Erae Sound Tutorial #1 — Getting Started

video upload by embodme

"Erae Sound is our MPE software synthesizer designed specifically for Erae 2. Each preset combines a sound and a dedicated layout, sent directly to your Erae and ready to play.

This first tutorial gives you a complete overview of the instrument and covers the essential concepts you need to start using Erae Sound: the two sound generators, oscillator and filter routing, the FX section, the modulation matrix, editing shortcuts, and the connection between instruments, layouts and projects in Erae Lab.

You’ll also learn how to assign gestures and modulation sources to parameters, cross-modulate envelopes and LFOs, import generators or FX from other presets, edit a layout and save it with an instrument, and use Sync to recall instruments directly from your Erae.

A practical starting point for Erae Sound owners who want to understand the workflow and begin creating their own playable instruments."

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.

Vekte Beta 1.2.1: Introducing ARP, Drumkit, and more modulations!

video upload by Våld Labs

"Every channel is now a SEQ, a KIT or an ARP, and slots can drive each other. 1.2.1 rewrites the ARP transport so a running clock tracks the host 1:1.

1.2.0
Slot modes: SEQ (generative sequencer), KIT (fixed 12-note kit map), ARP (input-driven, from external MIDI or another slot)
Slot bus: DEST routes one slot into another. A SEQ conducts an ARP, ARPs chain, no host MIDI routing
RTRG restarts the pattern on a press, LATCH keeps the playhead running silently on release
APPROACH and FILL: deterministic in-scale passing notes, drawn on the piano roll
Ratchet rate system, six interpolation laws

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。"

Googlish:

"@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.
