Paradise 😇 (Moog Minitaur // Waldorf Streichfett // Roland S1 // Volca Beats // Mininova // NDLR)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"An unexpected impromptu performance with the same setup as my previous video, hope you'll enjoy it! ❤️

The NDLR is sequencing with:
Drone track: the Moog Minitaur (BASS)
Pad track: the Waldorf Streichfett (PADS)
Motif-1 track: the Roland S1 (ARP)
Motif-2 track: the Roland S1 (ARP)

The DRUMS are coming from the Korg Volca Beats and the LEAD is being played in real-time on the Novation Mininova.

00:00 Intro
01:07 Improvised Solo
02:40 Bridge
03:14 Outro

A couple of tricks I used here:

I used the STUTTER EFFECT of the Volca Beats as a delay here on only one voice (not the master bus). First it's on the Open Hi-Hat and then swapped to the Closed Hi-Hat (creating a sixteenth note rhythm without changing pattern)

I'm using one of the NDLR's LFO (Square wave) to modulate the octave of the PADS.

I've used the hidden CHORUS of the S-1 synth to create the wide ARP 😉"

Synthorama - Synthesizer Museum in Switzerland - the place to be!

video upload by Jürgen Moßgraber

"During our holidays in Switzerland I had the opportunity to visit Synthorama a must see synthesizer museum located in Luterbach. Many rare synthesizers ready to play!"

Synth Spotting : Rabbit Trap - Official Trailer | Starring Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen

video upload by Magnolia Pictures & Magnet Releasing

"In theaters September 12.
http://rabbittrapfilm.com/

Seeking new inspiration and a fresh start, married musicians Daphne (Rosy McEwan) and Darcy (Dev Patel) move to the Welsh countryside to finish their new record. While collecting audio samples, Darcy inadvertently creates a field recording of mysterious sound never before heard by human ears. The discovery renews Daphne’s creative energy, but as the echoes of her music bleed into the surrounding landscape, ancient and malevolent woodland forces are disturbed. One day, a stranger arrives on their doorstep. The couple initially embraces the stranger, who helps them navigate and understand their new environment, but Darcy grows suspicious of his obsession. As jealousy and paranoia infect the makeshift family, the line between reality and myth begins to blur.

Starring Dev Patel, Rosy McEwen, Jade Croot
Directed by Bryn Chainey"

This one is in via Soviet Space Child.

Anyone ID the white system that looks like a cross between EMS, Digisound, and Maplin/ETI? I'm guessing DIY.

Lofi Synth Pop w/ Prophet-10, OP-1 field, refaceDX : Luminous 2025-08-14 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ refaceDX. Lo-fi beats layered with simple phrases.

The Prophet-10 is used to play the synth lead.

The refaceDX is processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MK II for a tape effect.

The rhythm pattern was recorded on the OP-1 field and played back with delay applied via MOOD MK II."

Sequential Circuits' final synth. The Prophet VS

The Prophet VS was the last synthesiser to be released under the Sequential Circuits name. After the takeover by Yamaha in 1987, the following synthesisers were released under the Yamaha name.

Here is a demo track only made with the Sequential Prophet VS vector synthesizer from the year 1986. I use only self programmed sounds and the internal arpeggiator.

Sequential Circuits' last synthesiser in the 1980s was the Prophet VS, a hybrid synthesiser that was launched in 1986. It was the last synthesiser developed by Sequential Circuits before the takeover by Yamaha.

The Prophet VS was a digital synthesiser that differed from the company's previous analogue models. It was based on vector synthesis, a technique that made it possible to mix between different waveforms to create complex and versatile sounds. Although the Prophet VS was a digital synthesiser, it included a number of features that set it apart from other digital synthesizers of its time, such as its ability to change and manipulate sounds in real time.

Deuxd - Stereo Cross-Modulation VCF for Eurorack

video upload by Mehr Music Machines

"Deuxd (DUDE) is a dual filter that encourages stereo audio-rate modulation, experimentation and can easily be configured in number of ways.

• 2 Completely Independent LP/HP VCFs
• True stereo VCF with global cutoff control + offset per channel
• Mono to stereo signal processor
• Stereo to mono signal processor
• Variable width bandpass filter with dual resonant peaks
• Freaky feedback machine with 2 flavors of overdrive and FM
• Stereo pingable-thing
• Dual FM Oscillator / Drone

Audio Input 1 (left side) is normalled to Audio input 2 (right side). This let's you easily process 1 signal with two separate filters. Audio 1 is also normalled to FM input 2. To break either connection, simply patch a cable into the respective input jacks. Similarly, Audio input 2 is normalled to FM input 1. This means that each signal input is ready to frequency modulation the opposite side's filter cutoff. (pre XFM)

The top Frequency controls (top right and top left) act as the primary cutoff for each side's filler. Use the global Cutoff (large knob top center) to offset the position of both filter's cutoff position at the same time. The global cutoff control can be used in one of two modes: SYNC - This will change the filter's cutoff of both sides in parallel with one another. OPPOSE: when switched to Oppose, the right side filter will receive inverted control voltage from both the large cutoff knob and signal patched into the Cutoff jack.

When using the Sum (mono) output, you can switch between two flavors of diode clipping (Dirty and Filthy) :)

For bandpass operation, switch one side to High-pass and the other side to Lowpass (results change depending on which side is LP/HP) patch a signal into either filter's audio input, then patch the output the starting filter to the input of the other filter. You can now pull your audio from either the 2nd filter’s output or the SUM output for added harmonics.

The X-mod knob is hardwired, this circuit isolates the output from each side, sends one signal to the cutoff of the opposite side, and visa versa. (post XFM)

For dual pinging fun, patch a slow moving square wave into the audio inputs. the resonance controls should be at about 10:00, just before self oscillation. You will get different results depending on how the internal FM circuits are set. also experiment with pinging while in dual resonant peak bandpass config."

Erica Synths Introduces New Elektor Formant DIY Modular Synth

sound demo video upload by Erica Synths

"Since Erica Synths originated as a company that originally developed DIY kits for Eurorack modular synthesizers, we want to keep the spirit of DIY synths alive and besides our mki x es.EDU DIY series, we went full in, and set out to develop a contemporary, DIY-friendly and extended version of the Elektor Formant synthesizer, originally published as a DIY kit in Elektor Magazine late 70-ties. In collaboration with Harald Antes of haraldswerk.de we developed a modular system based on Elektor Formant designs and added several modules to take its functionality to next level

Timeline:
00:02 - Patch 1
00:59 - Patch 2
02:08 - Patch 3
02:58 - Patch 4
03:50 - Patch 5"
