ART SPRINGER STRIKES AGAIN (free)
Reviewed by Mike Metlay

All right, gang, I know what you're expecting in this space, so I'll oblige you and get it over with. Ready? Here goes: "WAHOOLAZUMA! Everybody's favorite twisted puppy is back from the audio torture chamber, and he's brewed up the most brain-slashing package of monstrous elektronoyze EVER! This stuff's great for warping your brain patterns, killing your cat, etc..."

Okay. Happy now? Good, now let's get serious. I heard from Art recently that he didn't get a terribly good response to his first mailing, and that few, if any, XUG members looked him up for his second set of patches

He seemed in a pretty good humor about it, but I couldn't help wondering if my presentation of his patch set didn't scare a lot of people away just by the wording. So, with a new patch set from Art (more diverse than the first two) in hand, I'd like to try again.

One of the most unhealthy trends I see in today's patch-editing software is the patch randomizer, that cute but overused utility that generates random patches at the click of a mouse. Literally thousands of these random patches are being sold by unscrupulous hackers as "original sounds," and a whole new generation of MIDI morons is springing up (pardon the pun) whose idea of "good programming chops" is the ability to tweak a randomly generated sound into something that (almost) works. No program of this type exists yet for the xpander, and I'm glad of it: the lack of computer-generated garbage on the market forces the user community to seek one another for new ideas, rather than some electronic I Ching. We come together in this Group to share ideas and learn from one another and I believe that studying another human being's work beats watching a computer coughing up random numbers. Which brings us to the music of Art Springer.

In my opinion, these patches are important. VERY important. I get so enthused about Art's work because I see in him a reflection of my college days, when I puttered about with ARP and Buchla modular monsters creating sounds for the sheer joy of it, putting together tonalities never before heard on Earth rather than trying to make a realistic shakuhachi. This was, and often still is, the meat and potatoes of electronic music to me. And when I hear Art telling me that people- Xpander users!-are returning his work because it's "too weird," I know something's wrong. The Xpander isn't a sampler or a digital piano. It's not an imitative instrument by nature. It's a powerful, multiply interfaceable modular synthesizer with a great deal of flexibility. Art Springer takes a stance on its use that no other Group member has had the courage to try: using its Power as a CV percussion device to enhance the sounds of his more traditionally oriented synths. (By the way, Lionel and I are big fans of his music ... it's not as inaccessible as you might think, and the odd tonalities make his dance pieces a lot of fun.) This is a new idea to a lot of you, and I don't blame you for being frightened. But it's better to learn from someone whose ideas differ from yours than to convince a computer to feed you something safe. I'd like to suggest something simple to start with: get one of Art's sound sets, trigger your Xpander with your drumbox, and try writing music with these sounds as part of the atmosphere rather than conventional drum noises. Or do something completely different. The important thing is to try to expand (hm) your horizons to something new. These sounds of Art's do take getting used to, but I think you'll learn a lot from them. Trust me."

VOID9 MÕNAI

via VOID9

"MÕNAI is a standalone portable multitimbral synthesizer that goes wherever your creativity takes you. The integrated battery eliminates the need for power outlets, while the compact form factor fits comfortably in a backpack. Whether you’re sketching ideas on location or performing on stage, MÕNAI delivers comprehensive synthesis capabilities without compromise.

Planned beta version release: Summer 2026

Every control on MÕNAI is positioned for intuitive access. The 8 endless encoders provide tactile feedback without physical limits, letting you sweep through parameters naturally. Touch-sensitive strips respond to the subtlest gestures – the left strip dedicated to modulation, the right offering multi-touch control across 20cm of expressive surface. The 2-axis joystick adds another dimension of real-time control.

MÕNAI integrates seamlessly into existing setups. USB Host port accepts MIDI controllers, expanding your playing surface. Standard MIDI I/O connects to legacy gear. Four CV outputs – pitch, modulation, velocity, and gate – bridge the gap to modular systems. Line-level audio input lets you process external sources through MÕNAI’s effects. This isn’t an isolated instrument; it’s a hub that enhances your existing workflow.

A Tool for Sonic Exploration
MÕNAI encourages experimentation. The two built-in microphones capture audio for immediate processing or sampling. The pedal input adds hands-free control. The combination of traditional keyboard layout and function keys provides both familiar territory and new possibilities. This is an instrument that rewards curiosity – the more you explore, the more it reveals.

The CNC-machined aluminum enclosure isn’t just aesthetically refined – it’s engineered for durability. Sandblasted and anodized in matte black, the body resists wear while maintaining a professional appearance. The integrated battery means you’re not tethered to power outlets. Whether you’re sketching ideas on a train, performing in a park, or working in a studio without available outlets, MÕNAI adapts to your environment rather than constraining it.

The workflow is immediate. Controls are positioned for intuitive access, with visual feedback from 109 LEDs across the interface. The high-resolution display renders waveforms and parameters clearly. Multiple synthesis engines can run simultaneously, each with dedicated effects and modulation routing. Sequencers maintains precise timing whether you’re working with internal sounds or triggering external gear."

