Machinedrum Plug-in Interpretation: MDSYN Presets – Not the ROM, the Other One

As for this video:
"It's not the ROM. It's the other one.
MDSYN is Stigma Audio's 16-track synthetic percussion sequencer: every sound is synthesized in real time. It is a reinterpretation, not an emulation — no firmware, no ROM, its own engine.
This video is a single live take: a run through twenty presets, pattern switching on the fly, a look at the FX, SYNTH and ROUT pages, track mutes, step pages, save and reload, and the delay and reverb sends. When the knobs move on their own, they are being played from an LPD8 controller over MIDI CC.
This plugin comes from my personal collection. Maybe I'll release it one day, but probably not in this design. It is a personal project, not affiliated with or endorsed by any hardware manufacturer; all trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Waldorf Wave Emulation – NO TALKING Sound Demo
video upload by Autodafe
See the announcement post here.
"A quick NO TALKING sound demo of Wave Emulation by mo0kid, a new software emulation of the legendary Waldorf Wave.
This project recreates the Wave using the original Waldorf firmware, with the current release available for macOS as standalone, AU, VST3 and AAX.
In this video I’m simply browsing through a selection of sounds and presets — no talking, just the Waldorf Wave in action.
Wave Emulation:
https://github.com/mo0kid/wave/releas...
The emulator requires the original Waldorf Wave OS 1.700 firmware, which is not included with the software. The firmware can be obtained separately from Waldorf.
π§ Headphones recommended."

UMWELT - Generative Ecosystem Synthesizer (VST / AU)
video upload by Laboratory 0
"UMWELT is a synthesizer made for listening. Press the capsule to generate an autonomous ecosystem with its own weather, tuning, four creature groups, and occasionally a language. Drag across the landscape to rotate the view. Active sounds light up and create ripples, revealing which group is active. The capsules along the top recall recent worlds.
Take your time with each world. Populations grow and decline, day turns to night, storms pass through, and the creatures copy each other's songs with small mistakes, so the same world sounds different ten minutes later.

How it works
A 64-bit seed sets every parameter of a world. The sound is made in four layers.
Substrate is one of four sustained generators:

Plinky 12 Chords // fading light after a rainstorm
video upload by Dexba
"God, this instrument is beautiful.
Beautiful to look at, beautiful to play, beautiful to program, beautifully sounding and showing on camera.
Powered via usb-c, expandable memory, lots of connectivity, clear interface (yeah, hard to believe, innit?), delay and reverb so cheekily good that I don’t feel the need to attach it to pedals that would cost at least as much as the instrument.
I’m in love, join me for a snippet of what I programmed (played?) and has been running as my soundtrack for one of those bright but grey autumn afternoons where the sky looks like a volcano just erupted."
rare birds: MXR Model 113 Digital Delay
video upload by ohm-studi-ohm
"When I first heard of this 1976 digital delay I excepted a lo-fi, harsh and dark delay. I was so wrong... This unit sounds surprisingly warm and clean for a digital fx of that era. Of course if you select the 2.5 Khz preset (which gives you up to 1280 ms of delay if the unit has 4 memory modules like this one) it's very lo-fi. But up to the 10khz preset its really clean.
And I didn't expected it to be such a great modulation fx. You can get anything from chorus, phaser, flanger to ring modulation.
Delay signal can be phase reversed by pulling the mix knob, which is what you want for modulation fx, and the sweep frequency also has 2 modes you select by pullling the knob.
The delay time can be externally adjusted, by mean of CV signal or a simple expression pedal. The later works great with guitar when the unit is in phasing/flanging settings, as the pedal acts like a kind of wah pedal. Here are some examples of what you can achieve with this unit. Though I didn't demo it, this delay sounds also great on keyboards.

Ambient Jazz w/ Prophet-10, Music Easel, OP-1 field | Bits and Pieces 2026-10-02 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"Ambient electronica where an OP-1 field lead floats over soft harmonies.
Today marks the 1000th consecutive day of posting Daily Sound Experiment videos on YouTube. The playlist itself has now reached 1,018 entries.
This piece was created with the Prophet-10, Music Easel, Ambient Engine, and OP-1 field.
The Prophet-10 is processed through the MICROCOSM with reverb and the HAZE effect.
On the Music Easel, a lead is performed using the key. The output is processed through the blueSky with reverb, while an additional filter in Ableton Live is modulated during the performance.
In Ambient Engine, samples including ocean waves and forest sounds are loaded and transformed with the MicroLoop effect to create evolving sound textures.
On the OP-1 field, a lead is performed with the Sampler. A small amount of modulation is added using the built-in CWO effect, followed by reverb from the MOTHER effect.

Djupviks Stereo Bunker Archaeology // The Reverb That Plays Itself
video upload by Lesjamusic
"Two Bunkers. One circuit. Neither of them willing to be quiet.
A walkthrough of the Stereo Bunker Archeology from Djupviks Elektronik. Each channel's envelope follower is wired across to the other side's filter and feedback, so the two halves push each other around until the whole thing plays itself. It's grainy, unstable and occasionally rude, which is exactly what you want from a broken reverb.
Want the Paul Virilio backstory and how the reverb and static circuits work? Watch my Bunker Archeology MkII video first:
Stereo Bunker Archeology is now available in limited quantities. You can purchase your copy through Hause of Hylin (Australia), Green Mod (USA), or directly from Djupviks Elektronik’s Bandcamp page today, Friday, October 2, for Bandcamp Friday.

"This is an exact 1 to 1 recreation of the original, and I have all the original parts, cabling, including the original box. In fact, I barely used it and it’s been the exact same place climate free studio since I bought it less than 2 years ago. This is collector quality and uses all the original military grade components that will last more than a lifetime.   It’s the most amazing tone and is the original Moog sound. The clipping circuit, oscillator and filters sound better than the model D and Model 15."

E-mu Emax II Rack: Why He Bought a Vintage Sampler
video upload by Ian Dixon
"The E-mu Emax II Rack is a 1990 vintage sampler with 16-bit sampling, digital resonant filters, 16 voices and that classic E-mu sample-library character.
In this video I explain why I bought an Emax II Rack, how it fits into the E-mu Emulator family, and what makes this 2MB version with a Gotek drive interesting today. I look at the history from the original Emulator through to the Emax II, load sounds from the Gotek/sample library, play through factory-style patches, explore the filter and envelope controls, and talk about why vintage samplers still feel different from modern software.
This is partly a first look, partly a vintage sampler demo, and partly the start of a new Emax II journey: building a usable sound library, tagging useful sounds, sampling my own material and finding out what this classic rack sampler can add to modern tracks.

Katla Field Notes: Moss

"Fifteen minutes with Katla, unedited.
Katla Field Notes is a series of long-form improvisations on Katla, a polyphonic synthesizer inspired by its namesake, Iceland's largest subglacial volcano.
Recorded at Kleifarvatn, August 2026. Direct out from Katla into Zoom H6, no processing beyond a touch of limiting."
