Rain sound in Tokyo and Ambient Music session : September Transition 2025-09-10 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with Tokyo rain sounds, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and Hamon. Ambient music where synthesizer tones, Hamon, and gong sounds resonate over the background of rainfall.

The Prophet-10 is recorded with light delay added through the BOSS DD-6.

Percussion includes gong and Hamon, recorded with an NT-4 microphone.

The rain was recorded in Tokyo on the afternoon of September 10, 2025. At first it was a heavy downpour, but by the latter half of the piece the intensity weakens and the rain sounds become sparser."

All the sounds of OXI META

video upload by OXI Instruments

00:00 Introduction
00:38 SPACE
02:18 RISER
04:20 FILTER
05:00 LOOPER
05:58 DELAY
07:40 GATER

"Discover the power of the OXI META in action!
In this video, we join A Thousand Details for a hands-on walkthrough of META’s main effects: Space, Riser, Filter, Looper, Delay, and Gater.
With META placed on the master, every effect transforms the entire mix — from deep atmospheric breaks and rising tension, to glitchy loops, dubby echoes, and rhythmic chops.
We’ll explore:
Space – lush reverbs for breakdowns
Riser – building tension into drops
Filter – smooth sweeps & dramatic cuts
Looper – freeze, stutter & glitch effects
Delay – from subtle echoes to dub washes
Gater – rhythmic chops for instant movement
This quick jam shows how META can reshape any track in real time, whether you’re working with Eurorack gear, synths, or other instruments.
