RudeBox - Drum Synthesizer

video upload by Illegal State Of Mind

"RudeBox is a DIY single-voice drum synthesizer built around an ESP32-A1S.

BUILD YOUR OWN RudeBox! https://jakubthedeveloper.github.io/R...

It started as a simple synth-tom experiment, but gradually evolved into a much more flexible percussion synth capable of producing deep kicks, toms, short noisy hits, laser-like sounds and all kinds of strange electronic percussion.

RudeBox is played dynamically from an external drum pad, with hit velocity affecting the generated sound. Its controls allow shaping the oscillator, pitch envelope, amplitude decay and transient click/noise:

• Sensitivity
• Oscillator Pitch
• Shape — triangle → square → pulse
• Pitch Drop
• Envelope → Pitch
• Decay
• Click Level
• Velocity → Amplitude

In this demo I’m using RudeBox together with:

• *Novation Bass Station II* — bass / synth lines
• *Korg Volca Sample* — additional drums and samples
• *Allen & Heath ZEDi-10* — mixing everything together

The idea behind RudeBox was to build something simple, immediate and playable rather than another menu-driven digital instrument. Despite running on an ESP32, it behaves much more like a small piece of dedicated hardware: plug in a pad, turn the knobs and play.

Tapechild UDS-16 VST / Soviet Drum Machine VST

video upload by Tapechild

"UDS-16 is a 16-voice instrument that synthesizes every hit in real time, without samples. It brings together two Lel UDS-inspired models, a Formanta Rockton-inspired model and our own Tapechild engine. It also includes tape saturation and gated reverb.

The connection to these rare Soviet instruments is a central part of the project: it's a contemporary drum sound design tool inspired by them, rather than an official reissue. It's available for macOS and Windows as VST3, AU and standalone, priced at $49."

https://tapechild.com/uds-16

"Pure Synthesis: 100% synthesized sound generation — no samples used.

4 Engine Models: Features four synthesis algorithms, including vintage Soviet circuits and an original Tapechild model.

Sound Character: Delivers gritty, punchy analog-style percussion, industrial tones, and distinctive vintage electronic drums.

Compatibility & Price: Available for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows 10/11 for $49."

"Two ways to create. One MPC mindset. https://inmusic.to/5n8b3m62

The MPC One G2 and MPC Key 37 G2 introduce a new generation of standalone MPCs built around the same core idea: faster workflows and bigger creative potential. Both devices are powered by MPC3 and a new G2 eight-core processor, delivering significantly increased performance for larger sessions, faster load times, expanded track counts, and deeper plugin usage.

For beatmakers and producers who want the classic MPC feel in a compact desktop unit, MPC One G2 delivers next generation standalone power, MPC3’s modern track and arrangement tools, and USB-C hybrid connectivity—making it the most capable and future proof entry point into the MPC standalone ecosystem. https://inmusic.to/2p87e2nv

For producers and players who write on keys but want the speed and focus of an MPC workflow, MPC Key 37 G2 delivers next-generation standalone power, MPC3’s modern track and arrangement tools, and one-cable USB-C studio connectivity in a compact production keyboard that eliminates the laptop dependency. https://inmusic.to/yckvp6ef

Together, they represent two approaches to the same creative system. Whether you start on pads or keys both deliver a complete, modern MPC experience built to create, arrange, and finish music in one place, with the flexibility to plug into your studio setup when needed."

The ellitone groov~e console is a new variant of the original groov~e device. The console version includes the same sounds as the original, but features several new additions including built-in stereo speaker system, battery-power, hardwood body/knobs, and individual volume control over each sound layer

The groov~e console is a fun and mysterious interactive drum-machine and polyphonic-synthesizer that automatically generates musical “grooves”. A “groove” consists of 3 individual sound layers: a drum-machine layer, an ambience-sample layer, and a polyphonic-synthesizer sequence layer. Each of these 3 sound layers can be individually tweaked or swapped out to find the right mixture of sounds to make you say “WHOAH, that’s funky!”.

New Polyend Drums Analog / Digital Drum Machine Incoming

video upload by Polyend

"Drums is an analog and digital drum machine built for immediacy, depth, and performance."

Features.

Analog voices.
Four analog voices built on modern SSI chips create a dense, classic tone with modern flexibility. Each stacks dual analog VCOs, a dedicated noise source, and additional digital oscillator for hybrid layering or precise FM modulation. Each shaped through a multimode analog filter and VCA, giving you everything from tight percussion to evolving synth textures.

Instruments.
Multiple analog and digital synthesis methods, sample-based instruments, and eight independent LFOs give you the core tools for creating and modulating drum sounds. With over forty instruments, each containing its own sub-mode mutations, you get hundreds of options to choose from.

Live performance.
Drums is designed for real-time control. Use the X0Y fader to morph kits, trigger fills instantly, and switch between patterns or sound kits without stopping playback. Key parameters stay close, so changes can be made while the pattern is running.

Effects.
Drums includes three dedicated effects groups. Send effects for shared processing. Insert effects for individual tracks. A master chain for the final mix. Inserts can be sequenced per track, so effects become part of the rhythm rather than something added at the end.

Power
The device runs on a dual-core main CPU, with auxiliary processors handling peripherals and analog control. Internal audio processing is done in 32-bit floating point at 96kHz, with 24-bit/96 kHz DAC and ADC conversion for audio input and output.

Ins & Outs.
2 × 1/4” audio out jacks
8 × 1/4” individual track output jacks
1 × 1/4” stereo headphone jack
2 × 1/4” audio in jacks

1 x 1/8” MIDI In jack
1 x 1/8” MIDI Out jack
1 x 1/8” MIDI Thru jack

USB C

Size and Weight.
Height (w/ knob): 1.69 inches (4.3 cm)
Width: 17.56 inches (44.6 cm)
Depth: 11.50 inches (29.2 cm)

Introducing Cre8audio Programm - MIDI and CV Sequencer

video upload by Cre8audio

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

"As electronic musicians, we’ve used every sequencer under the sun. We loved the speed of some and the randomness of others, but we hated having to choose. So, we built PROGRAMM.

It’s a creative playground that bridges the gap between human performance and algorithmic generation. Whether you’re meticulously stepping in/playing a melody or using real-time randomization to find new textures, PROGRAMM keeps up with your brain. And for those moments where you accidentally forgot to hit record before playing the best sequence you’ve ever written? We built an always-ready recall function to save your soul (and your track)

Total Versatility: Step it in, play it in, or let the machine take the lead.

Controlled Chaos: Dive into deep generative tools and real-time randomization that stay musical.

Are you bilingual? Programm is: MIDI and/or CV Programm loves both!

Be hands-on (and quickly) - with its 6 orange knobs you can tweak the main parameters per step with speed and without menu diving.

PROGRAMM is built for the sketch and the deep dive. Fast enough for your first idea, deep enough to take you the whole way."
