Minimoog & Ableton SOLFA – A Generative MIDI Sequencer for Minimal and Experimental Music
video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto
"SOLFA – A Generative MIDI Sequencer for Minimal and Experimental Music
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
Inspired by Arvo Pärt, Designed for Creative Exploration
SOLFA is a generative MIDI sequencer for Ableton Max for Live, built for electronic music producers, experimental composers, ambient sound designers, and those interested in algorithmic composition. Inspired by the works of Arvo Pärt, this tool allows you to create evolving, hypnotic patterns that seamlessly blend tonal minimalism with rhythmic complexity.
Minimal Pitch, Infinite Possibilities
At the core of SOLFA is a simple seven-note sequence. These notes are randomized across octaves, generating organic melodic shifts. This structured yet fluid approach results in endlessly varying musical textures that maintain a coherent harmonic identity.
Independent Rhythmic Structures
SOLFA employs isorhythmic principles, where the pitch sequence operates independently from the rhythm pattern. This allows for intricate, evolving interactions between melody and rhythm, giving rise to unexpected yet deeply musical results.
Ideal for Generative and Experimental Music
Whether you're composing ambient soundscapes, intricate polyrhythmic pieces, or avant-garde electronic music, SOLFA provides a unique method for crafting evolving compositions with minimal input. By embracing randomness within defined constraints, it encourages exploration while maintaining musical cohesion.
Unlock New Creative Dimensions
Transform simple ideas into dynamic, evolving sequences with SOLFA. Experiment with chance, structure, and unpredictability to discover new musical possibilities. Now available for Max for Live.

GONE - Electronica #4 // Subharmonicon, Analog Four, Octatrack, Modular
video upload by David Falcon
"En este tema me voy por una rama oscura del electro. Me evoca sensaciones similares a la OST del juego The Binding of Isaac. Bastante oscuro, incluso siniestro por veces.
Muchas disonancias girando en torno al ancla que es la Elektron Analog Four mkii. Bombo y Bajo sientan unas bases potentes sobre lo que construir lo demás. La octatrack como mixer del máster es una gozada mientras que el modular y el subharmonicon son una fuente inagotable de inspiración.
En este caso decidí disolver el tema al final en lugar de llevarlo a una parte nueva. Más acorde a la temática creo. Como siempre, grabado en una toma, y solamente masterizado en Ableton.
Gracias a los que estáis siempre al otro lado.
Saludos!
(eng)
In this song I am going for a dark branch of electro. It evokes similar feelings in me to the OST of the game The Binding of Isaac. Quite dark, even sinister at times.
Many dissonances revolving around the anchor that is the Elektron Analog Four mkii. Kick and Bass lay powerful foundations on which I build the rest. The Octatrack as a master mixer is amazing while the modular and the subharmonicon are an infinite source of inspiration.
In this case I decided to dissolve the main parts of the song at the end instead of taking it to a new part. More in line with the theme I think.
Recorded in one take and mastered in Ableton.
Thank you for being on the other side."

PlayFader PlayMates - Intellijel Atlantix, Roland Aira S-1, Algoriddim DJAY Pro, Ableton Live & Link
video upload by Play All Day
"PlayFader is made in Cyprus and I’ve just relocated back to Cyprus permanently after 30 years away. I really miss the place and I’m so happy to be home.
At the same time as arriving, the amazing @caroline_myvolts introduced me to Dim, head honcho at @synthesizergr and he wanted to stock PlayFader. This means so much to me, to have a Cypriot-made electronic music device being sold in Athens, Greece 🇨🇾❤️🇬🇷
So… PlayFader is now available in @synthesizergr
I wanted to do something special to celebrate this 🫠
I wanted to make a full length performance for Dim and celebrate the best of modern Greek dj’s and producers while showcasing PlayFader as the expressive and creative instrument that it is. Especially in one of my favourite contexts, as a live sequencer that you can use to perform while dj’ing. I’m after all more of a dj than a producer. And this is my happy place where I absolutely fucking love to use PlayFader 👊
Dim pointed me in the direction of @echonomist_music and I instantly found this track that I fell in love with. It’s about homecoming and joy… 💛
What you see in this video is only the 2nd take, totally improvising over the entirety of the track “Happiest of all memorial days”.
It would have been the 1st take but I forgot to plug the audio into the camera 😂
There are some slightly less perfect moments, but I was absolutely in my flow state and enjoyed every second of playing!
And that’s the point I wanted show. PlayFader is a live performance instrument and a wise genius synth-builder once said “instruments reward practice and perseverance”. (Vlad from Soma thank you 🙏)
Me and Jason designed PlayFader to give users lots of support and freedom - stay tightly locked into the groove and wander far away from it at any time, always with the option to come back to where you were.
There’s lots going on in this, too much to explain in detail here. It’s 7 minutes long and uses lots of features like the dual buffers, live switching, Latch play, Fun fx, ratchets etc etc.
Left channel is playing @rolandsynthandaira S-1. Right channel is playing the @intellijel Atlantix. I’m using @algoriddimofficial djay Linked to @ableton 💛
Enjoy ❤️"

