Super Lofi Sampling - A Quest For Sonic Destruction - Akai S20 Tape & Koala Sampler


video upload by ChrisLody

"If you'd like to support the channel you can grab a 'Pay What You Want' album from my Bandcamp. https://chrislody.bandcamp.com"

"Just for a bit of fun I thought it would be fun to push lofi sampling to it's logical extremes using a Radio Shack cassette deck I found recently. Confusingly the tape deck is a "Radio Shack TRS-80" which I'm sure is also one of their old computer models so I guess this tape deck was originally designed to work with that computer, maybe even sold with it.

The Akai S20 from '97 has some decent features for reducing sample quality further so we can get into really extreme territory!

There's also a tip for making lo-fi samples on the Koala Sampler too."

First of August (OXI ONE MkII, opsix, multi/poly, wavestate)


video upload by Alec Sea

"First of August was performed live using the Oxi One MkII sequencer, Korg opsix, multi/poly and wavestate synthesizers and Roland TR-6S drum machine. The FM e-piano from opsix is running into the Line 6 HX ONE and Meris Mercury X in series for a lovely wash of reverb. The TR-6S is running into the UAFX Golden in Percussion Plate mode. Multi/poly is using the built in effects. Wavestate is a dry bass sound. There is no post-processing."

Donner Essential L1 Synthesizer Review


video upload by Molten Music Technology

"The Essential L1 is Donner's take on the classic Roland SH-101. They've folded in a few extras and smartened up the interface but how well does do the whole synthesizing thing? Let's have a look."

No Talking, Just Arturia MiniFreak and Dystopia 3 | I Hit Record with No Plan


video upload by ULTIMATE X SOUNDS [ Presets for Synthesizers ]

"I hit record with zero plan, loaded several Dystopia Vol. 3 presets on the Arturia MiniFreak and let the sounds drag me wherever they wanted. At some point I forgot the camera was even rolling; it was just me and the synth. If you’re looking for proof a soundbank has its own pulse, here it is.

Grab any of Dystopia for MiniFreak and see where it takes you:

Oberheim TEO-5 Synthesizer making sounds

7/31/25 EML 200 + Metasonix S-1000 Wretch Machine + SSL 1600 + acRLS


video upload by Cfpp0

"7/31/25 ElectroComp EML 200 + Metasonix S-1000 Wretch Machine + Synthetic Sound Labs 1600 + Analog Craftsman acRLS

It was inevitable. The Metasonix S-1000 Wretch Machine is now in the 6U rack on top of the ElectroComp EML 200 stack. Just to the right of the Metasonix TM-1, TM-1 SE, TM-5, TM-2, TM-7, and Zerosum Inertia Cenotaph. We’ve tried to find a TM-6 to add to the racks for several years now, but to no avail, so why not just put the S-1000 here? Duh. This was a test video, with the EML 200 square wave driving the Synthetic Sound Labs 1600 clock divider, which triggers the S-1000 and drives the EML 200 envelope and the Analog Craftsman acRLS shift register thing, which modulates the S-1000 oscillators, pulser, and filter. Both signals get spring reverb from the EML 200. Sounds like creatures to me."
