Mesmorum | Spectralis sequencing the Prophet 10, Minimoog, SH-101, Virus TI IDM Jungle

video upload by MIDERA

"After my adventure with the MKS-80, I wanted to write something with my Spectralis. This is that track.

Further... I think this is where I may conclude my time with the Sequentix Cirklon 2... A lovely thing, but - I don't think it's for me. The Spectralis is too 'home' for me.

Ocean Swift Introduces Sound Creator Suite - tools for sound-design and instrument development

The Ultimate Sound Designer & Developer Toolkit: Sound Creator Suite Walkthrough | Ocean Swift video upload by Ocean Swift / Faxi Nadu

https://oceanswift.net/product/sound-creator-suite/

"Welcome to a complete walkthrough of the Ocean Swift - Sound Creator Suite. In this video, we take a high-level tour of the entire application, showing you not just what the tools do, but how they work in concert to provide a centralized host environment for virtual instrument developers, sample pack creators, and sound designers.

Whether you are automating hardware sampling, building custom UI components, or formatting vast preset libraries, this suite handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on the creative process.

What we cover in this walkthrough:
Global Settings & The Log Viewer: A look at the suite's foundation, including audio/MIDI routing, Kontakt developer integration , and the built-in, thread-safe Log Viewer capable of maintaining a 10,000-line history.
Audio Batch Processing & Sampling: How to recursively process thousands of audio files , mathematically align loops using MIR technology , and automate external hardware sampling via MIDI and threshold detection.
The Wavetable Ecosystem: A brief look at building wavetables from scratch with the Creator, extracting them from audio files, and converting formats across various software synthesizers.
MIDI & OSC Routing: Bridging the gap between your hardware, digital audio workstations, and modular environments like TouchDesigner.
UI Generation & NKS Workflow: From rendering 3D knobs into sprite sheets to batch-injecting metadata into Native Instruments NKS presets and standard audio samples."

Build Kontakt Instruments Faster: WYSIWYG UI Editor & Prefabs | Ocean Swift Sound Creator Suite

video upload by Ocean Swift / Faxi Nadu

"In this in-depth walkthrough, we dive into the Kontakt Performance View tool, a powerful standalone WYSIWYG editing environment within the Ocean Swift Sound Creator Suite. If you build instruments for Native Instruments Kontakt, this tool bridges the gap between technical JSON editing and intuitive visual design.We cover the entire workflow, from initial setup to complex UI layout, showing you how to design without writing a single line of layout code. What you will learn in this video:Integration & Setup: How to use the suite's settings to launch Kontakt as an isolated child process. Automated NKS Creation: Watch the tool automatically generate the strict NKS folder hierarchy and silently execute a Lua script to create your base .nki and .nkr container files. Live WYSIWYG Editing: Explore the hardware-accelerated preview canvas that provides a near 1:1 visual representation of your UI.Drag & Drop Design: See how to physically drag controls across the canvas , use grab handles for free-resizing , and utilize the alignment menu to perfectly center, top, or bottom-align multiple UI elements instantly.
Advanced Tree & Property Inspector: Learn how to manage the exact structural hierarchy of your UI. We show you how to use Alt+Click to instantly select a Panel and all nested child controls , and how to edit multiple parameters safely using the dynamic property inspector.
Instant UI Prefabs: Discover how to recursively scan your resources folder to drop complex, pre-configured .nckc UI elements directly into your project in seconds.

Grab it here: https://oceanswift.net/product/sound-..."

Press release follows:

"Sound Creator Suite is an all-in-one desktop environment for advanced sound-design and virtual instrument development workflows. Serving as a robust, centralized host, this suite equips producers and developers with an unparalleled arsenal of specialized Ocean Swift tools and utilities.

Oberheim Xpander first encounter

video upload by MIDERA

"It is not my best work... but I wanted to put something up. Today, I traded some gear and ended up with an Xpander. It's pretty crazy what it can do. However, I'm not particularly enjoying editing from a distance, since the 'desktop' nature of the Xpander is such that it can't actually sit on any of my synths. It's literally bigger than my OB-6.

But it's got a very unique sound. Hopefully after I take some time I can really dig into the parameters of the instrument (and find a better way to edit it while playing).

MERG-E For NI Reaktor 6.5

video upload by Antonio Blanca (antblanca)

"MERG-E is a sampler instrument for Reaktor 6.5, created for the exploration and transformation of audio through multiple simultaneous playheads (up to 8), loop memories, and a focused set of sound-shaping tools. Thanks to its Dynamic LAYERS system, it’s easy to move quickly between very different sonic results from lo-fi, broken, and tape-like textures to hyper-digital, chaotic, cinematic or minimal looping structures, all within a minimal interface designed to keep the focus on sound.

MERG-E is the result of a long process of experimentation around multi-playhead playback and loop manipulation, refined into a tool meant for fast, intuitive exploration with samples.

If you enjoy pushing recordings beyond their original context, I hope MERG-E finds a place in your workflow.

FEATURES:

- Create up to 8 Loop Slots to store different start and end points for the loaded sample

- Play Loop Slots or transpose them via MIDI notes

- Modulate Volume and Pan according to the playheads position

- Layer pitch can be quantized to preset intervals like Octaves, Fifths or Semitones, or fully shaped per layer using the Manual mode - Crush, Filter, Grain Delay with Pitch-shifting and Space effects

- VARIATE function to generate subtle sound variations or discover potential new sounds

- Includes 82 snapshots and 76 samples to explore and manipulate

- Optimized for real-time performance, allowing MIDI Learn and Automation on most parameters

- Light on CPU usage
