Vermona drumDING: A New Perspective on Drums
video upload by OoraMusic and vermonagear
"The Vermona drumDING introduces a quietly radical take on the drum machine. Built around a single synth voice, carefully shaped for percussion, it invites you to create your own kits in a direct and immediate way—where sound design becomes part of the moment, not something prepared in advance. Sound, as it happens. Let’s dive in."

ďrøñē âmbīęňț můşĩç / Mushsynth-8 and Noise Lab poly synth by Carlo / Universe Zen TESSERACT
video upload by G I P N O Z E R
"Rain pounded the neon signs, blurring them into oily stains on the wet pavement. The bar smelled of cheap whiskey and despair. I searched for her, the woman with eyes the color of old film, who whispered of "Transcendence"—a sound wave capable of tearing apart the fabric of reality. They said she created it from fragments of forgotten melodies, the whispers of space, and the pain of broken hearts. When I finally found her, she was already broadcasting "Transcendence." The sound penetrated my bones, dissolving the boundaries between me and the world. I closed my eyes, and the city disappeared. In its place was a forest of crystalline trees, and then an ocean where the sky was reflected in every drop. Each wave of "Transcendence" transported me to a new reality, increasingly strange and alien. I lost track of time, lost myself. Now I simply drift between worlds, a prisoner of endless echoes, forever trapped in a sonic loop created by a mad woman with eyes the color of old film. And I know there is no escape. There is only the next sound, the next reality, the next loss.

Compression & Dynamics Patching on Eurorack Modular Synths // Sump Pump by Robots Are Red
video upload by DivKid
"Here we have SUMP PUMP from Robots Are Red (with circuit design from Setonix Synth). It's a 6HP stereo Eurorack noise gate that can also invert its behaviour into a compressor and with the 'floor' control it can also be an expander. We've 3 umbrella sections in the video with compression, noise gate and sidechain ducking techniques. Check out the patches and let us know which is your favourite. There's also an exclusive run down of the dirty bass patch on / divkid"
*TIMING INDEX // CHAPTERS*
00:00 Intro & previews
01:00 What are we doing & feature run down
PATCHES // COMPRESSION
03:17 Setting up compression on beats
06:05 Adding excitement to thick distorted bass with expansion
08:17 Reshaping chords with compression
PATCHES // NOISE GATE
10:00 From basic to creative noise gates
13:56 “Beat density” with floor control (thanks to RAR for the idea!)
PATCHES // DUCKING & SIDECHAIN
17:48 Big dumb bass ducking - good fun & how to set it up
19:34 Creatively duck ambient FX - I love this mixing/production trick
It's a noise gate, it's a noise suppressor, it's a compressor, it's an expander, it's stereo.
The Specs and Stats:
Width: 6hp
- Attack and Release knob for envelope(s)
- Threshold for suppression/compression (0V - ~8V)
- Floor controls the amount of suppression/compression from -100dB to Unity and even up to +10dB for expanding the louds louder or make the quiets a bit louder.
- Level controls your overall output level
- Gate/Comp switch: When in "Gate" mode, whenever the input falls BELOW the threshold level, the envelope will engage towards the floor setting. When in "Comp" mode, the envelope will trigger when the input rises ABOVE the threshold setting.
-Stereo inputs and outputs. The envelope follower is assigned to the Left input, so the L input can also be used as a sidechain input for a mono signal (into In-R).
- Engage input. This is a gate input for manually engaging the envelope.
- Threshold CV input. This offsets from your knob position.
- Floor CV input. This also offsets from your knob position.
- Duck CV Input. This is an envelope follower input that applies and inverted envelope to the level of the signal. Send a simple pulse or trigger, an actual kick, an envelope, or anything else into this to duck your signal.
-Envelope Output. The envelope Output does not follow the "floor" settings and always outputs a full voltage envelope.
Special thanks to SetonixSynth and many others for really helping make this module a reality.

