Ableton Datashifter Max for Live Device


video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto



https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

"Most glitch processors treat rhythm as something to destroy. Datashifter takes a more controlled approach. It breaks the surface of percussion while preserving the force underneath.

Designed as an Ableton Max for Live device, Datashifter captures short fragments of incoming stereo audio into an internal memory system, then reads those fragments back through multiple voices. These voices can stutter, reverse, jump to earlier moments, or shift playback speed in octave based steps.

The result is not a simple repeat effect. It feels closer to a live editing system for drum time. The groove continues to move forward, while small pieces of its memory are rearranged, folded, interrupted, and returned to the beat.

A Beat Is Not Just a Grid

video upload by Haiko Senchan

"For this track, I ran the Sequential Fourm through the Fairfield Shallow Waters pedal and recorded a sounds, sounds, sounds. I added effects in Ableton, and slowly this soundscape emerged, feeling warm and dense yet somehow open. In the video, I played a key/lead sound live, and you can see and hear the result. I hope you like the track as much as I do.

Curves & Membranes - Software Bรฉzier Monosynth w. Orbital Modulators & Membrane Filter


video uploads by Unusable Engineering

Note this is the first post to feature Unusable Engineering. You'll find additional plugins by them below.

Playlist:

1. Curves & Membranes - Software Bรฉzier Monosynth w. Orbital Modulators & Membrane Filter - Walk Through
2. Curves & Membranes - Sound Demo and Patch Ideas - No Talking
3. Curves & Membranes | Synthesizer Patch Creation & Sound Design Walkthrough
4. Curves & Membranes v1.1.0 | New Features and Sound Examples
5. Curves & Membranes Filter Walkthrough | Understanding the Membranes
6. Unusable Engineering Jam | Curves & Membranes in a Different Context
7. Unusable Engineering Update | Curves & Membranes Features and Grain Discharge
8. Unusable Engineering Breakfast Jam | Curves & Membranes + Full Bundle



"Curves & Membranes is a focused mono synth built around a shapeable Bรฉzier oscillator, two visual modulation systems, and a membrane-based filter. In this full walkthrough I go through the core ideas behind the instrument, how the oscillator works, how the preset morphing and orbital modulators create movement, and how the membrane filter shapes the sound.

The goal with Curves & Membranes was not to make a do-everything synth, but to build something more specific: a synth where sound, shape, and motion are tightly connected, and where the structure stays easy to understand while still allowing a lot of character and timbral movement.

And a playlist of addtional plug-ins by Unusable Engineering:



Playlist:

1. Synaptic Resonance | Neural Vocoder Walkthrough


Synaptic Resonance is a neural vocoder-style effect where incoming audio, or an optional sidechain, excites a two-dimensional neural simulation. That simulation is then read back somewhere else and used to animate a bank of forty steep resonant band-pass filters.

In this walkthrough I go through the basic idea behind the plugin, show how the Stim Plane and Read Plane shape the behavior, and explain how the neural controls affect the way the model reacts, spreads, remembers, recovers, and settles.

The core idea is fairly simple: the input excites the model, and the output is affected by reading the model. That is what gives the plugin its character. It can behave like a vocoder, a resonant filter instrument, or something more unstable and alive depending on how it is set up.

Tone2 Releases Gladiator 4.2



"Tone2 Audio has updated their harmonic-content-morphing synthesizer Gladiator to version 4.2. The update free for anyone who bought Gladiator 4. Owners of Gladiator 1,2 or 3 can upgrade with a big discount.

What's new?

New additive synthesis modes for the 'UNISON MODE':

'Additive partials' stacks 4 disharmonic 'organ' oscillators. You can use the 'SPREAD' knob to change the ratio.

'Additive bell' stacks 4 disharmonic 'bell' oscillators. You can use the 'SPREAD' knob to change the ratio.

New additive synthesis modes for the 'PHASE MOD' spectrum:

'Tune partials +' detunes the higher partials of a spectrum without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.

'Tune partials -' detunes the partials in reverse direction. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.

'Splash tune' heavily detunes the partials without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.

'Fluppy tune' heavily detunes the partials without detuning the base harmonic. The amount of detuning depends from the morph 'SPEED'.

'Crackles' creates random phase garbage.

Enhanced sound:

The new quality mode 'ultra high-end' calculates oscillators with double precision and 4x oversampling.

The enhanced FFT precision results in more accurate resampling of waveforms.

Replaced 'Reverb Large' with a much better unit. It has a smoother rolloff and more detail.

Gradient Noise [stereo version]


video upload by John C.S. Keston

"On May 11, 2026 I premiered my piece Gradient Noise at the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) in Hamburg, Germany. The following video represents a stereo, studio recording of the performance. The performed piece was quadraphonic and contained one to four layers of instruments with independent, corresponding, video objects.

Since 2019 I have been composing animated graphic scores for ensembles and soloists. Examples include collaborative works like Parking Ramp Project or SYNTAX, solo pieces like Rhodonea. These generative works are projected for both the performers to read and audience to experience. I write the software that generates and animates geometric forms, and then establish rules on how the forms are read, whilst allowing improvisation and the emotional response of the performer to play an integral part in each piece.

Gradient Noise, written using the Processing.org language, translates values generated by the Perlin noise algorithm into independent layers of seamless loops repeating at variable intervals. These loops are visualized as geometric forms, abstract visualizations, and evolving structures. The data generated is aleatoric, but the values can be tuned to range between slowly moving gradients or rapid, angular forms. When the sound and visuals are synchronized I respond not only to the animation but also to the changes in the timbre of my instruments."

"The distortion to end all others

The final word in distortion has just been said. You may throw all your distortions in the TRASH, now. With a great help of Dr. Distorstein we created a weapon of mass distortion. We wrote the final chapter and made the distortionest distortion that crushes everything. The last distortion standing, the insane drive that will drive you insane, is called Cyberdrive."

video upload by embodme

ERAE Sound — A Taste of What's Inside | Preset Snippets

video upload by embodme

"Each sound you hear is a complete instrument: a preset and a surface layout designed together. Not a demo patch. Not a preset bank. A different way to play every time.

83 instruments total. This is a few of them."

Top video description & details:

"The first synthesizer designed for an expressive surface. Not adapted — built from scratch.

ERAE Sound pairs every sound with a dedicated surface layout. 83 complete instruments, each with its own voice, its own feel, its own way of being played. Slide, press, brush, damp — the sound follows your intention in real time.

No setup. No mapping. No friction. Just play.

Haiku Generative Music Album by Giorgio Sancristoforo for Mac OS Released



Giorgio Sancristoforo's Haiku Generative Music Album is now available for download. You might remember the demos from previous posts here.

It's a fascinating concept. According to Giorgio Sancristoforo:

"Haiku is not an instrument, it’s a music album in the form of software.

Haiku is a work of generative music that builds its own sound from nothing each time you open it, and never plays the same way twice — a record that exists only while it is playing."

Be sure tee the Giorgio Sancristoforo website for his additional creations including dedicated experimental software synthesizers. You can also find posts featuring them via his label below.
