Press release follows:

Intuitive Instruments improves Exquis MPE controller with firmware 2.2.0 update alongside Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Cockos Reaper workflow-merging scripts

SAINT-CYPRIEN, FRANCE: Intuitive Instruments is proud to announce improvements to the award-winning Exquis MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) controller with major updates coming courtesy of introducing firmware 2.2.0 alongside software scripts to merge its workflow with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Cockos Reaper DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) — wholeheartedly representing several simultaneous steps towards the inspirational solutions for music lovers creator’s goal of ultimately making music-making seamless by turning the flagship instrument itself into the ultimate lightweight and compact creative hub — as of September 8…

Exquis enables seamless and natural interaction with all DAW software, MIDI synthesizers, and modular systems by becoming a direct extension of its user’s creativity as an expressive and intuitive MPE controller comprising a hexagonal matrix of 61 backlit soft silicon keys arranged as consecutive notes (semitones) horizontally and harmonious notes (thirds) vertically — from the lowest at the bottom to the highest at the top — that provide independent gestural control over four different dimensions: velocity (strike force), horizontal tilt (X axis — pitch bend), vertical tilt (Y axis — CC#74), and pressure (Z axis — channel pressure or polyphonic aftertouch). Alongside a namesake companion app — itself optionally offering an experience akin to traditional composition software — available on macOS and Windows with support for VST, VST3, and AUv3 audio plug-in formats, Intuitive Instruments’ flagship instrument is intended to provide musicians of all levels with a fun and intuitive way of creating melodies and progressions, fully exploiting sonic potential in the process of doing so — whether working with third-party software over the USB (Type-C) connection, third-party software or hardware synthesizers through the MIDI IN and OUT (minijack) connections, and modular synthesizers via CV (control voltage) with dedicated 0-5V (minijack) connections for GATE (V-Trigger), PITCH (V/Oct), and MOD (pressure or velocity). These top out a lightweight (600g) and compact — 36 mm (H) x 146 mm (W) x 317 mm (D) — desktop design that also incorporates four rotary/push encoders and a six-zone capacitive touch slider, plus a series of selection, undo/redo, and action buttons, providing precise and intuitive control collectively over any user’s sound while enhancing interaction with the app.

Crow Hill & Bleeding Fingers Proudly Present PREHISTORIC STRINGS Library

video upload by CROW HILL

Press release follows:

The Crow Hill Company works with Bleeding Fingers to proudly present PREHISTORIC STRINGS as unique string library built from bespoke instruments

EDINBURGH, UK: working with award-winning composers collective Bleeding Fingers, Edinburgh-based enterprise The Crow Hill Company is proud to present PREHISTORIC STRINGS as a truly unique string library — literally built from one-of-a-kind bespoke instruments incorporating horns and teeth with a few ancient bones thrown in for good measure, making for hybrid monstrosities to create tones that are haunting, primordial, and staggeringly beautiful in their truly primitive nature — as of September 25…

Putting PREHISTORIC STRINGS into its rightful perspective involves delving deep into the past in more ways than one — not least The Crow Hill Company’s ongoing relationship with its collective friends at Bleeding Fingers. For it all started when the latter’s talented Anže Rozman and Kara Talve worked with Hollywood hotshot Hans Zimmer — arguably one of the greatest, certainly one of the most prolific film composers of our time, noted for his innovative integration of electronic sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements — on the primetime television series Prehistoric Planet (2022-2025). As always with both Bleeding Fingers’ and Hans Zimmer’s approach to composition, the creation of truly unique sound-worlds played a fundamental role in the development of said score. An audacious project, indeed, it involved the construction of a selection of string instruments built with bones, horns, skulls, and cannibalised classical instruments, including a cello, frame drum, resonating dulcimer, and many more besides. But credit where credit’s due to the killer composing team involved in instinctively understanding that the resulting score’s success merely represented the tip of the iceberg in terms of the potential of their unique inventions and agreeing to share them with the rest of the composing community.

Inner City/Big Fun (Circuit Rhythm Instrumental)

video upload by Guinan

"Written in 1987 and released in 1988 Inner City’s ‘Big Fun’ was one of the first big crossover hits for House music internationally. Composed with minimal equipment and featuring Paris Grey’s iconic vocal, it set the template for many imitators and subsequent hits.

In the interview below Kevin Saunderson states that all he wanted to create was a track that could be played at the Paradise Garage, the birthplace of House. Nearly 40 years later it can still fill a dancefloor.

Much of the essence of the track comes down to the sampled sounds used. I’ve tried as far as possible to use the original sound sources for my samples and have recreated a version that fits the track into the Circuit Rhythm. What you hear (on both the instrumental and vocal versions) is recreated entirely on the Rhythm and recorded direct from the audio outs. See below for more details."