Synapse Audio Obsession: 60 Cinematic Ambient Presets Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"🌃 Synapse Audio Obsession - Posthuman Dreams is a collection of 60 dark cinematic ambient presets. It includes: 8 Basses, 9 Keys, 9 Synths, 8 Leads, 7 Pads, 5 Strings, 5 Drones, 9 Textures.
📺 The soundset draws inspiration from sci-fi movies, cinematic soundtracks, dystopian worlds, urban landscapes, noise ambient albums, experimental modern art, and contemporary sound design.
📦 The presets are available here: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/obse...
📼 Built around the concept of imperfection, the collection blends gritty, lo-fi textures with constantly shifting timbres shaped through deep modulation.
The result is a living, breathing set of sounds—expressive, characterful, and capable of adding a distinctive atmosphere to any track, live performance, or visual project.
📻 The timbral range is wide and diverse, covering dark, noisy, lo-fi, retro, romantic, melancholic, nostalgic, atmospheric, detuned, cold, distant, dull, massive, epic, bright, orchestral, distorted, metallic, tense, atonal, non-harmonic, FX-like, evolving, and sweeping textures.
🎛 All patches are velocity-sensitive. The ModWheel enhances expressiveness by adding motion and tonal variation—brightening the sound, introducing vibrato, shifting timbre, or adding extra movement for dynamic and engaging performance.
💡 Ensure that you are using the latest software version.
To add presets to the collection, open the plugin Browser, click Menu in the upper left corner, then select Import Folder, and specify the folder on your computer."

"The Computone Lyricon II is a vintage electronic wind synthesizer developed in the 1970s that allows musicians to control synthesizer sounds using breath and fingerings similar to a saxophone. It converts breath pressure and key movements into electronic signals that shape pitch, volume, and expression.
Unlike earlier versions, the Lyricon II includes a built in analog synthesizer so it can generate sounds on its own. It is considered one of the earliest and most influential wind controllers, helping inspire later instruments like the Akai EWI!
Please note: it will require a replacement reed to be fully playable. Replacement reeds are available and commonly replaced as part of normal maintenance on Lyricon instruments.
This particular unit was recently serviced in house and received a clean bill of health. The instrument is functioning as intended and ready for use. Includes original carrying case and appropriate cables as shown."

Kaona Sisyphus V2: Experimental Textures
video upload by Kaona Modular Music
"Quelques variations expérimentales autour des nouvelles patterns de Sisyphus. Nous avons rendu la version 2 beaucoup plus malléable en traquant les glitchs, les craquements et les auto-oscillations les plus violentes. En revanche, nous avons conservé, et même renforcé, tout ce qui faisait de Sisyphus un instrument de recherche et d’expérimentation pour toutes les musiques, même les plus expérimentales !
Plus d'informations ici :
https://www.kaona.fr/index.php/fr/pro...
A few experimental variations around the new Sisyphus patterns. We made version 2 much more flexible by hunting down glitches, crackles, and the most violent self-oscillations. At the same time, we kept — and even enhanced — everything that made Sisyphus an instrument for research and experimentation across all kinds of music, even the most experimental.

Genki Instruments Katla #2 | Winterdagen
video upload by Winterdagen
"Here's another patch on the gorgeous @genkiinstruments Katla synthesizer.
For this keys patch I made use of Katla's voice rotation, with one of 5 voices tuned an octave higher than the rest, resulting in unpredictable pitch jumps in the melody, which I love. I didn't make use of Katla's oscillators for this patch, in stead the sound is coming from the filter with the resonance fully up, which tracks pitch very nicely when tuned with the simple calibration mode of holding down the two filter mode knobs.
I'm a big fan of these singing filter sine waves, which always feel a tiny bit unstable which makes them sound magical. To top it off I'm modulating the panning of the voices, I blended in some of Katla's lovely noise for some warble and I added some of the amazing internal reverb, which reminds me a bit of my Vongon Ultrasheer. I love this sound so much and I've never heard any other synth make it quite like this!
You don't see me playing the keys in the video, but I played this patch for hours, instant inspiration really. This melody is came out of that improvisation.
Thank you for watching!
ps. sine waves generally don't translate all that well on phone/laptop speakers, so speakers/earbuds/headphones advised.
Katla is shipping as of this week, find more info at: https://genki.is/"

enjoy the first sounds of the magnificent YAMAHA CS80 after a long time of restoring its very unique sonic soul. There are still a few things to fix, but it sounds already glorious. What do you think about the modified chorus (now a flanger style effect)?
