Jynth – Physics Analog Synth

video upload by Fingerlab

"Meet Jynth, the new synth by Fingerlab for iPhone, iPad and Mac — the warm, analog soul of the iconic Roland Juno-106, reimagined with a groundbreaking Physics Engine for organic, living sound.

Get it now for free on the App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jynth-p...

Designed for leads, basses, keys & pads, Jynth delivers that classic vintage character you love — housed in a meticulously crafted, photo-realistic interface that looks as good as it sounds.

Shape your sound with a full analog-style signal chain:
From the dual oscillators and resonant VCF filter to the ADSR envelope, LFO and built-in arpeggiator — every parameter has been carefully tuned to feel as musical as it sounds.

Go further with 5 studio-grade effects:
Tremolo, Flanger, Chorus, Delay & Reverb — stack them to build rich, evolving textures and cinematic soundscapes.

Bring your presets to life with the Physics Engine:
This is where Jynth truly stands apart. Assign up to 8 physics-driven modulations to any synth or effect parameter. Gravity, bounce, impulse, angle — let the laws of physics shape your sound in ways no LFO ever could. Every preset becomes unique, every performance feels alive.

Play anywhere, plug into anything:
Jynth is universal — one purchase gives you the full experience on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Use it as a standalone app or load it as an AudioUnit (AUv3) plugin directly inside your favorite DAW. Pair it with your MIDI controller via MIDI In support, and your sound is always there — even when your screen is off, thanks to Audio Background mode.

Curves & Membranes - Software Bézier Monosynth w. Orbital Modulators & Membrane Filter

3. Curves & Membranes | Synthesizer Patch Creation & Sound Design Walkthrough
4. Curves & Membranes v1.1.0 | New Features and Sound Examples

6. Unusable Engineering Jam | Curves & Membranes in a Different Context
7. Unusable Engineering Update | Curves & Membranes Features and Grain Discharge
8. Unusable Engineering Breakfast Jam | Curves & Membranes + Full Bundle

"Curves & Membranes is a focused mono synth built around a shapeable Bézier oscillator, two visual modulation systems, and a membrane-based filter. In this full walkthrough I go through the core ideas behind the instrument, how the oscillator works, how the preset morphing and orbital modulators create movement, and how the membrane filter shapes the sound.

The goal with Curves & Membranes was not to make a do-everything synth, but to build something more specific: a synth where sound, shape, and motion are tightly connected, and where the structure stays easy to understand while still allowing a lot of character and timbral movement.

Playlist:

1. Synaptic Resonance | Neural Vocoder Walkthrough

Synaptic Resonance is a neural vocoder-style effect where incoming audio, or an optional sidechain, excites a two-dimensional neural simulation. That simulation is then read back somewhere else and used to animate a bank of forty steep resonant band-pass filters.

In this walkthrough I go through the basic idea behind the plugin, show how the Stim Plane and Read Plane shape the behavior, and explain how the neural controls affect the way the model reacts, spreads, remembers, recovers, and settles.

The core idea is fairly simple: the input excites the model, and the output is affected by reading the model. That is what gives the plugin its character. It can behave like a vocoder, a resonant filter instrument, or something more unstable and alive depending on how it is set up.

Tone2 Releases Gladiator 4.2

"Tone2 Audio has updated their harmonic-content-morphing synthesizer Gladiator to version 4.2. The update free for anyone who bought Gladiator 4. Owners of Gladiator 1,2 or 3 can upgrade with a big discount.

What's new?

New additive synthesis modes for the 'UNISON MODE':

'Additive partials' stacks 4 disharmonic 'organ' oscillators. You can use the 'SPREAD' knob to change the ratio.

'Additive bell' stacks 4 disharmonic 'bell' oscillators. You can use the 'SPREAD' knob to change the ratio.

New additive synthesis modes for the 'PHASE MOD' spectrum:

'Tune partials +' detunes the higher partials of a spectrum without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.

'Tune partials -' detunes the partials in reverse direction. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.

'Splash tune' heavily detunes the partials without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.

'Fluppy tune' heavily detunes the partials without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.

'Crackles' creates random phase garbage.

Enhanced sound:

The new quality mode 'ultra high-end' calculates oscillators with double precision and 4x oversampling.

The enhanced FFT precision results in more accurate resampling of waveforms.

Replaced 'Reverb Large' with a much better unit. It has a smoother rolloff and more detail.

Gradient Noise [stereo version]

video upload by John C.S. Keston

"On May 11, 2026 I premiered my piece Gradient Noise at the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) in Hamburg, Germany. The following video represents a stereo, studio recording of the performance. The performed piece was quadraphonic and contained one to four layers of instruments with independent, corresponding, video objects.

Since 2019 I have been composing animated graphic scores for ensembles and soloists. Examples include collaborative works like Parking Ramp Project or SYNTAX, solo pieces like Rhodonea. These generative works are projected for both the performers to read and audience to experience. I write the software that generates and animates geometric forms, and then establish rules on how the forms are read, whilst allowing improvisation and the emotional response of the performer to play an integral part in each piece.

Gradient Noise, written using the Processing.org language, translates values generated by the Perlin noise algorithm into independent layers of seamless loops repeating at variable intervals. These loops are visualized as geometric forms, abstract visualizations, and evolving structures. The data generated is aleatoric, but the values can be tuned to range between slowly moving gradients or rapid, angular forms. When the sound and visuals are synchronized I respond not only to the animation but also to the changes in the timbre of my instruments."

The final word in distortion has just been said. You may throw all your distortions in the TRASH, now. With a great help of Dr. Distorstein we created a weapon of mass distortion.

Haiku Generative Music Album by Giorgio Sancristoforo for Mac OS Released

Giorgio Sancristoforo's Haiku Generative Music Album is now available for download. You might remember the demos from previous posts here.

It's a fascinating concept. According to Giorgio Sancristoforo:

"Haiku is not an instrument, it’s a music album in the form of software.

Haiku is a work of generative music that builds its own sound from nothing each time you open it, and never plays the same way twice — a record that exists only while it is playing."

Be sure tee the Giorgio Sancristoforo website for his additional creations including dedicated experimental software synthesizers. You can also find posts featuring them via his label below.

Meet Meow Seq

video upload by Floof Audio

"Meet Meow Seq, a VST3 sequencer inspired by modular setups.
Download the free trial from floofaudio.com

Full version is 25% off for the first two weeks (until June 15).

Meow Seq is a sequencer, a MIDI phrase writer, and a creative kick in the pants to your everyday piano-roll-oriented life.

At its core, two machines work together to generate a single MIDI output. The top machine controls timing, when notes happen and for how long. The bottom machine controls pitch, which notes play and how. Both machine contains five sequencers, all running independently with their own step lengths and play modes. Mix and match freely to build patterns that evolve and surprise, then route the output to any hardware or software synth you like.

The inspiration comes from Eurorack-style sequencing, where multiple sequencers interact to control time, pitch, and modulation in complex and sometimes chaotic ways."
