via the maker:
"I made a free VST3/AU plugin called Robin Control Lite. It's a simple monophonic round robin style-sampler that features controlled randomization for all parameters. It's a simple concept, but I created it primarily to facilitate the sample randomization for sound design projects.
Dead Simple UX/UI: Every MIDI key triggers the current sample pool at its natural pitch, with controls designed for quick, intuitive adjustments.
True Monophonic Round Robin Playback: Samples cycle intelligently in series or random order so no two hits ever sound identical — essential for natural-sounding SFX and percussion
"Luke and Tom chat about a subject that will have affected almost everyone involved in electronic music production at some point: gear acquisition syndrome (GAS) - the uncontrollable urge to buy new music equipment. They talk about their own experiences with buying and selling synths and recording gear, and reveal what they’d keep if they were marooned on a desert island with only three power points.

It started as a simple synth-tom experiment, but gradually evolved into a much more flexible percussion synth capable of producing deep kicks, toms, short noisy hits, laser-like sounds and all kinds of strange electronic percussion.
RudeBox is played dynamically from an external drum pad, with hit velocity affecting the generated sound. Its controls allow shaping the oscillator, pitch envelope, amplitude decay and transient click/noise:
• *Novation Bass Station II* — bass / synth lines • *Korg Volca Sample* — additional drums and samples • *Allen & Heath ZEDi-10* — mixing everything together
The idea behind RudeBox was to build something simple, immediate and playable rather than another menu-driven digital instrument. Despite running on an ESP32, it behaves much more like a small piece of dedicated hardware: plug in a pad, turn the knobs and play.
"Meet the keypad version of Samplotron — my DIY hardware sampler and loop player built around the ESP32.
In this demo I’m using Samplotron to trigger samples and loops live. Some of the sounds are my own recordings, while others come from publicly available sample sources.
What you hear is the direct audio output from Samplotron — no post-processing, EQ, compression or additional effects were added to the recorded audio track.
You can also see another one of my DIY projects in action: a small oscilloscope I built, displaying the audio waveform in real time.
"oh dear, what do we have here? an @illuminationent minion on the hunt for the perfect instrument? oh wow, our minion found the @roland_aus Go Keys 3 Minion Edition! what a happy day :)

NOTE: this is the first demo to feature the MiniMOO on MATRIXSYNTH. The only other post to featuring the MiniMOO dates back to this screenshot in 2007. The site linked there, Church of the 16th bit, is still live!
"Quick look at the Electric Cow Sound Chip Synth (aka MiniMOO) for Atari STE/STFM/TT/Falcon - including it's features and sound demos. This programme lets you access and edit parametes of the Yamaha YM soundchip to create sounds and play them back via MIDI. It's fairly decent synth tbh - the oscillator has various detuning, sub osc / 'stacking' options, capable of some nice chorus-y sounds, a noise source, amplitude modulation and LFO for pitch modulation as well as an envelope that can either be used for pitch or amplitude. The latency is useable with MIDI data that does not have too many notes per bar, and you can play it in real time, but if you throw too many notes at it, it gets a bit latent and/or seems to buffer notes and play them back after a delay. Judging by the name, I guess it was meant to be a MiniMoog emulator if sorts - but that's dubious at best despite that it's a really solid bleep bloop machine!

"Minimal ambient music built from evolving minimal phrases and synthesizer performances.
This piece was created with the Prophet-10, OP-1 field, and MS-20.
On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed through the blueSky with reverb.
On the OP-1 field, phrases are played and gradually varied using the ENDLESS sequencer. The MOOD MKII layers micro loop effects over the sound.
Toward the end, a sustained MS-20 tone processed through the MICROCOSM reverb is layered into the piece while the filter cutoff on the Prophet-10 is gradually opened."
Both a Moog Rogue and Grandmother are in the studio. Let's do a comparison face off today. Oscillators, Sync, Filter, Envelopes, and Noise. Do they have the same basic Moog tone? Where there is feature overlap can I get them to sound the same? Which of them wins the day for you? Raw audio recorded direct via Roland GO:Mixer Pro-X, no post process eq or compression added. Listen w/ headphones or studio monitors to get the full experience!

"Всем привет!
Недавно получил вот такого малыша из Китая с именем M-Vave FM-1, и прежде чем сделать библиотеку звуков для него, я решил сделать обзор. Этот маленький DX7 стоит того чтобы уделять ему внимание.

