Mutable Noise Mutations | Plaits alternative firmware by iNit-Crioxica

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"OK, trust me on this. ‪@init-crioxica‬ has released a firmware for Plaits that's completely dedicated to Noise Music, and it can/could be used for making noise. However, it offers 28 presets - or banks with tons of insanely cool sounds. Sure, there's noise, but I found countless leads and textures which are too good to be true, but entirely true. I am not a fan of noise music so I explored the 'sweeter' side of the firmware, which comes down to using the knobs differently. At first I thought it didn't track pitch, but it does V/OCT when the preset allows it. Some are mutated, modulated, randomized, etc so pitch is useless. But tonal voices just track beautifully. Here, Plaits gets some help from Bruxa and Plexlphon, a combo I am starting to love a lot.

Here's the link to the firmware.

Modular session 2026-10-09 live take 150bpm broken beats

video upload by Renku Corporation

"Spent the whole weekend going deep on this one. Lots of stuff going on, this was the 3rd take. Filled up almost all the mutes! The basics of the patch is Zaps into Panharmonium, split from there, and the Buck Modular Drumf**k into QPAS into Rings, split from there. Numeric Repetitor does the Zaps, drums are Social Entropy Engine mostly, and many many others got in on this one. The new WMD Skorpion is used on the Irukandji glitch drum used as a bass, after running through a TTA Z2040 and post-wave-folder is the Morpheus filter. The Tasty Chips ECR1+ is doing a big very thing with convolution. Beads is blurring away, and Clouds is in but you might not know it. Audio Damage Boomtshack is the snare through Godsbox Lollipop compressor with Jomox Modbase as the kick through the Jellysquasher. Main hat is Plonk, Polaris filter, 4ms DLD. The Synthesis Tech E520 processor runs a spectral delay on one path of the Plonk/pan."

MATRIARCH + TAKE 5 + MAGNETO | Live Synth Performance #37 (DEPARTURE)

video upload by David Falcon

"This last few months I've been downsizing a lot in the studio, while focusing on creating a compact system within the Eurorack. Have lots of redundancies and gear that I haven't been using much. Now has been the time for the Sequential Pro 3. I used it a lot in some projects, but the last two years has been gathering dust, so it was time for it to find a new home.

Still trying to find the perfect balance. However I find these these two, the Moog Matriarch and the Sequential Take 5 , so inspiring that I hardly see myself parting with any of them. My plan is to pair the modular with the Matriarch more in the future, so we will see.
Also the Magneto is growing on me, I loved the Strymon dTape sound from the Timeline, but this one is AMAZING. Takes anything to a whole different sound world.

Lastly, I used Rings into FX Aid (Gen Loss algorithm) for the bass sound.

Mastered in Ableton.

The Strangest, Most Interesting Synth He's Played This Year (Morphor Echon6)

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Morphor Echon6 is the world's first analog modal polysynth — a genuine departure from the wall of subtractive synths flooding the market right now. In this review and demo I dig into its Karplus-Strong-based exciter and resonator, six voices you can split into six independent monosynths, and a modulation system so intuitive it doesn't need a menu. Full raw demo at the end so you can hear it completely unprocessed.

WHAT IS MODAL SYNTHESIS?
Modal synthesis uses a Karplus-Strong oscillator — an exciter (like a pluck, bow, or hammer) run through a resonator (like a string or instrument body) — to fake physical, plucked/struck sounds. First proposed by Kevin Karplus and Alexander Strong back in 1982, you'll recognise the concept from modules like Mutable Instruments Plaits, Rings and Braids, and digital oscillators in synths like the Arturia MiniFreak and Korg Minilogue XD. The Echon6 takes that same idea and builds it entirely in analog circuitry — as far as I know, the first synth to pull that off.

MY TAKE
The Echon6 is a genuinely fresh alternative to the current glut of subtractive synths — your Jupiters, Junos, Prophets, and OB-style clones. It felt natural within minutes, the modulation is some of the cleverest I've used on any hardware synth, and the build quality is excellent. Compared to the Erica Synths Steampipe (digital modal synthesis), the Echon6 is easier to learn, while the Steampipe can get more chaotic, faster, thanks to its distortion and reverb. Both are worth a look if experimental modal synthesis is your thing — but the Echon6 gets a big thumbs up from me.
