Sequential Prophet 5 by GForce Software - This One Changed Everything!

video upload by The Sampleist

"GForce Software is back with the first official Sequential Prophet 5 plugin created in partnership with Sequential. The history of modern rock and pop music is literally flowing through the architecture of this synthesizer used by all of the greats. Every feature of the the original has been included as well as a number of new enhancements of which one of the most notable is the fact that in addition to the 38 original patches, the total of patches in this version now is a whopping 460. They have also made the synthesizer MPE compatible and a complete set of onboard effects is included.

Join Peter Gagliardi as he guides us through Prophet 5.

Our special thanks to GForce Software for sending over a review copy of the library.

GForce Prophet-5 - Bi-Timbral Sound Bank

video upload by Polydata

"Diving deeper into the sonic possibilities of the GForce / Sequential Prophet-5, the Bi-Timbral Sound Bank features sounds that all utilize the patch stacking ability of this plug-in. First seen in the early 80's on the original Sequential Circuits Prophet-10, the ability to stack two patches together opens up a vast world of tones and textures which were previously not possible.

A bank comprising 30 patches, all of which are "stacked", consisting of two separate sounds.

Unusable Engineering Experiments | New Synth Modes + 2 Unreleased FX

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A little preview of some things I am currently working on. Everything here is still experimental, so controls, behavior and probably a few ideas may change before release.

The bass drone chord comes from Partials & Discrepancies using an upcoming cross-voice FM mode, where the output of each voice FM-modulates the oscillator of the next voice.

It is also using a new Live View mode that shows the actual partial settings of one active voice as it moves through the slots. When that voice fades out, the display moves on to another active voice.

The live played part is Curves & Membranes played from a ROLI Seaboard Rise 2, using an experimental MPE Expression Mode together with a coming 4-voice paraphonic mode.

The rhythmic melody comes from two unreleased effects:

Residual Breakdown is a transistor fuzz emulation that can move into self-oscillation as the input disappears. The oscillation can be quantized and via the controls, slot-sequenced, which is generating the basic melody here.

Quadrant Modulator is a ring modulator using the Curves & Membranes oscillator design. One instance is using quantized, slot-sequenced ring modulation to keep the result around the key of the track. Another is running host-synced with its slot sequencer clocked to the DAW, creating the changing rhythmic level-cutting effect.

There are no release dates yet, but the current plan is to get these updates and new plugins out sometime in September 2026.

I was actually supposed to spend this time preparing my VAT filings. Procrastinating that has, unfortunately for the tax authorities, been very productive for the plugins.

Tracker TRX-12: Thirteen Minutes of Auto-Remixing Dub Techno!

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"TRACKER TRX-12: https://www.electronisounds.com/trx-1...
'Dub Continuum' Sound Bank for TRACKER TRX-12: https://www.electronisounds.com/track...

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH DUB CONTINUUM?
1. Render your own 'Inspiration Starter Kits.' Every time you render a pattern, you get a brand new, RANDOM set of full stems — from scratch. Render a pattern several times, LISTEN to the exported results, and pick your favorite groove. Then start a fresh TRX-12 session and use those stems to build a chilled, dubby techno track that's all your own. Layer in more loops from the Dub Continuum pack, the TRX-12 sequence presets, or your own sample arsenal to flesh out your track.

2. Use the loops on their own. Skip the project entirely and use the loop content just like you'd use ANY loops to write your own tracks.

3. Feed it YOUR sounds. Add your own 8-bar loops (110 BPM, key of F minor) into the Dub Continuum folders — and hear your own content get randomly remixed into the session!

4. Chill out and just listen. Sit back and enjoy self-generating, endlessly evolving, chilled dubby techno. Fair warning: you're likely to get inspired and want to start working with these deliciously chilled samples yourself.

5. Learn the Grid. Use the project as one huge tutorial and learning session — and see firsthand how many different Step FX commands are used in a real-world TRX-12 project.

SuperStarSaw: Far beyond conventional supersaws!

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We present SuperStarSaws, a new instrument from Native Instruments and A. G. Cook that expands on the concept of supersaws. It has two supersaw oscillators, or swarms, where the individual sawtooth partials can be spread both in frequency and space beyond the traditional detuning associated with supersaws to create dynamic swarms of sound, strange arpeggios, and more. The graphic morpher in the center allows one to quickly and smoothly change parameters between saved settings.

The Tone Garden - free generative browser based synth by Mycelium Sky

via Mycelium Sky

"The Tone Garden is a free generative synth in the browser. Fifteen voices, each hand-written in Web Audio, over a weather-driven ambient ground. Nothing to install, no signup, zero third-party requests — and the whole patch lives in the share URL, so a sound is a link you can pass around.

The licence on the page: anything rendered is free for anybody to use, monetized or not, no credit required — and it's forward-only, so if the terms ever change, whatever's already been made stays free permanently.

Plain fact, since your readers care about this one: the record behind the project was made with generative AI; the instrument has not one AI-generated byte in it. Both stated on the site."

