This perky little VCA/Envelope combo has found itself to be very useful. It's a VCA with Decay envelope you can feed to a filter which saves a bunch of modules. It has some nice CV control and does a great job of being fabulous without annoying anyone youtu.be/J-brwDPsRLc

No one takes an hour to talk about a MIDI keyboard update quite like I do. Beware of immitations - this is the KeyStep 37 Mk2 review you need (if that's ok with you) youtu.be/JiocaYbk6Oc #arturia #keystep37mk2
Synth East is upon us! Here's the final update - and if you have spare tickets for the Expo or Cabaret Voltaire please let me know! youtu.be/VNXWUc8lrNo

An audio interface with a freakin' filter? I check out the Korg microAUDIO 722. youtu.be/7nnaLiC5QCI #audiointerface #microaudio
What is it about the Oberheim TEO-5? Is it the vintage vibes, the SEM filter, the X-Mod or the pinstripes? Let's see - youtu.be/sPjNWnG6Dkg #synths #oberheim #teo5
Yep, threw together a sort of review thingy for the Faderpunk and how I found it instantly inspirational. I'll do something deeper in time but frankly who can be bothered to wait for all that? youtu.be/q9BVz9vi0RM
The Next Synth Picnic is on the 10th of January in the Honesty Library in the Castle Quarter, Norwich. We should have a Telepathic Instruments Orchid, a AtoV Faderpunk, the TEO-5 and much much more. youtu.be/tIDINwyDbOw #synths #eurorack
To round out the year here's my pick of 2025 and December's highlights of modular, synths and wild music technology. youtu.be/tlpZ6RNI_FE #synths #eurorack #modular

Bishop's Miscellany Mk2 is a dual channel sequence recorder, melody generator, note processor and song-building engine that offers some fabulous real-time controls once you gel with the interface. youtu.be/uSvuNc1ujSw #eurorack
I had a bit of a dive into the Sycamore and persuaded it to make some melodies for me. youtu.be/9m3fKXMy6wc

It's Molten Monthly time again tackling all the most pressing issues and music making gear which we can now afford as my minimum wage has gone up. Be warned, I might talk about AI youtu.be/h86hZU4iF54
Here's the Astrolab 37, a more compact version of the Astrolab 61 and 88 from last year. It's cool in the right place for the right person (probably not you) but I'm really liking it youtu.be/5eJAoRfOS5I #arturia #astrolab37
It's "Best Budget Synth" bun fight time again. Not a lot has changed from last year, in fact many are getting a bit long in the tooth. Tariffs haven't helped, but there's still quality stuff to be had for under $300 youtu.be/v2JQmHxPUt0
Synth Picnics are now booked for the 10th January and 7th of February, and rentals are now available to book from the 13th December. Why not borrow yourself a synth for Christmas? synthpicnic.com/modular-rent...
