The EV: A New Digital/Acoustic Hybrid Stringed-Instrument Synthesizer
video upload by Brian Lindgren
"The EV is a new digital/acoustic hybrid stringed-instrument synthesizer. The instrument’s FFT convolution algorithms combined with the unique and expressive synthesizer create a gritty and textured realism. Using a novel pitch-tracking technology the instrument achieves both high accuracy and low latency; in this way it overcomes the hurdles that have historically plagued pitch-tracking or ‘MIDI’ stringed-instruments. Most importantly, the EV is reliable, expressive, and enjoyable-to-play. The most unique feature of the EV is its sound. While the pitch-tracking technology allows for a responsive and accurate playing experience (which cannot be overvalued), the FFT convolution unlocks new dimensions of sonic possibility and a uniquely responsive electronic instrument. The parametric customizability of the synthesizers, transfer functions, and FFT engines (not to mention the timbral-responsive nature of the FFT convolution algorithms) allows for a responsive and far-reaching sonic palette. Most synthesizers utilize an interface for pitch input that forces the player to adhere to a ‘Western’ twelve-tone scale system, for example, a keyboard. As the EV is a fretless stringed-instrument, it allows for the creation of synthesized music of any particular tuning system. In this way it suggests the creation of music beyond the Western canon, suggesting myriad musical possibilities."

GENE GX
video upload by LA Priest
"GENE GX is an all analog, polyphonic synthesizer with a class A audio path.
Inspired by the earliest polysynths of the 1970s, it is multi-timbral and completely touch sensitive.
With 7 tuneable keys on each of its 3 touch sensitive keyboards (6 main keys plus one higher octave key on the right and also a silent filter envelope trigger key on the left), Gene GX can be tuned to a huge number of standard and microtonal scales using the two independent tuning, modulation and pitch bend sections, allowing you to articulate the pitch and timbre of each group as you play.
The unique all-analog oscillator design allows four different waveform harmonics to be controlled and modulated, creating shifting waveshapes and frequency ranges.
All of this is topped off with a lovely class A transistor ladder filter."

A Magic Pulsewave Introduces the OBLIQUENCER
video upload by A Magic Pulsewave
Update: New video:
OBLIQUE DUB JAM
video upload by A Magic Pulsewave
"OBLIQUENCER sequencing three+ synth voices in dubspace."


OBLIQUENCER is a melodic and rhythmic sequencer which uses basic pattern building blocks to create musical sequences. It outputs three channels of tuned analog control voltage, and three channels of analog gate signals. Unlike typical sequencers, the user does not enter sequences note-by-note. Instead, the user sets pattern behaviors and routes the resulting patterns internally to melodic and rhythmic parameters, thereby generating musical phrases or compositions. OBLIQUENCER is capable of creating traditionally musical sequences, as well as more unusual, asynchronous, and poly-rhythmic, patterns. OBLIQUENCER may even uncover for the user, a direct understanding of the mathematical nature of the melodic patterns humans emotionally enjoy. Two external inputs can be routed to clock, gate, or trigger any of the internal sub-modules. all internal patching and routing is achieved via pin matrices, with a total of more than 150 patch points. Tuning is entirely variable, and each control voltage output is capable of covering more than a 5 octave modulation range, at one volt per octave.
OBLIQUENCER comes with 40 patch pins and is housed in a handmade wooden enclosure.
OBLIQUENCER SUBMODULES:
(2) CLOCK LFOS- Create continuous square clock at user-defined rate.
(2) "DECADE RINGS" - 2 to 10 step gate sequencers
(2) "RIPPLE GATE SEQUENCERS" - clock dividers with the ability to mix each division /2 through /4096 into a gate signal.
(1) "RIPPLE MELODY SEQUENCER" - 3 bit CV pattern generator using mixed clock dividers to generate CV note pattern sequences. Continuously tunable 0-5V.
(1) MELODY BIT INVERSION MATRIX - Allows patching of other modules into the melody sequencer to alter or generate melodic patterns.
(2) "HARMONY REGISTERS" - Generate accompaniment automatically based on pattern data from the Ripple Melody Sequencer and trigger inputs. Each has independent CV tuning and output.
(3) GATE OUTPUT MATRICES - Allow routing of internal modules to trigger/gate external modules.
(2) EXTERNAL INPUTS - Gate/clock/trigger inputs to allow external control of the internal modules.
(1) AMP LINK - For connecting to AMP "Expandoor" and "Wave Expander" expansion modules. Outputs the three gate outputs, the three melody control bits, and the central clock signal on a network cable.
OBLIQUENCER SPECIFICATIONS:
DIMENSIONS: 10" X 10" X 2.5"
DC INPUT 15V DC 1A 2.1MM CENTER POSITIVE
GATE/CLOCK INPUTS: 3.5MM, 3.5 TO 12V PEAK 0 - 10,000HZ POSITIVE EDGE TRIGGERED
GATE OUTPUTS: 3.5MM 10.5V DC PEAK UNIPOLAR
CV OUTPUTS: 3.5MM 0 - 5V CONTINUOUS, UNIPOLAR

