NuRAD sound and patch design with the Novation Peak and Zynthian V5.
video upload by Alexander Harris
"Using the Berglund Instruments NuRAD electric wind instrument to control the Novation Peak and the Zynthian V5. Playing a mono patch (ZynAddSubFX) on the V5 and poly patch I designed on the Peak. The voicings are being controlled using the Polyplay midi rotator function on the NuRAD. In this video you’ll hear three different variations of that - each invite a different tonality when it comes to improvising. More to come."

"Not what I wanted to happen, but here is a garage sale of two classic NED Synclaviers. Both are sold as seen, but in generally very good cosmetic condition, and believed complete. They come with huge amounts of literature, disk drives, cabling and peripherals. The cabling will need a lot of sorting - and it's possible some of it doesn't belong to these machines, and that not all cables are present. 1.) Believed to be a PSMT 3200, with beautiful VP/K keyboard as used on the T8. Stacked full of circuit-boards, so believed to be a pretty high-spec version. Classic synth / sampler imported to the UK about 20 years ago from a west coast USA studio. It arrived safely (not cheaply) in its very solid flightcases, but then disaster struck. I plugged the keyboard in, and switched it on - not realising that the 110V box I had used was only a 110V extension, not a 240-110V transformer. Result: a damaged power supply. Two 550-mile round trips to Tony Allgood solved that and made the V/PK good again, but by that time the rest of the system was in storage. So the V/PK was put into its flightcase too, and left for all these years. 2.) Synclavier II, with ORK keyboard. This was serviced by Hideaway several years ago, and tested working with a donor board from another machine. I was given the task of ordering a replacement board, and have failed to do it. 3.) HOP box and DO-1 interface - a diagnostic tool originally for the Synclavier I but apparently should work with the Synclavier II and PSMT. Please see the photos for what you will receive (there are probably a lot more disks, manuals etc not photographed). Some manuals may have suffered a bit from damp storage. Most of the NED items have their original flightcases, and the other items - Macintosh, printer, cables, literature, disks - will all be packed very well. The whole lot will require packing on two pallets (150GBP) unless everything can be delivered or collected by hand."

"I bought this at VEMIA about five years ago It's only got the original OS in it (1.00) but it sounds so good I didn't upgrade it, so its the same as when Orbital used it. all I've done to it is carefully clean the case, coming from a pro environment it had the remains of gaffer tape etc.. Its now better to look at as well as good to play. I didnt change any of the existing programs so you might recognise some??
I really like it but I have too many big synths. It has a provenance certificate signed Phil Hartnoll Its now back at VEMIA so they can pack it professionally. Packing 15GBP."

"**NOW WITH BEAUTIFUL NEW BACKLIGHT & FRESHLY MADE FACTORY SOUND DISKS - SEE TWO REVISED PICS UNDER THUMBNAILS** I used this in my time with Tears For Fears. Subsequent to that I used the MPC60 with many artists and producers I have worked with from Julian Lennon to Hugh Cornwall to Peter Hammill etc etc.. The MPC60 flight case has an issue with the foam which is starting to disintegrate, and needs replacing. The MPC60 is is in full working order however aesthetically it bears the life of having done many sessions with me and has travelled pretty much everywhere with me on sessions here and abroad. Until I bought my MPC3000 from Level 42 I used this machine extensively. It comes with its original manual. The Serial Number is: 21055-04306 and the software version is 2.12. Now at VEMIA, and has been thoroughly checked ready for this auction. Several tact switches have been replaced as they were starting to be a bit unreliable. The disk drive saves and loads fine. In future it could always be replaced by an HxC USB emulator but no need now. Packing: 30GBP - separate packing if a courier is used. Otherwise the flightcase should be OK for hand collection or delivery if the MPC is covered with polythene - the foam is starting to go. (25GBP of the packing charge refunded)."

