Nexus - New Generative Sequencer for Norns // Nymphes // Oto Bim & Boum // Chase Bliss Onward

video upload by Lesjamusic

"Nexus is here. A generative chord-based sequencer for monome Norns that I've been teasing in recent videos.

In this demo, Nexus is driving a Dreadbox Nymphes via MIDI. The signal chain: Nymphes → Oto Bim → Oto Boum → Chase Bliss Onward → Chase Bliss CXM 1978.

Nexus lets you select from a 15-chord diatonic palette while a probabilistic engine triggers notes from within each chord. Two rows on the Grid let you play along in the current scale. There's also bass and sub-bass sequencers that fire root notes on chord changes.

The script outputs MIDI and Crow CV/Gate - so it'll work with pretty much any setup.

Waldorf M 1.11 Update Adds Varysaw VA Oscillator, CS80 Based Oscillator, Extensive FM & More

You can find the update here

Details form the release doc follows:

Disclaimer: This is an unofficial add-on to the M user manual, describing some of extra features added from firmware 1.05 up to firmware 1.11. This add-on also covers some complex aspects of the Multi Mode, which remains somewhat unusual.

Author: Vladi Salnikov aka VladiS.

Algorithms of FW version 1.11:

Varysaw: A VA oscillator ranging from SAW through PULSE to TRI.

Wave (red encoder): Mixes from 0 to 31 from SAW to PULSE; 32 is pure PULSE, and 33 to 63 mixesfrom PULSE to TRI.

Meta parameter: Pulse width for PULSE, adjustable from 5% to 95%.

CSAW: A famous Yamaha CS-80 saw oscillator with mutation towards a parabolic oscillator.

Wave : Controls the amplitude of the “step” component of the saw wave.

Meta parameter: Mixes between this saw wave and the parabolic saw wave.

Waveshpr: A SAW to TRI oscillator fed into a mild waveshaper.

Wave : 0 is pure SAW, 1-62 mixes between SAW and TRI, and 63 is pure TRI.

Meta parameter: Depth of the waveshaper.

TriplSaw: A stack of three SAW oscillators; two are detuned slightly higher and lower than the third.

Wave : Controls the amplitude of the “central” SAW oscillator relative to the two “side” SAWs.

Meta parameter: Detuning factor, from 0 to maximum detune.

S/T Fold: A SIN wave folding oscillator that folds the chosen crossmixed wave between SIN and TRI waves.

Wave : 0 is pure SIN, 1-62 mixes between SIN and TRI, and 63 is pure TRI.

Meta parameter: Folding depth.

FM 2 OP: Classic simple two-operator FM synthesis. OP1 (modulator) generates a sine wave that modulates the phase of OP2 (carrier). Both operators generate sinewaves; the algorithm's output is the carrier signal.

Wave: Maps values from 0 to 63 to harmonics ratios of 1 to 8 in stepped increments.

Meta parameter: Amount of phase modulation applied to the carrier.

Spectral Oscillators Toolkit Vol. 3 - Evolving Looping Oscillators for Cinematic Sound Design

"Available here now for €19.99 instead of €45 until January 20 2026: https://oceanswift.net/product/spectral-oscillators-toolkit-vol3/

Ocean Swift Synthesis has released Spectral Oscillators Toolkit Vol. 3, continuing its “loop-as-oscillator” approach with a newly curated batch of seamless, production-ready oscillator materials designed for modern sound design workflows. The collection includes sample oscillators, tuned tonal beds, drifting textures, and evolving drones intended to function as a playable synthesis foundation—reliable starting points that invite modulation, layering, and deep processing.

Like the previous volumes, every file is built to drop directly into samplers, sample-based synth engines, granular tools, and modular systems, making the toolkit a practical source of dependable oscillator material for both experimental and production contexts.

What’s New in Vol. 3
Vol. 3 distinguishes itself through both its source material and its sense of motion. The pack was assembled from a broad range of new recordings and sampling sessions drawn from Ocean Swift’s synth preset development, hardware sessions, and sound design workflows. These sources were then refined using updated looping, curation, and motion-focused techniques- aimed at delivering more micro-events, subtle tonal details, and evolving character, while staying clean and controlled.

