WAEVE82 First Play


video upload by The 5th Volt

"This is my first time playing with the WAEVE82 wavetable synthesizer from tangible waves. Here in the VF mini package complete with full MIDI and audio connectivity and MultiFX module for lush reverbs, shimmers and a dozen other effects. I'll make more tutorial style videos over the next few weeks, but wanted to give you a taste of what it sounds like. Personally I think it sounds amazing, but you be the judge!

This module can be found at the tangible waves website:
https://tangiblewaves.com

All sounds recorded directly from the rack into my H6 recorder with minimal EQ and compression in Da Vinci Resolve."

Big beat semi modular grungy groove | Double Knot, PO-33, Etherealizer


video upload by Lo-Fi-Si

"Lorre Mill Double Knot V3
Pocket Operator PO-33 KO!
Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer

This was supposed to be an ambient, gentle random sequence combined with quiet beats. But it turned into this within minutes.

First time syncing the PO-33 to anything and it worked perfectly. Quickly created a beat then tweaked the Etherealizer to dial in the granular and delay effects for the Double Knot."

Rescaling the ContinuuMini Surface using PTE (10.6x or later firmware required)


video upload by EaganMatrix Programming

"One way to use the Pitch Table Editor (must be running 10.09 or 10.6x firmware or later) to rescale the Continuum/ContinuuMini surface to play a limited pitch set (Heptatonic scale here) when quantized or when Initial Rounding is on. 10.52 does not support PTE due to a firmware issue solved in 10.6x."

Turning the Otamatone into a Trautonium

Parapulse – Morphing Noise Generator for Eurorack Modular by Orpho


video upload by HOX808

"Parapulse is a Eurorack noise generator with an integrated filter and frequency modulation. From crisp white noise to warm pink noise, it opens up a wide range of textures, atmospheric layers, and organic impulses.

From icy fog and cosmic dust to Geiger counter clicks, paranormal intergalactic tones, and fine vinyl crackle, *Parapulse* puts noise in motion.

In this demo video, Parapulse is used together with the Bode Frequency Shifter for sound manipulation. CV control is also provided by the [Orpho Voltglider (https://www.orpho.de/voltglider/) and a CV joystick.

More information at [www.orpho.de](https://www.orpho.de)"



Googlish (original German below):

The Parapulse Noise Generator—equipped with an integrated filter, frequency modulation, and the ability to transition seamlessly from white to pink noise—offers a rich palette of soundscapes for experimental musicians and sound designers. The module provides a wide variety of noise types, ranging from crisp, high-frequency white noise to soft, deep pink noise, making it ideal for generating atmospheric textures or serving as a foundation for percussive elements and effects. The built-in filter allows users to precisely shape the frequency content of the noise, enabling the creation of both subtle timbres and dramatic effects. Frequency modulation further expands the sonic spectrum by facilitating dynamic shifts and modulations within the noise, resulting in complex sonic textures. The seamless adjustment between noise colors—free of audible steps or interruptions—offers a unique level of flexibility and control that would not be possible with a conventional white noise generator.

Original German:

Der Parapulse Noise-Generator, ausgestattet mit einem integrierten Filter, Frequenzmodulation und der Möglichkeit, nahtlos von weißem zu rosa Rauschen zu wechseln, bietet eine reiche Palette an Soundlandschaften für experimentelle Musiker und Sounddesigner. Das Modul bietet eine Vielzahl von Rauscharten, von klarem, hochfrequentem weißem Rauschen bis hin zu weichem, tiefem rosa Rauschen, ideal für die Erzeugung atmosphärischer Texturen oder als Grundlage für perkussive Elemente und Effekte. Das eingebaute Filter ermöglicht es dem Benutzer, die Frequenzanteile des Rauschens präzise zu formen, um sowohl subtile Klangfarben als auch dramatische Effekte zu erzielen. Die Frequenzmodulation erweitert das klangliche Spektrum zusätzlich, indem sie dynamische Veränderungen und Modulationen im Rauschen ermöglicht, was zu komplexen Klangtexturen führt. Die nahtlose Einstellung zwischen den Rauschfarben ohne hörbare Schritte oder Unterbrechungen bietet eine einzigartige Flexibilität und Kontrolle, was mit einem herkömmlichen White-Noise-Generator so nicht möglich wäre.

The Crow Hill Company Introduces the THE SH*T SYNTH


The Sh*t Synth - Walkthrough video upload by CROW HILL XTRAS

Press release follows:


The Crow Hill Company turns to extensive and rare collection to turn out THE SH*T SYNTH as compendium of 48 circuit-, wave- and sample-bent instruments

EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to turn to its own extensive and rare collection of hardware to turn out THE SH*T SYNTH — available as a compendium of 48 circuit-, wave- and sample-bent instruments inspired by some of the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s eclectic musical favourites (spanning the likes of Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Joe Maus, Jon Brion, Laurie Spiegel, Radiohead, Throbbing Gristle, and Yazoo) to create something that they collectively ask: is it just shit or ‘the shit’? — as of April 7…

Whatever way anyone chooses to read into the titling of THE SH*T SYNTH as the latest entry into The Crow Hill’s ongoing ORIGINS series of sample-based virtual instrument plug-ins, one thing is for sure: it readily represents a broad selection of three categories of 16 workhorse instruments each, effectively wrapped up into a single plug-in designed to bring a cohesive approach to making music more edgy, lo-fi, retro, and — swimming against the technological tide of so-called progress — decidedly AI (Artificial Intelligence) slop-free. From pianos to strings, plucks, beeps, bass, and pads, the compendium that is THE SH*T SYNTH has been lovingly sculpted by the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s media composer and ‘samplist-in-residence’ Christian Henson to take the hassle out of making existing sounds less refined, catering to those looking for an entirely new bank of Mellotron-style sounds as well as synths that have been long forgotten — for good reason, too!

