Korg Phase8 Sequenced by Ableton Live in the Context of a Film Score

video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

As the title states, I just wanted to show how you can sequence the ‪@KORG_INC‬ Phase8 with ‪@Ableton‬ Live. I used three MIDI tracks to sequence the Phase8, with each MIDI track played live into Ableton via my Waldorf Quantum (as my main controller.) I also added some quick, rough film score elements towards the end to show the Phase8 in a full musical context."

GHOST pedal vs 303 shootout with new V4 Firmware Update

video upload by Endorphin.es

"New GHOST Pedal V4 firmware update available now:
https://www.endorphin.es/modules/p/gh...

TB-303 ready: added a more 'squashed / pressed' response so acid lines feel dense and consistent, with better note-to-note stability
cleaner high-gain: reduced hiss and unwanted artifacts at extreme drive settings while keeping the same aggressive maximum gain range.
more musical dynamics: improved touch response and transient control so the drive feels more alive instead of flat
new 'Fairfax'-style, asymmetrical drive character: smoother, more amp-like breakup with a tighter feel and richer mid harmonics
dive more stable at high sample rate (96 kHz): optimized oversampling/filtering for premium distortion quality without CPU spikes.
What type of drive is it? It’s a high-gain soft-clip overdrive / distortion: amp-like saturation at lower settings, and full distortion territory at high drive with smoother harmonics and more sustain.
hall reverb is lusher: denser diffusion + more modulation depth gives a wider, more spacious 'big hall' feel
predelay for all reverbs is smoother: knob adjustments are cleaner with fewer artifacts while turning.
reverse reverb is more polished: improved wet shaping and saturation for smoother, more musical reverse tails.
spring stereo behavior improved: more consistent left/right output and a more natural 'drip' feel.
more stable LRRL and LRLR taps behavior: they pass properly thru the LP/HP tone filter inside the delay tank
creamier resonance: resonance behavior is more musical, with less clipping at extreme resonance sweeps.
comb filtering smoother when tweaking: reduced zipper/crackle when moving controls; more stable, playable comb textures.
delay: 7/4 divider changed to 3/8 (=dotted 1/16), 5/4 divider changed to 2/3 (=triplet 1/4). Meanwhile 3/4 = dotted 1/8, 3/2 = dotted 1/4, 1/3 = 1/8 triplet are working as is
dividers knob action inverted to properly match the scales around the knob
dry and wet properly phase aligned with less chorusing - still any MIX with filters applied may cause phasing effects which are unavoidable
hall reverb is selected after soft reset (to defaults parameters)
fixed an issue where very fast MIDI preset switching by Program change could cause the pedal to freeze."

Coming soon! The legends of digital instruments

"First look to Vintage Casio Legacy, a 6-instrument suite preserving Casio’s pioneering digital synthesizers.

Developed in close collaboration with Casio and officially approved
by CASIO Computer Co., Ltd., the collection represents one of the most thorough efforts ever undertaken to document these instruments in software form.

Minimal Music with TENORI-ON and OP-1 field | Little Pan 2026-04-07 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A minimal music piece created with TENORI-ON and OP-1 field.

Created with TENORI-ON, OP-1 field, and MOTIF-RACK ES.

On the TENORI-ON, a simple phrase repeats while the pattern is gradually changed. Micro loop sound textures are layered using MOOD MKII.

On the OP-1 field, harmonies are performed while reverb and delay are applied using LOST+FOUND.

On the MOTIF-RACK ES, bell and log drum phrases are played with slight timing offsets."

Memories | Roland JX3P and Fractal Audio FM3 nostalgic instrumental

video upload by MIDERA

"So, I sold my JX3P, my amazing condition JX3P, because I had the System 8 and the Jupiter 6. Fast track to now, a friend sells me a beat up JX3P and I think "I'll test it out again..." And man what a synth. The System 8 really doesn't do it justice. I can't believe I kept the JP6 over the JX3P, which sounds far better than the JP6 or System 8. What a bummer. Now, just like the D-50, I sold a mint condition one, and ended up with a junker :/ Sigh... well, the Jupiter 6 is gone (couldn't be more glad to be honest), and I'm eyeing the System 8...

Fractal Audio FM3 used for FX.

Audio Mangling Modulator/Demodulator

This module is a modulator/demodulator. The top four knobs interact with each other to take a signal and mangle it beyond all recognition, or if you're patient and lucky, let the signal come through mostly unchanged.

What is going on there? you ask. The input is used to frequency-modulate a VCO that can oscillate beyond anybody's hearing range. The resulting (possibly ultrasonic) signal frequency-modulates a second identical VCO. This leads to the kind of signal degradation you might expect from an AM radio transmission. Or a short wave signal fighting its way through a hurricane.

The rest of the knobs control filtering; high-pass to remove the truly ground-shaking rumbles the top for knobs can generate, and resonant low-pass to get the harsh high pitches out of the signal, and emphasize (for example) the frequency range of human speech, if you want to pass old movie dialogue through this.

Also included are a wet/dry control (while prototyping this module I would sometimes spend minutes looking for the perfect knob settings to allow a signal through just to realize the signal source had stopped playing), a CV input for the low-pass filter with an attenuator knob, and a effect volume knob.

Some fun things to try:

with zero input, try to get a modem sound!
connect a simple waveform and massage the top four knobs to fold the wave in surprising ways
David Lynch. Put David Lynch through this.
turn the resonance of the low-pass VCF up and use this as a VCO (not 1V/oct, I'm afraid
Turn both "Carrier" knobs all the way down, so the VCOs are stalled, and listen to the signal bash its way through

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

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.
