OBERHEIM OB-X8 - HISTORIA W TWOIM STUDIO
Fizmo | The last synth Ensoniq made (before they died)
video upload by Espen Kraft
"The Ensoniq Fizmo from 1998. Espen Kraft says it's the worst synth ever. Is he right? Let's find out.
This is an edited reupload from the old days. Something old, something new, something borrowed and something pink."
SISKworks cassette loop synth with effects & sequencer | Knobcon 2026
video upload by CatSynth TV
"Mike Sisk from Siskworks demonstrates the Capstan SM, a unique tape loop synthesizer prototype, at Knobcon 2026. One can think of it as a 'poor man's Mellotron'.
This instrument uses a physical tape loop to create sound. There are five note buttons, each with a trigger and independent speed knob for the motor. Additionally, there are several available effects via a built-in microprocessor. There is even a sequencer that can drive the cassette loop.

Plexiphon Is Now Shipping! | Make Noise
video upload by MAKEN0ISE
"On Saturday, October 3rd, at 3 pm, Tom Erbe will be at Perfect Circuit in Burbank, California, talking about all things Plexiphon and soundhack. The event is free!
The Make Noise Soundhack Plexiphon is a stereo, modeless spatial texturizer which allows for continuously morphing between reverberations and multi-tap echoes, the widest range of possible results being neither reverb nor echo, and all results highlighting and amplifying character previously hidden in the source material being processed.
The Plexus control simultaneously modulates the number of feedback paths in the algorithm, and their entanglement together. The Size of the paths determines the temporal relation between them, operating like a 'delay time,' or a 'room size,' at either extreme of Plexus.
Diffuse and Color offer softening/sharpening/darkening/brightening effects over time.
Couple and Skew are stereo operations: Couple determines to what degree the left and right sides are isolated or intermingled (from 'dual mono' to fully interlaced stereo), while Skew offers simultaneous inverse or tandem control of the left and right paths on the Plexus, Size, and Color parameters.
The Send gate input (normalled high, or patchable) determines whether and when the input signal will be fed into the Plexus.
An envelope follower is provided at the CV output for re-integration of the Plexus into its own controls or elsewhere in the voltage controlled system.
Plexiphon is built from entirely new code by Tom Erbe, specifically for Make Noise’s newest digital hardware.

Watch Liquid Metal Dance to Dark Drones, VHIKK X
video upload by substatica drones
"Using a VHIKK X to charm a liquid metal/ferrofluid visualizer. A dark ambient exploration with the Forge TME VHIKK X. The VHIKK X is set to Bank 1, Algorithm 2.
VHIKK X - https://nightlife-electronics.com/pro...
3D Printed Eurorack Case - https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadge...
Vhikk X by Forge TME is a multi-algorithm experimental synth workshop specialising in [but not limited to] complex drones/basses, rich textures, and dynamic sfx. It combines sound generation and effects processing into one module with multiple different algorithms.
The nature of the Vhikk X makes it suitable for situations where a compact, ergonomic, and self-contained sound source/processor would be welcome - for example smaller modular systems, or large systems where a self-contained sound island with minimised cognitive overhead would be desirable."
How He Played Live Techno on a Modular Synth — Built Around the Vhikk X
video upload by SynthDad
"I rebuilt my live rig around one module, the Forge TME Vhikk X, and this is the whole setup explained.
I go through every module in the case, what it does in the set, and why it's in there. There's a lot of playing in this one — I wanted you to hear each part in context rather than take my word for it, so most of the talking happens over a running patch.
The Vhikk X is the newest module and the one I'm still learning. It usually gets demoed as a drone voice, which isn't what I do, so I've been pushing it somewhere else. I cover what works, what doesn't, and whether it earns 24HP in a case I have to carry to a gig.
If you're putting together a rig you actually want to play in front of people, rather than one that only works at home, this should be useful."
24 Additive Synth Presets | Partials & Discrepancies 1.4.0
video upload by Unusable Engineering
"A no-talking sound demo of all 24 new factory presets included with Partials & Discrepancies 1.4.0, releasing Friday, September 25, 2026.
Each preset gets a short improvised performance and nothing else, so this is mainly a chance to hear a bit of the range of the synth and the character of the new factory bank.
A lot of the new presets lean toward the more emotional, slightly broken, unstable, cinematic, or textural side of the synth, with movement in the additive oscillator, slot sequencer, discrepancies, modulation, and the newer performance features.
Most examples are played through Geometry Reverb, which is included free with any paid Unusable Engineering plugin purchase.
There is no talking in this video, just the synth, the presets, and the little touch of reverb.
Partials & Discrepancies 1.4.0 will be available on September 25, 2026.
