Metro - Trance Jam - Circuit Tracks Only Live Performance

video upload by Yarune Music

"Experience a dawless trance jam created entirely on the Novation Circuit Tracks. This track, titled 'Metro', is a live jam inspired by the rhythm and atmosphere of the Amsterdam and Munich underground systems. Pulsing basslines and clubby trance grooves come together in this one-take performance — no DAW, no edits, just raw electronic music.

I love creating with the Circuit Tracks, letting ideas flow without a screen. This performance is part of my ongoing exploration of dawless production and live electronic jamming.

If you enjoy synth jams, hardware grooves, and live trance performances, hit like and subscribe — I'll promise to create more jams for you! 🎶

Thanks for listening and watching.

SOLTON POLYVOX K - 1983

This is the first comprehensive demonstration of the SOLTON POLYVOX ever made.
The reason this hasn't been done previously by anyone else is the insane rarity of the controller keyboard that unlocks all sections - SOLTON POLYVOX K.

We've only seen the controller keyboard in the wild twice and we managed to buy them both.
Are there any other ones out there?
Please light up the comment section if you have physically encountered another one - we'd love to hear about it.

Since this unicorn doesn't get captured very often we thought we owed the internet quality photos and an in-depth, technical video demonstration of its functions.

Before we start we'd like to say that one complete unit is up for sale - if you're interested please contact us via the email on our website - link below.

There are a lot of features here so we actually missed a few, so stay tuned for a Part II this fall or winter.

The video probably has the information you need but let's dive in to a basic rundown here just in case:

Roland Jupiter 6 61-Key Synthesizer w/ Wood Side Panels & Bass Mod

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"A beautiful wild and unique synthesizer that is hard to come by these days!

This was recently serviced and given a general tune up and upgraded with walnut wooden side panels.

It has some cosmetic wear with some rough spots on the paint of the body and a small inward curve on the back panel but overall is in great condition for its age and functionality is flawless.

This also has had the Florian Anwander resonance mod done so that the bass doesn't fade with the resonance up making this an excellent bass synth with different resonance sequences."

Waldorf Microwave XT w/ Custom Black Overlay

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"Ticks all the boxes - 30 voices, reskinned with striking black theme, extra overlay, upgraded Kilo knobs (currently $10 or more *each*), power supply.

Oh yeah, and it sounds amazing as well. If you're looking for an old school Waldorf wavetable sound, this is your best choice. Still classic sounding, but with a lot of modern touches.

Fits in a rack, looks great on a coffee table, can be safely lugged to gigs. I have 2 and still debate keeping this one."

Why Most People Use Sequencers Wrong (Do THIS Instead)

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"Are you making this BIG sequencer mistake? Most people use sequencers to control pitch—but that’s not the only approach, especially if you want your synthesizer to sound alive and musical when spontaneously creating new music. In this video, I'll reveal one of my favorite sequencer tricks: using sequencers for accent and rhythm, while controlling pitch directly from the keyboard.

This technique lets you stay spontaneous with the notes and adds real-time surprises when creating songs or performing live (as opposed to working in a more controlled DAW enviornment). I'll wals you through the patch, gives step-by-step sequencer tips, and plays musical examples so you can hear exactly how it transforms a sequence into something dynamic and expressive.

✨ What you’ll learn in this video:
• How to use a sequencer for rhythm and accents instead of pitch
• Why controlling pitch on the keyboard in real-time can make your sequencer playing more musical
• Patch examples and live demonstrations on vintage synthesizers
• A mindset shift that will change how you think about sequencers forever"

Hey everybody, in this video we are going to talk about the Original The Prodigy Keyboard, the Roland W30. This 1989 sampling workstation was the backbone of Liam Howlett’s setup both live and in the studio and we will take a look at its archaic workflows, the ways it was used by the master himself, we will try to make some music and find out that making beats was not for the faint of heart in the 90s.

4MS Meta Module: Demo & Explorations

video upload by Sarah Belle Reid

"In this video I share a walkthrough and demo of Meta Module made by 4MS. MetaModule is a Eurorack module that can act as a virtual modular synth, letting you swap out different modules and build virtual patches that you can interact with using the front panel knobs.

I'll start with an overview of what Meta Module is and how it works, then I'll walk through two different ways of building patches using Meta Module (directly on the module itself and using VCV Rack on your computer), and I'll share multiple different use cases for which Meta Module can be especially helpful. I'll also share lots of demos, patches, and sounds along the way!"
