Speak & Glitch GND 1T circuit bent synthesizer: The power of Manual Morph and Drift Buffer Scaling

video upload by GND-1

"The GND-1T is available directly from https://richardvanhoesel.com/gnd1t

This video shows how to use two powerful tools on the Speak and Glitch GND-1T: manual patch morphing, and drift-buffer scaling. Combined they offer a powerful way to navigate the GND-1T's vast sonic landscape, and make creating unique new textures and patches very simple. There's a lot more that you can adjust in this process than I don't have time to show here, so see the manual for more information. But if you haven't used this combination so far with your GND-1T, I think you will be very happy to start doing so after watching this.

As usual, everything you hear in these demos is a direct stereo stream recorded from the GND-1T, without any external effects."

"This one came together unexpectedly. The compressor made a big difference. Really happy with the intensity of this one."

Presets of the Mighty SY99

video upload by CGMAGIK

"Released in 1991, the Yamaha SY99 was the SY series flagship. It used RCM synthesis (Realtime Convolution and Modulation) synthesis combining AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) and 6 Operator AFM (Advanced Frequency Modulation) Synthesis. RCM’s unique modulation capabilities enabled AWM samples as modulation sources for the AFM engine.

The SY99 featured a few significant upgrades over its sibling, the SY77:

A larger 76 note keyboard with zoned aftertouch (channel aftertouch programmable to affect notes played either above or below a split point independently)
Three times the amount of AWM waveforms (2 Mb in SY77 and 8 Mb in SY99)
-500 Kb of battery-backed user sample RAM, expandable to 3 Mb
-Upgraded SPX900 level multi effects
-Upgraded master keyboard functionality"

Oberheim TEO 5 / Volca Bass / Circuit Tracks - Dawless Cinematic Electronica

video upload by Scott Nellé - Plague Society

"This is a dawless cinematic electronica track, sequenced on the Novation Circuit Tracks. It features the Oberheim TEO-5 as a pad and the Korg Volca Bass making a couple of bass sounds.

In addition to sequencing the whole track, the Circuit Tracks plays drums with samples from my collection and also a supplemental string lead and pluck. I really enjoy the Circuit. For such an affordable device it's really a powerful centerpiece for a dawless setup. It also handles effects for the Oberheim and Volca Bass on this track.

The Oberheim TEO-5, my newest and biggest synth, plays a pad here with a patch that I designed. The patch uses both oscillators and most of the waveforms, with plenty of modulation to give it some extra analog vibe. The patch is called "Just Swell" and I think it sounds pretty cool. This is a really fun synth to design sounds on. It's super straightforward and there are lots of modulation options. I'm looking forward to exploring it in more depth.

The Volca Bass is used for two sounds here. Initially it plays a very staccato bassline, and later I switch on the sustain an it plays more off a gliding line that almost verges into lead territory.

I sat with this track for a long time, adding more and more stuff until I decided it worked better as a more stripped back arrangement. All of the individual parts ended up really simple, but I hope they play off each other to create something interesting. Let me know what you think!"

Dawless Techno Groovebox Jam | Novation Circuit Tracks & Rhythm

video upload by Underground Modulation

"🔥 DAWLESS Techno Groovebox Jam | Novation Circuit Tracks + Circuit Rhythm

In this video I perform a powerful dawless techno jam using a hardware-only setup built around Novation Circuit Tracks and Novation Circuit Rhythm.

This groovebox combo perfectly complements each other in a live performance workflow. Both Circuits handle rhythmic and melodic elements, creating a driving, layered techno sound:

🎛 Novation Circuit Tracks – synth parts, basslines, and groove structure
🥁 Novation Circuit Rhythm – drums, textures, and custom samples for unique character

Everything is sequenced directly on the hardware — no DAW during performance. This is a true live techno hardware jam.
The final master was processed in Ableton Live for clarity, punch, and balance."

DAWLESS Techno EDM Jam | Novation Circuit Tracks + Circuit Rhythm

video upload by Underground Modulation

"In this video I perform a high-energy techno EDM groovebox jam using the powerful combo of Novation Circuit Tracks and Novation Circuit Rhythm.

This is a fully dawless live jam — all sequencing, rhythm, and melodic elements are created directly on the hardware. Both Circuit units perfectly complement each other in this setup:

Novation Circuit Tracks handles sequencing, synth parts, and groove foundations.

Novation Circuit Rhythm brings custom samples, drums, and additional melodic textures.

Both grooveboxes contribute to rhythm and melodic layers, creating a dynamic and driving techno performance. The final master was polished in Ableton Live for clean, punchy sound.

If you enjoy hardware techno, dawless jams, groovebox performances, and live electronic music, this one’s for you."
