Oxford Synthesizer Company OSCar 37-Key Analog Monophonic Programmable Music Synthesizer SN 0115

via this Reverb listing

"Serial number 0115 (written in blue Biro pen on the wooden underside of the instrument).

This is one of the first OSCar synthesizers made and it has great provenance. On 26 April 1984, I visited the designer of the instrument, Chris Huggett, at his apartment in Headington, Oxford. He demonstrated the synth and said, “Take it home and, if you like it, send me some money”. So I did … and this is the instrument that is being sold now. I took it back to him a few months later and he fitted the MIDI board.

The instrument has recently been restored by Andrew Jury (Synth Prof). All electrolytic capacitors have been replaced, ribbon cables and headers have been replaced, the battery is new, mains switch has been replaced, keyboard busbar and spring contacts cleaned and polished and much, much more. Consequently, the instrument is in full working order."

This isn’t your typical subtractive synth – it's a bitmask synthesizer with truly viral sound design potential.

Perfect for those looking to level up their synthesis skills, this video is packed with tips, patch examples, and insights into the Kodamo workflow. Whether you already own a Kodamo Mask1, are eyeing the Kodamo Mask1EX, or are just fascinated by cutting-edge synth design, this guide will open your ears to something truly new."

Seventh Summoner & Arp Of Darkness - Swarm Bending

video upload by FlatSix Modular

"Playing around today with the Seventh Summoner and Arp Of Darkness in the small case. I like where this is headed so I thought I’d share.

https://www.flatsixmodular.com

Patch Notes: Clock is handled by Pam’s Pro Workout.

Voice 1 is sequenced by the Seventh Summoner and consists of the supersaw patch on Braids through the 2051 Bit Corrupter patch on the MFX and then into the delay patch on a Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio with the “MultiVersio” firmware flashed to it.

Voice 2 is a saw wave oscillator from the Disting MK4 processed through a Pittsburgh Modular low pass filter, and being sequenced by Sequence X on an Ornament & Crime module with the Phaserville Suite firmware running. The filter is being modulated by the Shredder applet on the Ornament & Crime.

Voice 3 is being arpeggiated by the Arp Of Darkness, and is made up of a swarm & detune patch on the Neutron Sound Dust of Time running through a ping pong delay on another Disting MK4 by Expert Sleepers. I’m hand modulating the swarm to detune the swarmed notes giving it that dissonant contrast and the release of bring things back to unity.

In-Case Drums are being handled by an Erica Synths Pico Drums module running through A low pass filter on another Disting MK4 and into Data Bender by Qu-Bit for glitching duties.

All outputs run through a Kombucha by WGD for delay send duties and then into a Befaco STMIX for mix down to an Intellijel Headphones output in the 1U row.

Additional drums provided by the K.O. II by Teenage Engineering running my own personal samples."

Unexpected item: Tilde Elektriske Kretser Fjaerlett

video upload by Uncertain Music Corps

Also see: Tilde Elektriske Kretser - Fjærlett

"With my love of spring reverb feedback, the Fjaerlett was a complete no brainer for me and as soon as I heard about it I put my name on the wait list.

That was 4 years ago.

I completely forgot about it until last month when the invoice for instrument number 162 dropped.

It was delivered today.

This is the first run out for it recorded direct to camera. Reverb (offscreen) is provided via an instance of Galactic 3 running on the 4ms Metamodule. There is no eq or compression on the output.

First impressions? This is an elegant, delicate instrument that will take time to learn. The interrelationships between the three springs, the equaliser bands and the feedback level are complex and varied. They are not necessarily repeatable during a session - what looks like the same slider settings will not always provide the same outcomes. At least not at first.

As ever with spring reverb feedback, it's not hard to drive it into standing, sine wave like oscillation. But the more interesting stuff happens on the edges when you can find them. My sense is that there are many edges to be discovered.

I was monitoring this at a fairly low level. High on my to do list is monitor a session at much higher levels to encourage feedback on my feedback.

Let the games begin...."

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."
