Diatonic Diamond – Generative Harmonic Sequencer

video upload by Mute State

"Find the generative harmonic sequencer here: https://www.mutestate.com/diatonicseq...
The generative harmonic sequencer creates af diatonic field of chords from a scale, moves around between the derived chords (or intervals and triads) after a set number of bars (in this case 4) a portal into another scale and key is created ... by either reinterpreting the active chord, mutating on of the notes by a semitone, or converting it into its negative counterpart using negative harmony. In this demo the sequencer controlled an Elektron digitone, a teensy based bass synth (digitaur) and an Elektron digitakt. The sequencer has seven tracks in total, a bass track, a harmony track and a melody track and finally four drum tracks. Besides midi it also has an internal sound engine."

Overtonium - Sound Examples

video upload by Benjamin Dehli

"Some sounds from 11 of the factory presets in Overtonium."
"Played on an Expressive E Osmose CE. Everything you hear comes from the plugin, with no external effects."

Free for macOS, Windows and Linux: https://benjamindehli.github.io/overt...

"Overtonium is a 32-partial additive synthesizer laid out like a 32-channel mixer. Every channel is one sine oscillator locked to a harmonic of the played note, and every channel has its own tuning, envelope and modulation.

The control worth reaching for first is TUNE. It sweeps each partial continuously between equal temperament and just intonation. At the just end the partial sits at an exact integer ratio with the fundamental and the whole stack fuses into a single timbre. At the equal end each partial snaps to the nearest semitone and the same stack smears into a chord.

Formats: VST3, AU (macOS), LV2 (Linux) and standalone.

Free and open source under the AGPLv3."

Waldorf Wave (48 voice) Emulation in Software

video upload by Dave Whiting

"This video showcases my software recreation of the legendary Waldorf Wave—a hybrid wavetable synthesizer known for its huge digital oscillators, analogue filters and unusually complex hardware architecture.

The project is built in C++ using JUCE and is available as a standalone instrument and plug-in. Rather than simply making a modern synth that sounds similar, I’ve tried to reproduce the structure and behaviour of the original machine.

The emulation models:

• The Wave’s 250 kHz, 8-bit time-multiplexed wavetable oscillator system
• Signed mixer overflow—including the characteristic Waldorf “ASIC Mix Bug”
• Digital 12 dB high-pass filtering
• CEM3387-style reconstruction filtering, resonant four-pole low-pass filtering, VCAs and panning
• 12-bit stepped control voltages, sample-and-hold behaviour, saturation, noise and output coupling
• Three independent 16-voice WDV boards, matching a fully expanded 48-voice Wave
• The original 480 × 64 monochrome LCD and front-panel workflow

The instrument can also run authenticated Waldorf Wave OS 1.700 firmware. An emulated 68000 CPU executes the original main operating system, while a second runtime executes the genuine WDV voice-board program. Their shared-memory communication, voice-update masks, semaphores and hardware-register writes are reproduced and traced inside the model.

The oscillator ASIC itself remains undocumented, so its internal operation is represented by a behavioural model based on the Wave’s published architecture, firmware activity and known hardware characteristics. This is therefore an ongoing reverse-engineering and preservation project—not a claim of perfect, bit-exact emulation.

Ocean Swift launches Wave Editor a standalone audio editor for Windows and Apple Silicon

Press release follows:

Ocean Swift launches Wave Editor a standalone audio editor for Windows and Apple Silicon.

Ocean Swift's Wave Editor – Offers studio-grade processing without bloat and unnecessary features.

The processing is Ocean Swift's own DSP, the same code that runs in DevOcean Modular and the Sound Creator Suite. Tone shaping, dynamics, character and repair, alongside the everyday work of gain, fades, phase, silence and format conversion. It is a growing library, and it grows from a platform that has been under development for years.

Every effect can be applied to one channel or both. Loop points can be found automatically, snapped to zero crossings, and crossfaded so they stop clicking. Files carry their RIFF metadata and NKS tags intact.

These Plugins Sound AMAZING… Except One

video upload by Keith Crosley

"Space Age Strings, Traveler 1.1, Arturia MiniFreak V, and Liminal Space 2 RC6: three plugins I'm excited about, and one that's... fine. Your old pal Keith demos vintage strings, custom wavetable import, Bloom and reverse reverb, and gloriously backward shoegaze. Grab your mod wheel for another episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!

