Digitakt 2 is a Co-Producer – Track Breakdown
video upload by Sineway
"Obsidian is a track that emerged through working with the Digitakt II.
In this video, I break down the elements of the track, but more importantly how the ideas took shape. Not just what is happening, but how the Digitakt II actively shaped the music.
All synth sounds are sampled from the Arturia AstroLab 37. Rather than sequencing notes directly, full phrases and musical ideas were recorded into Digitakt II and then explored, reshaped and refined from there.
Drum sounds come from Digitone II, sampled and processed inside Digitakt II as part of the same workflow.
This isn’t just a track breakdown. It’s also the starting point for a short series of videos about how Digitakt II has changed the way I approach sample based music production, composition, and discovery. More on that very soon.

Moss Healing Meditation Music 🌿 Nervous System Calm & Anxiety Relief (432Hz)
video upload by Bio Music Vibrations
"Moss Meditation is a slow, immersive ambient soundscape inspired by the quiet intelligence of moss — one of the oldest and most resilient forms of life on Earth.
This deep meditation music was created to support nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and inner stillness.
There is no rush here. No rhythm to follow. Only sustained drones, gentle harmonic movement, and spacious tones tuned to 432Hz, allowing the body and mind to soften naturally.
Like moss, this music grows slowly.
It does not demand attention.
It creates an environment where healing can unfold on its own.
Perfect for:
Deep meditation & mindfulness
Anxiety and stress relief
Nervous system calming
Emotional release and rest
Sleep, stillness, and presence
Ambient background for healing spaces
Let this music become a safe place — where breath slows, thoughts dissolve, and the body remembers how to rest.
🎧 Best experienced with headphones or a calm listening space.
🌿 Created by Bio Music Vibrations."

January 2026 WIP
video upload by Exit Only
"Work in progress sequenced with Max. Most of the drum DSP is done in Max, with additional midi sequencing being sent to VSTs and a couple external synths. Also showing off my JSUI mtr editor that was developed alongside building the track."

Elastic OSCs only - iPad session #elasticosc #iossynth #mutableinstruments #plaits #ipadmusic
video upload by Elastic Instruments (Oliver Greschke)
"January iPad Jam - all sounds made with Elastic OSC (synth, boom, snare, hihat), sequenced via @octachron_ios_drum_sequencer for drums & @marionietoworld Harmony Bloom for melody.
Elastic OSC is a synthesizer app based on the DSP code of the Mutable Instruments Plaits hardware oscillator module, one of the most beloved (and cloned) oscillator module in the Eurorack modular scene."
What is it about the Oberheim TEO-5?
video upload by Molten Music Technology
"We've had the TEO-5 analogue synthesizer on show at the last couple of Synth Picnic events and it's consistently the synth people like the most. Let's have a wander through it's gooey electrical circuits to see if we can work out why."

Permida - Glitch Mode
video upload by Tre Modular
"This video dives into the unstable, twitchy, and glitchy side of Permida.
Permida is a 3-part utility module with a Sequential switch, Voltage-controlled switch, and Max value selector.
We have already released a demo video of how this module behaves normally. Now it’s time to explore what happens when you push Permida past its comfort zone:
VC switch jitter when riding the decision boundary
Sequential switch instability at its clock rate limits.
Max selector behavior with floating inputs.
These are the natural edge behaviors of analog circuits. And they open up new possibilities for chaotic rhythms and glitch textures.
Permida is polite when you want it to be. But if you push it, it reveals a different character.
