Yamaha AN1x soundscape - Across the sea

video upload by MIDERA

"I can't tell you how many times I recorded this. I don't know why - but normally I find the AN1x to sound so good, but I kept getting clipping. I was probably using too much of the internal FX or something. Anyway, it wasn't fun. Finally I went to a different sound and used that (i.e., the one you're hearing here). I used external reverb on it. It just wasn't working nicely with the built-in today for whatever reason. I think actually it was the delay, the delay was clipping. Sigh...

MOOG LABYRINTH REVEALED! FIRST UNBOXING VIDEO
MOOG LABYRINTH: DETAILED WALKTHROUGH
MOOG LABYRINTH: FIRST SOUNDS!!!
MOOG LABYRINTH: MELLOW MOOD SOUNDS EXPLORATION

Side note: the walkthrough actually went up after the audio demos. I moved the walkthrough up as it's the most interesting video. I just wanted to clarify as the sound demos that follow were likely done before becoming more familiar with the featureset.

Walkabout at the Synthesized event, Cambridge

video upload by MIDI IN

"I wasn't able to do the usual musical Sunday video this week, I was at the Synthesized event at the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge.
Tony the organiser had caught everyone for interviews which will be on the museum's own channel here: (link when available)
So I just picked a quiet moment for a walkabout to show the variety of musical technology on display."

SEQUENTIAL TRIGON 6 vs OB-6 | No Talking by MeX

video upload by Synth Cloud

"Comparison Between Trigon 6 and OB-6 Synthesizers

The Trigon 6 and the OB-6 are two high-end analog synthesizers that offer unique features and distinctive sounds. The Trigon 6, produced by Sequential, is known for its three-wave oscillator and ladder filter, which provide a rich and warm sound. On the other hand, the OB-6, a collaboration between Sequential and Oberheim, utilizes a classic dual-oscillator design with a state-variable filter, offering a distinctly vintage and versatile sound.

One of the main strengths of the Trigon 6 is its versatility. Equipped with a six-voice architecture, three oscillators per voice, and a four-pole ladder filter, it is ideal for creating complex and layered sounds. The advanced modulation section allows users to experiment with various sound textures, making it perfect for genres ranging from electronic music to ambient.

The OB-6, however, shines for its simplicity and immediacy. With two oscillators per voice and an Oberheim state-variable filter, it offers a sound that is immediately recognizable and nostalgic for 80s enthusiasts. Its intuitive interface allows users to quickly create engaging sounds, making it an excellent choice for live performances and studio productions that require speed and spontaneity.

In terms of connectivity, both synthesizers are well-equipped. The Trigon 6 offers a wide range of MIDI and USB connection options, along with high-quality audio inputs and outputs, facilitating integration into any production setup. The OB-6 is no less, with a wide range of connection options including MIDI, USB, and CV/Gate, making it compatible with a variety of modern and vintage equipment.

Finally, from a design perspective, the Trigon 6 features a modern and robust look, with a user interface that facilitates quick access to various parameters. The OB-6, on the other hand, maintains a more classic and retro appearance, with clearly labeled controls and a layout reminiscent of vintage Oberheim synthesizers. Both synthesizers offer high-quality construction and are designed to last, making them solid investments for any musician or producer."

The beautiful & scenic Taconic Parkway in Westchester County, New York

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We take a ride along the beautiful and scenic Taconic Parkway in Westchester County, New York. The Taconic functions as a freeway in the northern suburbs of New York City and one of the main routes connecting north to the state capital in Albany. The highway is designed to be in harmonic with its landscape, sometimes broad and open, sometimes narrower and winder, as the terrain changes.

In this first of multiple videos, we start just north of its junction with the Saw Mill Parkway (as seen in a previous video) and heading north passing NY routes 100 and 133 in Millwood and Chappaqua (where CatSynth creator and host Amanda Chaudhary grew up), crossing the Croton Reservoir on the AMVETS Memorial Bridge, and passing Franklin D Roosevelt State Park. We turn off the Taconic onto the Bear Mountain Parkway, US 202 and NY 35.

The music through most of this video is the track "Taconic Parkway Bridge" off of Amanda Chaudhary's new album January Suborbital Denomination. The track features composer and musician Jerry King on electronic guitars in addition to Amanda on keyboards and synthesizers. You can hear (and purchase) the album at:

Synthesizers on "Taconic Parkway Bridge" include:
Arturia Pigments, 2600 V, Synthi V, Delay Brigade
Arturia MiniFreak
Yamaha RX5 vintage drum machine
Cherry Audio Elka-X, GX-80, and Stardust-201 tape delay

Additional music features:
