AudioPilz is back with another Bad Gear episode, this time taking the Make Noise 0-Coast to the pub for a proper scrap. Is it a Buchla-Moog lovechild or just a synth with identity issues and a font only a mother could love? Expect modular flatulence, cryptic controls, and a healthy dose of irreverence as Florian Pilz puts this so-called influencer must-have through its paces. If you like your synths weird, divisive, and a bit dysfunctional, you’ll want to see how this one fares under AudioPilz’s merciless gaze. Grab a pint, brace yourself, and let’s see if the 0-Coast is a … Read more

Tonepusher’s Ode to Bad Synths: Industrial Mayhem in a Box

JET

Forget your boutique analogs and pristine polysynths—Tonepusher dives headfirst into the glorious mess of ‘bad’ synths that fuel industrial music’s rawest moments. In this gritty breakdown, we get a no-nonsense look at why bands like Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, and Ministry would rather wrangle a misbehaving box of circuits than a posh flagship. Expect tales of blown preamps, dodgy envelopes, and the kind of gear that sounds like it’s survived a pub fight. If you think perfection is overrated, you’re in the right place. Tonepusher’s style is as direct as a boot to the face, and this video’s got … Read more

Josh Lucan’s Leda Transit: Sequenced Dreams and Sonic Nebulae

LUMINA

Step into the magnetic fog of Josh Lucan’s compositional world, where sequencer pulses and vintage synths swirl in a cosmic dance inspired by Tangerine Dream. In “Leda Transit,” Lucan doesn’t just reconstruct the past—he bends time, letting classic algorithms and analog textures bloom into new sonic landscapes. Each note is a drifting ghost, each layer a shifting constellation. This is not a tutorial—it’s an invitation to drift inside the machinery, to witness how simple notes can become galaxies of sound. Prepare for a journey where melody is only the beginning, and modulation is the current that carries us deeper.

Metamyther

Metamyther’s Cosmic Debris Review: Delay Engines in Deep Space

SPARKY

Strap in, patch-heads: Metamyther’s got the WMD Cosmic Debris module on the slab, and this thing’s not here to make polite background ambience. We’re talking 16-tap delays, reverb that’ll melt your face, and a panel so intuitive you could operate it after a warehouse rave. Metamyther’s cinematic-industrial style meets a module that’s equal parts spaceship and sonic street weapon. If you like your effects weird, wild, and ready for battle, this is a video you’ll want to see (and hear) for yourself.

SPARKY

Alex Ball is back in the bunker, this time with Groove Synthesis’s 8M – a desktop wavetable beast that’s more than just a digital cold fish. Forget sterile presets and menu-diving misery: Alex slices through the clichés, showing how wavetables can be warm, wild, and downright essential for modern production. Whether you’re after fuzzy pads, mutant drums, or hooks that slap, this video is a streetwise masterclass in making the 8M earn its keep. If you think wavetables are just for sci-fi bleeps, prepare for a reality check – and maybe a new studio obsession.

George Hearn from UDO himself joins the Andertons crew to show off a synth that’s as much about chaos and happy accidents as it is about lush stereo fields and tactile control. If you think you’ve heard it all from the Super Series, think again—this one’s got new tricks, gnarlier tones, and play modes that’ll have you questioning reality. Ready for a synth that fights back?
