Press release follows:


Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their fun and unique takes on Eurorack modular synthesizers, has released the highly requested Mimetic Digitwolis, a configurable performance sequencer, MIDI-controlled quantizer, and successor to the beloved Mimetic Digitalis.

The original Mimetic Digitalis has become a cult classic, thanks to its quick workflow and performative features. Noise Engineering has worked extensively to revamp and upgrade everything about the new version, while retaining the magic of the original. Fans of the first edition will enjoy familiar features like Shred randomization, extended cartesian sequencing abilities, and familiar editing workflows, all within the same 10 HP package.

Even with those similarities, Mimetic Digitwolis was redesigned from the ground up to be a great performance tool and sequencing utility. The new hardware features five trigger inputs and four CV inputs which can all be freely assigned to dozens of mappings within the module for complete flexibility. All editing and configuration can be done on the new color screen, making it easy to fit the module into your patch and view sequences at a glance. New to version two is the addition of MIDI in and out jacks, allowing a whole new level of connectivity with other studio gear – Digitwolis can be synchronized and controlled with other MIDI devices, and generates MIDI notes and CC modulation.

Mimetic Digitwolis also features a host of highly requested new features. The outputs can sequence four different types of signals – modulation CV, pitch CV, triggers, or gates – or can act as a quantizer on external CV signals. The quantizer can also be used internally on pitch CV lanes, and the scale can be edited within the module or with an external MIDI keyboard. Additionally, clock dividers can be applied to the four channels to change their advance rate, and each channel can have a different sequence length from one to 16 steps.

Despite its compact size and unintimidating interface, it’s clear that Mimetic Digitwolis is a flexible sequencing utility for any system, big or small. "Normally, we put a quote about the product in our press releases," says Kris, the Doer of Many Things at Noise Engineering. "But Mimetic Digitwolis does so much that it speaks for itself."

Mimetic Digitwolis is now open for preorders and starts shipping September 18th, 2025. Available at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2025

Today I introduce my Quintessential OB-6 Synthesizer Sound Set. This audio demo is a selection from my original Sequential/Oberheim OB6 patches. The bank download includes 100 patches can be purchased at https://gstormelectro.gumroad.com/

The patches come from a variety of influences: Arena Rock, Pop, Trance, Darkwave, Freestyle, Dub, Classic Hits, New Wave, Electro. As well as some funky weird stuff the OB-6 has coaxed from my imagination. Hope you'll enjoy these awe-inspiring sonics coming from the OB-6 as much as I do. Which sounds are your favorite? What sounds did you not care for? Let me know in the comments!

All audio recorded direct to iPhone via Roland GO:MIXER Pro-X. Only on-board synth fx used, no additional effects. Some normalization in post processing."

Granular Effects Explained | w/ Sonicware Liven Evoke | What All The Parameters Do


How To Use Them video upload by Sonic Cartography

Sonic Cartography Sonicware Liven videos

"Using some crude paper animations and the Sonicware Liven Evoke as demonstration platform, I explain a whole bunch of parameters of granular effects and synthesis—both what they are and how to use them: buffer, spray, diffusion, direction, shape, feedback, alignment, range, jitter, and more. From a filming/editing standpoint, this is the most elaborate video I've ever made, so I hope people like it...

This video also features very brief cameos from the Texture Lab & the ‪@HologramElectronics‬ Microcosm."

4k Redwood Forrest with rhythmic electronic music


video upload by Saul Stokes - Frequensea

"Expansion was composed in 2018, before a Star's End Gathering performance I did in Philadelphia. The music was intended as a complimentary bonus album for the audience. It's remained obscure, likely also due to the cover, which was drawn by my daughter and is very atypical of electronic music. Expansion has some really chill electronic beats that are unique due to many of them being processed through an old tape recorder. During this time of my life, I was doing a lot of non-multitrack recordings, where I would live mix to compact flash cards in one go. I'm going to be honest and say that the original album had lots of squeaky synth solo work that was a bit too improvised for me. For this Redwood forest video, I performed extensive splicing to remove some of the worst offenders. I think this cut is much cooler with the result being more chill.

The video was created in the Redwood Forest of Reinhardt, Oakland, California. It's an absolutely stunning forest just a few minutes from the city. I had to jump off the main trail onto a small hiking path and then hide the camera. As soon as I left, dancing insects came out in force. If you listen closely, you'll hear some fairies talk in a few portions of the album. Watch the sun slowly move across the plantlife."
