VOID9 MÕNAI



via VOID9

"MÕNAI is a standalone portable multitimbral synthesizer that goes wherever your creativity takes you. The integrated battery eliminates the need for power outlets, while the compact form factor fits comfortably in a backpack. Whether you’re sketching ideas on location or performing on stage, MÕNAI delivers comprehensive synthesis capabilities without compromise.

Planned beta version release: Summer 2026

Every control on MÕNAI is positioned for intuitive access. The 8 endless encoders provide tactile feedback without physical limits, letting you sweep through parameters naturally. Touch-sensitive strips respond to the subtlest gestures – the left strip dedicated to modulation, the right offering multi-touch control across 20cm of expressive surface. The 2-axis joystick adds another dimension of real-time control.

MÕNAI integrates seamlessly into existing setups. USB Host port accepts MIDI controllers, expanding your playing surface. Standard MIDI I/O connects to legacy gear. Four CV outputs – pitch, modulation, velocity, and gate – bridge the gap to modular systems. Line-level audio input lets you process external sources through MÕNAI’s effects. This isn’t an isolated instrument; it’s a hub that enhances your existing workflow.

A Tool for Sonic Exploration
MÕNAI encourages experimentation. The two built-in microphones capture audio for immediate processing or sampling. The pedal input adds hands-free control. The combination of traditional keyboard layout and function keys provides both familiar territory and new possibilities. This is an instrument that rewards curiosity – the more you explore, the more it reveals.

The CNC-machined aluminum enclosure isn’t just aesthetically refined – it’s engineered for durability. Sandblasted and anodized in matte black, the body resists wear while maintaining a professional appearance. The integrated battery means you’re not tethered to power outlets. Whether you’re sketching ideas on a train, performing in a park, or working in a studio without available outlets, MÕNAI adapts to your environment rather than constraining it.

The workflow is immediate. Controls are positioned for intuitive access, with visual feedback from 109 LEDs across the interface. The high-resolution display renders waveforms and parameters clearly. Multiple synthesis engines can run simultaneously, each with dedicated effects and modulation routing. Sequencers maintains precise timing whether you’re working with internal sounds or triggering external gear."

Roland Future Design Lab and Neutone Introduce Project LYDIA



Press release follows:

A Technology Preview Exploring AI, DIY Culture, and the Future of Music Creation

Los Angeles, November 11, 2025 — Roland Future Design Lab, the advanced technologies research group of Roland Corporation, announces Project LYDIA, an audio processing platform preview created in collaboration with Neutone, developers of next-generation AI tools for musicians and artists. Project LYDIA merges Neutone’s trainable AI software with Roland’s hardware expertise, using a Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer to deliver a compact, stage-ready prototype that reimagines DIY innovation for a new generation.

Bridging AI and DIY Creativity
Roland’s legacy in DIY music creation began in 1981 with AMDEK (Analog Music Digital Electronic Kits), a line of build-it-yourself kits that encouraged musicians to experiment with technology. Today, Roland Future Design Lab revisits that spirit, asking how modern creators can explore sound through emerging AI tools.

AI for Sound Discovery and Exploration
Powered by Neutone’s Morpho technology, Project LYDIA, named after DIY and AI, uses “neural sampling” to learn the tonal qualities of any sound and apply it to another in real time, with the sonic results ranging from highly musical to exotic and surprising. The current Project LYDIA mockup houses a Raspberry Pi 5 computer running Neutone’s special version of Morpho alongside Roland’s latest ideas for a simple, tactile control panel. Audio I/O is currently managed via a USB-connected Roland Rubix interface, with future iterations aiming to fully integrate I/O for a completely self-contained device.


AI Innovation at Roland
Project LYDIA builds on Roland’s growing exploration of AI as a creative partner for musicians. In 2024, Roland and Universal Music Group (UMG) jointly introduced the Principles for Music Creation with AI, a framework outlining shared commitments to ethical and artist-centered innovation.
“Roland has taken a leadership role globally in practicing responsible development with AI for music creation,” said Paul McCabe, Senior Vice President of Research and Innovation at Roland. “Part of being responsible is getting input from creators on what they find useful, helpful, or inspiring, and what ideas may not be welcome in their workflows. Releasing Project LYDIA as a technology preview allows us to demonstrate possibilities, seek community input, optimize, and improve.”

