From the Deep // Moog Matriach - FM Synthesis | HWJ Challenge | #synthjam

video upload by SOUNDS OF SYNTH

"Hi

This upload is inspired by the HWJ Challenge which is to make a track using FM synthesis.

The patch in this track is created on the Moog Matriach and I'm routing OSC 2 to OSC 1 and OSC 4 to OSC 3. I've got some additional modulation happening on the mod-wheel which is subttly affecting OSC 4 and therefore the sound of OSC 3.

For the massive reverb/delay in the middle and the end I'm using a Soma Cosmos.

PEACE ALL

Minimal Electronic w/ CS01, OP-1 field, volca fm2 : Neutrality 2025-09-29 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with YAMAHA CS01, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@KORG_INC‬ volca fm2. Minimal electronica where lo-fi processed FM synth tones overlap with evolving sequences.

The CS01 is processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY with reverb and EQ, shaping it into a lo-fi sound. The patch is set with long attack and release times.

On the OP-1 field, sequences are played using the ENDLESS sequencer, with pattern changes made mid-performance. The sound is based on the DIMENSION preset CELESTA, modified for this piece.

The volca fm2 produces synth pad tones with extended attack and release, processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MKII to create a lo-fi texture."

Thoughts on the Juno-X in 2025

video upload by MR TUNA Music

"I have had the Roland Juno-X since it's release and it may seem almost redundant in my studio, especially with the big bad Jupiter-X looming behind me in the main shot, but despite being it's medium sized brother, the Juno-X has so much to appreciate and even some improvements on the aforementioned flagship.
Here's a few reasons I still really love my Juno-X:

0:00 - Intro
0:45 - Connectivity
1:25 - Turning the Juno-X on
1:54 - Original Juno series vs. Juno-X
2:45 - Getting started making sounds
3:00 - Pulse Wave Modulation
3:22 - Filter envelope settings
3:55 - Layering in oscillators
4:20 - Adding in classic Juno chorus
4:34 - Effects
4:59 - Layering sounds
5:40 - Inverted filter envelope pad
5:59 - Together
6:36 - Part 3: Arpeggiated pluck
6:47 - Assigning arpeggios
7:48 - A big arpeggiated sound
8:34 - Part 4: Piano
9:04 - Everything Everywhere All At Once
9:40 - Bonus USB MIDI control
9:53 - Part 5: The Rhythm Section
10:13 - Playing with drum beats
11:35 - Thanks for watching"

9/28/25 (bird) ElectroComp EML 400/401 + Paia 6740 + DeltaLab Effectron II + MIDIVERB II + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"Some stringy flutes. The 16 steps on the right side of the ElectroComp EML 400 are producing V4, which is controlling the envelope decay on the EML 401. I’m resetting that loop throughout the video, to change the accents and envelope. The 16 steps on the left side of the 400 are producing V3, which is controlling the 401 filter (in high pass mode). The 400 sequence is being clocked by ALM Pamela’s New Workout, with a division of 140bpm. The 401 output hits the DeltaLab Effectron II delay hard and overloads the limiter. The delay goes from the Effectron II to the Mackie Onyx 1640, with spring reverb from the Paia 6740, gated stereo reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II, and pitchy downsampled stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978. The bird was racing our ferry and won."

PlantsSystem-HyperGlitchMix

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem latest track, 'HyperGlitchMix' is an experimental piece that breaks down sound into pieces and then reconstructs the fragmented sound particles in a new order. The rhythm breaks down into fragments before recombining, and electronic noise and distorted effects fly around unpredictably. This futuristic and aggressive glitch soundscape gives the impression of a new musical organism being born from the remains of data. The intricate structural beauty that emerges from the chaos is a sound art unique to PlantsSystem.

Remembering Gert Jalass of MOON MODULAR

John L Rice wrote in to let us know today is the late Gert Jalass' birthday. I met Gert a few times at NAMM, and John would often man the Moon Modular Booth. Gert was a great, kind soul. I miss his smile; I miss his presence.

John mentioned the Moon Modular website has had a few updates since his passing. The About and History pages are worth a look.

Golden Gate Park’s Hidden Gem in 4K | Black Sand Beach + Cinematic Electronica

video upload by Saul Stokes

New relaxing music and video from supporting member, Saul Stokes. Links below.

"I've lived in the Bay Area for 20 years and only recently discovered that there's one of only about 20-30 black sand beaches in the world right here in the Bay Area. A little search online says that this is due to ground-up volcanic rock. It's a stunning, yet somewhat challenging location to reach. My wife and I opted to take a little beach picnic while recording. Over the course of about 2 hours, only 2 people made it down to the beach. One of the more amazing stories about this area is that there's a Cold War nuclear launch site just up the road, which you can now tour. If you ever come to San Francisco, make sure to cross the Golden Gate and take a little afternoon hike down to the Black Sand Beach.

As for the music, a few long-time listeners might be a bit disappointed, expecting the entire Radiate album, as shown by the album cover. While compiling the music for these videos, I have discovered that sometimes certain songs don't quite fit the feel I'm going for. For Radiate, I opted to replace a few of the darker songs with some of my favorite tracks from my first demo tape, Burning Igloo, which was released in 1993. The song 'Haight Pacific' was a name I pulled from the MUNI bus I first rode on a trip to the ocean while visiting San Francisco in the 1990s. I still find it fascinating that the city of San Francisco is literally right on the ocean. Radiate was performed in Sausalito when I first moved here in the early 2000s. I don't remember much other than it was by a dock with many beautiful boats. Additionally, a few beautiful studio pieces were added to the CD to fill it up. Radiate was released on Databloem, a CDR label based in the Netherlands. I almost forgot, as a closer, I opted to add a single titled Collision, which was written many years later. If you want to hear the entire Radiate album, jump over to the Bandcamp link below.
