The EMS Synthi AKS is a portable analog synthesizer made in the early 1970s by Electronic Music Studios (UK). It's famous for its matrix patchboard instead of patch cables, allowing users to connect oscillators, filters, envelopes, and other modules in a unique, compact format. It has a distinctively experimental, unpredictable sound, ideal for sound design, ambient textures, and electronic effects.
Usage:
Commonly used for spacey effects, glitches, drones, and modular-style sound exploration.
Known for creating robotic, alien, and cinematic textures.
Notable artists, songs, and albums:
Pink Floyd – “On the Run” from The Dark Side of the Moon (1973): the Synthi AKS was used to build the entire sequenced synth line.
Brian Eno – featured throughout Another Green World (1975) and Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1978): used for ambient textures and sonic experimentation.
Jean-Michel Jarre – used in Oxygène (1976) and Équinoxe (1978): for spacey effects and sweeping synth patterns.
Aphex Twin – rumored use on Selected Ambient Works Volume II (1994): for eerie, modulated soundscapes (though not officially confirmed).
Daft Punk – used during the production of Random Access Memories (2013): particularly for layering effects and unusual timbres on tracks like Touch.
The Synthi AKS is a cult classic—unpredictable but powerful for those who embrace its quirks.

AKAI - SB1 - Deep Impact
"... for a lengthy spell, bassists that used pedals were given a side-eye.
But as synth pedals continue to be made, it’s hard to believe that some of its earliest heavy-hitters were released in the ‘80s and ‘90s, such as the Korg X-911 and the DigiTech XP300 Space Station. But while those faffed about with a more general kitchen-sink approach to the subject, it was Akai in 200X that came out with the most potent offering to date. This is the Akai SB1 Deep Impact.
Although some places claim the Deep Impact came out in the late ‘90s, nobody that I know is entirely sure when the Deep Impact was released. As far as I can tell, it was 2002. Prior to that, Akai’s “professional” website came out with guns blazing about its silver boxed series that included the VariWah and Intelliphase. However, a short time later, Akai Pro’s website appeared to go dark, resurfacing with pictures of gleaming mixers and MPCs. It’s too bad; the Head Rush, Unibass and Deep Impact were arguably the best pedals Akai ever produced.
When a pedal’s endorsee list contains players like Bootsy Collins, Chris Wolstenholme and Paul Turner of Jamiroquai, you pretty much know what to expect: throbbing, guttural filter sweeps with a funk chaser. And yeah, you get that. But you get a pretty bang-on stab at a host of synth patches, including fifths, warbling pads and much more. It’s not without its limitations, though.
The Unibass and Deep Impact were centered on the frequency range of the bass guitar; the Unibass generated a fat unison mode with an octave up and subtle thickening, which is easily adaptable to six strings. However, the Deep Impact in particular made no bones about its applications. When played with a guitar, notes outside of the bass frequency range cut through at a very distinct threshold, and not in a “hardware limitation” kind of way; there is a literal cut-off point. One note in a scale gets enveloped in the circuit, and the very next rings through as if there was no effect at all.
The way it’s used is deceptively complex. Like the old analog synths it seeks to replicate, dialing in a patch takes a little effort, and in the same way as many of them. Two of the unit’s three knobs are for input and output levels—the Input control is accented with a metering system and lets you set the clipping threshold of the unit before setting the output volume. While two-thirds of the knobs are standard fare, the money is in the program system.
On offer are nine programs with a blank parametric slate. The left footswitch cycles through these programs in ascending order, while an optional footswitch cycles in descending order, and the center control cycles through 10 different parameters (and one preset loading option), all of which are fully adjustable with the rotary encoder in the center of the unit. Most of them correspond to controls on real analog synths, such as (filter) Cutoff, Resonance, Attack and Decay. When you factor in this multi knob, the Deep Impact actually has 12 controls for your tweaking pleasure, far more than the competition. And the ends to which you can adjust the tone are relatively absurd.
While vintage synths of yore can oscillate and destroy your ears when the resonance is cranked, Akai thoughtfully keeps the extent of the parameters usable. With that being said, the Deep Impact will mercilessly punish any subwoofer placed before it. Akai promises a four-oscillator affair within the Deep Impact and while there’s no way to dial it in solely based on those merits, it certainly sounds gargantuan. It’s probably why they are worth so much.
The original designer of the Deep Impact, one Andras Szalay, revived the project well after Akai washed its hand of the line under the company name PandaMIDI and the product name Future Impact I. For a spell, it was tough even to get one of those, and prices encroached upon the original. Now on its third revision, readily available and with a new brand name, the Future Impact continues to carry the torch. There’s just something about that Akai unit, though..."

