There's a New Plugin That Uses Wavetables as Spectral Filters — Wavefield by Fine Increments

video upload by Keith Crosley

"Two new uses for wavetables today — and neither is synthesis. First: smallcircles.net/waveforms, a web tool by KRC Mathwaves user Quentin that renders any audio file as stacked ridgeline plots — instant Peter Saville/Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" album cover art. (Fun fact: the cover visualizes radio pulses from pulsar CP 1919, originally plotted by Harold Craft Jr. for his 1970 Cornell PhD thesis.) Second: Wavefield from Fine Increments, a brand-new spectral filter plugin by Seth Watson that turns wavetable frames into FFT gain curves — three modes (Magnitude, Spectral IR, Phase Warp), tempo sync, stereo spread, and wavetable import. We also drop Wavefield into a Bitwig delay feedback chain for spectral delay, feature Authentic Soundware's new Space Age Colors library, and close with Liminal Space reverb for that Blade Runner/Lexicon 224 vibe. So grab your spectral filter and hold on to your pulsar for this wavetables-a-go-go episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!

─── WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ───
What the smallcircles waveform visualizer does and why wavetables are perfect input
How to export your own ridgeline waveform art as SVG for shirts, posters, and album covers
Why Wavefield's spectral filtering sounds different from EQ or conventional filter automation
How Wavefield's three modes (Magnitude, Spectral IR, Phase Warp) differ — and when to use each
How to drive Wavefield with your own wavetables, including KRC Mathwaves
How to put Wavefield inside a Bitwig delay feedback loop for a spectral delay effect

Arturia Pigments: 50 IDM Arp Presets. Complex & Experimental

video upload by Anton Anru

"☘️ Botanica is a collection of 50 arpeggio presets for Arturia Pigments.
☁️ The bank is inspired by dreamlike, nature-driven atmospheres with digital vibes. The timbres cover a wide spectrum: from warm and cold, noisy and detuned to soft and punchy, dark and bright, clean and distorted, deep and airy.

📦 The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/pigm...
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).

🧿 The preset bank places a strong emphasis on complex arpeggio sound design through the use of polymetric functionality in the arp/seq section and modulation rates, as well as a distinctly digital character achieved with wavetables, glitches, pitch shifters, noise, and bitcrusher effects.
As a result, the presets are rich in both content and movement, making them a strong foundation for tracks that require a complex and experimental sound.

🎛️ Each preset features 4 Macros and Modwheel control, making it easy to shape the timbre and adjust key parameters.
The macros are an essential part of the soundset — they can transform the timbre, control noise level and distortion, adjust the gate, and soften the sound. You can control them via a MIDI controller or automate them in your DAW.
🎚️ The Modwheel makes the timbre brighter, while velocity affects both volume and brightness.

🔮 Suitable for IDM, ambient, cinematic, pop, deep, progressive, techno, breaks, jungle, drum and bass, and more.

💡 Compatible with Pigments, Analog Lab, AstroLab.
Make sure you are using the latest software/firmware version.

For AstroLab users.
Import the bank into Analog Lab.
Send the presets to the device.

FREE SYNTH: NILS' KAWAI K1v (Kawai K1 Emulator) - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello everyone!

Here's to you my "No talking demo" of this FREE emulation of the Kawai K1 synthesizer developed by Nils Schneider, which brings back to life this iconic synthesizer!

The Kawai K1 is a famous japanese classic from 1988 and it was a massive success with both the critics and the public. The company managed to reportedly shift around 50,000 of them. There also was a rackmount version (K1r) and a tabletop option (K1m).

The key to its popularity was certainly down to its sound, which combined single-cycle additive waves with PCM samples. There was another reason though: in the late 80's this D-50-style sample synthesis was out of reach of most musicians, but then the Kawai K1 came along and it was much cheaper than the Roland D-50!

Now you can have it in your DAW with this amazing FREE software emulation!
