OXI One New Tutorial FW 4.2: Learn the New SNAPSHOTS Feature


video upload by OXI Instruments

"Since firmware version 4.0, our focus has been on enhancing the OXI One sequencer's performative capabilities and introducing a couple of significant features. This video tutorial will cover the all-new Snapshots feature added in FW 4.2!

Snapshots allow you to temporarily save the state of all four sequencers and revert to that state after making any adjustments in your patterns, such as changes to notes, modulations, or sequencer settings like mute states.

It's perfect to create transitions in your performances.

GAME ON‼️ with CORAL and the new 3VCO Engine


video upload by OXI Instruments

"In this patch Batumi is sending CV modulation to one of the Voices running the new 3VCO engine. One modulation to Harm input (frequency of the second oscillator with respect to the main one), the Morph input (frequency of the third oscillator) and Timbre (morphs from Triangle to Square waveforms).

The detuning controls (Harm and Morph) are finely calibrated to easily align with musical intervals

This was a happy accident since the modulation was meant for a different sound engine. It turned out pretty good.

The other voices are playing the bassline, kick, snare and hihats.

The upcoming Coral firmware includes a Delay FX, OXI One is modulating the send amount of the snare to the delay.

New Analog Heat +FX OS



via Elektron

"Ramp up the randomness with this new OS for Analog Heat +FX. 1.01 brings a handful of new features - several of which put the power of happy accidents at your fingertips. Play with parameter randomization, random name generation, LFO slew, momentary active, and enjoy a bunch of improvements that make your Heat +FX experience a little smoother.

Parameter randomization

Easily randomize parameter pages with the touch of a button in the pursuit of the left field. Then revel in the result, keep on searching, or dial it back.

Random name generator

Want to pour all your creativity and time into your sound but can’t stand the sight of untitled presets? We’ve got your back. Let the machine take over naming duty, and get set for unexpected results.

LFO slew

Smooth over your LFO transitions from one random position to another with slew. More slew lets you take your time with the switch and keep things less drastic.

Momentary active

Add to the unpredictability by toggling your Heat +FX Active or not. Cast whatever effect you want with ease, as long as you like.

Extra parameters

You have deeper output and audio control courtesy of a new output gain parameter added to the preset setup menu, and an FX to USB parameter added to the audio routing menu.

Plus more

There are also improvements to performance, navigation, and display. Check the release notes for a full list."

Blokas Midihub 1.15 Update: Practical MIDI Workflow Enhancements



Press release follows:

Lithuanian music technology company Blokas has recently released a significant update for their standalone MIDI router and processor, the Midihub.

At the heart of Midihub lies the concept of "pipes", sort of MIDI effects. These pipes can be seamlessly utilized using Midihub’s dedicated software editor, which boasts a versatile drag-and-drop interface for input/output configurations.

Version 1.15 introduces a suite of pipe enhancements and new features aimed at refining the MIDI processing experience. This update focuses on practical improvements that expand the device's utility and ease of use for producers and live performers, with each new feature aimed at solving common MIDI challenges.

Key Features of the Midihub 1.15 Update

Enhanced MIDI Mapping Capabilities

In this update, users gain the capability to control pipe parameters using MIDI messages generated within the Midihub itself, eliminating the necessity for physical loopbacks. This opens up a realm of intriguing possibilities for internal modifiers and self-modulation techniques. Moreover, the update allows for more detailed and precise manual MIDI mapping, enhancing control and customization.

Revamped Clock Pipe

The clock pipe, essential for tempo management, has been improved to offer more flexibility in its placement within the signal chain. New features like mappable tap-tempo and tempo nudge buttons have been added to simplify syncing with external equipment.

Precision Modulation with 14-bit LFO

A 14-bit LFO mode has been introduced, allowing for finer MIDI modulation depth and control. The addition of a Sample & Hold waveform for LFOs enables more complex and textured sound design possibilities.

New Dispatcher and Arpeggiator Algorithms

The update brings 7 fresh algorithms to the Dispatcher and Arpeggiator pipes, including "Entirely Up Then Down" and "Entirely Down Then Up" patterns. These additions provide users with more creative options for note sequencing and pattern generation.

By valuing community feedback and prioritizing the practical aspects of music creation, with the 1.15 update, Blokas ensures the Midihub remains an integral part of the creative process, simplifying MIDI workflows and sparking new creative possibilities.

Coral got a new Engine! VCO Moog style Virtual Analog


video upload by OXI Instruments

"We kick off 2024 with a new sound engine available for Coral ! 🪸🪸

3x variable-saw virtual analog oscillators that seamlessly morphs from Triangle to Square waveforms with dynamic PWM capabilities. 2 of the 3 oscillators can be detuned in relation to the main oscillator.

The detuning controls (Harm and Morph) are finely calibrated to easily align with musical intervals, such as +7 and +12 semitones. This feature facilitates the creation of musically coherent detuning effects, while still providing the flexibility to detune by a few cents."
