ROLAND TR-1000 [02] // LØSTLVLS

video upload by LØSTLVLS

"Exploring the wonky lo-fi glitch-beat side of the TR-1000, inspired by Kona Triangle's Sing a Sapling into Existence album from 2009.

Back in 2014 I got into Teebs, Flying Lotus, Shlohmo, Shigeto and a bunch more, after being obsessed with Nujabes, Five Deez, Shing02, Fat Jon and a bunch of others. Something about dense, ducking textures with thick kicks and wonky percussion sets my soul alight.

The SP-404 was a 'founding piece' of my musical development - while the MPC 1000 was perfection, the SP was portable and performative in ways that perfectly complemented the MPC - I was lucky enough to see Teebs live performing with his two SP-404s and his set was awesome. If you remember the old Roland forums where Flying Lotus personally shared the 'FlyLo Technique' then you officially rock.

Anyway, enjoy!

WMD CLUTCH - How to customize your module's interface with the HIHAT.INI text file.

video upload by WMDevices

"WMD Clutch is a sample based hihat module with two layers of samples, lots of performance features, built-in effects, and loads of CV control making it a percussion powerhouse. It also features an editable text file which allows you to customize how the interface behaves, dial in the tone of the effects, and much more.

In this video, we go through how to interperate the file, and how to edit the parameters, giving examples and explanations along the way."

OP-XY ambient with mixer & tape

video upload by Robot Ostrich Dreams

"Expanding the OP-XY for live performance.

I love the OP-XY as a standalone tool, but for this ambient jam, I wanted more tactile control. I’m using the Novation Launch Control XL (mk2) to handle mixing and spatial effects.

The Mapping:
Volume on faders.
Filters on the top pots.
Delay and Reverb sends on the remaining knobs.

Watch for the drum processing in the second half. By sending only the drums to the Tape track, I can trigger glitchy breaks and fills without affecting the melodic elements.

Gear:
Teenage Engineering OP-XY
Novation Launch Control XL (mk2)
iPhone 17 Pro"

Teenage Engineering OPXY // DAY 1 #jamuary2026

video upload by Dexba

"This year, I really want to try.
I want to get better, I want to become more fluent in the language of the many instruments I've collected, I have no idea where this will lead me, probably I'll feel the urge to sell everything and go back to just listening to other people's music, but in order to find that out, I need to at least try.
So here we are!"

Where Digital Meets Vintage Soul

video upload by Jose's Vintage Keys

"This demo explores the overlap between modern digital synthesis and classic instruments. The ‪@GrooveSynthesis‬ 3rd Wave 8M sits at the center, supported by the warmth of the OB-X and the expressive touch of the CP70 electric grand piano. Using presets by ‪@devinbelangermusic‬ and ‪@MattJohnsonskeyspace‬

I am not yet good enough to program it myself - their sounds are a wonderful start to get to know the instrument and its vast sonic possibilities. #3rdwave"

FREE SYNTH: JE-8086 (Roland JP-8000 Emulator) - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing JE-8086, a FREE software emulation of the Roland JP-8000 by 'The Usual Suspects', which brings back to life this iconic synthesizer!

'The Usual Suspects' is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the DSP chip from original historic hardware synthesizers, which, in this case, is the Toshiba TC170C140.

As is usual with The Usual Suspects releases, you’ll need to provide the original ROM, legally acquired, of course.

The architecture, signal flow, and character closely follow the original hardware, making this one of the most faithful JP-8000 recreations currently available in software form.

More info here:
https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/je8086/

In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning plugin simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful sounds.
