undo machine live demo v2

video upload by aural explorations

"Undo Machine is out: https://undomachine.com

I built a small macOS app to solve something that had been bugging me for a while: capturing my current sound, freely changing it, then returning to where I started.

I’ve come to love that kind of workflow on the Torso S-4 and T-1. It’s useful for sound design and live performance, so I wanted to bring it to my Analog Four and Novation Peak.

This video shows Capture, Undo, Return and Morph in action. Undo Machine currently supports Novation Peak, Analog Four MKII, Bitwig Studio and Ableton Live and can be controlled by any Midi capable device.

Want this for your instrument too? Download Undo Machine and run the guided device test. Your results can help me investigate whether support is possible.

Available for macOS on Apple Silicon, with a 14-day trial."

"What does it do?

Imagine you could freeze the state of your entire hardware or hybrid setup while performing, creating or producing—then explore, mutate, distort and intensify your sound, knowing you can always return to your baseline at the push of a button or smoothly morph back with a fader.
That’s Undo Machine."

NDF - New Digital Frame Synthesizer by Max for Cats

video upload by max forcats

"Available via https://maxforcats.gumroad.com/l/kojut

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

'NDF (New Digital Frame) is an eight-voice Max for Live synthesizer built on 16 sine partials stored across 8 timbre frames. Each partial has its own amplitude, ratio, FM depth, pan, shape, detune, decay and onset delay, and a frame-morph envelope blends smoothly between the frames over the life of a note."

Trilling Synths DARP: A Dreamy Dual Arpeggiator

video upload by Magical Synth Adventure

"Here's a detailed demo of the Trilling Synths DARP, an incredible dual channel MIDI/CV arpeggiator with a TONNE of musical functionality."

A powerful dual arpeggiator built for precise pitch, flexible timing and hands-on modulation. Both arpeggiators share the same scale or chord, while keeping independent control over mode, speed, floor note, octave range, gate length, glide and output behaviour. Two precision 16-bit CV outputs provide highly accurate 1V/oct tracking across a full 10-octave range. They can also operate as stepped modulation outputs, with adjustable glide between values.

A five-route CV router lets one bipolar CV input control up to five parameters at once, making it easy to create evolving patterns without extra utility modules. Each arpeggiator can advance from the internal or MIDI clock while also responding to its own trigger input, or run entirely from triggers.

Dedicated gate and wrap outputs provide a gate for every step and a trigger whenever an arpeggio completes its loop. A shared reset input restarts both arpeggiators, while MIDI can update the active scale or chord, sync other devices and send both arpeggios directly to external synths.

Tech specs

Width: 12 HP (60.6mm)
Depth: 35mm (including power cable)
Universal 10/16 pin Eurorack power
Standard 3.5mm TS jacks
Standard 3.5mm TRS Type A MIDI

GHOULBOX: FM-1 Dungeon Synth

video upload by DECIMA1

"Today I check out the FM-1 Firmware GOULBOX (dungeon synth firmware). Check out out here: https://github.com/jasonpersinger/gho..."

I think it's safe to say the M-VAVE has become a platform rather than a stand alone synth.

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

MANNER - Algorithmic Sequencer (VST / Standalone)

video upload by Laboratory 0

"MANNER is a MIDI sequencer that picks its own notes. As on a step sequencer, you set each part's rhythm; instead of placing pitches, you give it a key, a style and, if you like, the chords. It chooses the notes by the rules of harmony, voice leading and form, and plays them with a player's phrasing.

• Human manner. Timing drifts as a player's does; phrases slow down, speed up, and land back on the bar line; loudness follows the phrase.

• Song form. Sections of four phrases: an idea, its answer, a contrast and the return (A A′ B A″). Variation sets how far each section strays, from an 8-bar loop to a new variation every section; each part's Improv sets how often that part changes.

• Chords that go somewhere, toward a cadence and home. Pin the ones you want, or play it your chords: it follows what you hold, bass note included, and plays the rest.

• 4 parts (Bass, Chords, Arpeggio, Melody), each with its own rhythm and one of 27 styles, from Alberti to walking bass.

• A take is the seed for its random choices, not a stored piece: change any setting and the notes change; change nothing and it plays exactly the same notes, so a bounce matches what you heard.

• Drag the last 16 bars into your DAW as a MIDI clip.

MIDI only: use any instrument. VST3, AU and a Logic MIDI FX on macOS; VST3 on Windows; a standalone app on both.

Inspired by the original Stylophone, first introduced in 1968, the Stylophone Mini shrinks the unmistakable synth experience into a compact format made to travel. It is small enough to carry with your keys, clip to a bag or keep close at hand, yet it can still be used to play real melodies with the familiar stylus and distinctive Stylophone sound.

From David Bowie to Kraftwerk, countless artists have used Stylophone synths since 1968 and Stylophone currently offers an extensive range of products for the home and studio.

