Moog Subharmonicon + Boss DM101 // Analog does it better.

video upload by Dexba

"Moog, Roland: YES, please, more of THIS.
Blablabla limitations, blablabla the future.
I – DON'T – CARE. This sounds so good, it reminds me of the amazing Matriarch, which has the gorgeous delay built in, and that characterful Moog sound. Boy, I miss that keyboard.
Anyway, this is why I fiddle with hardware synthesizers: living these moments of bliss when everything aligns, the chord strikes perfectly and the BBD provide you with that nostalgia of times and places you've never visited. Lovely.
I hope you'll get to experience the same, both here watching this video and in your sonic explorations!"

TITAN Patch Bank: A Yamaha SY77/TG77 soundbank of 64 patches

video upload by MIDERA

"It has taken me years to publish this sound set. Mostly - I did not think it was that good, but I was asked repeatedly to release it. So that is what I am doing. I am quite horrible at showcasing bass sounds, of which I had quite a few here. I believe my original goal was to make either SH-101 or Minimoog type sounds and get that sweet sweet Lately Bass patch so I could sell my TX81z. I think I succeeded, at least a little bit there.

My playing was not rehearsed, as it already takes a lot of time to showcase each sound. This will, of course, be obvious when you listen, because it will not sound particularly good or refined. Plus, there are no external FX, which I personally like to use, but won't on a soundbank or patchbank video because I want to make sure you are hearing exactly what you will get when purchasing the patches.

These patches span the years from 2017 when I got the SY77, until today. I honestly can't believe I've had the thing that long. That's 8 years I've owned this. It's still one of my favorites.

If you'd like to purchase my soundset, please go to my webpage and shoot me an email: https://www.midera-artist.com/synthes..."

DualWavebank Overlay for Osmose and Electra One MK2 Controller Features Summary

video upload by EaganMatrix Programming

"A video describing the features of the soon to be released Beta version of the Dual WaveBank Overlay for Electra One (MK2) controller - that abstracts EaganMatrix programming and lets you concentrate on configuring sounds using controls you are used to (in fact you could never program these features into a single EaganMatrix preset on the Osmose as only six Macros are available for on-board presets. But Overlays ex[pand that greatly allowing for complex synths to be created from a single EaganMatrix preset. Sorry - it's the video's here sound but I think you still get a good idea of the feature set. This describes the version that will run on the Expressive E Osmose.

Note: This only runs on the EL1 and only on the MK2 version due to resource limitations of MK1. It cannot be ported easily to any other platform as the Lua code uses many EL1 specific calls, though the EaganMatrix Overlay preset (dualwaveosmose.mod) used by the Overlay could be reused by another application that could add a similar feature set. All these features come from one single Osmose preset running on the Osmose - controlled by the EL1 Overlay application."

Only 16 Samples?! This Minimal Eurorack Techno Slaps!

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"I wanted to see what I could create using ONLY 16 samples.

This is a really basic setup with triggers and modulation only, no pitch sequencing.

This setup also does not allow for any velocity programming, every sound triggers at 100% max velocity - making it almost impossible to program build ups to help with the ebb and flow of the track.

I also did not have any room for riser or impact sounds which really help with keeping the intensity level a bit higher.

All things considered though, it's not a half bad track - just a little basic, perhaps... ;)

Vongon Replay | Seven Synth Sketches

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Exploring the Vongon Replay with... another Vongon Replay.

00:00 - Galloping and ghosts
02:34 - Solo, dry then wet
04:18 - Solo, cascading weird arp
05:07 - Solo, sentimental nostalgia
07:15 - High arp, low chords
10:49 - Slow arp, bass notes
15:28 - Rolling bassline, major-minor

I bought a Replay with my own money, a year or so ago. I find it useful to have around, and to travel with: it's small, what-you-see-is-what-you-get, sounds good, has a keyboard, and generally fits into a variety of setups.

Recently, MAS Distribution asked me if they could send over the new black Replay for me to play with. It's the exact same synth, but I thought it might be fun to get two Replays up on the table and just explore.

So that's what this is: seven improvisations or written-on-the-spot ideas using two Replays. For effects, I tried out the Ultrasheer (Vongon's reverb/vibrato combo) and my trusty Chroma Console (for colour/saturation/delay). The performance was recorded live to a stereo output with extremely gentle EQ & compression, plus limiting on the master.

I think it showcases why I like this synth: you sit down and noodle on it and you come up with ideas. It evokes nostalgic, sentimental sounds that are uncomplicated but pretty. I know there's a whole world of internet discourse about this synth, but ultimately what matters to me is how something works as an instrument. I think the Replay does its job pretty well.

Thanks for listening."

ARTEMIS, un polifónico ANALÓGICO compacto y completo

video upload by Hispasonic

"El buen sabor que acostumbra a dejar Dreadbox con sus analógicos está presente en el sintetizador polifónico Artemis, que ofrece seis voces sustractivas y las completa con 4 efectos para llegar, pese a lo compacto del formato en módulo, a sonidos a través sus salidas estéreo.

