G-Sonique Introduces REAL Analog Modular synths FX1 VST /AU Plug-in Instrument
video upload by G-Sonique
Press release follows:
G-Sonique Analog Modular FX – VST / AU plug-in instrument.
Analog modular synthesizers are relatively expensive, take up quite a lot of space and creating sounds is a very lengthy process (plus it is complex and not every producer can master it).
However, their sound is unique. Compared to digital synthesizers, their sound is much more organic, expressive and punchy in the mix, even though it is often mono (unless you use some stereo parts and effect modules), it sounds 3D. Simply put, their sound is not static and cold like digital synthesizers, but constantly evolving/alive/warm - thanks to the fact that electronic components behave non-linearly and under the influence of various factors (such as heat, current) their sound modulates itself every millisecond. With digital you will probably never create such lively, organic and constantly changing sounds - such sharp, cutting filters and resonances, textures, metallic analog sounds or twisted twisted effects. The sound of modular analog synthesizers will give your songs a completely different dimension, analog color, warmth and character of something real/organic. It’s the essential tool for professional sound design and adding that sought-after vintage character to your mix.
Modular synthesizers excel mainly in the field of FX, soundscapes and experimental sounds. Producers often use them for unique tension builders and complex cinematic sound effects.
So if you don't have the space and possibilities and especially the time to spend long hours programming a single sound, don't despair. We have prepared for you a multi-octave VST / AU plug-in instrument full of banks created using analog modular synthesizers. This is your shortcut to authentic analogue synthesis, instantly available as high-quality modular samples / multi-octave multi-layer banks.
The combination of digital and modular analog is very interesting and gives tracks a completely new dimension, sound and atmosphere. Get the best of both worlds: digital workflow convenience with true analogue character.
Analog Modular FX1 is perfect for many genres from different branches of psytrance such as: darkpsy / forest psytrance, also full-on psytrance, experimental zenon style progressive psytrance, night psytrance, modern goatrance, but also hitech / hightech, psycore. However, these FX sounds can also be used in other genres, for example modern techno, which is mixing more and more with other elements. Also suitable for rave music, bolder tech house, breakbeat. Also great for experimental genres, glitch, dark ambient. Modular sounds and FX are perfect for futuristic cinematic music / video game music, thriller and horror music. The sounds can also be pre-effected, making them suitable for other genres, such as dark drum and bass, neurofunk intros/stoptimes/outros, hardcore techno, gabber, industrial techno, EBM. Use them as powerful risers, drops, and complex transitions.
Includes: Analog monster modular voices, Modular laboratory experimental bubbling experiments, Alien analog FX, Spirals, Twisters, Risers, Multidimensional resonators, Distorted screamers, Alien pipes, Analog underground pipes and tubes, Organic sweeps, High pitched howling sounds, Funky twisters, Metal FX, Acid analog rave sound FXs, analog modular textures and pads, Electrostatic pulsations, Mysterious modular atmospheres, Alchemical bubbling sounds, UFO analog patches, Extraterrestrial atmospheres, Dark atmospheric sounds, Extraterrestrial analog modular samples, Metal sounds, Nonlinear modulated twisted sounds, Short spirals and spring reverb sounds, Electron and quark sounds, Electrostatic discharges, Alien animal howling sounds and much more.
Perfect for producers looking for cinematic sound design, modular synth VST, organic analog textures, experimental plugin instruments, soundscape creation tools, psytrance sound packs, modular synth FX, atmospheric VST plugins, glitch & IDM tools, techno sound design instruments, professional sound libraries for electronic music, best vst instruments for edm, modular vst plugins for mac and windows, vst synth for ambient and cinematic music, experimental analog vst download, modular synth vst free/paid alternative.
All sounds/banks are created in a wide range of octaves, ranging from C3-C4-C5-C6-C7. This ensures maximum flexibility for your sound design needs in any DAW (e.g., FL Studio, Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic Pro, Reaper, Studio One and others).

