📼 '80s reloaded: Roland VP-03 and the allure of the classic vocoder

video upload by SICK FOR SYNTHS

"Discover the Roland Boutique VP-03, the compact vocoder that recreates the legendary Roland VP-330, a key player in electronic music from the '70s and '80s. Used by artists such as Vangelis, Human League, and Laurie Anderson, this instrument defined the sound of an era with its 16-band vocoder, synthetic strings, and ethereal choirs. In this video, we'll explore how the VP-03 works, listen to its vintage sounds, and discover how Roland has captured the magic of a classic in a pocket-sized format.

Perfect for those who love retro synths, cinematic sounds, and the aesthetic of vintage electronics, the VP-03 is a unique instrument for bringing the charm of '70s and '80s productions back to life."

M8 Tracker Model:02 solo performance : Stagnation 2025-09-14 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Ambient electronica created with the ‪@Dirtywave‬ M8 Tracker Model:02.

The track is composed entirely using the M8’s built-in sampler and synths. The main sustaining pad was made with Hypersynth, with each part’s tone evolving through filter modulation."

Maciek Polak "Remaining exercises For Synthi AKS Solo"

video uploads by analogia pl

"In 2016 and 2017, while working on the debut album for my band Pin Park, I recorded a few hundred tracks. Around 200 survived the first cut, and that number was eventually trimmed down to 50. These recordings were literally rescued by Marcin Bociński from legatomastering.pl after I had forgotten about them for quite some time.

The setup I used was extremely limited: an EMS Synthi AKS (occasionally a VCS3), an EMS Vocoder 100, and three Boss pedals (looper, reverb, and distortion). Everything was recorded onto a low-quality Zoom device running through a substandard mixer. Each track was captured in a single take with no overdubs, which meant there was no real possibility for mixing. Marcin’s mastering work was nothing short of amazing, bringing these raw recordings to life.

In 2018, Apekwolf Records released 14 of these tracks. The remaining 36 were never made available—until now. Enjoy!"

Eurorack Impro with Larix-Elektro modules (almost only)

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"Apart from the envelopes and the VCA DOEPFER, the modular only uses LE modules.
Furthermore, there is a reverb, the OTO BAM.
A delay, the Boss RE-20
And a small FMR Audio RNC1773 compressor in insert of the mixing console."

Biopower Audio Introduces Cerebellum Logic Matrix

video uploads by Biopower Audio

"CEREBELLUM is a Boolean logic matrix for Eurorack modular synthesizer. It can craft complex polyrhythms, arrange generative structures that evolve over the course of a piece of music, and even produce gnarly timbres when combining audio rate signals.

The module a final prototype. Please learn more and sign up for pre-orders at: www.biopoweraudio.com/cerebellum

The module accepts inputs on three rows, which may be operated upon by signals from four columns before output. An operation is active when a latching 15mm LED switch is engaged at each node, which displays the new signal. A second switch allows a choice of AND or XOR operands.

To extend the module’s functionality, each column provides a clock divider and static +5V “on” and NOT invert switches. The dividers alternate between a binary counter /x^2 (2 through 128) and a decade counter /x (integers 2 through 8) paired with a LATCH flip-flop.

A single signal at IN ALL addresses all columns, which have outputs after their division and invert operations. All dividers receive individual resets and RST ALL. Columns 1, 2, and 3 are normalled to rows A, B, and C respectively, allowing the creation of seven inter-related signals from one input.

CEREBELLUM is 30 hp and 38mm deep. Max current draw is 100ma (primarily from LED use!)

Attack Release Bloc Glasgow -CALC- Live set rehearsal

video upload by -CALC-

"I played at Attack Release in Glasgow in July 2025.
Sadly the audio from the gig recording was crocked so it didnt make it, but I did film a rehearsal a few days before. The gig itself was better than this take (of course it was ;o) and I had tweaked the set quite a bit from this for the show, but it gives the general idea of what I played.

Attack Release is an amazing night and I thoroughly recommend it if you are ever in Glasgow on the last Wednesday of the month. It has to be one of the best gigs I have played with the best crowd ever. Sad the recording of the night didnt work out though."
