Sound design with pictures - Sumu + img2utu

video upload by Madrona Labs

"In this video Cam gives you a tour of his new tool called img2utu. It can turn any picture into a partials map for Sumu, giving you a rich source of spectral sound design inspiration, or a way to hide your own pictures in the frequencies of your music! The idea is simple: every image has structure, and that structure translates into something Sumu can play. Brightness becomes amplitude, position becomes pitch, and the result is a living spectrogram you made from your picture. Whether you're feeding it vintage textures, fractal geometry, or a photo of your eggs and toast, img2utu opens up a completely different approach to building sounds from scratch. No synthesis experience required! Just a picture and some curiosity. Instructions work for Mac and Windows. Follow the links to Cam’s images and patches.

Mesmorum | Spectralis sequencing the Prophet 10, Minimoog, SH-101, Virus TI IDM Jungle

video upload by MIDERA

"After my adventure with the MKS-80, I wanted to write something with my Spectralis. This is that track.

Further... I think this is where I may conclude my time with the Sequentix Cirklon 2... A lovely thing, but - I don't think it's for me. The Spectralis is too 'home' for me.

Retromulator 1.4 Commodore 64 reSID Core Demo

video upload by discoDSP

https://www.discodsp.com/retromulator/

"New Commodore 64 SID 6581/8580 core — cycle-accurate emulation via reSID with 3-voice polyphony, oldest-voice stealing, high-quality resampling, and a full 50 Hz macro playback engine driving wavetable, pulsetable, filtertable and speedtable per voice and MIDI control of cutoff (CC 74), resonance (CC 71), pulse width (CC 75), vibrato (CC 1) and pitch bend.
Fixed DX7 master tuning offset — A4 now stays at 440 Hz on cleared battery RAM boot.
Fixed resampler stale rate on synth swap — switching to a synth with a different native rate.
Fixed OpenWurli tremolo depth/swing curve being non-monotonic at high settings.
Fixed OpenWurli noteOff not clamping to the valid MIDI range, which could leave out-of-range notes unreleasable."

Filter Anime by Max for Cats

video upload by max forcats

"Max for Cats crafts Software Instruments, Effects, MIDI devices, Sound Design and Samples for Ableton Live."

via max forcats

"An animated 8-band resonant filter bank inspired by the classic Moog MuRF, reimagined for Max for Live. Rhythmic pattern morphing, stereo motion, analog-style PWM sweep modulation, and dynamic envelope response transform any input into evolving spectral movement — from subtle animated filtering to deeply expressive rhythmic textures.

The device combines a playable pattern engine with touch-responsive filter animation, per-band drive, analog drift, and performance-oriented controls. Designed as both a creative sound shaper and a musical modulation instrument, it turns static audio into living motion with character, depth, and groove."

*NEW* Faderpunk — It Does MIDI Too!

video upload by Starsky Carr

"If you've been sleeping on the Faderpunk thinking it's just a fader bank, think again.

Most people see the Faderpunk from ATOV Projects and assume it's just another CV controller for Eurorack. It's not. This thing is a deep, flexible CV and MIDI controller — and after several months of hands-on use, I'm finally giving it a proper in-depth review.

In this video I dig into what makes the Faderpunk genuinely special: its app-based system. Rather than being locked into one function, you load different apps onto the hardware via an online configurator, effectively turning it into multiple different CV and MIDI modules in one compact unit.

I walk through a couple of the more complex apps: FP Grids (Mutable Instruments-style drum pattern generation), and the multi-channel sequencer.

You'll see it in action controlling the Roland CR-78 via MIDI CC (including live kick drum tuning for basslines), the Roland Galaxias for parameter and effects control, the Dreadbox Erebus via CV, the Dreadbox Nyx via MIDI, and the Vermoina DRM1 drum machine.

The sequencer alone — four independent tracks, each with variable step length, gate length, octave range, and rate — is something else. And with 16 save slots for recalling different setups, it's genuinely gig-ready."

Synapase Audio Dune 3 Atmospheric Motion Presets. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Drifted Elements is a bank of 50 atmospheric presets for Synapse Audio Dune 3, focused on abstract textures, evolving layers and spatial sound design. The bank is built around movement and depth, with sounds that slowly change over time.
🌊 The soundset includes: 12 Pads, 13 Strings, 13 Textures, and 12 Drones.

📦 The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/dune...
👤 The author of the soundset is Ilian.

🫧 The patches range from soft and airy tones to darker and more textured sounds. You’ll find drifting pads, distant strings, layered textures, and deep drones—all designed to add space, atmosphere, and subtle motion without taking over the track.

🎛 ModWheel controls brightness, opening the sound and adding harmonic content, while velocity (key pressure) affects volume, making the presets more expressive and responsive to playing.

💎 The soundset is suitable for ambient, cinematic, experimental electronic, IDM, as well as film, game, and visual sound design where atmosphere and space are important.

💡 Ensure that you are using the latest software version.
To add presets to the collection, open the plugin Browser, click Menu in the upper left corner, then select Import Folder, and specify the folder on your computer."
