Bitweaver demo: fully analog per-bit modulation

video upload by Finegear

"Bitweaver is an 8-bit fully analog bit-crusher that sounds warm, squelchy, fuzzy, and rich. One reason is in the circuit: its ADC and DAC are built from discrete op-amps, transistors, resistors and capacitors, and the inherent imperfections of converting and reconstructing the audio signal add a squelchy character to the sound. Another source of this machine's distinctive sound texture is that Bitweaver computes bits continuously, with no sampling clock, flipping whenever the signal crosses a threshold.

Each of the 8 bits is then yours to play with, from the Most to the Least important: turn it on or off, invert it, replace it with a CV signal, or override it with the value of another bit. All bit manipulations stay harmonically related to the incoming signal, expressing the unit’s wave-shaping abilities.

From sub-audio tremolo to classic bit-crusher grit, three distinct sonic territories open up depending on where you place the sample-and-hold stage (an analog take on sample rate reduction): before the bit engine, after it, or bypassed entirely.

Bitweaver invites producers, performers, artists and musicians to a new kind of analog destruction: harmonically rich, voltage-controllable down to the single bit, and ready to meet you from the desktop or the eurorack.

For this first video-demo, we are showing Bitweaver in a playground of noisy beats. A drum-machine is sent to the Bitweaver, which comes to “crush” the mix into a warm sauce on one of the sends, sometimes joined by an extra fuzz pedal before it. (For those of you who heard it at Superbooth first, please enjoy the …clean sound!)"

Xaoc Devices Presents SKOPJE & BUDAPESZT at Superbooth 2026

video upload by Milk Audio Store

"Budapeszt is a stereo dual spectral processor built around the interference of resonant structures. At its core are two independently tunable comb-type filters with six distinct modes based on delay, phase, and filterbank approaches The Skopje instead it's a dual quantizer with two independent channels that are super flexible thanks to the built-in high-precision A/D and D/A converters.

Each channel can quantize its input to a different scale from a different bank (up to 100 banks, each containing up to 100 scales). They can be selected using an OLED display without menu diving."

XAOC Devices News 2026 & Unternehmensphilosophie

video upload by AMAZONA Music Mag

Interesting note on the pronunciation of XAOC at the very start. See if you had it right.

"Lukas von XAOC Devices spricht über die Philosophie des Unternehmens und stellt die neuen Module Skopje und Budapest für 2026 vor. Außerdem geht es um den Oradea-Resonator aus 2025.

Lukas from XAOC devices gives us little insights about XAOC’s philosophy.
He also explains the new modules Skopje (dual quantizer) and Budapest (stereo module with comb filters) from 2026 as well as the Oradea resonator from 2025.

Timestamps
00:00-03:50 Where does the naming come from?
03:50-11:54 New modules. Skopje dual quantizer - music without sequencer?
11:54-17:10 Budapest stereo module with comb filters
17:10-18:30 Analog vs. digital
18:30-20:04 Polish scene and Xaoc location
20:04-22:18 Oradea resonator"

Regaring the name, it means chaos, but is pronounced house.

Bionic Lester MK1.5 : the Black Patchings

video upload by Robotopsy Robotopsy

"Short Audio Demo of the Bionic Lester MK1.5

Slightly Inspired by the Black Paintings of GOYA (nothing to do with this level)

Except for the first patch that contains sounds of Kicks
made with the Slew section of the King Slender
Every sound and samples involve the Bionic Lester MK1.5
Samples are all from feedback sessions
the Bionic Lester MK1.5 is such a playground!!!
Hope this short audio demo will please you"

Side note: I beleive the first mention of the Bionic Lester 1.5 was back in November.

Some additional details:

"This module is a special rerelease of the 'Mark 1' Bionic Lester circuit with the unreleased 'Mark 2' control layout. The Bionic Lester Mark 1 was first released in 2012, and only had one production run. It uses a rare switched-capacitor filter IC with multiple outputs and four operating modes. The character of the overdrive changes with each mode selection and all are distinctive.

DIFFERENCES FROM THE ORIGINAL MODULE:

Reverse power protection
Metal shaft pots, long life
this time ALL of the knobs are MK2 style
Resistor network and opamp package substitutions for compact PCB layout and greater manufacturability
Output mixer and A/B crossfader. A feature from the planned but never designed “Aggro Eddie” expander. Enables more elaborate feedback and overdrive patches.
Features:

Dual 12dB multimode filter
Based around rare and vintage switched capacitor filter IC
Rerelease of Bionic Lester MK1 circuit with MK2 interface and integrated Aggro Eddie mixer expander
Dual CV inputs for filter cutoff of each filter
