video upload by todbot
"Start at 1:20 for a little fun jam.
Got some time to work on "tbish" TB-303 emulator in CircuitPython.
This video shows some of the updates.
The updates include:
new mapped_pot_controller to allow the pots to have different modes
sequencer has separate lane for slides so that accent & slide can happen on same step
tbish_synth now has 4 different waveforms to choose from
can edit the sequence steps, both notes and accents/slides/mutes
can switch between sequences
can adjust bpm & steps_per_beat
actually using the LEDs

Våld Labs Tresse: a multiengine synthesizer based on Plaits, for desktop.
video upload by Våld Labs
This one was sent my way via Meska who had the following to say: "It's 'basicaly' a standalone MI Plait with 3voice and extended oscilator models."
Video description follows:
"Tresse — 3-voice polyphonic desktop synth, 38 engines
Hey all,
Been working on this for a while and it's finally at a point where I want to share it.
*Tresse* is a standalone polyphonic synthesizer built around Mutable Instruments' Plaits DSP code, running on an ESP32-S3 with a custom PCB. Three voices of polyphony, 38 synthesis engines, USB, DIN/TRS and Bluetooth MIDI, and perhaps Ableton Link and our upcoming stack (VMB) Våld Modular Bus, expected to ship this summer, and which will a new wireless comms protocol with negligible latency, auto discovery and machine mesh capabilities (to be released soon).
Also enough knobs and encoders to actually play the thing without menu-diving, and a battery for when you're bored outside of your studio.
*The core idea:* take the full Plaits engine library — all 24 algorithms — and make it polyphonic in a self-contained hardware instrument. Then keep going and add 14 more custom engines on top.
There are hundreds of options similar to this in modular systems and i thought why not bring all these god-level creative tools to bedroom, desktop producers who don't have the money or the space (or will) to mingle in the modular space, and bring them one contained box with all they need.
What's inside
*ESP32-S3* doing all the DSP across both cores (voices 0+1 on Core 1, voice 2 on Core 0, parallel render)
**PCM5102A DAC**, 24-bit output, 32kHz sample rate
*4 pots + 4 rotary encoders* through CD74HC4067 mux and MCP23017 I2C expander
*OLED display* (128×64) for patch info, engine select, preset browsing
*USB MIDI + BLE MIDI* — works with everything, no adapter needed for wireless
Custom PCB, all through-hole friendly
38 engines
The first 24 are straight from Plaits — East Coast, Phase Distortion, all three DX7 variants, Terrain, String/Chords, Chiptune, Wavetable, Speech, Swarm, Particle, the Rings modes, the three drum engines, etc.
Then 14 custom engines built from scratch:
*Karplus-Strong* — proper physical string modeling with excitation morphing (noise → impulse → tonal)
*ByteBeat* — 8 classic formulas with pitch-tracked rate, gets wild
*CZ Phase Distortion* — Casio CZ-style, three distortion shapes
*Supersaw* — up to 7 detuned saws with PWM, the obvious one but it needed to exist
*Formant* — vowel synthesis with 3 bandpass resonators, gender shift control
*2-Op FM* — clean FM with 13 ratios and operator feedback
*Wavefolder* — sine/tri/saw/square source into a proper folder with bias
*Noise Drums* — SVF-based with pitch envelope, covers kicks through metallic hits
*Modal Resonator* — 8 tuned bandpass partials, morphs from harmonic → bell → bar inharmonicity, with a bowed excitation mode
*Sympathetic Strings* — 3 coupled Karplus delay lines with controllable coupling and interval ratios
*Comb Resonator* — 4 parallel comb filters with spread control
*Drawbars* — organ-style additive with 8 Hammond-ratio partials
*Complex Oscillator* — FM into wavefolder, Buchla-adjacent territory
*Grain Noise* — granular noise with smoothing, good for textures and pads
Controls
Three parameter layers accessible via toggle buttons:
*Normal* — Timbre, Morph, Harmonics, Color on pots; Attack, Decay, FM, LFO Depth on encoders
*MOD* — Fold, Detune, Ring Mod, Chorus on pots; LFO destination/shape/speed/sync on encoders
*SHIFT* — Filter Cutoff/Reso/Env/Type on pots; Portamento, Octave, Vibrato depth/speed on encoders
Hold both buttons → engine select overlay. Double-tap MOD → system menu (randomizer, MIDI config, play mode). Double-tap SHIFT → preset browser across three banks (own patches, generated, branches).
Play modes: Poly, Mono, and chord modes (Major, Minor, 7th, Sus4, Power, Octave).
The randomizer is one of my favorite things — it generates random patches with procedural names (stuff like "Velvet Moth" or "Iron Shard"), you scroll through them with the encoder, and save the ones you like to a generated preset bank. 512 slots each for generated and branch presets, 128 for your own.
What it sounds like
Honestly covers a lot of ground. The Plaits engines already span everything from classic analog to FM to physical modeling to noise, and the custom engines fill in some gaps I wanted — proper supersaw, real Karplus-Strong, the modal/sympathetic stuff for metallic and evolving tones, and the ByteBeat engine for when you want to go full chaos. The global FX chain (filter, wavefolder, ring mod, chorus) ties everything together.
The project should be available from April 2026, in kit or assembled units! Price to be discolsed once i have the final FINAL prototype, but shouldn't hurt the wallet.
This is a *Våld Labs* project from Lisbon Portugal. Much more to come.
Would love to hear what people think, and happy to answer questions about the build or the DSP. Be aware that this is a pretty advenced prototype, but still a prototype"
https://valdlabs.com
Note they also have the Consequencer pictured left but no additional info aside from the following on it yet.
"A portable, desktop-first sequencer with modular DNA — built for the art of shaping chaos."
CubuSynth also has a Consequencer announced back in 2024, but they appear to be unrelated.
Tintinnalogia: A 17th-century technique for generative music
video upload by Electrum Modular
"Introducing my second sequencer for the Disting NT: Tintinnalogia. This Lua script (written with Claude) is an implementation of 'change ringing.' Invented in 17C England, change ringing is essentially a procedure for ringing church bells. It’s an early example of algorithmic composition, and is also proto-minimalist in its emphasis on a fixed, deterministic process. So...perfect for music-making on the modular!
All Tintinnalogia needs is a sample player with multiple trigger inputs: eg ALM Squid Salmple, Bitbox, or Disting’s own Sample Player.
Random thought: if the number of bells could be increased to 12, the script could be a twelve-tone serialism machine!