Pictured is my current modular rig* (1,2,3). In addition to these cases I currently also use a Make Noise Strega and 0-Ctrl, Moog DFAM and Spectravox, and Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2. All recordings played live, processed through Elektron Analog Heat mk1, and recorded via Zoom H4n.
Each system is housed in an Intellijel performance case. Each is intended to fill a specific purpose, and to be playable as its own instrument - though of course they're more powerful than the sum of their parts when put together.
The first is a "modular drum machine" with many voices and complex, focused sequencing. There's a couple of fun routing options and effects, but it's intended to be like a groovebox.
The second is, for lack of a better word, a texture processor. Feedback, sample mangling, and smooth tactile control are the name of the game here.
The third started off as a more classic synth, and can still fill that role with several oscillators, a filter, and a delay. But the open ended nature of so many of the modules allows for much feedback patching of CV and audio for various glitchy ends.
*The bottom row of each case is for planning purposes of changes to make, and not reflective of a secret third 3U row in the performance cases.

The most popular Eurorack module is Make Noise's MATHS, which is sometimes described as an analog computer. Some years ago, synth YouTuber loopop did a video about the module, starting by breaking down the basic functions into three parts: attenuverting, mixing, and slew rate limiting. Attenuverting is a portmanteau of "attenuating" — turning down — and "inverting"; mixing combines signals by adding them together; slew rate limiting is slowing down the rate of change of a signal, making it rise or fall more slowly. By combining these functions (and the extra features Make Noise included), loopop demonstrated about 22 different things a MATHS can do, from basic envelope generation to LFOs to sidechaining to even acting as an audio filter or VCA.
I don't have a MATHS; it's a bit too pricey for my budget (though it's by no means the most expensive of Make Noise's many desirable modules). I have instead a home-built combination of three modules: two copies of Voxmachina's Sigma function and slew generator and a three-channel mixer of my own design, with attenuverters on two of those input channels. And when I just rewatched that loopop video, it turns out my setup can do all but three of those 22 functions, because my mixer doesn't have an analog OR output or a separate inverted output. Which is not too bad for a much lower price point and the satisfaction of saying I made it myself.
(I've gone through some MATHS cookbooks before to translate their patches to a dual Sigma setup, and there are, of course, a couple of other features that MATHS provides and my setup lacks. The MATHS slew channels have independent and simultaneous CV control over rise, fall, and "both", where Sigma provides the equivalent of a "both" and a switchable CV input over one of those; in MATHS, the slope shape, from exponential through linear to logarithmic, is selectable without self-patching; there isn't a gate input to control cycling; and MATHS channel 1 has an "end of rise" trigger instead of the "end of cycle" one that channel 4 or Sigma provides. The kinds of patches that require one or more of the missing features aren't enough to make me desperate to upgrade, but they'd be nice. Replacing the mini mixer with a larger version with attenuverters on each input and an OR out is in the medium-term plans.)
loopop did a follow-up video about using a MATHS to duplicate the dual-suboscillator function of the then-unreleased Moog Subharmonicon, and it turns out my setup can do that too — I was just listening to my system rigged to divide down a VCO signal with the Sigmas, to create random chords from a single note.

Hello! Welcome to my music sideblog!!
I'm Char (they/she) and my main blog is over at @vulpes-aestatis where I do all my regular weird internet shitposting scrapbooking.
Just some background I guess: a little while ago I saw a post on tumblr that had one of those videos of a modular system hooked up to a mushroom. I thought, "oh wow, this is really cool, I wish I could do do something like that," and I fell hard down the modular synth rabbit hole. I quickly discovered that synth modules are very expensive, but I also came across Ray Wilson's Make: Analog Synthesizers and realized that I already had a bunch of the electronics parts I needed sitting in a bin next to my desk. I reacquainted myself with a bunch of electronics concepts (including op amps, my old nemesis from my college mechoptronics class). I've also started looking into some music theory, which turns out it's one of those topics I wish I had discovered way earlier in my life.
As of right now, the only thing I've actually built is a VCO prototype based on the Noise Toaster that's presented in the book I mentioned above. I think initially, I'll probably end up getting pre-designed pcb's and panels rather than design my own, but it'll still be absolutely fascinating to explore all the intricacies of how it all works.
I think it might be fun to use this blog as kind of a dumping ground to explain some of the concepts and the various things I'm working on: electronics, synth patches, music stuff, or I guess anything even vaguely related. I guess I'll see how it goes and what direction I want to go, but I'm excited to start on this journey with y'all!