#JAMUARY2026: OUTGROWTH + MUSIKRAKEN HAND-TRACKING
video upload by Perplex On
"Love what @aqeelaadamsound and @blankfor.ms crafted with their awesome #outgrowth app ❤️❤️❤️ Here i‘m using it as a granular instrument hosted in #musikraken to use camera-tracked hand gestures to move through various waveforms. Left-right movement is mapped to sample/playback start while hand openness is mapped to grain window size. Going out of frame and back in triggers a new waveform using Outgrowth‘s round-robin playback feature. So much fun and yet so much more to explore there…"
Outgrowth is a sample-based instrument built collaboratively by Aqeel Aadam Sound and BlankFor.ms. Designed with creativity, flexibility, and performance in mind, Outgrowth provides unique, multifaceted ways to reimagine audio with your mouse or keyboard.
Outgrowth features five unique engines for processing samples:
Stem: A basic one-shot style player that repitches the sample
Retain: A granular stretching engine that sustains the sample indefinitely
Reflect: A looping algorithm that loops the sample at a consistent rate across all pitches
Radiate: An additive resynthesizer that maps each harmonic of the sample to a sine wave oscillator
Delve: A wavetable synthesizer in which the sample becomes the basis for a completely unique wavetable
Outgrowth also features five standout audio effects for shaping your sounds further:
Subvert: A unique shaper that flattens or inverts the sample’s volume
Submerge: A singular effect for adding dimensional realism to sample repitching
Strike: A dynamic control for adding an acoustic-like response to sample playback and performance
Ripple: A one-knob tape emulation handcrafted by BlankFor.ms that can be subtle, deconstructive, and anywhere in between
Smear: A pre-ADSR reverb for congealing notes and blurring boundaries between pitch and texture
And further still, Outgrowth offers a robust modulation matrix for generative or performative control over all parameters. Control every single parameter within Outgrowth via LFOs, unique random sources, velocity, note pitch, aftertouch, MPE control, and more.
Finally, Outgrowth offers a robust preset system, including more than 50 bespoke presets and over 100 samples by BlankFor.ms. Explore ethereal ambient pads, haunted lofi keys, shimmering tape-infused plucks, gnarled percussive textures, and more."

The Crow Hill Company Introduces VAULTS - TUNED GONGS
video upload by CROW HILL
"There is a cave, near Rome, Italy, and in that cave they make gongs. In this video Christian unveils the latest free offering as part of our vault range. An extraordinary quartet of tuned gongs, designed and used by meditation gurus as part of gong bath setups we decided, in this "first pancake" to leather them. Much to their sonic distress."
Press release follows:

