Building a Minimal Performance System with OXI E16


video upload by OXI Instruments

"In this video we break down a small but deep performance setup built around the OXI E16 and the Elektron Tonverk — the core idea being that constraint creates focus. Instead of chasing more gear or more parameters, we map a handful of controls to a handful of sounds and build a pattern out of very few elements, performed live rather than programmed in advance.

What's covered:
The concept behind designing "small systems" — fewer knobs, fewer sounds, more intentional movement.
Mapping the E16 to control drums and a few additional sound sources on the Tonverk.
Routing and shaping send effects live, as part of the performance rather than as a mix afterthought.
A randomize trick: smashing everything into chaos on the fly, then snapping back instantly to a saved, safe starting point — so we can take risks without losing the pattern.
This is less a tutorial and more a way of thinking about performance setups: constrain first, then explore inside the constraint.

"A new live piece called "Wild Red Moon", courtesy of this utterly enchanting instrument by ‪@whimsicalraps‬. It really felt like a peaceful night time hug.

Head to my Patreon for an upcoming alternate version, and more - / hazelmills

The nature of how this piece is constructed (by cycling through the notes of 7-note scales, results in 7/8 meter and I love how hypnotic it is.

Roland Jupiter-4 | The Vintage Analog Synth That Started It All


video upload by RetroSound

"Roland Jupiter-4 Sound Demo
vintage analog synth sounds, arpeggios made by RetroSound with the classic Roland character.

In this video, we take a deep dive into the sound of the legendary Roland JUPITER-4 Compuphonic, one of the most iconic vintage analog polyphonic synthesizers of the late 1970s.

The New Wave synth.

Released in 1978, the Jupiter-4 was the first Roland synthesizer to carry the JUPITER name and helped establish Roland's reputation for powerful analog polyphonic synthesizers. It features four-voice polyphony, analog oscillators, a resonant low-pass filter, an arpeggiator and Roland's early Compuphonic digital control system. Roland also gave the Jupiter-4 the ability to store user presets — an important feature for its time.

2:07 The Arrival

2:38 Favorite Sound
2:54 Sweeping
3:30 Save Your Ears!
4:30 Little Love Song (with TR-808)

In this Jupiter-4 sound demo by RetroSound, you'll hear the character that makes this synthesizer so special: punchy basses, warm pads, aggressive filter sweeps, analog leads, brass-like sounds, arpeggios and fat unison tones.

The Jupiter-4 may have fewer voices and controls than later Roland classics such as the Jupiter-6 and Jupiter-8, but its distinctive combination of fast envelopes, powerful filter, analog warmth and lush ensemble character gives it a sound all of its own.

🔥 Roland Jupiter-4 Facts

• Introduced in 1978
• Four-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer
• First Roland synthesizer in the JUPITER series
• Analog VCO-based synthesis

If you love vintage analog synthesizers, Roland synths, classic synth sounds, synth pop, new wave, electronic music and hardware sound demos, this one is for you"
