"Erica Synths Razornator is the 4th 112dB collaboration FX unit and it's a resonator like no other. In this hands-on walkthrough I build an entire track (strings, dubby stabs and thunderous bass) from nothing but short pulses of noise fed into its Karplus-Strong like resonators. If you want to know what the Razornator actually sounds like before you buy, this deep-dive demo is for you.
The Razornator packs 10 resonators (five stereo pairs), a resonant low-pass filter, +24dB of input gain, a built-in compressor and an envelope follower — all fully MIDI controllable. Originally a 1983 Karplus & Strong algorithm for plucked-string and percussive tones, Erica Synths and 112dB have turned it into a wildly flexible tone-generation and sound-mangling machine. I run through the signal path, the root/offset tuning, the gorgeous presets by Eraldo Bernocchi, and push it hard with synths, hi-hats and kicks. Resonator, but not as we know it."

"A unique stereo FX unit with an algorithm developed by Dutch company 112dB, the Razornator features 5 chromatically tuned resonating delay lines that can emulate the resonance of physical objects - bodies of instruments, rooms, structures. Chromatic tuning of the resonating delay lines makes the effect particularly musical, because it allows for aligning them in chord-like intervals, while the built-in envelope follower adds dynamics to the processed signal. Featuring 12 parameters for detailed sound design, save/recall functions for all parameters, MIDI control over all parameters and a sleek aluminium case to match our lineup of compact desktop units, the Razornator will let your setup take flight in any live show, studio or sonic experiment.
The Razornator combines several well considered and tuned “modules” for stereo audio processing with the aim of altering the harmonic content of the incoming signal. The signal path starts with an audio GAIN STAGE that boosts signals up to +24dB (it can effectively act as an analogue overdrive), then the signal is fed through the lowpass FILTER with a RESONANCE control and after filter treatment it passes through five chromatically tuned DELAY-BASED RESONATORS that can be manually tuned or controlled by the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER. After the resonators, the signal is summed and limited by the COMPRESSOR, then mixed with the dry signal and passed through the EQUALIZER and finally is sent to BALANCED OUTPUT stage.

"The trusty Prophet 08. I've had this synth a long time. It's not super inspiring right out of the box but as you learn it more deeply, it's a lot of fun, really inspiring and sounds awesome. Especially once you learn the sequencer and how much you can do with it creatively. The LFO's and assignable envelope are also very cool. It has a lot of ways to modify your sound. Fun Stuff.

"What happens when you plug the Telepathic Orchid into Splice INSTRUMENT and let it run? In this Plugged In Splice's Devon Johnson @dontgodcj finds out — and the results speak for themselves.
The Telepathic Orchid, co-created by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, is a chord-generating synthesizer designed to help producers and songwriters find musical ideas fast — without needing deep music theory knowledge or traditional keyboard technique. Paired with Splice INSTRUMENT, it becomes something even more powerful: a way to explore sounds and progressions at the same time, in the same session.
In this video, Devon unboxes and demos the Telepathic Orchid and its various creative uses and incredibly chord generating technology. He then uses the Orchid's chord logic system as a MIDI controller to trigger sounds inside Splice INSTRUMENT, building a full beat from scratch and showing exactly how the two tools work together in a real production workflow. From dialing in chord voicings and inversions on the Orchid to flipping through Splice's instrument sounds in real time, this is hands-on and unfiltered — no templates, no pre-built loops, just the tools doing what they're built to do.
Whether you're already a Splice user curious about the Orchid, an Orchid owner wondering how to integrate it into your DAW setup, or just a producer looking for a new way to create new chord patterns — this one's worth watching all the way through.

Thank you for watching. My name is Meska of the statik collective . I've been making mostly 'dark and expérimental' music for more than ten years now, i'v learn so much online, now it's time for me to share my knoledge, my exploration and this channel is a place to talk about the tools, sound design and techniques to make music with. You can stream my albums and EPs at https://statikwave.bandcamp.com/. If you'd like to support the channel consider buying music from bandcamp ;) Contact/booking: meskastatik@gmail.com"
"Great to catch up with Nick Monk who was showing the Monk Project again after its success at the London Synth & Pedal Expo.What sets this sequencer apart is its combination of 16 customizable channels and a unique theory engine. While it features traditional step sequencing it also incorporates a wide range of generative models using its music theory engine to ensure musical coherence. This allows you to control melody outputs, toggle randomness, or block non-conforming notes.
The sequencer includes a phraser using Markov chains for recording and manipulating musical phrases and a new feature Nick calls HI (Human Intelligence). HI enables the machine to learn and create statistical tables based on your playing style. Nick elaborated that these features are on top of its basic step-sequencing capability.
Aimed for niche and professional composers, prospective uses span from simple MIDI creations to algorithmic music generation. The sequencer is aimed for production with pre-orders starting after summer, requiring a minimum of 20 orders to initiate a prototype run. CV and gate connectivity is also planned and in the works."
"@matthsmatthsmatths takes a look at the @EricaSynths Erica Synths Bullfrog Drums - sample based drum machine with decent sequencing options and performance based sound parameters. Was quite the hit of Superbooth this year.
Bullfrog Drums is a simple to use, dynamic drum machine , with a ton of performative features to make the beat live and breath. Up to 64 steps, parameter recording/locking plus voice control.
Available now, priced at around £589/$779
Also featured is the Resonant Filterbank, which we first saw last year, its now in production and is a clever 10 band, bandpass stereo resonant filterbank with drive, modulation and dynamic EQ mode.
With up to +24dB of gain, you can really push it to extremes, or use it for more subtle, tool type functions.
Capable of some great sound mangling and for hands on or preset based processing, its available this month (19th June 2026) priced at £675/$859
"In this SonicLAB, we look into the @udo_audio UDO Audio DMNO, an 8-voice polyphonic binaural analog hybrid synthesizer with dynamic signal architecture.
The DMNO is sonically different from the Super Series, featuring a grittier, more aggressive sound.
With dual synth engines, though each DMNO integrates the familiar Super DDS oscillators and custom wavetables and both support both stereo and binaural modes.
With 8 voices total, when running two DMNOs in Binaural mode, in split or layer, that will reduce the voice count to 2.
The oscillators can cross mod and route with plenty of audio rate modulation , the LFO 1 also can run tracked and in Audio Rate mode too.
There's lots of configuration, routing and drive with the stereo analog filter, these have multiple modes, stereo, parallel and series routings with Frequency delta between each 'side' of the filters for some lovely formant and vowel like articulations.
Mod matrix has 7 slots plus two fixed routings for wheel and envelope velocity - perhaps the selection of source and destinations could be increased if the FPGA pathways allow for it, and it would be nice to see FX parameters as a destination at some point.
With EQ, Chorus and Drive per DMNO and a shared Delay/Reverb on send, there's some decent additional sound sculpting to be had.
Priced at £2,599, this synth gives an alternative to the other synths in the UDO range"
"Spent the afternoon sampling the excellent UDO Audio DMNO - our review is now online.
The result is 10 DMNO Samples as multi-samples instruments for our custom Decent Sampler instrument with our custom UI from @VenusTheory . Some sampled from custom patches during he review, and some of the presets already on board.
