Tobinski Harmonic Timing Generator / Interpolating Scanner

video upload by Stromkult

"Quick overview, over the Interpolating Scanner and Harmonic Timing Generator by Tobinski!

As a reference clock generator, the Harmonic Timing Generator produces a base frequency with analogue multipliers (x1 to x8) to generate complex timing signals. It features three manual or voltage-controlled frequency selectors, falling sawtooth outputs, and an LFO mode for low-frequency clocking.

The 8-Channel Interpolating Scanner combines an 8-channel interpolating scanner with an array of 8 independent VCAs. It allows you to smoothly blend between up to 8 stages using either bipolar CV or manual control. The 8 inputs feed both the scanner and VCAs simultaneously, and 8 switchable sliders can control input levels to the scanner, the VCAs, or both.

Both modules seamlessly integrate via an internal ribbon cable. The scanner inputs automatically link to the Harmonic Timing Generator outputs via sine shaping circuitry. When used together, the sawtooth outputs of the generator are transformed into sine waves, enabling the two modules to function as a sinewave harmonic oscillator.

Deep Forest Ambience: Dawless Jam with Novation Circuit Tracks

video upload by Live Synth

"Music born in the silence of the forest. 🌲 In this video, I headed into the wild to record a live set on the Novation Circuit Tracks. Pure dawless: just the synth, inspiration, and the sounds of nature. No plugins or post-processing—just the raw sound captured on the Zoom H1 Essential. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere with me.

SILT - A Generative Tape-Loop Instrument by Tunary Instruments

SILT is a new instrument from Tunary Instruments who brought us ARGISH.

It's available online and as an AU/VST3/Standalone (Mac) + VST3/Standalone (Windows).

Details from the creator follow:

"I've just put out the second Tunary instrument, and it's the opposite animal: SILT, a generative tape-loop instrument.

Four short melodic loops of different lengths run through a warm tape machine and slowly drift out of phase, so the music writes itself from the drift — soft music-box tones, smeared by wow, dust and age, over field recordings of birds, stream and vinyl. Press play and it settles into gentle, ever-shifting ambient that never quite repeats. It's the Reich/Basinski tape-loop idea, turned into an instrument you just leave running.

Like everything we make, the sound engine is algorithmic — real synthesis and DSP, no AI, no trained models, no 'generate' button. You steer the mood; it does the drifting."

Consonant Dissonance by John C.S. Keston

"Consonant Dissonance is a series of piano improvisations that examine how human expression in piano performance can be emphasized or contrasted by feeding the signals into a bespoke modular synthesizer designed to sample and reprocess the piano in real-time. For each piece the piano signals are handled in different ways. These include granular synthesis, looping, pitch shifting, reverse, analog filtering, delay, and reverberation, all modulated via a function generator, low frequency oscillators, and a sampling touch controller operated by the performer.

Recorded at The University of St Thomas, Schoenecker Center, Audio Studio on a Kawai RX-3 grand piano. Composed, performed, and produced by John C.S. Keston. Gratitude goes out to Alejandro Vega for engineering assistance, and Adam Krinsky for mixing and mastering consultation.

John C.S. Keston is an award winning transdisciplinary artist reimagining how music, video art, and computer science intersect. His work both questions and embraces his backgrounds in music technology, software development, and improvisation leading him toward unconventional compositions that convey a spirit of discovery and exploration through the use of graphic scores, chance and generative techniques, analog and digital synthesis, experimental sound design, signal processing, and acoustic piano. Performers are empowered to use their phonomnesis, or sonic imaginations, while contributing to his collaborative work. Keston founded the sound design resource, AudioCookbook.org, where you will find articles and documentation about his projects and research."

Drop-In Studio Tour: Bristol Old City Studio

video upload by sonicstate

Some Polymoog Synthesizer playing towards the end in this one.

"It's been a while since we did a 'drop-in' video, but we bumped into our EMOM sound engineer Silas Blackburn who mentioned he'd moved to a new studio space in nearby Bristol - so we dropped by to the Bristol Old City Studio to check it out.
And found a beautiful old PolyMoog too, as well as a bunch of other delicious gear.
Hope you enjoy the tour.

Vermona drumDING Workshop at SchneidersLaden

video upload by SchneidersLaden

"On March 26th we had Vermona in the showroom for a deep dive into one of the standout instruments of SUPERBOOTH25: drumDING.

Blending analog drum synthesis with sampling and sequencing, drumDING opens up a fluid, hands-on workflow where sounds can be created, captured, and reshaped on the fly. With features like parameter locks, polymetrics and performative controls, it’s built for spontaneous groove building and evolving rhythmic structures.

In this workshop, Thomas walks you through the concept, demonstrates the workflow, and shows how quickly ideas can turn into fully formed patterns."
