Phonec3 Synthesizer by Psychic Modulation (No Talking)
video upload by Elektronick Musick
https://www.psychicmodulation.com/pho...
"Evolution of the original Phonec Synthesizer, retaining it's distinctive character while introducing new and expanded features with an improved workflow.
Inspired by the remnants of the video age, Phonec3 embraces the haunting qualities of decay and imperfection, exploring the various facets of aging sound. Drifting tones, fragile textures, faded melodies, distant atmospheres and irregular harmonics form a palette that feels organic and evolving. Aside from it's quirky nature, Phonec3 is a unique and powerful synthesizer, capable of producing a wide range of sounds in the realm of vintage analogue tones, lo-fi synthscapes, ethereal ambiance, minimal techno sequences, retro leads and hard hitting synth basses. It's intuitive GUI attempts to strike a balance between form and function, making it a very practical tool that can be creatively inspiring to work with."

"Just droning about with two syncussion voices in Mode A. That mode is coolk for kicks but not much else, so I thought I'd spice it up with vco B, filter fm, feedback and xmod. Use headphones or a sub for this one - low frequencies ahead..."
MODAL ARGON 8X - SOUND DEMO - CUSTOM PATCHES (ONLY PLAYING, NO TALKING)
video upload by Eaglechild
"Hi there!
I'm currently working on a custom sound pack for the Argon8X focused on 80s inspired tones, AOR, melodic rock, vintage pads, bells, brass and atmospheric textures.
These sounds are designed to capture the spirit of classic 80s synthesizers while taking advantage of the modern wavetable engine of the Argon8X.
I will add the download link in this description once it's released.
In the meantime, enjoy this short demo preview of some of the sounds I'm working on.
If you like 80s synth sounds, melodic rock keyboards, retro textures and modern wavetable synthesis, this pack might be for you. Enjoy!"

Boston Modular and Synth 10 Year Anniversary Event & Showcase
via Sam Holland:
"Sam Holland from Boston Modular and Synth here. We are a Meetup group and performance event series based in the Boston area, with around 900 members in our Meetup group. We have been around for a bit over 10 years, and regularly meet at Synthcube in Waltham, MA. Artists that have been active at our events include Bill T Miller, Bob Familiar, Noizcode, Switch Angel, and many others. We are a sister organization to New England Synthfest.
We are hoping to do a post celebrating our 10 year anniversary! We have an event at Synthcube on March 21st - it will be an 8-act showcase, including TotoRobyn, Noizcode, EmeraldArcana, Metal Tiger, Bill T Miller, and others. We also have a compilation thats out for pre-order: https://bostonmodular.bandcamp.com/album/boston-modular-and-synth-10-year-anniversary-showcase. 25 recordings from Boston Modular events in the past 10 years by 25 artists."
"Electronic musicians, synthesists, modular enthusiasts, drum machine savants, chiptune creators, drum machine freaks, noise mavens, visualists, and all around nice people.
We live primarily in the greater Boston area, but folks are known to drive in from all over the Northeast. Our basic practice is a monthly Meetup group where anyone is welcome to play a 5 minute live performance using any type of electronic instrument (including acoustic instruments with electronic treatments). As of 2026 our regular home was Synthcube in Waltham, MA. Boston Modular and Synth also runs performance showcases a couple of times a year with longer, more organized sets.
Boston Modular and Synth first met on October 12, 2015 in West Roxbury, MA under the organizing force of Paul Geffen. The current primary organizer is Sam Holland, aka Metal Tiger.
To learn more about the organization, please go to bostonmodular.org.
