Roland V Synth Soundtrack Demo


video upload by JMPSynth

"A track recorded many years ago using solely presets, custom sounds and use of the D Beam from the Roland V Synth. If you'd like the project file for the sounds used, email me at jmp701@sky.com"

Airwave plays with (almost) everything


video upload by ROLI

"When we first came up with Airwave, it was only intended to work with ROLI instruments — but you asked for wider compatibility, and we delivered. In this recently unearthed archive footage, our social media manager Omar sets out to prove the point with a conveyor belt of musical and (not-so-musical) items."

Doepfer A-188-9 High Speed VCO - Audio Demo


video upload by Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH

"Over the last month, we have been recording videos for our Instagram channel. Here is a compilation of some of the clips!

In the video, the A-121-S stereo filter is mainly used as an end-of-chain filter. In combination with the A-149-4 quad random voltage source, it is possible to add modulation to the stereo field.

The feedback path was often patched in the clips, for example with a bandpass filter that had high resonance. This can lead to some pretty crazy sounds, as you can hear!

Another interesting thing to try is playing really high or low notes. Some of these the BBD is unable to track, which results in some quite nice glitches.

The A-188-9 and A-188-1 BBD combo offers a wide range of sound possibilities and often produces happy accidents. It's totally worth trying!

Questions? Let us know!

Module A-188-9 is a so-called high speed VCO that tracks prefectly to the 1V/oct scale in the frequency range of about 15kHz ... 500 kHz. The main application is the exact drive of BBD modules (A-188-1/2) to generate sounds realized by means of the so-called Karplus-Strong synthesis. But even in cooperation with other modules featuring high speed inputs (e.g. digital noise, delay, frequency divider) the A-188-9 makes sense. In principle, the module is made of a precision audio VCO followed by a PLL (phase locked loop) unit that multiplies the frequency of the audio VCO by 32. Thus the module can be used also as an audio VCO as it features the standard waveforms sawtooth, triangle and rectangle with adjustable pulse width."

Doepfer Basic System 3: A-138j Mod Bus Exploration


video upload by Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH

Note this video is from a year ago.

"This video provides a detailed overview of a patch from the upcoming patchbook.

It features a sync patch with ring modulation. The video explains different sounds and routing options using the A-138j Janus Mixer in detail.

In this video, the system is sequenced from an external device and processed in a DAW."

See the announcement post from 2022 here.

And a video on the Doepfer Basic System 3 from 3 years ago:

Doepfer Basic System 3

video upload by Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH

"The basic system from Doepfer is a return to Dieter Doepfer's original vision of analogue modular synthesis. Modules can be connected via front panel audio and CV connectors and used in infinite combinations. The Basic System 3 is an easily accessible and well-structured system that can be used by enthusiasts and beginners alike.

This video demonstrates various patches on the system. Videos of the individual sound examples will follow shortly.

In this video, the system is sequenced from an external device and processed in a DAW."

BlueARP DM + Roland SC88, 'øneheart x reidenshi snowfall' cover


video upload by graywolf2004ru

"Recreation of the track 'øneheart x reidenshi - snowfall' on BlueARP DM and Roland SC88. Everything was sequenced on BlueARP DM (not even using the ctrl app). Also BlueARP DM holds all the program changes, sysEx messages like volume and effect levels for each part (via AUTOMATION functionality).

The audio narration is taken from • The Silence Of The Snow - Winter Poem
The Silence of the Snow, a winter poem by Ruth Velenski
I stretched it a bit, aligned to the music and added some delay & reverb.

This is my first try of this famous 'slow & reverb' genre, hope you enjoy )"

Techno Jam with Perkons HD-01 by ‪@EricaSynths‬ 🎛️


video upload by Yan Cook and PLAY VINYL

"I want to thank ‪@playvinylua‬ for lending me this machine for several days, I'll definitely use this opportunity to sample the beast 😃

My first impression — Perkons is BIG, really built like a tank, and feels very different from any drum machine I've used before. Each press of a button and turn of a knob feels significant—like I'm operating a submarine control panel or something. The sheer hands-on joy this instrument delivers is on another level; it's a machine you need to experience in person."

Hijack USB-C to power any Synth or Pedal with Step Up!


video upload by myVolts

"Luke Brennan, MD at myVolts giving a demonstration of our new Step Up USB-C power adapters can power a Chase Bliss pedal or a Digitakt Synth from just a standard USB Cable.

With a background in power adapters, myVolts have developed a range of solutions so you can power your synths, pedals, AV gear and more with USB. You can even power items that were previously powered by batteries.

The Silent Alchemist is an Isolated USB power hub, that allow you to do that without the buzz and humm usually associated with USB power.

In this video, he talks of how Step Up, a USB-C solution. With our 'Power My Gear' free webtool, you can plan out your USB power setup easily.

Ohmforce Bohm Kick Drum – Workshop at SchneidersLaden


video upload by SchneidersLaden

"Raphaël from Ohmforce presents the Bohm kick drum module and its expanders Groove and Performer, explores their wide sonic range and demonstrates modulation and performance techniques. Thank you for being our guest!

The Ohmforce Bohm has made a big impact on the Eurorack techno scene — and for good reason. Already during its prototype phase - we had it in our showroom for some time before the official release - it was clear that this module (together with its expanders) would become a go-to solution for powerful, flexible, and highly shapeable kick drums and so much more.

Whether you're diving into modular percussion for the first time or expanding your Eurorack techno workflow, this session offers an in-depth look at a modern kick drum powerhouse.

This video is the documentation of our workshop with Ohmforce, recorded live at SchneidersLaden on July 17th, 2025."

You can find additional Ohmforce Bohm demos here.