The Crow Hill Company brings beautiful set of tuned gongs to free VAULTS… VI collection as …TUNED GONGS, a downloadable drop with a difference
EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to bring a beautiful set of tuned gongs to its free VAULTS… VI (Virtual Instrument) collection as …TUNED GONGS — germinated as a downloadable drop with a difference, effectively enabling anyone to play an extraordinary quartet of harmonised gongs designed and used by meditation gurus as part of gong bath setups in a way that was never intended by their Italian creator after being bought and sampled by composer Christian Henson, original founder of the Edinburgh-based enterprise, abiding, as always, by its Make Music, Your Music motto — as of January 8…
It is sometimes said — quite often, truth be told — that All roads lead to Rome. And although that popular proverb does not apply to The Crow Hill Company’s VAULTS - TUNED GONGS in the true sense of those words’ intended meaning, Italy’s capital city could be said to have played a passing part in the VI in question’s road to reality. Composer Christian Henson picks up the tentative thread, teasing, “There is a cave, just outside Rome, and in that cave they make gongs; we’re not sponsored by them — they don’t even know we’re making this thing. They do more than you’d expect out of a big cymbal.”
Changing tact, Christian Henson clarifies: “Ask any member of The Crow Hill team about my attention span and they will say that whilst, like most of us musos, I have the capacity for hyper-focus, I’m also easily distracted — especially when it comes to something new. We’re meant to be working on a fascinating new addition to the Origins… series, but, unfortunately, I’m easy prey for an Instagram post featuring an instrument I hadn’t heard before. Correction: I’d heard gongs before; I’ve even had the chance to play one, but none that sounded like these ones. Or rather this one. The big one. So I bought a whole tree of them! That’s what’s so fulfilling about this Crow Hill project; we get to make investments on behalf of the composing fraternity, so we all get a go.”
Get this, though. “This VAULTS… features four incredible-sounding tuned gongs that were designed, I suspect, for gong bath therapy,” theorises The Crow Hill Company’s original founder, following up with some characteristically vibrant verbiage: “Beautiful, bold fundamentals; mystical, engaging harmonics; and also a bottom end that shakes the room. I very much get the feeling that these gongs are not designed to be whacked. They really do complain when they’re abused in this way. The big one… well, she growls like a distant dragon, while the smallest protests in the shape of a scoop up an entire perfect fifth before it reluctantly settles into its fundamental. We’ve basically overlapped them and layered them to give you a quite rudimentary piano-style, chromatic instrument.”
It is fair to say, then, that the sometimes badly behaving VAULTS - TUNED GONGS sounds somewhat different to any of its software siblings. Saying that, though, its intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface) is comfortingly familiar to anyone who has laid eyes on any VAULTS… release, identical in (almost) all aspects — bar its distinguishing background colour change — to all of The Crow Hill Company’s current collection. “Front end-wise, we’ve got EXPRESSION on CC11,” continues Christian Henson. “On the gongs that are higher in pitch you do get a kind of rumble, so I would recommend being very cautious about the SUB BASS control — particularly when you close the LPF [Low Pass Filter], when there’s a super-wide low end, which is so difficult to achieve; getting that kind of fatness, but also having that stereo width is pretty incredible. If you’re confident with your bass response in your studio or on your headphones, then go for it, but this thing really does shake the room. Then we’ve got some DELAY. You can make it even wider with the REVERB, and, because we’re naughty, there’s a little bit of CRYSTALLIZER in there, which is just incredible. As always with the VAULTS… macros, they’re designed so that you can’t make it sound terrible — everything has a subtle musical quality to it.”
Concludes Christian Henson: “We’re doing something incredibly exciting; a new way of sampling, but also treating these gongs with utmost respect, appreciating their soft, infinitely nuanced harmonics that change on every hit. The distraction has become a serious one, taking weeks as they’re not easy to record. When something is shaking the room and all the air inside it, what do you mic? So we needed a test recording. What better way of ushering in 2026 than with a shuddering tree of room-shaking gongs? There are some lower dynamics in there, which will give you a sense of where we’re headed with this project — a useful tuned metallophone that’s difficult to place, but, really, the purpose of this VAULTS… is to gong these! For that odd time you need a gong for a cue, these are pure class. I also found turning my speakers up and playing at full velocity to be an excellent way of getting my teenagers down for breakfast; they don’t like them at all.”

CONCRETE [ EARLY DEMO ]
video upload by Sasha DZA
"PRE-ORDER OPEN FOR CONCRETE: https://www.lightreft.jp/product-page...
AVAILABLE AT A SPECIAL EARLY PRICE
In this video, we share the first real world tests of Concrete, without aiming for a polished or final demonstration.
We explore how the device works as the final stage in the signal chain, as a master effect, and within a mix on an individual instrument. Throughout the video, moments where bypass is engaged are clearly marked, so it’s easy to hear exactly when Concrete is affecting the signal.
Special attention is given to saturation. We’re exploring how different drive modes interact with dynamics, not as an obvious effect, but as an integral part of the signal path.
We also demonstrate sync mode and stereo operation. The filter reveals a particularly interesting character in stereo, where the interaction between channels adds depth, movement, and a sense of space that is difficult to achieve in mono.
Preorders for Concrete are now open on our website at a reduced price for the first drop. The price will increase for future batches.
https://www.lightreft.jp/"

"Concrete is a next generation compact effects processor that combines digital sound engines with a true analog filter. Each channel features its own analog high pass and low pass filters, designed for precise and musical sound shaping.
Several drive types come preloaded, while additional engines can be downloaded from our website and loaded into free slots, allowing users to build a truly personal sound.
Channels can be used independently or linked together for cohesive stereo processing.
Concrete supports full MIDI control and naturally pairs with Monolit as part of a unified studio and performance ecosystem.
During the preorder phase, Concrete is available at a reduced price for those who want to support the project from the start.
The price will increase at release.
The first Concrete drop is planned for the first half of 2026."
