Dr. Endo – Live Set
PTN12: EXPR//Residue
---
A cinematic ambient track evoking the grandeur of a distant galactic empire, EXPR//Residue begins with a solemn tuba drone and unfolds into a slowly shifting sonic landscape.

The tuba forms the foundation of the piece—its rich tone is enhanced with a harmonic waveform to add depth, and sent through GRAIN FX to transform a simple two-note bassline into a dense, evolving low-frequency texture.

Oboe chords provide a gentle, pad-like atmosphere, blending naturally into reverb to create soft, immersive motion.
Scattered throughout the track, piano accents are pulled and stretched using the BACKTIDE function, adding expressive drag and emotional tension.

One track is dedicated to filtered noise, modulated by an LFO on the low-pass filter cutoff. This creates a storm-like undercurrent that blends beautifully with the reverb, expanding the spatial field of the mix.

This piece explores the remnants of something vast and ancient—a residue of sound and structure left drifting in space.

user-configurable sequencer pattern slots. each of these allows for per-step pitch assignment, making it possible to compose custom melodic sequences.

pattern chaining
once you’ve made your own sequencer patterns, you can start chaining them together. instead of looping just one pattern, this update lets you combine up to four, giving your tracks more variation.

Unlocking Creativity with Teenage Engineering OP-XY | Dark-Retro-Futuristic-Distorted Synthwave

video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"The Teenage Engineering OP-XY has a unique way of unlocking creativity — even when inspiration runs low. This video is built around an old OP-XY project I recently unearthed, proof that unfinished ideas can still spark something new.

In this live jam, the Teenage Engineering OP-XY becomes the heart of a dark-retro-futuristic soundscape, blending synthwave grooves, ambient arpeggios, and gritty, distorted textures. A raw and expressive performance shaped by the OP-XY’s playful, hands-on approach to electronic music.

🎧 For the full experience — including subtle textures, punchy bass, and detailed drums — headphones are highly recommended.

"This one is in good cosmetic condition and working 100%. It has just been serviced and needs nothing. As the title says, this is an original Rev 3.3 with 120 programs and factory midi. There is no vintage button on this one! I got this from a gentleman who had it serviced by Wine Country before they went out of business. When I got it, there were still some problems so it has just been serviced again and it's solid now. This is marked as a domestic sale only, but I will ship out of the country. You can send me a message if you're considering to buy it and I will calculate the shipping cost then. Shipping overseas will not be cheap. Please keep this in mind."

Yamaha CS-50 w/ Kenton MIDI SN 2546

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing, also on Reverb

"This Yamaha CS-50 is a classic analog polyphonic synth that delivers warm, expressive tones with rich modulation and filter control. Known as the little brother to the legendary CS-80, the CS-50 carries much of the same sonic character—lush VCOs, a powerful resonant filter, and a smooth, dynamic response that makes it ideal for pads, leads, and atmospheric textures. This particular unit has been upgraded with a Kenton MIDI kit, giving it modern playability while keeping the original sound path fully intact.

The Kenton MIDI retrofit gives you note on/off control, pitch bend, and sustain over MIDI, allowing you to control this analog beast from any modern DAW or MIDI controller. It still functions just as it always has from the front panel—no limitations there—but with the added flexibility to drop it right into a current production setup. The synth is in solid shape, with the original wood panels, keybed, sliders, and case showing honest wear but fully functional. All controls are smooth, all keys and sliders work as expected, and it’s ready to go.

This is a hard-to-find synth on its own, and even harder to find with a Kenton MIDI upgrade already installed and tested. If you’re after vintage analog character with real-world usability in today’s studio, this CS-50 offers a serious combination of tone, playability, and legacy value."

Digital Keyboards Original Synergy Digital Additive Synthesizer - Progenitor Digital Synth SN 01166

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"This is the holy grail of early digital additive synths: a true successor to Bell Labs' Alles Machine, built by Crumar and Digital Keyboards between 1982–85. With only ~700–800 units ever made and fewer than ~100 still running today this Synergy Mk. I stands as an ultra-rare, pro-grade instrument crafted for sonic innovators like Wendy Carlos who used it on the TRON soundtrack as well as her albums Digital Moonscapes and Beauty in the Beast.

This unit is fully functional and fully responsive. It harnesses a formidable engine of 32 digital oscillators capable of additive and phase-modulation tones, delivering 8 or 16 voice polyphony. You have 24 internal presets at your disposal, with cartridge expansion support. It’s standout feature is the ability to layer up to four distinct tones simultaneously, creating lush, shimmering textures or aggressive, harmonically rich leads. Sure, editing is minimal on-board, but that means its extremely user-friendly. Dial in a tone and go."

ARP Axxe Model 2313 Monophonic Analog Synthesizer SN 1803

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"Step into the golden era of analog synthesis with this pre-owned 1975 ARP Axxe, a vintage monophonic synthesizer that delivers the unmistakable sound of the '70s. Introduced as a more accessible sibling to the legendary ARP Odyssey, the Axxe brought rich, punchy analog tones to players ranging from beginners to seasoned professionals. This early Mark I unit retains its distinctive black-and-gold aesthetic, robust metal chassis, and classic wooden side panels, all hallmarks of a time when craftsmanship and innovation defined electronic instrument design.

Renowned for its straightforward layout and characterful sonic palette, the ARP Axxe excels at producing gritty basslines, searing leads, and otherworldly effects. Its single-oscillator signal path, paired with a powerful resonant low-pass filter and classic ADSR envelope, allows for bold, expressive shaping with hands-on immediacy. Whether you're integrating it into a modular setup via CV/Gate or seeking that authentic vintage analog sound for your studio, the Axxe remains a sought-after gem with historical clout and musical relevance. Though this unit shows typical signs of vintage wear consistent with its age, it remains in solid playing condition and is ready for many more years of creative exploration."

Redshift 6 - Multitimbral 6-Part Techno Tweak

video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"Redshift 6 - Multitimbral 6-Part Techno Tweak

All sounds in this demo come from the Redshift 6. The kick was sent out dry from the main output, while the other five parts — including the hi-hat, rumble, two LFO-bleep tracks, and a backing synth track — were routed through the auxiliary output. The aux output was fed into a Zoom Multistomp MS-100 pedal for delay and reverb.

With Redshift 6, multitimbrality is always at your fingertips. Its user interface is built from the ground up to enable a seamless workflow between mono- and multitimbral setups.

Under the hood, Redshift 6 is always multitimbral—there’s no need to switch to a specific multitimbral mode. A new multitimbral synth part can be activated with just the push of a button. Voice allocation, polyphony/paraphony, group settings, and other parameters are easily configured in the Parts view.

Multitimbrality allows Redshift 6 to function as multiple independent synthesizers. Each part can be polyphonic, paraphonic, or monophonic, and each can have its own unique character."
