"Luke takes a look at Instruo's miniature marvel, the Seashell, and shows off some of its killer features using the integrated plug-in. He also shows why it's such a great option for a compact live setup.

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #147: Sony DPS-F7 - Song 1

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

A synthesizer from Sony. You might remember the DPS-F7 & other units in the series from this previous post.

This video appears to be the first demo of the Sony DPS-F7 featured on the site.

"This is the first recording with the Sony DPS-F7. As far as I know, it's the only synthesizer ever made by Sony. However, it's only part of the DPS-F7, which can also be a percussion synthesizer, as well as a fading parametric equalizer, dynamic filter, compressor/limiter, sub-harmonic generator, vocoder, and saturator.

The features sound interesting for a monophonic digital synthesizer. It has two oscillators with classic waveforms AND two Karplus-Strong oscillators, which can be routed to any of the four filters (LPF, HPF, BPF1, BPF2). You can optionally connect the HPF and the two BPFs in front of the LPF. Six ADSR envelopes are available as VCAs and VCFs. The (unfortunately) only LFO is permanently linked to the pitch. The audio signal then passes through a stereo delay and a soft clipper.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone."

When Silence Fell

video upload by peter m mahr

"This is the start of a long-held dream — to combine my photos with my music, letting each frame have its own soundtrack.

WHEN SILENCE FELL
A weekend tucked away in the mountains. Two souls meet in solitude, expecting a quiet evening. But sometimes, silence breaks — and words change everything.

When Silence Fell — a moment suspended between shadow and truth. This photo was taken in Toggenburg, Switzerland. The moment I snapped it, I knew right away how it should look — like in an old black-and-white Hitchcock movie.

Let the music and image tell the story you didn’t see coming.

EMS -Synthi E 1975 Vintage Modular Synthesiser demonstration

video upload by Richard Scott

"Just renovated by the excellent Constantin at Portabellabz. It recently came into my position after sitting in a cupboard unheard for decades. It is weird cranky, and the controllers are uh, unpredictable but it certainly has some charm. This is just recorded on my phone using the Synthi's internal speaker. It even runs on batteries,though I haven't tried it yet"

HOME BAKE INSTRUMENTS FM MINT mk2

video upload by HOME BAKE INSTRUMENTS

"FM MINT is a business card-sized FM synthesizer. It is equipped with a sequencer that can store 13 patterns in a 4-polyphonic sound source and an arpeggiator with 8 algorithms. In addition, the mk2 is equipped with LFOs, echoes, and choruses, and the sound quality has been improved and the behavior has been improved."

MUTING MIXER & VCA Jam w/ V-SHAPE wave shaper/folder #eurorack by AJH Synth

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"The V-Shape is a wave-folder/wave-shaping module, and also features a distortion circuit, with full CV control - it can make a single VCO sound a lot more interesting. The Gemini also features here, using both of its 2 VCFs and shared CV control to filter the same input signal separately.

Video & Performance by @DreamsOfWires

The AJH SYNTH Eurorack modular range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.
Official website page: https://ajhsynth.com

Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself."

Knobula - Monumatic. Epic Modular Eurorack Poly Synth!

video upload by The Unperson

"In today's video I am exploring a new module from Knobula called Monumatic. Monumatic is the successor the Poly Cinematic which was one of the first modules to bring polyphony to eurorack. Monumatic is a significant upgrade in pretty much every way. There are more waveforms, more filters, more effects, and most importantly more modulation! Another of my favourite features is that notes will overlap even using using gate and CV to control the module. This means you're not dependant on MIDI to access polyphony. If you'd like more info on this fully polyphonic synthesizer then head on over to:

Future Retro Vectra Prototype with Black/Gold Faceplate SN 0001

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

via this Reverb listing

"One of only 2 known Vectras with an early Black/Gold faceplate which was never put into production. No Black Gold keyboards were ever made as far as I know. These were prototypes. This unit is fully working with all mods and upgrades including a firmware upgrade to version 2. Includes box, packing, manuals, and Universal power supply. The other known unit has purple heartwood endcaps and ALSO features a 001 serial number. These are the only units like this known to exist. Will be double boxed for safe delivery worldwide.

The Vectra is a unique hybrid synthesizer with a flexible architecture that allows many different forms of synthesis to be realized. It’s the best of both worlds… The Vectra utilizes digital oscillators, ring modulators, noise sources, vector mixer, LFO’s, complex envelopes, and modulation routings providing many capabilities that would be very difficult to produce with analog circuitry alone. This allows for accurate tuning, repeatability of complex patches, and patch storage. The Vectra also provides a multi-mode analog filter, VCA, and final output, as these provide the best sonic qualities."
