Oberheim TEO-5

video upload by Jörg Schaaf

"Bauhaus 1930
I visited the Bauhaus Museum in Dessau and stepped into this beautiful machine from 1930 - The Lichtmaschine. I had no tripod and filmed it with my mobile phone only. I created the soundtrack with the Prophet X sample synthesizer from Sequential and some of my own samples."

Prophet X - Epic Vol.4 | Super Jupiter Plus (SF2 available)

video upload by Espen Kraft

"A collection of the absolute best Roland Super Jupiter MKS-80 AND Sequential Six-Trak samples and patches inside your Prophet X.

A fat powerful VCO collection ready for your P X.

I've layered and multi-recorded 32 sounds from a Super Jupiter MKS-80 (Rev.5) and 18 of my best custom sounds from the Six-Trak.

All put into 50 epic multi-samples/instruments for your P X.

These are not sample-stretched sounds nor is there any overlap from the Epic Vol.1. These are all new samples. Total filesize is about 1.32Gb.

The price for this pack is $30USD (or €30Euros if you're in Europe) and considering you'll get the absolute best patches and samples ever made for these synths, directly onto your Prophet X, I think the price is fair. I've spent a lot of time making these sound absolutely stellar.

My CONTACT email address is this: espenkraft69@gmail.com If you want to purchase this pack please send me an email and I'll give you instructions on how to order. If you want a bundled (discount) price for multiple packs just let me know. I will only sell Prophet X packs directly through email.

Full installation notes included in the download.

All the multi-samples are also available as *sf2 (TAL sampler and Logic compatible) if you're interested. Price is the same.

I've included some patches to help you get going and you have two options of transfer: Bank U3 P41 – P59 or Bank A4 P41 - P59.

If you want to transfer the patches SOMEWHERE ELSE on your own PX, you can do so manually, by editing the individual sysex files."

BODE Barberpole Phaser by SYNTH-WERK Comes to 5U

SYNTH-WERK introdcued the BODE Barberpole Phaser in rackmount format back in 2024, additional posts including demos here. It is now available as a 5U module.

"The BODE Barberpole Phaser, now available as 5U Module for modular systems. Price 2.900 Euro plus tax"

via SYNTH-WERK

"The BODE BARBERPOLE PHASER offers 9 phase stages and various sound manipulation features. The option to insert an additional effect into the feedback loop or one of the two audio pathes is one of them.

The main feature of the BPP/product is infinity phasing. Infinity phasing is a psychoacoustic effect based on the Shepard scale, which was introduced in 1964 by the psychologist Roger N. Shepard. It creates the illusion of an infinitely ascending or descending scale that never exceeds the limit of one‘s hearing.

The combination of the various features like left-right panning or the transfer of a monofonic input signal into a stereo output signal and modulation of the phaser creates a sonic soundstage in the tradition of Harald Bodes ”Klangumformer” principal. If you think you know the sound of a Phaser, you need to listen to the Barberpole Phaser to understand the possibilities of a 'Klangumformer'"

Hotone Verbera Convolution Reverb + Synthesizer Demo

video upload by HotoneAudio

"Step into a universe of lush, immersive soundscapes with the Hotone Verbera. In this video, we explore unique presets paired with expressive IRs, showcasing how Verbera transforms a synthesizer’s tone into a cinematic journey. From deep ambient washes to rhythmic, pulsing reverbs, discover the power of convolution and algorithmic reverb in one compact pedal.

Featured Presets & IRs:
00:07 - 001 - Verbera / IR: Space VAB Sd
00:41 - 024 – Multi Universe / IR: Time Slip
01:18 - 028 – Disco Elysiumt / IR: Ping Pong Fun
02:10 - 062 - Flap Wings / IR: Rain Field

Perfect for synth players, guitarists, and sonic explorers alike."

Ever imagined your sound echoing through a sold-out stadium? Or reverberating off the metallic walls of a NASA spacecraft hangar? What if your guitar fell into a cosmic white hole… or drifted through the vaulted ceilings of a centuries-old cathedral?

Welcome to Verbera — where imagination meets reality. This is not your typical software convolution plugin. Verbera is a standalone, hardware-based convolution reverb pedal — with Instant IR loading, stunning tweakability, and boundless sonic range. Whether you’re recreating iconic spaces, vintage hardware, or crafting otherworldly reverbs never heard before, Verbera gives musicians and engineers a powerful new tool for both live and studio setups.

Step Into Iconic Spaces and Classic Gear with a Single Click
Verbera ships with 120 world-class impulse responses (IRs) — captured in breathtaking detail from legendary spaces like symphony halls, European cathedrals, even aerospace facilities. You’ll also find IRs modeled after classic studio gear like spring and plate reverbs. Massive or intimate, modern or retro — Verbera brings those sonic environments directly under your feet.

Reverbs from Another Dimension
Verbera isn’t just about realism — it’s about reinvention. Beyond the meticulously captured IRs, you’ll find a curated library of original Hotone-crafted IRs that stretch the limits of your imagination. Think sci-fi-inspired synth atmospheres, time-warping delay trails, shimmering textures pulled straight from a “white hole” in space. These are not your standard reverbs — they’re creative catalysts designed to inspire your next masterpiece.

Dual Reverb Engine for Deep-Dimensional Sound Design
At the heart of Verbera is a dual-engine design. On one side: the IR convolution engine, capturing the nuanced reflections of real spaces and gear. On the other: XR, a finely tuned algorithmic reverb that brings surreal, hyper-dimensional ambiance to your sound. Layer them. Shape them. And with a single tap, freeze the XR reverb to create endlessly evolving textures and ambient pads.

Cutting-Edge Convolution Tech, Instant IR loading
Powered by Hotone’s proprietary low-latency convolution engine, Verbera delivers studio-grade reverb tails — up to 10 seconds stereo or 20 seconds mono — without skipping a beat. Switch IRs on the fly with zero audio dropout. This is next-gen performance that blows past traditional limitations.
