FlatDSP Introduces RUNE for Ableton Live

video upload by Flat DSP

"Rune is a versatile synthesiser with an expressive interface, built for Ableton Live."

More Info: https://flatdsp.com/products/rune
Purchase: https://flatdsp.gumroad.com/l/rune

Additional details via the maker:

"I’m an electronic music producer and have been releasing music since 2006.

Making software instruments has long been a part of my practice, and now I am gearing up to release some of them.

I set up Flat DSP to give them a home, and the first one out the door is Rune: a Max for Live synth I’ve been working on for the last 18 months.

It's a characterful subtractive synth with a responsive, playful UI that encourages you to develop and explore sounds.

The synth engine is based on wavetables I sampled from hardware gear in my studio. It has a multi-mode filter, loopable envelopes, parameter instability control, an envelope range control and has a built-in reverb effect that can be fed from the filter or the filter delta output.

The gain structure is carefully designed to add character. It has a LoFi mode that introduces digital artefacts and a controllable amount of instability threaded throughout the architecture that introduces variation. It also works with Live’s tuning systems.

All of this is controllable in the UI. Each component is fully interactive and visually conveys what it is doing. It’s designed to be fun and quick to use without having to learn it inside-out, while still offering a deep level control of the synth engine.

Many of the UI objects have a second layer of parameters, and the UI flips to expose direct MIDI mapping within Live.

It is available now, priced at $35 which I hope is accessible enough to a lot of people. I’ve enabled regional purchasing-power pricing as well for places where it is not."

Ring Modulation Sound Examples | Quadrant Modulator on a Smooth Synth Pad

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"Almost 20 minutes of Quadrant Modulator sound examples using the same smooth additive synth pad throughout, going through all the factory presets and a selection of my own patches.

There is no talking or explanation in this one. The purpose is simply to hear how wide the range of the plugin can be on one familiar source, from fairly subtle amplitude and tonal movement to obvious ring modulation, rhythmic processing, pitch-following effects, sequenced modulation and much more aggressive transformations.

The source is Partials & Discrepancies (the unusable engineering additive synth) using the preset APD-Wavelength Luminous from the free All Partially Dirty patch bank available on the Partials & Discrepancies product page.

The processing chain is the same throughout:
Partials & Discrepancies
→ Quadrant Modulator
→ Geometry Delay

MOdARK by Cristián Vogel

via NeverEngineLabs where you'll find samples under the EXTRAS section. Be sure to see the graphic novel as well.

MOdARK

Software instrument for Mac and Windows

Prize winning composer Cristián Vogel's latest digital creation is not your conventional software instrument. It is an extraordinary and unique approach to instrument-as-world-building. Built around a stunning 3D performance interface and an equally compelling physical modelling sound core.

MODARK is a new kind of digital instrument for composers, sound designers and sonic explorers. It invites you to enter a resonant 3D world where sound is not only triggered or edited, but inhabited, shaped and performed.

At its centre is a modal physical-modelling engine: a living body of frequencies, decays, resonances and gestures. You can import or analyse source material, build impossible instruments from spectral fingerprints, excite them with strikes, bows and samples, and explore the results through a visual interface that feels closer to navigating a sonic sculpture than operating a conventional soft synth.

Phaseburn One sound demo: everything you hear is one synth [Open Beta]

video upload by Phaseburn Music

"Phaseburn One is a synthesizer built around a phase-locked loop: the main oscillator tracks a reference signal, and whatever you patch into that reference becomes part of the sound. Everything you hear is the plugin on its own, nothing else added.

In the video: the PLL lab, the morphing oscillator and its fold, four step sequencers and four LFOs, the probability sequencer, the mixer and patchbay.

VST3, CLAP, AU and standalone, macOS and Windows, instrument or effect. Free open beta until 15 October 2026.

https://phaseburn.music"

The following is some additional info directly in via Phaseburn Music:

"I want to introduce Phaseburn One, a synthesizer we have been working on for several years, which is now in open beta and free for everyone until 15 October.

The sound is built on a phase-locked loop. One oscillator listens to another and keeps trying to match it, and the interesting part starts where it fails. When it tracks accurately the tone comes out clear and strangely alive, and when the loop is loosened you hear the chase itself: the oscillator catches up with the target, overshoots, breaks off, finds the frequency again, sometimes clinging to a harmonic instead of the note you played. PLLs are not new, they have appeared before as modules and effects, but as far as we can tell nobody has built a whole instrument around one. Four macro dials open the loop by ear, so none of the theory is needed to land somewhere usable.