Curves & Membranes 1.3.5 | Node Morphing, Expanded Oscillator Presets & Detune

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A walkthrough of the new features in Curves & Membranes 1.3.5.

The old Wave Bézier Presets have been expanded and renamed Oscillator Presets. The eight slots now store considerably more of the oscillator state, which makes the sequencer capable of much deeper changes and morphing.

The main additions are:
Bézier to Node morphing stored independently in every slot
None, Clip and Fold modes stored per slot and affected by Preset Slew
a new detuned auxiliary oscillator, with Detune stored per slot
LFO and noise modulation settings stored in the oscillator slots
interpolation of all of these settings through Preset Slew
Copy and Paste for oscillator slots
double-clicking nodes or handles to return them to the vertical center
improved CC4 / foot-controller handling

This means a single sequence can now move between Bézier and Node geometry, introduce or remove folding, change detune, and alter LFO modulation while the waveform itself is also changing.

There are some sound examples through-out the video, and some more focussed ones in the middle of the video, followed by the new workflow features and the updated CC4 / foot-control behavior.

A fair amount of oscillator-core optimization also went into making the additional processing possible while keeping CPU use under control.

Roland MC-202 in a Plugin? | Audio Damage AD-202 Demo

video upload by Autodafe

"The Audio Damage AD-202 is a modern software take on the classic Roland MC-202 MicroComposer, the compact analog monosynth and sequencer released by Roland in 1983. With its single VCO, sub oscillator, resonant 24 dB low-pass filter and simple modulation architecture, the original MC-202 shared much of its sonic DNA with instruments like the SH-101 and TB-303.

I actually owned an original Roland MC-202 many years ago — and, like quite a few pieces of vintage gear I used to have, I eventually sold it. So I was particularly curious to hear Audio Damage's take on it.

AD-202 keeps the straightforward single-oscillator architecture and vintage workflow, while expanding it with modern features including 8-voice polyphony, analog-style drift, MPE, tempo-synced modulation, saturation, drive and distortion.

In this no-talking demo, I'll simply go through some sounds and presets so you can hear what AD-202 can do.

Audio Damage Introduces AD-202 Synthesizer Inspired by the Roland MC-202

via Audio Damage

"AD-202 is a single-oscillator monosynth in the small-silver-box tradition of the early 1980s. One VCO with saw, pulse, sub, and noise running into a 24 dB ladder filter, one envelope, one LFO, and very little else. Every control is on the front panel, there are no hidden pages of options, and there is exactly one path from a knob to a sound.

Under the vintage panel it is a thoroughly modern instrument. Mono or eight-voice poly, per-voice analog drift, a tempo-syncable LFO with a delayed onset, MPE, MTS-ESP microtuning, and a post-VCA colour section with pre-filter saturation, filter drive, distortion, and a tilt EQ. The vintage part is the ergonomics. The rest of it is not vintage at all.

Same as the rest of our catalog: Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS. No DRM, no subscriptions, no dongles, perpetual license.

The Crow Hill Company Introduces ARCANE STRINGS

video upload by CROW HILL

Press release follows:



EDINBURGH, UK: readily representing its first ‘big’ release in over a year (when the temporarily out-of-circulation GLASS STRINGS was effectively re-released with a totally redesigned GUI and added features as the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s workhorse string library for a new era in more human-sounding music and scores, coinciding with rebranding itself with an aesthetic that truly realised company co-founder and composer Christian Henson’s heartfelt dream of encouraging people to make music and help them on their journey, regardless of whatever point they were at and wherever their journey began), The Crow Hill Company is proud to announce availability of ARCANE STRINGS — taking the sampling rule book and ripping it up, ultimately resulting in a string library featuring amateur players in order to achieve an arcane, primitive, dislocated, microtonal, loose, and sometimes savage sound duly designed for media composers wanting to leave a truly characterful imprint on their next drama score, or, indeed, composers who want to gain extra devilish bite out of their existing string collections — as of August 14…

Minimal Audio Current 50 Atmospheric Arp Presets. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

✨ "Dreaming Motion" is a bank of 50 Arp Presets for Minimal Audio Current 2, combining warm analog-inspired sounds with soft and airy atmospheres.
The collection moves between retro synth character, subtle analog imperfections, dreamy textures, and spacious evolving arpeggios, giving the bank both nostalgic and modern sides.

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

🎛️ Each preset features 4 Macros for shaping the sound, while the Modwheel adds additional movement and expression.
The macros are a significant part of the soundset. They can change tone, stereo width, modulation depth and rate, noise level, distortion, detuning, space/echo/reverb, effects mix, envelope parameters, and others.
You may control them via MIDI controller, use them for automation, or map the macros to your DAW modulators like LFO, Shaper, and others.

📻 The patches are perfect for Electronica, Synthwave, Ambient, IDM, Downtempo, Melodic Techno, Chillout, and experimental electronic music.

🎹 All Arps are designed in either C Major or C Minor, following Current 2’s tonal Arp system. This makes the presets easy to use while keeping their harmonic character consistent. You can change the Scale in the lower right corner of the synthesizer to the one used in your track.
