"The DSI Tempest is a groundbreaking analog drum machine that combines the best of both analog synthesis and digital control, making it a favorite among electronic musicians and beatmakers. Released in 2011 as a collaboration between legendary designers Dave Smith and Roger Linn, the Tempest delivers six powerful analog voices, each with dual oscillators, filters, and comprehensive sound-shaping options. With 16 responsive, pressure-sensitive pads, real-time effects, and unique features like the Roll function, the Tempest offers hands-on control that brings beats and sequences to life, whether in the studio or on stage. This is a drum machine with an unmistakable analog soul in a digital world.

For those seeking the warmth of analog combined with modern flexibility, the DSI Tempest stands out as more than just a beatmaker—it’s a complete performance instrument. Users can layer sounds, experiment with live sequencing, and even use it as a six-voice synthesizer when connected to a MIDI keyboard. Its robust step and live recording systems make it perfect for building complex patterns, stacking beats, and switching sounds on the fly. Whether you’re crafting intricate grooves or exploring unique soundscapes, the DSI Tempest remains a powerful tool for anyone wanting analog depth with digital precision.

A Nice Song For Autumn

video upload by Hologram Electronics

"Hologram’s home base (Knoxville, Tennessee) exhibits pretty stunning colors during the season’s change into winter. This song initially started as a backing track for a short video we made about the Hohner Pianet and Chroma Console, but we thought it would be cool to turn it into something a bit larger in scope and film the performance outside while the autumn landscape is at peak vibrance.

We get a lot of comments asking us to make longer versions of the demos/songs we write to showcase our pedals, so this is us making good on those requests. This is an original piece written, performed, and filmed by Hologram staff - we hope you enjoy!"

Collide 4 | Quadrature Spectral Computer | by Joranalogue and Hainbach

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"A few months ago, Hainbach recycled the full circle of 1950's being pioneered by people like Mort Subotnick and then miniaturized by people like Don Buchla in the 1960's, then rediscovered by people like Hainbach (and many others I am not familiar with) in the 2020's and then miniaturized into 20 HP by Joran from Jorananalogue in 2024. Hello COLLIDE 4, what took you so long?

I've been intrigued with Hainbach's journey into the vintage and classic scrapheaps of sound but the risk of shock, the smell, weight and size of all this gear made it easy to resist or even explore. I absolutely loved his Totem project making the best drones I ever heard. But this particular rabbit hole was easy to resist. 20 HP is not.

The COLLIDE 4 brings a lot of unfamiliar concepts to the table of sound design, like a Lock-in Amp, a Hilbert Transform Network and a Quadrature VCO. Just when you thought you were getting the hang of eurorack, again you realize you know nothing. It also features a filter, an envelope follower and a phase/frequency shifter. It's all originally designed to detect and possibly isolate little sounds in a soup of very faint noise, so the first thing people do is to crank it up and wonder if it can make normal music. Yes it can, and it saturates like nothing else. Just don't buy it BECAUSE you want to make normal music.

My favorite use case is to explore very faint sounds, like the raw output from a Piezo, an electric guitar or a sensitive electromagnetic sniffer. Theres a whole new world out there for you to discover."

Escaping to Nature with the Digitone

video upload by VoltageCtrlRtv

"Sometimes, I need to step away from screens and just reconnect with nature. My birthday was on the 7th so I I packed up my Elektron Digitone, the Myvolts Step Up Explorers Kit, and a portable Bluetooth speaker and headed out to a quiet spot where I could breathe. Being surrounded by trees and open skies always inspires something deeper in my music; it's like the melodies just flow naturally in response to the landscape. I found a shady spot, plugged in, and let the Digitone hum its warm, evolving tones. As I dialed in delicate FM textures, while listening organic sounds, I felt an incredible sense of peace. Making ambient music here felt right, like syncing with a rhythm older than any technology.