Crawling Toward The Sun by Mike Wallace Featuring the Melbourne Instruments Delia Synthesizer

"Recorded, mixed and mastered by Mike Wallace in 2025, made solely on the Melbourne Instruments Delia synthesizer.

Rooted from a seed, destined to withstand the climb
What started as photosynthetic dreams began the ticking of time.
Slowly sprouting before ones eyes, the journey seemed too far.
The heat of the day caused blooming at night, coloring the sky with stars.

The joy of life was short-lived, as the sky began to mud
In a flash of light, the day went dim and soiled the ground with flood.
Time slows down when rain from heaven finds the plant off guard
The aftermath of lessons in life grows petals back twice as hard
Forced to remain resilient and calm. the plant now moves with ease.
The rain from summer turns frozen for winter-like icicles melting through trees.
With droplets of water penetrating the soil, the ticking of time has begun.
The day is fresh, a now journey awaits, as the plant crawl's back toward the sun.

Generative Patches: Behringer Edge+Crave+Spice Live Jam Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"🟪🟧🟥 ECS Generative is a collection of 25 patches (+Crave patterns) for the semi-modular system by Behringer: EDGE + CRAVE + SPICE.
This genre of sound design is highly popular within modular culture, and the Behringer synths offer an excellent feature set to explore it.
Controlled chaos and randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo shifts, pattern uniqueness, the alternation of short and long sounds, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and FX-like tones, and glitchy bursts throughout sequences — all of these elements are part of the soundset.

How to use S&H, comparators and rectifiers, feat. Worng Electronics Quiver

video upload by Tom Churchill

"This video is all about cool things you can do with some basic utilities in a modular synth. In particular, I want to explain how you can massively expand the sonic range of a basic oscillator with a few simple tricks. I’ll show you a couple of ways to use sample & hold, both at audio rates and for more subtle ‘humanising’ modulation. I’ll explore using a rectifier to create octave-up copies of simple shapes and to transform basic waveforms in more radical ways. I’ll go into extreme PWM territory with a comparator, as well as using it for some pitch-dependent switching to spice up sequences. And I’ll show you how you can use analogue logic processing to turn a mono oscillator into a stereo one."

02:59 Downsamling audio with S&H
06:01 S&H for subtle random modulation
09:00 Octave doubling with a rectifier

Antonus 2600 - Test Drive 2

video upload by Tumeni Knobs

Part 1 here

"This is an extended version of the patch I created for the Antonus 'Patch Challenge'. The 90 second version was featured on their social media sites. :-) I really enjoyed listening to this patch and messing around with it, so thought I should record a longer version. This is a combination of generative and performance patching in that I could let it run for hours and it would be dynamic enough to listen to in the background, but it also was good fun to actively mess around with.

The hardware is the Antonus 2600 DIY version, with the Antonus SidecARP Eurorack expansion case, the Arturia KeyStep Pro and Fractal Audio VP4.

SidecARP modules are, from left to right:
ALM - Pamela's New Workout
Stochastic Instruments - Stochastic Inspiration Generator
Qu-Bit - Surface
Addac - Swell Physics
Molten Modular - Motion MTR
Black Corporation - Deckard's Voice
Make Noise - Mimeophon
Qu-Bit - Nautilus,
ALM - S.B.G Pro
Roland - 531 Mixer

KSP provides a clock signal to PNW and the five step "anchor" arpeggio to the 2600 Osc 1. SIG provides three separate sequences to ARP Osc 3, Surface and Deckard's Voice. The notes are based on the Dm scale. 2600 Osc 2 is LFOing the Cutoff. 2600 Noise is randomly mixed in for added texture. VP4 is used for some subtle flanger and reverb on the 2600 (through the S.B.G. Pro), but I also mix in some clock-sync'd panning and some delay. Surface goes into Nautilus and Deckard goes into Mimeophon. All mixed together in the Roland 531 mixer. Recorded on iPhone 12 Max through an iRig Pro from 531 line outs."

Filtered Synths, Tape Loop Noise & Dub Techno Atmosphere | Onset 2025-11-13 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@NovationTV‬ Circuit, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and a tape loop. It blends filtered synths, delayed drum patterns, and field recordings into a dub-techno soundscape.

On the OP-1 field, vocal samples are used to create chord tones that are looped with the ENDLESS sequencer. The filter is opened and closed at various points to alter the timbre. Reverb is added through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, where the HIGHCUT filter is also adjusted to shape the tone.

A cassette player ‪@WeAreRewind1‬ holds a one-minute endless tape containing field recordings captured in a park. These sounds are processed with ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII and LOSSY, adding micro-loops, reverb, filtering, and textures between noise and ambience.

The Circuit plays the rhythm pattern. Its built-in filter is manipulated during performance, and additional delay is applied using the ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE.
