A New Audience For An Antique Synth - LudoWic and the Trautonium

video upload by HAINBACH

"When I saw LudoWic for the first time live at Noodlebar in Rotterdam, he already had a beautiful Volkstrautonium with him, from which he brought forth cello-like resonances. Fast forward a few years and I see him exploding across social media playing the full blown Mixturtrautonium. The Trautonium is 1930s German proto-synth by Trautwein and Oscar Sala, recreated by Jürgen Hiller of Trautoniks. It made me so happy to see this 90 year old instrument revitalized for a new audience, so when he came by to play the wonderful Funkhaus in Berlin, I asked LudoWic a few questions.

Polyend MESS Demo - Presets for Ambient, Techno and Electronica (no talking)

video upload by Limbic Bits

"In this video, we’re taking a closer look at the Polyend MESS — a multi-effect processor that combines a broad selection of over 120 stereo effect algorithms with a step-based sequencer. The device allows you to assign different effects to four independent tracks and sequence parameters per step, making it possible to build rhythmic or evolving textures. The polymetric sequencer is a notable feature, as each lane can run at its own length and timing, adding a subtle sense of variation and movement."

video upload by DivKid

"Join us for the DivKid Discussion at Machina Bristronica with BELA! They discuss their origins, getting to their first Superbooth with gear borrowed from Instruo, developing Gliss and the lessons they've learnt leading them to the upcoming ... and fascinating ... TRAILS modules. I'm excited to see how this one develops in the final stages and to hopefully try it for its release.

PlantsSystem-U・O

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem latest track, 'U・O' is an experimental electronic piece created using the iOS app Sector. Rhythms and melodies constantly transform, like sound particles reconstructing within a circle. Amidst the flow of sound, where randomness and order intertwine, fragments of the sound of YMO flash back at unexpected moments—a nostalgia evoking memories of techno pop, yet simultaneously a futuristic surge of electronic sound. This track is a vivid demonstration by PlantsSystem of the poetry of sound born from the randomness of digital technology."

Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 4: Original Soundtrack

video upload by Moog Music

"The soundtrack from the fourth episode of Synthesizing with Moog invites you to dive deep into one of the synthesizers signature components, the Voltage-Controlled Filter. While different oscillator shapes could create a bed of tone and harmonics, the Voltage-Controlled Filter allowed musicians to sculpt a distinct sound out of all those harmonics and even shape that sound over time.

We hope you enjoy this music created by Moog electronic musical instrument experts Max Ravitz ( / patriciaaa ) and Gunnar Haslam ( @lasynthesehumaine6932 ).

"The soundtrack from the third episode of Synthesizing with Moog invites you to dive deep into 'Vibrations' and their the source on the synthesizer – the oscillator. We also dive into the topics of harmonics, looking at how the shape of oscillation creates distinct tones with different harmonic characteristics.

Anthony Marinelli Music Synth Studio Revealed | Studio Tour 2025

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"I finally agreed to make a video showing my synthesizer studio. I'm NOT a collector, so you'll see the instruments I've used for over four decades to do my work. It's also my space for composing. In this deep dive studio tour, I walk you through every corner of my space, showing how everything’s connected for performing, recording, and creative flow.

You’ll see icons like the 'Plantasia' Moog Modular IIIc, Synclavier II, Rhodes Chroma with Expander & Enabler, Oberheim Four Voice, Elka Synthex, Roland Jupiter 8, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, ARP 2600s, Korg MS modular synths, some classic Minimoog — plus a few modern synths I’ve added as I look to the future. Alongside the synths are vintage drum machines, string machines, and rare electric keyboards including a 1973 Fender Rhodes Suitcase and Hohner Clavinet/Pianet Duo.

We'll also explore racks of outboard gear, vocoder units, tape echoes, and a vast array of my custom guitar pedal options, efx pedal boards and studio effects racks that make this room endlessly inspiring. I'll also reveal how my entire studio is designed for instant creativity, featuring 48 channels of synth drivers and stage boxes, so any synth can be patched and recorded on the fly."
