This song was born a few months ago while I was programming some patches for Magnolia. I'm not having a great time right now, but luckily, as sometimes happens, music has come to help me. This song carries hope and all my wishes for peace and serenity.
All synth sounds are from Frap Tools Magnolia.

US-3X - Expanded Vintage and Modern Guitar Synthesizer Switcher
video upload by WayneJoness
"This video details the US-3X, a modern alternative I developed for the rare, vintage Roland US-2 in 2011."
https://gr300.com/US2.htm
"US-3X - Roland US-2 Alternative
In 2011 I made a one-off unit called the US-3X. The US-3X provided the inspiration for the Roland US-2 Turbo, but the US-3X still uses the original 24-pin connectors."

FREE SYNTH: OB-Xf (Oberheim OB-X Emulation) - No talking demo
video upload by ADL-MusicLab
"Hi, everyone!
OB-Xf is a continuation and modernization of the last open source version of OB-Xd by 2DaT and later discoDSP, bringing together several efforts going on in the audio space and combining them inside the Surge Synth Team infrastructure.
It is an amazing freely downloadable virtual synthesizer inspired by the venerable Oberheim OB-X.
The original Oberheim OB-X is one of the best analog poly-synths ever, used by Rush, Van Halen, Queen, Japan, Eurythmics, Ultravox, Tangerine Dream and many others.
It is a classic synthesizer with a timeless sound that continues to captivate musicians and producers alike. With its rich, full-bodied tones and expansive sound design capabilities, the OB-Xf is the perfect choice for those looking to add a vintage touch to their music.
The OB-Xf is a synthesizer that has been designed to recreate the sound and behavior of the Oberheim OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8. However, the architecture of the original instruments was limited in some ways, so the OB-Xf includes a number of additional or altered features. Overall, the OB-Xf has been designed to produce a sound that is as good and as rich as the original OB-X.
Also, like many synths of the OB-X's generation, the OB-Xf has no internal effects so its sounds and textures can be greatly enhanced by the use of additional processing like chorus, reverb, delay, etc.
In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning synth simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful presets.
No additional effects or outboard processing here. What you listen is what you get!

BreakBud - Synth Breakbeat Pad Machine
A new app in via Cem Oclay
"Build Rhythms Fast with Pads and Sequencing
The 4x4 pad grid gives you 16 playable pads, each with its own full sound, pattern, and groove setup.
Switch pads instantly to move between variations without stopping the flow.
The step sequencer gives you direct control over steps, velocity, and timing.
Each voice can use its own step count and rate for polyrhythms, uneven loops, and evolving patterns.
Swing, nudge, and humanize make it easy to dial in a tighter or looser feel.
- 6 synthesized drum voices (100% synth, not sample based)
- 16 pads where each pad has its own sequencer pattern and parameter locks
- Super flexible sequencer where each row can have 1-16 steps (polyrhythms!) and microtiming with swing+nudge+humanizer combo
- A sweet, algorithmic pattern generator
- Full MIDI compatibility (pad in, pad out, voice in, sequencer out)
- AUv3 multiout support per drum voice"

Roland JX-70 / JX-10 rack mount note to LED addition
video upload by Craig Barnes
"I had finished this project, but originally the 16 patch and bank buttons were dual LEDs. Today I started to replace them with blanks and thought, what if I leave patch buttons 1-6 as dual LEDs and add a simple processor to intercept the serial Comms between the assigner board and the voice boards. Effectively creating a midi to trigger to display the notes as LEDs."
