Rhodes piano and Sequential Prophet 10 Ambient mood


video by MIDERA

"I had filmed using another angle, but apparently I didn't actually hit 'record'. With 2 minutes left I heard the shutter snap as the unit shut down and I realized there would be no 'overhead' shot. I wasn't going to re-make the video. So this is what you're stuck with. Shot #2.

I used the Sequential Prophet 10 which went through the Tomkat Super Day Dreamer pedal, into the Boss MD500 and had some Eventide Blackhole VST on it.

The Rhodes Mark I Stage Piano 1977 went through the Avion Studios Retro Flyer preamp and then through Eventide Blackhole VST."

"Original, improvised piece for (mostly) analogue keyboards."

Studio Electronics CODE Omega Juno / Jupiter Modes & Mood


video by StudioElectronics

"Exuberant CODEOmega Juno/Jupiter Filer Mode Workout (maybe that should have been in all caps) for the love of juicy chords/SE filters and our optional yet essential 6dB switch mod & mood. Track isos potentially available upon possibly heartfelt requests."

ARP 1601 Sequencer with ARP 2600 synth


video by O.Z. Hall

"This is a demo of a 1977 ARP 1601 Sequencer. It drives the ARP 2600 synth.
Digital Delay is provided via the Z506 Swiss Daisy DSP.
About this sequencer.
I purchased this sequencer new in 1977. I sold it to Ken W., a friend, perhaps 10 years later. He has kept it in great condition, but some of the ICs failed. The clock did not work. The sequencing did not work. I repaired it over the period of two weeks."

Xiu Xiu Makes the Most Horrendous Synth Sounds Humanly Possible


video by Perfect Circuit

"Toting an extensive range of sonic machines, experimental group Xiu Xiu’s driving members Angela Seo and Jamie Stewart recently paid a visit to our studio to give us a lesson on intentionally crafting “the most disgusting sounds” possible. With their eclectic assortment of test equipment oscillators, a towering Eurorack modular system, effects pedals, and more, prepare your eardrums to be blessed (or barraged, depending on your inclination for harsh electronic sounds) by the pummeling frequencies contained in this video.

With some of our favorite pieces like the Make Noise DPO, Verbos Harmonic Oscillator, and the aptly named Total Sonic Annihilation from Death by Audio, Angela and Jamie show off a few setups for building up immensely destructive audio. Their valuable insight into curating feedback and noise with intention offers plenty of valuable tips and considerations for prospective explorers of the unpredictable and harsher worlds of sound design.

Patina of Purity


video by nbor

"After spending sometime making some presets for sonicLAB Fundamental (a very unusual activity, as you bathe in sine waves), I wondered how they might fit into a musical piece. I joined an odd patch with Audio Damage Phosphor and Arturia Buchla Easel V as they seemed appropriate. Phosphor is all additive synthesis of sine tones, and the Buchla Easel is just....great. I enjoy the contrast of the chaos from Fundamental and slow tones from the others. Overdubs played on t.he Sensel Morph, using MPE"

Meet Sassy - the Audio Spreadsheet Synthesizer


Audio Spreadsheet, 1.0 beta trailer video by Jari Komppa

"Sassy beta is available at https://sol-hsa.itch.io/sassy​"



"Sassy is an audio spreadsheet. Or, as it stands, it's THE audio spreadsheet.

It's a spreadsheet. You can add values to cells, ask it to average a range.

It's a synthesizer. You can ask it to generate a sine wave based on time, and output it through your speakers. Add an ADSR envelope, modulate the frequency based on MIDI input note, put in some filters and hey, it's an actual instrument.

Sassy includes over 100 functions, including some that largely make sense in a spreadsheet way (like finding maximum value out of a range) and others that largely make sense in a synthesizer way (like high pass filter, various waveform generators, delays etc) as well as a whole lot that make sense in both (like trigonometry).

Want to control something with a slider? Just add slider() to your formula, and a slider pops up. Same goes for buttons, toggles, graphs, fft:s.

Want to control something with your midi keyboard? Just add calls to midipot, midinote, midinoteon, midival.

Want to control your midi synth with Sassy? Just add midiout, midioutpot, midioutpitch..

Want to take audio in and modify it with Sassy in real time? Just call add in().

Sassy is currently in beta, and further progress depends on feedback. Join on in and come talk with other beta testers [on discord]

1.2 Beta hilights:
- Scope
- Virtual keyboard
- Plotxy, sample+hold+interpolate

1.1 Beta hilights:
- Significantly faster JIT engine
- UI scaling
- Polyphonic midi input
See changelog.txt for details."
