LoFi Future - Fragmenter HDMI glitch FX processor

video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://www.lofifuture.shop/product/f...

Song: LoFi Future - Hydrazine https://lofifuture.bandcamp.com/album...

The Fragmenter is a HDMI based circuit bent video FX processor / glitch colorizer.

The unit features 40 circuit bends on 16 potentiometers and 4 arcade buttons. The 4 arcade buttons each have a corresponding latching toggle switch and a knob to fade between two different circuit bents per button. The 16 potentiometers all fade between two FX and are off in the 12 o'clock position.

This thing is great at adding gritty digital texture to video. Feed it low resolution video sources and it goes wild picking up mpeg artefacts and making them stand out.

The setup for this unit is incredibly simple with a HDMI input and output it is fit for todays world of live and studio video without the need for any finicky adapters. There is also a VGA input that is great for connecting directly to one of my analog VGA glitch processors.

The unit is setup to output a 60fps 1080p signal and will take in virtually any resolution input signal and scale it up to 1080p.

When all FX are set to off it passes a completely unaffected, pixel perfect image."

Bloop Groop Weekender Set for Sunday, Mar 22

You can find full details on the upcoming event this weekend at https://www.bloopgroop.com/...

"Bloop Groop, Dublin's hardware-synth hub famous for its low-pressure “Hang, Jam, Play” sessions, announces its debut 3-day Weekender from Friday 20 to Monday 23 March 2026, with live electronic shows, low-stakes sets, maker demos, talks and hands-on DIY.

Since late 2024, Bloop Groop - founded by Caroline Swords and Gary Byrne - has quietly grown into a regular fixture of Dublin’s electronic music calendar, hosting informal meets where newcomers and old pros share short, loud hardware sets to a friendly crowd. The project now counts a core membership (and surprisingly civilized WhatsApp community) in the hundreds, with over 150 live performances hosted across jams, meets and gigs in Dublin City spaces like The Digital Hub and Trinity College Dublin. The gang shares knowledge, support, and collaborates on music. And, of course, buys and sells each other gear!"

video upload by SchneidersLaden

"In this workshop at SchneidersLaden, the team from Reliq Instruments presents Reliq, an open hub for audio, CV, MIDI, and DAW integration. Sequencing, mixing, modulation, and routing merge into a performative workflow where signal flow itself becomes a creative element. The session explores the philosophy behind the instrument and demonstrates how it can serve as the centerpiece of complex studio and live setups."

Alien 303 V2 (MONO) vs. Alien 4DX (Binaural space 3D Sound) | Acid Evolution Comparison

video upload by G-Sonique

"Alien 303 V2 (MONO) vs. Alien 4DX (Binaural space 3D Sound) comparison

Is Mono Acid dead? 🛸 In this video, we compare the legendary Alien 303 V2 with the groundbreaking Alien 4DX Binaural Topology synthesizer.

While traditional acid synths are usually mono and "flat," the new Alien 4DX uses a special 3D binaural topology that emulates analog circuits and DSP chips to place the sound directly in a 3D/4D space around your head. No quadraphonic setup needed – just your headphones or 2 speakers.

What’s the difference?

Alien 303 V2: The classic, punchy, '2D' mono acid lead that defined a generation.

Alien 4DX: A massive, organic, and harmonically rich sound that fills the entire stereo field using psychoacoustic principles (time shifts, phase distortion, and frequency modulation).

"Korg PS3100 (s/n 805220) This rare and highly desirable vintage polysynth is in reasonable condition, but not fully functional. Powers up and does play to a degree, but there is a multiple oscillator sound that sounds all the time. Keyboard plays most notes, but some notes do not play. 240v version.

"I bought this at VEMIA last year because it was at a fantastic price and thought I'd risk having to do a bit of work on it at that price. In fact it was far better than I expected, perfect working order inc the aftertouch which is often not good, new OLED display, I think originally imported from Wine Country (always a good sign, never seen a bad synth from them), sounds great, looks ace, much nicer to use than the rack, plus the original manual. But I've got to be sensible. As someone else once said, too many synths. Start price is what I paid.
Back at VEMIA for photos and packing. 18GBP."

From Precision to Character: 9 Ways to Warm Up Magnolia

video upload by Frap Tools

"Analog doesn’t automatically mean “warm” or “imperfect”.

Magnolia is an extremely precise analog synthesizer, designed to handle complex FM interactions. That same precision, however, can make it sound “cold” or even “digital” when used in more traditional subtractive patches.

In this video, we explore why that happens — and more importantly, how to introduce controlled imprecision to bring back movement, warmth and character.

The key idea: it’s much easier to make a precise instrument sound imperfect than the other way around.

We’ll look at several control points inside Magnolia that allow you to shape instability, drift and tonal density, turning precision into an expressive tool rather than a limitation.

MAGNOLIA: https://frap.tools/magnolia/

00:00 Introduction: why do some sounds feel warm and other cold?
03:00 The test patch
03:38 1) Detuning oscillator 2
04:19 2) Detuning the whole synthesizer
05:30 Detune and glide
06:26 3) Using a fluctuating random LFO to make the oscillators wiggle
07:24 4) Using the Polymove to randomize certain parameters
07:56 5) Using the keyboard tracking over the low-pass filter to dampen the sound
08:19 6) Playing with the gain staging to beef up the sound
09:19 7) Using a resonant high-pass filter to boost the low end
10:00 8) Adding a pinch of overdrive
10:23 9) Glueing everything with some chorus
11:07 Final remarks"

Korg DW-8000 | 3 brand new patch banks for the price of 1

video upload by Espen Kraft

"3 brand new patch banks for the Korg DW-8000/EX-8000 and FB-7999 plugin.
Contact me on email and I'll even give you a little discount if you buy directly from me.
Or get them here: https://thepatchbay.io/product/korg-d...

Price is $15USD for all three banks which is a pretty sweet deal.

3 full banks of 64 patches each are included in the download. P11-88
Bank 1 Luxury Vanilla Bank - 64 different pads, strings, bells and other glossy and slick sounds
Bank 2 Bass Bang Bank - 64 different bass patches, many of them really cuts through a track
Bank 3 Adventurous Bank - 64 different many patches suited for more experimental electronica

The download comes with 3 sysex banks you can import straight into your DW-8000/EX-8000 and also the Full Bucket FB-7999 free plugin emulation of the DW-8000.
If you're using the FB-7999 exclusively I've also included the banks as *.FXB so you can have the benefit of the STEREO tweak parameter not present in the hardware. I have adjusted many of the patches for the FB-7999 to take advantage of just that. In the demo you hear only the patches coming out of the FB-7999 plugin, played from the DSS-1. All banks have been tested and verified on the hardware.
In the demo I also use some external effects, mostly so in the demo song in the beginning.
The drums (and NASA talking) in the demo song are of course not part of the download. All other patches/sounds are.
I have a video on my channel about how to get your sysex banks into a hardware DW-8000 and EX-8000.

Finally, as an arranger and producer, I make patches that are mostly meant to be used together with other sounds. How a sound or patch sound in isolation is rarely relevant. It's how they build up texture when combined with other sounds that is important to me.
Like in the Bass bank, many of the bass patches are meant to be part of the low end, together with a kick. That's why many of them might seem bland or plain in isolation, but put them into a production and layer them correctly and they'll give you a solid low end with definition, like the demo track. I use 3 different bass patches from this download to have that solid, slick yet defined bottom end."
