Accessibility note: We have kept the accessibility perspective in mind while designing the UI, and aim to give Shortcircuit XT the same good screen reader support Surge XT has, but have not yet done that. This is one of the things we’ll improve on during the beta phase. Thanks for being patient with us.

Here’s a transcript of the text elements in the video:

Shortcircuit XT is a free sampler
plugin from the Surge Synth Team,
with a focus on creative sample manipulation
and some standard sampler features,

video upload by Elektronick Musick

"Musically assured destruction."

https://armoryplugins.gumroad.com/l/L...

"LaunchCodes is an all-in-one instrument built for creating explosive hits and basses. You'll be equipped with highly automatable wave and noise generators, a fully re-orderable and customizable effects rack, and two LFOs that can modulate nearly anything—all in the service of the most impactful music-making imaginable.

At your disposal:

Wave generator—with four basic wave types, push the oscillator to its limits with fully automatable amplitude & pitch envelopes and four pitch parameters. Craft punishing basses, psychedelic patterns, or whimsical keys quickly

Noise generator—low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass modes with adjustable Q and Coarse on the filter envelope give you a wide palette for expressive percussion hits, mysterious sweeps, and screaming noise

Re-orderable effects rack—a delay unit for creative feedback and foreboding echoes, a reverb unit for huge clouds of fallout, a filter unit for sculpted resonances and bass-boosting, and a fully-editable waveshaper function for your own personal brand of distortion

Double LFO unit—for maximum expression, modulate almost any parameter in LaunchCodes with the four basic waveforms, and control the modulation range and direction on each parameter individually

A big red button—a big red button

Built-in presets to get you going right away, and an easy way to save and browse your favorite patches"

I Let My Modular Synth Design Its Own Utopia

video upload by Polarity Music Only and Polarity Music

"I just built a cool drone in the Grid again, with a ton of pads and a lead sound that randomly plays every now and then. There are also some random FX sounds, plus a little wind and rain machine. I tweaked the resonance on the wind filter a bit too. It kind of sounds like that low hum you hear in Deckard's apartment in Blade Runner. I thought it was pretty nice to add that in. You can download the patch for free, as always, and it's made in Bitwig 6, so you'll need that to use it. Have fun, and don’t forget to give me a like!

Serum Uplifting Basslines (Official Serum 2 Revamp) by NatLife
NatLife originally created the Uplifting Basslines series as an essential toolkit for Trance producers. Now, this iconic collection returns with a total sonic overhaul specifically for Serum 2. Get the professional middle-end drive your tracks deserve

About this Revamp

Furthermore, this isn't just a simple port; instead, it is a complete re-edition. I have meticulously re-painted and modified every single patch to harness the advanced power of the new Serum engine. Consequently, you get sounds that hit harder, cleaner, and deeper than ever before.

In modern Trance production, the middle-end defines the energy of your track. For this reason, I have handled the heavy lifting for you. I fine-tuned every waveform for maximum stability and utilized updated filter algorithms. Therefore, these 64 patches sit perfectly in a 138-140 BPM mix with minimal external processing.

"Ricky Graham from Delta Sound Labs demonstrates XStream, an evolution of their granular effects plug-in Stream into an instrument capable of a variety of granular-synthesis possibilities. Single Mode lets you turn any sound into evolving pads, textures, and atmospheres. Time and pitch are handled independently, with detailed control over grain behavior and real-time sample scrubbing. Multi Mode makes your samples playable across the keyboard. With polyphonic grain engines, velocity sensitivity, and full MIDI tracking, you can build entirely new instruments from any audio source.

Baloran The 3FX

"Après avoir sculpté le son dans l’espace avec The 3B, The 3FX explore la création d’espaces sonores capables de transcender tous vos instruments.

After sculpting sound in space with The 3B, The 3FX explores the creation of sound spaces capable of transcending all your instruments."

Also see New VST3 Plugin - The 3FX by Baloran In the Works

via Baloran:

"The psychedelic The 3FX

After sculpting sound in space with The 3B, The 3FX explores the creation of sound spaces capable of transcending all your instruments.

ARCHITECTURE

The heart of The 3FX is built around three fully independent effect voices, each based on a coherent 8-module architecture:

Two delays per voice, usable in series or in parallel
An advanced, progressive feedback path up to controlled self-oscillation
An analog 12 dB/octave multimode VCF (BP, LP, HP) to optionally process the audio spectrum, both on the delay lines and on the dry signal
Independent levels for the dry signal and each delay line
A panorama control to position the voice within the stereo field.
The stereo input signal is distributed across the three voices: left / left + right / right. A mono signal is distributed across all three voices.
Each voice can be used alone, stacked or combined with the others to create textures impossible to achieve with a conventional delay.

video upload by Anton Anru

🌌 "Fractured Atmospheres" is a collection of 50 atmospheric and experimental presets for Xfer Serum 2, made for producers who want emotional, evolving, and dark sounds with character.
The soundset moves between soft and pleasant atmospheres and noisy, unstable, and abstract tones, making it suitable for both musical ideas and sound design.

💾 The bank of presets includes: 12 Pads, 12 Strings, 14 Textures, and 12 Drones.

📦 Get these presets: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/seru...
👤 The author of the soundset is Ilian.
❗️Compatible only with Serum 2. Not compatible with Serum 1.

💎 The soundset is built around contrast and imperfection, drawing inspiration from natural phenomena, mental states, and inner anomalies.
Pads and strings blend smooth, emotional, and airy tones with subtle noise, creating fragile, lo-fi, and cinematic atmospheres, while textures and drones move into darker, noisier, and more atonal territory.

Shaped by slow or fast, evolving modulation, the presets feel expressive and alive, working as musical layers, background ambiences, or standalone soundscapes.
