Donner L1 | Three Synth Sketches


video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Three song sketches featuring the Donner L1 synthesizer.

00:00 - Ambient
04:38 - IDM-ish
10:48 - Video game music

Fair warning: Donner sent this one along for free. The only stipulation I agreed to was to post this link so you could find out more about the synth, and they would know that you came from my video:
https://datasink.rantion-admin.com/t/zy

It's hard to overstate how much this one appeals to me. A budget analog synth that sounds remarkably like my Roland SH-101, but has a triangle wave, second envelope, velocity options, stored sequences, MIDI, a removable keyboard, and a bunch more. The SH-101 is a simple synth, but it's one of my favourite subtractive sounds, and the L1 is the best modernized version of it that I've played. It's the kind of thing I wish Roland were making in 2025, and I would have bought it even if Donner hadn't sent it to me.

Here, I explore the L1 from a few different perspectives, showing off how I'd use it in making music, how it sounds on its own, with effects, and with other instrumentation.

Everything performed and recorded live to a stereo output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Thanks for listening.

GONE - Electronica #4 // Subharmonicon, Analog Four, Octatrack, Modular


video upload by David Falcon

"En este tema me voy por una rama oscura del electro. Me evoca sensaciones similares a la OST del juego The Binding of Isaac. Bastante oscuro, incluso siniestro por veces.
Muchas disonancias girando en torno al ancla que es la Elektron Analog Four mkii. Bombo y Bajo sientan unas bases potentes sobre lo que construir lo demás. La octatrack como mixer del máster es una gozada mientras que el modular y el subharmonicon son una fuente inagotable de inspiración.
En este caso decidí disolver el tema al final en lugar de llevarlo a una parte nueva. Más acorde a la temática creo. Como siempre, grabado en una toma, y solamente masterizado en Ableton.

Gracias a los que estáis siempre al otro lado.
Saludos!

(eng)
In this song I am going for a dark branch of electro. It evokes similar feelings in me to the OST of the game The Binding of Isaac. Quite dark, even sinister at times.
Many dissonances revolving around the anchor that is the Elektron Analog Four mkii. Kick and Bass lay powerful foundations on which I build the rest. The Octatrack as a master mixer is amazing while the modular and the subharmonicon are an infinite source of inspiration.
In this case I decided to dissolve the main parts of the song at the end instead of taking it to a new part. More in line with the theme I think.
Recorded in one take and mastered in Ableton.

Thank you for being on the other side."

MPE Demo | ERAE + Phase Plant by Kilohearts


video upload by embodme

"Get ready to explore the expressive possibilities of ERAE, demonstrated by Jean-Sébastien Levet, in this hands-on MPE performance with the powerful Phase Plant synth from Kilohearts.

In this demo, Jean-Sébastien unlocks the full potential of multidimensional control — combining ERAE’s ultra-responsive playing surface with the modular sound design flexibility of Phase Plant. Watch as pressure, slide, and pitch movements come to life in real time.

🔹 What you’ll see:
• Live MPE expression on ERAE
• Deep modulation of Phase Plant parameters
• Real-time sound morphing and performance dynamics
• Pro-level sound design and patch manipulation

🎧 Best experienced with headphones to catch every nuanced gesture."

Waldorf Edition 2 - Sound-Demo


video upload by WaldorfMusicChannel

"New Version 2.3.3 available in your 'myWaldorf' account. Attack now native on macOS https://waldorfmusic.com/waldorf-edit...

PPG Wave 2.2V is a virtual reincarnation of its namesake cult classic, coming to prominence with the trailblazing PPG Wave series starting back in 1982.

First resurrected in 1989 with the Waldorf Microwave, today it enjoys a new lease of life in virtual studios on Mac and PC computers. Classic wavetable synthesis is known for conjuring up the feisty analogue and digital hybrid sounds that have graced so many hit records over so many decades.

Attack is a percussion synthesizer powered by an almighty analogue synth sound generator. It transports the trademark sounds of classic Eighties analogue drum machines and the progressive electronic club beats of the Nineties onwards and upwards into truly 21st Century production environments.

As Attack computes all sounds in realtime, users can change any parameter directly.

D-Pole completes the Waldorf Edition 2 lineup as a very versatile filter plug-in with five filter types (lowpass, bandpass, high pass, notch, and resonator), SAMPLE RATE reduction, RING MOD, OVERDRIVE (ranging up to +52 dB), and stereo delay — all in wondrous Waldorf quality!"

- Bank (change) + Program (change) selection slider + buttons

- Buffer Request, Buffer Init, Buffer Write and Program Write buttons using SYSEX

- Hide / unhide specific LFO and ADSR2 features based on Common / Individual parameters selection (see video for a demonstration)

WORKFLOW 1 EDITING FROM PATCH (starting at 00:06 in the video above):

- Select a Bank & Program

- Press Buffer Request to load it to the editor

- Start editing (the loaded patch) on the editor (the Patch is edited in the synth buffer)

- Select a Bank & Program (Optional)

- Press Program Write to save it in the synth

WORKFLOW 2 EDITING FROM SCRATCH (starting at 03:56 in the video above):

- Press Buffer Init to send an init patch to the synth buffer

Synths That Tanked! Top 15 Value Crashes You Won’t Believe!?


video upload by Andy Whitmore

You be the judge. Feel free to comment below.

"💥 The biggest synth value crashes of all time! These once-iconic instruments lost tens of thousands in value—from legendary analog giants to futuristic digital monsters.

You've seen the synths that became priceless icons… but what about the ones that didn’t?

In this countdown, we reveal 15 professional synthesizers that lost the most value from their original prices (adjusted for inflation). From boutique rarities to digital behemoths, these are the synths that hit the market hard—and hit resale even harder.

🎹 We cover:

Synth name + release year

Original price + adjusted inflation value

Current resale value

Total loss 💸

A fun or tragic fact per synth

Whether it's a Fairlight, Synclavier, or the ultra-rare GX-1, some of this gear once cost more than a house… and now? Let’s just say you could buy one for the price of a laptop.

🧠 Think you can guess the biggest loser?"

Whimsical Patching


video uploads by Whimsical Raps

Playlist:

1. Whimsical Patching // 1. Audio-Rate Modulation
from Dani:
"One of my favorite aspects of modular synthesis is that signals we can hear are made of the same basic building block as signals which provide control and modulation -- they're all just voltage moving at different rates!

When we use an audio signal in the place of control voltage, we're touching into a technique broadly known as audio-rate modulation. Using audio-rate modulation in the Whimsical Raps ecosystem is incredibly rewarding, as it can unlock unexpected behaviors in familiar and new modules alike.

Here, Mangrove (our formant oscillator) modulates Silhouette's (our new 'signal combiner') SPOT, which is mixing six audio channels from Just Friends (our six-voice digital oscillator). I noticed that sending Mangrove into SPOT bleeds Mangrove's audio signal into the mix, so I tuned Mangrove to harmonize with Just Friends. This endowed FORMANT changes with new power, adding harmonic depth to the chaotic modulation -- notice the sizzle around 0:30 as FORMANT is cranked up.

Once INTONE adds distance between the ratios of Just Friends' oscillations, I reduce FORMANT to a low-frequency grumble -- I particularly enjoyed Silhouette's delayed vocalizations of these changes across the stereo field. Manually scanning SPOT offsets the input channels we're highlighting, which reveals the new INTONE-spread pitches. Increasing FORMANT introduces audible discontinuities as Mangrove regains its pitch, which are unique in the left and right channels. A final INTONE adjustment is added for performative spice, which is caught by the bucket-brigade device for a muted splash of stereo color."
