"Wield phenomenal power with Memory V, Arturia’s definitive software reimagining of the legendary Memorymoog. A titanic, front-of-mix analog instrument built for commanding leads, bold brass, and true polyphonic depth — delivering unmistakable vintage weight with modern stability and control. Harness the raw, expressive character of a true analog classic, reborn for today’s production workflows.

Memory V captures the colossal analog character and triple-oscillator architecture of one of the rarest polyphonic synthesizers ever made, recreated with Arturia’s advanced TAE® technology and expanded with modern modulation, arpeggiation, effects and expressive workflow integration.

From towering brass and dense basses to evolving leads, cinematic pads and unstable analog textures, Memory V delivers the unmistakable weight of early-80s polyphonic synthesis in a reliable, production-ready instrument.

_A true Analog Titan

Memory V honors the architecture that defined an era of polyphonic synthesis, and adds the tools you need to push it further.

Best-in class recreation

Discover the weight, movement and edge of the original hardware, preserved through component-accurate TAE® modelling of its oscillators, filter, mixer, drive and analog non-linearities.

Triple-oscillator architecture

Three free-running oscillators per voice deliver the harmonic depth that set the Memorymoog apart. Stack Square, Ramp and Triangle waveforms, shape pulse width and sync oscillators for rich, animated sounds

Legendary ladder filter

Shape sound with a modelled low-pass ladder filter per voice, complete with 24 dB and 12 dB modes, self-oscillation and Bass Compensation to preserve low-end weight at higher resonance.

Authentic analog feel

Use Vintage and Dispersion controls to introduce continuous analog drift, then fine-tune variation across pitch, pulse width, levels, cutoff, emphasis, modulation and envelope times.

Modern modulation and FX

Drag-and-drop modulation, a four-layer Multi-Arp and a 4-slot FX rack with 17+ studio-grade effects bring contemporary sound design into the legendary Memorymoog architecture.

300+ mix-ready presets

Explore a curated library of dense, front-of-mix sounds spanning vintage brass, saturated basses, cinematic pads, evolving textures, expressive leads and modern electronic tones.

"Meet DVNA, a compact chord & texture synthesizer from Doboz."

Prologue to DVNAvideo upload by Doboz



DVNA walkthrough

video upload by Doboz

"DVNA is a compact synthesizer built for creating rich harmonic textures with minimal effort. Play a single key and get a chord, or intervals of your choice across its four oscillators... monophonic input, polyphonic results.

A built-in note quantizer locks your pitch to any of 25 scales, while the tuning modes let you dial in everything from fixed chord voicings to free microtonal tuning. Oscillator mixing and stereo panning are controlled through morphing systems, so a single knob sweep transforms your entire mix at once. The signal then flows through a stereo multi-mode filter, overdrive, and a choice of reverb or delays.

The 12-key capacitive keyboard responds to finger contact area, generating a continuous pressure signal that can be routed throughout the instrument. DVNA also accepts MIDI over TRS, syncs to MIDI clock, and responds to MIDI CC for external control. 128 presets capture all parameters, keeping your favorite patches ready to recall instantly."

midiphy zetaSID: bassline engine (new firmware v1.5)

video upload by midiphy

"Introducing bassline engine: integrated, stereo-linked 303-style sequencing for zetaSID. Two modules on bass, two on percussion, some external FX in the chain.

What's in the patch:
two zetaSIDs linked via phybus carry the stereo bassline
patterns are switched live from the user interface. Sync To Measure stays active, so every pattern change lands cleanly on the next bar. The zetaSIDs stay step-locked across the polychain throughout
the joystick is spliced into LFO1 for hands-on modulation in real time
the fader is spliced into filter cutoff and forwarded to all zetaSIDs: live SID filter sweeps, no menus
two more zetaSIDs run the drums, triggered by gates from the modular, no MIDI used

What's new in firmware v1.5:
zetaSID bassline engine: 303-style 16-step sequencer, eight patterns per channel, per-step note / octave / gate / slide / accent / one freely assignable parameter, two LFOs and an additional envelope with curvature
three new input sockets per module: SEQ STEP, SEQ RESET, SEQ PATTERN. Splice them through phybus and your modular drives the sequencer directly with clocks, sequence reset triggers and pattern select CVs
pair two zetaSIDs over phybus for a true stereo bassline patch that stays step-locked
non-bassline feature: individual instrument attenuation for drum engine
non-bassline feature: 180° screen rotation support (mount your zetas upside-down, if you want :-))

Move got HACKED!!! w/ Native Classic Synth Engines

video upload by AudioPilz

"Hey everybody, as frequent viewers of this channel will know Ableton Move was an instabuy for me when it was released in 2024. Seamless integration into Live, tried and tested instruments and FX and a slick form factor turned my gear acquisition syndrome up to 11.

Unfortunately, the little groovebox had been collecting dust ever since - mostly because of a lack of essential features we will talk about in a bit.

However, not only did Ableton iron out major flaws in firmware 2.0 - Move also got hacked in the most beautiful way possible and is now capable of running classic synths right on the machine.

Korg USA's Joe Castronovo Joins NAMM Urging Congress to Exclude Tariffs

(SEATED L-R Joe Castronovo, Jake Connolly. STANDING L-R: NY Representative Tom Souzzi, and Melissa Heche)

Press release follows:

Joseph Castronovo, President of Korg USA Joins NAMM's Washington DC Advocacy Fly-In Urging Congress to Exclude Musical Instruments, Components and Materials from Tariffs

MELVILLE, NY – On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, Joe Castronovo from Korg USA joined a delegation of NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Members, music industry leaders, and advocacy partners to meet with members of Congress and urge relief from tariffs on musical instruments, accessories, components and raw materials. The 20th NAMM Advocacy D.C. Fly-In welcomed new and returning advocates from all over the U.S., including 100 music business leaders and professionals representing all 50 states. Joe Castronovo from Korg USA represented the state of New York as part of the delegation advocating for tariff relief that would benefit music retailers, manufacturers, educators, and students nationwide.

“Each time we come back to Washington, it reinforces how important it is for our industry to speak with one unified voice. These conversations matter - lawmakers are listening more closely, and there’s a growing understanding of how tariffs impact a highly global, specialized supply chain like ours.

But the reality is, tariffs don’t just affect manufacturers - they directly impact small retailers, increase costs for customers, and make it harder for students and first-time players to access music. That’s why it’s so important to be here: to connect policy decisions to real-world consequences and advocate for solutions that protect both our industry and access to music.” Joe Castronovo

Tariffs on musical instruments and related products threaten to raise costs for music retailers, schools, and students at a time when access to music education has never been more important. NAMM Members traveled to Capitol Hill to make the case directly to lawmakers that tariff exemptions for music products protect American jobs, support music educators, and keep instruments accessible for the next generation of musicians.

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
