He put £15000 of Synths into SERUM and Pigments

video upload by Starsky Carr

"I sampled the Frap out of a Magnolia, an Analogue Solutions Maximus, a Pittsburgh Taiga, a Pittsburgh Voltage Lab 2, a Sequential Prophet VS, a Korg DW8000 and a Novation Peak — then chopped them into single cycle waves and turned them into 151 wavetables for Serum and Pigments.

£15,000 is roughly what those seven instruments would cost you, give or take. The pack is £15.

What's different here is what got sampled: full sweeps through the Magnolia's wavefolder, the Voltage Lab 2's complex oscillators, PWM across its whole range, the DW8000's 16 digital waves, the Prophet VS set. Not generic waveshapes — the actual character of specific, expensive, awkward instruments.

It started with a comment. Someone watched my Magnolia demo and asked how to get that tone out of their Peak. The short answer is you can't, because the oscillators don't start with the same harmonics. The long answer is this video.

Along the way I've used it as an excuse to go through the different ways a synth actually makes a tone — subtractive, FM, wavefolding and wavetable — and why the Magnolia can do three of them and the Peak can do the fourth. If you've ever wondered what people mean by East Coast and West Coast synthesis, start at 1:18."

Ableton MIDI Note Mapper

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"A drum pattern should not lose its musical identity simply because the receiving instrument uses a different MIDI note layout. A kick should remain a kick, a snare should remain a snare, and a closed hi hat should remain a closed hi hat.
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

MIDINoteMapper 2.0 is a Max for Live MIDI Effect that translates drum notes by musical role instead of applying a simple pitch shift. Select the source map and destination map, then move the same rhythm between different drum machines and Drum Racks without rewriting the MIDI clip note by note."

A Private Virtual Roland D-70 for Linux! | Sound Demo

video upload by PixelWings

"I’ve always loved vintage Roland synthesizers and wanted a D‑70, but concerns about dealing with the dreaded maintenance nightmares the D-70 is known for kept me from buying one. Eventually, I decided to make my own software recreation: D‑70v.

This is a private, completely unofficial hobby project running on Linux, created for the pleasure of exploring and playing the wonderful D‑70 sounds. The GUI interface was drawn from scratch in GIMP, inspired by the original keyboard’s front panel, with functional buttons, sliders and a data wheel. The aim was to recreate not just the sound, but the experience of operating the instrument -but optimized for a computer screen as well as being able of running on an absolute potato. The core application is approximately 450 KB, excluding the required ROM data, and CPU usage is extremely low.

This video brings together a selection of my favorite D‑70 factory patches. I spent some time playing through the factory bank and later edited my favorite moments into this demonstration. It is simply an opportunity to enjoy the sounds and share my excitement about bringing this instrument into software. All instrument sounds and effects heard in this demonstration are generated by D‑70v itself. No external synthesizers or effects were used; the clips were simply selected, edited and faded together.

This is not an official Roland product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Roland. It is purely a demonstration, not a software release. The project uses original Roland ROM data, and I am keeping it private. Neither the software nor the ROM data is being distributed, so please don’t request a copy.

Above all, this is a celebration of the D‑70 and an era of digital synthesis that I love. I adore vintage Roland, especially their legacy of late 80s and early 90s instruments, from the pro range to the "DTM" products. I hope you enjoy the demo, and please excuse my lack of playing skills."

SID SYNTH - Turn Your Commodore 64 Into a Live Synthesizer #C64 ⎍∧∿⩘

video upload by LukHash

"Here is a little demo of SID SYNTH, a software live synthesizer for the Commodore 64 and Commodore 64 Ultimate. V1.0 lands on 6 Nov 2026 as a bonus download with my new album 'Neon Airlines', and it is up for pre-order right now:
💾 https://lukhash.bandcamp.com/album/ne...
Pre-order today and the download link drops straight into your inbox the moment it goes live on release day, so there is no waiting and nothing to chase later. You get the full album with it, and pre-orders genuinely help a release like this land.

⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘

SID SYNTH is a real-time C64 software synthesizer built for playing live. It sits between two amazing programs, the instant playability of Cynthcart and the deep sound design of SID Wizard. That's the middle ground I've been missing. The ultimate tool for live performance on your favourite computer :)

For those who are interested what's under the hood:

Eight waveforms (4 main+combined ones) across three voices (six with a second SID), an adjustable ADSR with hard-restart retrigger, a multimode filter, and fully customisable PWM with its own rate, depth and sweep shapes. Add vibrato, portamento and tremolo, plus switchable ring mod and hard sync. Seven voice modes take you from full polyphony through fifths and octave stacks to arpeggios you can lock to tempo. Then you play it: live pitch bend, vibrato swells and filter swipes you can freeze and latch mid-note, for real expression and sound design beyond presets.

Build your own banks of instruments across 54 slots, save and load them to disk, and jump between sounds on the fly, so a whole set is under your fingers on stage, with a "Live Lock" to keep a stray key from changing anything mid-song.

Full MIDI in adds assignable CC to use with your DAW or any MIDI hardware, program change to switch patches hands-free, and clock sync to keep the arpeggiator in time with your drum machine or sequencer, plus a tap-tempo that sets the arpeggiator's speed straight from the rhythm you tap, so you can lock the arp to your track by ear in seconds.

Twelve reactive visualizers turn a held note into a show, and dual-SID stereo, blackout-clean recording for the real SID chip and automatic PAL/NTSC tuning finish the picture. 👾"

Tape Fiasco 2 for iPad: the whole plugin, on a tablet

video upload by Phase Fiasco

"Tape Fiasco 2 is now on iPad. Not a stripped-down companion app: the same engine that runs on macOS and Windows, rebuilt for touch, as a standalone app and an AUv3 plugin.

Download on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tape-fi...
$19, one-time purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases.

BUILT FOR IPAD
• Standalone app or AUv3 in AUM, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis, Loopy Pro, Drambo and other AUv3 hosts.
• Load your own audio as the sound source, or start from the built-in factory loop library.
• Record the output and share or save a WAV straight from the app.
• Ableton Link for tempo and phase sync across your network.
• MIDI Learn with mappings that persist across relaunches.
• Two-finger scrolling, resizable and rotatable layouts, touch targets tuned for fingers instead of a mouse.
• Background audio, so it keeps running when you switch apps.

Desktop (AU / VST3, macOS + Windows): https://www.phasefiasco.com/tapefiasco-2"

"Most audio plugins process your sound. Tape Fiasco performs it. Four independent time engines run simultaneously: a dual-grain stretcher that slows, freezes and scrubs in real time; a tape machine with wow, flutter, stop and scratch; a rhythmic slicer that repeats at any subdivision; and BendIt, a circuit-bent buffer mangler with a seven-zone pitch macro from subtle wobble to full DJ scratch, quantized to the host grid. Chain them in any order.

Behind the time engines sits another 30 effects, from spectral filtering and modal resonators to distortion, bit destruction, circuit bending and beyond, followed by a master stage with a three-band EQ, compressor, soft limiter and auto gain.

Routing goes deep. Animate any parameter with multiple modulators: LFOs, random sources, envelope followers, and bezier graph editors. Sequencers stretch, bend and stutter. The Perform section puts four macros and an X/Y pad on the front panel, each routing to up to five destinations with three-point crossfade curves, all recordable as host automation. If it moves on screen, you can automate, sequence, or modulate it."

Circuit-Bent Drum VST, OP-1 field, YAMAHA CS01 Electronica | Rest and Drop 2026-09-09 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Experimental electronica featuring synth performances and a VST inspired by a circuit-bent 1980s drum machine.

On the YAMAHA CS01, a synth lead is performed while the MOOD MKII shifts the pitch and the ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE adds delay.

On the OP-1 field, each press of the keyboard triggers a phrase from the ENDLESS sequencer. Modulation is applied using the built-in CWO effect.

The rhythm is created with Bent 505, a VST currently in development. With the Jitter switch enabled, the sound changes with every trigger."

