Monomachine sequence through DIY gong speaker

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"This was an experiment I made. A few years back I made a DIY gong speaker and amp - using a cheap gong gong, a salvaged akai reel to reel case and a class D amplifier. I wanted to play around with it this week - so I brought it out of storage together with an Elektron Monomachine. I made a simple 4 bar pattern based mainly on me liking the sound produced. I shared an image of the setup on the swedish 99musik forum - and was asked for a sound sample. Here it is. The dry output can be heard at the end."

170BPM Elektron Machinedrum MD Zero Kit

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Machinedrum Sample Pack
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
The Elektron Machinedrum, first introduced in the early 2000s, was not simply a drum machine. It was a digital architecture built to generate percussion with surgical precision and metallic sharpness. Its synthesis models produced results that went beyond drum programming, moving into the territory of sound design. Even today, no software plugin has managed to fully replicate its distinctive texture.
This collection captures that uniqueness. Every sample was recorded directly from the Machinedrum itself. No external processing, no layering. What you hear is the circuitry of early Elektron design, distilled into one-shots that highlight the instrument’s raw identity."

700 Function Processor Patch #4 | simple techno

video upload by Gm Xe

"This patch creates a simple techno groove using three PatternSeq channels.
Each PatternSeq sends trigger signals to the drum machine, pitch CV, and pulse signals to the 208. Wave shape is modulated with random control for added movement and variation.

Three PatternSeq modules handle:

Trigger outputs to the drum machine

Pitch CV sequencing

Pulse signals to the 208

Random modulation applied to wave shape

Hope you enjoy this patch.

Moog Messenger + Minifreak + Prophet-6 = time dissolving

video upload by Good Sunset

"Somewhere in the middle of this jam, I realized the key to happiness. A patch bay! Finally to have every pedal available to every synth in any combination—without tearing up my entire setup!

At least…that’s what I think they’re for. Advice appreciated, as I have a PX3000 on the way 😅

Melancholy dawless mostly analog synth jam featuring:

🙈 ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Messenger + ‪@strymon‬ Deco + @sourceaudio Collider
🙉 ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-6 + ‪@walrusaudioeffects‬ Qi
🙊 ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬ Minifreak + Source Audio Artifakt

Thanks for listening. 🤍 GS

Making ANOTHER $75 synth! (MT32-pi)

video upload by Guinan

Follow-up to this post.

"I made ANOTHER Raspberry Pi-based $75* synth to pair with my Circuit Tracks.

(*approx price depending on a whole bunch of local factors...)

The commentary is long and unscripted (full of ums & errs!) so if you want to jump to a particular section the sections are as follows,

00:04 Intro
00:21 MicroDEXED synth
01:00 MT32-pi
01:52 Why emulate the Roland MT-32?
02:55 General MIDI vs. MT-32
04:03 Soundfonts (.SF2)
05:21 MT32-pi bootup
05:55 JV-1010 emulation soundfont demo
08:23 Using the Circuit Tracks Mixer and Effects on the MT32-pi
09:55 Selecting presets from the Tracks
12:00 Conclusions

This time I've used open-source hardware and software designed around the MT32-pi project. See link here,
https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi

There's a very excellent detailed build and demo video from ‪@mr_floydst‬ here, • MT32-Pi DIY synthesizer: bare metal 80s no... [below]

Oddly the hardware worked out cheaper (despite a bigger display) as this is a commoner target build.

This excellent project uses any Pi from the Pi Zero 2W upwards to recreate a multi-timbral emulation of the Roland MT-32 synth and also act as a player for soundfonts in the .SF2 format.

Roland MT-32,

I used a pre-assembled hardware kit from Ebay with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (with header). The assmbled complete hardware can also be bought from sites such as Etsy etc."

MT32-Pi DIY synthesizer: bare metal 80s nostalgia

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"This week, let's build and take a look at the #MT32 PI, another "bare metal" synthesizer running on #RaspberryPi. This is an emulator for the late #80s Roland MT-32 sound module, which was used by a lot of games for their sound track. The MT-32 PI can also load soundfonts, so you can use it as a ROMpler in your setup. Table of contents:
