DevOcean Modular | MIDI Effects Chord Generator and Arpeggiator Chain #modularsynth #sounddesign

video upload by Ocean Swift / Faxi Nadu

Press release follows:


"Ocean Swift has released version 1.2 of DevOcean Modular, its modular synthesis and sound design platform. The update adds thirty-five modules, headed by a complete MIDI effects section - Chord Generator, Scale Enforcer, Strummer, Random Notes, MIDI Delay, Velocity Processor and Humanizer - which operate on note data rather than audio.

A second group unbundles functionality that previously lived inside larger multimode modules. Compressor and Limiter, Bracket EQ, RBJ Multimode Filter, the AD, AHD and ADSR envelopes and the Display family are now also available as single-purpose modules, carrying fewer controls to wire and to expose.

The Capsule Manager, which lets a builder give any patch a custom front panel and compile it into a shareable .osmodule file, gains sprite and font skinning, hyperlink labels, styled input and output labels, and exposable XY and sample views that can act as drop targets. The release also includes performance work across undo, the browser and canvas polling, plus new tutorials and factory content.

DevOcean Modular 1.2 is available now for 35% off at €129.99

The demo is the full instrument - every module and preset, no time limit, saving disabled."

Seeded Melodies, Evolving Drums — Gentle IDM Patch with Ormer Modular SHOAL (VCV Rack)


video upload by SATURATA MODULAR

"A gentle IDM patch built entirely from one sequencer — Shoal by Ormer Modular, an 8-track generative melody sequencer now officially available in the VCV Library. Each track uses a numeric seed for a deterministic, repeatable pattern.

6 tracks feed FM synth voices (Bogaudio FMOp), 2 tracks drive drums (dbRackModules Drums), with Branches adding probability-based triggering. Everything passes through Chronoblob2 delay into a shared Valley Plateau reverb.

One clock. Eight evolving voices. Nothing loops the same way twice.

Arturia Pure Sub Bass Machine - PatchFLIP


video upload by sonicstate

"We flip some patches with the ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬ Arturia Pure Sub, a monophonic bass synthesizer plug-in . It has a sub oscillator, a morphing additive harmonics generator with up to 32 partials, or a VA with morphing between waveforms , a texture engine, a filter, and up to twelve effects slots, plus a separate FX processor stage for detune, colour, presence and space.
Modulation comes from envelopes, function generators, randomisation and macros.

The sound sits firmly in modern bass territory, from Reese and wub to distorted 808s and hard front end, keeping weight in the low end while holding useful mid-range. Pure Sub is available now at 49 or 79 euros."

💿 Cybersyn - le rêve brisé


video upload by Mamotreco

"This cinematic synth soundtrack was made using Waldorf PPG plugin emulations and other VST synths. Inspired by the golden age of francophone technocratic cyber-optimism of the late 70s and early to mid 80s, as identified by ‪@GiscardPunk‬ this track was actually written in the early 2010s for a concept album that never saw the light of day.

[ LIVE ]
Use ODD-1V as a MIDI-capable live effect on your tracks. Four playheads you tune by hand. Eight-voice re-pitching from your keyboard. Full modulation on every parameter.

[ SYNTH ]
Load up to eight stereo samples across two independent layers. Four playheads each, every one with its own speed, pitch and TIME PATH. Control-click any control to make it a modulation destination.

Electric Cow Sound Chip Synth (aka MiniMOO) for Atari STE/STFM/TT/Falcon - features and sound demo


video upload by ako

Also see the Electric Cow EC909

NOTE: this is the first demo to feature the MiniMOO on MATRIXSYNTH. The only other post to featuring the MiniMOO dates back to this screenshot in 2007. The site linked there, Church of the 16th bit, is still live!

"Quick look at the Electric Cow Sound Chip Synth (aka MiniMOO) for Atari STE/STFM/TT/Falcon - including it's features and sound demos. This programme lets you access and edit parametes of the Yamaha YM soundchip to create sounds and play them back via MIDI. It's fairly decent synth tbh - the oscillator has various detuning, sub osc / 'stacking' options, capable of some nice chorus-y sounds, a noise source, amplitude modulation and LFO for pitch modulation as well as an envelope that can either be used for pitch or amplitude. The latency is useable with MIDI data that does not have too many notes per bar, and you can play it in real time, but if you throw too many notes at it, it gets a bit latent and/or seems to buffer notes and play them back after a delay. Judging by the name, I guess it was meant to be a MiniMoog emulator if sorts - but that's dubious at best despite that it's a really solid bleep bloop machine!

