"5 Moons is a multitrack recorder. On one hand, it's a tool to record your creativity. Build up layers of tracks and enjoy crafting that perfect song or field recording.

On the other hand, it helps you create new sounds! Looping and bounce down functions open up new dimensions for your sound and fun ways for your tracks to interact with each other!

The unassuming wood enclosure draws you in, but hidden inside are high fidelity electronics designed for rich recordings. Its sleek user interface offers crisp control and ample room for sonic experimentation.

Easy Interface, Rapid Results

Get straight into recording - let your creativity flow.

5 Moons' simple interface is perfect for effortlessly building up many tracks.

The immediacy of 5 Moons means you'll be quickly experimenting and exploring the new ideas flying around your studio - watch out!

One Shot or Loop?

Create evolving jazz loops and/or a 3-chord pop song.

5 Moons is happy to acommodate recording a song with a beginning and end or a looping vibe - it's all in how you decide to play back your tracks. You'll probably do both!

Bounce with Me

Build up your song with more tracks.

At first glance, you might think 5 Moons 'only' has five tracks. But once you bounce down those five tracks to the first track of a new song, you'll have 4 more tracks to add to it!

Once those four new tracks have audio, bounce down again and you'll have another four new more tracks to play with! ...and on and on until your masterpiece is complete.

File Freedom

Disk Mode makes it easy to transfer files to your DAW.

The USB-C port is used for both power and data transfer. Connect to your computer and copy your recordings for posterity and/or additional editing.

You can also copy existing audio files onto 5 Moons. Use these files as the beginnings of new songs or use 5 Moons' interface as a way to reenvision and remix your prior tracks!"

Fujifilm XT4 Gritty Low Light Video in Classic Negative with vocoder retro synthpop music


video upload by Mamotreco

"Shot this with the Fujifilm X-T4 and the Fujinon 50mm f2 prime lens. I let the ISO run as high as it wanted to since I was shooting as we were driving around at night on the back roads of the Pacific Northwest suburbs. The IBIS is turned on since the lens has no OIS.
#fujifilm #lowlight #vocoder

The background music I wrote years ago on Fruity Loops 3 with the vocoder vocals coming in from the Microkorg synth. There might also be some Casio CZ5000 melodies in there.

You’ll notice that the footage is pretty jerky at moments but in a rather mechanical way. I believe that is due to the Fujifilm X-T4 IBIS which tends to be pretty rigid, which is great for static shots but not so much for dynamic movement situations.

The Classic Negative film simulation which I applied to the video is very pleasing in terms of mood and color look, in my opinion. This is one of the strengths of the Fujifilm system of cameras, being able to apply distinctive but versatile looks to both footage and photos.

One last word about the music, I wrote this track being inspired by both John Carpenter soundtracks and early Sierra point and click adventure backgrounds on the first outings of Police Quest, Space Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry.

Serge Modular Synthesizer: GTO - simple patch as dual VCO


video upload by fonitronik

"The GTO is Serge Tcherepnins latest module design. It is the successor of the SSG, but not only. It is a complete new circuit design that can do everything the SSG did, but better and more.
This simple patch shows how both sides can now be used as VCOs with a 1V/Oct input.
BTW I modified my GTO to have banana sockts instaed of 3.5mm jacks."

The Lost Prophet: Dave Smith's Forgotten Flagship


video upload by Jameson Nathan Jones

"The Prophet 12 was one of the first synths that caught my eye when I first got into synthesizers, but then I promptly forgot about it during the analog revival of the 2010s. I recently got my hands on one, and decided to do some digging into why this synth is seldom talked about, despite Dave Smith himself proclaiming it to be his favorite when it was released 10 years ago.

Dave Smiths Craziest Synth

The Poly Evolver is wonderfully weird... and may be my new favorite synth
video upload by Jameson Nathan Jones

"The DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard is both confusing and beautiful, but I've gotten things out of it I've never gotten out of any other synth. It's a bit of a unicorn instrument, and is quintessentially "Dave" in its blend of legacy and innovation."

I wish more synths could do this

New Systems Instruments Introduces Triphase Oscillator Eurorack Module


video upload by New Systems Instruments

"A quick overview of the Triphase Oscillator. For more information, check out our website: https://nsinstruments.com/modules/tri... Patch notes below.

The Triphase Oscillator is a Eurorack Module from New Systems Instruments that lets you explore the space of phase interference. It is an oscillator with three independent phases, with modulation, and a bipolar mixer to combine them.

