Teenage Engineering OPXY // Ready for the dancefloor
video upload by Dexba
"Hello, first time doing techno, if that's even techno? I am so incredibly (irrationally?) afraid of naming genres, because few other things enrage musicians like not getting the genre right.
But I think the very minimalistic video is quite fitting, if only Teenage Engineering had been brave enough and not give a blue tint to their greys (which I obviously removed ๐)
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this video of the tiny OPXY in action, used in almost each of its parts (step components, punch-in fx, different scale tracks, trig conditions, FX, drums, multisampling, alternative patterns per track, pitch bend, live playing, equaliser, compressor, distortion).
I've only left out the Song Mode, mostly because I was afraid of ruining everything by deleting patterns, and also because I like to go with the flow and I never have proper structures in mind while playing, so... But that will be quite an important part of the workflow, especially if you are going live with the OPXY, mostly because it's very hard to do multiple things at the same time, like for example launching/unmuting a clip while playing with the Punch-In FX™, but the idea behind that is that most things should be sequenced anyway, which is both incredibly powerful, and a bit limiting!
Can't wait to finally see a 1.1 firmware on this tiny powerhouse ๐งก"
Cosmic ฯ Computer - Programma Jam
video upload by Saร
"Today, I have a DAWless jam for you made mostly with the Destiny+ Programma 900 2.0 and Akai MPC Key37. The programma has such an evolution throughout the song that it really creates a nice ambient melody to be accompanied by the punchy drums and heavenly Mellotron choir from the MPC."

Recreating Trans-X “Living On Video” Synth Sound on the Roland SH-101 & GAIA 2
video upload by Scott's Synth Stuff
"In this video, I dive into Trans-X’s iconic 80s hit Living on Video and show how its legendary synth lead sound can be recreated on both the Roland SH-101 and the Roland GAIA 2. I share the story of how this track inspired my passion for synthesizers, then walk you step-by-step through programming the sound—first on the original hardware SH-101, then on the GAIA 2’s SH-101 model engine. If you’re into vintage synths, 80s music production, or modern recreations of classic sounds, this video is for you.
๐ Expect hands-on sound design, synth tips, and side-by-side comparisons so you can bring that unmistakable 80s vibe into your own tracks."