How Solidtrax Built a Synth Track Using Martinic Prodigy Alone


video upload by Solidtrax

"An unedited look inside the production process.

While composing a few demo tracks for Insurgent Circuits for ‪@MartinicCom‬ Prodigy, I decided to make a screen recording of one of the tracks while I was creating it: Prodigy Pulse.

At the end, you’ll hear the finished result. I don’t usually record my production sessions, so this is a rare behind-the-scenes look at how I put a track together. Hopefully, you’ll pick up a thing or two along the way.

Traveler + $10 Reverb = Cinematic Sci-Fi | Liminal Space 2


video upload by Keith Crosley

"Traveler meets Liminal Space 2 RC5, and things are getting gloriously spacious! Your old pal Keith is pairing KeySolutions Sounds' beautiful new synthesizer VST3 plugin with his haunted digital reverb synth for Blade Runner pads, supersaw bells, enormous churches, and a sitar that's somehow MORE SITAR. So grab your mod wheel, pack a spare delay line, and get ready for a REVERBS-A-GO-GO episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!

First, we dig into Traveler: its three different oscillators, gorgeous filters, gain staging, and what happens when you feed it KRC Mathwaves. There are a few Windows wavetable-import quirks to discuss. Naturally, I have opinions.

Then it's on to Liminal Space 2 RC5: new Bricasti M7-inspired algorithm banks evolved from impulse-response measurements, new Micro Pitch and Legacy Enhanced pitch shift modes, and the new Scattering diffusion mode. We compare the Bricasti-inspired "West Church" algorithm against its source IR, explore dark rooms with blooming stereo tails, and put piano, drums, and sitar into some wonderfully unreasonable spaces. There's even a Big Ass Spring. Woot!

Versions shown: Traveler 1.0.9 on Windows and Liminal Space 2 RC5. I purchased Traveler myself. Liminal Space 2 is my own plugin.

Semiotic Sequencer – Online Text Based Sequencer


video upload by Mute State

Note the above video is from January 10, 2025. It reminds me of Textquencer which made its first appearance on the site back in 2022. Sequences from Semiotic Sequencer can be exported as a MIDI file.



"The Semiotic Sequencer: Merging Music and Meaning:
https://www.mutestate.com/itu/seq_og_... [link to online version. BTW, "sequence this" makes for a good sequence - just paste it in multiple times. See this link for additional info]

The Semiotic Sequencer is a tool created by jazz musician, composer, and sound artist Tao Højgaard, known as Mute State. This tool is not just an artistic experiment but a conceptual bridge between music, linguistics, and semiotics. By translating text into musical sequences, the sequencer creates a sensory dialogue between language and sound, sparking curiosity and innovation at their intersection.

Why It Matters
At its core, the sequencer embodies a shared curiosity between science and art—a desire to explore abstract ideas and transform them into tangible, meaningful experiences. Just as science seeks answers and art provokes questions, this sequencer offers a unique way to navigate the uncharted territory between these realms. It reveals the rhythm, melody, and harmony inherent in written language, providing new insights into the musicality of language.

Vult Overon Tutorial — VCV Rack | Complete Synth Voice + Preset Showcase


video upload by SATURATA MODULAR

"In this VCV Rack tutorial, we take a deep look at Vult Overon, a complete synthesizer voice inspired by the classic Oberheim SEM architecture.

We’ll explore how Overon works, its two oscillators, state-variable filter, envelopes, LFO, VCA, internal modulation and normalled signal paths — and how to break those connections to use Overon in more modular ways.

After the tutorial, I’ll demonstrate a collection of presets and patches I made for Overon. You can download them and use them in your own VCV Rack patches.

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."

0:00 Matching a Magnolia patch on a Summit
1:18 Back to basics: the classic analog waveshapes
3:36 Subtractive synthesis, and why it's called East Coast
5:09 FM: harmonics that aren't related to the fundamental
7:22 Wavefolding, and where the gnarly tones come from
8:38 Three synthesis types in one synth — the Magnolia
9:09 Wavetable synthesis, and the one thing the Peak can do
10:08 The comment that started all this

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."
