3. Cherry Audio | Introduction to ESQ-1 Synthesizer with Tim Shoebridge "Ensoniq ESQ-1 by Cherry Audio is a landmark virtual synthesizer that captures the essence and iconic sounds of the classic ESQ-1 polyphonic hybrid digital/analog synthesizer, perfectly timed for celebration of its 40th anniversary.

This plug-in features the original 32 waveforms, allowing it to faithfully recreate the complex, evolving, and richly textured sounds of the 1986 ESQ-1 in software form. Additionally, it comes with advanced features designed for today's musicians and producers. Its elegant design incorporates extensive modulation options, rhythmic pattern generation, and enhanced performance capabilities through polyphonic aftertouch and MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE). Ensoniq ESQ-1 also features a library of nearly 400 exceptional presets, including the original factory presets from the hardware, highlighting the best of both classic and all-new sounds.

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Cherry Audio partnered with Creative Technology, the current owner of the Ensoniq intellectual property, to obtain official licensing for the original 32 ESQ-1 waveforms for this release. Equally important, we meticulously emulated the sonic signature and behavior of the original hardware's legendary analog filters provided by the renowned CEM 3379 IC. We also precisely recreated its four DCAs, four independent multistage envelopes, three LFOs, amplitude modulation, oscillator sync, and expanded its modulation system. Its accuracy is such that the ESQ-1 software supports drag-and-drop import of individual patches and patch banks from ESQ-1 SysEx files, or directly via MIDI from the hardware. Additionally, the software can export SysEx patch files that are compatible with the original hardware."

"This popular synthesizer from the mid-1980s combined single-cycle digital waveform oscillators with analog filters and amplifiers. Abundant modulation sources allowed for dynamically changing sounds and was very much in tune with the overall tone of the era.

Morphor ECHON 6 #5 | Winterdagen

video upload by Winterdagen

"Time for a new one on on the beautiful ECHON 6! I got some questions on if ECHON 6 can do 'regular' synth sounds as well, it sure can:)

One of the many cool things about ECHON 6 is that its exciter section on its own is already a very nice sounding single oscillator poly synth, with morphable waveforms on its fat sounding oscillators. And you can use all of ECHON's extensive modulation capabilities for sound design as well. The only thing missing would be filter resonance, but to be honest I'm usually not a big fan of filter resonance anyway.

The real fun naturally starts when you start combining the exciter's synth voice with the resonator section, which is exactly what I did here. In this case the resonator ads a bit of a chewy sound, which I really like."

Getting Started: What is Sample and Hold?

video upload by Noise Engineering

"A sample and hold has three main connections: a CV input, a trigger input, and a CV output. Each time it receives a trigger, it reads the voltage at its input and holds that value at the output until the next trigger arrives.

Electronica with Evolving Rhythms and Drones | Sabre 2026-06-16 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece where evolving rhythmic timbres and sustained tones intertwine. Created with Digitone, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10.

On the Digitone, both drones and percussion sounds are performed. The drones are created by setting the amplifier envelope release to INF, allowing the tones to sustain continuously.

The percussion timbres evolve throughout the piece by changing algorithm parameters and filter envelope settings.

On the Prophet-10, additional synth pads are performed to blend with and expand the pad textures from the Digitone.
