"The pieces start coming together.

After 2+ years of development. Meet Nopia MK1

We’re super grateful for living the dream of engineering this instrument to the highest level possible. Fascinated by the thought of each of you playing it.

Nopia is a semi-modular harmony generator. It features an onboard multitimbral sound engine, a hybrid of sampled instruments and onboard virtual analog synths. A 5 step effects chain, dedicated per module MIDI outs, multitouch strum plate, the list goes on! You’re welcome to visit our refreshed website nopia.io and check out the final spec sheet if this is something you’re curious about.

Muchas gracias amigues!"

New Open Source Virtual Pipe Organ Project: Rusty Pipes

This one is in via DS:

"Hey Matrixitians!

I'm writing in to announce a new MIDI-controlled Virtual Pipe Organ software called "Rusty Pipes".

It's a sample-based organ synth with support for GrandOrgue and (unencrypted) Hauptwerk sample sets. It features 32 bit internal audio mixing, full MIDI support with extremely flexible channel routing, integrated audio and MIDI recording of performances, convolution reverb, and an innovative sample streaming mode that makes it possible to play very large sample sets with a minimal amount of RAM, yet without increasing latency!

Other unique features include a REST API for things like pulling stops - great for people who like to build physical consoles - and optional text mode support (via Ratatui) which makes this ideal for running on headless setups or on a RaspberryPi.

Rusty Pipes is a clean-room implementation written 100% in Rust, available free and open source under the GPL v2. Version 1.3.0 supports over 20 languages including Latin and Klingon, and is available for Linux, Mac and Windows. Debian and Arch (AUR) packages are provided as well.

video upload by riffers

via this Reverb listing

"Early British classic with that gritty, punchy analogue character.
Recently serviced: every pad triggers reliably; no noisy pots.
Original flat-pack box included. All-original hardware.
Serial (no. 242) on chassis; “Made in England” plate intact.
Set a tempo, balance the per-voice levels, and you’ve got a solid groove in seconds—no menus, no programming detours. The tactile pads invite quick ideas (fills, accents, breaks) and the adjustable pad sensitivity lets you dial in the “human” feel that helps parts sit in a song. Its distinct British analogue tone layers well with samplers/DAWs: track it straight in for gritty loops, one-shot it for kits, or re-amp it through pedals for textures. It doubles as a dependable writing click with character, so riffs and basslines arrive faster.

Fast, hands-on layout. Front-panel rotary controls are primarily per-voice level/volume (plus master TEMPO and LEVEL).

Pad feel is responsive; use the rear trimmers to dial sensitivity for dynamics or hard, machine-tight hits.

Multiple 1/4" jacks along the top panel for audio connections (see close-ups).

Power: 9V battery operation or 9V DC mains adapter (PSU not included).

Condition

Fully working. Pads all trigger; sensitivity trimmers on the underside let you set your preferred feel. Cosmetic wear from age and use: scuffs/scratches and some discolouration; a few rubber feet missing (see photos).

Included

MPC the KIT unit
Original flat-pack/knock-down box"

Selmer Companion Electric Reed Organ SN 152

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by riffers

via this Reverb listing

"Selmer Companion reed organ from the 60s. In tune and wonderfully “parlour-harmonium”: bright, reedy mids with a gentle breathiness on the attack, then a steady, organ-like sustain from the blower. The chord buttons give an instant drone bed with that slightly nasal, woody timbre that cuts through without ever getting harsh. Think small chapel/folk harmonium vibes—perfect for drones, hymnal pads, psych-folk textures, lo-fi soundtrack cues, and vintage pop hooks. Hear it in the demo (skip to last photo). Typical vintage tuning and keybed feel; expect minor variance vs modern concert pitch.

Features

Classic electric reed organ with compact keyboard and built-in blower/speaker
Left-hand chord section: Major & Minor buttons (C, G, D, A, F, B♭) for instant accompaniment
On/off/level control, integrated flip-up music rest in the lid, suitcase-style cabinet with carry handle 1960s/70s Italian vibe: gold fascia, cream case, and period hardware
Sounds exactly like you want a small electric harmonium to sound—see the demo"

via this Reverb listing

"Serial Nº 21196

Italian-made CRB “Diamond” Cavendish Combo 30 in remarkable condition for its age. Classic combo-organ tones plus a built-in “mini-band” (bass + drums) make it a fun, self-contained writing and performance machine. Built in Ancona under CRB’s Diamond/Cavendish line.

Organ section: Flutes, Clarinets, Reeds, Strings

Presets: Piano, Spinet, Harpsichord

Effects: Sustain and Vibrato (both sound great)

Mini-band (auto-accompaniment)

Drum patterns: Waltz, March, Tango, Bossa Nova, Samba, Slow Rock, Boogie, Disco — all with variable tempo/volume; very much in the vein of early CR-series drum machines.

Bass accompaniment with automatic chords, Free 1-Finger, Memory, and chord quality switching (Major default; Minor/7th via yellow/green buttons).

External output, headphone out
Expression pedal input
Built-in speaker that’s quaint yet surprisingly punchy
UK mains power - we can include a step-up/step-down transformer on request so you can use it in your country without modification, just ask for details."

