Vieni Uomo


video upload by Davide Micheli

Update: walktrough added below.

"This song, titled 'Vieni Uomo,' is inspired by the Italo disco dance music of the 1980s.

This piece was actually recorded using some analog electronic synthesizers and string machines from the 1980s, such as the Crumar Bit99, Crumar Multiman-S, and Solton Programmer 24. The vocal part also features a barely audible Hammond organ background. This part is played along with the String Machine connected to an analog phaser. Other synthesizers I used include the Prophet 6 and the Korg Prologue 16 for some solo parts. For the vocal part, I used the full analog GRP V22 vocoder, which is truly fantastic.

For the drum machine, I used a vintage Dynacord P20-8 bit from the 1980s.

I also used an Oberheim OB-X8 to create an adaptation break before the vocoder part.

This song truly evokes 1980s Italo Disco music, and the sound is typical of that genre.

I'll post a later video detailing the recording process for this song, track by track.

The song is scheduled for release on major streaming platforms on December 3, 2025."

Nord Modular: The Synthesizer Defined RetroSound's Way


video upload by RetroSound

"(c)2007-25 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

I was one of the first Nord Modular user in germany.
I programmed a lot sound patches for the factory library in the years 1997-1999 and that open many doors for me. You can find my patches with the name 'Marko Ettlich' on the first module.

I had the Nord Modular many years and later the Nord Micro Modular. Happy Times and great memories.
You hear a few demo sounds from the archive (NM demo & demo from different music magazines like keys and keyboards)

Maciek Polak "Remaining exercises For Synthi AKS Solo" - Master 31


video upload by analogia pl

"In 2016 and 2017, while working on the debut album for my band Pin Park, I recorded a few hundred tracks. Around 200 survived the first cut, and that number was eventually trimmed down to 50. These recordings were literally rescued by Marcin BociƄski from legatomastering.pl after I had forgotten about them for quite some time.

The setup I used was extremely limited: an EMS Synthi AKS (occasionally a VCS3), an EMS Vocoder 100, and three Boss pedals (looper, reverb, and distortion). Everything was recorded onto a low-quality Zoom device running through a substandard mixer. Each track was captured in a single take with no overdubs, which meant there was no real possibility for mixing. Marcin’s mastering work was nothing short of amazing, bringing these raw recordings to life.

In 2018, Apekwolf Records released 14 of these tracks. The remaining 36 were never made available—until now. Enjoy!"

Herbs and Stones Seeds - mini noise synth


video upload by Herbs and Stones

"Seeds is a DIY noise synth that will be available to build at various workshops."

https://herbs---stones.com/seeds-work...



Seeds is a portable, battery-powered noise synth.

Its operation is based on the improper use of primitive CMOS digital technology: by forcing a linear output from an integrated circuit that operates using Boolean logic, by draining it of current and pushing its inputs to their limits, organic, unpredictable, and never-replicable sounds are achieved.

Seeds is an instrument with a vast array of sounds, designed for research and experimentation.

Technical Specifications:

Power: 4 AA batteries (included in the kit)
Output: Stereo TRS minijack
