Rhythm Machine Pedal From Recovery Effects Demo

video upload by recoverysounds

"The Rhythm Machine evokes the nostalgia of early 1970s preprogrammed analog drum machines, like those from Maestro, Univox, and Ace Electronics. It captures their charm and simplicity while delivering the classic sounds of later icons such as the Roland CR-78 and TR-606, all in a compact, easy-to-use pedal. Perfect for musicians chasing retro vibes without the hassle of bulky, temperamental units, it delivers instant, playable beats for live performance, practice, or recording.

The Rhythm Machine offers 10 versatile rhythms with the distinctive kick, snare, and hi-hat sounds of old-school drum machines. Each beat can be edited on the fly to mute voices, using clean switching for seamless, noise-free transitions. Modern features, such as tap-tempo control and a gate input, make it simple to integrate with your other gear. Pedalboard-friendly, sonically compatible with effects, and powered by a standard 9V supply, it delivers the iconic sounds of vintage drum machines in a stage- and studio-ready pedal that fits seamlessly into any setup."

Bad Dog Designs OSPRAY 8 Drum Synthesizer

video upload by Pro Synth Network

"I have been very privileged to test, advise, and consult with Paul at Bad Dog Designs on this brilliant drum synthesizer. Taking circuit designs that were over 40 years old, published in E&MM magazine, Paul has recreated and refined these three drum synth designs to create OSPRAY-8, a "vintage" 21st century drum synthesizer.

Four drum modules, three cymbal modules and a clap module, triggerable via MIDI or CV and with a stereo audio output or individual mono outputs per drum, this is the sound of the nascent analog drum synth of the 1980s in a beautiful handmade case.

OSPRAY8 Analogue Percussion Synthesizer Demos

video upload by Bad Dog Designs

"After about 4 months on and off, I've got my percussion Synthesizer in a state where I'm happy with the look and sounds :)

All original 1980's circuit designs with just a few component changes for later IC's, and of course Midi In and through as well as individual trigger inputs.

The OSPRAY-8 ( Old School Percussion Right At Ya! ) comprises 8 individual modules, arranged as 4 X Drum modules / 3 X Cymbal modules / 1 X Handclap module. There is then a final control module that handles midi, midi channel selection and Stereo output.

The Drum Module can generate a multitude of sounds from Bass drums to Snares, Toms, Rimshots, bleeps and other weird and wonderful sounds.

The Cymbal Module can generate Open and Closed Hi-Hats, Gongs, Cowbells as well as other metallic oddness.

The Handclap does as it says, but will generate multiple claps with full control of frequency / resonance / ambience etc.

As each module has it's own line out and trigger in, you can join two together, so you can combine a handclap with a drum and get a really sharp and punchy snare for example.

The front panel is machined from a single piece of aluminium, the lettering engraved into the surface for a well engineered finish. The Casing is still in development, but you can see a mock up in the clip.
All the audio is straight out of the OSPRAY-8 with no processing."


via Bad Dog Designs

"The Ospray-8 is a fully Analogue percussion synthesizer, housed in a free standing desktop format. The sounds are produced by entirely analogue electronic modules, tailored for different percussive sound types. The Ospray-8 contains 8 modules connected together, comprising of 4 X Drum Modules, 3 X Cymbal Modules and 1 X Handclap module. There is then a housekeeping module that handles midi control, and stereo outputs."

SPHERICAL SOUND SOCIETY Introduces OMNICYCLONE - A Generative FM Beat Machine

Launching OMNICYCLONE. A Generative FM Beat Machine video upload by SPHERICAL SOUND SOCIETY

"OMNICYCLONE is a unique take on generative synthesizers. It's primarily focused on percussive phrases, but it can also create melodic content.

At its core lies a Yamaha OPL2 emulator that has been extensively modified to achieve things the original chips couldn't – like a fully stereo image and a complete revamp of sonic possibilities.

We've taken some of the most interesting features from WINTERMUTE, expanded the emulator further, and hybridized them with OPERA ROTAS features to birth a new generative beast that sounds surprisingly retro and modern at the same time.

You can order Omnicyclone here:

"OMNICYCLONE is a unique take on generative synthesizers. It's primarily focused on percussive phrases, but it can also create melodic content.

At its core lies an OPL2 emulator that has been extensively modified to achieve things the original Yamaha chips couldn't – like a fully stereo image. Some Yamaha chips of that era only offered hard-panned stereo (just center, left, or right). OMNICYCLONE provides 256 possible stereo positions, which sounds probably awesome.

We've taken some of the most interesting features from WINTERMUTE, expanded the emulator further, and hybridized them with OPERA ROTAS features to birth a new generative beast that sounds surprisingly retro and modern at the same time.

In this new incarnation, we've added volume bars for each channel, providing a clearer visual understanding of what's happening under the hood.

The synth is controlled by 2 banks of parameters, plus a fully-featured global LFO and global parameters for controlling each of the ADSR stages. It also includes a variety of new generative strategies that are explained in the manual.

OMNICYCLONE runs on the Fluorine hardware, meaning you can flash Fluorine's other firmwares (there are 4 different ones to choose from) in addition to the OMNICYCLONE firmware. This gives you multiple synths in one piece of hardware.

