RROAARRR with EVIL PET - a new little synth/granular/FM by ENDORPHIN.ES


video upload by Endorphin.es

"Welcome to EVIL PET - your granular processor with built-in FM radio. EVIL PET can be a synthesizer, an effect unit, a radio FM tuner, a reel-to-reel recorder, a sampler and more.

https://endorphin.es/evil-pet

EVIL PET bites incoming audio into tiny grains and plays them in new, playful, or unexpected ways. Stretch, shrink, or flip the grains to create unique sounds, textures, and effects. Layer grains to make dreamy, glitchy, or swirling soundscapes. It works with any input - guitar, voice, synth, or drums - turning ordinary sounds into something magical.

Audio can either come from: the input jacks, the built-in microphone, the built-in FM tuner or loading samples from a microSD card. Grains can be triggered by tactile PLAY key or via connected MIDI or MPE keyboard, allowing for expressive polyphonic performance and live experimentation.

video upload by Harp Lady



Pics and details via Perfect Circuit

The Solarfaze from Vongon is a stereo 3-band saturator and detune/chorus pedal that gives you exacting control over the frequency landscape of your signal. Whether you're adding a bit of undulatory warmth and saturation or assaulting the frequency spectra of your choice, Solarfaze as you covered, often surprising you with its tonal complexity. The heart of the pedal is a 3-band Bass, Mid, and Treble saturation mixer with each section offering three levels of gain: Soft, Boost, and Hard. Each band can be finetuned to one of five different frequencies, making this pedal as versatile as you are.

The Detune section offers a simple interface for adding movement and interest to your signal, affecting the stereo field, as well for a satisfying binaural experience. Adjust the Amount and Mix to your taste and turn up the Envelope control for dynamic expression that is based on your playing. Size can be adjusted as well to create a smoother or tighter detune effect. Other features include a built-in Noise Gate and an effect rerouting option. Indeed, the Solarfaze is a wonderful addition to the already incredibly Vongon lineup and is sure to find a use in any pedalboard.

SOLARFAZE FEATURES

Stereo multi-band saturator and chorus
Soft-clipping waveshapers for smooth transition from subtle warmth to heavy breakup
Bass, Mid, and Treble drive sliders
Selectable gain level per band: Soft (0dB), Boost (+6dB), Hard (+12dB)
Each band has 5 different frequency options
Stereo detune chorus with independent left/right pitch shifts
Envelope modulation of detune amount for dynamic stereo animation
Route Saturation into Detune and vice versa
Built-in Noise Gate with adjustable threshold
MIDI Input for parameter control and 9 preset storage

2025/10 - ESI Granulizer V2.0 - new features and demo on MPC ONE


video upload by Stereoping

"The ESI GRANULIZER is updated to V2. Reminder: the ESI GRANULIZER is a midicontroller allowing to play samples on the EMU ESI (and other) samplers in grains, being free in speed and position. This was the introduction video: [posted here]

New in V2:
1. improved & simplified interface
2. play sample ONE SHOT in adjustable speed without the need to turn the SAMPLE POSITION knob for traveling through the sample
3. play sample LOOPED in adjustable speed with free START and END points. If END is before START the sample will run backwards

The concept works on any sampler supplying SAMPLE STARTPOINT modulation like e.g. the MPC ONE. Thats the content of the video's third part.

A big box with even bigger sounds! Introducing BM-18M CLUSTER BOX


video upload by Behringer

"Adam Husk presents the BM-18M CLUSTER BOX, a compact modulation pedal that blends classic chorus and flanger tones with deep creative control. Switch easily between chorus and flange modes using the range rocker, then shape your sound with Drive, Output Level, and a dry/wet mix.

At Behringer, we believe in pushing the boundaries of music technology to make high-quality gear accessible to everyone. Our mission is to empower musicians at every level by delivering innovative tools at a fraction of the cost—without compromising on sound or performance."




Classic Modulation, Reimagined

The Behringer BM-18M CLUSTER BOX is a modulation powerhouse that blends the warmth of classic chorus and flanger tones with a modern edge. At its core, a simple range rocker lets you switch between lush chorusing and sweeping flange textures—but the CLUSTER BOX is anything but basic. Whether you're chasing vintage shimmer or pushing into wild, unpredictable territory, this pedal is built to inspire.

Deep Control, Limitless Texture

Beyond the familiar sounds lies an expressive control layout designed for sonic sculpting. Shape your tone with adjustable Drive and Output Level for analog-style saturation, or blend dry and wet signals to taste. A six-shape LFO selector lets you modulate Rate, Amount, Delay, and Feedback in highly creative ways—while a dedicated tap-tempo footswitch keeps your modulation locked to the groove.

