GreyScale-KOSMOS2&KOSMOS-ONE
video upload by plantssystem
https://plantssystem.github.io/KOSMOS...
"KOSMOS2 & KOSMOS‑ONE — Generative Synth Engines by plantssystemplantssystem introduces two new generative sound engines — KOSMOS2 and KOSMOS‑ONE — both built on the PRA32‑U2/M architecture and designed for compact hardware instruments.
They share the same musical DNA but serve different creative roles:
KOSMOS2 is a 4‑part autonomous generative system, while KOSMOS‑ONE is a minimal, single‑part generative engine optimized for small builds and embedded devices.KOSMOS2 — Four‑Part Generative EcosystemKOSMOS2 is a multi‑layer generative engine running on Raspberry Pi Pico2 or RP2040 hardware. It features four independent musical agents — Melody, Bass, Chord, and Sequence — each following its own rules while interacting within a shared harmonic framework.Key features:4 autonomous generative parts with deterministic behaviorPRA32‑U2/M synth engine running on Core1 with stable 44.1kHz I2S outputReal‑time control via TouchOSC or external MIDI CCScale, chord, arpeggio, and pattern generation with per‑part randomizationOptimized for RP2350 with improved DSP headroomDesigned for live performance and installation useKOSMOS2 makes its public debut at Hamamatsu Micro Maker Faire 2026, exhibited at the ISGK Instruments booth.
KOSMOS‑ONE — Minimal Generative Engine for Small HardwareKOSMOS‑ONE is a compact, single‑part version of the KOSMOS engine.
It is designed for ultra‑small hardware builds, micro‑instruments, and installations where simplicity and stability matter more than multi‑part complexity.Key features:Single‑part generative engine based on the KOSMOS2 architectureExtremely lightweight DSP load suitable for tiny microcontroller buildsDeterministic melodic generation with scale and mode awarenessIdeal for standalone sound objects, embedded synths, and minimal interfacesKOSMOS‑ONE preserves the musical character of KOSMOS2 while reducing the system to its most essential generative core.
TogetherKOSMOS2 and KOSMOS‑ONE form a modular family of generative engines — from full multi‑part generative performance to tiny embedded musical objects — all powered by the PRA32‑U2/M synthesis architecture."

Gradient Noise [stereo version]
video upload by John C.S. Keston
"On May 11, 2026 I premiered my piece Gradient Noise at the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) in Hamburg, Germany. The following video represents a stereo, studio recording of the performance. The performed piece was quadraphonic and contained one to four layers of instruments with independent, corresponding, video objects.
Since 2019 I have been composing animated graphic scores for ensembles and soloists. Examples include collaborative works like Parking Ramp Project or SYNTAX, solo pieces like Rhodonea. These generative works are projected for both the performers to read and audience to experience. I write the software that generates and animates geometric forms, and then establish rules on how the forms are read, whilst allowing improvisation and the emotional response of the performer to play an integral part in each piece.
Gradient Noise, written using the Processing.org language, translates values generated by the Perlin noise algorithm into independent layers of seamless loops repeating at variable intervals. These loops are visualized as geometric forms, abstract visualizations, and evolving structures. The data generated is aleatoric, but the values can be tuned to range between slowly moving gradients or rapid, angular forms. When the sound and visuals are synchronized I respond not only to the animation but also to the changes in the timbre of my instruments."

Kenton USB Solo mk2 MIDI to control voltage review + Big Merp Cameo 😺
video upload by CatSynth TV
00:00 Introduction
00:18 Overview
00:55 MIDI-to-CV demo with note, control change, and aftertouch messages
06:49 Saving configurations as presets
07:42 Converting MIDI clock to CV for synchronization
09:45 Conclusion
"In today's demo and tutorial, we have a bit of fun with the new USB Solo mk2 from our friends at Kenton Electronics. The handy little gadget builds on Kenton's previous MIDI to CV converters, and allows one to convert MIDI from USB or 5-pin DIN to a variety of CV signals, including pitch (1V/Oct), gate and trigger, 3 aux channels for CC, velocity, aftertouch, and more. It also supports MIDI clock, allowing one to synchronize Eurorack and other analog synthesizers with your DAW or MIDI sequencer. Additional features include a built-in LFO and envelope.
Big Merp decided he wanted to be a part of this demo, too 😺"

LoFi Future - Fragmenter 45 Circuit Bent HDMI Video Glitch Processor
video upload by LoFiFuture
"Available to order here: https://www.lofifuture.shop/product/f...
Track: LoFi Future - Canicular Days
https://lofifuture.bandcamp.com/track...
https://open.spotify.com/album/5oSvIp...
The Fragmenter 45 is a circuit bent Extron 1604 HDMI Scaler. It is a very high quality unit that demanded a very high retail price when originally released. The HDMI signal integrity is pixel perfect and doesn't compress your image when passed through this thing. It processes 1080p 60fps signals without even breaking a sweat!
This one features some effects that are new to myself, targeting a specific part of the clock circuitry that I have not experimented with before on any other device. The 3 push buttons trigger different clock glitch effects that completely take over the signal and make some mesmerizing patterns. They are an extreme and immediate set of effects, perfect for the most intense parts of a live visual performance. A bonus feature of these buttons is that when subtle artefacts build up on the screen after a while even when the effects are all off, a quick press of one of these buttons and they are all cleared! No need for a reset mid performance!
Another effect unique to this device in the horizontal warp effect that makes the clean HDMI signal degrade into something that looks like a weak analog transmission.
8 knobs control the colour digitise effect and another 9 knobs control the "fragment" effect section that splits the image up and repeats it in slices at a 45 degree angle. These two banks of knobs can be linked together with a toggle switch for even more effect possibilities.
This unit also features a VGA input and can scale the signal to a HDMI output, all of the effects work the same when doing so."

I'm planning to cover more from the album soon, with 'Naraka,' 'Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan,' and 'Blood in the Labyrinth' being next on my list.
What's your favorite track from the new album?

LepLoop 3D: Messing Around with the Capacitor Sequencer #leploop
video upload by LepLoop
"Diving back into the Leploop 3D! While we touched on LFO modulation in the last video, today I’m messing around with the unique capacitor sequencer.
A tactile way to build melody on the fly, this video explores how the S\H and LFO work together to drive the capacitor sequencer, creating evolving, organic textures driven by LFO modulation offset.

"The distortion to end all others
The final word in distortion has just been said. You may throw all your distortions in the TRASH, now. With a great help of Dr. Distorstein we created a weapon of mass distortion. We wrote the final chapter and made the distortionest distortion that crushes everything. The last distortion standing, the insane drive that will drive you insane, is called Cyberdrive."

Haiku Generative Music Album by Giorgio Sancristoforo for Mac OS Released
Giorgio Sancristoforo's Haiku Generative Music Album is now available for download. You might remember the demos from previous posts here.
It's a fascinating concept. According to Giorgio Sancristoforo:
"Haiku is not an instrument, it’s a music album in the form of software.
Haiku is a work of generative music that builds its own sound from nothing each time you open it, and never plays the same way twice — a record that exists only while it is playing."
Be sure tee the Giorgio Sancristoforo website for his additional creations including dedicated experimental software synthesizers. You can also find posts featuring them via his label below.
