GND slow moves
video upload by Todd Barton
"In order to better understand, feel and hear the nonlinearity inherent in this amazing system I used just the Compact Oscillator Network (CON) and made two experiments: 1) slowly turning the Map Select from maximum to minimum 2) slowly sliding the f(C) slider from minimum to maximum. All sounds, effects and spatialization coming solely from the CON.

video upload by synthpro
"Hey Guys,
This is a video I made during the repair and service of the rare Cordovox CDX organ which featured the Moog Satellite. These are sometimes better known as the Moog White Elephant. I take you through a tour of the inside of this beast as well as give you a demo of the type of sound this instrument produces.
Note: weighed the unit after the video and it weighs in at 76lbs or 34.47Kg
Thanks for watching!
Sincerely,
Jareth"

"Rare 1998 MIDI drum machine uniquely modified to massively extend the sound design possibilities with three pre-set effects switches and a custom 25 point modulation patch bay. These modifications generate an array of original sounds, effects and rhythmic variations. Making a single connection on the patch matrix can dramatically alter the output but applying multiple connections produces an increasingly complex, sometimes aleatoric range of grinding, metallic, fractured, reversed, tonal, bit crushed, flanged, distorted, aliasing and delayed effects, arcade sounds and digital noise, alternative rhythmic patterns and additional accents. The five included patch cables can also be stacked for further sonic manipulation.
The unit functions as normal when the patch is not in use.
2 x on board speakers + 1/4" stereo output.
MIDI In, Out.
7 velocity sensitive drum pads.
75 sounds, 20 drum kits.
100 songs/ bass backing.
Custom song feature.
Reverb effect.
Dimensions: 552 mm x 348 mm x 136 mm."

Roland Introduces Mood Pan Electronic Hand Pan Percussion Instrument and Speaker System
video uploads by Roland | ローランド
Press release follows:




Los Angeles, CA, June 24, 2025 — Roland introduces Mood Pan, a unique electronic hand percussion instrument that encourages anyone to discover the restorative power of music. Inspired by acoustic handpans, Mood Pan features tranquil tones and a simple design requiring no previous musical skills. Along with providing immersive audio for the onboard sounds, its built-in 2.1 speaker system can also play soothing background music and stream Bluetooth audio from mobile devices.
Mood Pan is made for mindful people and modern musicians seeking a versatile and expressive new instrument. It blends the soulful resonance of acoustic handpans with multiple sound variations and other flexible features made possible with Roland’s advanced percussion technology. While many musical instruments require learning and skill development, Mood Pan can be enjoyed by everyone, with no experience or special technique necessary.
The electronic design of Mood Pan offers many benefits over traditional handpans. Users can explore different instruments and tunings, enhance sounds with onboard effects, and silence the onboard speaker by plugging in headphones for quiet solo sessions.
Mood Pan can be placed on the user’s lap or a tabletop. The instrument is played with finger taps, and its nine pads can be assigned to different musical scales, making it impossible to hit a wrong note. It’s also possible to tap the sides with the palms to create percussive sounds and resonant tonalities, mute sounds with a touch, and use a special control pad to add expressive colors to certain tones.
Selectable sounds include handpan and other acoustic percussion such as tongue drum, gamelan, crystal bowl, and singing bowl. There’s also a sitar voice, orchestral strings, synth pad tones, and four user locations with selectable sound variations.
Mood Pan offers environmental music and nature sounds, along with four modes to play soft soundtracks for mornings, evenings, relaxing, and yoga sessions. It also doubles as a high-quality Bluetooth speaker for streaming music from a smartphone or tablet.
The Mood Pan Plus app is the perfect partner to extend the Mood Pan experience. Users can adjust the onboard sounds, choose different environmental sounds and effects, and fine-tune the pad sensitivity. The app also includes additional sounds for loading into Mood Pan’s four onboard user locations.
Availability & Pricing
The Mood Pan is available for USD $659.99.

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.
