"In this video, Groove Synthesis co-founder Bob Coover provides an overview of the capabilities, features, and sounds of the 3rd Wave 8M.

Meet the 3rd Wave 8M: An 8-voice desktop synth powerhouse that brings Groove Synthesis’ award-winning wavetable technology to more studios, stages, and creative spaces than ever before. This isn’t a watered-down version. This is 8 voices and 2 parts of pure, uncompromised 3rd Wave DNA in a more accessible, compact package. Same premium sound engine. Same analog filters. Same innovative synthesis. Just more accessible to more producers and musicians.

In this overview, Groove's co-founder Bob Coover walks you through the five synthesis methods (PPG wavetables, modern wavetables, virtual-analog, linear FM, and sampling), features and performance controls, and explains which 3rd Wave might be the right one for you.

Iconic British OSCar Synth is Reborn


video upload by Starsky Carr

Guestimate price (just after 6:50) of £2.5k GBP which comes to $3371 USD.

"The legendary OSCar synthesizer is back! In this video, I'm joined by Paul from PWM Instruments, who recently acquired the rights to the Oxford Synth Company. In this he talks us through their new synth - a modern recreation of the iconic OSCar - a secret weapon for artists like Jean-Michel Jarre, Ultravox, Stevie Wonder, Orbital, and Underworld - and explains how the new OSCar stays true to the original’s gritty charm while adding modern upgrades for today’s producers.

Its currently at prototype stage - but the proof of concept has been demonstrated, so the next stage is to mould it into a commercial product.

Whether you’re a synth enthusiast, a producer hunting for that British synth grit, or just curious about iconic electronic instruments, this deep-dive demo will show you why the OSCar still inspires decades later.

Hear a short demo of the unmistakable OSCar growl, discover its quirks, and see why this rebirth matters for synth lovers everywhere."

Forgotten Futures /// ( 5 / 7 ) /// Slow Returning


video upload by Hélène Vogelsinger

"There are places untouched by silence.
Places that never truly sleep.
Removed from the world,
but not from time,
they continue to resonate,
gently, stubbornly,
on another frequency.
Kavadarci is one of them.
