The Prophet

video upload by Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"What began as a little studio playtime with a new software synth from GForce developed into this neat little EP.



I made a little demo online for social media and had a number of requests to make this track available, so you not only get that track, but also three additional tracks, all of which I made on the same day.

A little context - Few instruments have left such an indelible mark on modern music as the Sequential Prophet-5. You’ve heard it on countless recordings, from Michael Jackson’s Thriller album to Phil Collins, from Radiohead to Vangelis, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, oh the list goes on and on."

Ambient improvisation with Waldorf Microwave 1 (update V2.0, no talking, no effects)

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"All sounds of this ambient improvisation are from the Waldorf Microwave 1 plugin, version 2.0. No external effects were used. The first sound is a pad in multimode with some LFO modulations on the filter. The second sound uses the new Poly Arp, followed by a bass patch. The patterns were recorded and looped using Ableton Live.

All patches, sounds, sequences and arrangements were made by a (cat assisted) human. No AI tools were used in the creation of the music, video and artwork.

Inertia Synthesizer

video upload by Zack Berwick

"So after seeing Author and Punisher live earlier this year, I felt inspired to build my own drone machine.

These controllers consists of a 2lbs aluminum rod attached to a optical rotary encoder, while sitting atop thrust ball bearings. This encoder is then wired to an Ardunio Uno R3 measuring the RPM value along with it's rotational direction. I then used that data to control a synth patch I made in Max Msp 9 using the abl.drift and abl.roar objects along with two DMX controlled light panels using the Beam max package.

via Unusable Engineering

Today marks the release of our second synth, a multi-tap delay, a reverb and a free spatial modulator for both Mac and Windows as AU/VST3.

Partials & Discrepancies is an 8 voice additive poly-synth. The goal was to make additive synthesis accessible through a much simpler abstraction model than what you usually get, and include lots of sonic motion capabilities within a simple interface without modulation matrixes or multi page layouts. As always, we want to build instruments and effects that makes it fun to make music and that won’t slow down the creativity. Partials & Discrepancies is available for 79 euros incl. VAT. Discounts and cross-grade offers may be available on the account page for earlier costumers.

Multiple Pulsar Simulator Simulator [Buchla Lightning + Max/MSP]

early tests with Buchla Lightning + Max; once again, using a Buchla controller as a way of testing different parametric linkages / interaction strategies for what i hope will eventually become a standalone instrument. in this case, lightning is sending several position-related CCs to Max, which is running several simultaneous [gen~] patches. these patches were originally developed for several daisy-based modules i designed, namely:

2x Impulse Generator (a pulsar synthesis-based oscillator and nonlinear distortion feedback device)
1x Retention Mechanism (a granular sampler / multitap delay / pitch shifter)
1x Temporal Drag Processor (a multitap delay / resonator)

i only recently acquired the Lightning; here, i'm using it with the rings from a Buchla 222e Multidimensional Kinesthetic Input Port. the use here is quite basic, relying mostly on the Lightning "Ear's to MAX" factory configuration. no doubt i'll keep exploring more unusual ways to use it in the future

Voidcontrol MIDI Releases e7 Unofficial Editor: DAW Integration for the GS Music e7

e7 Unofficial Editor - VST3 Demo video upload by Voidcontrol MIDI

"VST3 editor for the GS e7. Real DAW automation, easily build multitimbral patches, patch library, A/B snapshots, morph, and resizable UI. Windows 10/11. Available at voidcontrolmidi.com."

Press release follows:


Voidcontrol MIDI has released the e7 Unofficial Editor, a Windows VST3 plugin that lets you control and automate the GS Music e7 from within a DAW, just like a software instrument.

The e7 is a remarkable analog polysynth with a passionate community and a genuinely unique sound, but editing it properly from a DAW has often meant menu diving on the hardware. This editor was designed to make that seamless. All 88 of the e7's parameters are on screen, laid out to mirror the front panel, with real DAW automation on every control rather than just MIDI learn.

Features include:

Full parameter control: every one of the e7's 88 parameters on one screen, with authentic readouts for oscillator tune, tempo-synced LFO rates, and waveform shapes.

Real DAW automation lanes for every parameter.

A patch librarian: browse, audition, load, rename, import and export single presets, whole banks, or full instrument backups as standard .syx files.

Multi-mode support: edit 4-part multitimbral patches with per-part level, MIDI channel, voice allocation, and key/velocity zones.

A/B snapshots with an automatable morph slider.

Two-way hardware sync: pull the synth's current edit buffer into the editor in one click, with the editor recalling its state on project load.

Init and a musical randomizer for fresh starting points.

A resizable interface with onboard help.

A standalone version is also included for use without a DAW, working as a pure hardware controller that needs no audio interface.

The editor has been tested in Ableton Live, Bitwig, Cubase, Reaper, and Studio One, with USB and 5-pin DIN MIDI, MPE support, and a one-click All Notes Off panic.

"The e7 sounds incredible. I just wanted to see all of it at once, especially the multitimbral side," said Dave of Voidcontrol MIDI.

Voidcontrol MIDI is a small US-based developer making editors for boutique and classic hardware synths. The e7 Unofficial Editor is its third release, after editors for the Roland SE-02 and Oberheim OB-6. A macOS version is under consideration.

The e7 Unofficial Editor is available now at voidcontrolmidi.com for an introductory $30 USD through July 7, 2026, after which it returns to its regular price of $40 USD.

The e7 Unofficial Editor is a third-party tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by GS Music. "e7" is a trademark of its respective owner.

Cherry Audio | Expressive Sound Design with Andrew Longhurst

video upload by Cherry Audio

"More expressive performance can be achieved through various technologies and techniques such as velocity, channel aftertouch (pressure), polyphonic aftertouch, and MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE). These features allow compatible synthesizer instruments and controllers to mimic the subtle dynamics of acoustic instruments.

In this video, musician, producer, and sound designer ‪@AndrewLonghurst‬ demonstrates his approach to expressive sound design, showcased through his collection of presets for Ensoniq ESQ-1 by Cherry Audio. He provides demonstrations of each technique using the new Expressive E Osmose CE MIDI controller and discusses his choices for setting up these advanced modulations in a preset.

These techniques can be widely applied to other Cherry Audio virtual instruments. Be sure to check the product feature listings and documentation to determine which instruments specifically support some or all of these methods. Additionally, consult your MIDI controller documentation, as compatibility for channel aftertouch, polyphonic aftertouch, and especially MPE can vary significantly in this evolving market.