GreyScale – A Standalone MIDI Sequencer KOSMOS Powered by Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040)
This one is in via GreyScale aka plantssystem whose videos you have likely seen on the site.
"GreyScale is a compact, self‑contained MIDI sequencer built entirely around the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040).
Its minimal hardware footprint hides a surprisingly deep generative engine, combining Euclidean rhythm generation, step sequencing, probability control, and evolving melodic behavior.
The clean GreyScale UI provides immediate visual feedback — step activity, Euclid parameters, probability states — all rendered on a crisp LCD. A joystick and four dedicated buttons offer fast, tactile control, keeping the workflow musical and instrument‑like rather than menu‑driven.
GreyScale runs completely standalone with standard MIDI output, making it an ideal partner for hardware synths, desktop modules, or DAW setups.
Designed for spontaneity and long‑form generative performance, it encourages exploration and rewards experimentation. A small instrument with a refined feel, GreyScale blends DIY charm with a polished, modern sequencing experience."

Yuyo cmos synth - First try Attiny85 dco with analog cmos shaping and twin t filter
video upload by JIANT
"everything is from the synth to the zoom recorder, twin t drums, xor snare, pt2399, and cmos stuff.
attiny85 reseting the phase of 40106 oscilators, the digital control accepts 1voct from keysetp and go to the 40106 inputs through resistors, a little rc for filtering the pwm, and for this reason when you change the oscillator frequency you can get intervals and crazy stuff. is not orthodox but suits my need for Rich timbres. the dco goes to 40106 buffers , and then 4040 dividers, twin t filters, one for each of the two voices, one goes to env, vca, filter, delay, and the other one to clock divider and filter, to get the sub osc.
firmware super simple only for checking the conversion from filtered frecuency of the attiny85 to my 40106 non exponencial vcos.
currently is tracking 10 octaves really good, the trick is put a voltage divider in the cv in of the attiny because keystep has 0 to 10v and the attiny accepts 0 to 5v tehn the tracking inside the attiny converts o.5v oct to 1 volt oct. i dont know anything about coding but i made it with chat gpt and my design . source code will be in the coments ."

6. Entanglement Synthesizer by Dillon Bastan (No Talking) - Elektronick Musick
"Entanglement uses a 1D quantum wave function (Schrödinger equation) to produce evolving waveforms for use in a dual polyphonic wavetable synthesizer. You can add energy to the simulation in various different ways (wave packets/quantum particles, free draw, and waveform files) and those waveforms will evolve and transform based on the equation and your settings. You can also add environmental factors (potentials) to transform the energy/waveforms in different ways. Additionally you are able to manipulate the resulting waveform in different ways (stretching, warping, quantizing, smoothing, FM etc). You can derive your waveform from the wave function with many different equations and value options each of which offers a different sound. Each oscillator has its own independent wave function, energies, potentials and settings. Both oscillators can also be entangled adding a rich and complex modulation of the waveforms. That coupled with an internal modulation system makes this device a powerhouse for insane sound design! From basic synth sounds, to complex evolving sounds, to crazy mind blowing sounds. The evolving nature and very compelling transformations of the waveforms through the quantum wave function stands this synth apart from the many other wavetable synthesizers out there.