Hydrangea Dogs is a new synth project with good friend Bryan Hitchcock (The Pen Test, Material). Our first album "Flower of Dog" is now streaming in all the usual places. "Hydrangea Dogs combine expansive modular synth patches with cheap warm analog melodies and sonorously droning squarewaves. Rhythmic processing propels enthusiastic bounding through pastoral, feathery patterns that interlock and shift underfoot. Wistful chords swell and sparkle with chimes and glinting reflections in the periphery. These are active and playful Dogs who need frequent exercise. The project is an affectionate celebration of electronics, sentiment, memory, and open-eyed exploration." Spotify Apple Music Tidal

2nd synth composition/"tutorial"
For this project, I used two things, the Moog Subharmonicon, and pent up stress. Though both are equally important to this project, I can't and morally will not allow myself to give you a tutorial on stress, and so that leaves me with discussion of the Subharmonicon, or as I will call it, the S-H. The S-H is a funky little synth that prides itself upon being built around subharmonics and polyrhythm. Two concepts that, seemingly unrelated, are kind of the same thing at different speeds at different levels. When a polyrhythm is played fast enough, it registers as a pitch, and different divisions of polyrhythm correspond to different pitch, so the synth does both. What this effectively does is allow the user to change one of the four rhythm dials to divide differently, changing the rhythm to fit their needs. Unconditional, but in practice quite fun to mess with. Additionally, the synth allows the user to put together chords by dividing two sub oscillators from a main oscillator, of which there are two groupings, leading to at maximum, six oscillators. Though the main pitch and intonation can be chosen for the main oscillators, the four sub oscillators merely divide from the main oscillator, mimicking the polyrhythm feature in the sequencer. You see, it all lines up. Additionally, there are some basic functions for a filter, an attack/decay, resonance, cutoff, volume, as well as a patch bay to allow the user to modulate these systems, either in a larger synth setup or on its own. It's a niche synth, but its strengths really do shine in unconventional ways, and I find myself coming back to it more often than my others analog synths. The piece itself takes some advantage of this, staggering the "horns," and dividing their pitches irregularly. It sounds like an impending, slow, booming call of some malevolent entity beyond understanding, which is partially informed by my anxieties. Get therapy, kids, don't be like me. If you ARE like me, find outlets, music is great.

Lukas Bay is back with a new single: “Abigail.”
A romantic electro-pop song with a dreamy and nostalgic core. Lukas Bay is a singer and songwriter with a focus on combining pop, indie, and electronic music to great effect.
His upcoming song, “Abigail,” is a fresh take on pop, indie, and electro-pop. It blends dreamy synths with a nostalgic feel. The production of the track is absolutely top-notch: the song itself was mastered at the famous Abbey Road studios for an amazing finishing touch. The warm tone of the mix adds a dynamic touch to the song, and the drums are spiced up with a gentle saturation effect to add some girth and punch, especially on the snare. The synths carry a hint of old-school flavor. Listeners might think of MGMT or Empire of the Sun, but there is a personal, emotive tone, which adds something quite genuine to Lukas’ work. His layered vocals, in particular, bring a retro charm to the mix, showing the singer’s love for Brit-pop while also keeping electronic influences at the core of his sonic vision for this release.
The chorus sections have crisp electronic hi-hats that cut through the mix, making those sections feel bigger and more exciting overall. At the same time, the lush synth sounds and soft vocal harmonies add a romantic mood that makes this song a quintessential electro-pop ballad with a slight nod to the 80s, especially due to the analog flavor of the synth patches.
The balance between these elements creates a nostalgic backdrop that fits the themes of the track.
The lyrics are passionate and mesmerizing, going for a heartfelt twist that feels immediately east to relate to. Lukas sings about not forgetting shared songs and moments, hoping that love and memories will remain over time. These words offer a reminder that small things can hold great value, and in the end, relationships are made of moments, which we should cherish and treasure, however small they might seem at a first glance.
“Abigail” is ultimately a powerful reminder to remember the music and people that give our lives more meaning.
Find out more about Lukas Bay, and do not miss out on “Abigail.” The song is going to be available on all the best digital streaming services, and it is now possible to pre-save it and support the artist directly by visiting the following link.

