MORPH-6: Algorithmic Lifeforms Synthesizer (First Explorations)

video upload by Laboratory 0

"Six observed entities share the same communication protocol, yet exhibit entirely different behaviors. The same signal manifests as a different physical reality within each: some proliferate like concrete, forming vast resonant structures; others retain an untamed, primordial roar; others persist as translucent organisms of granules, metal, rubber, and glass, sustained through endless cycles of fracture and reassembly.

The windows are not control panels, but communication terminals. What you see are not parameters, but cross-sections left behind as another consciousness passes through the medium. No label can faithfully translate them. Each algorithm is another point of contact with a different lifeform.

Or perhaps they have simply chosen to borrow our world as a place to be heard.

Coming Soon: RIPPLER – Preset Showcase

video upload by reFX

"Find out more at https://refx.com/rippler

Our forthcoming physical modeling synthesizer is nearly here! Rippler (VST/AU/AAX) emulates acoustic instruments both real and imagined, and adds a layer of subtractive synthesis to blend, enhance or solidify your sound.

Add expressive modulation, a storehouse of high-quality effects, performance controls and hundreds of presets make Rippler your go-to synth for realistic and hyper-realistic sounds alike!

In this video, you'll hear a few of Rippler's patches, demonstrating the wide variety of sounds that are possible with this synth."

Vekte Beta 1.2.0: Introducing ARP, Drumkit, and more modulations!

video upload by Våld Labs

"VEKTE 1.2 is here. 16 channels, 36 algorithms, fully deterministic — everything you see is everything it plays.

Every channel now has a mode. SEQ is the sequencer you know. ARP turns a channel into an arpeggiator that plays whatever pattern the engine generated, from your keyboard or driven by another VEKTE channel. KIT turns it into a fixed 12-note kit built from any scale. One octave, still very beta: point it at a drum kit mapped within one octave and let the algorithms play the pads.

Channels can play each other. Route a SEQ channel into an ARP channel and the sequence becomes the arp's conductor. Melodies that play melodies, chained as deep as you like.

APPROACH and FILL are two new humanizers that improvise in-scale passing notes between your notes. APPROACH sneaks short pickups in before the next note, FILL bridges the whole gap like a melodic tie. Deterministic, visible on the piano roll before they sound, always in key.

Plus ratchets with musical rates, six interpolation shapes for modulation, smarter ties that show what they play, humanize that wraps the loop, and three weeks of beta fixes. For now APPROACH, FILL and ratchet are reached through MOD lanes only. Dedicated knobs are coming.

Every patch is a short shareable key. Copy Key / Paste Key in the menu, paste yours in the comments.

Carousel: Five-Voice Round-Robin Polyphonic Synthesizer (VST3 / AU)

video upload by Laboratory 0

"Carousel is a five-voice round-robin polyphonic synthesizer built around a simple idea: a circle. Its five voices sit like seats on a carousel, and every note you play is assigned to a different one - in sequence, random, or all at once.

Each voice is a complete synth with its own oscillator, filter, and envelopes. Differences in tuning and timbre drift across the stereo field, creating a sound that is organic and quietly imperfect - like an old carousel left in the sun.

Carousel is designed to be simple. No LFOs, no presets, no complex synthesis - just pure play. A childhood that exists only in memory.

No Plan, Just Sound | Live Hardware Jam with Ableton Move × Circuit

video upload by microMarie

"Tonight was something different: no prepared DJ set, no finished tracks — just the Ableton Move, Novation Circuit and a lot of improvisation.

I built loops, switched between both machines and tried to turn spontaneous ideas into a live electronic performance. Not everything was planned, not everything was perfect — but that is exactly what makes a hardware jam exciting.

Expect melodic moments, driving drums, changing grooves and a few chaotic experiments along the way."