No habíamos traído a Hispasonic este modelo que recientemente ha pasado a estar disponible en tiendas, así que hemos aprovechado la visita a Superbooth 2025 para daros a conocer sus características y mostrároslo en acción en varios de los primeros presets de los hasta 512 que puede alojar internamente.

"The good taste that Dreadbox usually leaves with its analog synthesizers is present in the Artemis polyphonic synthesizer, which offers six subtractive voices and complements them with four effects to achieve sounds through its stereo outputs, despite the compactness of its module format.

We hadn't brought this model to Hispasonic, which has recently become available in stores, so we took advantage of our visit to Superbooth 2025 to introduce you to its features and show it in action with several of the first presets of the up to 512 it can store internally.

Korg/Univox Poly Ensemble S PE2000/K5 Polyphonic String Synthesizer

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

via this Reverb listing

"Fully polyphonic 48 key analog string synth. Classic 70's string/ensemble synth sounds. Amazingly thick, and warm sounding- sounds huge and dreamy. Used by Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Hawkwind.

Works great. Voice selection buttons/switch contacts recently cleaned, and working well. Built in case has new latches installed.

Treble eq control is very scratchy, but works once set. Some of the other pots may be slightly scratchy, but all work. Light on power button does not light up- power switch is functional- unit powers on/off, but light doesn't work. Scratches/nicks on top (top is great for stacking other gear on).

I've had the pleasure of owning this beast for 20 years- it's gotten a good amount of use, but has been well taken care of, and rarely taken out of the house.

Stacks 3 oscillators per key/voice in octaves- you can also turn two of the oscillators on or off to use two or one oscillator per key/voice. Can also detune two of the oscillators separately to create a thicker, layered sound. Buttons/switches for selecting sounds can be simultaneously pressed to stack sounds. Built in phazer sounds excellent."

The Kingdom of Ice | Contemplative downtempo ambient soundscape with DSI Poly Evolver and Virus TI

video upload by MIDERA

"Yesterday was my mom’s birthday. Today is Mother’s Day… crazy for me to think that she hasn’t been here for two of either of these. It is hard to be without her. I think about her often. I had planned to watch her favorite Indian movie last night… but I couldn’t bring myself to watch it (it’s not exactly my kind of movie), so instead my wife and I picked a movie we’d never seen. Fire and Ice. It was pretty bad. I had thought since I loved the Lord of the Rings by the same director, this would be as good, but I was mistaken. So, I didn’t really do anything to honor my mom, but I guess she’d have been just as happy knowing I was enjoying myself.

Poly Evolver for arpeggiated sounds.
Off camera, I used my Virus TI for pads.

Sunday Jam #78 : Chilled Groove for MIDI Tracker on RC2014

It should sound very similar. In that case I was using MT32 mode on the MT32-Pi, and I've made a few changes as I've transcribed it. RC2014: https://z80kits.com"

Project reveal : Tracker software for RC2014

"this is a terminal-based MIDI Tracker for RC2014 (an 8-bit Z80 computer).
I like making music as well as programming, trackers are a traditional method of creating chiptunes and I want to make some more serious software to supply with my MIDI module.
As well as MIDI output, a MIDI keyboard can be used to input notes. You can copy and paste a note, or you can mark a range and copy and paste a block of notes to repeat a phrase, copy to a different track, or even a different pattern.

Chilled groove - Amiga + MT32-Pi

video upload by MIDI IN

"Something a bit different musically - I wanted to try to capture the chilled groove of a couple of Groove Armada songs.

I composed this in Logic, and then keyed it note-by-note into Octamed (took hours). Octamed is sending the notes as MIDI to my MT32-Pi (details about the setup at the end of the video). I'm really happy with the result. Some of the instruments sound very realistic but some not so good (sampled brass always sounds dodgy!)

Vanilla Synth by muSonics – Boutique Analog Beauty at Superbooth 2025

video upload by Jonathan Knightsnare

"At Superbooth 2025, I had one of those “stop in your tracks” moments when I stumbled across muSonics' Vanilla Synthesizer — and luckily, got to hang out with the incredibly thoughtful creator, Amos, who walked me through the philosophy and craftsmanship behind this stunning instrument.

The Vanilla Synthesizer is a 5U modular analog synth, but don’t let the minimalist look fool you — under the hood, this thing is loaded with sonic personality and beautifully engineered references to vintage legends:

🎛️ The filter takes inspiration from the SEM/Oberheim lineage, offering that sweet, musical, slightly gritty character that feels alive at every knob turn.

🎚️ The mixer section is modeled after a vintage Moog CP3, giving your waveforms a subtle analog saturation that glues sounds together in a way no plugin can touch.

🔁 Normalized patching means you can play without any cables, but every section can still be overridden, so it's flexible for both beginners and modular veterans.

