The Crow Hill Company Introduces FOREST HARPS Incantatory Invention

video upload by CROW HILL

"In this video Christian walks us through his latest incatative invention made in collaboration with the entire Crow Hill team. Forest Harps is made up of a rare find coupled with medieval ingredients and his own very special and grotesque approach to sound design. If you're looking for a harp that isn't a harp, a classical guitar that isn't a classical guitar and some fully controllable shifts in darkness of tone for your next score, song or soundtrack it would be worth checking out"

Press release follows:

The Crow Hill Company continues investigating its Origins series of virtual instrument plug-in collectibles with FOREST HARPS incantatory invention

EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is delighted to continue investigating its Origins series of virtual instrument plug-in collectables with the release of its intriguing-sounding FOREST HARPS — being billed as an incantatory invention collectively crafted by the Edinburgh-based enterprise, effectively comprising a harp made from elk horn, conch shell, animal ribs, and fishing wire brought together with medieval psaltries fed through a slowly rotating Leslie cabinet to create a forest floor of plucks, textures, and atmospheres as a rare and grotesque approach to sound design — as of October 20…

PolyArp 1.4.0 + Moog Subsequent 37 | Standalone Tutorial

video upload by Iris Orbit

"Explore PolyArp 1.4.0:
https://irisorbit.io/polyarp/

Build a two-part MIDI pattern with PolyArp 1.4.0, then play it on a Moog Subsequent 37. Follow the English on-screen explanations from MIDI setup through Repeat Last, custom Draw rhythms and the final performance at 121 BPM.

Setup:
Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 → PolyArp 1.4.0 standalone → Moog Subsequent 37

The Moog is in Duo Mode for two-note paraphonic playing: two pitches share its filter. PolyArp generates MIDI; the Moog provides the sound.

The walkthrough covers Gate, octave range and shift, Direction, fixed velocities, and editing each hand's rhythm. Repeat Last with Count 2 plays the final note of the pattern twice in total. In Draw mode, notes are removed to create space in each part.

Chapters:
0:00 Performance preview and MIDI setup
0:20 Shape the rhythm and note range
0:42 Repeat Last and Count
1:14 Edit both rhythms in Draw
1:44 Live performance at 121 BPM"

Baikonur 4: a virtual instrument sampled from a SOMA Lyra-8

video upload by Fangtooth Instruments

"Baikonur 4 is a cinematic virtual instrument built from deep-sampled recordings of the Soma Lyra-8 — an analog synthesizer known for its unpredictable, organic character. Available now as VST3/AU.

🔗 Get it here: https://fangtoothinstruments.com

Baikonur 4 features multiple mic positions, a built-in arpeggiator, and a full effects chain — covering everything from dark atmospheric drones to percussive textures and alien tonalities. Designed for film, game, and horror scoring"

Baikonur 4 is a sample-based synthesizer built from the sound of the SOMA Lyra-8™, a celebrated analog drone instrument. Rather than model it, Baikonur 4 captures its character through multi-channel recording and lets you reshape it with modulation, filtering and effects.

What makes the instrument distinctive is how each sound was recorded: every source was captured through four separate “mic” channels, each with its own tone, which you blend to taste on the main page.

Main — The direct signal, run through analog EQ, analog saturation and transformers for weight and color.
Room — The signal sent through a Fender Princeton Reverb amplifier and then a Universal Audio OX amp top box with the “Room” control fully raised — the source of the channel’s name.
Cab L / Cab R — Two different speaker-cabinet impulse responses, each captured in a different room and without the amplifier used on the Room channel — adding width and a sense of space.

Korg MS2000R Lives Again! | All 10 Demo Songs (No Talking)

video upload by Autodafe

"The Korg MS2000 and MS2000R are classic virtual-analog synthesizers from the early 2000s, known for their distinctive digital character, hands-on controls, vocoder and motion sequencing. The MS2000R is the rack version of the keyboard model.

This open-source project emulates the original hardware at a low level, running the original H8S/2350 firmware and DSP56362 code rather than recreating the synth engine from scratch. It includes a standalone application with the full front panel, plus VST3 and Audio Unit plugin versions.

In this video I’m using the standalone version and playing all 10 factory demo songs in sequence.

No talking — just the demos.

WHats NExt?? / MIN-1 Ensemble / M-Vave FM-1

video upload by HanzVolt

"Why dont you have one?"

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

Update: via github

"MIN-1 turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a small minimalist ensemble, in the manner of the music of the 1960s to 80s that was made from very little: repeating figures, slow cycles of chords, processes you can hear. It plays itself from the moment it's switched on, so there is always something to start from; then you take over as much as you like: play your own chords (no theory needed: in EASY keys every key is a chord that fits), roll ideas and keep the ones you like, bring parts in and out by hand, put processes on the figures, and record it all as a song."

Try it in your browser (no FM-1 needed).

Modal COBALT8 VST? Someone Actually Emulated It

video upload by Autodafe

"Someone has recreated the Modal COBALT8 in software… and this thing is seriously promising.

This is an early look at a 1:1 software emulation of the original COBALT8, developed with the help of AI and vibe coding by someone on the web.

At the moment it’s still pretty heavy on the CPU, so there’s definitely room for optimization — but sound-wise? It already sounds very, very good.

In this quick NO TALKING video I’m just taking it for a spin and checking out a few sounds.

I can’t provide a direct download link publicly, but hey… if you’re curious, you might want to have a look around my website. There may be a bit more information there. 😉

As always: this is an unofficial project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Modal Electronics."

Retromulator 1.11 - CA-72 Moog Model D Core Demo

video upload by discoDSP

https://www.discodsp.com/retromulator/

"The Minimoog has the voice many of us first fell in love with: a fat bass that sits under everything, a lead that cuts through any mix, a filter you can play like a second instrument.

The CA-72 by Idle Foundry rebuilds a 1972 Model D from the inside. Every board was transcribed from the service documents into SPICE netlists, and the real-time model was derived from those simulations and calibrated against a real instrument, so the oscillators drift, the ladder filter sings and the mixer breaks up the way the original does.

Its front panel opens right below the Retromulator rack. LO, HI and ULTRA quality trade CPU for detail, and offline bounces always render with the 4x engine. DOUBLE, SPREAD and ENTROPY add a detuned twin, stereo width and the small differences between two real units. Presets are .fxp files in Factory and User banks with .fxb bank import and export, selected by MIDI Program Change, and every panel control answers a MIDI CC."