Modulation Meets Modularity

From pedalboard to modular rig, the CLUSTER BOX opens up a world of routing possibilities. Control key parameters via CV, MIDI, or expression pedal, and sculpt your effects further with a dedicated feedback insert loop. USB-C integration with the Guitar Tribe App adds even more flexibility, while stereo output with DIP switch customization ensures the pedal plays nice with any setup—guitar, synth, or studio.

SOMA WARP - Part 1. Master effects (SOMA labs demo, no talk)

07:47 WAVEFOLDER Pulsar-23
09:42 WAVEFOLDER Terra



WARP is a high-quality multi-purpose audio processing unit, able to add might and magic to almost any instrument. It contains 15 different effects that can be divided into three types:

Spatial effects — ranging from traditional reverbs to granular, experimental algorithms, with pitch-shifting, reverse and micro-loops. Most of the spatial effects feature extremely long decay times, all the way to infinity. With feedback ratios above 1 you can drive the algorithm into self-oscillation for creating endless, rich, lively soundscapes out of almost any sound. To keep the sound under control with reasonable headroom and tonal aesthetic, all the generative algorithms include dedicated modules to automatically control sound levels.
Special effects — such as flanger, sample rate/bit reduction, vintage tape simulation. All special effects include unusual functions giving them a unique SOMA flavor.
Dynamic effects and filters — compressors, distortions, filters. All the effects in this category can be applied to submixes, e.g. a rhythm section group, or even to the whole mix – so one can conventionally call them master effects. All the effects in this category also have their unique extended features, SOMA-style.
All of that makes WARP a great unit for spatial processing of any acoustic or electronic instruments — guitar, vocals, strings, synthesizers etc., — as well as processing drums or complete mixes. WARP uses top-class audio chains and AD/DA-converters, same as those found in the best professional audio-interfaces made by APOGEE, FOCUSRITE, LEXICON, ECHOAUDIO, LINE 6, NOVATION. This prevents sound deterioration, even in such demanding situations as processing a complete mix. WARP has stereo inputs and outputs, compatible with both balanced and non-balanced connections. All of the sound processing is digital, including the MIX control. The AD/DA resolution is 24bit/48KHz. The internal digital processing resolution is 32bit IEEE.

WARP has a simple, intuitive interface, with instant direct access to all functions — perfect for playing live. Every processing parameter has a dedicated CV input, controllable via Eurorack systems and any CV source.

Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere Plugin


video upload by Nembrini Audio

Press release follows:


"Nembrini Audio Launches The Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere Plugin

Classic Rotary Sounds With Rich Tube Warmth And Easy Rotor Speed Control

3rd October 2025: Nembrini Audio is pleased to launch the Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere plugin, an authentic digital emulation of the acclaimed Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere MKII Rotary Speaker* simulator. Listen to it here and see it here.

In the 1960’s the Leslie Speaker System*, originally developed in the 1930’s for the Hammond Organ, began to be used for guitars by The Beatles, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour and more. In the 1990’s Hughes & Kettner, a highly respected manufacturer of instrument amplifiers, cabinets and effect boxes, created the Tube Rotosphere pedal, an extremely accurate, analog reproduction of the Leslie Speaker System.

More than thirty years later, Nembrini ‘s new plugin breathes fresh life into this cool sound with the introduction of a realistic digital simulation of the much admired Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere. Celebrated for its rich tube-driven character and highly musical rotary modulation, the original hardware was used keyboardists and guitarists seeking the iconic swirling depth of a classic rotary cabinet, with the warmth of real tube saturation. The new Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere plugin faithfully captures every nuance of its analog counterpart, offering everything from subtle to dramatic Doppler-infused motion, with can be seamlessly integrated into any rig.

Nembrini’s advanced modelling technology captures all of the lush swirl, warm tube saturation and authentic rotary motion of the original pedal. The key features of the new plugin include true to life emulation of the analog circuitry and tube preamp behaviour, independent rotor speed simulation with separate LF and HF controls allowing precise adjustment and a breaker switch for realistic ramp-up/down and rotor stop effect. There is also tube saturation modelling with visual feedback, rotor balance control for fine tuning the blend and a stereo signal path for wide, immersive rotary modulation.

The Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere plugin desktop version is available at the introductory price of $29.99 (normally $99) until the October 31st 2025.

To find out more and download the Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere plugin please go to www.nembriniaudio.com/products/hughes-kettner-tube-rotosphere"