First up: Authentic Soundware's Space Age Strings, with gorgeous legatos, vintage ribbon-mic character, and serious Mancini energy. We pair those nine violins with Liminal Space 2's new Space Age Scoring Stage preset and compare the library's built-in reverb with some algorithmic spaciousness.

Then we revisit Traveler! Version 1.1 fixes the big wavetable-workflow frustrations from my previous review: now I can point it at my existing KRC Mathwaves folders without duplicating gigabytes of content. Cue polygonal bells, Morlet wavelet vowels, and a much happier Keith. We also try MiniFreak V's new user-wavetable import. It's great to have it, but I've got opinions about the workflow, the effects, and whether the software version floats my boat.

Finally, we explore my Liminal Space 2 RC6 reverb for macOS and Windows: MIDIverb II-inspired Bloom sounds, reverse-style swells, ACTUAL reversed audio, and instant imaginary Cocteau Twins guitar with Native Instruments' Electric Sunburst Deluxe. We build Bloom effects on piano, shape them with curves and wavetables, and explore Reverse Capture's Diffuse and Clear modes. Then we get dark and wobbly with Clockwarp and the new Vulture 224 filter, inspired by Alex at Vulture Culture. Woot!

Disclosure: Authentic Soundware kindly supplied Space Age Strings; this is not paid placement. I purchased Traveler myself. Liminal Space 2 and KRC Mathwaves are my own products. Liminal Space 2 is demonstrated in RC6; the RC7 Follow feature is teased for a future video."

Technos Acxel VST3 from DenverSynthLabs

video upload by manmade madman

"I always lusted after a Technos Acxel from 1984, but they didn't really exist. There were only about 4 ever made and those barely made it into public view. But there were pictures of them, and I had my imagination. So, 30 years later, I made it myself, and then I made it better.

Now available at: store.denversynth.com"

"AXCEL

Every partial, hand-drawn.
Modeled after the Technos Acxel — a Quebec-built additive synthesizer from 1986-1992, with somewhere between 30 and 40 units ever made. Two engine slots share one wave bank, one Grapher, and one mod bus: Slot A is the Acxel's additive and sinusoidal resynthesis engine, Slot B is a wavetable machine, and you can run either or both at once.

AXCEL plugin GUI

- Acxel-accurate additive engine: up to 32 partials per voice, each independently addressable on the Grapher for amplitude, phase, and detune

Ober-Moog Prototype from DenverSynth

video upload by manmade madman

"The bassline from @nineinchnails The Becoming has always haunted me. Originally done on a borrowed 'OberMoog' prototype [matrix note: see prior posts here], the original synth underwent massive engineering changes, management, and versioning until it finally became the OB-Mx, which was a "better" synth, but didn't quite sound the same. I know this, because I owned an OB-Mx. Anyways, our Ober-Moog VST gets pretty close, and goes beyond. Plus, it's got 500+ presets, an EZ button for randomization, and Hand Of God for impossible automated modulation. Available now at store.denversynth.com

How close does this get?
I guess only TR can say for sure.

#nineinchnails #vst #denversynth #obermoog #obmx"

OBERMOOG

The synth that wasn't.
A 1:1 recreation of the Oberheim OB-Mx panel, voiced as the ‘Ober-Moog’ — the pre-production prototype Trent Reznor borrowed from Richard Bugg and used for the bassline of Nine Inch Nails’ The Becoming. Never officially released, barely documented, and rebuilt here from every source that exists, contested claims included.

- Full OB-Mx architecture: dual VCO per voice, MM-VCF and SEM-VCF in series or parallel, four-stage envelopes with free-run and repeat

- Voiced specifically as the Ober-Moog prototype, not a stock OB-Mx — the one unit with its own name, its own history, and no official spec sheet


- Unison/spread/detune matching the OB-Mx's card-based voice architecture, mono or up to full polyphony

- Modulation matrix covering breath, pressure, velocity, note number, wheel, and pedal across twelve assignable destinations

- Built from every documented source on the instrument, with the honest gaps left as gaps rather than guessed at EZ button gets you into a usable patch in seconds; the panel underneath goes as deep as the original hardware did

ZEROBOY: a Zero-input mixer demo. This time with a beat!

video upload by manmade madman

"Sometimes, you just have to have a play!

