Ableton Datashifter Max for Live Device

https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

"Most glitch processors treat rhythm as something to destroy. Datashifter takes a more controlled approach. It breaks the surface of percussion while preserving the force underneath.

Designed as an Ableton Max for Live device, Datashifter captures short fragments of incoming stereo audio into an internal memory system, then reads those fragments back through multiple voices. These voices can stutter, reverse, jump to earlier moments, or shift playback speed in octave based steps.

The result is not a simple repeat effect. It feels closer to a live editing system for drum time. The groove continues to move forward, while small pieces of its memory are rearranged, folded, interrupted, and returned to the beat.

pikocore v2 firmware

video upload by infinitedigits

"pikocore has a brand new firmware that will work on all pikocore devices or pikocore remixes.

the firmware has two major changes:

1) total revamp of the "stretch" to an amazing sounding grain-based timestretch and

2) a sample manager that works over usb in the browser! no need to reflash firmwares when changing samples.

simply connect to a website (https://pikocore.com), and add/delete/rearrange your audio files in the browser (chrome works best). additionally if you are using the ittybittymidi just click a checkbox on the sample manager.

diy kits still available at https://shop.infinitedigits.co/

He made an entire album with one synth

video upload by Julian "J3PO" Pollack

"In this video, I share the story behind A Brief Odyssey: an ambient synth album I created entirely with a single synthesizer: the Sequential FOURM.

What started as a simple experiment in creative limitation quickly became one of the most rewarding musical projects I’ve ever completed. By removing almost every option from my studio and focusing on one instrument, I found myself working faster, trusting my instincts more, and spending less time chasing ideas and more time actually making music.

Along the way, I discuss the creative process, sound design, poly aftertouch, improvisation, ambient music production, and why limitations can sometimes be the key to unlocking creativity. I also demonstrate several of the patches used throughout the album, many of which became factory presets on the FOURM itself.

Open Serenity | Ambient Session with Sequential Fourm, Shallow Water & Hive 2 (Soft Pulse 11)

video upload by Haiko Senchan

"For this track, I ran the Sequential Fourm through the Fairfield Shallow Waters pedal and recorded a sounds, sounds, sounds. I added effects in Ableton, and slowly this soundscape emerged, feeling warm and dense yet somehow open. In the video, I played a key/lead sound live, and you can see and hear the result. I hope you like the track as much as I do.

The rain of yesterday | Sequential Prophet 10 and Virus TI soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"For the first time in what feels like a very long time - I've felt some hope. Received some good news that provides at least some stability in my job. And to celebrate (a little), I finally, after 10 years, updated my camera from the Canon 5D mkii to the R6 mkii and wanted to test it out. I doubt it's any better from a YouTube perspective... my 5D2 always did work alright, but it's nice to finally have something a little more up to date.

NI RAUM for reverb