KOSMOS3EFX – GamePadで残響を演奏するエフェクト実験
この動画では、PureData の hidio を使用し、USBゲームパッドの入力をリアルタイムに取得して、リバーブとディレイの“残響成分”を直接コントロールする仕組みを紹介しています。
スティックやボタン操作によって、リバーブの広がり、プリディレイ、ディレイのフィードバック、モジュレーション量などを“演奏するように”変化させることができます。
展示やライブで、「触ると空間が変わる」「音が揺れる」「距離感が動く」といった体験を直感的に作り出すためのプロトタイプです。
PureData とゲームパッドだけで、空間系エフェクトを“楽器化”する試みをぜひご覧ください。"

"@plantssystem-ufo
KOSMOS3EFX – An experiment in performing reverb effects using a gamepad
This video demonstrates a system that uses Pure Data's 'hidio' to capture real-time input from a USB gamepad, allowing for direct control over the "reverberant components" of reverb and delay effects.
By manipulating the sticks and buttons, you can alter parameters—such as reverb spread, pre-delay, delay feedback, and modulation depth—in a truly "performative" manner.
This prototype is designed for exhibitions and live performances, enabling users to intuitively create experiences where touching the controller transforms the spatial atmosphere, makes the sound waver, or shifts the sense of distance.
Please take a look at this experiment in turning spatial effects into a musical instrument using nothing but Pure Data and a gamepad."

Meet YPC - An Online MPC Like YouTube Slice and Trigger Player

This one is in via Ivan Trajkovic aka deejayiwan.

You can find it at https://ypc2000.fun

It's pretty self explanatory. Just give it the ID of any YouTube video in the top YouTube URL field and trigger the pads for different clips, then explore the rest of the controls. Essentially you can sample splice any YouTube video and audio. I'm not seeing the ability to loop samples or the ability to set the length individually - the sample length appears to be global for all pads.

A. G. Cook presents SuperStarSaw | Native Instruments

Native Instruments and A. G. Cook turn his signature supersaw into a custom instrument you can play

The PC Music founder and 2025 BRIT Producer of the Year brings the stacked saw sound known for Charli xcx, and Caroline Polachek to a single synthesizer — built from his own patches

Berlin, July 16, 2026: Native Instruments has today launched SuperStarSaw, a synthesizer co-created with GRAMMY-winning A. G. Cook, British producer, PC Music founder, and one of the key architects of contemporary pop's defining sonic palette.

Supersaws, multiple sawtooth waves layered and slightly detuned against each other, are responsible for some of modern pop's most immediately recognisable textures: the wide, lush, harmonically dense quality running through Cook's work with Charli xcx, Beyoncé, Caroline Polachek, and Oklou. Building them has always meant painstaking multi-instance layering, a process Cook had refined over years of his own production work, and which became the starting point for what followed. The instrument grew out of a two-year collaboration with Native Instruments' design team, who worked directly from Cook's patches and production sessions to turn one of modern pop's most coveted sounds into something you can actually play.

🗂 It includes: 11 Keys, 8 Pads, 11 Strings, 12 Synths, 8 Drones, and 14 Textures.

📦 The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/prox...

📼 Built around the concept of imperfection, the collection blends gritty, lo-fi textures with constantly shifting timbres shaped through deep modulations.

💾 The timbral range is wide and diverse, covering dark, noisy, lo-fi, warm, deep, retro/vintage, melancholic, atmospheric, detuned, cold, distant, dull, massive, epic, bright, distorted, metallic, tense, atonal, non-harmonic, FX-like, evolving, and sweeping textures.

🎛 All presets respond to Velocity, affecting volume and brightness.
ModWheel adds expression to the sound through filter opening, detuning, vibrato, or additional movement.

🧿 These patches are versatile and can be used in any genre where a dark atmosphere is essential, such as techno, ambient, IDM, industrial, drum and bass, and others. This collection is also an invaluable resource for soundtrack composers, game developers, audiobook producers, video creators, advertisers, and social media content creators.

💡 Ensure that you are using the latest software version.
