midiphy zetaSID: bassline engine (new firmware v1.5)

video upload by midiphy

"Introducing bassline engine: integrated, stereo-linked 303-style sequencing for zetaSID. Two modules on bass, two on percussion, some external FX in the chain.

What's in the patch:
two zetaSIDs linked via phybus carry the stereo bassline
patterns are switched live from the user interface. Sync To Measure stays active, so every pattern change lands cleanly on the next bar. The zetaSIDs stay step-locked across the polychain throughout
the joystick is spliced into LFO1 for hands-on modulation in real time
the fader is spliced into filter cutoff and forwarded to all zetaSIDs: live SID filter sweeps, no menus
two more zetaSIDs run the drums, triggered by gates from the modular, no MIDI used

What's new in firmware v1.5:
zetaSID bassline engine: 303-style 16-step sequencer, eight patterns per channel, per-step note / octave / gate / slide / accent / one freely assignable parameter, two LFOs and an additional envelope with curvature
three new input sockets per module: SEQ STEP, SEQ RESET, SEQ PATTERN. Splice them through phybus and your modular drives the sequencer directly with clocks, sequence reset triggers and pattern select CVs
pair two zetaSIDs over phybus for a true stereo bassline patch that stays step-locked
non-bassline feature: individual instrument attenuation for drum engine
non-bassline feature: 180° screen rotation support (mount your zetas upside-down, if you want :-))

Move got HACKED!!! w/ Native Classic Synth Engines

video upload by AudioPilz

"Hey everybody, as frequent viewers of this channel will know Ableton Move was an instabuy for me when it was released in 2024. Seamless integration into Live, tried and tested instruments and FX and a slick form factor turned my gear acquisition syndrome up to 11.

Unfortunately, the little groovebox had been collecting dust ever since - mostly because of a lack of essential features we will talk about in a bit.

However, not only did Ableton iron out major flaws in firmware 2.0 - Move also got hacked in the most beautiful way possible and is now capable of running classic synths right on the machine.

Oberheim DX Full Restoration: How to Add MIDI, Upgrade RAM & Play Live

video upload by Nostalgic Explorer

"If you want to see how the Oberheim DX looks from the inside, how to clean the buttons, how to upgrade the RAM, and how to add MIDI to this classic drum machine, you're in the right place.

This machine came to me in pretty bad shape. Dirty on the outside, with some faulty buttons, and in serious need of some love. But honestly? It's not that hard to bring one of these back to life if you're careful and you enjoy working with vintage gear. And if you don't — stick around anyway, because it's super interesting to see these machines from the inside.

I'm walking you through the full process: deep cleaning, how to remove and clean the button contacts the right way (spoiler: cleaning the surface does nothing — you need to go under them), installing the Electrongate MIDI board and RAM upgrade so you don't need a battery anymore, and swapping the plastic panels for the beautiful wooden ones from Electrongate.

Big shoutout to Paul White, whose Electrongate videos were a huge reference for this build. I'm just a student passing the knowledge forward — go check his page, I'll leave the links below.

Once everything was back together and fully working, I put on a jacket — because if I'm performing original music for you, you deserve some respect — and played a live jam using the restored Oberheim DX, the Oberheim DMX, Moog Voyager, Rhodes Mark I, Oberheim Matrix 6R, Elektron Digitakt, and the Roland Space Echo RE-201."

Infinite Textures // HBI Harmonics & SOMA Cosmos

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Improvised ambient session exploring the interaction between wavetable drones and drifting delays.

In this performance, the HBI Harmonics provides a steady, three-voice foundation, which is then processed and evolved by the SOMA Cosmos. No external synchronization or sequencing was used. The performance was recorded live on a single stereo channel, then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools.

Technical Breakdown:
• HBI Harmonics: A compact desktop synthesizer featuring three wavetable oscillators. It specializes in generating thick, harmonically rich drones through independent tuning and long-phase LFO modulation of waveform shapes.

• SOMA Cosmos: A "Drifting Memory Station" designed to create ever-evolving soundscapes. Unlike a traditional looper, it uses prime-number-based delay offsets and chaotic modulation to ensure the audio buffer never repeats identically."