Friday, July 5, 2024: After a failed attempt to reconcile repetition and melody atop a breakneck beat, Corduroy Institute successfully records a third instrumental improvisation for Corduroy 75. This unique jam is marked by an insistence that recalls late 20th century minimalist composers to a degree never before seen in our work.
youtube
S.A. Morin once more wielded the Bass VI, itself aided by analog delay. W. Ruiz again played a synth-like patch on the Ensoniq EPS 16 Plus. His two-chord motif of sixteenth notes largely remained constant, but there still were moments of unintended temporal displacement since the new playing style was testing the limits of his timing. The Bass VI at times lost its way as well, though gaps and repetition helped to augment the tension in the performance. Though blemished by the aforementioned faults, this master take was nevertheless deemed to be "a vibe."
Now, it was time to determine whether this new improvisation's propulsive exploration of minimalism could be interwoven with the previous pair of jams as part of our unexpected diversion into xenochrony. A video document of Corduroy Institute's second foray into xenochrony is forthcoming.

Moog Minimoog Voyager is a modern reissue of the classic Minimoog Model D, designed by Bob Moog. It’s a monophonic analog synthesizer known for its warm, fat bass and expressive lead sounds. The Voyager adds MIDI, patch memory, and more modulation options to the vintage design.
Used in:
Daft Punk – "Voyager" (from Discovery, 2001)
While not confirmed, the lead synth lines are likely shaped by Minimoog-style synthesis. Daft Punk often used analog synths like Moog in Discovery.
Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) – "The Hand That Feeds" (from With Teeth, 2005)
The aggressive synth bass and leads often involve Moog gear, especially the Voyager.
Air – "Venus" (from Talkie Walkie, 2004)
The Voyager was used for smooth analog textures and melodic bass.
Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) – Live performances and studio work
He uses the Voyager extensively for solos and layered leads.

Lmaoooo yes I’m a musician and producer and anytime someone brings up whatever special interest character I have atm + music I’m like 👀😮 visibly excited lol
Anyways so for Tech- not only could he pick up any instrument and figure it out, but he’d also be a great recording, mixing, and mastering engineer, and would be o b s e s s e d with synthesis lol. Like not only would he be a great piano player with those fingers (oh god those yummy fingers 😩🤪), he’d have a full rack for on stage with like a nord grand, at least 2 different synths, and probably the biggest pedal board for one of the synths that you could possibly imagine, PLUS a room full of synths at home in his home studio. Modular, semi modular, patch cables fucking EVERYWHERE, you name it. Tech would be a mf GOD at finding the best possible sounds those oscillators could make (lmao Tech would for SURE have a tiny ASDR tattoo on his wrist too lol). He’s also definitely a guy that could use any DAW but prefers Logic Pro (because lets face it, it’s the best DAW all around production wise lmao), and also refuses to buy new MIDI or XLR cables because he’s a fucking whiz at repairing them. He probably also collects every bit of pro audio gear he can find, and at some point you KNOW dawg’s gonna come home with ANOTHER mf interface or analog compressor or some other type of space eating analog gear and Hunter’s gonna lose his gODDAMN mind 💀
Instruments I imagine the Bad Batch would play
(basing this entirely off the instruments that come to mind when I think of each Bad Batch member, no real rhyme or reason to this)
Omega: violin
Hunter: guitar, though I also think he has a really good tenor voice
Tech: we all know he's the kind of person who knows enough about music theory and how each instrument works that he can pick up just about any instrument and play it well; but his favorite to play is the piano (and maybe the organ)
Echo: vocals - I strongly headcanon that he's a fantastic singer, but for some reason I can't stop thinking about him also playing the trumpet
Wrecker: drums, though I also imagine he'd have a ton of fun with the accordion
Crosshair: why, why, WHY do I keep picturing him trying to play the bagpipes??!? (he must be trying to annoy Hunter when he does so...) But when he's serious, he plays the clarinet.
Feel free to share what instruments you think they'd play!!!

Warmed digital feedback, with a beefier end of chain.
Exploring using the spin of Imitor Versio to distribute a sound source (in this case, telharmonic pings) to different effect chains. One is Ikarie, Data Bender, and QPAS; the other is self-patched Erbe-Verb. Everything comes back together via jumble henge, then goes through Milky Way for reverb and Analog Heat for distortion. That unit is going to live between my synth and my field recorder forever.
I love a lot of the sounds here, and the general sound quality. Planning to explore some similar patches.
