process, live setup and sources of inspiration. We also got to experience a live performance using the MiniFreak Vocoder alongside MicroFreak, where vocal transformation seamlessly blends with deep, evolving textures. Daniela has a unique artistic voice that interweaves local tradition, sound and intuition in real time.

We gratefully acknowledge Tanca Records / tancarecords and Trovarobato / trovarobato for their generous support.

We also thank LandWorks / landworks.official and Miniera Argentiera"

PinkPantheress vs Underworld (Circuit Tracks Mashup Remix)

video upload by Guinan

"Time for a bonus extra upload. The remix nobody asked for! (I dropped enough hints but nobody took the bait). I couldn't resist doing a version of this song that brought the Underworld version of 'Dark&Long (Dark Train)' with PinkPantheress' 'Illegal'.

Hopefully all previous glitches with the music are sorted and you can enjoy this version. It was programmed and played on just a single Novation Circuit Tracks. If you'd like more details as to how the track was put together check out the videos for the two component parts,"

"Rare and interesting physical modeling rackmounted synthesizer. We did some very minor servicing and thoroughly tested and played this unit and everything appears to be working as it should. Please check with us before attempting to buy it to make sure it's still available as we originally bought it for our studio and may have changed our mind about selling it if it doesn't sell fast."

Additional Tone Tweakers Listings

"This unit has been professionally refurbished and had the following work done to it, requiring 11 hours of highly skilled vintage tech time plus parts costs to make this unit better and probably more costly than others on the market.

-Cleaned unit inside and out.
-Replaced all tact switches with new ones so all buttons work reliably, with a light touch.
-Replaced original display with a new one that's easier to read under all lighting.
-Replaced original slide pot with a perfectly working new one.
-Cleaned rotary pots.
-Replaced battery with a new one.
-Recapped power supply as a preventative measure so this unit hopefully outlasts others.
-Replaced terminals for ground wire (x8) PT (x5) (Another preventative measure)
-Cleaned key contacts.
-Replaced aftertouch sensor with new one, which is usually necessary.
-Performed multiple burn in tests.
-Verified that all functions are working properly."

Emu Emulator II+ Restored 80s Sampler Keyboard Synthesizer SN 2031

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

Additional Tone Tweakers Listings

"This unit has been fully serviced to make it better than the rest, a process that cost us 22 hours of highly skilled and valuable tech time. The result is a professionally overhauled instrument that's fully functioning and is ready to play, unlike most, and is justifiably more costly than lesser examples. Depeche Mode used this model sampler heavily to create its signature sound in the 80s.

Our tech did the following work to this item:

Fuse holder replaced.
2 molex connectors terminals were replaced.
Memory tested, all tests passed.
Front panel membrane sheets removed and replaced.
Power supply recapped.
Replaced defective floppy drive with a serviced one.
Replaced 1/4” jack nuts and washers.
Cleaned key contacts.
Replaced backlight with new one.
Multiple burn in tests performed, all tests passed.

Note: These originally left the factory with 6 rubber feet. The one that would normally be found in the back left corner is missing, but thanks to the 5 others, this is a non-issue as it's perfectly stable the way it is. We normally would have just replaced it, but this isn't the fast and easy process it is on most other gear. We can pay our tech to do it though if it matters to you - please contact us for a quote.

This EII is the PLUS version, with maximum memory (17.6 seconds max sampling time)."

Another rendition of Corridors of Time, using a new PiMT32

video upload by MIDI IN

"This video is for embedding in the product listing for my new Pi HAT which you can see in the video. I designed it to be the way that I wanted - with he 2-button/rotary encoder configuration, just MIDI in and a cover plate to neaten things off.

I'm a little unclear about the authorship of Corridors of Time, I believed it was composed by Autumn Altair (the source of the MIDI that I'm playing here) since it appears on Echoes on Stone Walls which I believed to be original compositions. But I see that it may be by Yasunori Mitsuda. Either way it's beautiful."