(Video) *Serviced* 1970s Wersi Entertainer Compact German Combo Organ w/ Big Rhythms

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by riffers

via this Reverb listing

"Back with another charmer: the Wersi Entertainer—that unmistakable 1970s/80s German home-organ vibe in a slimline, wood-cased package. Heavy, driving rhythm section (like only the Germans can), lush organ tabs, and built-in speakers for instant fun.

Set a tempo, punch in a style (March, Samba, Slow Rock, Waltz, Beat, Swing), and layer chords with Auto-Chord while you hunt melodies on the upper keys. The rhythms are steady and weighty enough to act as a “groove grid,” so song ideas arrive quickly. The on-panel balance/volume lets you sketch arrangements (pad vs lead vs rhythm) in seconds, and the bold, simple voicings sit in a mix without fuss—great for writing hooks, auditioning progressions, or tracking guide parts straight into a DAW.

Features

Voices via coloured tabs: Horn 16', Tibia 16'/8', Klarinette, Perc 8', Vibrato, Auto Chord.
Rhythm presets: March, Samba, Slow Rock, Walzer, Beat, Swing with Start/Stop and Tempo.
Onboard stereo speakers for plug-and-play use.
Rear panel: pitch trim, external amplifier output (DIN), 12V battery input, and external speaker connection.
Compact, wood-veneer cabinet with Wersi badging.
Rear panel: external amplifier out, 12V battery input, external speaker out (2–8 Ω), pitch trim.
Condition

Fully functioning: all keys, tabs and rhythms tested and working. Clean overall with light cosmetic wear consistent with age; see photos for close-ups."

nonlinearcircuits Introduces 4HP NEURON

video upload by cirtcele

"This module is a 4HP version of the NLC 8HP Neuron & Difference Rectifier.

The differences are half the panel real estate, SMD components, LEDs to indicate activity and one less input on the Neuron (2 instead of 3).

From the original version description -

The Neuron was inspired by a paper on neural computing and is a variation of a typical analogue neuron circuit. It can be used as a complex audio waveshaper, gate or pulse generator, CV shaper or to generally mess things up. The diff-rect is a hybrid of two basic op amp ‘building blocks’ – a difference circuit and a rectifier. Not sure if I have ever seen the two merged together before. It is probably a bad idea except for synth use, where it is a wonderful idea!

The Difference Rectifier has 4 inputs (two + & two -) and two outputs. The Neuron has 3 2 inputs and one output, the pots control when the neuron will react to incoming signals and how much it will react."

OP-1 Field Firmware 1.5 Explained: Multi-Channel USB Audio, Amp Synth & Tape Updates

video upload by Noisegate

"Teenage Engineering have dropped a huge firmware update for the OP-1 Field, and it might be the most important one yet. In this video, we take a hands-on look at firmware 1.5, covering multi-channel USB audio, the new Amp input synth, count-in recording for tape, tape and drum crossfades, and other workflow improvements.

We also show how the OP-1 Field now works as a 10-channel USB audio interface, including routing individual tape tracks into a DAW or a USB-compliant mixer like the TX-6. If you are already using the OP-1 Field, or thinking about adding one to your setup, this update seriously changes what the instrument can do."

Szumofon. Шумофон.

video upload by VladimirRadiomay

"Звуковой инструмент Шумофон. С добавлением тональности.
Когда-то в польском журнале Радиоэлектроник, в 1984-м году была
опубликована схема клавишного инструмента Szumofon.
Потом её опубликовали в журнале Радио. (1985. N10).
И вот по идеям этого Шумофона сделан такой инструмент.
Как соло и отдельно, он вряд ли самодостаточен и интересен, но с ревербератором
и в комплекте с какими то другими инструментами и для эффектов в какой то композиции
вполне может быть использован."

Googlish:

"The Szumofon sound instrument. With added tonality.
Back in 1984, the Polish magazine Radioelektronik published a circuit diagram for a keyboard instrument called the Szumofon.
Later, it was published in the magazine Radio (1985, No. 10).
And this instrument is based on the ideas of that Szumofon.
As a solo instrument, it is unlikely to be self-sufficient or interesting, but with a reverberator and in combination with other instruments, and for effects in a composition, it can certainly be used."

Minimal House with Modular Click Textures and SIRIN Bass | Weird Receipt 2025-12-16 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ SIRIN, ‪@RossumElectroMusic‬ Assimil8or, and Mutable Instruments Plaits.

It is a minimal house track built on an even four-on-the-floor kick, with fine-grained rhythmic details layered on top.

Both the modular system and the SIRIN are triggered via MIDI from Ableton.

On the Moog SIRIN, the bassline is performed while the filter cutoff is continuously adjusted to shape the tone.

The Assimil8or receives MIDI from LOCUTUS to generate rhythmic parts. Some sounds are modulated with CV from a Quad LFO, turning them into click-like textures.

Effects are occasionally applied using CLOUDS. The kick and clave are routed through separate outputs: the clave passes through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, the click sounds through MOOD MKII, and the kick through a Bass Driver DI.

The Plaits module plays harmonic elements, which are also occasionally processed through a CLOUDS clone. The output is routed through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky to add reverb"
