"A short demo of an upcoming filterbank for mac and pc (au and vst3). A simple patch from the prophet12 is being processed by the filterbank. Utilizing random, synced random, random slew, etc for creating movement of band levels as well as panning.
"The Tonverk isn't just a sampler or multi-sampler, it's a synthesizer that can play single cycle waveforms polyphonically. This coupled with wavefolding, distortion, rectification, and modulators.. you have a very powerful synthesizer. Let me explain.."
"Tubbutec Ju-66 upgrade is so much more than just MIDI. I’m doing a couple of thing in the video. For starters, internal sequencer (coming with the upgrade) plays a monophonic structure but since the notes have long release, final effect is polyphonic. Then I’m using the (available separately from Tubbutec) Juno-66 controller to introduce oscillator detune, additional filter LFO modulation and additional filter envelope. All of these features are available without the controller, of course.
With Tubbutec, any Juno 6 or 60 is such a beast now."
If only the Juno-66 label section was a lid that opened for two mini mini controllers like on the Yamaha CS80 & CS60. And if they had mini mini mini controller sections ad infinitum.
"We’re excited to unveil the latest generation of our most compact control surface, Launch Control 3 - available to order now. This video gives you an overview of everything our new Launch Control can do for you and your unique workflow.
Our new controller packs the most powerful features of Launch Control XL 3 into a smaller footprint and is perfect for adding an extra layer of tactile control to any studio or stage setup. Launch Control is a compact and highly portable MIDI control surface designed to integrate with all major DAWs, software synths, effects, and external hardware. Connect via USB or MIDI I/O and adjust parameters with 16 endless rotary encoders, eight assignable buttons, and a new OLED display.
Launch Control comes bundled with studio-grade software to get you started. Ableton Live Lite lets you record, launch and perform, while Cubase LE is ideal for songwriting and production projects. You also receive a selection of plugins from Klevgrand, Baby Audio and Output.

The Creative Control Surface
Get hands on with your DAW, plugins, and hardware from a portable-yet-powerful controller with 16 endless rotary encoders; eight assignable buttons; and a crisp OLED display for essential info. Mix and sculpt sounds right out the box, and create up to seven Custom Modes to fit your specific workflow in the studio or on stage.
16 endless encoders
Launch Control’s smooth-feeling endless rotary encoders each feature a dedicated RGB LED that indicates its relative value. Pan tracks, adjust sends, or do anything else you want via Custom Modes — all with adjustable response curves."
The new TEMPO firmware will change your CHOMPI into an entirely new instrument. It’s an alternate imagining of what CHOMPI would be like as a groovebox – a syncable pattern-maker that is hands-on and as intuitive as possible.
"The forthcoming Urano VCF53 analog filters will also be able to run in LD3.
At first I am just tweaking the filters, then I try to run various beats through them."

"Noise Engineering's Stephen McCaul goes ambient with this small case jam. Amrient is a combination of "ambient" and "mr" referring to the Multi Repetitor.
Modules in the case are the Multi Repetitor, Muta Jovis, Gamut Repetitor, Sono Abitus, four unreleased Legio modules, and an unreleased Versio module. Modules are housed in the Case of Steel, a 64 HP case from Noise Engineering.
"Gain is not just about volume — it directly affects tone, harmonics and filter behavior.
In this video, we explore Magnolia's gain staging architecture and analyze its four main gain points (plus a bonus one), showing how each stage shapes the sound.
From the mixer to the amplifier, drive and post-drive section, you'll hear how different gain levels impact filters, saturation and overall character.
If you want to unlock Magnolia's full sonic potential, understanding its internal gain structure is essential.
