Feel the sound, not the screen: TERRA synth


video upload by SOMA Laboratory

"Do you want to lose yourself in a direct, intuitive interaction with sound where every touch shapes the tone?

SOMA TERRA gives that. No screens, no menus, no obstacles between you and the music. Just a pure physical interaction, like with an acoustic instrument.

Follow an idea as it appears in your mind, shape it into a phrase, and make it part of your music.

Watch Tim Kroker turn this direct connection into a composition.

Dreamer Soundset for Crumar Bit 99 / Bit 01 & Bucket ONE brings 75 fresh organic sounds to one of the most distinctive Italian synth families of the 1980s.

Chris Liebing | Roland 909 session


video upload by Chris Liebing

"Happy 909 day!

I’m the proud owner of a machine without which the evolution of Techno would be almost unthinkable. Rarely has a drum machine had such a profound impact on an entire genre, and far beyond it.

Over the years, friends have stopped by my studio, and sometimes even met me on the road, to sign it. I keep getting it signed whenever possible. Maybe someone can make a list of all the names that have made their way onto it so far! 😄

Some people might not know what a raw 909 actually sounds like, the kick, the toms, the hats, and all the other sounds that make this machine so unmistakable. So, I decided to have a little session on the 909 and hit record, enjoy! 909 forever!

And thank you, ‪@rolandglobal‬ for creating this machine and making billions of people happier along the way."

Ambient Exploration for Oberheim OB-12 is a custom sound bank featuring 54 Programs created for ambient, cinematic and atmospheric electronic music.

This demo presents a smooth and musical side of the Oberheim OB-12, with sounds focused on deep ambient pads, evolving textures, airy layers, soft choir-like tones, cinematic colors and melodic soundscapes.

The collection is designed for players and producers who want the OB-12 to deliver spacious, emotional and performance-ready sounds without moving into extreme FX-only programming. The bank keeps a coherent ambient identity while offering warm pads, darker atmospheres, vocal-style textures, motion-based sounds and wide synth layers.

Reverb, delay and modulation are used to create depth and movement, giving each Program a more immersive character for chords, slow melodic parts, soundtrack cues, ambient passages and experimental electronic arrangements.

Ambient Exploration is a focused sound bank for Oberheim OB-12 users who want a more expressive, spacious and cinematic ambient palette."

Sting – Russians | Vintage Synth Cover with Moog Taurus bass pedal


video upload by RetroSound

"A vintage synth reinterpretation of Sting’s “Russians”, originally released in 1985 on his debut solo album The Dream of the Blue Turtles.

Please use headphones or a subwoofer for the full audio range.

For this cover, I wanted to capture the atmosphere of the original while giving the track a distinctly analog, vintage synthesizer character.

The bass foundation was created with the legendary Moog Taurus bass pedal synthesizer, known for its massive, deep and powerful low-end sound. The Taurus has become one of the most iconic bass synthesizers of the 1970s and is especially famous for its thunderous sub-bass character.

All additional sounds, sampled elements, drums, percussion, effects and sound-design elements in this version come from the E-mu Emulator II. Released in 1984, the Emulator II became one of the defining samplers of the 1980s, combining early digital sampling technology with analog sound-shaping circuitry. Its unmistakable 8-bit character gives this version a deliberately authentic vintage texture.

'Russians' itself was written by Sting during the Cold War and became known for its powerful anti-war and peace message.

The goal of this cover was to combine two very different worlds of vintage electronic music:

1970s analog synthesis + 1980s digital sampling

The massive analog low end of the Moog Taurus meets the gritty, unmistakable character of the E-mu Emulator II to create a new interpretation of Sting’s 'Russians'.

If you are interested in vintage synthesizers, analog bass synthesizers, E-mu samplers, 1980s electronic music, synth covers and classic studio gear, you will hopefully enjoy this version.

Thanks for listening!

🎛️ Main bass: Moog Taurus Bass Pedal Synthesizer (1976)
🎹 String and Lead sounds & samples: E-mu Emulator II Sampling Synthesizer (1984)
🥁 Drums / percussion / FX: E-mu Emulator II

This is a cover/reinterpretation created as a tribute to the original composition and its timeless message."

LYRA-8 Rust Version Close-Up | This Is What It Looks Like


video upload by Tibor Synth Explorations

"A close-up macro footage of my LYRA-8 in rust version. This finish has a distinct matte, textured surface with visible but strongly attached rust flakes/artifacts. It doesn’t flake or leave any residue when you touch it.

When I ordered mine, there were very few good-quality photos or videos of the SOMA rust versions available, so I was a bit hesitant about going with this finish. But it was totally worth it.

Every rust-finished unit is different, though, so don’t take this particular look as a guarantee. Yours might look completely different.

In the background, you can hear the first song I ever recorded with my LYRA-8. If you’re interested in the full performance, you can check it out here:"