Shaping the Future Together
Project LYDIA debuted at the Audio Developer Conference taking place November 10 through November 12 in Bristol, UK, inviting feedback from the creative community to guide future research in AI-driven music tools. Musicians and makers can share their thoughts and ideas via a short survey here.

To learn more about the inspiration and technology behind Project LYDIA, visit Roland’s feature story on Roland Future Design Lab.

New Binary Synth Allows You to Play Binary Code Within Any Given File


video upload by Max Alyokhin

This should go without saying, but don't drop any sensitive, private, or personal files.

"Demo: https://bs.stranno.su

Source code and application principle: https://github.com/MaxAlyokhin/binary...

A web-synthesizer that generates sound from the binary code of any files. It can synthesize sound directly in the browser, or be a generator of MIDI messages to external devices or DAWs, turning any file into a score. All the application code is written in Javascript and along with everything you need is packed into a single .html file of about 750kb. The synthesizer doesn't need internet, it can be downloaded and run locally on any device with a browser.

All data on any computer or smartphone is in the form of files. The contents of these files are ultimately just zeros and ones. And these zeros and ones are basically all the same, so we need an interpreter to extract meaning from these texts. Basically, the file format (.mp3, .docx, etc.) is just a pointer to which interpreter we need to pass the text in order to extract meaning from it.

But what if the file format and the interpreter don't match? In the case of musical experimentation, there have been earlier attempts, for example, to "play" a file through an audio editor, which expectedly produced mostly glitch and noise; it might be more interesting from a conceptual than a musical point of view.

We could go further and write our own interpreter that would look at the files without regard to format, use its own "manner of reading" the original zeros and ones, and on that basis provide a complete system for controlled synthesis of sounds.

The tool, called Binary synth, is available at: https://bs.stranno.su.

The application is a web synthesizer that runs in the browser and is written in Javascript. All the application code along with everything needed is packed into a single .html file of about 750kb.

Echograin Tranzwave 2 Software Synthesizer Inspired by the Ensoniq Fizmo


video uploads by Echograin


video upload by AMAZONA Music Mag



via Echograin

Introducing Tranzwave, a powerful wavetable Synthesizer, inspired by an unsung hero from the late 90’s: The Ensoniq Fizmo.

The flexible modulation engine, coupled with creative editing and randomization features, simplifies the creation of new, innovative sounds. Tranzwave brings all the wavetables from the Fizmo into the modern age for new creative explorations. With its user-friendly interface, Tranzwave provides complete control over wavetable and effect controls, making the creation of new sounds both fun and easy.

Tranzwave – A Tribute to Fizmo’s DNA

In the late 1990s Ensoniq pioneered “Transwaves”, a unique form of wavetable synthesis notably featured in their Fizmo synthesizer. Unlike earlier forms of wavetable synthesis, which could sometimes produce more static or stepped sounds, Ensoniq’s technology facilitated fluid transitions between different waveforms within a wavetable.
This innovation led to the creation of evolving, dynamic soundscapes. Ensoniq’s approach allowed for a more seamless and organic morphing of sounds, enabling musicians to craft rich, textured audio experiences that changed over time. This method offered a fresh and novel way to explore sonic possibilities, distinguishing it from the more digital and discrete transitions of previous wavetable synthesizers like the PPG Wave. Although the Ensoniq Fizmo, which utilized Transwaves, did not achieve widespread fame, its distinctive approach to wavetable synthesis marked a significant development in the evolution of electronic sound and influenced modern synthesis techniques.

Tranzwave brings this older, unique wavetable concept, known as Transwaves, into the modern era of music production. By sampling each frame of these Transwaves, Tranzwave offers a rich and dynamic sonic palette that captures the essence of these early digital synthesizers. It’s akin to having a vast library of colors and shades at your disposal, offering endless possibilities for creating new and innovative sounds.
