Magnetic Heart - Glowing

video upload by Magnetic Heart

"A live electronic music performance by Magnetic Heart.

The MIDI sequences were originally created on the Squarp Hapax and then recorded into Ableton, which is my main performance Sequencer. Here it's being used to sequence the Elektron Analog Four MK2, Elektron Analog Rytm MK2 and Novation Summit.

The synths are recorded back into Ableton where they are being mixed and mastered."

X1L3 - STARSTRIKE - boss fight - 8 bit techno - AY3 / YM2149f - eurorack module

video upload by X1L3

"A bit of tidying up of the code and a tweak to the tuning routine of the AY/YM/GT300 modules. Pretty much wrapped up now. And those three dev modules are now consolidated into one build which can run the AY3, it's clones, and the YM2149f. The final build being called starstrike. Named after an old ZX spectrum favourite of mine (starstrike II)....

No filters used this time, so it doesn't sound like it's trying to pretend to be a sid chip. Just pure ZX/ST square wave action. 198X 8 bit techno / cracktro music. A good example of how well it does this even as a drone machine with no VCA support 🔥🔥🔥"

Roland Juno 60 | Ambient soundscape with Fractal Audio FM3

video upload by MIDERA

"I decided to help a friend and replaced all of his Roland Juno 60 sliders. I figured I’d done a lot of similar work for myself, and I’ve had a lot of people help me out so I wanted to pass it forward. Well, after spending 3 hours replacing the sliders, it was 12:30AM and I turned on the unit to test it out. But it went horribly wrong. Nothing sounded right. Noise was always present, the Attack slider didn’t work, Sub was always on, you get the picture. By this point, I was totally stressed out. I had destroyed a $3000 synth!

I tried going to sleep, but it was around 3AM before I could. I woke up the next day, stressed. I ran downstairs to see if it was just something simple I missed, but nothing seemed wrong. All the pins had continuity to the traces they were going towards.

By 5PM that day, I finally wrote on a facebook group. Someone mentioned something regarding the new sliders from Syntaur. He said they’re chassis legs are too short. Specifically, the Attack slider chassis provides ground to IC5, pin 8. But when I checked, there was continuity from the pad to IC5 pin 8. HOWEVER, the pad was NOT connected to the chassis. I quickly threw the old slider in, and magically… it all worked. I couldn’t believe it. That was about 24 hours of terror as I tried to figure out what went wrong.

However, it is now going strong, perfectly. I’m very thankful to that facebook group!

Moog SPECTRAVOX - Part 1 - The Synth Within It?

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"Without reading the user manual, I hooked up the Moog Spectravox to the Moog Messenger (cv, gate and clock) to see what can I get.
The result speaks for itself, but I'll comeback for more, since I know it can do a lot more!"

"And please, lower your volume, Spectravox has a tremendous output! Any distortions you hear is because the recording looks like a brick! (I had the audio monitor lowered and everything seemed fine, until I saw the recording...)"

Kowloon Park Field Recordings & Prophet-10 Ambient | Park and Birds 2025-11-30 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using field recordings from Kowloon Park in Hong Kong, along with the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10 and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field.
It is an ambient electronica work where synthesizer harmonies resonate over a backdrop of birdsong.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed and processed with reverb using the blueSky.

The OP-1 field is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND and ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, adding tape-style effects and reverb, followed by an additional layer of reverb and filtering from the NIGHTSKY.

The park ambience was recorded at Kowloon Park on November 26, 2025, using a TASCAM Portacapture X8."

Here it is, we can hardly believe it but it's finally happened!

We found a STEELPHON MAGO - well, actually we found two - this was Italys first consumer synthesizer - in a sense that it was manufactured in a factory to be sold to consumers rather than invented at home by an enthusiast or sold as an oscillator assembly kit.

Made in Turin in the modest production run of about 50 way back in 1971, this is a small but extremely powerful monophonic single oscillator synth.

This unit is currently for sale - contact us for info and price via the website linked below.

Most of the technical specifications are featured in the video already as text - but a quick introduction and recap would go something like this:

This is the predecessor to the Steelphon S900 but a single oscillator monophonic synth with a bit different sound : organic, raw and expressive.
The snappy envelopes in combination with the Moog ladder filter makes it an amazing sound effect maker but it as well produces great bass lines and delicate leads.
