Stylophone Gen X-2 & Lofi-12 XT Acid Jam - Men Only Want One Thing And It's Disgusting Acid


video upload by ChrisLody

"Full Disclosure: I occasionally take on freelance work at Sonicware and Stylophone on an hourly rate producing synth & sample sound design, beta testing, checking English text, video manuals, promo content etc. This video wasn't paid for directly but as a result of my work with Sonicware and Stylophone it is marked as Paid Promotion

Time for some more weekend acid it seems!

The good people over at Stylophone sent me the Gen X-2 so I can make some promotional work for them, but of course it needs a good test 😁so time for some acid😈

This jam uses the Korg SQ-1 as a sequencer to control it because the new Gen X-2 model has gate and CV inputs meaning I can create a sequence and get it to sync up with other gear where as the Gen X-1 was played by the stylus only. I'm also running the Gen X-2 through an unbranded Vintage Overdrive that my wife found as a freebie on Temu of all things. To my surprise it's actually pretty good and pairs nicely with the Gen X-2. I did have to use an inline isolator between the Gen X-2 and pedal though as it was generating a lot of digital noise otherwise.

The Lofi-12 XT is being used to add delay and reverb to the Gen X-2 and I'm using the new v1.5 feature of being able to sidechain external sources again because it's super useful for letting the kick cut through on things like this."

T-16 Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer (based on ARP 2600) - DEMO 004


video upload by Nitecaller.

"Felt like creating something that was different to the last few drone-y videos and ended up with this! The range of this instrument is incredible.

Audio signal chain: T-16, Focusrite 18i20, Ableton Live, Valhalla Supermassive, Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor VST.

[The T-16 is a custom semi-modular synth largely based on the analog circuits of the original ARP 2600 and ARP Odyssey, with additional modifications and modules.]

Ambient session with sampled Bamboo flute : Transparent Garden 2025-09-06 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with KORG microKORG S, teenage engineering OP-1 field, and Novation Circuit. Electronica where sampled bamboo flute tones resonate over simple chords and rhythms.

On the microKORG, sustained chords are held while NIGHTSKY adds filtering and reverb, with modulation applied to the filter.

The OP-1 field is used to sample and play a Thai bamboo flute, processed with effects through Chase Bliss Audio MOOD MK II.

The Novation Circuit plays rhythm patterns, processed with LOSSY to create a lo-fi texture."

OBSO | Circle Cynths


video uploads by Circle Cynths

"The debut instrument from Circle Cynths, OBSO. A dreamlike interface delivering instant inspiration, featuring nostalgic synths, pads, basses, bells, and strings, all sampled using obsolete technology.

Learn more at: www.circlecynths.com"



"OBSO is an inspiring catalog of sounds coaxed directly from various forms of obsolete media and extant technology. We celebrate the undulating inconsistencies of bygone days, lovingly filtered through the oxide and worn machinery of VCRs, cassette-decks and other consumer products from the 80s and 90s.

Our dreamlike but intuitive interface is intended to spark instant emotion. Specifically designed to sound good no matter where the knobs are, the five visceral control circles nevertheless offer a huge depth of range within a single patch. Nostalgic synths, creamy pads, lush basses, shimmering bells, burnished brass, scintillating strings, and more glow with the patina of fine age.

Individual sounds sink into a mix like they always existed, but you'll find they can easily stand alone without the need for layering or manipulation outside of the instrument. From film and game scoring to lush pop records, these tactile soundscapes add a dose of warm nostalgia to nearly any production.

Simple Interface
Sculpt your sound with an intuitive interface that features massive depth of control, giving you endless ways to shape and refine your tone.

Presets & Tags
120 unique patches. Bells, Brass, Strings, Keys, Pads & More. Find the perfect sound for your track with our built in tag searching system."
