The über-quirky, but fun Memorymoog sequencer explained | Synth geeks are strange people


video upload by Espen Kraft

"Memorymoog plus. Polyphonic and monophonic sequencing with CV & Gate old school and tons of fun. Syncing the Memorymoog can also be a challenge."

Chase Bliss: Generation Loss MkII Model Demo


video upload by MKustomAudio

"The ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ 'Generation Loss MkII' pedal simulates the sound of tape while offering a number of different models (EQ profiles based around physical hardware) for wide ranging results. To demonstrate the possibilities, full mixes of short ambient tracks I’ve previously posted were used. After setting the secondary/hidden settings and the DIP switches, a MIDI controller [NOVATION LAUNCHKEY MINI 37 MK4] was used to turn on/off the pedal and adjust the main parameters."

Music gear Santa heard you were good this year, so he finally dropped what you've been waiting all 2025 for: Reverb's best-selling gear of the year lists.

From the nostalgia-driven electric guitar cohort and demand for artist signature pedals, to the battle between amps and modelers and much, much more, Reverb's data-based rundown not only features an editorialized look at some of the top categories, but allows musicians to dig into the data at every level, from the best-selling pedals released in 2025, to the best-selling electric guitars of the year, new or otherwise.

PlantsSystem-PlantsEcho


video upload by plantssystem

"'PlantsEcho' by PlantsSystem is an organic electro track that quietly blends the smoothness of electronic sounds with the textures of natural objects.

The softly pulsating beat evokes the gentle vibrations of walking on earth, and the sound textures gently carry the feeling of wind and light.

Without a clear melody, the 'touch' of the sound resonates directly as emotion, bringing a gentle sense of calm to the listener's heart. While avoiding overstimulation, the track still has a strong, breathing groove, combining the comfort of breathing in nature with the refinement unique to electronic music.
