entropy encoder - a low bitrate mp3 emulator - 1st Preview - Moog Muse - Clair de Lune


video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"Debussy’s Clair de Lune… played on a Moog Muse… then politely fed into Entropy Encoder (unusable.ai) until it started hallucinating.

This is a pre-release preview with automation-heavy settings and sequenced randomization firing at different musical divisions, so the “codec decay” breathes and glitches in time. Expect swish, birdies, smear, framey wobble, and the occasional moment where reality briefly loses its license.

🧪 FX: Entropy Encoder (pre-release preview)
🌀 Automation + synced random at multiple time divisions

Audio Damage Introduces Descent Granulator



via Audio Damage

"Descent is a granular delay and reverb effect that transforms your audio into evolving, otherworldly textures. At its core, Descent captures incoming audio and breaks it into tiny grains—anywhere from a handful to dozens at once—then scatters them across time and pitch to create everything from subtle thickening and rhythmic delays to vast, frozen soundscapes and shimmering pitch-shifted clouds. With independent control over grain count, duration, overlap, and direction (forward, reverse, or random), combined with extensive randomization for pitch, pan, position, amplitude, and timing, Descent turns any sound source into a living, breathing texture. Whether you're adding shimmer to guitars, creating infinite sustain on synth pads, or designing abstract sonic environments, Descent delivers studio-quality granular processing with an intuitive interface and real-time FFT visualization.

Features

Granular engine with adjustable grain count (1–50 simultaneous grains), duration, overlap, and envelope shape for precise texture control.
Pitch shifting from -24 to +24 semitones with pitch quantization—lock transpositions to specific intervals for harmonically-correct shimmer, fifths, octaves, or any chromatic combination.
Six-axis randomization: independently randomize pitch, pan, position, amplitude, duration, and grain count for everything from subtle movement to complete chaos.
Direction control plays grains forward, reverse, or randomly mixed—perfect for tape-style effects, reverse swells, and glitchy textures.
High-feedback mode with diffusion control transforms delays into lush, reverb-like washes that never get harsh or out of control.
Tempo-sync or free-running modes let you lock grain timing to your session or let textures evolve organically.
Real-time FFT visualization shows your granular cloud evolving, making sound design intuitive and immediate.
35 factory presets covering shimmers, delays, reverbs, pitch effects, and experimental sound design to get you started instantly.
Cross-platform preset manager with XML-based presets compatible across all plugin formats and operating systems.


Sound Design Ideas

Add subtle depth with a few long grains and minimal randomization. Create rhythmic delays with short, quantized grains at high feedback. Build infinite sustain pads by freezing audio with high grain count and overlap. Design glitchy textures with extreme randomization and reverse grains. Craft shimmer effects by quantizing pitch shifts to octaves and fifths. Transform vocals into ethereal textures with diffusion and wide panning."

Kilohearts Phase Plant: Dark Cinematic Ambient Atmospheres


video upload by Anton Anru

"🌌 'Dystopian Frames' is a collection of 50 atmospheric and dark cinematic presets for Kilohearts Phase Plant, created for producers who are drawn to mysterious space textures, drifting pads, expressive strings, and deep evolving drones.

The soundset moves between soft, distant atmospheres and darker, unstable tonal landscapes—making it suitable for both musical composition and sound design.

🧿 The bank of presets includes: 12 Pads, 11 Strings, 15 Textures, and 12 Drones.

📦 Get these sounds: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/phas...
👤 The author of the soundset is Ilian.

💎 The soundset is built around depth, space, and tension, with a subtle cosmic character running through the collection.

🎛 Each patch includes 8 Macros that give you direct control over tone, modulation depth and speed, noise level, distortion, detuning, space, and effects balance. They can be automated in your DAW or controlled via a MIDI controller for fast and intuitive sound shaping.

The ModWheel adds brightness and expression.

🌠 The sounds work especially well for ambient, dark ambient, cinematic, experimental, IDM, industrial, and atmospheric electronic music.

It is also suitable for films, games, trailers, and other projects where mood, scale, and tension matter.

RT MOK Miniraze 1.5.1 update presets


video upload by Ross Totino and Fans of Collision

"A collection of presets I created for the MOK Miniraze synthesizer update to version 1.5.1 serves as a starting point for exploring the capabilities of this instrument. Its new waveform technology offers significant variability, enabling transformations in timbre that are unmatched by other synthesizers. Additionally, with internal and external modulation control possibilities and DAW automation that allow for further manipulation of these timbral transformations. This demo was done without any further processing.

Tokyo Field Recording, Piano and Prophet-10 Ambient | Quiet Pond 2026-02-24 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"Ambient Engine (macOS)
https://store.atnr.net/downloads/ambi...

A piece created with field recordings from the streets of Tokyo, piano, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and Ambient Engine.

The piano is a YAMAHA CP-88 with its built in reverb set deep.

On the Prophet-10, a synth pad is performed while adding reverb with blueSky.

The field recordings were captured on an iPhone. The edited audio in the DAW is layered together with versions processed inside Ambient Engine.

In Ambient Engine, a single field recording sample is assigned random or specified playback ranges and triggered by seven sample players. Modulation is sent to the filter, Delay, and MicroLoop, and parameters are also adjusted in real time using the trackpad."

One-Bit Delay, a new plugin by Infinite Digits, inspired by the PT2399 delay chip


video upload by infinitedigits

https://onebitdelay.com

"Introducing the One-Bit Delay plugin - a VST/AU inspired by the one-bit sampling delay circuits from the 90's. it is my love letter to the classic delay chips like the PT2399 and M50195P.

this plugin uses a one-bit stream at its core. like the classic chips, this plugin uses delta-sigma modulation to manage noise above the audio band (though the plugin has a configurable sample rate to change the noise level!). also the One-Bit Delay plugin has demodulation filters tuned to the PT2399, and the harmonic distortion is modeled and closely follows the change in resistance applied to the internal oscillator (like the PT2399).

thank you all who continue to support me, I'm truly grateful - your support is allowing me to continue to crystalize musical artifacts."

TAL Sampler + Baby Audio Tekno Jam


video upload by Coastal Satellites

"TAL Sampler (using Loopop's Oberheim TEO 5 sample library) + Baby Audio Tekno.

Bass Station 2 as a MIDI controller and using its onboard arpeggiator, controlling TAL Sampler. I loaded a pluck patch, from Loopop's Oberheim TEO 5 synth sample library, running through an Akai S100 style DAC in TAL sampler, to give it an even more vintage/lo-fi feel.

Lastly added an analog style delay to the synth arp via Valhalla Delay. There's also a shaker loop on top of Tekno, also using Valhalla Delay (on the phaser setting). No external FX on Tekno."
