PlantsSystem-KOSMOS3 InteractiveReverb

video upload by plantssystem

"KOSMOS3 is an interactive reverb instrument that transforms reverberation from a static audio effect into a playable, responsive acoustic space. Instead of applying a fixed ambience, KOSMOS3 continuously reshapes its internal reverb field based on incoming audio, gestural control, and real‑time modulation signals.

At its core is a multi‑parameter reverb engine capable of smooth, expressive morphing across decay, diffusion, pre‑delay, and spectral balance. These parameters respond immediately to performance input, allowing the reverb to behave like a dynamic environment rather than a background effect.

Key features include:

Interactive control via MIDI, OSC, TouchOSC, and HID
Real‑time modulation for shaping spatial texture during performance
Headless operation suitable for installations and long‑running setups
Instrument‑like behavior where the reverb becomes an active part of the performance

KOSMOS3 functions not merely as an effect processor but as a playable acoustic space—a reverb you can push, bend, and sculpt in real time."

Tempera Quirks and Foibles by Benge

video upload by Memetune Studio

"I’ve been exploring granular synthesis since around 1997, when Native Instruments brought out Reaktor, because it was the first system I knew of that had a granular synthesis engine built into it

But even before that I was experimenting with certain samplers that could do a sort of proto-granular thing where you could control the loop start and end end points of a sample independently, and use sliders to scroll through the sample by hand (for example on the Fairlight CMI 2X and also the Akai S612)

But nowadays we have it so easy, as there are a whole slew of desktop granular devices coming out, often based on ARM chips, such as the Tasty Chips GR units, the recent Waldorf synths, the Torso S4, Endorphines Evil Pet, not to mention the Mutable Instruments Clouds and its many derivatives

And then there's this little monster, The Beetlecrab Tempera - a strange and tiny box which takes granular synthesis and does something completely unique with it

It’s got 8 stereo granular samplers at its heart, but the way you interact with them is using the 8x8 touch-points. They are called emitters, and you play them either over midi or using some of the touch-points. You can change and trigger emitters in x - y directions, and it's all extremely complex, and things can get really wild very quickly, so as this is my first patch on it, I decided to keep it simple by using just 2 of the 8 grain samplers

I captured the samples myself using the built in mic (sample 1 is just tapping the box with my fingers, and sample 2 is me humming

It also has comprehensive mixing and FX processors, so here is a little ambient sketch done in real time, using just the Tempera

I’m going to have fun exploring this thing - especially when I integrate it into some of my modular systems, once I have got my head round its many quirks and foibles"

Modular "Groovebox" Patch | Intellijel Atlantix, Metropolix Swells, Sealegs, Flurry + more

video upload by Intellijel

"The aim: to build a modular 'groovebox' patch, complete with drums, melodies, FX, macro controls and more. Atlantix is the foundation of this patch, and we tried to use it for as many voices as possible here.

Matt highlights some different patching ideas, tips, tricks and module features along the way.

Isla Electronics 'ASICS' Demo (Virtual Andromeda A6)

video upload by Isla Electronics

"A quick tease of one of the internal caladan engines.
This one is likely going to be polished up and also released as a VST/AU plugin soon.
Still work to do but it's almost feature complete now.
Fully sysex compatible with the original machine and can actually also behave as a remote controller for the real hardware.

More Later...
Enjoy!

You Can Program This Reverb Like a Synth: A Deep Dive into Liminal Space 2, Haunted Digital Reverb

video upload by Keith Crosley

"Liminal Space 2, the haunted digital reverb synthesizer, is here! I'm taking a deep dive into my latest retro-reverb innovations. Liminal Space 2 is a reverb plugin with deep programmability, wavetable LFO modulators (What!?), and extreme possibilities. AND... There's a FREE version! Woot! Grab your longest delay line, download Liminal Space 2, and get ready for a SHIMMER-A-GO-GO episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!

Liminal Space 2 is a Windows CLAP/VST3 plugin (Mac to come) built on a Householder matrix feedback delay network derived from Airwindows' kCosmos, with 2,000+ selectable algorithms from tiny ambiences to infinite tails. Nearly every component has its own dedicated wavetable LFO — so you can program a reverb the way you'd program a synth.

What you'll learn:
How a Householder matrix feedback delay network actually works
Why wavetable LFOs make a reverb programmable like a synthesizer
What the new Diffusion Matrix does — and why modulatable diffusion matters
How True Shimmer differs from pitch-shift shimmer
Recreating Lexicon 224 "mode enhancement" delay modulation from scratch
Using Derez, Random Frame, and stepped LFOs for haunted digital textures

First Steps with OXI One MKII / EP. 17 : Basic MIDI connections

video upload by OXI Instruments

"Learn the fundamentals of MIDI connectivity with the OXI ONE sequencer! In this beginner-friendly tutorial, we cover how to connect and control multiple instruments — from setting MIDI channels on a Novation Peak, to daisy-chaining gear with MIDI THRU (Vermona Perfourmer), to syncing a drum machine like the Tonverk.

You'll learn:
- How MIDI channels work (16 per port, up to 96 with an OXI Split)
- How to wire up a basic MIDI chain
- The difference between full sequencing and simple sync (start/stop + tempo)
- When to use an OXI Split instead of long MIDI chains
Whether you're just starting out with hardware sequencing or building a bigger studio setup, this video will help you get your gear talking to each other."
