Concorde - Prophet 12 Elegy from a Parallel Future (Giscardpunk)


video upload by Mamotreco

"G‑BOAF—the last Concorde built for British Airways—stands at Bristol, beside the ghosts of Filton's runway. A white delta of pure supersonic ambition, unchanged and untamed. Elsewhere in the same era, TGVs sliced through the French countryside and Minitel screens glowed in every home—parallel dreams of an ambitious and uncompromising state‑driven future. This aircraft is a monument to the momentum of the Giscard and pre-Maastricht Mitterrand eras."

8/5/26 Metasonix D-2000 & R-57 + Zerosum Inertia Horripilation & TVM23 + MFB SEQ-1 & LFO & ADSR (…)


video upload by Cfpp0

"This rancid beat is starring Zerosum Inertia’s Horripilation module and the S&H from the MFB dual LFO module. The Metasonix D-2000 is being triggered by the MFB SEQ-1, clocked by ALM Pamela’s New Workout. The D-2000 1/4” output is converted to 3.5mm and multiplied by the Doepfer A181 with one copy going to the Metasonix R-57 and the other copy going to the Zerosum Inertia Horripilation into the TVM23 VCA. Both the TVM23 and the R-57 are being modulated by the MFB dual ADSR. The Horripilation filter CV is modulated by the MFB dual LFO triangle output, while the S&H output is modulating the CV on the D-2000 Drum 2, and the left CV input on Horripilation. There are two Alesis MIDIVERB II units. One is set to preset 05 and the other is set to preset 40."

Playlist:

1. OktaDie, plugins and iOS app inspired by LYRA-8 ....Coming soon! #synth #sounddesign
"Eight touch-sensitive voices, a cross-modulation matrix, a dual modulated delay and an overdrive — no keyboard, no scale, no quantization anywhere.
It drifts on its own and never makes the same sound twice.

The plugin will be available on Mac, Windows and iPad.
VST3 / AU / AAX / AUv3, instrument and FX.

Coming Soon on! https://www.diegocapoccitti.it"
2. SwarmaDie 2 — Swarmatron (Unofficial) Emulator Plugin | Overview & Demo (VST3 / AU / AAX)
SwarmaDie 2 is an unofficial emulator of the legendary Swarmatron analog synthesizer, available as a VST3, AU, and AAX plugin for Mac and Windows. The Swarmatron is iconic for its hypnotic, swarming sound — multiple oscillators slightly detuned against each other, creating that signature ethereal drone. Made famous by artists like Jonny Greenwood, it's a rare and expensive hardware piece. SwarmaDie 2 brings that unique character straight into your DAW at an affordable price. MUSIC: "Hollow Light — Piano & Swarmatron (SwarmaDie 2 Demo)" (Diego Capoccitti - 2026)
3. SwarmaDie 2 iOS — Raw Screen & Audio Capture on iPad (Swarm Synth Jam)

4. JenDie — The JEN SX-1000 Reborn on iPad | Analog Synth Plugin Test
JenDie is an analog synthesizer inspired by the legendary JEN SX-1000 — the iconic Italian mono synth of the late '70s — faithfully recreated with its warm, gritty and unmistakable vintage character.

In this video you can see JenDie running on iPad, tested in standalone (also AUv3 plugin available!), showing how easy it is to bring that classic analog tone into a modern mobile setup. Plug in, play, and enjoy pure vintage synth vibes — anywhere.

🎛️ ABOUT THE PLUGIN
JenDie captures the soul of the JEN SX-1000: rich oscillators, a characterful filter and that raw, organic analog warmth that made the original a cult classic. Perfect for basslines, leads, retro sequences and anyone chasing that authentic vintage synth sound.
5. AlchemDie — Make Noise Strega (Unofficial) Emulator | Overview & Demo (VST3 / AU / AAX)
AlchemDie is an unofficial emulator of the "alchemical" Make Noise Strega, available as a VST3, AU, and AAX plugin for Mac and Windows.

