PlayFader PlayMates - Intellijel Atlantix, Roland Aira S-1, Algoriddim DJAY Pro, Ableton Live & Link

video upload by Play All Day

"PlayFader is made in Cyprus and I’ve just relocated back to Cyprus permanently after 30 years away. I really miss the place and I’m so happy to be home.

At the same time as arriving, the amazing @caroline_myvolts introduced me to Dim, head honcho at @synthesizergr and he wanted to stock PlayFader. This means so much to me, to have a Cypriot-made electronic music device being sold in Athens, Greece 🇨🇾❤️🇬🇷

So… PlayFader is now available in @synthesizergr

I wanted to do something special to celebrate this 🫠

I wanted to make a full length performance for Dim and celebrate the best of modern Greek dj’s and producers while showcasing PlayFader as the expressive and creative instrument that it is. Especially in one of my favourite contexts, as a live sequencer that you can use to perform while dj’ing. I’m after all more of a dj than a producer. And this is my happy place where I absolutely fucking love to use PlayFader 👊

Dim pointed me in the direction of @echonomist_music and I instantly found this track that I fell in love with. It’s about homecoming and joy… 💛

What you see in this video is only the 2nd take, totally improvising over the entirety of the track “Happiest of all memorial days”.

It would have been the 1st take but I forgot to plug the audio into the camera 😂

There are some slightly less perfect moments, but I was absolutely in my flow state and enjoyed every second of playing!
And that’s the point I wanted show. PlayFader is a live performance instrument and a wise genius synth-builder once said “instruments reward practice and perseverance”. (Vlad from Soma thank you 🙏)

Me and Jason designed PlayFader to give users lots of support and freedom - stay tightly locked into the groove and wander far away from it at any time, always with the option to come back to where you were.

There’s lots going on in this, too much to explain in detail here. It’s 7 minutes long and uses lots of features like the dual buffers, live switching, Latch play, Fun fx, ratchets etc etc.

Left channel is playing @rolandsynthandaira S-1. Right channel is playing the @intellijel Atlantix. I’m using @algoriddimofficial djay Linked to @ableton 💛

Enjoy ❤️"

Suziki Siel Expander 80 Synth Test

"Test of my Siel 80 synth. All synth sounds are from the Siel, sequenced with Ableton. I recorded the Siel onto multiple tracks but one of the tracks is being recorded live in the video whilst I tweak the Siel filter using Midi CC with a Max4Live device.
The kick and hat are not from the Siel.

The Siel uses an SSM2045 filter."

Sonicware LoFi-6, Make Noise Strega & Ableton MODE

video upload by Sonicware LoFi-6, Make Noise Strega & Ableton MODE

"Sound: Ambient Drone Sample Pack https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

A cinematic atmosphere made of sound, not melody.

This is not a collection of loops. It is a carefully curated archive of long-form drone textures, each exceeding five minutes, sculpted for those who create without the need for rhythm, harmony, or resolution. Designed for deep listeners and sound designers.

From seasoned ambient producers to experimental filmmakers, this pack speaks to those who understand that sound can live and breathe without a beat. Built from legendary hardware units and bespoke digital tools, these drones are not simply sounds. They are environments.
What you get
152 Long Drones

Each drone is a sustained sound object, stripped of melodic intention, tonal center, and conventional structure. Yet within that restraint lies a world of motion, tension, and resonance. Ideal for background atmospheres, immersive installations, or the subtle shaping of sonic space.

Crafted with attention to sonic texture
Every file in this pack was created by hand. Each layer was tuned for grain, depth, and movement. This is not the kind of material you will find in generic libraries. It rewards slow listening and detailed placement. If you care about the feel of sound as much as its function, you will feel at home here. Always growing, always free to update

If you have already purchased this pack, new files have already been added at no additional cost. If you are still considering it, now is a good time. Ambient Drone (Sample Pack) is in constant evolution. Once you own it, every update is yours.

Superlative SB01 (Space Bee) :: Live Sequence :: Boss DM-101 :: Strymon BigSky

"Tweaking a live sequence from the new Superlative SB01 (Space Bee), with the Roland JX-8P singing along here and there and pepper & salt from the Boss DM-101 analog delay and Strymon BigSky reverb. Background noise is from the notoriously noisy JX-8P chorus, not the other devices..."

Superlative SB01 (Space Bee) :: Soma Cosmos :: Roland JX-8P :: Ambient live jam :: PART I

video upload by Harry van Mierloo

"This week I've received my Superlative SB01 (Space Bee)... after 6 years of patiently waiting! 😅 Super happy with it so far. Very beautiful to see and built like an American tank. Sound wise I cannot distinguish it from my SH-101 here. The SB01 actually sounds slightly better, probably due to the age of the components of my good old SH-101. And it's definitely a lot more solid and thinner than the original, due to the metal casing.

Instead of a full review or demonstrating all the classic 101 sounds that you find all over the internet already, I thought let's just practice a bit more with my ‪@somasynths‬ Cosmos and put the SB01 through it for some real-world sounds and live ambient, together with my good old JX-8P (always a great companion for 101 sounds).

All recorded in one take in Ableton, with a touch of salt from the ‪@strymon‬ BigSky.

Enjoy!"

Superlative SB01 (Space Bee) :: Soma Cosmos :: Roland JX-8P :: Ambient live jam :: PART II

video upload by Harry van Mierloo

"New day, new recording... With exactly the same setup as yesterday I've recorded another dark ambient jam, again with a primary role for the new Superlative SB01 (Space Bee), together with the Roland JX-8P through the wonderful ‪@somasynths‬ Cosmos.

This time I’ve managed to fix the video latency issue when exporting from Ableton, so video & audio should now be in sync. 😅

Enjoy!"

BD, SD, HiHat, Shaker, Bass, Atmos : YAMAHA TQ5

Raw FM textures for forward-thinking bass music producers
This pack captures the unmistakable character of Yamaha’s late 1980s 4-operator FM synths, with all their sharp digital edges and lo-fi charm intact. The TQ5, often hidden in the shadow of its more famous siblings, holds a unique place in synthesis history.

Lofi Ambient Beats w/ OP-1 field, LYRA-8, LOSSY | Olive 2025-06-21 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A track crafted with the ‪@somasynths‬ Lyra-8, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY—an ambient beat that layers sounds into a lo-fi atmosphere.

OP-1 field: A master NITRO filter shapes the sound, and the output runs through LOSSY for an overall lo-fi vibe. The rhythm section is pre-recorded, with harmony and synth phrases overdubbed.

Lyra-8: Modulated tones are given a touch of the onboard delay, creating abstract textures.

Microphone (RØDE NT-4): Captures hand-bell hits, which receive reverb and delay in Ableton Live.

Post-production: Omnisphere is added in Ableton to layer a few extra sound effects."

Ambient Improvisation w/ Prophet-10, Tape Loop, monome Grid | Bookmark 2025-06-19 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, modular synth, and tape loops—ambient music where glitchy modular rhythms drift beneath slow-moving harmonies.

Prophet-10: Improvised live with ‪@strymon‬ blueSky reverb.

Modular synth: A Plaits voice is sequenced by a monome Grid and WHITE WHALE, bit-reduced through a Roland BITRAZER, then further processed with ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY and the MOOD MK II. In Ableton Live, two layers of Beat Repeat add additional glitches.

Tape loop: A pre-recorded piano loop is played back at half speed. Its output feeds the ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM, where reverb and looping create layered textures."
