Melbourne Instruments Roto-Control – First Look with Honeysmack a.k.a Dr David Haberfeld

video upload by mutech.media.australia

"On the first day at NAMM 2025, we saw the newly released Roto-Control from Melbourne Instruments, a totally unique MIDI controller perfect for live performance. With motorised touch-sensitive knobs, customisable haptics, and hi-res labelling screens, the Roto-Control is capable of saving 8,000 assignments for total control of your rig.

We love the physical feedback in the knobs and the haptics in the buttons – it makes using the Roto-Control to control something like Ableton Live much more like playing a real hardware synth. Honeysmack (Dr David Haberfeld) is a veteran of live performance with synths, and his enthusiasm for Roto-Control is obvious and contagious!"

The GS Music E7 is Currently 10% Off For Presidents' Day

via GS Music

The GS E7 synthesizer is an innovative instrument offering robust features for both amateur and professional musicians. It’s the first polyphonic and multitimbral analog synthesizer made in Argentina, reflecting years of dedicated research and development. The E7 is capable of generating a wide range of sound possibilities, boasting seven voices of polyphony, which can be split across four different parts, making it effectively multitimbral. Key features include two voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) per voice, with ultra-stable tuning over seven octaves and several waveform options. It also features a 24dB/oct low-pass filter with resonance control, dual ADSR envelope generators, and three low-frequency oscillators (LFOs) for complex modulation possibilities.

Furthermore, the E7 supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), enhancing its performance capabilities. This allows each note to be articulated individually, providing nuanced expression and dynamic control that can bring each performance to life. This is especially beneficial for advanced players looking to push the boundaries of sound texture and musical expression.

Additionally, the E7 includes onboard effects such as Chorus and Delay, enhancing the synthesizer’s sound-shaping capabilities. The design ensures easy access to a wide range of functions via a streamlined interface with minimal controls, making it user-friendly while still allowing for deep sound exploration. For President’s Day, the GS E7 is now available with a 10% discount exclusively at gsmusic.com.


This is why people LOVE the tone of the e7

Prophet-6 + MiniFreak = true love

"I recently had the incalculable good fortune of getting a very good ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-6 at a very good price. This is a synth I heard in my dreams. Everything it does is inspiring. It makes me very, very happy.

It joined my ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬ MiniFreak, which I loved profoundly. And still love, though it's inevitably taken a bit of a back seat. But the real question is...how do the two play together? The first of exploration of many to come..."

One of my favorite movie soundtracks from the early 80s
Das Boot by Klaus Doldinger (1981)

Featured the Oberheim OB-X Synthesizer, the Moog Source, the Minimoog and the Emulator II for some sound samples

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.

My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

SONICWARE CyDrums & LIVEN Ambient Ø | Connections 2025-02-13 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using CyDrums and Ambient Ø. Over a glitchy beat, a repeating synth loop and random synth phrases emerge.

On CyDrums, I activate random steps in PERFORMANCE mode and adjust the filter, using parameter locks in the sequence to change panning and timbre.

On Ambient Ø, I loop harmonies while setting sequence phrases to random steps and manipulating the timbre. The sequence phrases are configured with parameter locks to adjust filter modulation and release settings.

On both devices, I use mute to bring phrases in and out during the performance."

"Rare, in excellent aesthetic and functional condition. Kept with great care.

Available for personal collection in Milan or bomb-proof shipping on pallet, worldwide.

The German-made Hartmann Neuron is a polyphonic synthesizer that broke new ground using a new form of synthesis and sound-modeling they say was based on technology found in neural networks. What the Neuron actually does is it analyzes audio files (samples) and creates digital computer models of these sounds which can then be re-synthesized and processed using the extensive amount of on-board data-wheels and joysticks with control of more 'musical' sonic aspects such as instrument shape, size and acoustic behavior. The joysticks allow for real-time tweaking of up to three parameters at once - 3D modeling in a true 5.1 surround sound environment."

Behringer Spice 50 Modular Patches, Seqs, Samples Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"'Undertones' is a collection of 50 patches for the semi-modular synthesizer Behringer Spice: chords, sequences, basses, leads, plucks, drones, percussion, and FXs.
📀 The presets feature various colors: warm, clean, soft, deep as well as punchy, dark, bright, noisy, detuned, and distorted.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/spic...

🗄 All patches are divided into three groups: SEQ (32 patches), KBD (10 patches), and TRG (8 patches).
SEQ patches use the Spice sequencer with an internal or external clock. This group contains melodic patterns, chords, and bass lines. The play button is on.
KBD patches are designed for use with an external sequencer/arpeggiator, DAW, or MIDI keyboard. This group includes leads, plucks, chords, and drones. The play button is off.
TRG patches use the Spice sequencer, but sound is only heard when the TRIGGER button is pressed. These patches don’t trigger envelopes for each step (EG button is off), so envelopes must be launched manually. This group contains FXs and experimental timbres. The play button is on.

Mutable (ST)RINGS | Modular Composing | Open Sequencing

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I guess it's much cheaper to find new use to existing modules instead of getting more modules that don't really add anything new. We all know Mutable Rings, it's our modular guitar. So how about trying to play it like a guitar? In this video, I'll use a static arp, like the strings on a guitar, tuned to whatever you like (like Fripp's New Standard Tuning) and then move the individual notes around like a fretboard. It's like a note-by-note transpose. Do you know any sequencer that can do this? Sure! Five12 Vector has chance operations and subsequencers. Westlicht has note ranges and you can use Track B to transpose track A. But you can't transpose the indivual notes in an ARP with their own subsequences. I've been working on this idea because it's a cool addition to our stochastic generative dice controlled compositions. I'd like to all it 'open sequencing' as a tribute to 'open composers' from the 50's and 60's. People like John Cage and Hans Otte, but also people like Robert Fripp (tuning of fifths) and Hans Zimmer (double harmonic dune scale).

It's even cooler to use a module that allows you to build what doesn't exist yet, lke Monome Teletype. I wrote a script you can load in your module, but Teletype is also part of the VCV free module collection. I bet you'd never use it without some help. So here's a script you can cut, paste in a .TXT and load it into the 'active script' of Teletype."
