SUPER saws for the win / with Happy Nerding SUPER SAWTOR (and how to live without it)
video upload by BRiES
"In this video I demonstrate a technique described in the Compare 2 Practical User guide (link below) for how to create animated supersaws. I also demonstrate the amazing Happy Nerding SUPER SAWTOR which makes it so much easier to create that thick sound. Also also: how amazing does that HN MMM VCF sound!?
Thanks to Happy Nerding for supporting this video."
Esu's Trifecta Gives You Godlike Power with Triple FX
video upload by Metamyther
"In this video, we dive into Esu's Trifecta, a powerful stereo triple-effects Eurorack module built for experimental sound design, aggressive textures, alien soundscapes, and modern electronic music production. Hear how Trifecta transforms modular synth patches with lush stereo processing, wild modulation, and gritty character that shines in any hardware-focused studio setup or live performance. If you're chasing unique effects chains and deep sound design, this hands-on demo shows why Esu’s Trifecta stands out as a creative weapon for pushing modular systems beyond the ordinary."

PATCH / INDUSTRIAL AMBIENT / full Joranalogue system
video upload by Joranalogue Audio Design
"In this patch I explored a more industrial ambient side of the Joranalogue Audio Design system. The highlight for me are the stereo pings made with dual COLLIDE 4 modules. The battery of CONTOUR 1 modules is essential here for creating interesting time relations between all the events in the patch. No external modules were used.
We started with 2 CONTOUR 1s chained together (FALL OUT to TRIG in) in a dual looping envelope patch. This way we created a tempo and a few modulation sources for 2 GENERATE 3s being crossmodulated.
The first sounds we hear in the jam are made in a similar fashion: a few interpatched CONTOUR 1 modules create gates that open and close very high pitched oscillators (G3 and OR3) for the beeps and noises.
The pitches for the melodies of the 2 pinged COLLIDE 4s are set by two STEP 8s. The highlight of this patch—for me personally—was the idea to use WALK 4 to select the stages of both STEP 8s. This way we were walking through the stages of both STEP 8s in a brownian way (not entirely random, not entirely linear).
Everything, apart from the kicksound, was mixed in stereo, using 2 x MIX 3 patched through to MORPH 4 from which we extracted the A+B and C+D outputs as a stereo pair.

FREE SYNTH: VAVRA (Waldorf Micro Q Emulator) - No talking demo
video upload by ADL-MusicLab
"Hello, everyone!
Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing VAVRA, a FREE software emulation of the Waldorf Micro Q 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 Motorola DSP56300.
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 an absolutely faithful Waldorf Micro Q recreation in software form.
More info here:
https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/vavra/
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."

Figuring out the circuitry of old DIY drum synth
video upload by organfairy
"I play it manually at 3:23 and run it with a step sequencer at 4:17.
This is another un-documented one from the vaults - one that I, for some inexplicable reason, have not made any written information about.
So in this video I go through it and find out how it is made.
The music is 'No Hollywood movie', originally recorded by Lesley Hamilton, that was a hit in Germany in 1978. Same year it was recorded in Danish by Gitte Hænning as 'Hollywood drømme' and in German as 'Von Hollywwod Träumen'. I play it on my Yamaha HE-8 organ with Korg Rhythm 55 drum machine - but I probably didn't do a very good job since YT couldn't recognise it..."

Simple Synth-Pop Crossover Session | Nobi 2026-01-19 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"This piece was created using @KORG_INC microKORG S, @teenageengineering OP- field, and NTS-1, forming a simple synth-pop crossover track.
On the microKORG S, melodies are performed while switching between different patches. The output is processed with reverb via @strymon blueSky.
The rhythm is handled by the OP-1 field, while the bass is played by the @KORG_INC NTS-1. Both are triggered via MIDI sent from Ableton Live.
Although it does not appear in the video, the Nord Lead is used to play harmonic parts, with reverb applied through @gfisys Specular Tempus."
