Donner L1 // Four evocative patches [no talking, audio only]
video upload by Dexba
The Roland SH-101, here reimagined by Donner in the L1, didn't offer most of the amenities we are accustomed to today, but I wanted to try to come up with four patches that could show some other sides of the instrument, closer to my likings. I hope you will find them of some inspiration ๐งก"

Drummertime and Brainstep Acid Jam 2
video upload by Tubbutec
"Jam with Drummertime and Brainstep in a small Palette case.
Demonstrating how such a small case can be suffient to get a nice Acid jam running and shows the live performance features of Drummertime.
https://tubbutec.de/drummertime/
Drummertime is controlling the 6m0d6. We have 3 patterns that are arranged in a 8-pattern song.
In one of the patterns, a flam eefect is triggered.
I am using the MUTE mode for performance and change to random play mode and back to normal at some point.
Brainstep is generating filter and VCA envelopes +, LFOs,
one of Brainstep's LFOs is used as the VCO (!).
Additional drum an vocal sounds are also generated by Brainstep.

Game Boy, Tape Loop & CBX-K1XG Lo-fi Electronica | Nephew 2025-11-15 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"This piece was created using a Game Boy, a tape loop, and the YAMAHA CBX-K1XG.
It is an electronica composition where lo-fi synth tones and piano layers blend with a delayed, lo-fi rhythm.
On the Game Boy, rhythms are programmed in LSDj, with delay added using the @strymon TIMELINE.
A one-minute piano performance is recorded onto a tape loop. The loop is played back and processed with @ChaseBlissAudio LOSSY, adding reverb and EQ to create a warm lo-fi texture.
The CBX-K1XG is performed live on the keyboard, with additional delay and reverb applied using @ChaseBlissAudio LOST+FOUND."

Arturia Pure LoFi Custom Patches [Bank 1] by synth_nyc
via synth_nyc:
"You can listen to them in high resolution (24bit 96kHz PCM WAV masters, FLAC encoded) on my site (optimized for Chrome on MacOS and Windows).
All recorded at 24bit 96kHz PCM on UAD Apollo X hardware with builtin FX and UAD FX.
Fantastic synth. Kudos to Arturia. I love the sound, the synth engines and the limited modulation options that forces you to be creative and efficient in your sound design choices."
