"Here is a quick demo of the Casio FZ module in operation using our OLED display kit."

Moog SPECTRAVOX - Part 1 - The Synth Within It?


video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"Without reading the user manual, I hooked up the Moog Spectravox to the Moog Messenger (cv, gate and clock) to see what can I get.
The result speaks for itself, but I'll comeback for more, since I know it can do a lot more!"

"And please, lower your volume, Spectravox has a tremendous output! Any distortions you hear is because the recording looks like a brick! (I had the audio monitor lowered and everything seemed fine, until I saw the recording...)"

Kowloon Park Field Recordings & Prophet-10 Ambient | Park and Birds 2025-11-30 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using field recordings from Kowloon Park in Hong Kong, along with the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10 and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field.
It is an ambient electronica work where synthesizer harmonies resonate over a backdrop of birdsong.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed and processed with reverb using the blueSky.

The OP-1 field is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND and ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, adding tape-style effects and reverb, followed by an additional layer of reverb and filtering from the NIGHTSKY.

The park ambience was recorded at Kowloon Park on November 26, 2025, using a TASCAM Portacapture X8."

Meet the Wizard : Inside Italys First Consumer Synthesizer

Here it is, we can hardly believe it but it's finally happened!

We found a STEELPHON MAGO - well, actually we found two - this was Italys first consumer synthesizer - in a sense that it was manufactured in a factory to be sold to consumers rather than invented at home by an enthusiast or sold as an oscillator assembly kit.

Made in Turin in the modest production run of about 50 way back in 1971, this is a small but extremely powerful monophonic single oscillator synth.

This unit is currently for sale - contact us for info and price via the website linked below.

Most of the technical specifications are featured in the video already as text - but a quick introduction and recap would go something like this:

This is the predecessor to the Steelphon S900 but a single oscillator monophonic synth with a bit different sound : organic, raw and expressive.
The snappy envelopes in combination with the Moog ladder filter makes it an amazing sound effect maker but it as well produces great bass lines and delicate leads.

6 footages with individual Saw or Square Wave for each footage

PlantsSystem-SIDTRAX


video upload by plantssystem

"Combining the Rebirth RB-338 with SidStation Mod 2.0 (Mods), we've reimagined the classic SID sound for a modern era.

This hybrid track combines a distinctive retro feel with groovy acid lines, creating a chiptune-analog electro mix.

This track, 'SIDTRAX,' combines:

The gritty waveforms characteristic of the SID chip
Rebirth's signature TB-303/TR-808-inspired phrases
The multi-layered, aggressive synth textures provided by the Mods
to create a nostalgic yet dance-floor-friendly worldview."

Cosmolab: Rapid audio hardware prototyping #faselunare


video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"The #cosmolab by #faselunare ( https://sndmt.link/cosmolab-fs ), based on the #daisyseed #mpu, is a development board for audio projects: synthesizers, effects pedals, sequencers, modular gear, samplers, groove boxes - whatever you can think of. In this video, I walk through the functions and features and create a mod reverb with this board.

patching w/ bionic lester 1.5


video upload by justin3am

"Just exploring some of the potential for mayhem provided by the Bionic Lester mk 1.5, Industial Music Electronics. A dual switched capacitor filter with output mixers, different clocking options and aliasing.

I chose the Type A filter chip which makes it closer to the original Bionic Lester. Some really brutal sounds in this thing."

"A pre-owned Conductive Labs NDLR in good condition. It comes with original packaging and accessories.

Manufacturer's description
A MIDI Four-track, Sequenced Arpeggiator, Chord and Drone Player

We’ve turned complex music theory into a killer synthesizer jamming MIDI controller. With four parts that can play up to 8 synths, you can make fantastic electronic music, such as soundscapes, electronica, ambient, electro, or techno to name a few. Whether noodling in your music space after work or jamming with friends, The NDLR can take your music to amazing places!

Press one of the seven chord buttons, and the two arpeggiators and drone follow the chord notes while your polyphonic synth sings with pads.

There are start and stop buttons for each of the four parts, and a button to start/stop all parts. And there’s a “panic” button to stop all MIDI notes.
