Gator Legio: Stereo supersaw PM oscillator on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Gator Legio is a stereo supersaw oscillator inspired by the Manis Iteritas Alia core, with piles of detuned saws, phase modulation, and plenty of stereo movement.

Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Let's start with Detune. This spreads the saw voices apart in pitch, taking your sound from a tight unison to a huge, dense, swarm of saws.

Saw Mod changes the character of those waves, giving you another way to push the harmonics with that classic Noise Engineering sound.

Then there's Saw Count. This switch changes the number of saw waves in the swarm.

And since Gator is stereo, the Stereoness switch spreads those voices across the stereo field for an even wider sound.

The inputs are for phase modulation. Feed in another oscillator and you can take that supersaw into much stranger territory.

And send a gate to the 8vA input and Gator instantly jumps up an octave, giving you another fun way to animate a sequence.

Gator is one of several synth voices available for Legio. You'll also find AT, Plus, Unda, Reso, and plenty of completely different percussion voices and effects to swap in over USB.

DevOcean Modular | MIDI Effects Chord Generator and Arpeggiator Chain #modularsynth #sounddesign

video upload by Ocean Swift / Faxi Nadu

Press release follows:

"Ocean Swift has released version 1.2 of DevOcean Modular, its modular synthesis and sound design platform. The update adds thirty-five modules, headed by a complete MIDI effects section - Chord Generator, Scale Enforcer, Strummer, Random Notes, MIDI Delay, Velocity Processor and Humanizer - which operate on note data rather than audio.

A second group unbundles functionality that previously lived inside larger multimode modules. Compressor and Limiter, Bracket EQ, RBJ Multimode Filter, the AD, AHD and ADSR envelopes and the Display family are now also available as single-purpose modules, carrying fewer controls to wire and to expose.

The Capsule Manager, which lets a builder give any patch a custom front panel and compile it into a shareable .osmodule file, gains sprite and font skinning, hyperlink labels, styled input and output labels, and exposable XY and sample views that can act as drop targets. The release also includes performance work across undo, the browser and canvas polling, plus new tutorials and factory content.

DevOcean Modular 1.2 is available now for 35% off at €129.99

The demo is the full instrument - every module and preset, no time limit, saving disabled."

Reliq - Rlx 1.9.0: Build Your Own Hybrid Instrument

video upload by Reliq Instruments

"A single Reliq track can now play four Eurorack oscillators and an FM synth at the same time. Rlx 1.9 adds Custom Track Outputs: each of a track's eight voices can go to a different MIDI output, CV output or gate, so one track becomes an instrument you build out of the gear you already have. It also brings a redesigned Clip page, Sheet navigation, Clip Loops, freely assignable CV modulation and a Scale Detector.

Curves & Membranes 1.4.0 | Expressive MPE & Paraphonic Synth Sounds

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"Curves & Membranes 1.4.0 adds new MPE performance, 4-voice paraphonic synthesis, and velocity-controlled waveform morphing. This no-talking sound demo goes through 10 new presets using those features, from expressive pads and keyboard sounds to rhythmic and more experimental synth patches.

There are 20 new presets in the update in total. The ten in this video are played first dry and then with some Geometry Reverb added.

The three main new performance features are:

Expression / MPE Mode
MPE pressure controls the amplitude envelope and oscillator brightness, CC74 / Slide moves through the Oscillator Preset slots, and pitch bend is expanded to 48 semitones. Preset Slew controls how smoothly CC74 interpolates between waveform geometries.

Sound Design BEAST! 3rd Wave 8M gets New Firmware

video upload by The Midlife Synthesist

"3rd Wave 8M gets a big update! In this video I explore the wavemaker and the new Shimmer Reverb effect"

3rd Wave Shimmer Verb Demo (No Talking)

video upload by Groove Synthesis

"Shimmer Verb is a brand new reverb effect in 3rd Wave OS 2.0. Check out some of the sounds it's capable of in this demo performed by Christian Frentzen.

The idea behind a shimmer effect isn't new, but the way we've built ours gives you a lot of freedom to create and control inside the synthesizer. Most importantly, it sounds great without harshness or the need to EQ.

This Shimmer will give you the ability to shift the pitch in fractions of a semitone across a full two-octave range, from one octave down to one octave up, which means you're not limited to complete octave or semitone shifts. Dial in something in between, and you'll land on intervals that most shimmer effects can't reach, from lush and consonant to genuinely dissonant and unsettled, depending on where you land and how you play into it.

Examples:
00:00 - Lush Bells
00:24 - Falling Shimmers (Pitch Envelope)
00:45 - Warm Shimmers
01:30 - Detuned Warmth
02:00 - Snappy Verb
02:26 - Sidechain Shimmer (LFO-modulated)
03:04 - Long and Dark (Pitch -12)"