🌰 All of this is housed in a gorgeous solid walnut enclosure, handcrafted and finished in Illinois — it’s a tactile joy that looks like a piece of mid-century art as much as a synth.

What struck me most wasn’t just how good it sounds — which it does — but how thoughtful the whole instrument feels. It’s clear that Amos isn’t just an engineer, but a true musician and synth lover who’s building tools meant to inspire.

This isn’t mass-market gear. It’s boutique, handcrafted, analog music woodwork. And if you’ve ever wanted a synth that feels like an heirloom, this is it."

In addition to the New England Synth Fest that happens a few times a year, there are groups putting on some amazing events, backed up by some amazing visual artists. I had the opportunity to participate in one by a production group called fels, at their Sound X Light X Movement series.

Welson Super-Matic S12

You can demos in previous posts here.

"The unit is fully working and in good cosmetical condition for its age with some cosmetical traces of use in the wood case. The only thing to report is that the on/off switch button in this unit is not working. So, to turn the drum machine on and off you simply have to unplug the drum machine! Inside the drum machine there is something that moves (a screw or something else), but - since the drum machine works well - we never decided to remove it. Real vintage gem from Italy: grab a bargain!

DESCRIPTION: The Welson Super-Matic S12 is a vintage Italian analog rhythm box drum machine with 12 preset rhythms. Produced in early 70's, it has 4 pads to trigger 4 sounds: Roll Drum, Claves, Tom 1 and Tom 2. Then it has 12 different rythms: Waltz, Tango, Western, March, Samba, Mambo, Bossa Nova, Swing, Shake, Slow Rock, Rythm and Blues and Metronome.

It has a potentiometer to control the volume and another to control the tempo.

It has 4 push buttons (pads trigger) that allow you to play 4 different types of percussions at any time (Roll drum, Clave, Tom1 and Tom2).

It has a START/STOP and an ON/OFF switch (IMPORTANT: in this unit the ON/OFF button is NOT working: so, to turn the drum machine on and off you simply have to unplug it!).

It also has a light that turns on when you turn on the Super-Matic and that flashes with the frequency of the rhythm (set by the tempo potentiometer).

It also has a tone and impedance control potentiometers in the back!

Welson was the Italian brand that produced many legendary instruments. The Company was based in Castelfidardo (Marche, Italy), in the same area where Eko, Elka, Elgam, Farfisa, Crumar, Jen, Siel, Solton, CRB, etc. were born."

Update: press release follows:

The Roland SH-4d Desktop Synthesizer expands its creative potential with Version 2.0. The free upgrade gives electronic music producers new sonic capabilities with two expressive new OSC Models, pattern chaining for streamlined performances, and serious workflow refinements.

Two new OSC Models

STEP for step-based LFO modulation to produce dynamic movement within tones. From rigid, classic analog step sequencer-inspired phrases locked into the groove, to experimental soundscapes with curves, swells, bleeps and bloops.

HARMONIC for rich, layered sounds with a classic drawbar organ layout. Prime for creating essential house bass tones, bell-like chimes, deep pads, and powerful organ sounds with hands-on control of four harmonically tuned drawbars.

Workflow refinements

PATTERN CHAIN for streamlined hands-free performances and song construction.

SYSTEM-LEVEL FX options for consistent Reverb, Delay, and Chorus settings across all patterns for cohesive mixes in the studio as well as uninterrupted pattern switching while playing live.

QUICK OVERWRITE for saving tone and pattern data with less steps, never breaking creative momentum.

UNDO/REDO function now supported up to 10 times for worry-free experimentation when creating sequences.

New SUB-STEP options for off-grid note entry, shifting synth and drum hits behind-the-beat for looser grooves and greater variations when paired with Probability.

Extended MIDI control with improved program change implementation and new options for which MIDI data is transmitted to external devices.

"Amazing reissue of a rare classic. I bought it a few months ago, somewhat on impulse, and it hasn't found its way into my setup. It is in immaculate, like-new condition without a single blemish and everything works as new. I'm very particular about my gear and always handle it carefully and take good care of it. The unit has always been stored, covered when not in use, in a smoke/pet free climate controlled studio.

This thing is built like a tank (very solid and heavy), has great connectivity options and, most importantly, sounds incredible!"

Teenage Engineering K.O. II KNOCK OUT - How about a FMT and start from scratch?

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The Teenage Engineering is an affordable sampler with 64 MB of memory. In this video I'd like to focus on sampling found sounds, noise boxes and small modular setups. I'll start by formatting the internal memory (FMT) which is a great way to really get to know the KO II without going through all features first. This is not a tutorial. If you want to learn how it works, please visit ‪@SONWU‬ and check out his series which also includes the firmware update.

It's a great machine to stay away from the DAW but also a good 'brain' for sequencing external gear with MIDI, and for turning modular mono sounds into pads and textures. Another cool trick is to sample a chord under each pad, so you can play all kinds of complicated chord progressions with one finger."
