Morphor ECHON 6 #1 | Winterdagen
video upload by Winterdagen
"I feel like I'm in synth heaven these days. I was lucky enough to get my hands on the new ECHON 6 from Morphor, which is a gorgeous sounding, super unique synth: a 6 voice polyphonic analogue BBD resonator synthesizer. Yep, that's quite the mouth full. In a nutshell it's one part analogue poly synth, one part analogue BBD chip physical modeling synth.
I've been a big fan of physical modeling kind of synths for some time, and Morphor's take on this concept is the most special one I've come across so far. I know this type of synthesis mostly from either quite complex plugins, or Eurorack stuff such as Rings and Surface. Morphor has managed to take this concept into an analogue desktop format and it's super special. In this little sketch I'm exploring quite typical karplus-strong like plucks, but feeding in some sine wave oscillator, having full ADSR control over the the exciter, and having BBD chips as resonators, makes for a super expressive sound.
Apart from its amazing sound, ECHON 6 is also beautifully built. One of the most sturdy, smooth and well built synths I have ever come across. One of its superpowers is that it also has an absolutely amazing and intuitive modulation section, which I'll tell you more about in some following videos (I've been making a lot!). Thanks so much for letting me explore this beauty, Morphor!

Novation Peak Review: Still the Benchmark in 2026
video upload by Sineway
"Novation Peak review after nearly a year of real use - in tracks, in live performances, alongside the Digitakt II and Launch Control XL 3.
Novation sent me the Peak a year ago and I told them upfront that I might not review it, because I prefer to make music, not gear reviews. But after all these tracks, I think there are three things about this synth more people should know about, so I want to share my take on it.

A Prophet-5 Style Stereo Filter: Thonk DOUBLE BUBBLE Demo
video upload by mylarmelodies
"A good ol' filter demo like it's 2008, except it's '26! Thonk's Double Bubble is a stereo Prophet 5-style "2040" DIY-kit filter (and VCO!) with crossmod and feedback capabilities that can make it go from classic to nuts.
Thonk hired me to demo this module in a video. Thanks Thonk! This thing really is a beaut (and their VCO is really good, myself and Divkid were playing with one the other day and it tracked the best part of 10 octaves)."

Giorgio Sancristoforo's Homework Now Available
You find demos in previous posts here.
Details via Giorgio Sancristoforo:
"Homework is an experimental modular standalone workstation.
A four tracks portastudio-like cassette recorder with granular, reverb, echo and saturation effects, plus two classic modular synthesizers of the 70s.
The synths integrate with the tape recorder and the effects, thanks to a generous number of patch points placed directly on the recorder panel.
Homework is a powerful electronic experimental echo-system where fantasy is the only real limit and vintage warm sound is paramount!
THE EYE OF HORUS
is a modular synth carefully modelled after the west coast paradigm with some peculiar features like two Tropical Additive Synthesis Oscillators, a Hybrid Putney Filter, a Triple Variable State BP Filter, a Tropical Shaper, a Comparator and a double sequencer and clock.
Like the 1970s models which inspired it The Eye Of Horus is wild, organic and warm!
SONDA
is a modular synthesizer designed for drones, and inspired by the instrument popularized by the French composer and synthesist Eliane Radigue. Five multi-waveforms oscilaltors, two multi-mode variable state filters/resonators, two modulators/amplifiers, one LPF 24 dB filter, a 7 channel mixer and a special very slow triple low frequency oscillator.
Available for Mac OS (M processors suggested) at giorgiosancristoforo.net"

"Shadowbox is a lightweight Raspberry Pi runtime/control layer for RNBO patches: it runs on the Pi, discovers or connects to an RNBO runner, and provides a small hardware-oriented interface for viewing and adjusting patch parameters. In short, it turns a Pi into a self-contained, tactile RNBO instrument/controller box.

Analog Chaos: Hikari Instruments DUOS & Decade Bridge Duet (Live Improvisation)
video upload by Andre Bregegere
"A live, improvised exploration of rhythmic chaos and textural filtering. This performance centers on the interaction between the Hikari Instruments DUOS and the Decade Bridge Duet, captured in a single take.
The Gear:
• Hikari Instruments DUOS: A unique, pulse-based analog synthesizer and chaos generator. It features two cross-modulating oscillators that create unpredictable, organic rhythmic patterns and harsh, complex textures.
• Decade Bridge DUET: A versatile dual analog filter (VCF). In this set, it acts as the primary sculpting tool, processing the DUOS’s raw output to add movement, resonance, and tonal depth.
This set was recorded live as a single stereo track. To preserve the raw energy of the improvisation, post-production was kept to a minimum, with light mixing and mastering in Pro Tools.

Diving deep into Clock Bender, a novel trigger generator from ADDAC System
video upload by Perceptes and ADDAC System
"In this video, we'll be diving deep into Clock Bender, a new Eurorack module from ADDAC System that generates constantly changing trigger patterns from an input clock signal."
"This module introduces a unique approach to rhythm, it can add complexity to any pattern by superimposing extremely odd divisions creating syncopation and rhythmic complexity. It provides extensive possibilities for rhythmic creation, transforming static rhythmic patterns into dynamic and complex rhythmic layering enhancing the rhythmic foundation set by the primary clock. It allows users to explore and generate rhythms in previously unattainable ways.
The module operates by taking an input clock signal and generating two new independent outputs that dynamically accelerates or decelerates the BPM toward a user-defined destination BPM over a specified number of beats. Meaning that the output generation is never constant, they will always be dynamically accelerating or decelerating, where no interval between two pulses is the same, the current interval will always be shorter or longer than the previous interval.
This principle will generate unique metrics that when played against the main clock will create extremely unique patterns, from simple swing /syncopation to beyond free-jazz completely unexpected while mathematically justified metrics.
Tech Specs:
8HP
4.5cm deep
110mA on +12V
20mA on -12v"

Heritage Modular - Heritage Synthesizers - Live coding | SynthFest France 2026
video upload by SynthFest France
YouTube is doing its annoying voiceover auto-dubbing on my end. You can enable CC on the bottom of the player and you can mute the sound if you want. You can find the full playlist of SynthFest France 2026 Presentations here.
"Discover the latest evolutions of Heritage Modular, the polyphonic modular synthesizer with presets, with "Delicate Shadows": keyboard, Erae 2, and live coding reveal its multitimbral richness.
As with any creative endeavor, in the beginning, there is nothing… Then comes the encounter of an idea or two, or three, with the machine, THE machine, THE synthesizer that fills your sonic space with its rich sounds.
The moonlit night reveals 'delicate shadows,' like the harmonics of the Heritage Modular's sounds. From this, the track 'Delicate Shadows' was born, to expand the dimensions of the synthesizer itself, to fill the space of a room, if only for a few minutes.
It is the combination of three areas of expertise that allowed this music to come into being: the composition of a gentle, almost melancholic melody; the mastery of the code that makes the speaker diaphragms vibrate; and the electronic design that carries the electrical signal through the circuits, allowing it to vibrate freely.
