ALM MUM M8 Now Available in VCV Rack

video upload by ALM TV

"The VCV MUM M8 brings our unique MUM M8 low pass filter into VCV. The MUM M8 is based on the 'switched capacitor' filter design used in the classic Akai S950 12 bit sampler with the addition of resonance, voltage control, clipped saturation and a dedicated VCA. Here we take a look at some patches showcasing the unique sound and features of the module.

The VCV version provides a realistic sounding emulation of the hardware module’s features with the addition of an optional clock noise setting producing increased bleed like a poorly calibrated hardware MUM M8.

The original motivation for the MUM M8 came from discussing filters in classic samplers with the artist Jack Adams – aka Mumdance. Jack suggested investigating the S950’s filter well known for its use in classic early jungle and hardcore. From that point onward Jack provided inspiration, help and feedback in the development of the filter. Big up Mumdance."

PlantsSystem-ShatterProof

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem presents ShatterProof, a meticulously crafted piece produced entirely using the tracker software Renoise. Built with an acute attention to structure and texture, the track subtly nods to YMO while reinterpreting that legacy through a distinctly contemporary lens.

From its quiet opening to an increasingly intricate development, the composition draws the listener inward, inviting close attention to the placement and movement of each sound. Beneath the precision of its programming lies a refined sense of aesthetic and tension—hallmarks of PlantsSystem’s quietly compelling sonic identity.

Introducing The Streetly Tapes - London for M-Tron Pro IV

video upload by GForce Software

"More info: https://www.gforcesoftware.com/produc...

Streetly Electronics and GForce Software are proud to present The Streetly Tapes – London, our final expansion pack for M-Tron Pro IV — a fitting conclusion to a collaboration that has celebrated the iconic sound of the Mellotron for over a decade.

Over the years, both ourselves and Streetly have been asked by original Tron owners why their tapes have a distinct, unmistakable character—one that doesn’t quite match the sound of the EMI tape-based Streetly recordings? They also point out that certain classic albums carry this same elusive tone.

The answer lies in a fascinating quirk of history.

Back in the early 1970s, when M400 production was in full swing at Streetly Electronics, the Mellotronics office in London decided to take matters into their own hands. Instead of sourcing tapes from Streetly, they opted to produce their own. But things didn’t go quite as planned…

This final Streetly Tapes volume brings you fifteen of the truly iconic Tron tape banks, each with that London Tape azimuth. What’s more, we’ve included 20 super rare tape banks from the last of the remaining Streetly Archives, to provide M-Tron Pro IV users with a total of 35 tape banks from the original and best Melly Library in existence."

Instruō - Sound Design with Seashell (with Jason H. J. Lim)

video upload by Instruō

"We launched the Instruō Seashell this year at Superbooth.

This video is a behind the scenes look at a sound design session during which I scored one of the pre-release teaser trailers.

The video footage was shot and edited by Mathew. I used the Seashell as the exclusive sound source and scored the trailer.

No post processing or effects were used other than compression/dynamics.

This was my first experience using the Seashell to this extent within a production context. I was effectively late stage beta testing a prerelease build of both the firmware and plugin. I couldn't be happier with the features the Seashell's integration allows. This is a workflow I've wanted for a long time with this level of flexibility. The portability and form factor we've also achieved with Seashell is something I'm incredibly proud of.

My co-developers at Instruō are a true powerhouse of creativity.
I hope you enjoy the Seashell as much as I have been :)
