Life's Window | Prophet 10 soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"It was my Dad's birthday today. He didn't make it to this birthday, or the last 14 birthday's either. Time just goes on and takes everything away from us. But I wanted to write something on his Birthday. I miss him. I miss my mom too. I miss them both.

Meanwhile, I'm just barely hanging on. My wife still hasn't found a job and I sometimes think she won't get one before I lose mine due to all the awesome stuff going on in the federal government. We've been worried about what will happen when we're both without jobs. I couldn't get a job if I tried (and I have). I guess no one wants someone who has a really niche background. It's just not a great place to be.

Life goes on anyway.

This might be the best Novation Circuit track yet!

video upload by Guinan

"It started out as a bit of a challenge but in the end turned out better than I hoped.

Everything you hear was programmed on the Tracks synth (and if required, sampled into the Rhythm). Only the drums and vocals are samples from elsewhere and the whole thing is played back on the two machines and recorded (without any extra synths or effects)."

"As all my modules, each function is accessible independently.

Here, we will use the folding circuitry and replace the internal VCO by some other sources:
Drum loop
The UNDULA OSCILLATOR (with its own folder)
and some FM with the Quad Operators from Humble Audio

Note that this is a prototype, the final version should be better..."

The Beauty of Two Vermona Perfourmers - Deluge in Action #13

video upload by Krzysztof Steplowski

"🎹 Listen to the 8-voice Vermona Perfourmer! This time a simple improvisation, not a proper track.

🎹 Check my patches for synths: https://synth-patches.com/

👉 In this video I present an improvisation using two Vermona Performers chained together. Instead of two four-voice synths, I've got a single, eight-voice, polyphonic analogue beast.

👉 Both synthesizers are connected via a ‪@Bome‬ Box – this small device can distribute MIDI messages sent via a single channel to any number of MIDI channels. In this case, the Bome Box distributes each received note to eight additional MIDI channels, which I send to both synthesizers via a Midi Splitter (Banana Split in this case).

👉 All I need is a very simple motif based on a single pattern in Deluge. By playing with individual oscillators, I can introduce additional variations to that motif. Then, all that's left is to play with the effect—in this case, ‪@audiothingies‬ Doctor A."

NICE BEATS

video upload by peter m mahr

"NICE BEATS ✨

A long-held wish continues — merging my photographs with my music.

While the first piece, WHEN SILENCE FELL, embraced darkness and stillness, this second work carries a brighter pulse. Captured one evening in Nice with a Canon EOS 5D, the image glows with color and movement. Its title plays on both the city’s name and the beats of light — vibrant, electrifying, alive.

The soundscape was created with:
AKAI MPC4000
Nord Electro 6D
Modal Electronics COBALT8"

Back at it again- Live looping in the studio 2025 and an Interview with MR TUNA Music

video upload by MR TUNA Music

"My friends I am sorry to leave you hanging all summer with no jams, but its a beautiful sunny world out there and I've got to be out IN IT! So in the meantime I have a few jams backlogged that have **never before been released** and expect some weird b-sides that I was too embarrassed to post when I had content to spare !

Anyways- lots going on here, we got some Hydrasynth deluxe, classic analog pads from the JX-8P... and lots of super pump-jumping with the MX-1 sidechaining and doing some beat effects. Jupiter-80 muted trumpet is the funnest sound in the world.

Stay a while, and listen!"

---

And an interview with MR TUNA Music by Ivan Trajkovic aka dejayiwan editor and journalist (and sometimes producer and DJ):

Q: Have computers and DAWs, in a sense, destroyed creativity – why do we have so many “DAWless” setups today?

A: I think a really big part of it is a desire to get away from 'the screen'. Staring at a computer all day for work, clicking away on a mouse and keyboard can become exhausting after a long day, and to break away from the rigidity and comforts of software simply makes it more fun.... and thats a really big part of why I do what I do. There is some minor advantage to the near-unbeatable quality of analog circuitry you cant quite replicate working purely within a DAW, but that point is being made more and more moot by incredible emulations and virtual analog softsynths.

Q: Today we have apps like BandLab that are complete studios on a phone – have we reached “peak technology”?

A: It staggers me to think about what the future might hold now that music production can be with someone anywhere anytime so long as they have their phones. You can literally be on the bus making a hit track with your thumb. That’s crazy. But I don’t think it’s peak.... Tech is always moving and it doesnt stop for anyone... AI is going to be the next big thing whether we like it or not and we need to find a way to keep in check so we're still doing the creating and imagining and the technology is just an extension of that.

Q: Why are new producers so mesmerized with 80s synths and samplers, even though they’re obsolete tech?

A: Things were built differently. Things were built for professionals. Instruments had a quality of sound and build that is still unmatched today. Some of my gear is 40+ years old and sounds better than the stuff from 2025 thats trying its best to emulate it all today. Why dont we build synths like that anymore? Because its all about money and the manufacturers want to make as much of it as possible while spending the least amount.

Q: With so much new electronic music today, how can anyone “find” an audience?

A: Maybe it's lame to say, but the best path is to be authentic to yourself. When i started finally sharing my music it was more of a personal diary than something i was using to 'get famous' or 'find an audience', but by being true to what I wanted and my own personal vision (and having trust in that over some time), people started to see what I was doing and it all came together. People connect with personality, but it's obvious when you're not being yourself... not just tracks. Its routine to say because its true: be consistent, put your stuff out there. The internet is huge — your crowd is out there, just waiting to stumble onto your page at 3AM.

Q: You have one of the most interesting studios – what was the idea behind its creation?

A: My studio was built with one idea in mind... live looping. When I started dreaming up how I *wanted* to make music there wasnt even the right tools to do it properly.... sequencers were still fairly limited and there wasnt a lot of people in the live-looping jam space. I was really discovering it all and making it work on my own. It all came together with the introduction of the Squarp Pyramid sequencer--- what it allowed me to do, the freedom it allowed me to create with... it was the breakthrough piece of gear I needed to bring everything together and start building and building... and BUILDING. I love the music I get to create, but I am more proud of my studio as a form of art in the beauty of it's function and how it's designed to jam with friends, than I ever have been of the music that I create in it.

Q: What’s the future of electronic music – maybe apps and DAWs in virtual reality?

A: The virtual space is here to stay and it will only get more and more indistinguishable from the real world.... We might be already living in that simulation, but like I said earlier I think the real future is going to be (for better or for worse) in AI production techniques, editing, and complete song production. We're already at the point where AI can create a song for us instantly with our own voices, but how long will it be before AI is doing our chores and boring tasks so that we are free to be creative and put our energy into real art rather than the opposite world we live in now! AI should save us from the hard stuff and let us work on the 'fun stuff', the worthy stuff, the music stuff!
