This is a set of live, improvised dance music performed on a eurorack skiff with the Roland TR-1000. The TR-1000 provides most of the drums, and the eurorack does everything else.

07:33 - Elan vital
13:42 - Magnetic sleep
21:58 - Entelechy

I'm really happy with how this set turned out, and will probably try the setup again. I'd also love to give it a shot in a live environment, with actual humans dancing.

We’re diving into the Minimoog’s enduring legacy by dissecting its pivotal role in Sniff 'n' the Tears' "Drivers Seat," meticulously recreating the iconic lead and bass lines to demonstrate its timeless analog warmth and how its distinct character continues to shape modern electronic soundscapes.

One of my favorite tracks from the late 70s.

Xfer Serum 2 50 Presets: Dark Textures & Drones. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

🌌 "Fractured Atmospheres" is a collection of 50 atmospheric and experimental presets for Xfer Serum 2, made for producers who want emotional, evolving, and dark sounds with character.
The soundset moves between soft and pleasant atmospheres and noisy, unstable, and abstract tones, making it suitable for both musical ideas and sound design.

💾 The bank of presets includes: 12 Pads, 12 Strings, 14 Textures, and 12 Drones.

📦 Get these presets: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/seru...
👤 The author of the soundset is Ilian.
❗️Compatible only with Serum 2. Not compatible with Serum 1.

💎 The soundset is built around contrast and imperfection, drawing inspiration from natural phenomena, mental states, and inner anomalies.
Pads and strings blend smooth, emotional, and airy tones with subtle noise, creating fragile, lo-fi, and cinematic atmospheres, while textures and drones move into darker, noisier, and more atonal territory.

Shaped by slow or fast, evolving modulation, the presets feel expressive and alive, working as musical layers, background ambiences, or standalone soundscapes.

S4: Track in 10 - Bird samples

video upload by torso electronics

"An empty project and 10 minutes on the clock. In an uninterrupted one take we explore ideas, sculpt sounds, and let the S4 sculpting sampler guide the moment. "Track in 10" is about staying in the flow and creating without overthinking.

In this 'Track in 10' we are using the sound of four different birds to create a strange ambient soundscape.

A Love Story - Roland Cloud CR-78 First Look

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Roland CR-78 CompuRhythm is one of the most iconic drum machines ever made — and now it’s back as a stunningly accurate ACB emulation inside Roland Cloud. In this video I take a deep dive into the CR-78 plugin, exploring its legendary analog sound, programmable patterns, classic rhythms, and all the powerful new features that go far beyond the original 1978 hardware.

The original CR-78 was the world’s first programmable drum machine and became famous for its warm analog voices, signature presets and musical groove. It appeared on countless classic records — from Phil Collins and Blondie to early synth-pop, post-punk and electronic pioneers.

In this demo I explore:

Roland’s ACB (Analog Circuit Behaviour) modelling technology

How the CR-78 patterns, fills and variations work

Sound shaping with decay, tuning, gain and metallic tone

MIDI CC control and DAW automation

Live performance workflow and pattern programming

Why this is so much more than just a retro drum machine

If you love vintage drum machines, classic analog rhythms, synthwave, post-punk, electronic music production or hardware-accurate software instruments, this is one you don’t want to miss.

🎛 Classic analog warmth
🥁 Programmable rhythms & fills
🎚 Deep sound design
🎹 Full MIDI control
🔥 Perfect for synthwave, electro, indie, pop & film scoring

The CR-78 may look simple — but it’s a seriously powerful creative tool once you start digging in."

Hacking the Korg Phase8 to uncover NEW SOUNDS

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"The Korg Phase8 has been present in the collective synth-nerd consciousness for a few years, as Korg’s Berlin skunkworks department have slowly released details and demo’d prototypes, most notably at the last two Superbooth events. An iconic, mainstream synth manufacturer like Korg, exploring and experimenting with an entirely new concept in how synthesis can be used was an exciting prospect, and captured a lot of people’s imaginations - mine included.

I was lucky enough to find time to explore those prototypes at the previous two Superbooths, and even more lucky to have Korg approach me with a completed production model to make a video about.

The final model is an impressive physical instrument, with Korg Berlin’s industrial design chops on display, but I’m here mostly to talk about the sound and the functionality of the Phase 8, so in this video I’ll explore how it operates solo, how it can be integrated into a larger setup, try out some “extended techniques” and discuss where I feel the Phase 8 could be pushed further.

Transparency notice: Korg kindly sent over the Phase8 to make videos about. They haven't requested or been granted any oversight of the contents of the videos. I haven't otherwise been paid, but I do get to keep the unit shown in this video."