Available now at store.denversynth.com"

ZEROBOY

Zero-input mixer. DIY noise artist's playground.
A digital no-input mixer: four channels, two effect returns that are full mixer channels in their own right, db-cell running as the board's own noise floor, and a live patch bay — everything you hear starts as the board's own hiss going round a feedback loop until it finds a mode. CASCADE feeds each channel into the next, wrapping channel four back to channel one; CHEAP/SOLID decides how hard the shared power rail sags and lets every channel modulate every other one through it.

ZEROBOY plugin GUI
Four mixer channels, each with seven selectable circuit topologies and Mackie-style 3-band EQ, plus a CASCADE that feeds straight into the next channel — channel four wraps back to channel one

Reverb and delay aren't send effects — they're two more full mixer channels with their own gain, EQ, and aux sends, already wired into a two-node feedback loop with each other

INFIDEL low fidelity DIY modular synth from DenverSynthLabs

video upload by manmade madman

"INFIDEL shown here put through its paces.
This is an intentionally non-musical demo to show the power and sound of INFIDEL. It gets loud. If you don't like it, good.
The point is, you've never heard a VST sound like this, ever.
What we make hasn't existed before.
So, stop chasing other people's sound, and make something that's your very own for a change.
With roughly 1/3rd of the available modules shown here, you can tweak until morning.
Just make sure you get some sleep sometimes!

store.denversynth.com"



"INFIDEL is a full modular synth built around one idea: every module runs its own cheap sign-magnitude DAC, at its own sample rate and bit depth, so the whole rack can sound exactly as broken as you want it to — on purpose. You don't have to earn that sound with a soldering iron or a twenty-minute boot sequence. Hit INIT FULL and you've got a working 47-module, 81-cable patch across four buses — lead, drone, texture, drums — before you've turned a single knob. Hit EZ on any module and it rolls a new setting that's checked to never go silent. Cables snap to the nearest free jack, drop onto an existing cable to insert a module inline, or swap one module for another while keeping every cable that matches by name. It's fast to get a sound out of, and it stays deep — a 53-module library and KEY-locked lo-fi clocking mean there's always one more place to take it.

- 53 user modules across Sources, Filters, Effects, Drums, Utilities and Logic — including an 8-model VCF BANK (CS-80, IR3109, SSM2044, CEM3320, SSM2040, STEINER, EMS DIODE, WASP) and effects ported from SpringBoy, BucketBoy, Thermion and Ironwall

- Every module runs its own cheap lo-fi DAC — RATE 1–32 kHz, BITS 2–16 — and KEY locks a module's clock to the last note played, so the grit tracks pitch instead of just buzzing underneath it

Free Roland D-50 Editor & Librarian – Edit Patches in Your Browser

video upload by Ian Dixon

"My free Roland D-50 Editor Librarian is a browser-based Web MIDI tool for backing up, browsing, importing and editing D-50 sounds without sending your patch data to the cloud.

In this video I show the full workflow from the YouTube transcript: connecting the D-50 over MIDI, enabling SysEx, reading the current edit buffer, opening a patch library, sending sounds to the synth, receiving a full bulk dump from the D-50, saving a library backup, importing SysEx banks, and editing classic D-50 patches such as Fantasia. The editor also makes it easier to work with the D-50's upper and lower tones, partials, PCM and synthesis structures, ring modulation, filter and amp envelopes, reverb, tuning and patch management.

The aim is to give the Roland D-50 a modern librarian/editor workflow: build a large library of card sounds and custom patches, search for sounds quickly, send patches to the edit buffer when recording, and avoid constantly swapping cards or managing small internal banks by hand.

NerDie 8-bit Engine — OUT NOW!! (no talking video)

video upload by Diego Capoccitti

"OUT NOW!! NerDie, played from start to finish.

NerDie is an 8-bit noise synthesizer and sequencer. Four oscillators, four LFOs, a summing tree with eight algorithms, a resonant low-pass filter and a one-bar sequencer. The whole engine runs in whole numbers at a fixed chip rate, so the overflow, the wrap and the quantisation you hear are not effects added at the end: they are the signal itself.

It runs as a plugin on Mac and Windows, and as an app on iPad and iPhone. Presets (.ner files) are the same on both, so a patch saved on the iPad opens in the plugin, and the other way round.
