video upload by CatSynth TV
"Our friends at Deftaudio take us on a tour of their offerings, including the new luma-d, a Eurorack front-end for a recreation of an Oberheim DMX drum voice. We also see a vintage PC in Eurorack format, a programmable moter, fidget spinner, and of course their flagship Luma-1 and Luma-mu recreations of the legendary Linn Drum."

Leviasynth: ASM's new beast of a synthesizer at #NAMM 2026
video upload by CatSynth TV
"Ken Flux Pierces demonstrates the new Leviasynth from ASM (Ashun Sound Machines), going deep on the functions of the eight oscillators and their myriad algorithms, configurations, and synthesis techniques. We also look at the polyphonic digital and analog filters, keyboard and ribbon controller, and more. We also take a peak at the tabletop version of the synth."

Fragmenter Mini - HDMI Video Glitch Processor
video upload by LoFiFuture
"Available to order here: https://www.lofifuture.shop/product/f...

The Fragmenter Mini is based on the Extron DSC HD-HD HDMI scaler. It is a compact with a HDMI input and output capable of processing and scaling a HDMI signals from 480i up to 1920x1200, 1080p/60, and 2K.
With this modification I have extended the enclosure with a new 3D printed top shell that accommodates the controls.
There are 32 different bend points, 24 of them controlling the colourise effects and the other 8 controlling the fragment effects. This scaler has a very unique way of processing the image that results in the image being sliced into sections at a 45 degree angle when the fragment effects are applied.
The potentiometers are off in the middle (12 o'clock) when they are panned either left or right they control the intensity of that particular effect.
Each column of potentiometers are connected to a common bus, and each of these common busses can be connected to the column next to it via a momentary push button or a latching toggle switch. A useful feature when preforming visuals to music.
The original front panel buttons are concealed behind the front panel but can still be easily accessed with something like pencil for setting the output resolution. Otherwise they are never needed and dont access any fun parameters anyway."

Inspired by Numeric and Zularic Repetitor, Multi Repetitor combines familiar rhythm banks with Euclidean-derived patterns, per-channel modifiers, and dynamic accent generation. With four trigger outputs, four accent outputs, faders on every channel, and CV control throughout, it’s designed to be played, tweaked, and explored in real time.
Whether you want classic grooves or evolving, unpredictable rhythms, Multi Repetitor keeps the immediacy of the originals while expanding the creative palette.

Press release follows:
Noise Engineering announces Multi Repetitor, an algorithmic percussion sequencer designed for performance.
Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their unique and compact utilities, has released Multi Repetitor, an algorithmic trigger sequencer and sequel to their classic Numeric and Zularic Repetitor trigger generators.
Multi Repetitor has been completely rethought from the originals, and takes the core features of the version one designs into a whole new realm. Rhythm generation starts with the three rhythm banks: choose from Zularic, Numeric, or the newly developed Euclidean-derived linear rhythms, then use the Prime fader to scroll through base rhythms on the fly. Like its predecessors, it features four trigger outputs, now with dedicated performance faders that modify the rhythm output.
The newly rethought – and reversible – interface based adds extra parameters for more control of all four outputs. While it keeps the clock and reset inputs, Multi Repetitor also features an internal tap-tempo clock for standalone sequencing. Finally, this version adds four accent gate outputs to the interface. The impetus for these changes, according to the team, was to make the module fit better into compact percussion systems while still being a fun generative sequencer for larger systems.
While it’s possible to get deep into rhythmic modification with the extensive patterns, modification algorithms, and accent options, Multi Repetitor is designed to be a plug-and-play rhythm sequencer. Noise Engineering said that one of their goals was to make it easy to tweak parameters by ear and jam with no preparation required.
Multi Repetitor begins shipping on January 22nd at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.
Features
• Standalone play: tap in a tempo, patch up the outputs, and you’ve got a groove
• Sequence triggers and accents for up to four voices in your systems
• Choose from Zularic, Numeric, or Euclidean-derived base rhythm banks
• Select different base rhythms from the banks using the Prime fader
• Use three different algorithms to modify each output’s rhythm with the performance faders
• Modulate your rhythms with full CV control over faders and banks, and keep things in sync with external clock and reset inputs
• Plug-and-play operation: simple interface designed for performance is easy to use out of the box
Availability and pricing:
Multi Repetitor: In stock. Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting January 22nd, 2026; MSRP US$320

video upload by Anton Anru
🌌 "Fractured Atmospheres" is a collection of 50 atmospheric and experimental presets for Xfer Serum 2, made for producers who want emotional, evolving, and dark sounds with character.
The soundset moves between soft and pleasant atmospheres and noisy, unstable, and abstract tones, making it suitable for both musical ideas and sound design.
💾 The bank of presets includes: 12 Pads, 12 Strings, 14 Textures, and 12 Drones.
📦 Get these presets: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/seru...
👤 The author of the soundset is Ilian.
❗️Compatible only with Serum 2. Not compatible with Serum 1.
💎 The soundset is built around contrast and imperfection, drawing inspiration from natural phenomena, mental states, and inner anomalies.
Pads and strings blend smooth, emotional, and airy tones with subtle noise, creating fragile, lo-fi, and cinematic atmospheres, while textures and drones move into darker, noisier, and more atonal territory.
Shaped by slow or fast, evolving modulation, the presets feel expressive and alive, working as musical layers, background ambiences, or standalone soundscapes.

The Stylosette Keys by Dubreq
video upload by Musical Miscellany & More
"Dubreq released the Stylosette last year but I'm just now getting around to buying one. I'm not sure why it took me so long but here's a quick overview of the Sytlosette Keys and what it can do.
Intro - 0:00
Unboxing & Overview - 0:50
Basic Functions - 2:31
Delay Circuit - 4:21
Patch Points - 5:24
Final Thoughts - 9:10"
The Stylosette is the latest addition to our Pocket-sized Analog synthesizer range. It’s a monophonic mini analog synth that looks like a cassette and comes in a cool retro cassette storage case for batteries, clips, a screwdriver and cables, which are all included. It also has a built-in speaker, aux out, and an expansion port.
Use the crocodile clips provided to trigger sounds using conductive objects such as fruits, vegetables, or spoons! The Stylosette has a 13-key touch-sensitive keyboard and is played by sliding your finger along the touch-sensitive metal surface, so no need for a Stylus.
Each segment on the synthesizer keyboard plays a different note, so you can create rich, dynamic music with delay effects, vibrato, and a three-octave range.
Change the speed, depth, and delay with the screwdriver accessory to customize your sound. Even connect to another Stylosette. Buzz, twist, and warp every note in the palm of your hand – anywhere.
It’s an excellent gift for both musicians and beginners alike. All you need to do is insert batteries, turn it on, touch the keypad, and make some noise!
Check with dealers on the right for availability.
Stylophonic Fun
GreyScale-DeadZone #greyscale #deadzone #duos #cs10
video upload by plantssystem
"This work uses a runaway noise generator from Hikari Instruments / Duos as the main source. This extreme signal was passed through the external input of the legendary 1970s Yamaha CS-10, and then thoroughly deconstructed and reconstructed using filter modulation.
The unpredictable chaos of the Duos and the sharp yet sticky analog filter of the CS-10 resonate with each other, creating a dry, tense acoustic space reminiscent of the 'Dead Zone' suggested by the title.
The critical point of electricity. Listen to the texture."

Incus vs BIA: FIGHT!