Press release follows:

Ali Modular enters Eurorack marketplace with Esu’s Trifecta available as powerful multi-effects module with Triple FX engine

WASHINGTON, DC, USA: deep joy-encouraging Eurorack module-maker Ali Modular is proud to announce availability of Esu’s Trifecta — readily representing its inaugural entry into the ever-expanding Eurorack marketplace as a powerful multi-effects module, albeit one which stands out from the sound of the crowd courtesy of an ability to run three different serial effects at the same time, thanks to the Triple FX engine driving its intuitive tools that unlock new ways to shape sound and manage the creative process — as of October 2…

As a powerful stereo multi-effects Eurorack module, Esu’s Trifecta is designed to be the ultimate tool for manipulating, shaping, and transforming sound, duly delivering creative possibilities for musicians, live performers, and sound designers alike — whether used as an all-round sound manipulator, end-of-chain effects processor, or sound design tool. Digging deeper, Esu’s Trifecta draws its essence from an orisha — orishas being divine spirits that play a key role in the Yoruba religion of West Africa and several religions of the African diaspora that derive from it — called Èṣù, the mischievous trickster and guardian of the crossroads, who works to promote balance, order, and harmony, ultimately, despite being known for bringing confusion and unpredictability. It is fair to say that this ethos is effectively embedded deeply into the module’s design. As a result, Esu’s Trifecta creates opportunities for unpredictable sonic exploration while providing the tools to mould sound into harmony and order. On the face of it, the module itself opens up limitless pathways for creativity and sound sculpting — just as Èṣù signifies infinite possibilities.

Elektron Digitone 2 Presets. Synth, Bass, Arp. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"🌌 An atmospheric melodic preset bank for Digitone II. Built with the new Digitone II engines, this pack explores the beauty of imperfection — where cosmic vastness collides with corrosion. Stellar Rust is centered around atmospheric basses, evolving arpeggios and expressive synth tones, all carrying a balance of tenderness and metallic bite.

💾 It includes: 14 Basses, 10 Arps, 10 Synths, 8 FXs, 8 Pads, 5 Plucks, 5 Sequences, and 4 Leads.

📦 Get these presets: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/digi...
Created and performed by Moino.
‼️ Compatible with Digitone 2 only. Not compatible with Digitone 1.

The sounds move between immersive depth and subtle grit: basses hum with rusted resonance, arps glimmer like broken constellations, and synths breathe with both warmth and tension. Each patch feels like a fragment of cosmic debris, glowing with imperfect beauty — emotional, textured, and alive.

🛎 Tip: Experiment across tonalities — every key reveals new shades, from haunting delicacy to raw sharpness. This is music where the stars rust into sound.

WMD Skorpion & Wavefolding – Workshop at SchneidersLaden

video upload by SchneidersLaden

"On September 24, 2025, things got wild at SchneidersLaden’s showroom: William from WMD presented the brand-new Skorpion module – a powerful analog wavefolder developed over five years.

With 8-stage wavefolding and a strong vector core, Skorpion offers a direct and engaging way to shape sound without screens or menus. True to WMD’s reputation for quality, this may very well be the last wavefolder you’ll ever need.

The workshop provided a deep dive into the art of wavefolding, modular sound design techniques, and featured a live performance showcasing Skorpion in action.

For everyone interested in exploring wavefolding further – here’s the full recording of the evening."

Definitely takes a second to understand the instrument selection and editing process so don’t take this as some musical masterpiece. I was primarily interested in the analog voices so that’s what I was playing with in this clip. But as expected, the machine sounds exactly as it should. I was very impressed with both the build quality and the accurate sound."

Technosaurus Selector C with Antonus Step Brother Improvisation Demos by Anton's

video uploads by Antonus

"There is not many Technosaurus modular demos in youtube so we take profit of have one in our workshop for check and then put for sale. This modular synthesizer makes honor to his name:

Is old, is very rare and difficult to find one in good shape and working, is big and heavy, the sound is like a big roar and can bite!
Really impressive to have one for look and for sound. It is very very special sound and behaviour, but have a lot of vintage essence, and remember a lot of the high quality sounding synthesizers from the early years, but adding modern connectivity with MIDI and standard CV/GATE with volt/octave norm.

A pleasure to have a very fine audio quality, clean and crispy, depth, with lot of dynamic range but at same time and old vintage essence. The frequency response is huge, with very low bottom and clean and vivid treble, low noise leaves, and the transients and fast times are fabulous. A wonderful balance between the classic old essences and sounding and modern and hi-fi details. Is very difficult to find a system with this personality, very unique.

All the modules are wonderful, but the triple resonator is incredible.

Here is an improvisation demo showing the melodic features, using it in a multi-timbral way, with different sequence sounds, basses, leads, percussions and noises, all in real time. For make that I use the Antonus Step Brother for take all the profit of the possibilities. The combination of the Technosaurus with the Step Brother is awesome, only need to use adapters from minijack to 1/4 jacks. Just direct sound, no post processing, no EQ, no multitrack.
