Playing the Prophet through the most beautiful delay

video upload by Julian "J3PO" Pollack

"I am borrowing the Knif Audio BBD and it's truly the holy grail of bucket brigade delay units. There are only a handful of them in existence, and I'm lucky to get to use it in my studio for a while. The Prophet 10 was an obvious choice to pair with the Knif BBD. I've been getting to know the Knif BBD and decided to record a 10-minute improvisation for you to be able to hear how beautiful these sounds are. Hope you enjoy. Endless inspiration with these two instruments. They are not only beautiful sounding, but beautiful looking and feeling as well."

Gear used in this video:
• Prophet 10
• Knif Audio BBD

Web Based Online Editor for the Original Nord Modular

video upload by Peter van der Noord

"A short update on the browser based Nord Modular Editor that I am currently working on as a fun hobby project."

Additional details via https://nordmodulareditor.com where you can try it out yourself if you own an original Nord Modular:

"Nord Modular G1 Editor

Create, edit and (soon) share your Nord Modular patches with the community.

Some quick remarks:

This is still a very early version. A lot of things don't work or don't work correctly yet.
You should be able to edit patches, browse slots, add modules and cables, adjust parameters and load patches into a slot.
You probably want to run this in the Chrome browser, i haven't tested others.
I have only tested this with a Nord Modular Keys for now, I assume the Rack version will work the same but I don't know about the Micro. I assumed it would work the same but it appears that some people have issues getting it to connect.
Parameter values are often shown as their raw 0–127 values.
None of the displays work yet.
When something is wrong, updates don't come through, or communication seems to be stuck: refresh the page.
When using a trackpad, you probably want to use "scroll to pan" navigation. You can select this in the settings.
To add a module, drag it from the toolbar on top.
To delete a module or cable, select it and hit delete.
The tab key in the editor will toggle rendering cables behind or in front of the modules.
If you were following my personal YouTube channel for updates, please follow my other channel instead.
Feedback is much appreciated, but I don't have a proper way to do that yet.
This is a personal hobby project. I am not affiliated with or connected to Nord in any way.

Using Step 8 with Nibbler and Maths to generate rhythms

video upload by Peter Plugs Patches

"Using patterns from the Schlappi Nibbler to control the current stage of the Joranalogue Step 8, with the Make Noise Math attenuating and offsetting the cv signal to create variations. Sounds are coming from Quad Drum, SSF Entity Ultraperc, Mutable Instruments Plaits, Winter Modular Zaps and Basimilus Iteritas Alter.

NRSynth Quatuor Polyphonic sounds

video upload by Nr Synth

"Some exemples of the polyphonic mode (typical 'Oberheim' flavour).

WARNING: i'm not a musician, don't expect a 'killer' playing...

Long resonant filter sweep.
Brass jumpy style
Polysynth saw
Another thing with resonance!

As usual, no traitement except delay/reverb in Cubase."

Patch Memory #5: Micromonsta 2: one synth voice as a complete drum kit

video upload by djr brunstein

"Using one voice of an Audiothingies Micromonsta 2 to build a pseudo drum voice. Sorry for the vaguely rage-baity thumbnail - obviously this synth won't replace any of those drum machines but a man has to find his clicks somewhere!

In the video I say that the synth is in stock- unfortunately it went out of stock whilst I was editing. You can sign up to the waitlist here: https://www.audiothingies.com/"

It's Finally Here // UDO DMNO Review and demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The UDO Domino *is here… and it might be one of the most interesting hybrid synths we’ve seen in years. In this full demo, review, and walkthrough, I explore what makes this *8-voice hybrid polysynth so unique — from its dual synth architecture to its incredibly flexible filter section and deep modulation capabilities.

With FPGA oscillators, analog-style waveforms, 32 digital waves, and a powerful dual-engine design inspired by classic SEM-style layouts, the Domino sits somewhere between vintage character and modern sonic experimentation. And yes… it can get beautifully weird.

In this video, you’ll hear real-world sound demos, explore the interface, and see how far you can push this synth — from lush pads to aggressive, experimental textures.

🎛️ What you’ll learn in this video:
Overview of the UDO Domino architecture
Dual synth engines (Domino 1 & 2) and layering possibilities
FPGA oscillators + digital waveforms
Deep modulation options (LFOs, envelopes, cross-modulation)
Advanced filter modes: low pass, band pass, high pass, phase & more
Stereo, parallel & series routing
Effects: chorus, drive, delay, reverb & EQ
Play modes, binaural mode & voice variations
Real sound demos and performance examples

🎧 Why this synth stands out
The Domino goes far beyond a traditional polysynth. With extreme flexibility in routing, modulation, and filtering, it behaves more like an experimental sound design tool than a conventional keyboard — while still being intuitive and hands-on.

🎹 My verdict
This isn’t just another synth — it’s a playable, exploratory instrument that encourages experimentation and rewards creativity. If you like synths that go beyond the obvious… this one’s worth a serious look."

Speak & Music — Lo Fi Retro Synth as a Virtual Instrument (Decent Sampler)

video upload by A Last Picture From Voyager

"I turned a rare 1980s Texas Instruments toy synth - the 'Speak & Music' - into
a full virtual instrument. Here's the demo and a live track built entirely with it.

This little plastic relic from 1981 has one of the most unique lo-fi tones I've
ever heard: wobbly oscillators, crushed bit-depth, and a raw analog character that
no modern synthesizer can replicate. So I sampled every note, every texture, every
glitch — and built a playable virtual instrument from scratch.

ABOUT THE SOUND
─────────────────────────────────
The Speak & Music was part of Texas Instruments' "Speak & Spell" family —
a range of educational toys with surprisingly musical internal hardware.
Its built-in synthesizer produces the kind of retro, degraded, lo-fi tones
that music producers have been chasing with vintage synth VSTs and lo-fi
sample packs for years. This is the real thing, captured and made playable.

Perfect for: lofi beats, ambient pads, cinematic textures, lo-fi music production,
experimental electronic music, and anyone who loves the sound of broken vintage gear.