Getting Started: Patching with Mults in Eurorack


video upload by Noise Engineering

"When patching your modular system, it’s common to want one signal to control multiple things. Mults, short for multiples, simply split one signal into several copies.

As part of our Getting Started series, here's our blog that goes over the types of mults and how they can bring a patch to life:

'SIEGFRIED' | VC RES EQ + VBR | Serge Modular | Episode 11


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The VC RES EQ is big, very big and the VBR (Variable Bandwidth Filter) makes it even bigger. But even then, it's not a combo that would appeal to the 'mainstream' eurorack audience. The 4U version joins both modules under one panel and is called 'SIEGFRIED', inspired by Wagner's dragonslayer in the classic Ring des Nibelungen epic 15 hour opera which ends in Ragnarok - the Apocalyptic end of the Gods. Now that's a much better setting! We need mist, heroes, dragons, Gods and something close to Mount Doom. Tolkien didn't like Wagner's work at all, in fact, he hated it. With this eurorack combo you can now create your own adventure, keep the ring for yourself and throw Frodo into Mount Doom.

This is one of my favorite videos so far and I just LOVE the sound of the VC RES EQ. The VBR is added to tame the harsh sounds that often come from the 'pet dragon', but if you play it with your fingertips, prepare for myths and legends.

As always, this video is not sponsored, but I am enjoying a small 'artist discount' from Random*Source because I make videos like this. Dear Serge, if you're watching this, THANK YOU for being Serge and thank you Random*Source for keeping the legend vibrant, alive and kicking."

Genki Instruments Katla #3 | Winterdagen


video upload by Winterdagen

"Time to put Katla through the arp test! Feeding Katla some arpeggiated chords, does it sound full enough? Are the envelopes plucky enough? Is it easy to keep interest up while playing with the synth parameters? I'd say absolutely, but you can judge for yourself!

I love the fact that Katla's envelopes can be both super slow as wel as super plucky. And Katla's super lush reverb really steals the show here:)"

Korg Phase8 Sequenced by Ableton Live in the Context of a Film Score


video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

As the title states, I just wanted to show how you can sequence the ‪@KORG_INC‬ Phase8 with ‪@Ableton‬ Live. I used three MIDI tracks to sequence the Phase8, with each MIDI track played live into Ableton via my Waldorf Quantum (as my main controller.) I also added some quick, rough film score elements towards the end to show the Phase8 in a full musical context."

GHOST pedal vs 303 shootout with new V4 Firmware Update


video upload by Endorphin.es

"New GHOST Pedal V4 firmware update available now:
https://www.endorphin.es/modules/p/gh...

TB-303 ready: added a more 'squashed / pressed' response so acid lines feel dense and consistent, with better note-to-note stability
cleaner high-gain: reduced hiss and unwanted artifacts at extreme drive settings while keeping the same aggressive maximum gain range.
more musical dynamics: improved touch response and transient control so the drive feels more alive instead of flat
new 'Fairfax'-style, asymmetrical drive character: smoother, more amp-like breakup with a tighter feel and richer mid harmonics
dive more stable at high sample rate (96 kHz): optimized oversampling/filtering for premium distortion quality without CPU spikes.
What type of drive is it? It’s a high-gain soft-clip overdrive / distortion: amp-like saturation at lower settings, and full distortion territory at high drive with smoother harmonics and more sustain.
hall reverb is lusher: denser diffusion + more modulation depth gives a wider, more spacious 'big hall' feel
predelay for all reverbs is smoother: knob adjustments are cleaner with fewer artifacts while turning.
reverse reverb is more polished: improved wet shaping and saturation for smoother, more musical reverse tails.
spring stereo behavior improved: more consistent left/right output and a more natural 'drip' feel.
more stable LRRL and LRLR taps behavior: they pass properly thru the LP/HP tone filter inside the delay tank
creamier resonance: resonance behavior is more musical, with less clipping at extreme resonance sweeps.
comb filtering smoother when tweaking: reduced zipper/crackle when moving controls; more stable, playable comb textures.
delay: 7/4 divider changed to 3/8 (=dotted 1/16), 5/4 divider changed to 2/3 (=triplet 1/4). Meanwhile 3/4 = dotted 1/8, 3/2 = dotted 1/4, 1/3 = 1/8 triplet are working as is
dividers knob action inverted to properly match the scales around the knob
dry and wet properly phase aligned with less chorusing - still any MIX with filters applied may cause phasing effects which are unavoidable
hall reverb is selected after soft reset (to defaults parameters)
fixed an issue where very fast MIDI preset switching by Program change could cause the pedal to freeze."
