PhenoType - Generate Synplant Patches from Text

video upload by Sonic Charge

Surprisingly no mention of AI.

"PhenoType is a free script for Synplant 2 that lets you generate synth patches from text descriptions.

Type the description of a sound, texture, or instrument, click EXE, and PhenoType will attempt to create a matching patch locally on your machine. Click EXE again for another interpretation, use the result as a starting point for further editing and evolution, or click RND and see where things go.

PhenoType runs entirely locally inside Synplant 2. No cloud processing and no internet connection required.

(All sounds in this video, including the mouse clicks and keyboard sounds, were created using Synplant 2.)"

Ableton Datashifter Max for Live Device

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

"Most glitch processors treat rhythm as something to destroy. Datashifter takes a more controlled approach. It breaks the surface of percussion while preserving the force underneath.

Designed as an Ableton Max for Live device, Datashifter captures short fragments of incoming stereo audio into an internal memory system, then reads those fragments back through multiple voices. These voices can stutter, reverse, jump to earlier moments, or shift playback speed in octave based steps.

The result is not a simple repeat effect. It feels closer to a live editing system for drum time. The groove continues to move forward, while small pieces of its memory are rearranged, folded, interrupted, and returned to the beat.

"Updated from its larger predecessor, Circuit Happy's Missing Link, Junior is both more powerful and more compact, affording you better synchronizaion of your hardware and software electronic music tools. Central to its operation is the ability to utilize Ableton Link, allowing it to sync with your DAW and other Link-compatible devices via Wi-Fi. Missing Link, Junior can connect both to existing networks or create a Wi-Fi Access Point for other devices to use when a network isn't present. As a bonus, it also outputs MIDI clock over USB and can be used to keep your MIDI gear in sync with the TRS Type-A output. With two configurable outputs A and B, you can setup the Missing Link, Junior to serve a variety of purposes: analog clocks at different division settings, Din Sync-style Run/Stop gates, and more. Simply put, the Missing Link, Junior is your be all, end all compact clocking solution.

Meet Meow Seq

video upload by Floof Audio

"Meet Meow Seq, a VST3 sequencer inspired by modular setups.
Download the free trial from floofaudio.com

Full version is 25% off for the first two weeks (until June 15).

Meow Seq is a sequencer, a MIDI phrase writer, and a creative kick in the pants to your everyday piano-roll-oriented life.

At its core, two machines work together to generate a single MIDI output. The top machine controls timing, when notes happen and for how long. The bottom machine controls pitch, which notes play and how. Both machine contains five sequencers, all running independently with their own step lengths and play modes. Mix and match freely to build patterns that evolve and surprise, then route the output to any hardware or software synth you like.

The inspiration comes from Eurorack-style sequencing, where multiple sequencers interact to control time, pitch, and modulation in complex and sometimes chaotic ways."

16 Music Lab Custom MIDI Interfaces for Yamaha CS Series

via 16 Music Lab:

Hello MatrixSynth readers,

I am Thierry Gerardeaux from 16 Music Lab, and I want to announce that my custom MIDI interfaces for the Yamaha CS series (covering everything from the CS-15 up to the legendary CS-80) are currently available.

To maintain the highest standard of quality and ensure these kits end up in the right hands (rather than with speculators), I operate strictly on a small-batch, built-to-order basis. I limit production to a maximum of 5 units per CS model at any given time. This is true boutique hardware designed for purists and demanding technicians.

The CS-80 Flagship Interface & MIDI OUT Capabilities

While I proudly cater to the entire CS line, I want to specifically highlight the interface designed for the Yamaha CS-80. Given the immense complexity and uncompromising architecture of this legendary synthesizer, retrofitting it requires absolute precision.

Crucially, this specific MIDI kit goes beyond basic connectivity by featuring a comprehensive and highly responsive MIDI OUT. It flawlessly transmits all 8 voices of polyphony, including velocity and the CS-80's signature polyphonic aftertouch, alongside real-time data from the iconic ribbon controller. This allows you to harness the CS-80's legendary expressive keyboard to control your modern DAW or other hardware seamlessly.

How it works:

Technical Validation: Before any transaction, I require a few macro photos of your synthesizer’s internals (connectors, board revisions). I personally evaluate these remotely to guarantee 100% compatibility with your specific machine.

Shipping / DIY Install: If you or your trusted local tech are handling the installation, a dedicated and highly trusted partner of mine takes care of the ultra-secure packing and worldwide shipping.

Custom Installation: For those who want absolute peace of mind, I also offer a complete, personalized installation service myself (for an additional fee).

These kits are built with uncompromising attention to detail to respect the original circuitry of these vintage masterpieces.

If you are looking to bring your Yamaha CS into the modern studio environment with a reliable, high-end MIDI retrofit, please feel free to reach out to me directly at: 16musiclab@gmail.com or visit www.16musiclab.fr

Musically,

Thierry Gerardeaux 16 Music Lab

Get yours here

The K.O.-Sidekick is a two-channel mixer with built-in effects, per-channel compressor, and three-band EQ for each channel. Compact and lightweight, each channel has a 3.5mm stereo input, a 3.5mm output, and you can even daisy chain multiple together using the Aux input.⁠ ⁠

Use the six available K.O. Performance Effects for realtime excitement—choose between a Filter, Tape Emulation, Delay, Beat Repeat, Tremolo, and Siren. A paddle control lets you do realtime manipulation when an effect is engaged and an internal beat detection will sync your effects to the audio signal.⁠ ⁠

Whether you have a pair of EP-133s, or just want a slim two-channel mixer for your set-up, the Teenage Engineering K.O.-Sidekick is a stalwart companion on studio or stage.⁠"

Filter Anime by Max for Cats

"Max for Cats crafts Software Instruments, Effects, MIDI devices, Sound Design and Samples for Ableton Live."

via max forcats

"An animated 8-band resonant filter bank inspired by the classic Moog MuRF, reimagined for Max for Live. Rhythmic pattern morphing, stereo motion, analog-style PWM sweep modulation, and dynamic envelope response transform any input into evolving spectral movement — from subtle animated filtering to deeply expressive rhythmic textures.

The device combines a playable pattern engine with touch-responsive filter animation, per-band drive, analog drift, and performance-oriented controls. Designed as both a creative sound shaper and a musical modulation instrument, it turns static audio into living motion with character, depth, and groove."

GCS Model 8 - A New Tape Machine DAW

video upload by Gulf Coast Synthesis

"I've been working for months perfecting a new DAW that captures the exact workflow and sound of analog tape. Every aspect of the tape path is emulated using data I captured from my own tape machines. You can play with the tape as its recording to record warbles, draw defects, age the tape as you play it, varispeed record, and essentially any other function that's possible on a reel to reel.

I'm gearing up to release it in the next couple weeks but am happy to send out codes for people to try it out: https://www.gulfcoastsynthesis.com/beta

It allows 8, 16, and 24 tracks and various tape types like cassette, 1/4", 1/2" and 1".

"Shadowbox is a lightweight Raspberry Pi runtime/control layer for RNBO patches: it runs on the Pi, discovers or connects to an RNBO runner, and provides a small hardware-oriented interface for viewing and adjusting patch parameters. In short, it turns a Pi into a self-contained, tactile RNBO instrument/controller box.
