Buchla 259e Bongo | 160 BPM

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Don Buchla’s electronic instruments can be understood as musical tools and as environments for exploration. They allow performers to play in a physical and expressive way, yet they also invite a method of working that resembles research into the behavior of voltage and timbre.
Buchla did not follow the conventions of keyboard based instruments. Instead he created systems in which sound could be shaped through touch sensitive controls, complex modulation, and freely arranged signal paths. As a result, each patch becomes both a performance setup and a place to investigate how tones, noise sources, control voltages and modulation can interact within an electronic space."

Synth Stuff Ep. 91 - Novation Ultranova

video upload by tritonrecordings

"The Novation Ultranova is one underrated synth. On one hand, they're kind of "old news," but they are cheap, and full of great sounds. The overall sound of the Ultranova reminds me of something like the Korg Radias, but these fetch much lower prices than the Radias does. Editing sounds is fairly intuitive despite the interface. Definitely worth checking out if you come across one. I use one in my live rig, since it's something easy to replace if needed, it weighs nothing, and there are plenty of them out there."

A Rare First Listen: Four Classic Oberheims

video upload by Jose's Vintage Keys

"I was lucky enough to borrow three beautiful vintage Oberheims from a good friend. Together with my own OB-X, that gave me the rare chance to put four classic Oberheim polys side by side: the OB-X, OB-Xa, OB-8 and EVS.

This is not a polished shootout or a scientific comparison. It is simply a first impression, a first test after the synths came back from major servicing. Just playing, listening and enjoying that unmistakable Oberheim sound.

Huge thanks to my friend for trusting me with these incredible instruments. I’m a lucky man.

In this video:

Four legendary Oberheims in one room. What a sound."

A Roland MKS-80 REV5 demo

"April has not been an easy month. Incoming medical procedure (May 1st) and a whole host of other problems/issues... This track is a good representation of it, because my video was corrupted. So you'll have to make do without the visuals, unfortunately.

Twenties - Hybrid Setup Jam (Analog + Move)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"This one’s built around two main pieces of gear: the Vermona Perfourmer handling nearly all melodic duties (bass, plucks, lead), and the Ableton Move taking care of drums plus a few piano/strings layers.

You already know the Perfourmer is one of my all-time favorites, but the Move keeps surprising me: super versatile for a 4-track box, and I feel like it doesn’t get as much love as it deserves ❤️

Everything is sequenced from the Hapax, I skipped the Move’s internal sequencer this time as it's easier to control all the sequences only on one machine. The breaks come from the Hapax 'FILL' feature as usual.

I treated the Perfourmer like three separate instruments:
Voices 1 & 2 → plucks (through H90)
Voice 3 → bass (Apocalypse + Julianna)
Voice 4 → lead (Lofi Junky + BigSky + Pill for ducking)"

"Hi folks!

༄ 🜃 𝑾𝑨𝑳𝑷𝑼𝑹𝑮𝑰𝑺𝑵𝑨𝑪𝑯𝑻 🜃༄ 2026 A Hypnotic Sonic Journey Through the Witches’ Night
On this special night, when the veil between the worlds grows thin, I captured an atmospheric live performance. With the Gene Synths Polygene II and the Torso S-4, rich and multi-layered sounds emerged, blending drone-like textures with sparkling details.
The entire music was played live – no grid, no sequencers, just pure improvisation and intuition. Welcome to the Brocken.

Exploring the Sequential Fourm: an underrated synth gem

video upload by Signal Sounds

"Our good friend The Unperson returns to the Signal Sounds channel to put the Sequential Fourm through its paces.

Fourm offers the classic sound and quality of Sequential at an unprecedented price point. Drawing on some of the best synths of all time, this compact analogue powerhouse boasts some fantastic features like poly aftertouch and a flexible arpeggiator/sequencer.

SEQUENTIAL FOURM: 4 voces analógicas para recrear un clásico

Video descpription in Googlish:

Instead of a traditional review of the Sequential Fourm, we decided to take a different approach: putting it to work on a specific track. And not just any track: "Fade to Grey" by Visage—an absolute classic of 1980s British synth-pop. Every melodic and accompanying track you’re about to hear was created exclusively using the Fourm, starting from factory sounds (drawn from the approximately 300 initial presets) with only minimal tweaks. The only element not provided by the synth is the drums: an AI-generated Roland CR-78-style pattern, occasionally reinforced with a kick and snare from Logic’s sound library.

Along the way, Pablo demonstrates how to truly harness the power of a modern polyphonic analog synthesizer: polyphonic aftertouch (key for the lead vocal line, where some notes come alive while others fade out completely), intense mixer feedback (ranging from subtle thickening to nonlinear behavior with "ghost" harmonics), audio-rate filter modulation from Oscillator 2 (adding anything from brightness and vocal-like character to total sonic breakdown, depending on the intensity), glide for creating transition sweeps, and the LFO in random mode feeding the filter to ensure every note sounds unique.

We also cover specific recording techniques: layering basslines via MIDI using two different sounds and panning them; doubling hand-played pads so that the two takes aren't identical; and recording a MIDI pattern to free up both hands, allowing you to perform real-time timbral tweaks—adjusting the filter, resonance, and modulation intensity—during the actual audio recording.

📝 A quick refresher on the Fourm: a compact 4-voice analog synthesizer featuring two VCOs per voice, a 4-pole low-pass filter derived from the Prophet-5, one global LFO, two ADSR envelopes, a mixer with feedback capabilities, no internal effects, a mono output, a 37-key "slim" Tactive keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch, and a modulation matrix—inherited from the Pro-1—that is directly accessible right on the front panel. 00:00 Original vs. Fourm Version