More than a collectible, the Stylophone Mini features a miniature metal keyboard, functional stylus and integrated speaker. Its simple, hands-on design makes it easy to pick up and play wherever inspiration grabs you.

Designed for music fans of all ages, it turns spare moments into opportunities to experiment, create simple tunes and share sound.

With no cables, apps or additional equipment required, the Stylophone Mini offers an immediate way for newcomers to discover Stylophone and for longtime fans to carry a little piece of synth history with them.

John Simpson, CEO Stylophone says "Stylophone is an iconic brand and we wanted to create something that allowed fast, easy creativity and also showcase a beloved synth. In the age of AI, we wanted to make something simple, fun and real".

The new model will be offered in three collectible colours: original, white and pink.

Launch date: October 8th.

Melbourne Instruments launches the Melbourne Exchange and publishes the Roto-Control API

Press release follows:

Melbourne Instruments launches the Melbourne Exchange, a free library of Roto-Control setups made by its owners

Setups for plugins, pedals and synths, plus new software built on Roto-Control's published APIs, all free to download from exchange.melbourneinstruments.com.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - Melbourne Instruments today launched the Melbourne Exchange, a free library where owners of Roto-Control, the company's motorized MIDI controller, share the setups and software they have built for it.

The Exchange opens with more than 60 entries. Plugin setups include Universal Audio's 1176 and LA-2A collections and the Distressor, plugins from SSL, Brainworx, Maag and Analog Obsession, and Logic Pro's own Compressor. Hardware setups cover pedals from Chase Bliss, Boss, Meris, Hologram, Old Blood Noise and Moog, and synths from Elektron, Moog, Waldorf and Korg. Each setup is a file that imports into Melbourne Instruments' ROTO-SETUP app, with parameter names, colors and detents already in place.

Every entry has its own page credited to the person who made it, with a download count and a clear statement of what it has been checked against: the maker's documentation, a Roto-Control, or the device itself. Owners can also confirm that a setup works with their own gear. Everything hosted on the Exchange is shared under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) license.

The Exchange also carries software that owners have built on Roto-Control's published APIs, including RotoSeq, a Max for Live sequencer by Alut in which the eight knobs reshape the clock itself, and MAP8, an extended Ableton Live script by Quixotic7.

Both of Roto-Control's APIs, a serial API for configuration and a SysEx API for live two-way control, are published in full, and the source for Melbourne Instruments' own Ableton Live, Bitwig and Logic Pro integrations is on GitHub. The Exchange includes a starter prompt for AI coding assistants such as Claude, Cursor and Copilot that points the assistant at both specifications before it writes any code.

“We're delighted, and honestly a little amazed, by what owners are doing with Roto-Control,” said Jonathan, VP of Marketing at Melbourne Instruments. “People are mapping gear we never expected and building software for it we hadn't imagined. The Exchange gives all of that a home, with the maker's name on it. And because the APIs are published, anyone can build on it, whether they write the code themselves or with an AI assistant.”

Browsing the Exchange is open to everyone. Downloading and sharing need a free account, created with an email address and a six-digit code sent by email.

The Melbourne Exchange is live now at exchange.melbourneinstruments.com.

Expert Sleepers Introduces 'Forever'

video uploads by Expert Sleepers

Playlist:

1. Expert Sleepers 'Forever' - Introduction
2. Expert Sleepers 'Forever' - Demo
3. Expert Sleepers 'Forever' and the NT Helper tool
4. Expert Sleepers 'Forever' - the web tool

"'Forever' is an audio freeze/infinite sustain effect based on the "Temporal Freeze" algorithm on the disting NT. It captures sound at a moment in time and sustains it indefinitely.

Three independent freeze voices each have their own gate input and toggle switch, and so can be triggered manually or by CVs from other modules.

Each voice can also overdub, layering up new source material into the frozen audio, and can play back detuned (defaulting to an octave down), adding weight and richness to the sound.

A USB port is provided for firmware updates, configuration, and MIDI control."

Iris Orbit Introduces PolyArp - A Two-Part MIDI Arpeggiator for Software and Hardware Synths

PolyArp + Nord Stage 3 88 | Standalone MIDI Arpeggiator Demo video upload by Iris Orbit

"A live demo of PolyArp in standalone mode with my Nord Stage 3 88, connected via MIDI.

I’m playing chords on the Nord, and PolyArp turns them into two arpeggio parts. The left-hand part uses a three-note chord in Up mode; the right-hand part uses a four-note chord in As Played mode. Both run at 1/16, but the patterns have different lengths, creating a polymetric feel.

PolyArp is a MIDI arpeggiator with two independent parts, each with its own rhythm, direction and octave range. It works standalone or as a plugin inside a compatible DAW, sending MIDI to hardware synths or software instruments.

Download PolyArp and start your free 7-day trial:

Available for macOS, Windows and Linux. PolyArp generates MIDI; the sound comes from the instruments connected to it.
