Note although the sale is focused on "Creative Guitar Processing" their effects can of course be applied to synths.
"This week we’re obsessed with guitar, which might be one of the most popular, most versatile, and most important instruments in contemporary music. Over the decades, guitars have shaped a multitude of hits, transcended genres, and become distinctive sounds within popular music.
We’ve been deep in the studio exploring effects, playing with presets, and trying different mixing techniques on all types of guitars. Check out the links below to find some inspiration on how to transform electric guitar, pedal steel, or lap steel tracks into something sonically succulent and explore limitless possibilities of creative guitar sounds using Soundtoys."
"For this week’s video I tried using the Mutable Instruments Beads as the only sound source, with nothing plugged in Beads becomes a wavetable synth, which I then modulated and fed into the @instruo Lubadh, before manipulating those recordings and feeding them back into Beads and Monsoon by Big T Music, as well as my trusty @MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Mimeophon delay. This resulted in a pretty interesting ambient patch I think, with some nice use of the time control on the Lubadh, and that lovely reverb-rich granulation of Beads and Monsoon, what do you think? Anyway sit back and enjoy! MM.
Patch Notes:
Voice: Mutable Beads, Instruo Lubadh
Modulation: ALM Pam’s, @DivKid Ochd
Audio FX & Processing: Instruo Lubadh, Mutable Beads & the Big T Music Monsoon"
"I had this chord progression in my head all week, so now I've finally had the time to lay it down on the Rhodes and add other stuff on top. I hope you like it!"

"The Moog Model 15 is a remarkable reissue of Moog's vintage touring synthesizer, with only 150 of these Limited Edition models available globally. This modular synth has been precisely reconstructed from the integrated vinyl-covered travel case to the hand-soldered components. It presents a unique opportunity for contemporary composers and performers to explore the rudiments of subtractive synthesis in a vintage format.
The Model 15 comes equipped with 14 finely-crafted modules, among which are three oscillators and the 907A Fixed Filter Bank. This latter module is particularly noteworthy for its massive sound-shaping capabilities, providing unique synth effects. The Model 15 Limited edition reissue offers boundless potential for sound design, with three Moog oscillator modules that support oscillator sync, two envelope generators, two voltage-controlled amplifiers, and a noise generator module with pink and white noise outputs. It also includes the 995 Attenuator module for creative gain control of audio signals and control signals.
The 907A Fixed Filter Bank module is a distinctive feature of the Model 15, enabling you to segment your tone into distinct frequency bands. It boasts eight fixed filters, in addition to lowpass and highpass filters, each with its level control. This enables real-time manipulation of knobs to generate evolving, atmospheric soundscapes, or layer the filter bank over a base oscillator to emphasise specific timbres. This versatile synth module offers endless creative possibilities.
The Model 15 synthesiser has been meticulously constructed to the same exacting specifications as of the original 1973. Moog engineers spent over three years scrutinising the original documentation and rediscovering circuit board and art for every module. The limited run, coupled with Moog's dedication to authenticity, ensures each component has been hand-soldered using traditional wiring methods. Furthermore, the photo-etched aluminium panels and vintage-style cabinetry provide the perfect finishing touches to this faithful reissue. Includes all original cables, incredibly detailed hard cover manual & lid for tolex-cased enclosure. In excellent condition."
"My private collection of sweet sounds dedicated to Sequential OB-6 (Bass, Brass, Chords, Lead, Keys, Organ, Pad, Pluck, Sound FX, Strings). I've always loved warm and saturated sounds. Sequential OB-6 allows you to achieve many sweet and inspiring sounds. With this soundset, you can take your instrument to the next level. Check out my soundset: https://bit.ly/ob-6sweet"
"One of the reasons why I own the OB-6, it simply sounds right.
I usually use the pitch wheel in 2 semi-tones, but I've started practicing with it at 7 and 12 (octave), it's interesting because you can create some sliding pads like the one I'm playing here."
I can't shred on guitar, so I bought a synthesizer lol

