Digitakt 2 × AstroLab 37 – A Workflow Sineway Didn’t Expect


video upload by Sineway

"A Digitakt 2 performance built entirely from samples of the AstroLab 37.

Every synth sound in this track started on the AstroLab, then took on a new shape once chopped, pitched, and rebuilt inside the Digitakt 2. The workflow surprised me – the DT2 clicked as soon as I stopped trying to treat it like a sample-based Digitone 2 and leaned into what it really wants to be instead.

More Digitakt 2 content is coming – and more AstroLab-based stuff too. If you want a breakdown of this sample-chopping workflow, let me know in the comments."

"I had an idea to make a version of the popular MFOS Echo Rockit circuit that was portable and ran on USB power. Thanks to a few readily available parts and some DIY ingenuity, I assembled the Pocket Rockit.

Synthi Filter Exploration | Analogue Systems RS500N + Nano ONA Patch Talk


video upload by VoxModula Archives

"In this patch talk, I explore the character of the Analogue Systems RS500N Synthi Filter, paired with the Nano Modules ONA VCO.

The video is fully spoken and recorded live: I build the patch step by step, adjusting resonance, input drive, and modulation to show how the Synthi-style filter reacts with different signals and CV sources.

🎛️ Modules used:
• Analogue Systems RS500N Synthi Filter
• Nano Modules ONA (analog VCO)

This session focuses on sound shaping, resonance behaviour, and the unique response of the EMS-style filter inside a Eurorack context."

Xfer Serum 2: Dark Rhythmic Presets. Arps, Pads, Basses Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"❄️ Alchemy Of Glacial Rhythms is a bank of 50 rhythmic presets for Xfer Serum 2, inspired by the north and its cold winters, which are accompanied by a special dark magic. The core idea of the bank was to create rhythmic, atmospheric, and "cold" sounds that evoke a certain magic. The result was brutal yet ethereal arps, growling basslines, magic pads, cold noisy synths, and mystical textures.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/seru...
The bank includes 50 Presets: 10 arps, 10 basses, 10 pads, 10 synths, 10 textures.
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).

🔮 The soundset spans a wide range of tones, from warm, deep and atmospheric textures to clean, punchy, bright and airy timbres. The sounds include different combinations of oscillators in different modes, such as wavetable, FM, granular and spectral as well as different types of reverbs, delays, distortions, filters, and modulations.
Presets are suitable for genres such as ambient, cinematic, IDM, experimental, techno, breakbeat, jungle and many others.

🎛 Macros can change tone, stereo width, modulation depth and rate, noise level, distortion, detuning, space/echo/reverb, effects mix, envelope parameters, and others.
You may control them via MIDI controller, use them for automation, or map the macros to your DAW modulators like LFO, Shaper, and others.

ModWheel adds expressiveness to the timbre.

"Unique 'All-in-one' Vintage Synth. I purchased this locally from a hammond organ repair shop & brought it home, I was blown away by the accessible drum sounds & pattern based sequencing. Usually these type of keyboard is a "kids toy" but this was different, with the pure analog sounds piercing through my speakers, this thing busted through a mix with warm & 80's tones. The playable foot pedals are really fun connecting to the bass sounds. This is not only a collectors item with music history, but it's a playable instrument for synth wave, disco & electronic music producers & enthusiasts. The arpeggios & patterns spark inspiration & the drum sounds come in handy for even just sampling into a song manually if you are recording & only one to use one instrument for the entire song!

I've dived into this synth on many occasions & did the other night, so I know everything is in working order. I would recommend reading the manual since some of the standard workflow we are used to in 2025 wasn't normalized back then.

INCLUDEDS

- Synth, Original IEC Power, Cable, Keyboard Cover, 3 Soft Cases, Foot Pedal, Volume & Control Pedal

I have the original stand, but I have NOT INCLUDED it in the listing since it would add significant weight & size to the shipping. If you are interested, let me know!"
