I remastered my old 80s synthwave track Day Off. Over 15 years old.
I used the Roland Juno-60, the SCI Pro-One and the Roland TR-707
dawless recording, no MIDI, all played live

M8 Track Model:02 solo IDM performance : New facility 2025-09-18 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the ‪@Dirtywave‬ M8 Tracker Model:02. IDM/electronica where sampled voices are screwed and warped into the mix.

The vocal samples are loaded into the Sampler and played back with pitch shifts.

The main harmony is performed on Hypersynth, with chords switching throughout."

Oberheim OB-6 - Sound Demo


video upload by TheChrisVella

"A full sound demo of my favourite presets on the Oberheim OB-6 analog synthesizer.
I run through a wide variety of presets to showcase the lush pads, warm basses, sharp leads, and classic Oberheim textures this synth is known for. No talking, just pure sound so you can hear exactly what the OB-6 can do.

Perfect if you’re curious how this synth handles different tones, or if you’re considering adding it to your studio.

video upload by Spektro Audio

"The new 1.4 firmware update for NGEN is now available, featuring two new generators (Luar and Looper), the new Call MFX, and numerous enhancements. These include the Param view, dynamic variations, an undo system, two new CV output modes, 11 new Song Mode event types, and improvements to shortcuts, the menu system, animations, and more!

In addition to the new update, we’re also releasing the NGEN Web Manager, a new open-source tool for managing NGEN’s files directly from your browser.

For more information about NGEN 1.4 and the new NGEN Web Manager, check out our latest blog post at https://spektroaudio.com/blog/2025/9/...

We are thrilled to announce that more NGEN units will be available for pre-orders on our website starting September 23, 2025, at 12 PM EST.

Shipping will be available via DHL, Fedex, or Postal and we'll begin shipping in the first week of October!

NGEN – Algorithmic MIDI Workstation NGEN is a unique 16-track MIDI sequencer design in São Paulo / Brazil that lets you combine multiple algorithmic / generative generators and MIDI FXs to sequence multiple hardware or software MIDI instruments."

Poly 61 hardware midi editor (Tauntek upgrade)


video upload by Craig Barnes

"I quickly built this encoder based hardware editor for Tauntek upgraded poly 61 boards, it's fairly simple and uses an ESP32 Dev board and io port expanders."

Hacking the TIME-SHIFTER - Eurorack module


video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"A small addition to the TIME SHIFTER module:
Add a CV input to the MAIN-SHIFT parameter.
A CV input to this parameter hadn't been planned, as in the intended use, it wasn't relevant.
But actually, why not? That's the whole point of being modular: going where the manufacturer hadn't thought!

Ok, it's a bit makeshift, but it works…
More info on the site:
https://www.larix-elektro.com/PRODUCT...

Modules used:
LARIX ELEKTRO 4TOMS for the toms! obviously ;)
LARIX ELEKTRO Ritournelle CV Generator + Shift-R for the rhythm
LARIX ELEKTRO Ritournelle CV Generator (another one) for the CV controlling the MAIN SHIFT"



"WHAT'S THAT THING ?
The Time-Shifter is a delay for gate or trigger signales.
As all good time machines it can delay after and before (!).

The first idea is to find a way to build a swing or a groove.
So to decide which steps of which track is decayed, and how much.

To do this, it is necessary to be able to shift the events after and before. But before, we can't predict when an event will appear...

The solution is to decay everything, and then, decaying less than the others events.
So comparing to the new decaying events, it will sounds like it appear before.


The MAIN SHIFT defines this new reference.
So if you enter the main CLK signal into the input, the output of this circuit can be used as the new CLK reference.

The four circuits A B C and D works according to the value of the MAIN SHIFT reference:
- When the knob is centered, the time decay is the same.
- Left, means less time decay, so the event will appear before.
- Right, means more time, so the event will appear after.

Extend your module:
The module can be enriched by one expansion modules:
- The AttV-4 adds to the CV entries an adjustment of the CV value by an attenuverter.
The connectors on the back of the module save connectivity at the front.

Typical use:
- Groove (or swing, etc.) controlable by CV (!)
- Realignment of gates sequences.
(When using multiple sequencers with different latency)
- Signals sequencing adjustment.
(Be sur that a RST arrives at the right moment, for example)
(Be sur that a your S&H module sample after signal stabilization, for example)"

ADDAC Perc VCA and Friends Jam


video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Really liking the Perc VCA for the simplicity of its built in decay envelope and ability to grab a bassline with the minimum of fuss. Here's a quick demo and I hope to do a full review soon."



"While deep in its soul there’s a standard VCA with exponential response that can be used as such, in its heart pulses an AD envelope with a sharp attack and a variable decay internally connected to the VCA control input. When it opens its mouth it can whisper in your ear but don’t let this soft demeanor fool you, if driven to the extreme it will show its teeth and gnarly bite and chew on your cochleas with all its might.

The AD envelope has a fixed short Attack, just enough to avoid the typical “click” that happens when using a Gate signal to control a VCA, while the envelope Decay can be controlled via its knob or voltage controlled using the CV input and attenuverter.

We named it Percussion VCA as most percussion intruments have sharp attacks with variable decays just as its AD Envelope however it can be used for any purpose where a VCA is needed including for CV signals due to it’s DC coupled signal path.

Furthermore it also allows to be driven from a simple Gate signal while controlling its decay. This way it’s easy to plug a noise source, vco or any audio and turn that source into a percussive element."
