"Buy Link: https://natlifesounds.com/product/tra...

Trance Supersaw for Arturia MiniFreak 49/V/37 – is a special Trance soundbank for MiniFreak synthesiser family.

In this bank you will find the most complete library of Trance Supersaws, incredible Trance Plucks, deep atmospheric Pads and, of course, Supersaw Pads.

In it, I tried to convey as best I could the spirit of that era of the late 90s and early 2000s. Of course, in the software version, I won’t hear the character you’ll get with the new Minifreak 49 and its Analog filters.

If you want to get a true Trance machine on your Minifreak, then the Trance Supersaw soundset will be your best choice.

The Trance Supersaw includes 50 presets & patches, which are:

20 Leads
19 Pads
11 Plucks
Compatible with Minifreak hardware and Minifreak V.

First Look at OBNE Iota

video upload by Duskmos

"Today I'm pumped to share in the launch day festivities for the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Iota - a pedal shaped synth with big sound and bigger features. Hang out while I go through the controls and then do a play through and exploration!"

00:00 Intro
02:04 Controls
10:49 Sound Demos
23:50 Thoughts

"Iota is a tone generator, which is to say, a synth for your pedalboard. It is designed to make playing easy: regardless of your skill level or familiarity with synthesizers, you’ll quickly be making fun sounds, and running them through all your favorite effects. Pick the character of your sound, some notes, and some parameters for how Iota moves through those notes, then set it in motion. Music theory? Sound design? Fret not, just have some fun!

Iota has:

Presets

Expression control over every knob

MIDI control over everything in the pedal, including tempo via MIDI clock and root note via MIDI notes

Mono or stereo output

Aux footswitch for manual triggering of notes, tap tempo, or preset switching

Controls include:

A bank of 12 pushbuttons to set your root note, scale intervals, or one of 12 onboard presets

Osc, Noise, Octave and Volume to shape the core sound

Rate, Range, and Direction to control the speed, range, and direction Iota moves through its sequence of notes

Skip and Hold to create random or patterned skips within the sequence

Bend, Glide and Swing to add a bit more interest to the way the notes move

Env Length, Shape, and Mix to set the way each note swells in or out

Scramble to shuffle the notes around"

CROWN — DIY Generative Synth made with Teensy

video upload by PhilStudio

"A 16-minute exploration with CROWN, my homemade Teensy-based generative synthesizer, accompanied by visuals from PHOSPHOR.

🔗 Discover the Crown project: https://philstudio.blog/phil-studio-v...

No talking, no tutorial—just sound, evolving patterns, and a few turns of the knobs.

I built Crown out of a dream to create a musical companion for my guitar jams: something that could suggest ideas, explore different styles, and surprise me with just a handful of controls. Its five Crowns shape different aspects of the music, turning a few simple choices into a wide range of possibilities.

An Arduino Nano handles the knobs, displays, and controls, while a Teensy handles the sequencing, musical logic, and generation of notes and drums. The instrument is still a working prototype, evolving with each experiment.

The visuals come from PHOSPHOR, an audio-reactive app I created specifically for this purpose.

Crown Synth

An experimental generative synthesizer that creates melodies, rhythms and textures for spontaneous musical exploration.

Overview

I created Crown out of a dream to build a musical companion for my guitar jams—something I could switch on, explore, and play along with. I wanted to make creating music feel intuitive, with just a few controls to shape the sound and discover different musical styles without getting lost in menus or endless settings. That idea became the five Crowns: five distinct musical personalities, each offering a different starting point for improvisation. Crown brings fresh ideas and unexpected turns to a jam, leaving me free to pick up my guitar and follow wherever the music leads.

The Build

Crown is built around two microcontrollers: an Arduino Nano handles the user interface—knobs, displays, controls, and parameter selection—while a Teensy handles the sequencing, musical logic, and generation of notes and drums. This lets the Teensy focus on making music while the Nano keeps everything hands-on and accessible. A future Sampler Extension, based on the Tsunami Super WAV Trigger, will expand Crown’s sound palette with sampled instruments, atmospheric layers, and other recorded sounds.

The Philosophy and why Crown?

I think of the five Crowns as the guiding forces behind the music. Each one is an abstract control that shapes a whole set of musical decisions, letting me explore different styles and moods with just a few gestures. The name comes from that idea of influence: each Crown rules over part of the musical world, and together they give it its character. My goal was to make something I could play by feel, letting a few meaningful choices open the door to unexpected music.

Whispers From The Dark | Dark Ambient Soundscape

video upload by The Pedalboard Orchestra

"Whispers From The Dark

A dark ambient soundscape built around the Synthux Academy Touch 2 (Bass Firmware).

A latched arpeggio from Touch 2 is looped in Pattern Keeper and slowed down and pitched down, creating a dark, mysterious drone underneath. The same arpeggio continues at regular speed, shaped in real time with the filter and modulators of Touch 2, creating an undulating melody of ever-changing rhythmic synth sounds.

The stereo signal then passes through Kinotone Ribbons, Chase Bliss Lossy, Alexander Pedals Forget Me Not and Eventide Space.
