Album with Make Noise only - Fracture #05 Live Performance


video upload by Anton Anru

"🎆 Fractures is the result of a series of experiments with the Make Noise modular trio: 0-Coast, Strega, and 0-Ctrl. This combination of instruments is perfectly suited for generative ambient music, where hypnotic repetition merges with expression and dynamic movement.
💽 I recorded a 10-track album using only three Make Noise devices and VST effects.
All tracks were recorded live in a single take, with no additional editing. Each piece is built around a sequenced pattern and a complex patch that evolves continuously, shaped manually in real time.

The album is available on all streaming platforms.
➕ SoundCloud: / fractures
➕ Bandcamp: https://anru.bandcamp.com/album/fract...

The album explores a wide emotional range — from brighter, more uplifting moments to darker, more noise-driven textures — offering a diverse sonic journey shaped by the raw, living nature of modular synthesis.

📒 I also have patches for Make Noise and other synthesizers: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/

🎛 Lately, I’ve been more interested in working with simpler forms rather than complex arrangements in DAW. Semi-modular synths are perfect for this approach. In this case, the arrangement is the patch itself. If it’s well thought out, you can easily play a full track in a specific genre—like ambient or techno—using just that one patch.

📝 I’m curious to hear your thoughts—does this kind of format immerse you in a certain mood or evoke a specific emotion? Or does the sound feel too experimental and harder to connect with?
I’d really appreciate any feedback. Enjoy listening!"

Industrial drums with the Plasma Voice and DB-01


video upload by Richard DeHove

"The Plasma Voice has many unexpected talents. One of them is a Channel 10 MIDI mode where you can play four octaves of sounds centred around the percussion bank. So even though this is a CV-heavy module I'm back in MIDI land using the DB-01 as a sequencer and arpeggiator.

The DB-01 is ideally suited as the master here letting you 'spin the wheel' for new patterns with the randomizer. Things get much weirder if you then start feeding it CV as well but I thought it best to keep things simple - just a couple of LFO feeds and the whole thing can get chaotic. The Plasma again proves to be a surprisingly deep little synth.

The routing here is the Plasma Voice out goes to the Zen and off to the DAW. No other effects or processing. The DB-01 is just providing MIDI note info and has no audio connected.

Additional Nightlife Electronics Listings

"The Roland SH-5 is possibly the most feature rich vintage mono synth ever made by the legendary Japanese company. With 2 LFO's, 2 VCO's, 1 variable state VCF, 1 bandpass filter, 2 Envelopes, 1 VCA, S&H, Ring Mod and a simple but powerful switch matrix for routing modulation this synth is more than capable of making some of the most incredible tones and textures you can imagine!

Made in the late 1970's 'green face' Roland era, when their synths had a certain magic sound that is hard to describe. Fizzling and alive with electricity!

A handful of patch points on the back give you access to all the essential controls via CV so that this can play along nicely with a modern set-up.

This particular SH-5 has just been fully serviced in our Synthesizer Rejuvenation and Wellness Centre and comes with a 90 day warranty of good health. Original lid included."

Make Noise 0-Coast + 0-Ctrl // Bamboo Plucks


video upload by Dexba

"I had fun playing, that's it :)
This channel should mostly be about this, and I am glad to upload something like that.
This is my fourth 0-Coast, and until now, I didn't click with it because I never had a 0-Ctrl to pair it with, and I was missing the goodness of the variable gate input, plus I love capacitive keyboards and tuning stuff by ear (like you might have guessed from my other videos), so... here we are.
Plus, this combo is SO CUTE, tiny, portable, it makes me want to eat it like a candy.
I hope you'll enjoy it!"

Sunday Session Jam 02


video upload by Luke Million

"The second instalment of my improvised jam sessions in the studio features the Roland TR-707, Jupiter 8, RE-201 and Rhodes Electric Piano.

The Jupiter 8’s Lower Arpeggiator is triggered by the TR-707 leaving the Upper part on chord duties which runs through the Space Echo. The Rhodes is going through an EchoFix Chorus Vibrato and Spring Reverb.

I was feeling late night synthwave vibes with this one!

Should I turn this idea into a full track?"

Space Ambient - Gymnopédie No. 1 (Satie, 1888)


video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"I had the idea of ​​transforming classical music into space ambient. This one is Gymnopédie No. 1 composed by Eric Alfred Leslie Satie in 1888.

I used for the recording the EMU Planet Earth with the following effects devices: Hologram Microcosm, Pigtronix Echolution² Deluxe and a GFI System Specular Reverb². Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track using iZotope Ozone. The picture in the video I created with Midjourney."

03:14 How to install
05:03 Audio Demo

"The Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter is a mix of the Jupiter-6 and and Jupiter-8. Fat, lush and powerful analog sweet/rawness. Used on a numerous 80s hits.
This patch bank is brand new with 64 new tones/patches. In a sysex-format.

Price is $25USD for this bank and it is worth every penny if you have the MKS-80.
You can get the patches directly from me through email. You can find my email address in the "about" on my channel.
You can also find the patches here:
https://thepatchbay.io/product/roland...

Full installation notes are included in the download.
The patches were made on a MKS-80 Rev.5. If you have a Rev.4 you might have to EQ the sounds a little as that's really the difference between them. One sounds a little more beefy than the other.

In this bank you'll find 64 new TONES and 64 PATCHES. The Patches point to its respective Tones. Example: Patch 35 is in WHOLE mode and points to Tone 35."

T-16 Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer (based on ARP 2600) - DEMO 002


video upload by Nitecaller.

"Another quick little ambient demo of my custom analog synth. One oscillator is sequenced whilst I play another as accompaniment. I was running the filter through one of the internal drive circuits quite hot so excuse the occasional clipping. Enjoy!

Audio signal chain: T-16, Focusrite 18i20, Ableton Live, Focusrite console SC, Ableton Echo, Valhalla Supermassive, Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor VST.

[The T-16 is a custom semi-modular synth largely based on the analog circuits of the original ARP 2600 and ARP Odyssey, with additional modifications and modules.]
