From Magazines to MASSIVE MODULAR // Erica Synths Elektor Formant
video upload by Starsky Carr
"The legendary Elektor Formant DIY modular synth from the 1970s is back — and this time it’s beautifully recreated by Erica Synths. In this in-depth demo and review, I explore the history of the original magazine-built Formant, the DIY ethos behind it, and how this modern recreation captures that vintage analogue modular magic.
Originally released as a self-build project through Elektor magazine, the Formant required builders to etch their own PCBs, source components, and assemble modules like the VCO, VCF, envelopes and more. It was true synth-nerd dedication. Now, Erica Synths has made that iconic system accessible again — without the UV PCB lab in your garage.
In this video:
π Overview of the Erica Synths Formant system
π The history of the original 1970s Elektor DIY kit
π Sound demos: VCOs, filter tones, modulation & patching
π Performance insights (including Synth East)
π€ Is this the ultimate vintage modular revival?"

A strange take on Polyphony
video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING and Stazma
"Hey there!
Today I'll show you how to divide and multiply the frequency of one static oscillator in order to creat a three voice polyphonic patch without touching a single keyboard!
Have fun!!"
Learn the multi-destination-modulation trick
video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk
"Stacking modulation sources is a powerful trick I mentioned in quite some of my videos. But the opposite, sending one modulation source to multiple destinations, is a great trick as well. In this video I tackle three variations of this concept in simple and musical variations."
Timetable:
00:00 – Intro
01:20 – Direct modulation
04:25 – Indirect modulation
08:06 – Modulation amount

DONNER ESSENTIAL L1 + KB-32M - No talking demo @Donnermusic_Official
video upload by ADL-MusicLab
"Hi everyone,
I’m beyond excited to introduce you my "No talking demo" of the Donner Essential L1 — a fully analog, monophonic subtractive synthesizer inspired by the legendary Roland SH-101.
In this video, you’ll hear the raw sound of the instrument with no voiceover and no unnecessary processing — just pure analog tones, basslines, sequences, leads and textures created directly from the synth.
The Donner Essential L1 features:

Speak & Glitch GND 1T circuit bent synthesizer: The power of Manual Morph and Drift Buffer Scaling
video upload by GND-1
"The GND-1T is available directly from https://richardvanhoesel.com/gnd1t
This video shows how to use two powerful tools on the Speak and Glitch GND-1T: manual patch morphing, and drift-buffer scaling. Combined they offer a powerful way to navigate the GND-1T's vast sonic landscape, and make creating unique new textures and patches very simple. There's a lot more that you can adjust in this process than I don't have time to show here, so see the manual for more information. But if you haven't used this combination so far with your GND-1T, I think you will be very happy to start doing so after watching this.
As usual, everything you hear in these demos is a direct stereo stream recorded from the GND-1T, without any external effects."

Presets of the Mighty SY99
video upload by CGMAGIK
"Released in 1991, the Yamaha SY99 was the SY series flagship. It used RCM synthesis (Realtime Convolution and Modulation) synthesis combining AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) and 6 Operator AFM (Advanced Frequency Modulation) Synthesis. RCM’s unique modulation capabilities enabled AWM samples as modulation sources for the AFM engine.
The SY99 featured a few significant upgrades over its sibling, the SY77:
A larger 76 note keyboard with zoned aftertouch (channel aftertouch programmable to affect notes played either above or below a split point independently)
Three times the amount of AWM waveforms (2 Mb in SY77 and 8 Mb in SY99)
-500 Kb of battery-backed user sample RAM, expandable to 3 Mb
-Upgraded SPX900 level multi effects
-Upgraded master keyboard functionality"
