Custom Leviasynth Sounds

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

Playlist:
1. Custom Leviasynth Sounds

Was making some patches and can happily share them once I know how. All ASM Leviasynth, no external processing except normalization and cuts n fades. Some patches use stereo mode, some light internal fx. There isn't any (*not any*) unisono on that fat second sound..

2. Leviasynth Plaidy Sounds and Drone

Just a couple more Leviasynth sounds on account of being hyped about that engine. Super easy to make some almost-real plucked instruments and/or pensive fizzle style sounds. All soudns by me. Programmed with love, played without talent.

3. More ASM Leviasynth Custom Presets

All custom prestes by your truly. Sound design with this this piece is fun!

"The Hikari Instruments Duos is a stereo chaos synthesizer equipped with a low-pass gate. Its chaotic circuitry, composed of shift registers and multi-feedback, creates a diverse range of sonic images in stereo, from walls of sound like a blinding blizzard to clusters of pulses reminiscent of a runaway mother computer, and even the ethereal conversations between newly born microorganisms.
Equipped with versatile CV I/O for modular synthesizers, it allows you to create new ecosystems with further feedback, or hijack other synthesizers using the chaotic CV/CLOCK OUT.

He Sent His LinnDrum to Bruce Forat... Here's What Happened

video upload by Brian Coyne Guitar

"I bought this 1983 LinnDrum on eBay, and after only a couple of weeks it started acting up. That's when I reached out to legendary LinnDrum expert Bruce Forat of Forat Electronics.

In this video, I document the entire experience—from Bruce's own recommendations on how to safely package and ship a vintage LinnDrum, to the repairs and maintenance he performed, to the way he carefully packed and shipped it back to me.

If you own a LinnDrum, Drumtraks, Oberheim DX, or any other vintage drum machine, you'll definitely want to hear Bruce's advice on shipping these rare machines safely. One careless shipment can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage.

Along the way, I'll show:
• How Bruce recommends packing a LinnDrum for shipment
• The repairs and maintenance Bruce performed
• How the LinnDrum looked when it returned
• Why Bruce Forat remains one of the most respected names in the LinnDrum world

A huge thank you to Bruce Forat for keeping these classic machines alive for future generations of musicians."

UDO DMNO was created to scream!

video upload by Music Journey with Paul

"At Superbooth 2026 in Berlin, I sat down with George Hearn, founder and lead engineer of UDO Audio, outside a beautifully designed glamping tent that reflected the same attention to detail found in UDO’s instruments.

We started talking about the new DOMINO synth… but very quickly the conversation became something much deeper.

Minimalism in synth design. Playing synths for pure enjoyment. The state of flow. And the mistakes we make when thinking about creativity.
