A Nice Song for Summer
video upload by Hologram Electronics
"What can you create with just a monophonic synth, a guitar, and some Hologram effects pedals?
This track is an exploration of that question — a study in restraint, sound design, and the textures that emerge when you limit your tools and lean into the process. The core instruments here are the Moog Messenger, an electric guitar, and carefully chosen chains of effects.
Every element in this track — aside from the recorded acoustic drums in the first half of the medley — passed through Chroma Console, shaping and coloring the sound along the way, from subtle crunch and stereo widening to melting delays and cavernous reverb."

Thicken Kicks, Bass, and Synths with OCELOT Octaver
video upload by Fuse Audio Labs
Press release follows:
Fuse Audio Labs offers OCELOT Octaver as octave-down weight- and octave-up presence-delivering plugin with precision and ease
DUESSELDORF, GERMANY: truly analog-sounding plugins developer Fuse Audio Labs is proud to announce availability of OCELOT Octaver — offered up as an octave-down weight- and octave-up presence-delivering plugin with precision and ease, duly designed to add deep punch to kicks, extra growl to bass, or subtle enhancements to synth lines as a streamlined tool that reshapes source material in powerful, specific ways with zero latency and minimal CPU (Central Processing Unit) load — as of June 19…
OCELOT Octaver offers full control over the frequency focus of each octave via dedicated TUNE controls — unlike many traditional octave effects, enabling optimal low-end extension and top-end lift to be dialled in with precision as a result of this being so successfully implemented. Its Listen mode, meanwhile, aids in identifying the exact range being enhanced, enabling highly targeted and musical results.
Anchored around a state-of-the-art algorithm, OCELOT Octaver maintains signal integrity throughout. The plugin delivers consistent, phase-stable performances — even on fast transients or harmonically complex sources, contrasting wildly with the warbly, glitch-prone behaviour common to many octavers out there. The outcome is tight, clean octave content that blends naturally into the mix.
OCELOT Octaver’s detailed visual feedback supports confident decision-making at all times. There are separate level meters for each octave, the output signals providing clear level referencing, while the collapsable FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) view reveals the effect’s spectral footprint. Furthermore, octave solo options, smart key shortcuts, and global level control complete a workflow built for flexibility, precision, and speed.
“Octavers are often either too simplistic or too unpredictable to be truly useful in serious productions,” proffers Fuse Audio Labs CEO Reimund Dratwa. “We set out to change that, offering precision tuning, rock-solid tracking, and deep sound-shaping tools in a plugin that feels as creative as it is reliable,” he continues, concluding: “It’s all about inspiring results, without it getting in the way.”
OCELOT Octaver is available at a significantly discounted introductory promo price of only $29.00 USD until July 19, 2025 — rising thereafter to its regular price of $69.00 USD — directly from its dedicated webpage, which includes more in-depth information, here: https://fuseaudiolabs.com/ocelotoctaver_utmpr.html
14-day trial versions of all Fuse Audio Labs plugins without any limitations are available to download from here: https://fuseaudiolabs.com/plugins.html

Minimoog & Ableton SOLFA – A Generative MIDI Sequencer for Minimal and Experimental Music
video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto
"SOLFA – A Generative MIDI Sequencer for Minimal and Experimental Music
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
Inspired by Arvo Pärt, Designed for Creative Exploration
SOLFA is a generative MIDI sequencer for Ableton Max for Live, built for electronic music producers, experimental composers, ambient sound designers, and those interested in algorithmic composition. Inspired by the works of Arvo Pärt, this tool allows you to create evolving, hypnotic patterns that seamlessly blend tonal minimalism with rhythmic complexity.
Minimal Pitch, Infinite Possibilities
At the core of SOLFA is a simple seven-note sequence. These notes are randomized across octaves, generating organic melodic shifts. This structured yet fluid approach results in endlessly varying musical textures that maintain a coherent harmonic identity.
Independent Rhythmic Structures
SOLFA employs isorhythmic principles, where the pitch sequence operates independently from the rhythm pattern. This allows for intricate, evolving interactions between melody and rhythm, giving rise to unexpected yet deeply musical results.
Ideal for Generative and Experimental Music
Whether you're composing ambient soundscapes, intricate polyrhythmic pieces, or avant-garde electronic music, SOLFA provides a unique method for crafting evolving compositions with minimal input. By embracing randomness within defined constraints, it encourages exploration while maintaining musical cohesion.
Unlock New Creative Dimensions
Transform simple ideas into dynamic, evolving sequences with SOLFA. Experiment with chance, structure, and unpredictability to discover new musical possibilities. Now available for Max for Live."

Introducing Fauve - VST3/AU/AAX - flawed audio reconstructor by K-Devices
video upload by kdevices
Press release follows:



Arvieux, France - April 17 2025. K-Devices, developer of creative music tools, has released Fauve, a new audio effect, as VST3, AAX and Audio Unit plugin for MacOS and Windows.
Fauve is an audio processor that collects sonic fragments and replays them — not always faithfully. It forgets, distorts, and glitches into new meanings; like the hallucination of a broken machine.
By continuously recording incoming audio, Fauve analyzes and breaks sound into small units called “collections.” When playing them back, it sometimes fails, opening space for the user to edit and shape the material according to their own sonic vision.
Fauve can be a harsh distortion, a gentle shadow, a paroxysmal dance between reality and dream, and much more. It can slightly scramble your sound, completely strip it of its original meaning, or introduce subtle, almost imperceptible variations to make it richer, yet always organic.
Fauve disrupts, but never destroys.
Fauve is a totem/series plugin, and like all totems, it follows its own logic. Timing in Fauve doesn’t rely on beats or note values — it’s driven by the material itself. Every operation is triggered by zero crossings, making the outcome deeply dependent on the source. Same settings, radically different results.
== Totem/ Series ==
Fauve is part of the totem/ series by K-Devices: unconventional audio effects coming in a compact format, easy to use, at a lower, convenient price.
== Requirements ==
Available as VST3, AAX and Audio Unit plugin
any 64bits compatible DAW
MacOS and Windows
== Availability, price, and deals ==
launch price: 24 EUR (until May 18)
regular price: 49 EUR (after May 18)

