Carousel: Five-Voice Round-Robin Polyphonic Synthesizer (VST3 / AU)

video upload by Laboratory 0

"Carousel is a five-voice round-robin polyphonic synthesizer built around a simple idea: a circle. Its five voices sit like seats on a carousel, and every note you play is assigned to a different one - in sequence, random, or all at once.

Each voice is a complete synth with its own oscillator, filter, and envelopes. Differences in tuning and timbre drift across the stereo field, creating a sound that is organic and quietly imperfect - like an old carousel left in the sun.

Carousel is designed to be simple. No LFOs, no presets, no complex synthesis - just pure play. A childhood that exists only in memory.

"As many of you know, at Superbooth 2026 we had the incredible opportunity to meet Dina Pearlman—daughter of Alan R. Pearlman and founder of the ARP Foundation.

We took this special occasion to ask her a few questions about ARP, the foundation, and the legacy of these legendary instruments. Dina is an amazing human being and was so warm and welcoming to us. We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did!

Echolocator: How to patch generative darkness

video upload by Richard DeHove

"The recent 1.04 firmware update with the new frequency shifter has made creating genertive soundtrack-style material reasonably straightforward. In short you put the delay into feedback, dial in some delay time fluctuations via the modulation controls and orbit, adjust the frequency shifter pitch to taste, then let it run.

It helps of course to have a little more processing downstream which is where the Zen delay comes in (it's even on the noisy and hated 'vintage' mode). But for a very close and dry feel the Echolocator by itself can still do a good job. Interesting and sometimes wild things also happen around the "0" value of the pitch shift knob.

For extended twiddlings it's all about modifying the root pitch. There's lots of places this can happen: the frequency shifter and delay time, and likewise delay time on the Zen. Then there's all the little flavorings which comes from the filters, feedback amount, modulation amount, reverb and Zen drive. Plenty of things to tweak if you prefer to ride the controls rather than let it run.

Warning: There are some big pitch variations here including sub-bass.

Ethereal ambient calm | live looping with the Stylosette Keys

video upload by vekoni and Stylophone

"Relax with this soothing, calming ambient track. Live performed simple looping with the almighty Loopy Pro and a bunch of beautiful effects.

Disclaimer: Stylophone sent this product free of charge; I wasn’t paid, and they had no input on the content.

I loved the Stylosette immediately after trying it. It looks like a toy, but the sound is fantastic, and the octave shift and adjustable vibrato makes it more capable than I thought it would be (I didn't even try the built in delay this time, but it also sounds great and can do self-oscillating madness as well).

Most people use the Stylosette through fruits, and other food like sushi and cheese (genius haha), which I might try next time, but I only wanted something simple and conductive for the octave key to play the high-pitched melody after the base loops were layered... so I used a Japanese knife. Mostly because it looks great and sits stable on the table (cutting edge idea...).

Now the usual geeky stuff:

Signal chain:
→ Stylophone Stylosette Keys through a TRS to RCA cable and a stereo to mono adapter
→ IK Multimedia iRig USB
→ iPhone with Loopy Pro as host

SPACE CRAFT: Event Set for Perseid Meteor Shower with Tangerine Dream, Steve Roach, & More

This one is in via Adam G

via https://www.spacecraftjoshuatree.com/home:

Experience the Perseid Meteor Shower

Tangerine Dream, ESG, Laraaji, Steve Roach + more

Every August, the Perseid Meteor Shower draws stargazers from around the world to witness one of nature's most spectacular annual displays.

This year is especially remarkable.

And via the Pioneer Town Gazette:

SPACE CRAFT brings two generations of experimental electronic music to Pappy & Harriet’s Outdoor Stage on Saturday, August 15. Evicshen, Victoria Shen’s performance project, opens at 6:30 p.m. with a 45-minute set of experimental sound and electronics. Tangerine Dream takes the stage at 7:45 p.m. for a two-hour set. Founded by Edgar Froese in 1967, Tangerine Dream brings nearly six decades of electronic-music history to the desert. Saturday’s sequence places Victoria Shen’s contemporary performance project alongside one of the genre’s longest-running groups, then gives the headliner two full hours. Tickets start at $110 and rise to $265 by tier. The festival is all ages, every attendee needs a ticket, and guests under 18 must attend with an adult. The peak of the Perseids coincides with the new moon, creating exceptionally dark skies and ideal viewing conditions that only occur every few years.

But there's another reason: truly dark skies are disappearing — light pollution and the rapidly growing number of satellites in orbit are forever changing how we experience stars.

ako - Home3D (four track tape version) - recording w/ a Yamaha MT-50 tape recorder, DX21 & RX5

video upload by ako

"Here's a video of the recording of the A-side for my new single (links to all formats below). It was was recorded on an Yamaha MT-50 four track tape recorder (a solidly underrated recorder, with an advantage over various more popular Portastudio models in that you can record on all 4 tracks simultaneously, rather than just 2 at once) with a Yamaha DX21 (bass, chords and FX), Novation Ultranova (additional chord layers) and Yamaha RX5 (drums). Synchronisation between tape (which had the chord layers bounced down to 2 tracks to free up tracks) and MIDI used to sequence the bass and drums was achieved using a Yamaha YMC10 MIDI clock to tape-synch converter (solid little converter). Reverb was provided by an Alesis MIDIverb II (an FX unit that needs no introduction) and chorus for the bass via a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus - my favourite chorus, to me it just sounds how chorus should sound (this particular one is a vintage ‘made in Japan’ model, so fully analogue compared to later digital CH-1 models, and just sounds super warm). It was mixed on MT-50 but also with a venerable Peavey Unity Series 2000-16 (for submixes and sends etc.), this mixer has a flavour all of it’s own, certainly not high fidelity, but kinda gritty and warm and just kinda ‘Peavey’… The track is out now for stream and download, hope you folks dig the track 🙂

ako - Home3D (four track tape version) [vaporwave / synthfunk / utopian virtual]

video upload by ako

"Taken from my new single - previously unreleased versions of ‘Home3D’ and ‘Basic Microwaving’ recorded on four track tape (FFO: Eyeliner, FM Skyline, Rustie). Out now on Spotify, BandCamp, YouTube and all other digital platforms, all formats here: https://linktr.ee/simeonsoden

This track (the A-side) was recorded on an Yamaha MT-50 four track with DX21 (bass, chords and FX), RX5 (drums) and some bits and pieces from a Novation Ultranova.

I made the video by retexturing the classic win95-98 '3D Maze.scr' screen saver with archetypal win98 desktop wallpapers to create the sensation of the desktop opening as a portal to virtual worlds beyond. Re-filmed from various CRTs and projectors. Hope you folks enjoy :)"