Skull & Circuits METAL-O-TRON II / extensive playthrough / metallic percussion and beyond

video upload by BRiES

"METAL-O-TRON 2 by ‪@skullandcircuits‬ is a 16HP module built for creating stereotypical XOR logic (ringmod) metallic and noisy percussion (think 808 hihats), but in this deep dive video I try to demonstrate that you can do much more with it. There's a general introduction, a deeper dive and a pretty long section with a few (in my opinion) cool patches explained in much detail."

Vintage ELKA OMB5 + Original Bag, RAM Card & Manual

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"A vintage Elka OMB 5, the programmable arranger / rhythm unit specifically designed for Italo Disco, in perfect working condition and in mint cosmetic shape. The deal includes its ultra-cool original bag, owner’s manual, and a Song RAM cartridge. UPS fast delivery and professional packing guaranteed.

Released in the mid-'80s by the Italian manufacturer Elka, the OMB-5 (One Man Band) is a powerful yet easy-to-program arranger featuring a rhythm unit, a bass channel, and two accompaniment tracks.

RHYTHM UNIT

The OMB-5 comes with 20 preset rhythms (Disco, Funk..), each with four variations, one of which is fully programmable by the user — for a total of 20 storable custom drum sequences. Each preset rhythm also includes two fill-ins, an intro/ending, and a dedicated break.

The 32 drum sounds are the same as those found in the iconic Elka Drumstar 80: a cool selection 8-bit PCM drum samples, a perfect mirror of that unmistakable '80s aesthetic. The rhythm section is extremely easy and intuitive to program, and the ability to edit individual drum sounds within a recorded sequence using a single 'cancel' button is simply brilliant. A true example of vintage Italian clever design.

SOUND SECTION

The Elka OMB-5 features a powerful and flexible sound section totally based on FM synthesis and divided into three blocks:

Bass (6 voices)
Presets 1 (12 voices, 5-note polyphony)
Presets 2 (12 voices, 5-note polyphony)
Each block supports 6 arrangements per preset rhythm, with Arrangement 6 fully programmable, allowing up to 20 custom sequences to be stored per block (Bass, Presets 1, Presets 2).

Bass sounds : STRING BASS, BASS FLUTE, BASS GUITAR, ELECTRIC BASS, FUNK BASS, TUBA

Presets 1 sounds : STRINGS, BRASS, ELECTRIC GUITAR, BANJO, JAZZ GUITAR, MARIMBA, VIBRAPHONE, CLAVINET, ORGAN 1, PIANO 1, SYNTH 1, SYNTH 2

Presets 1 sounds : STRINGS 2, STRINGS 3, BRASS 2, PIANO 2, HARPSICHORD, ELECTRIC PIANO, ORGAN 2, CLASSIC GUITAR, CELESTE, HARP, SYNTH 3, SYNTH 4

COMMON FEATURES (All Sections)

Volume and sustain length adjustable via dedicated sliders
Usable in manual play or as part of the automatic accompaniment
Custom sequences storable in Arrangement 6 for each preset rhythm"

"tc electronic 2290 p Delay with Synths - Twisted Electrons MEGAfm and TWISTfm

This video shows the TC Electronic 2290 P Dynamic Delay, a modern pedal interpretation of the classic 2290 rack unit (which I’ve never owned but always found interesting). Build quality is solid and confidence-inspiring, and feature-wise it’s a moderately flexible digital delay with filter, true stereo, delay subdivisions and multiple modulation sources that allow for controlled, musical movement."

12/28/25 ARP 1623 + ElectroComp EML 200 + Peavey DDL-3 + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"I think this is the first time I sequenced the EML 200 with the ARP 1623. The sequencer is 1 volt per octave and the synthesizer is 1.2 volts per octave, but it still works. Here the gate bus 1 on the ARP is triggering the envelope on the EML, which controls the VCA both VCOs are running through. That signal then runs through the EML spring reverb into the Peavey DDL-3 delay to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, where the dry is panned left and the wet is panned center. Both have stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978."
