"GORSE LATHE is a handcrafted experimental synthesizer designed to explore the border between chaos and harmony.
In this demo, we dive into its drone capabilities — sustained textures, evolving feedback, and harmonic movement that feels alive and unpredictable.
No sequences. No presets.
Just electricity, movement, and time.
🎧 Best experienced with headphones.
'Every drone is a landscape — you just have to listen long enough.'"
"The @strymon SuperKar+ Chord Voice through a Strymon Magneto. Percussion is from a BitBox Micro, bass is from a Make Noise XPO, and the background synth voice is from a Steady State Fate ZPO.
Loops are from Ableton Live, with a Korg SQ-64 acting as a MIDI to CV converter. Ableton's clock is randomized by CV Tools stepped-random LFOs. The Strymon Magneto is clocked by the kick drum trigger. Reverb is from Ableton Live. Recorded in one take.
SuperKar+ is a Eurorack voice module that uses Karplus-Strong synthesis to create the sound of plucked or bowed strings, struck or blown pipes or tubes, or a suite of other sounds."
"Using the new @DoepferMusikelektronikGmbH Mini Analog Sequencer to change filter modes on the Matrix VCF, whilst also providing a melody for the VCOs. Ideally, a separate sequencer would be used for each purpose, but just for fun I wanted to see what I could creating using the same sequencer CV to create both a melody, and change filter type on the Matrix. This is made much more viable using the CV MIX module, to adjust the range of CV to cover the modes I wanted to use - predominantly those at the bottom, including 4-pole low pass, band pass, all pass, and the combined 3-pole all pass & 1-pole low pass mode.
Stereo Panning per step also features towards the end (headphones recommended), using the Triple Cross module to pan the mono sequence between 2 outputs, which is sent to a stereo input on the Cosmic Pro. The Tap Tempo VC-LFO is providing sample & hold-style random stepped voltages, which go to the Triple Cross module, modulating the amount of stereo panning between left and right on each sequencer step. I didn't increase the panning amount to maximum, because the result was just too extreme for my delicate ears! It's a great effect though."
"Paired the #monomenorns with the #ep133koii today to see where it goes. The always mighty #awakescript sequences some samples on the #ep133 (using a #widibudpro to send midi over BT to the iPad and from there to the EP133 via USB) while being spiced up with #klevgrandwalls, #kdevicesfauve and #kdevicesttap on the iPad."
"The GAIA2 is still a super synthesizer in 2025 and I think its underrated and overlooked especially when it comes to some cool and wispy vaporwave sounds, and it's USB-C interface.
Here's today's random thoughts on the Roland GAIA 2"
"A cinematic atmosphere made of sound, not melody. https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store... This is not a collection of loops. It is a carefully curated archive of long-form drone textures, each exceeding five minutes, sculpted for those who create without the need for rhythm, harmony, or resolution. Designed for deep listeners and sound designers. From seasoned ambient producers to experimental filmmakers, this pack speaks to those who understand that sound can live and breathe without a beat. Built from legendary hardware units and bespoke digital tools, these drones are not simply sounds. They are environments.
