Funicular transforms Playdate into a portable real-time audio effects processor.

Connect an external audio source using a standard CTIA headset splitter, then build a chain of three DSP effects to create everything from tape wobble and vinyl coloration to delay, fuzz, filters and bit crushing.

The DSP engine is written entirely in C and processes live audio with low latency. Effects can be freely reordered, presets can be saved and recalled, and the crank provides an intuitive way to adjust parameters.

Features

Real-time audio processing

3-slot effect chain

14 built-in DSP effects

Preset management

Low-latency C DSP engine

Designed for Playdate OS 3.1+

video upload by Somnambule

"'Connect' is an atmospheric ambient session bringing three distinctive electronic instruments into a continuous dialogue: #woas , #chromagene and #polygene.

Floating synthesizer textures, subtle modulation and evolving tones create a spacious, organic soundscape that constantly shifts between delicate harmonics and abstract electronic textures. The Chromagene and Polygene form the sonic core, generating an ever-changing interplay of tone, movement and resonance.

Adding an organic pulse to the piece is the WOAS drum machine, featuring unusual percussion sounds with distinctive Tabla-like characteristics. These earthy, almost acoustic-sounding rhythms merge with the synthetic textures, creating a hypnotic flow between organic percussion and experimental electronic sound.

Rather than following a conventional song structure, “Connect” is an improvised sonic journey — a meeting point between ambient, electronic experimentation and organic rhythm.

Recorded live / no post-production."

Exploring The Genki Instruments Katla A $6K Volcanic Synth With Venus Theory

video upload by sonicstate

"@VenusTheory is one of the lucky people to have their hands on the @genkiinstruments Genki Instruments Katla, the Icelandic volcanic synthesizer priced around $6,000 (yes you did read that right).

As well as parts hewn out of the Icelandic Katla volcano, hence the name - it has five voices with a paraphonic architecture, individual level, waveform and octave controls for each oscillator.

The resonant filter has low pass and band pass modes, self-oscillation and a wave folder. Modulation has some unusual routings, with a 'volcano' (of course) LFO shape and a Skrida control that randomizes envelopes and levels per note.

As well as user presets it has a system which recalls patches per section, effects include reverb, analog drive and tape-style detuning, and recent firmware adds MPE.

We explore it together - and if you want to get a sense of what it can do - we have a set of Custom Decent Samples from Venus Theory for our own Decent Sampler UI available for YouTube Members and Patreon Supporters

And Venus Theory has his own Tephra instrument available here: https://venustheory.gumroad.com/l/vtt..."

Ocean Swift Releases New Expansions for Massive X

"We are thrilled to announce our latest expansions for Native Instruments Massive X. The 'Way Finder', and 'Massive In Psy'.

These expansions elevate the standard “Noisetables” section typically reserved for simple sound effects into a comprehensive, dual-layer melodic sampler. By cleverly embedding large, tuned and continuously looped samples directly into the preset files, we’ve transformed these basic noise modules into highly expressive, tuned oscillators. The result delivers 2 extra layers of deep, complex textures to your Massive X workflow!

The 'Way Finder expansion' takes this concept into deep cinematic and ambient territory with over 100 presets, while the 'Massive In Psy' focuses on trance and psychedelic sounds. Both these expansions can be acquired for 14.99€ each, intro offer until 21 August.

Featuring:
.2 Sound banks: Way Finder (103 Presets), Massive In Psy (90 Presets)
.Over 80 seamlessly looped and tuned samples
.NKS support: including audio preview when hosted in Maschine or Komplete Kontrol.
.Bank and presets organized with tags
.Expressive sound design: Full Aftertouch and Modwheel support"