What is This Madness - A Synth with No Envelopes? // Stylophone CPM DS-2
video upload by Starsky Carr
"What can you do with a synth that has no envelopes? It turns out to be very therapeutic. Stylophone's latest release is the CPM DS-2 (what happened to DS-1?) - it's a drone synth which can create all sorts of interesting, ambient, dramatic, demonic, lush, chilled textures and soundscapes.
The clever bit is having everything bouncing around to a single LFO with multiple waveforms, 2 outputs, different phases etc."
0:00 WTF is a drone synth?
3:12 Intro demo
4:48 What's in the box?
5:53 Oscillators 3340 VCOs
8:42 Filters 12dB LP HP 3320

19:08 Final Jam
22:01 Final Thoughts





"This cutting-edge filter unit combines the precision of a smooth analog recreation of the classic 2045 Lowpass filter with the bold, dynamic character of Stylophone’s proprietary GEN R-8 filter.
Sign up for the waiting list:
https://stylophone.com/stylophone-df-...
Come and see it at NAMM 2025
Dubbed 'Beauty and the Beast,' the DF-8 offers unparalleled flexibility. The 2045 filter delivers a silky 24 dB/octave Lowpass mode, while the GEN R-8 snarls and howls in all four modes—Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass and Notch. Together, these filters unlock three additional combination types: Bandpass+, Band Reject+, and a wide Notch+ mode, providing an expansive palette of unique filter sounds.
Both filter channels have all eight filter types and are controlled by two full ADSR envelopes with multiple trigger modes to cater for every need. They can be triggered by a gate signal, by an audio signal threshold, by a manual trigger button and they can even auto-repeat in a loop mode acting as LFOs.
The DF-8 is so much more than a dual filter box—it’s a complete sound design tool. Equipped with two white noise sources, a Sample & Hold modulation source with adjustable slew, and a crunchy PT2399 delay with modulation, it serves as a sound source capable of everything from subtle atmospheres to all out sonic chaos.
Like all CPM units, the DF-8 is designed for portability and flexibility. It features:
• Multiple power options, including AA batteries, external PSU, or Eurorack power bus
• A built-in 2W speaker for instant listening without amplification plus stereo outputs
• Stylophone’s unique enclosure design with side ribs allow multiple CPM units to be locked together, for stability like a large modular, and for easy system expansion
Pair the CPM DF-8 with the CPM DS-2 to create the ultimate compact portable analog modular system for studio or stage use.
Features list:
2 Analog multi-mode filter channels with high resonance self-oscillation
8 Filter types per channel:
4 types of GEN R-8 (12 dB/oct) filters with LP, BP, HP and NOTCH modes
1 type of 2045 (24 dB/oct) filter with LP mode
3 combination types (12/24 dB/oct) with BP+, BR+ and NOTCH+ modes
2 ADSR envelopes with linear and exponential response
4 Envelope trigger/gate modes:
Analog CV trigger/gate signal input
Audio signal input with adjustable trigger/gate threshold
Manual trigger/gate button
Auto-repeat AR envelope loop mode
2 VCAs with envelope inverters
2 White noise sources with volume controls
3 Envelope depth attenuverters
4 Bypass switches for filters and VCAs
1 Sample & Hold modulation source with sync input and adjustable slew
1 Vintage PT2399 tape-style delay with modulation
14 Modular patch points for audio, envelopes, filters, VCAs and S&H
3-Into-1 mixer with stereo or mono output
2 Stereo outputs (line level/phones) with seperate volume controls

Metasonix Penile Amputator vs. X0XB0X
video upload by fishjaco
"An 'uncut' 17 min take of messing around with the new Metasonix box for you to suffer through. Sorry not sorry. XOXO"
via Metasonix
"What is it? It’s a bad thing. Tube distortion pushed too damn far.
It’s the SMALLEST product we have ever made. Shirt pocket size. Inside is a preamp with feedback controls, using two 5702 subminiature pentodes.They are real Raytheon military surplus from the 1980s, not Soviet leftovers. The quality is aces.
ONE knob. The knob controls the feedback and gain. Fully CCW is off. Turn it up about 10% and you get increasingly LOUD signal, sliding into heavy tube distortion. Keep going up and it bursts into VERY LOUD oscillation. That’s the “feature”.
The switch is the other “feature”. It applies feedback to the suppressor grid of the second tube. What does that mean? We don’t know, we’ve never done this before and neither has anyone else. It is “unique” but you get to decide if it is useful or not.
There is a CV input on the front, it basically turns the Amputator into a really awful voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA). Ideally you shouod put at least 0-10 volts into this input. Can’t damage anything because it’s an all-tube circuit and there are no transistors or chips. The output is NOT able to drive “any load” so only feed it into a HIGH impedance unbalanced input.
It’s in a transparent polycarbonate enclosure because we STILL get stupid attacks from fools claiming that there are either no tubes in our products, or else the tubes do nothing and it’s all done with a “ten cent chip”. Fuck you, buttboys.
Here’s the damn photo. No, it does not have a 'bypass switch'. It’s on all the time because you deserve it.
Power required is 12 volts dc, 2.1mm barrel plug, center positive. 700 milliamps on startup and 250 milliamps in normal operation.
