Easel Shakuhachi Interlock

video upload by Todd Barton

"Spent the last couple of days exploring ways to interface/interlock my shakuhachi with the Easel. These are just the first little steps . . ."

video upload by davidryle

"Instruo Harmonaig and MI Marbles with Acid Rain Technology Ripsaw and Doepfer A-111-4 and A-105-4. These quad vcos and filter setups were used along with some 5U large format modules from Synthetic Sound Labs, synthesizers.com, Grove Audio, Oakley Sound Systems and Moon Modular to present various sound sketches of the Harmonaig's chord outputs.
The percussive opening part trigger pattern was taken from the 4MS Quad Clock Distributor, RCD, and a switch module. The Modcan dual delay was time shifted using a triple switch module in the 5U.
Additional transpose sequences were mixed from the dotcom Q960 and Marbles to the Harmonaig.
All sounds were recorded in real-time to Cubase and video edited in Final Cut Pro."

Shibasaki MOD - Tokyo set song #7

video upload by Arman Bohn

"Song #7 from my set at Shibasaki MOD in Tokyo, April, 2025.

The MT32-pi starts it off by playing some noise samples I collected with my SOMA Ether. Those samples are being sequenced and panned (via CC LFO) by the Phantasmal Force - which is sending clock to everything.

Next, I bring in a percussive pattern in 7/8 on GREAT CONJUNCTION. I randomize some of the instruments throught creating some nice robotic textures.

After I get going, I use the Phantasmal Force to unmute different instruments (drums/synths/bass) on the Dirtywave M8.

The Prismatic Spray MKii is is layered in with some hi-hat sounding bytebeat noise, retriggered in tempo by the Phantasmal Force."

Come take a look and listen to LIMINAL SPACE with me. We’ll talky, talky, talky about reverb, algorithms, and all of that good stuff. Grab your delay line and get ready for this modulation-a-go-go verbstravaganza!"

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #147: Sony DPS-F7 - Song 1

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

A synthesizer from Sony. You might remember the DPS-F7 & other units in the series from this previous post.

This video appears to be the first demo of the Sony DPS-F7 featured on the site.

"This is the first recording with the Sony DPS-F7. As far as I know, it's the only synthesizer ever made by Sony. However, it's only part of the DPS-F7, which can also be a percussion synthesizer, as well as a fading parametric equalizer, dynamic filter, compressor/limiter, sub-harmonic generator, vocoder, and saturator.

The features sound interesting for a monophonic digital synthesizer. It has two oscillators with classic waveforms AND two Karplus-Strong oscillators, which can be routed to any of the four filters (LPF, HPF, BPF1, BPF2). You can optionally connect the HPF and the two BPFs in front of the LPF. Six ADSR envelopes are available as VCAs and VCFs. The (unfortunately) only LFO is permanently linked to the pitch. The audio signal then passes through a stereo delay and a soft clipper.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2.

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. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone."

When Silence Fell

video upload by peter m mahr

"This is the start of a long-held dream — to combine my photos with my music, letting each frame have its own soundtrack.

WHEN SILENCE FELL
A weekend tucked away in the mountains. Two souls meet in solitude, expecting a quiet evening. But sometimes, silence breaks — and words change everything.

When Silence Fell — a moment suspended between shadow and truth. This photo was taken in Toggenburg, Switzerland. The moment I snapped it, I knew right away how it should look — like in an old black-and-white Hitchcock movie.

Let the music and image tell the story you didn’t see coming.

EMS -Synthi E 1975 Vintage Modular Synthesiser demonstration

video upload by Richard Scott

"Just renovated by the excellent Constantin at Portabellabz. It recently came into my position after sitting in a cupboard unheard for decades. It is weird cranky, and the controllers are uh, unpredictable but it certainly has some charm. This is just recorded on my phone using the Synthi's internal speaker. It even runs on batteries,though I haven't tried it yet"