Итак давайте по порядку, ниже я сделал таймлайн по видео:
While composing a few demo tracks for Insurgent Circuits for @MartinicCom Prodigy, I decided to make a screen recording of one of the tracks while I was creating it: Prodigy Pulse.
At the end, you’ll hear the finished result. I don’t usually record my production sessions, so this is a rare behind-the-scenes look at how I put a track together. Hopefully, you’ll pick up a thing or two along the way.
"Traveler meets Liminal Space 2 RC5, and things are getting gloriously spacious! Your old pal Keith is pairing KeySolutions Sounds' beautiful new synthesizer VST3 plugin with his haunted digital reverb synth for Blade Runner pads, supersaw bells, enormous churches, and a sitar that's somehow MORE SITAR. So grab your mod wheel, pack a spare delay line, and get ready for a REVERBS-A-GO-GO episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!
First, we dig into Traveler: its three different oscillators, gorgeous filters, gain staging, and what happens when you feed it KRC Mathwaves. There are a few Windows wavetable-import quirks to discuss. Naturally, I have opinions.
Then it's on to Liminal Space 2 RC5: new Bricasti M7-inspired algorithm banks evolved from impulse-response measurements, new Micro Pitch and Legacy Enhanced pitch shift modes, and the new Scattering diffusion mode. We compare the Bricasti-inspired "West Church" algorithm against its source IR, explore dark rooms with blooming stereo tails, and put piano, drums, and sitar into some wonderfully unreasonable spaces. There's even a Big Ass Spring. Woot!
Versions shown: Traveler 1.0.9 on Windows and Liminal Space 2 RC5. I purchased Traveler myself. Liminal Space 2 is my own plugin.
💵 STILL ON SALE: Get Liminal Space 2, KRC Mathwaves, and KRC Orchestral Impressions for just $33 in my 3rd Anniversary 'MAD SCIENCE' bundle: https://www.wavetables.lol/l/mad-scie..."
"EDP / Wasp Synthesizers Gnat Special. Iconic, rare British monosynth.
This synth is super rare. There were only about 100 made circa 1980/81.
This one is serial number 0075, made of beautiful solid mahogany wood.
Comes in original matching serial numbered box!
Condition is immaculate like new, you will never find one like this.
Fully tested recently and fully working With excellent analogue sound.
The link socket works too so it can be triggered by an appropriate midi interface. It's like a small version of the more famous Wasp and has a single oscillator with analogue filter. It is fat as you like and makes big gorgeous bass noises and all sorts of other stuff besides. The "enhance" setting (some kind of PWM ) makes it sound bigger than the Wasp. It has a lowpass resonant filter, an envelope with attack and decay controls and an LFO which can modulate the pitch or filter. It has a black and gold touch-sensitive keyboard. This is the Special so there's no built in speaker, just a single mono 1/4" output. These normally had a very slight audio leakage at certain settings."

"torso electronics presents a live session recorded at ikii, an intimate listening space for sound and art in Berlin.
In this episode, Nene H performs with the modular system at the centre of her current live and studio practice. The set moves through raw, buzzing, glassy textures, uneasy rhythmic patterns, and moments of melancholia.
Her live setup is entirely hardware-based, with no computer, timecode, or pre-recorded material. Its voices include a Make Noise DPO, Synthesis Technology Cloud Terrarium, Erica Synths Bass VCO, and Noise Engineering Basimilus, summed through an Intellijel Mixup.
Sequencing comes from the T1 and Make Noise René 2. René moves around a grid rather than following a conventional line from beginning to end, allowing patterns to appear in orders that would be difficult to write by hand.
Rather than following a fixed structure, Nene H records the system, samples it, and plays the material again. Sounds move continuously between synthesis, recording, sampling, and performance, allowing the set to find its shape in real time.
The result is raw, restless, and emotionally charged, shaped by Nene H’s close relationship with a system that has developed its own personality over time.
About Nene H
Nene H is a Turkish-Azerbaijani producer, DJ, and live artist based in Berlin. A conservatory-trained pianist, her work moves between club music, improvisation, composition, and collaborative performance.
Her catalog spans Standard Deviation, Intrepid Skin, Live From Earth, Incienso, and UMAY. Her albums include Ali علي and Second Skin. Her forthcoming EP, Seltsame Fabeln, arrives October 16, 2026 on UMAY."
"The Echon 6 is a strange synthesizer that uses bucket brigade chips in a complex delay network to generate 6 voices of extraordinary feedback that transforms into epic soundscapes."
"Here's how to make RANDOM8 produce repeating notes (where the SAME NOTES repeat each time!), M185 style. You need a VCA & two channels of RANDOM8. This will also work on a Turing Machine/other random modules! THIS PATCH IS ALSO A RANDOM GATE PATCH - I don't show this, but you could trigger drum modules probabilistically with it! 👉 / mylarmelodies 🙌
Bonus Tip: I have been asked a lot whether RANDOM8 could generate gates - This patch achieves that, so you could also use the output of the VCA and feed it to percussion modules, or your voices, etc.