Inspired by the mysterious and esoteric hardware designed by Make Noise in collaboration with Alessandro Cortini, AlchemDie is more than a synthesizer: it’s a laboratory for sonic experimentation. It transforms a simple digital oscillator into an unpredictable, evolving sound machine by routing its output through a feedback delay experiment that blurs the line between synthesis, processing, and noise.

From haunting drones to screeching feedback and organic textures, AlchemDie brings that unique "strega" soul straight into your DAW at an affordable price.

MUSIC: "Nigredo (AlchemDie Demo)" (Diego Capoccitti - 2026)

⚙️ KEY FEATURES:

Tonic Oscillator: Includes a sub-harmonic generator and continuous waveform morphing.
Vactrol-style Activation: VCA with asymmetric slew response for organic, acoustic-like behavior.
Time/Filter Loop: BBD-style delay emulation with dynamic lowpass and feedback.
Agitation Function: Generator with continuous trapezoid modulation to stir the sound.
Gesture Pads: Six momentary pads for multi-parameter macro control and performance.
External Substance: Input for processing external audio through the alchemical engine.
Character Section: Analog-style tape companding and stereo width controls.
6. DroneDie — Grendel Drone Commander Classic (Unofficial) Emulator | Overview & Demo (VST3 / AU / AAX)
DroneDie is an unofficial emulator of the legendary Grendel Drone Commander Classic, available as a VST3, AU, and AAX plugin for Mac and Windows.

The Grendel Drone Commander Classic is a cult hardware drone synthesizer, beloved in experimental, industrial, and noise music for its raw, abrasive, hypnotic character — a machine that turns simple oscillators into visceral sonic textures. Rare, quirky, and deeply expressive, it occupies a unique niche that no conventional synth can fill.

DroneDie brings that savage analog soul straight into your DAW at an affordable price.

MUSIC: "Axiom (DroneDie Demo)" (Diego Capoccitti - 2026)


⚙️ KEY FEATURES:

Inspired by the original hardware's raw oscillator behavior and gritty drone character
Simple, intuitive interface optimized for modern DAWs
7. DroneDie for iOS: Unedited RAW Live Demo & Jam in iPad (AUv3)

Wavemaker 4 Vintage Synthesizer For Sale or Trade Meticulously Refurbished


video upload by tonetweakers

"Here’s a video of one of the two rare Wavemaker 4 vintage analog modular synthesizers we have been refurbishing. Let us know in the comments if youd like us to post some more videos. These restorations have been very challenging due to the lack of schematics and technical documentation. So far, we have spent over 200 hours on the pair. One appears to be working exactly as it should, but the second isn’t quite done. Once it is, we may consider selling or trading one of them. We would like to connect with others who own Wavemakers and KB Electronic Music Instrumentation devices and are interested in purchasing other instruments and documentation - please get in touch via our website.

video upload by LFOstore

"'Dreams' is a captivating collection of 50 exclusive presets for the Synapse Audio Dune 3, crafted to transport you into a realm of ethereal beauty and cinematic wonder! This soundset is created by a renowned sound designer, Otto K. Schwarz, who has been working for years with leading companies - synth producers.

'Dreams' offers a complete toolkit for ambient, cinematic, meditation, and Berlin School-inspired productions. Sequences form the beating heart of this collection — slow, evolving, and hypnotic. These are not aggressive, driving patterns, but contemplative, textured journeys that unfold with grace. Combined with atmospheres, bells, leads, plucks, and arpeggios, this soundset may become a wonderful tool for your next production.

This soundset is a gateway to fantastical worlds — where presets are assigned with velocity, modulation wheel, expression and aftertouch. Gentle ARPs shimmer like starlight, deep sequences pulse with meditative rhythm, and lush pads breathe with the warmth of distant horizons. Every preset is designed to evoke the feeling of a lucid dream: serene, expansive, and filled with emotional depth!