15 minutes with Smoothie Audio Smear, a 98-pole allpass filter
video upload by Signal Sounds and Tom Churchill
"Tom takes a look at Smear, the debut module from Smoothie Audio. It’s a dual stereo 98-pole allpass filter, and it’s capable of some pretty mind-bending spectral effects.
Buy here:
https://www.signalsounds.com/smoothie...
More from Smoothie Audio: https://smoothieaudio.com/products/smear"
via Signal Sounds:
"We say...
It's not often that we come across something genuinely new and innovative in Eurorack these days, but Smear is just that - a pair of stereo 98-pole all-pass filters that open up all sorts of strange sonic territory. Brilliant!
Manufacturer's description
Smear is Smoothie Audio’s first Eurorack module - a dual stereo 98-pole allpass filter unlike anything else in your rack.
At its core, Smear takes a deceptively simple concept - the allpass filter, usually buried deep inside reverb algorithms — and refines it into a playable, sculptural processor. A single allpass subtly shifts the phase of incoming audio while passing the entire signal unfiltered. Stack 98 poles in series, and the effect becomes striking: frequencies across the spectrum are delayed by different amounts, creating a rich spectral delay that can smear, morph, and transform sound.
Smear can be become different effects, according to how you set the parameters:
Transient Smearing & Spectral Delay that reshapes transients, can add punch
Resonator & Percussion Voice for metallic, physical-modeling tones when pushed into feedback territory
Morphing filter & Phasor for animated timbral movement
Interface & Controls
The panel is laid out symmetrically, with two identical sections (Left and Right). By default, stereo audio flows left → right → out, but a dedicated Split Mode allows each side to process audio independently.
Each section offers three core parameters — Frequency, Resonance, and Stages — each with dedicated CV inputs. Frequency and Resonance have attenuverters for precise modulation. A global Feedback control (with CV) unlocks resonant, flanger-like, and physical-modeling behaviors.
The Stage sliders reveal Smear’s hidden depth: with LEDs indicating crossfade modes between filter poles, you can dive into complex notch filtering, animated flams, and evolving timbral movement. Modulate them, and the module comes alive with unpredictable, dynamic filtering effects.

1:30 Hands on / Delay
9:54 Glitch Knob
14:23 Modulation
18:35 Dissolve
25:28 I get lost
29:44 TR-1000 / drum machine demo
34:25 Matriarch / ambient demo

"Parting is a box of pleasant surprises. Moments of chance will give bursts of a glitch delay that can smear into a reverb, modulated by tremolo or vibrato, filtered, and, most importantly, dissolved into lofi aliasing or stretched out reverse. All of this may jump around in halves and octaves of itself - it’s up to you and Parting, together.
Controls
Dissolve has two functions. Below noon, it reduces sample rate, creating an increasingly degraded version of the signal. Above noon, it reverses the signal, and repeatedly cuts the reverse clock in half as the knob is turned, creating an increasingly long and degraded reverse.
Rate sets the rate of the modulation LFO, which is also the frequency of triggers for moments of chance.
Depth sets the depth of the LFO.
Shape sets the LFO shape: Sine, Square, Reverse Saw, Saw, Random Sine, Random Square, Envelope
Chance allows random bits of signal to enter the delay/reverb buffer during an LFO cycle.
Smear adds diffusion and feedback to the delay lines, turning them into a lush reverb as the knob is turned up.
Glitch creates various clock subdivisions.
Time sets the timing of the delay/reverb, as well as the reverse.
Filter sets the cutoff point of the post-dissolve filter.
Mix sets the blend of dry and wet signal.
Aux switch for tap tempo, half speed, or preset switching.
Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise"

Tembra Modular PH LFO - Phase Shifting Wavetable LFO
video upload by Braintree56
"The Tembra Modular PH LFO is a powerful Eurorack modulation source that focuses on phase shifting and uses wavetable LFOs. I love using Phase Shift for wide stereo images and complex movement.
In this video, I demonstrate the PH LFO’s core functions and build a practical Eurorack patch that uses phase-shifted LFOs to create a wide, animated stereo field—without relying on chorus, delay, or other stereo effects.
Tembra Modular:
/ tembra.modular
https://www.tembra-modular.com/phlfo/"
LFO module provides 4 outputs, 3 with phase shift.
The PH S knob controls phase:
center = no shift,
up = maximum shift (45° / 90° / 180° depending on output),
down = the same amount but in the opposite direction.
RATE controls LFO speed.
WAVE smoothly morphs between waveforms inside the selected bank.
BANK button:
Short press: switch between waveform banks (5 banks + 1 bonus).
Hold: enter rate range selection mode.
In this mode, short press cycles rate ranges:
0.05–10 Hz, 0.05–5 Hz, 0.05–3 Hz.
Hold again to exit back to bank mode.
