Behringer JN-80 - Sounds Like a $HIT - I mean, sounds like a synth lol


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie - After Hours

"Look, what am I supposed to say, it sounds fine, it plays fine, it's not a bad product.... BUT, how can I be excited about something that I don't care about. It literally sounds like a synth, not bad, not great, not inspiring, BUT who cares. It's a tool, use it if you got it. I could make an album with it as easily as a real Juno-60/106. I wouldn't buy it, but that's not because of any other reason than I don't need another synth lol. Behringer JN-80 is fine, but a Cmaj7#11 is the same no matter what the brand. Don't push brands, push creativity.

The Sequential Fourm: He didn’t get it… until he played it.


video upload by Devin Belanger

"The Sequential Fourm looked limited on paper, but after a month in the studio, my perspective has completely shifted. In this Fourm review & demo, I’m moving past the specs to focus on 4 performance demo songs that showcase the unique tactile experience of this 4-voice analog synthesizer.

The combination of a 100% analog signal path and Polyphonic Aftertouch makes this one of the most expressive instruments Sequential has released in years. Whether you are scoring for film or sound designing from scratch, the Fourm demands a different approach to synthesis.

Fragmenter Mini - HDMI Video Glitch Processor


video upload by LoFiFuture



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

The Fragmenter Mini is based on the Extron DSC HD-HD HDMI scaler. It is a compact with a HDMI input and output capable of processing and scaling a HDMI signals from 480i up to 1920x1200, 1080p/60, and 2K.

With this modification I have extended the enclosure with a new 3D printed top shell that accommodates the controls.

There are 32 different bend points, 24 of them controlling the colourise effects and the other 8 controlling the fragment effects. This scaler has a very unique way of processing the image that results in the image being sliced into sections at a 45 degree angle when the fragment effects are applied.

The potentiometers are off in the middle (12 o'clock) when they are panned either left or right they control the intensity of that particular effect.

Each column of potentiometers are connected to a common bus, and each of these common busses can be connected to the column next to it via a momentary push button or a latching toggle switch. A useful feature when preforming visuals to music.

The original front panel buttons are concealed behind the front panel but can still be easily accessed with something like pencil for setting the output resolution. Otherwise they are never needed and dont access any fun parameters anyway."

Smart Wavesplicing for Creative & Unique Tones & Modulation // 3 Patches with SW3 Splice from DPW


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the new SW3 Splice module from DPW Design. It's a smart zero crossing and zero difference dual switch module ... a mouthful maybe, but it's two channels of intelligent switching for audio or CV with simple to use options for anything from making mutes, manual gates, click free audio switching, modulation waveform chaining and a whole host more.

This is a '3 Patches' series video, where we distill things down to just 3 patches, but I've added in some bonus bits where I wanted to change up something in the patch to explore how the module performs with other sources. Check out the patches below."



"Wavesplicing made simple. It works both with audio and control signals or a mix of those.

The SW3 is a module to splice (switch) any signal together with something else click free at up to high audio rate. A tool for audio and CV experiments. A way to expand what you already have into new sonic and control roams.

It can be dual mono, stereo coupled or switching mono into stereo for big stereo fields."

Splice made its first appearance on the site last October.

Press release follows:


Noise Engineering announces Multi Repetitor, an algorithmic percussion sequencer designed for performance.

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their unique and compact utilities, has released Multi Repetitor, an algorithmic trigger sequencer and sequel to their classic Numeric and Zularic Repetitor trigger generators.

Multi Repetitor has been completely rethought from the originals, and takes the core features of the version one designs into a whole new realm. Rhythm generation starts with the three rhythm banks: choose from Zularic, Numeric, or the newly developed Euclidean-derived linear rhythms, then use the Prime fader to scroll through base rhythms on the fly. Like its predecessors, it features four trigger outputs, now with dedicated performance faders that modify the rhythm output.

The newly rethought – and reversible – interface based adds extra parameters for more control of all four outputs. While it keeps the clock and reset inputs, Multi Repetitor also features an internal tap-tempo clock for standalone sequencing. Finally, this version adds four accent gate outputs to the interface. The impetus for these changes, according to the team, was to make the module fit better into compact percussion systems while still being a fun generative sequencer for larger systems.

While it’s possible to get deep into rhythmic modification with the extensive patterns, modification algorithms, and accent options, Multi Repetitor is designed to be a plug-and-play rhythm sequencer. Noise Engineering said that one of their goals was to make it easy to tweak parameters by ear and jam with no preparation required.


Multi Repetitor begins shipping on January 22nd at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

Features
• Standalone play: tap in a tempo, patch up the outputs, and you’ve got a groove
• Sequence triggers and accents for up to four voices in your systems
• Choose from Zularic, Numeric, or Euclidean-derived base rhythm banks
• Select different base rhythms from the banks using the Prime fader
• Use three different algorithms to modify each output’s rhythm with the performance faders
• Modulate your rhythms with full CV control over faders and banks, and keep things in sync with external clock and reset inputs
• Plug-and-play operation: simple interface designed for performance is easy to use out of the box


Availability and pricing:

Multi Repetitor: In stock. Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting January 22nd, 2026; MSRP US$320

"Nymira is a standalone harmony instrument designed around the circle of fifths. Its sonic engine draws from the overtone series, offering detailed timbral control across seven individual partials. Three distinct models explore different synthesis methods; one rooted in additive FM synthesis, another in classic subtractive design, and one based on granular synthesis. Together, they provide a new, expressive way to shape rich and complex harmonic textures.

Nymira is the only instrument in the world that maps the Circle of Fifths to a physical interface. Nymira is designed with Western harmonic theory at the core, allowing you to discover beautiful chord progressions that are much harder to play on other instruments.

Like all Terraphones, Nymira is assembled by hand, and is housed in solid walnut. Underneath Nymira’s keys are Cherry MX Silent Red keyswitches that offer a clean, tactile experience. With the ability to run on four rechargeable AA batteries, Nymira lets you play anywhere. Inside Nymira are two surface transducers that turn the walnut enclosure into a speaker of its own. Playing Nymira in this mode allows you to hear its warm sonic engine played through the walls of its walnut housing. Nymira also excels in the studio. It is equipped with USB MIDI out, and a stereo 1/4" audio output. If you don’t want to use batteries, Nymira can be powered via USB-C with any device that supplies 4-17 volts.

Nymira is made by Thomas Adam Billings, the sole creator of Terraphones. Every part of Nymira is ethically sourced, assembled by hand, with solid walnut sourced and milled in the United States of America. By purchasing Nymira, you are directly funding the ongoing research and development of a new wave of natural, electroacoustic musical instruments.