There's also a new firmware that turns the Fluorine hardware into a USB MIDI Controller with 2 banks of potentiometers. This means you essentially have multiple synths plus a MIDI controller in one device

The OMNICYCLONE firmware is closed source. Existing Fluorine users can order the digital files to easily switch between their other Fluorine firmwares and the OMNICYCLONE firmware. The USB MIDI Controller firmware is also free for Fluorine users, but the OMNICYCLONE firmware has a small fee to support its development.

Beat Friend Drum Machine Demo

video upload by audio.computer

"Beat Friend is a benevolent, semi-autonomous analogue drum machine. It wants to help."

"Beat Friend is the first offering from audio.computer, a UK-based duo making ‘benevolent, semi-autonomous music machines’. Beat Friend is an analogue drum machine, using circuits based on the ‘twin-t’s from the legendary Roland CR-78. Each drum has a slider that changes the drum’s complexity within one of the 30+ preset patterns, which already allows hundreds of variations on any given beat.

But wait! There’s more! Turning the Enthusiasm knob allows Beat Friend to add or subtract notes from the pattern as it sees fit, either keeping the pulse of the pattern or going completely off piste. It's like having an enthusiastic robot Labrador playing a 70's electronic drum kit just for you.

All the sounds are routed through a Triforce of digital and analogue effects, which...well, you just have to turn knobs to find out what they do. If you’ve ever wanted to base a track on a 7/8 samba through a bit-and sample crusher, then this is the unit for you.

And, sure, if you’re a control freak who absolutely must design every bar, you can control the drums individually via MIDI. It even includes a letterpress-printed manual, numbered to match your unit.

Beat Friend plays in glorious mono and is powered by a universal 12V power supply (included in the box)."

New Vermona drumDING DRM Drum Machine Sampler/Sequencer In the Works

Some info Google translated via Amazona.de:

"A real surprise: Vermona drumDING combines the analog drum power of the DRM-1 with a creative and live-ready sampler/sequencer. It's still a prototype, and the name isn't engraved on the front panel yet, but the concept is impressive.

drumDING consists of two separate sections that work closely together. The drum synthesizer sits at the top, exceeding the capabilities of the DRM-1 in many ways. While the DRM-1 has eight specialized channels, this one has only one instrument. However, the parameters can be tweaked to such an extent that all types of drums can be convincingly realized: kick, snare, clap, toms, percussion, cymbals, hi-hats, etc.

Anyone familiar with Vermona drums knows the level of sophistication. However, the circuitry of the DRM-1 hasn't simply been adopted; everything has been redesigned. And so some functions, such as the continuously variable filter type, have become more flexible.

The sound you've just tweaked can be sampled on the fly and programmed into the sequencer. Then you can move on to the next sound. A project can store 16 samples, which are played by six sequencer tracks.

An SD card serves as the storage medium, so a large number of projects can be available on the device.

The sequencer offers all the features you'd expect from a modern device: swing, parameter lock, polymeter, etc. Within a pattern, various functions can be applied to the sampled sounds, such as pitch, reverse, decay, as well as some DSP-based effects, including bit crusher and overdrive. The parameters can be varied per step, just like a sample selection.

The device has individual outputs for the sample channels and the analog voice channel, MIDI I/O and USB, as well as main and phones out."

1010music Bento: Demo run-through

video upload by Dan Pearson

"This is a run-through of the demo track I put together for the 1010music Bento promo video.
It's a standalone music production system with One-shot & Loop banks, Multi-sample, Slicer and Granular instruments.
It also features a massive touch screen, 16 velocity sensive performance pads, comprehensive onboard effects and bluebox style mixing."



"1010 Music's Bento is a streamlined, standalone sampling powerhouse designed for sketching beats in a café, performing a set from your lap, or orchestrating a full synth rig in your studio. Bento's elegant 7" touchscreen and sixteen pressure and velocity-sensitive pads invite tactile experimentation, while its eight endlessly reconfigurable tracks adapt to your needs: from sliced loops and sample banks to granular textures, multisamples, and even external MIDI control. Each pad has per-voice control for level, pitch, pan, modulation, and FX sends, making detailed shaping a breeze without breaking flow. It's not just that you can do everything inside Bento—it's that you'll want to.

Scene-based sequencing sits at the heart of Bento's composition engine, offering multiple modes for evolving patterns, real-time clip launching, and probability-driven generative textures. Whether you're building a layered performance or locking in precise micro-edits, Bento's sequencing feels responsive, smart, and inspiring. Modulation options run deep—LFOs, envelopes, and step sequencers are all onboard and assignable. Per-track routing lets you use reverb, delay, overdrive, phaser, and more with creative intention, whether you're sweetening a vocal chop or melting your entire mix.

On the connectivity side, Bento is exceptionally generous. Three stereo inputs and outputs, USB host/device support, dual MIDI I/O (TRS A & B), and a stereo headphone output make this a capable centerpiece in any setup. It samples effortlessly, resamples creatively, and even streams long WAV files directly from a microSD card. Tethered or untethered, Bento's equally at home thanks to its internal battery and road-ready build. For anyone tired of the laptop grind or just seeking a more focused music-making environment, Bento from 1010 Music is a compact revelation.

BENTO FEATURES

Standalone sample-based performance and composition lab
7" touchscreen with 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive performance pads
