"The new updates for TX–6 and TP–7 introduce some new features like enhanced sequencer functionality with customizable options, link mode, extended midi functionality, extended gain range, mix-down mode, and more. update your device via our update utility tool and read more about the new functions in the user guides.
TX–6 OS update 1.3.0
TX–6 is our battery-powered ultra portable pro-mixer and multi-functional audio interface with 6 stereo channels, or 12 if you split them to mono. great for quick setups on the go or in your studio. packed with features like effects, midi, usb recording, beat detection, an instrument tuner, synth, sequencer, drum machine, and much more.
user configurable sequencer patterns alongside the 22 factory-loaded patterns, the TX–6 now supports six additional user-configurable sequencer pattern slots. each of these allows for per-step pitch assignment, making it possible to compose custom melodic sequences.
pattern chaining once you’ve made your own sequencer patterns, you can start chaining them together. instead of looping just one pattern, this update lets you combine up to four, giving your tracks more variation.
slide the TX–6 now includes a slide (portamento) function, allowing precise control over pitch transitions when sequencing waveforms for more refined melodic expression.

"Supercritical Synthesizers has just released a new firmware update for the Redshift 6 and it’s available on their website. Firmware Update 1.3 introduces 6-part multitimbrality and multitimbral presets.
With Redshift 6, multitimbrality is always at your fingertips. Its user interface is built from the ground up to enable a seamless workflow between mono- and multitimbral setups. Under the hood, Redshift 6 is always multitimbral — there’s no need to switch to a specific multitimbral mode. A new multitimbral synth part can be activated with just the push of a button. Each part can be polyphonic, paraphonic, or monophonic, and each can have its own unique character.
With each of the Redshift 6’s six voices capable of generating up to 16 oscillators for a total of 96, the Redshift 6 offers an impressive expansion in overall polyphony. A single voice supports up to five paraphonic notes simultaneously, each featuring dual oscillators and a noise source. These notes can have independent amplitude shaping, thanks to the Redshift 6’s dedicated DCO ENV envelope generators.

"Patch Notes is a series of instructional videos designed to help you get the most out of Gliss and provide a source of ideas for fuelling your own experiments and discoveries. Together we will explore possibilities opened by placing Gliss in the midst of a larger patch rather than directly to its final destination, by mixing signals to combine touch control with traditional modulation sources and connecting to unlikely destinations.
The updated Gliss firmware introduces the ability to sync events in your modular system to the length of a recorded gesture, and much more besides. Upgrade for free: https://bela.io/upgrade-gliss.html"
In this video, we explore how to access the new global modulation options added to Muse's MOD MAP in v1.4 firmware.
Firmware v1.4 introduces a wealth of new modulation options: six new global modulation sources (two global LFOs, two global envelopes, and two global random trigger sources) and 23 new modulation destinations—including the much-requested ability to modulate every delay parameter, down to each individual character function.
These new options exponentially expand the sound design possibilities on Muse, opening the door to entirely new sonic landscapes and microcosms to explore.
2. Muse | Per-Timbre Sequencer Probability
In this video, we explore how to use the new per-timbre probability options added to Muse's sequencer in the new v1.4 firmware.
While firmware v1.4 expands Muse's sequencer capabilities in many ways—perhaps the most powerful enhancement is the ability to dial in different generative behaviors per timbre. This enables incredibly deep and detailed methods of introducing probability into your compositions, allowing Muse's sequencer to act as an improvisational partner.
Randomness is a powerful tool for adding surprise and movement to your music, and Muse's sequencer offers a compelling way to incorporate interesting musical twists and turns into your exploration of sound and compositional form.
3. Muse | Dynamic Chorus
In this video, we explore how to use some of the new features in Muse firmware version v1.4 to create dynamic chorus and interactive diffusion patches.
Muse firmware v1.4 allows for modulation of all parameters of the DIFFUSION DELAY using the six new global modulation sources. We first look at how to create a basic chorus sound by using short delay times in the DIFFUSION DELAY and modulating the delay times very gently using the global LFOs.
(Note that PITCH-SHIFT should be selected as the time mode in the DIFFUSION DELAY "More" menu to enable pitch artifacts reminiscent of those found on beloved analog BBD or tape delays.)
We also look at how to integrate Muse’s expressive controls, such as the Mod Wheel, keyboard Aftertouch, and Macro knob to control various parameters of both chorusing and diffusion. A twist on our patch uses the global envelope generators to increase the chorusing rate over the duration of our notes, which will function differently depending on if multi-trig is enabled or disabled for the global envelopes.
4. Muse | Fading Modulation
In this video, we explore how to use some of the new features in Muse firmware version v1.4 to create modulation routings that fade over the course of a note’s duration.
Muse firmware v1.4 introduces a handful of new functions to the MOD MAP which allow you to fade in or out a modulation routing over time. We take a modulation routing that uses global LFO 1 to modulate both delay times in the DIFFUSION DELAY and apply the new fade functions to fade the chorus effect over time.
FADE A fades the modulation in from the onset of a note, while FADE D fades modulation out from the start of a note. FADE R sustains the modulation routing for as long as a note is held and then fades it out when notes are released. Finally, FADE AR applies both an attack and release envelope to the modulation, combining our fade in/out behavior into one handy function. For all fading functions, the amount sets the time of the fade from shorter to longer.
5. Muse | LFO Envelope Mode
In this video, we explore how to use the envelope mode added to Muse's LFOs in the v1.4 firmware.
Firmware v1.4 introduces a bevy of new features to Muse, unlocking countless exciting modulation possibilities. LFO envelope mode is one powerful addition that allows the LFOs to behave more like an envelope.
When you press a key, the LFO will run through a single cycle of its waveform and then pause. When combined with some of the unique user waves found in LFOs 1 and 2 (and now global LFOs 1 and 2, as well), envelope mode enables a wide range of new, key-triggered movements to enhance your sound design experience with Muse.
"Skulptur, the performance-focused filterbank plugin by Bram Bos and Hainbach (iPad, iPhone, Mac) just got an update allowing you to use it as a midi CC controller for other iOS apps, or for hardware or desktop software etc that are able to receive midi CC messages from your iPad.

Native Instruments Plugin and Expansions MPC Editions compatible with Force. Users can purchase - Analog Dreams, Cloud Supply, Nacht, Sway, Homage, Lone Forest, Faded Reels, Hazy Days, Rare Vibrations, Global Shake"
Two LFOs: Expand your sound design possibilities with a second LFO for all voices. It works like the first LFO except that it does not have Attack or Delay parameters. It has no hardwired AM/FM mod on the operator, so it should be used in the mod matrix.
UI Improvement: Volumes for all 6 operators can now be edited at the same time. When you are on the Base tab, operators become color-matched to the encoders that control their volume.
Global > Display > Startup Bank: allows to choose which Patch or Voice bank you want to load on startup.
Mod Matrix: Added each slot's ratio as modulation destination. To produce the intended effect modulations have to be put in the right order (eg. slot 1 modulates slot 2 that modulates another parameter), otherwise modulations will occur across voices (which can be used for more complex effects).
