Amazing analog sounds that only digital can provide - now in your DAW.
Inspired by the legendary KORG Mono/Poly, the new KORG multi/poly analog modeling synthesizer delivers breathtaking analog sounds combined with extraordinary digital power and flexibility. It's already garnering acclaim as one of the best synths of the year.
"The next generation of music workstations is here—KRONOS has returned. With a fast boot time, an enhanced touchscreen, and a refined aesthetic design, this next-generation powerhouse sets a new standard in versatility and performance capabilities."
"Experience thick bass, powerful leads, and rich analog sounds—all in a portable package. The miniKORG 700Sm reimagines the legendary miniKORG 700S in a compact, portable format with modern enhancements for today’s musicians. Retaining the features of the 2021 miniKORG 700FS, the miniKORG 700Sm offers a slimmer keyboard, reduced to approximately 86% of the original size, and weighs just 5.8 kg (12.8 lbs)—perfect for musicians on the go."
"The multi/poly module brings the acclaimed power and versatility of the multi/poly synthesizer to a rack-mountable design, perfect for modern studio setups. Featuring redesigned, incredible-sounding filters and oscillators, this module pushes the boundaries of analog modeling to new depths."
"Drawing inspiration from the classics the GS Music E7 takes a 'best of' approach to bring us a modern VCO with a totally vintage vibe. It doesn't replicate any synth in particular, (it's got 7 voices for a start!) but you'll be familiar with all the functions and can recreate pretty much any classic tone. Talking of tones, it's got a wonderful sound quality that pulls you in and charms your socks off.
But it doesn't stop in the 80s.. we have MPE mode, it's 4-part multitimbral, with MIDI CC control, 600 preset slots, USB and full sized MIDI IN OUT & THRU
It also vas CV control for more sonic explorations - something I've not delved into yet."

Heritage Audio announces availability of SYNTH BUDDY as world’s first desktop 10 to 1 reversible and fully passive stereo switch
MADRID, SPAIN: European pro audio manufacturer Heritage Audio is proud to announce availability of SYNTH BUDDY — billed as being the world’s first desktop 10 to 1 reversible and fully passive stereo switch as a cost-effective, essential studio solution for seamlessly connecting up to 10 stereo (or 20 mono) line level sources, such as synths, drum machines, or samplers, and toggling between them with the twist of a knob — as of January 15, 2025…
It is fair to say that anyone who has ever dreamed about an inexpensive solution to help have multiple synths, drum machines, samplers, and other line level instruments connected and available with the twist of a knob can wake up and smell the coffee, courtesy of Heritage Audio’s SYNTH BUDDY. Indeed, its top panel-positioned 10 x1 STEREO PASSIVE SELECTOR wording gives the game away as it is possible to seamlessly connect 10 stereo (or 20 mono) line level sources to its 10 stereo/20 mono TS jack inputs and toggle between them with the twist of a knob (outputting via one stereo/two mono TS jacks) — simple as that! Talk about a dream becoming reality. And an all-passive design ensures crystal-clear line level signals with no added colouration — straight from the user’s musical mind to the song with no power source needed.
Needless to say, when creativity hits, there is no time for plugging in cables and switching gear. After all, many have experienced the creativity-killing scenario of having a great musical idea seemingly arrive out of nowhere, only for it to disappear by the time everything is set up and ready to record; no such worries when working with SYNTH BUDDY, of course, since everything is connected and available at the twist of a knob.
It is even possible to use SYNTH BUDDY ‘backwards’ by turning it into a one-input/10-output selector, so users can, for example, easily run one guitar or bass into several amps or effects — applications are (almost) endless! Either way, SYNTH BUDDY is built like a tank with an elegant desktop design — measuring merely 190mm (W) x 105mm (D) x 80mm (H) while weighing in at only 988g — that lends itself to studio or stage usage... and all without breaking the bank!
SYNTH BUDDY is shipping and available via Heritage Audio’s growing global network of dealers (https://heritageaudio.com/where-to-buy-international/) with an SSP (Standalone Selling Price) of €199.00 EUR (including VAT) in the EU and a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) of $199.00 USD, US distribution being handled via RAD Distribution (https://raddist.com/en/brands/heritage-audio).
"This little booklet from 1984 taught me (almost) everything I know about synthesis. Let's go back to basics... and back to the future... with the Casio CZ-101 manuals and see what we can learn about the basics of learning synthesizer programming and sound design. Along the way we'll learn a thing or two about classic synth modulations, some interesting new wavetables, and how to rock the synth guitar! So... Grab your waveshaper and strap your DCW down, because where we're going we don't need any filters! It's time for some retro-digital-synthesis-a-go-go!
KRC Mathwaves full collection -- 160,000+ wavetables, including new multi/poly inspired wavetables and the "Varieties of Noise" sample library -- usually $29, can be yours for just $20 using code SANDRA at checkout or by following this link: https://www.wavetables.lol/l/wavetabl...
All proceeds go to my sister and her family as she recovers from her accident.
"Your Digitakt II is equipped with hundreds of great sounds. Let's see what we can come up with using only what ships with a new Digitakt II and make something stylish and fresh from scratch! My aim is to make something clean, minimal, and classy. We will start with the noise tools and move on from there."

"10-Voice with Board #3, featuring the durable non-Nextel paint that won’t become sticky over time. It includes a collection of presets crafted by rozz3r, which explore the vast sonic palette of this amazing synthesizer. You can preview the presets in the provided YouTube link."

"This demo tweak uses Redshift’s Sour character for its acid sounds.
All the patches in this demo song are made using one oscillator that is fed to the Sour characters 18 dB/Oct filter.
Pitch slides are programmed to the midi notes as pitch bend midi cc messages, and the note velocity modulates the filter cutoff through the filter envelope modulation.
"Using CV Out 2 and 4 to control the Loop Start Point of Sequencers 1 and 3 plus the Strobe buttons to either manually or automatically generate glitchy chaotic patterns. The Tempo CV is being controlled by Sequencer 3 plus 4 CV Out."
