Donner Essential L1 Synthesizer (multitracked sound examples)
video upload by Floyd Steinberg
"Here's my take on the #donnermusic #donnerl1 L1 Synthesizer. The L1 is Donner's take on the classic SH 101 synth, but it has some modern extras. Here, I'm showing some dry sounds and also some that were somewhat processed in a DAW. Table of contents:
00:00 hi, what is this?
00:12 what's in the parcel? / hardware overview
01:58 example 1: a punchy bass
02:54 a brassy lead
03:30 a sparkly arpeggiator sound / demo
04:00 all those tracks combined (dry)
04:24 all those tracks combined, but full DAW treatment (reverb, compressors...)
05:19 demo track 2: using the sequencer to create a bass line, drum patterns and so on (full DAW treatment)
08:29 conclusion
08:59 frequency sweep (example)
09:09 sound of warm air decompression ;-)
09:17 flute-like arpeggiator demo
11:36 summary, bye"

Donner L1 Essential // A New Take on The SH101
video upload by Starsky Carr
Additional Donner L1 posts.
"Well this was a surprise... and what a pleasant surprise it is!! The DonnerMusic Essential L1 is an analog synth based around the vintage Roland SH101 with a few modern extras and additional functions, like an extra ADSR envelope, triangle wave, syncable LFO and storage for 128 64 step sequences.
Here I demo it paired with the Donner KB 32M magnetic keyboard which simply clips on and works a treat. So you have the option of a desktop unit or a full synth."

It's always interesting how a rhythm seems to be out of place until it fully kicks in.
U.D.O SUPER GEMINI SOLO SYNTHS

"U.D.O is a very delicate synths, you can layer 'everything' and it'll sounds perfect! @udo_audio"
U.D.O SUPER GEMINI the HORROR
video upload by elz production
"One of the most joyful aspects of Gemini is seeing and hearing the dual features work with one another on each keyboard layer, so with the arpeggiator, for example, you can set an independent one for each layer, with different patterns and timings but they sync together so don’t sound out of place."
XTRIKE - my 3rd oscillator is a SH-101
video upload by Mad Synth Engineer
"XTRIKE is Multitimbral. By using the loop machine via MIDI, the looper actually becomes a 3rd oscillator. Here, I'm sampling a Roland SH-101 and layering it on top of XTRIKE's internal synth. Play everything via MIDI and precisely tuning it."

Ambient Improvisation w/ OP-1 field, YAMAHA CS01 After the rain 2025-07-18 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece for @teenageengineering OP-1 field and YAMAHA CS01, where two modest voices gently intertwine into a calm ambient soundscape.
OP-1 field: Records a simple harmonic bed, then overdubs melodic phrases on top. The master effect is MOTHER, adding spacious reverb.
CS01: Played with slow attack and extended release; @strymon NIGHTSKY’s INFINITE is engaged to create a continuous drone while the filter is slowly swept."