Våld Labs KURARE | Every note is a crowd A swarm synthesizer by Våld Labs Open Beta

video upload by Våld Labs

"Two swarms of oscillators. Bring them together into a focused voice, or let them drift apart into beating textures, shifting harmonies and restless clouds of sound.

KURARE is a polyphonic synthesizer inspired by the Kuramoto model of collective synchronisation. Each oscillator responds to the others, creating sounds that gather, loosen and change as you play. The particles on screen follow the oscillators themselves, making that movement visible.

Four main controls shape the swarm:
• POPULATE adds oscillators, up to 32 per swarm.
• DECOUPLE moves from tightly synchronised tones to drifting clouds.
• DIVERGE spreads pitches into octave and overtone layers.
• EXCITE adds agitation and instability.

Explore five waveform collections, shape each swarm with SEM- or Polivoks-inspired filters, and add movement with three LFOs and two generative modulation lanes. The built-in sequencer brings seven VEKTE-derived algorithms, independent parts for each swarm and an arpeggiator.

16 voices. Two swarms per note. Plenty of room between order and chaos.

KURARE v0.5.0 is in public beta for macOS and Windows, free to download and use while the beta runs. #iOS soon.

FlatDSP Introduces RUNE for Ableton Live

video upload by Flat DSP

"Rune is a versatile synthesiser with an expressive interface, built for Ableton Live."

More Info: https://flatdsp.com/products/rune
Purchase: https://flatdsp.gumroad.com/l/rune

Additional details via the maker:

"My name is Luke Abbott, I’m an electronic music producer and have been releasing music since 2006.

Making software instruments has long been a part of my practice, and now I am gearing up to release some of them.

I set up Flat DSP to give them a home, and the first one out the door is Rune: a Max for Live synth I’ve been working on for the last 18 months.

It's a characterful subtractive synth with a responsive, playful UI that encourages you to develop and explore sounds.

The synth engine is based on wavetables I sampled from hardware gear in my studio. It has a multi-mode filter, loopable envelopes, parameter instability control, an envelope range control and has a built-in reverb effect that can be fed from the filter or the filter delta output.

The gain structure is carefully designed to add character. It has a LoFi mode that introduces digital artefacts and a controllable amount of instability threaded throughout the architecture that introduces variation. It also works with Live’s tuning systems.

All of this is controllable in the UI. Each component is fully interactive and visually conveys what it is doing. It’s designed to be fun and quick to use without having to learn it inside-out, while still offering a deep level control of the synth engine.

Many of the UI objects have a second layer of parameters, and the UI flips to expose direct MIDI mapping within Live.

It is available now, priced at $35 which I hope is accessible enough to a lot of people. I’ve enabled regional purchasing-power pricing as well for places where it is not."

Ring Modulation Sound Examples | Quadrant Modulator on a Smooth Synth Pad

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"Almost 20 minutes of Quadrant Modulator sound examples using the same smooth additive synth pad throughout, going through all the factory presets and a selection of my own patches.

There is no talking or explanation in this one. The purpose is simply to hear how wide the range of the plugin can be on one familiar source, from fairly subtle amplitude and tonal movement to obvious ring modulation, rhythmic processing, pitch-following effects, sequenced modulation and much more aggressive transformations.

The source is Partials & Discrepancies (the unusable engineering additive synth) using the preset APD-Wavelength Luminous from the free All Partially Dirty patch bank available on the Partials & Discrepancies product page.

The processing chain is the same throughout:

MOdARK

Software instrument for Mac and Windows

Prize winning composer Cristián Vogel's latest digital creation is not your conventional software instrument. It is an extraordinary and unique approach to instrument-as-world-building. Built around a stunning 3D performance interface and an equally compelling physical modelling sound core.

MODARK is a new kind of digital instrument for composers, sound designers and sonic explorers. It invites you to enter a resonant 3D world where sound is not only triggered or edited, but inhabited, shaped and performed.

At its centre is a modal physical-modelling engine: a living body of frequencies, decays, resonances and gestures. You can import or analyse source material, build impossible instruments from spectral fingerprints, excite them with strikes, bows and samples, and explore the results through a visual interface that feels closer to navigating a sonic sculpture than operating a conventional soft synth.
