Stylophone Gen X-2 - Full Demo, CV Control, Integration with Eurorack, and more!


video upload by Oscillator Sink

"The Dubreq Stylophone Gen X-2 is here! I was always a big fan of the original Gen X-1 and the good news is that Dubreq have kept all the good stuff and added some "quality of life" upgrades as well as useful new CV features that help it integrate with other instruments.

This video is a full demo and exploration of the new features, with a focus on looking at those new CV features, integrating it with Eurorack and other instruments

Transparency Notice: Dubreq kindly provided the Stylophone to me for the purposes of making videos about it. I did not otherwise get paid, but I do get to keep the Stylophone for myself.

Behringer Syncussion SY-1 Analog Drum Patches + Samples Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"🥁 Analog Drums is a collection of 50 patches for the analog drum synthesizer Behringer Syncussion SY-1, featuring 12 Kicks, 8 Snares, 10 Toms, 6 Cymbals, 6 FX, and 8 Percussion sounds.
🔮 This soundset was born from an exploration of this retro-style drum synthesizer, crafting everything from classic, production-ready tones to more experimental percussive timbres. The result is a dual package: a patchbook plus 250 one-shot samples.

📦 Get the soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/sync...

💾 Each patch served as a starting point from which several variations were recorded by slightly tweaking parameters. This way, you get not only a guide to recreating the sounds but also a ready-to-use WAV collection (44.1kHz / 24-bit) for both hardware samplers and DAWs.
The collection is suitable for many genres: synthwave, retrowave, techno, deep, house, downtempo, industrial, and many others — anywhere an analog retro sound is needed.

🎹 The Behringer Syncussion SY-1 can be triggered not only via the TRIG button or external trigger but also through MIDI. When connected to a MIDI keyboard, the keys transpose the pitch of the patch—experiment with different notes, octaves, and sequenced patterns to unlock a broad sonic range. Tweaking parameters during performance adds dynamic movement and expressiveness to your percussion lines.

📒 The soundset comes in a PDF format. Following the guidelines while experimenting with the suggested settings will deepen your understanding of the synth’s capabilities.
🎧 Each patch also includes an audio example to demonstrate its intended sound.

I added synth parts to the demos. They are not included in the soundset.

Thank you for watching!"

This is the best sound design tool nobody's heard of (and it's free)

"Prepare to meet SoundThread - capable of the most insane sound mangling imaginable - and it's completely free. You might know of Composer's Desktop Project, used by our old pal Aphex Twin on Drukqs. CDP is one of the most powerful software sound design tools on Earth, and is free. It can do things you just can't do elsewhere. Problem is, CDP has never been especially easy to use. Enter SoundThread - a new, beginner friendly Mac/Windows/Linux "front end" for CDP. SoundThread gives you access to lots of CDP's power, but in a simple drag-and-drop modular way. It makes it fun and quick to explore, even if you have very limited experience - that's a big deal. CDP has never been this easy before.

This video was made completely independently of SoundThread & CDP - if I find something cool, I just want to spread the word.

SOUNDTHREAD LINKS TO TRY IT YOURSELF
▶ Get SoundThread: https://github.com/j-p-higgins/SoundT... (Note: This will also tell you how to install CDP. Follow the install instructions precisely. It's not hard, but you mustn't miss a step.)
▶ ...Then learn SoundThread: Soundthread's maker has made a really clear and straightforward video tutorial series for it, watch these: [SoundThread videos below]

Oberheim TEO-5

Lichtmaschine


video upload by Jörg Schaaf

"Bauhaus 1930
I visited the Bauhaus Museum in Dessau and stepped into this beautiful machine from 1930 - The Lichtmaschine. I had no tripod and filmed it with my mobile phone only. I created the soundtrack with the Prophet X sample synthesizer from Sequential and some of my own samples."
