"En este video exploramos en profundidad el Yamaha DX-1, uno de los sintetizadores más difíciles de conseguir de todos los tiempos.

Considerado el modelo más exclusivo de la serie DX, el Yamaha DX-1 fue diseñado como una verdadera obra maestra de la síntesis FM. Con una construcción premium, teclas contrapesadas y una arquitectura basada en el legendario Yamaha DX7, este instrumento representó el máximo lujo tecnológico de su época."

Googlish:

"In this video, we explore in depth the Yamaha DX-1—one of the rarest synthesizers of all time.

Programando el Yamaha CS-80: el sintetizador más expresivo de la historia

video upload by Mauro Brunetti Música

"En este video exploramos en profundidad el Yamaha CS-80, uno de los sintetizadores más expresivos y míticos de todos los tiempos.

Considerado por muchos como el sintetizador más expresivo de la historia, el CS-80 revolucionó la forma de tocar sintetizadores gracias a su aftertouch polifónico, su ribbon controller y su enorme capacidad para moldear el sonido en tiempo real.

En este recorrido programamos sonidos paso a paso y exploramos las posibilidades expresivas que hicieron del Yamaha CS-80 un instrumento único, capaz de responder al intérprete como pocos sintetizadores en la historia."

"In this video, we take an in-depth look at the Yamaha CS-80—one of the most expressive and legendary synthesizers of all time.

Considered by many to be the most expressive synthesizer in history, the CS-80 revolutionized the way synthesizers are played, thanks to its polyphonic aftertouch, ribbon controller, and immense capacity for real-time sound shaping.

In this walkthrough, we program sounds step-by-step and explore the expressive possibilities that made the Yamaha CS-80 a truly unique instrument—one capable of responding to the performer in a way that few other synthesizers in history ever could."

ECHON 6: Turning Time Into Sound

video upload by OoraMusic and Morphor

"ECHON 6 is a unique six-voice analog instrument built around bucket brigade delays, where sound is generated through feedback and time itself becomes part of the synthesis process.
In this video, see how exciters, resonators, and controlled feedback interact to create evolving textures, chords, and hypnotic patterns—from delicate atmospheres to raw, atonal sequences.

This is not meant to be a technical demo, but a sonic exploration.

No screens, no shortcuts—just a deep, hands-on approach to shaping sound."

Explaining and testing the Time Machine & VCA Expander by OAM Modular

video upload by Stazma

"Today we check out the Time Machine by OAM Modular, on it's own and with it's new VCA Expander.

This thing is a very weird and powerfull 8 Tap delay with an agressive feedback path and a VERY wide range of delay time. It can go from ambient style delay / reverb to pure glitch madness (great on drums). Oh and it's stereo and clock syncable."

SEOK - PLUTNIK – Complex Dual VC-LFO [DEMO no talk]

video upload by SEOK synthesizers

"This is a pure modulation party in a small footprint. The Morph and Merge functions provide access to complex waveforms for a wide range of modulation. Distribute them across your rack via nine outputs.

Each LFO offers fast or slow cycling, with selectable square and triangle shapes. The fast cycles reach into audio territory at around 100 Hz, making it useful for percussive modulation and low-end movement. In slow mode, cycles extend up to ~35 seconds. With external negative CV, this can be pushed into the range of around 10 minutes.

Blend the LFO signals, or any external signals (including audio), in the Morph section. Or use the signals in the relational logic section, Merge, which opens up a wide set of derived waveforms by slicing, combining or rectifying. Pseudo waveshaping.

Designed and hand-built in Sweden."