Highly Customisable, Flexible & Powerful Eurorack Modulation! // MOD 6 from SoundForce
video upload by DivKid
"Here's the new MOD 6 from SoundForce which builds upon their JUNO inspired range added highly customisable, flexible and powerful modulation to a Eurorack modular system. The module is based on an ADSR and LFO but both can be customised for input and output voltage ranges, set to work in different modes with different shapes and curves and both have assignable VCAs to modulate the modulation depths and levels.
It's a super simple menu system that's only ever one level deep, which is a great addition to something so flexible to easily dial in behaviours and even change them on the fly."
MOD 6 is a powerful dual-function Eurorack modulation source. It was designed and developed to compliment the other modules in the juno-themed range of modules: DCO, VCF/VCA 6 and CHORUS 6. It is based on my experiences with the Dual LFO and Dual ADSR modules, with the goal of merging them together into a powerful dual-function next-level module.
Some tech-talk:
MOD 6 is using a STM32H743 micro-controller running at 480Mhz. Quite an overkill chip for this application, but the processing power available offers LFO frequencies up to 1khz and high sampling rates on the analog inputs, with CV modulation frequencies of up to 500hz.
The extremely fast processor allows for ultra-snappy ADSR times down to 100us. Another demonstration of the raw power of the chip used is the ability to morph the LFO waveforms using CV. Additionally, thanks to the screen UI, the user can choose the order in which the waveforms will be morphed.
Jordan Rudess Releases GeoShred Studio
video upload by GeoShred
Press release follows:
Wizdom Music Announces the Release of GeoShred 7 Including GeoShred Studio For Mac Desktop Machines
GeoShred is a new kind of musical instrument, offering fluid expressiveness using a performance surface with "Almost Magic" pitch rounding. This unique performance interface combined with physics-based models of effects and musical instruments, is a powerful tool for musicians. Originally designed for iOS/iPadOS devices, GeoShred is now available as an AUv3 plug-in for desktop DAWs.
"GeoShred has always been about pushing the boundaries of musical expression, and with the introduction of GeoShred Studio as an AUv3 plug-in for macOS, we’re bringing that vision to a whole new audience." - Jordan Rudess President Wizdom Music.
Performers can establish a MIDI/MPE connection between GeoShred on an iOS/iPadOS device and GeoShred Studio on the Mac using GeoShredConnect. This makes it possible to use GeoShred's expressive multi-dimensional control for desktop production workflows. Further, iCloud integration ensures that preset edits are synchronized between the iOS/iPadOS and macOS versions of GeoShred.
Equipped with a built-in guitar physical model and 22 modeled effects, GeoShred Studio offers an impressive array of sonic possibilities. And for those looking to expand their musical palette, an additional 33 physically modeled instruments from around the globe are available as in-app purchases (IAPs). These instruments range from guitars and bowed strings to woodwinds, brass, and traditional Indian and Chinese instruments.
GeoShred Studio is best performed expressively using GeoShred's isomorphic keyboard. For users who don’t own the GeoShred for iOS/iPadOS, the free GeoShred Control MPE controller (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/geoshred-control/id1336247116) is available for use with GeoShred Studio. GeoShred Studio is also compatible with MPE controllers, conventional MIDI controllers, and even breath controllers, offering a wide range of performance options.
GeoShred Studio is free to download, but core functionality requires the purchase of GeoShred Studio Essentials, which includes distinct instruments separate from those in the iOS/iPadOS app, and iOS/iPadOS purchases do not transfer.
Works with MacOS Catalina or greater.
GeoShred, unleash your musical potential!
In celebration of the GeoShred 7 release, we are offering a 25% discount on all iOS/iPadOS and MacOS products, valid until October 10, 2024. Pricing table at moforte.com/pricing
Fred's Lab Manatee Custom Patches [Bank 2] by synth_nyc
You can find hi-res demos at SYNTH_NYC
Details:
"This bank 2 has been created using a TouchOSC mk2 editor I developed (with LUA Scripts) for Manatee firmware v1.03 thanks to Fred’s provided specifications for the parameters control. It’s using NRPN for Editor -> Synth and SYSEX for Synth -> Editor. I had to reverse engineer the 211 bytes SYSEX dump for 1 Part for this effort.
In v1.03, there are 233 parameters total, including 162 for Part."
This is my favorite patch in that bank [TouchOSC editor pics below]. It illustrates what the Manatee can do like a warm FM full body pad (that you can do on a DX synth) but with an aggressive attack and subtle spectral decay and movement that only the Manatee can do AFAIK.
Lastly I’ve tried to highlight new things in that bank 2 (which I haven’t used in bank 1), most patches use them:
- The Spectrum Editor
- The 1-shot LFOs (firmware v1.03): NDLR this is my favorite feature on the Modal 002 / 002R
Most patches have Velocity and PB configured / used in the demo to showcase the Manatee expressivity; and external FX have been used.
Only Manatee Part 1 is used."

Cherry Audio Atomika: An infamous Soviet synthesizer reborn
video upload by CatSynth TV
"We take a deep dive into Atomika, a new instrument from our friends at Cherry Audio that recreates the sound (and look) of the classic Soviet synthesizer Polivoks. Polivoks was infamous for its wild filter based on programmable op amps that can go from traditional resonant filter sounds to unstable and gnarly shouts and warbles. This is has been reproduced in this version, which was made in collaboration with Mark Barton, who co-designed several other of the Cherry Audio instruments we have reviewed.