Meet the M0SS 101 Synthesizer by Andrew John March
M0SS 101 DEMO video upload by Andrew March
"A quick demonstration on how to build a patch with the M0SS-101 synthesizer."
From the creator of WVR, the the M0SS 101 virtual analog monosynth is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter.
"M0SS-101 is a virtual analog monosynth built for a pure, hands-on subtractive synthesis, packed into a compact, rugged guitar pedal enclosure.
With 26 buttons and a single encoder, M0SS-101 gives you intuitive access to a deep 42-parameter virtual analog synthesis engine. Press a button to select a parameter, turn the encoder to modify it, and monitor your signal flow via the LED system.
Using a MIDI controller, you can map any parameter via simple MIDI learn, making it easy to integrate into your setup. Up to 17 presets can be saved and recalled for quick access to your favourite sounds.
The 26 RGB LEDs use colour and brightness to represent signal flow, modulation paths, settings and selections. A separate row of 11 LEDs at the bottom gives you instant visual feedback on the currently selected parameter. I aim to offer an affordable, compact, and versatile instrument, without sacrificing features, ergonomics, or most importantly, fun. I hope you'll enjoy playing this synth as much as I have :'-)"

I like the idea of bringing esoteric modules to destop and stand along synth designs. There have been systems built around eurorack modules in the past, but I'm hoping we might start seeing more of this in the future. This with a built-in keyboard would be a dream to explore while kicking back in the recliner.

"🎛️ Novation Bass Station II Swifty Limited Edition – The iconic synth with a new look! 🎨
At Superbooth 2025, Novation celebrates the return of a classic – in a brand-new design! The Swifty Limited Edition of the legendary Bass Station II combines analog power with striking retro artwork designed by British graphic designer Ian Swift (aka Swifty)."


via Novation
Together with visionary British graphic designer Ian “Swifty” Swift, we’ve reimagined our iconic paraphonic synthesiser in his inimitable DIY style and packed it with fresh, new artist packs from Bass Station II power users Legowelt, Pecq, and Maria Chiara Argirò.
Key Features
Limited-edition colourway
Includes 60 new artist patches
Two analogue oscillators
Two characterful filters
Incudes AFX and Paraphonic modes
Analogue soul.
Since 2013, Bass Station II’s deep capability, raw character, and unbeatable value have made it a modern classic. Now, together with British designer Ian “Swifty” Swift, we’re reimagining it with a fresh, new look, that brings underground attitude to a synth that's long been a driving force in electronic music.
Powerful analogue oscillators
Bass Station II’s true-analogue signal path begins with two tuneable, syncable oscillators with four waveforms each plus, a sub-oscillator for even more low end and adjustable portamento. The two dedicated LFOs allow for modulation of other parameters via four waveforms of their own.
ELTA Music POLIVOKS PF3 mk.2


!updated version!
FILTER modes - Lowpass, Bandpass, Hi-pass, Notch.
NOISE generator - pink, white and channel balancing.
FILTER 1 and FILTER 2 - CV controls.
LINK switches to control two filters and CV at the same time with one slice knob.
SOFT/HARD cutoff control
Technical specifications:
Input audio signal level: Max 1.5 V
Modulation CV input: - 5 to +5 V or 0 to + 10V
Power supply: universal mains adapter 100-220V / 12V 1A out
Filter weight: 0,7kg
Packed weight: 1 kg
Dimensions: 175x135x50mm
WARNING! Before using the device, turn it on for 5-7 minutes and let it stand. The control transistor should warm up. So that in SOFT mode there is no feedback when the FREQ knobs are in zero position. If you overdo it. The UD1208 chips used in the filter are very sensitive and are never the same. Therefore you will not mathematically get two identical filters. Which is an advantage when using the unit in stereo.
