In this video, I break down my favorite sound design tricks to make a synth sound evil, dark and meaner. From subtle detuning and dissonance to modulation and instability, these techniques can transform any synth into an industrial machine. If you’re into industrial, EBM, Nine Inch Nails–style sound design, or dark cinematic synths, these ideas will help you create heavier and more unsettling sounds in your productions.

Asynchronous Minimal Ambient with OP-1 field and norns shield | Confluence 2026-03-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-1, and norns shield. It is minimal ambient where overlapping asynchronous phrases gradually change.

On the OP-1 field, a 38 step phrase runs with the ENDLESS sequencer while reverb from ‪@strymon‬ blueSky is applied.

On the NTS-1, a square wave tone shaped with a filter is processed with delay and reverb, and sequenced by the SQ-1.

On the norns shield, a piano phrase is recorded into Graintopia with slight distortion and processed with granular synthesis. Delay and reverb from ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND are applied.

The three sound sources run without synchronization. Their timing differences create subtle changes in the evolving sound texture."

video upload by The Synth King

"Hi,
I had the pleasure to test the Donner Essential L1, a very powerful monophonic analog synthesizer quite similar to the Roland SH-101. I made some sounds, sequences and synth sketches. I used Valhalla Massive as delay and reverb. Enjoy the music !
Bernd"

"This is demo number 3 of the PM Foundations Variable Filter Bank. This is a two part video, starting with using one module animated by four LFOs (at 0:00), followed by two modules animated by eight LFOs in stereo (at 3:56). The second part really needs headphones."