Mercury-6 is a meticulous recreation of the Jupiter-6 analog synthesizer, just in time for its 40th anniversary! Sandwiched between the earlier Jupiter-4 and Jupiter-8 models in name only, the sophisticated Jupiter-6 has sometimes been considered a sleeper release. These days, it has persevered to become one of Roland's most notable and coveted classic synthesizers due to its distinctive dark and complex character. Mercury-6 captures all that is exceptional in this treasured polyphonic classic, boosts its extraordinary feature set for today's DAW production and workflow, and celebrates the ground-breaking innovation from the era that changed music forever.
If you've long yearned to explore the Jupiter-6, you'll love Mercury-6!
The Year Everything Changed
Released in 1983 as a more affordable alternative to the flagship eight-voice Jupiter-8, the six-voice Jupiter-6 nevertheless staked out an essential position in the history of analog polysynths. Though similar in appearance and feature set, the Jupiter-6 stood apart from the Jupiter-8 in its sound and capabilities. Unlike earlier Roland polysynths with lowpass filters plus a rudimentary non-resonant highpass filter, the Jupiter-6 featured a true multimode filter with 24 dB/oct lowpass, 24 dB/oct highpass, or 12 dB/oct bandpass modes. This versatile filter design lent a more aggressive sound than previous Jupiters, making the Jupiter-6 a natural for cutting-edge techno and electro styles.
Though something of a "hidden feature," the Jupiter-6 VCOs supported multiple simultaneous waveforms, and its two LFOs and oscillator cross mod capabilities provided extensive modulation possibilities. Its earthshaking solo and poly unison modes enabled massive lead and bass sounds, and it was notably one of the first synthesizers to include the then-new MIDI protocol.
Although often praised for its harmonic complexity and ability to cut through a mix, the cost-cutting in the Jupiter-6 design resulted in some disadvantages. Output was mono only and it was limited to six-voice polyphony. The Jupiter-6 had an impressive (for the time) split keyboard and patch preset storage functionality, but this six-voice maximum hampered its potential. And though it was considerably less expensive than the Jupiter-8, its timing was ill-fated when the digital revolution was ignited by the release of Yamaha's revolutionary DX-7 FM digital synth the same year.
Despite its noteworthy character, the Jupiter-6 is not one of those synths immediately identified with recognizable sounds from hit songs. Nevertheless, it was the Jupiter-6 behind the bass line of Ray Parker Jr.'s classic "Ghostbusters," and it found purchase in the work of Human League, Tangerine Dream, Thomas Dolby, Trans-X, Vangelis, and Devo. In a testament to its staying power over the decades, its popularity grew in genres such as big beat, house, and techno through The Chemical Brothers, Moby, and The Crystal Method. Electronic music duo Orbital has been a vocal proponent of the Jupiter-6 and, more recently, it has been a significant part of the sound of Daft Punk and Junkie XL.
Mercury-6: 40 Years in the Making
Cherry Audio's Mercury-6 brings the Jupiter-6 experience into the future and celebrates the invaluable contribution that MIDI itself has made to the music community over the past 40 years. Mercury-6 captures all that is exceptional in this classic and boosts the extraordinary feature set and functionality for today's DAW production and workflow. We've added velocity sensitivity, improved the split mode, and added a layer mode capable of stacking two different sounds simultaneously with per-layer stereo panning, detuning, and sustain. A panel control lets users easily select and navigate between these layers and includes a utility function for exchanging settings between the lower and upper layers, or even between presets. And with polyphony extended to 16 notes, Mercury-6 won't easily run out of voices.
We've reproduced the arpeggiator, including the hidden Down/Up mode of the original, and augmented it by adding a Random mode and MIDI tempo sync. A chord memory mode enables multiple notes to be stored and played back with a single key. We've improved the functionality of the LFOs with a retrigger for LFO-1 and an always-on option for LFO-2, both syncable to MIDI tempo.
We've also introduced an integrated studio-quality effects panel with brilliant-sounding distortion, phaser, flanger/chorus, delay, and reverb. With additional touches such as per-layer drift control, over 500 expertly designed presets, and flexible MIDI mapping, Mercury-6 will satisfy both vintage synth aficionados and today's music producer.

Mercury 6 vs Jupiter 6 // Does the Cherry Audio sound like the Roland ...?
video upload by Starsky Carr
"How does the Mercury 6 stack up against the original? Cherry Audio are killing it with these releases, and this one is great. I can't think of another Jupiter 6 emulation out there. It was quite a unique synth in its day with a super fast LFO (100Hz), sync 2-ways, cross mod with modulation, a second LFO and bitimbral. Quite a cool thing.
Here I've not lingered on the more prosaic functions and sound. We all know the Cherry Audio stuff sounds good - so here I've dug into if it's doing those Jupiter 6 specialities like Cross Mod and Sync...
and also because the hardware was dying!! Another good reason for getting thew software :) I had to finish this before it cut out..!

"I am using the Buchla 208c music Easel Command along with the Make Noise 0-ctrl as a stand in for the 218 touch controller. I am using annotations to try to teach some of my thought process when I'm making these improvisations. This patch demonstrates the rhythmic variations you can get by sending sequential voltage to the pulser CV. I'm also inverting the voltage, so that higher notes last longer, but there are many possibilities for how to achieve rhythmic variations in this way. I am using the west coast technique of starting with something and spinning it out like a centrifuge. I'm processing the sound through a few eurorack modules that I will detail below. Hopefully this camera angle also helps you learn something!"
