Tunary Instruments Releases Cinematic Soundscape Collection

via Tunary Instruments

THREE INSTRUMENTS FOR SCORING SPACE, TEXTURE & MOOD

Deep drones, sculpted grains and self-playing glacial beds. Three sound-design instruments made for film, games and ambient music — the sound under a scene, not the tune on top. Buy one, or take all three.

Additional details on each:

VRESK — Drone, Texture & SFX Engine

VRESK holds one sound and lets you move through it.

A drone, texture and sound-design engine: nine different machines under one set of hands, with two reverb spaces built in. Turn the big ROOT knob and the whole voice moves. Everything else colours it.

Nine engines on a 3 by 3 grid. Two oscillators for rings, folds and hard metal. Four wavetable voices for stacks, swarms and crushed digital. Eight partials for beating clusters, quantised chords and noise-struck metal. The knobs stay the same across all nine, and each engine reads them differently, so one panel is really nine instruments.

MAME Synths as Plugins?! Vintage Emulator Studio is Here

video upload by Autodafe

"Vintage Emulator Studio (VES) is finally here!

Download VES here:
https://www.autodafe.net/vintage-emul...

VES started from my experiments with the synthesizers, sound modules, samplers and drum machines emulated by MAME. Over time, after several videos, tests and even A/B comparisons with original hardware, I started wondering: what if these machines could be used in a more musician-friendly environment — and even loaded directly inside a DAW?

That idea eventually became Vintage Emulator Studio.

VES brings together a curated selection of MAME-emulated musical instruments in a single application, available as Standalone, AU and VST3 for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux.

You can download VES for free from my website. As with all my free plugins and sample libraries, there is also an optional €5 Supporter version if you'd like to support my work and future development.

VES is also open source, and the GitHub source code is linked from the product page.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: ROMs are required and are NOT included with VES.
I do not distribute MAME ROMs, so please don't ask me to send them. You will need to provide your own ROM sets. The good news is that MAME ROMs are generally not particularly difficult to find compared with those for some other emulation platforms.

Also keep in mind that VES relies on MAME emulation. Not every supported machine is emulated to exactly the same level of completeness, so some quirks or limitations may come from the current state of MAME itself.

P.S. You may occasionally hear a few small audio drops during this video. My computer wasn't always particularly happy about running multiple emulated machines while recording the screen and audio at the same time — so those glitches are mostly from the recording setup rather than VES itself. 🙂"

Is this the most beautiful MIDI instrument ever? #murobox

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"The Muro Box N40 ( https://murobox.com/en/product/muro-b... ) is a MIDI-fied musicbox with a 40 note range. You can play it like an electric piano or use it as a standard musicbox with its app, which gives you access to a virtually unlimited number of songs to play back. In this video, I'm capturing the audio into my MPC Live III, using a variety of effects to include the Muro Box' sound into electronic music. Table of contents:

BOARDS OF CANADA - 1986 Summer Fire (COVER - Prophet REV2)

video upload by nicola neeco

"1986 Summer Fire: the last track of Boards of Canada’s Twoism EP.

For this cover I used only my Sequential Prophet Rev2, trying to get as close as possible to that warm, slightly worn-out synth tone from the original.

I’m a huge fan of Boards’ short tracks and interludes, the ones that sit between the “proper” songs. To me, some of their real gems are hidden there: small sketches that say more in 30 seconds than whole albums do.

This is my little tribute to one of those moments."

Dreadbox Erebus - duophonic analog synthesizer

"Music: 'Be Sure' (C) Copyright 2026 Alfonse
Download the track here:



All sounds were generated by the Dreadbox Erebus, a paraphonic analogue synth with 2 oscillators, simple but effective controls, and a patch bay, as well as a great sounding lo-fi delay effect.

Make Noise Morhagene // Glitching out a Multiwave drone

video upload by Dexba

"I have too many samplers, and I started my mission to find better or more interesting uses for each of them. The power of the Morphagene lies in being part of a modular system; for example, why not sequence its parameters with the 0-Ctrl?
After changing the S.O.S. mode to make it suitable for live FX usage, I've spent more time than I want to admit (but that's the fun part of modular, isn't it?) constructing this puzzle of balances between something that would become pleasantly glitched, without being annoying or too repetitive, a controlled chaos, if we want.
Ideally, I would have wanted 2 Multimod, to have both stepped and smooth modulations, or maybe a DXG, to control pauses for the Multiwave, but the game was also making something fun and portable in 62HP, and I am pretty satisfied with this first experiment; it won't be the last, so stay tuned, and feel free to comment with your favorite setting for the Morphagene and ideas for a travel setup."

SOMA ENIGMA, Unboxing, First Experiments

video uploads by substatica drones

Playlist:

1. SOMA ENIGMA, Unboxing, First Experiment
2. SOMA ENIGMA, Monopoly Synthesizer Experiment
3. ENIGMA, A Strange Synth with a Beautiful Side

"ENIGMA is an innovative synthesizer fully controlled by the position and movement of metallic objects. Through a unique interface developed by SOMA, every metal object placed on the surface is transformed into sound. The shape, size, and type of object are entirely up to you. Coins, screws, fragments, gears, tools, and any other metallic artifacts will work. The interface sensitivity is extremely high — even a fractional millimeter shift of an object can alter the sound.

MIDI and CV clock sync are included , as well as MIDI note control."

VHIKK X, Ambient Exploration

video upload by substatica drones

"An ambient exploration with the Forge TME VHIKK X. The VHIKK X is set to Bank 1, Algorithm 1.

VHIKK X - https://nightlife-electronics.com/pro...

3D Printed Eurorack Case - https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadge...

Vhikk X by Forge TME is a multi-algorithm experimental synth workshop specialising in [but not limited to] complex drones/basses, rich textures, and dynamic sfx. It combines sound generation and effects processing into one module with multiple different algorithms.

The nature of the Vhikk X makes it suitable for situations where a compact, ergonomic, and self-contained sound source/processor would be welcome - for example smaller modular systems, or large systems where a self-contained sound island with minimised cognitive overhead would be desirable."

MIDI Mapping the Elektron Tonverk - creating macros using the ModWheel & Breath Controller functions

video upload by Abre Ojos

"I've been building a set up for an upcoming live show and using a ‪@NovationTV‬ Launch Control XL to break open the ‪@WeAreElektron‬ Tonverk. The vid starts with the basics like using https://midi.guide/ to start and then uploading the map via Components. Then exploring how to make complex macro effect chains using MIDI CC1 ModWheel and MIDI CC2 Breath Controller to control up to four parameters at once.

Red or green LED?

"MIDISID's LED has always been green and I haven't given it much consideration until the Control Surface came along, which I gave red lights for the retro look. Maybe MIDISID should follow suit."

Noir Synthétique: Eternal Engine APPARATUS (David Bowie cover)

What is Kaleidoscope and why is it different?

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"'Kaleidoscope is a four voice, multitimbral digital synthesizer'. That’s an example of a description that is at once completely technically accurate but ultimately explains so little about an instrument that it is practically useless.

While Kaleidoscope can be used as 4 independent digital voices, those voices live in an environment where the parameters, modulation and sound of one voice can affect each of the others. Systems involving cross modulation and feedback can lead to shifting rhythms, strange interactions and sonic mayhem.

Combining additive, subtractive, FM and physical modelling, it can groove, it can drone, be soft and ambient or angry and aggressive all while inviting you to think about music making in a new way.

Transparency notice:
Vadim kindly sent across the Kaleidoscope for me to make videos about and although I haven't otherwise been paid I do get to keep the instrument.