"Sound: Ambient Drone Sample Pack https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
A cinematic atmosphere made of sound, not melody.
This is not a collection of loops. It is a carefully curated archive of long-form drone textures, each exceeding five minutes, sculpted for those who create without the need for rhythm, harmony, or resolution. Designed for deep listeners and sound designers.
From seasoned ambient producers to experimental filmmakers, this pack speaks to those who understand that sound can live and breathe without a beat. Built from legendary hardware units and bespoke digital tools, these drones are not simply sounds. They are environments.
What you get
152 Long Drones
Each drone is a sustained sound object, stripped of melodic intention, tonal center, and conventional structure. Yet within that restraint lies a world of motion, tension, and resonance. Ideal for background atmospheres, immersive installations, or the subtle shaping of sonic space.
Crafted with attention to sonic texture
Every file in this pack was created by hand. Each layer was tuned for grain, depth, and movement. This is not the kind of material you will find in generic libraries. It rewards slow listening and detailed placement. If you care about the feel of sound as much as its function, you will feel at home here. Always growing, always free to update
If you have already purchased this pack, new files have already been added at no additional cost. If you are still considering it, now is a good time. Ambient Drone (Sample Pack) is in constant evolution. Once you own it, every update is yours.

Ambient Improvisation w/ Prophet-10, Tape Loop, monome Grid | Bookmark 2025-06-19 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with the @SequentialLLC Prophet-10, modular synth, and tape loops—ambient music where glitchy modular rhythms drift beneath slow-moving harmonies.
Prophet-10: Improvised live with @strymon blueSky reverb.
Modular synth: A Plaits voice is sequenced by a monome Grid and WHITE WHALE, bit-reduced through a Roland BITRAZER, then further processed with @ChaseBlissAudio LOSSY and the MOOD MK II. In Ableton Live, two layers of Beat Repeat add additional glitches.
Tape loop: A pre-recorded piano loop is played back at half speed. Its output feeds the @HologramElectronics MICROCOSM, where reverb and looping create layered textures."

video upload by No Lake
"Just a few words to let you know that I'm still here. I'm currently working on the new era of my music. It's heading in the direction I wanted it to go. I introduced you to the concept of Brussels School, which means everything and nothing, and I realize that it's ultimately something that suits me.
So what's next? I'll gradually introduce you to jams based on this concept. Rather long pieces that take the time to establish an atmosphere. Something absorbing, bewitching, with a hypnotic and almost insidious rhythm. Something along the lines of "Illusion" or "Hypnosis," which were two of the channel's top three hits. I take this as proof that I'm on the right path.
As explained three weeks ago, there will no longer be videos every week. They will arrive when they arrive. The long-term idea is to rework all these jams to create a real album centered around a single philosophy, but this is another story for later.
Wishing you a great day! See you soon.

Instruō - Sound Design with Seashell (with Jason H. J. Lim)
video upload by Instruō
"We launched the Instruō Seashell this year at Superbooth.
This video is a behind the scenes look at a sound design session during which I scored one of the pre-release teaser trailers.
The video footage was shot and edited by Mathew. I used the Seashell as the exclusive sound source and scored the trailer.
No post processing or effects were used other than compression/dynamics.
This was my first experience using the Seashell to this extent within a production context. I was effectively late stage beta testing a prerelease build of both the firmware and plugin. I couldn't be happier with the features the Seashell's integration allows. This is a workflow I've wanted for a long time with this level of flexibility. The portability and form factor we've also achieved with Seashell is something I'm incredibly proud of.
My co-developers at Instruō are a true powerhouse of creativity.
I hope you enjoy the Seashell as much as I have been :)

Ciat Lonbarde Sample Pack
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
116 Oneshots
30 Drones
Crafted from the Unpredictable
This evolving sample pack is a curated collection of sounds generated entirely with the eccentric modular instruments of Ciat Lonbarde. Featuring raw sessions recorded with Peterlin and Plumbutter 2, it offers a unique sonic palette ranging from fractured noise textures to rich ambient drones and abstract one-shots.
The Handcrafted World of Ciat Lonbarde
Ciat Lonbarde is the creation of instrument builder and sound thinker Peter Blasser. His designs reject conventional synthesis in favor of circuits that behave like living organisms. These instruments respond with tactile irregularity and voltage-driven nuance. This collection is not a digital imitation. It is the real analog, shaped in real time by touch and signal.
For the Forward-Thinking Producer
Whether you’re working in experimental ambient, leftfield techno, cinematic sound design, or simply seeking sonic material that resists the algorithmic polish of modern production, these samples offer tactile character and genuine unpredictability. No two loops are alike. No modulation repeats.
What’s Inside
Atmospheric drones
Textural noise beds
One-shot percussive blips and pulses
Select loopable material with musical intent
Files designed to inspire both immediate use and deep sampling exploration
Free Lifetime Updates
Your purchase is not a one-time transaction. This pack is a growing archive. New recordings are added continuously at no extra cost. Previous buyers already have access to the latest updates. If you haven’t joined yet, now is a perfect time.
Listen or Use
Several pieces included were composed with musical intent. They can be sampled, reshaped, or simply listened to as drone compositions in their own right. Sound as music. Music as sound."
