Will These Eurorack Filters Destroy the Classic 303 Sound?

video upload by Metamyther

"In this video, we run a 303 through an array of Eurorack filters to explore the raw, gritty textures perfect for industrial techno and experimental electronic music. Watch as the iconic acid bassline is transformed by an array of filters, from resonant low-pass sweeps to aggressive distortion and modulation to warbly choruses. Whether you're a Eurorack enthusiast, hardware synth lover, or acid techno producer looking to push your sound design further, this deep dive showcases the power of combining classic gear with modern modular flexibility. Ideal for fans of dark grooves and hands-on sonic manipulation."

How to Make the Korg Volca FM Sound More Analog!

video upload by Dylan Ferno

"How to Make the Korg Volca FM Sound More Analog:
Quick tips on how to make a digital FM synth, such as the Korg Volca FM, have a more analog sound. Learn about the differences between digital Vs. analog synths and how to steer your synth in that direction to improve your sound design. This video explores some simple tweaks to get a richer, warmer sound with:

1. Pitch Instability - Add detuning with LFO, add chorus

2. Harmonics - First increase decay on mod envelope knob to remove envelope snappiness. Put in mono or unison mode. Next Lower ratios of operators (FrEC). Ratio of 0 is bassier, a 1:1 ratio is more saw-wave like, and 1:2 is more square-wave like. Adjust velocity and algorithm to taste.

3. Warmth with feedback - Add noise/distortion by increasing feedback between levels of 5 to 7. Adjust algorithm and velocity accordingly.

Final step (Optional): Add more pitch instability by slightly increasing operator fine control (FrEF)

OB-6 Synthesizer with Echolocator

video upload by Brian Schaft

"The OB6 Synthesizer has the ability to make wonderful deep plucky sounds as well as smooth pads. I used the Echolocator, made by erica synths, for all the effects, including the shimmery sound. Despite the OB having a decent on-board BBD delay, I found this combination is a symbiotic pair."

Melbourne Instruments NINA - Firmware Update - Multi-Track Sequencer!

video upload by The Unperson

"In today's video I am exploring the latest firmware update for the Melbourne Instruments Nina which radically expands the sequencer from a quite basic 16-step sequencer into a multi-timbral, multi-track sequencer with an insane amount of new features. There is per-step parameter locking, loads of new noise hits for making percussion, as well as live recording making it incredibly easy to perform modulations and visually see what is being modulated. For more info head on over to the Melbourne Instruments website, where you can also find my presets for free!

Meng Qi's Live Performance at TAM Club VI, Linz, Austria: Every Performance Has No Turning Back

video upload by 合成少数派 Synthesis Minority

"This is a record of my performance at the TAM Club VI event held at Stadtwerkstatt in Linz, Austria, on May 14, 2025. Linz is a city that attaches great importance to electronic art, having hosted the Linz Electronic Arts Festival since 1979. This May performance will also be included in Linz's database. I didn’t want to leave anything subpar behind. During the performance, I used the first prototype of Skies, as well as Mannequins' Just Friends and Silhouette. The sound in the venue was unexpectedly wonderful, so that I couldn't help laughing several times during the performance... I recently received the recording of this performance and would like to share it with everyone."

Franke and Ruby

video upload by davidryle

"I keep returning to the bass line off of Tangerine Dreams 'Rubycon' (1975).
This rendering is more of an exploration of variations of how to control that sequence on the synthesizers.com Q960, a clone of the Moog 960 Sequential Controller. Short but fun and always satisfying.
The oscillators used were the Q169 dual Oscillator, a Q206 and Q206A. The Q169 is in square wave and sync, the Q206 is doubling in a sawtooth wave. The Q206A is a triangle wave directly to the mix in a lower octave.
The filter was the Grove Audio G294A Tribute Series Moog transistor ladder low pass.
I also used a tube drive from the Synthetic Sound Labs/CGS 1530 Tube VCA/Timbral Gate module after the output of the filter.
The envelope generators included a Q109 for the final VCA shape, another Q109 as the filter shape, an STG EG for the tube drive gate shape and another STG EG for the lower bass vco.
The signal was split and sent to the Yusynth panning mixer from Lower West Side Studios and to an Echo Fix tape echo/reverb device. The tape echo was panned using the second row of the Q960 sequencer. That row was also sending a filter modulation voltage. The final output of the mix was sent through an Empress Reverb pedal in red reverb+delay setting.
The final third row of the Q960 sequencer was used in 'Third Row Control Of Timing' mode for the fast burst motion as in the original bass line performance by Tangerine Dream."

Lost in Teenage Engineering OP-XY - Stranger Things' inspired jam

video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"Exploring deep basslines and cinematic textures with the Teenage Engineering OP-XY – a dark synth journey inspired by Stranger Things.

There are moments like this when I feel lost.

Every time, I tell myself that I need to move on, change things up a bit, make a jam with another synth; but the Teenage Engineering OP-XY is a vortex that pulls you in once you find the right sounds, the rest just flows naturally. This happened with the Danger Things sound pack by Metropolis Border, inspired by the dark atmospheres of Stranger Things: as soon as I started listening to it, something clicked, and just dropping in a deep bass was enough to kick everything off.
In the track, I also used some of OP-XY’s default presets, and I realized that with just a touch of sound design, you can bring out some really great things. At the bottom, you’ll find links to all the packs I used.

As usual, the beginning is very ambient, but the track quickly evolves, taking darker and more mysterious turns, until it reaches the rhythmic part, which is definitely more intense than usual. I only prepared the song’s scenes, but I preferred to perform it live. During the performance, I let myself go, especially towards the end, really getting into it: OP-XY’s punch-in effects are as simple to use as they are effective.

Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy it.

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

Walking in a Hypnotic Dream (recording studio video production)

video upload by Davide Micheli

"This song tells the story of a journey taken by two people who love each other and say to each other, 'you whisper my way, you whisper my way, you whisper my way, you move my borders.' The two travelers sometimes dream of going to desert and no time places. In these places, the imagination and the soul can free itself from the burdens of everyday life.

The song was also produced with vintage analog synthesizers to give it an 80s funk feel."

"Some easy modifications (Filter FM, VCA boost) and a couple of inside pictures of the Donner L1 synthesizer module. You can see how the alfa par ICs are used for VCO, VCF and VCA, how the whole magnetic keyboard system is arranged and how the ADSRs are digital (not that they soudn any less funky!). All sounds in the demo are from a modified unit."