The first / last patch uses two Triphase oscillators. The lower Triphase is taking two outputs panned left and right and one panned center, with different LFOs modulating the left and right phase. This gives it a stereo chorus type of effect. The higher/melody Triphase has an envelope controlling one of the phases, and an LFO controlling the other two. This makes a square notch that is large at the beginning and then becomes smaller, with both the width of the notch and its position relative to the saw changing. End of chain reverb is added. There are no filters, VCAs, or other modules making or modifying sounds.

Most of the other patches should be pretty self-explanatory. They are recorded dry.

The melodic patch is sequenced from a keystep.

The FM patch is doing audio rate FM from the Inertia, which is configured as an oscillator here.

The hard sync patch is synced with an offscreen oscillator, and uses the Inertia as an envelope to control the pitch of the Triphase."



"New Systems Instruments announced today that the Triphase Oscillator is now shipping and available. The Triphase Oscillator gives you three sawtooth waves with independent control over the phase of each wave, combined with a bipolar mixer. This creates a comb filter pattern in the harmonics, emphasizing some harmonics and canceling others.

The Triphase Oscillator works with phase cancellation, combining three waves at different phases and polarities to remove or reinforce regularly spaced harmonics, such as odd harmonics or every third harmonic. With the bipolar mixer, you can control how the waves interact, canceling or reinforcing parts of the spectrum either fully or partially. Applying CV to the phases creates variable-width pulses, subtle detuning effects, and a continuously moving soundscape. Phase cancellation is related to pulse width modulation, but pulse width modulation only has one dimension of control instead of the multiple phases and polarities of the Triphase Oscillator. A closer relative is a chorus effect, which creates frequency-dependent phase differences by delaying a signal.

One way to use the Triphase Oscillator is to mix all three saws at the same polarity, modulating their phases to create a supersaw, similar to mixing multiple detuned sawtooth oscillators. This creates a classic thick analog sound, further enhanced by the internal CP3 type mixer—a discrete transistor mixer that reportedly gave the Moog IIIp modular system a good part of its sound. With the individual outputs, you can also use a full featured stereo mixer and pan the saw waves left, right, and center, giving a stereo supersaw or stereo chorus type of effect.

Apart from its unique phase modulation capabilities, the Triphase Oscillator is a very capable analog oscillator in its own right, giving a tuning accuracy of around 8 octaves and ranging from 1.5Hz–60kHz, well into the sub and supersonic ranges. In addition to volt per octave and CV over phase, it has a hard sync input, and a linear FM input. All the CV runs at audio rate as well, meaning the Triphase Oscillator can produce some interesting FM + phase modulation sounds.

New Systems Instruments is a modular manufacturer located in the San Francisco Bay Area, focusing on creating new analog designs based on different ways of thinking about music and synthesis.

The Triphase Oscillator retails at $385 USD."

Introducing TAZM-O - Analog Thru Zero Oscillator


video upload by ALM TV

"The ‘TAZM-O’ is an analog triangle core oscillator featuring through-zero frequency modulation and a collection of some of our favourite features of classic oscillator designs.

It includes a continuous morphing wave/pulse width shape control inspired by the Serge NTO, dual SH-101 style varied pulse sub octave outputs, a voltage controlled FM Index typically found in larger complex oscillators, a built in output level VCA and voltage controlled octave transposition similar to the multipliers found on Akemie’s Castle digital FM VCO.

Designed to act as the primary oscillator in your system the ‘TAZM-O’ offers a wide range of timbral and patch flexibility within a relatively compact 12HP size, making it the perfect fit for any modular system.

Boredbrain Injectr with Electric Piano, Drums, and Contact Mic


video upload by Boredbrain Music

"Several musical experiments are performed with the help of INJECTR, a comprehensive electric instrument interface for eurorack systems. Many thanks to our friend and electronic musician, Galen Bundy, for creating these unique demonstrations.

First, a Rhodes piano is injected into a band-pass filter then patched into the Qu-Bit Nautilus for pitched delay effects. Both envelope and gate control voltages derived by Injectr from the piano signal are used to modulate multiple parameters in real-time.

Next, a drum signal from the Arturia Drumbrute Impact is directly injected into the eurorack system and affected in various ways by Injectr's smooth soft-clipping overdrive and amp simulator circuits. The instrument signal is then patched into the plague driver distortion with oscillator modulation controlled by the envelope and gate signals from Injectr.

Lastly, Injectr is used to amplify and extract voltages from a simple contact microphone, from which the signal is passed through pedals and other modules for some deviant ambience and organic sound effects."