Three more oscillators sit beside it: Morph, which sweeps between waveform families, a Vector shaping oscillator and a Sub. A transient module can add a click, noise or a metallic edge, or build a kick out of a sine. Around the loop there is a modular patchbay where you draw the cables yourself, a rack of seven effects and a mixer, and almost everything can be modulated from a dedicated section of LFOs and modulation sequencers.

MemoryTone by XILS-Lab

video upload by xilslab

"MemoryTone by XILS-lab unleashes a colossal three-oscillator-per-voice analog architecture—with 16-voice polyphony and up to 18 oscillators in unison—then propels it beyond its 1982 inspiration with expanded modulation, MPE, advanced arpeggiation, integrated effects, and modern sound-design capabilities."

via XILS-Lab

MEMORYTONE: THEY CALLED IT MAGIC.

MemoryTone is XILS-lab’s exploration of one of analogue synthesis’s most ambitious instruments — a sixteen-voice polyphonic architecture built around three oscillators per voice and a 24 dB/octave self-oscillating ladder filter.

With eighteen oscillators across sixteen voices, combinable waveforms, oscillator sync, pulse-width control and a deeply interactive signal path, its character begins long before effects enter the picture. Oscillators interact. Levels influence behaviour. Voices move. The filter responds to everything that came before it.

MAME Synths as Plugins?! Vintage Emulator Studio is Here

video upload by Autodafe

"Vintage Emulator Studio (VES) is finally here!

Download VES here:
https://www.autodafe.net/vintage-emul...

VES started from my experiments with the synthesizers, sound modules, samplers and drum machines emulated by MAME. Over time, after several videos, tests and even A/B comparisons with original hardware, I started wondering: what if these machines could be used in a more musician-friendly environment — and even loaded directly inside a DAW?

That idea eventually became Vintage Emulator Studio.

VES brings together a curated selection of MAME-emulated musical instruments in a single application, available as Standalone, AU and VST3 for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux.

You can download VES for free from my website. As with all my free plugins and sample libraries, there is also an optional €5 Supporter version if you'd like to support my work and future development.

VES is also open source, and the GitHub source code is linked from the product page.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: ROMs are required and are NOT included with VES.
I do not distribute MAME ROMs, so please don't ask me to send them. You will need to provide your own ROM sets. The good news is that MAME ROMs are generally not particularly difficult to find compared with those for some other emulation platforms.

Also keep in mind that VES relies on MAME emulation. Not every supported machine is emulated to exactly the same level of completeness, so some quirks or limitations may come from the current state of MAME itself.

P.S. You may occasionally hear a few small audio drops during this video. My computer wasn't always particularly happy about running multiple emulated machines while recording the screen and audio at the same time — so those glitches are mostly from the recording setup rather than VES itself. 🙂"

SynBe - Inspired by 1975 Japanese Synth Bass (demo)

video upload by Hügelton Instruments

"This series' first synthesizer simulation is of a rare Japanese-made bass synthesizer.
This synthesizer possesses features rarely seen in modern synthesizers, such as a unique traveler and simplified oscillator sources.
We has poured its passion for this hard-to-find synthesizer into this simulation software.

Features
・Monophonic synthesizer architecture
・Triangle, Square, Saw, Pulse and Phaser modes
・4’, 8’ and 16’ octave ranges
・Classic Traveler filter
・Twelve factory presets
・Full MIDI CC control
・Separate modern modification section

Available for macOS (AUv2 / VST3) and Windows (VST3).
https://hugelton.itch.io/synbe"



SynBe is a monophonic bass synthesizer inspired by a 1975 Japanese Synth Bass.

I had wanted one for a long time, but finding one is difficult. Rather than wait for the right unit to appear, I started with what was still available: surviving technical documentation, published circuit information, material from related instruments, and other technical references.

Some sections are well documented. Others are incomplete. Where the original circuit cannot be fully determined, SynBe uses the available evidence, related designs, conventional modelling techniques, and listening tests.

Features

Monophonic synthesizer architecture
Triangle, Square, Saw, Pulse and Phaser modes
4’, 8’ and 16’ octave ranges
Classic Traveler filter
Twelve factory presets
Full MIDI CC control
Separate modern modification section
2x internal oversampling
Versioned DSP kernel
Special nice & great graphics by ME!
Archaeology

Most of my previous reconstruction projects started with an instrument sitting in front of me.

SynBe did not.

The reconstruction began with surviving technical documentation and circuit information. I also studied material from contemporary and related instruments where the available information was incomplete.

The signal path was reconstructed section by section, from the oscillator and waveform circuitry through the Traveler filter and VCA.
