Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave - First... Ride?
video upload by Some Synths with SOMENERV and SOMENERV
"Demoing my first multi-part sequence on this new-to-me 3rd Wave, as well as sharing first impressions.
Relatively short but a bit rambly. Definitely more talking than synth sounds, so apologies in advance if you came mostly for sounds. More videos with less or no talking to come as I continue to get more familiar with this incredibly deep and amazing sounding synth."

Oddment ODD-1 Granular Sampler -5 Minutes With Demo
video upload by sonicstate
"@matthsmatthsmatths spends some quality time with the @oddment-audio Oddment ODD-1 granular sampler. With 4 granular playheads, 2 layers and 8 voices with Filtering and saturation plus Reverb and Delay FX, you can build some deep textures and landscapes.
ODD-1 has three modes of operation:
Synth mode for combining multiple samples
Loops Mode - four independent loop buffers
Live mode - transform a live audio input
And yeah, we know this is somewhat over the 5 minutes length, but with such a lot of evolving sound, its hard to keep it short!
ODD-1 is also available as a plug-in ODD-1V has he same features but in software only."

Quand un flanger modulé par un signal à front raide se prend pour un Karplus-Strong
When a flanger modulated by a steep-edge signal thinks it's a Karplus-Strong

"Les joies du développement 😉 Le Flanger avec une modulation carré ou S&H devient un quasi excitateur Karplus-Strong. Inattendu et réjouissant 😉"
"The joys of development 😉 The Flanger, with square-wave or S&H modulation, turns into a sort of Karplus-Strong exciter. Unexpected and delightful 😉"

WGD Modualr Has Been Busy… 3 New Eurorack Projects!
video upload by wgd modular
"In this video, I’m giving you a quick update on what I’ve been working on over the summer and showing three new projects that have recently made their way into my Eurorack setup.
🎛️ First up is kefir, a simple 24HP four-channel stereo mixer with input normalization. I needed another stereo mixer for my 1U row, so I took one of my already proven mixer designs and turned it into a dedicated 1U utility module.
🍉 I also made a 1U version of melon. Since a 4HP Eurorack module fits perfectly into a 1U row when rotated by 90 degrees, I designed a new 22HP panel for the existing melon PCB. The module now fits nicely into my 1U row, and there are already more new firmwares in development including a port of the Mutable Instruments Elements engine.
🌱 Lastly, I completely redesigned my Daisy-based stereo multi-effects module. The new version is called carciofo and is built around the new Electrosmith Seed 3. It is only 6HP wide and adds two buttons and a WS2812B RGB LED for a much more flexible interface.
For this video I’m also taking the new Quattro firmware for a spin, which puts drive, chorus, delay and reverb behind the four knobs."

Late Night Ambient | Eurorack Performance #39 (MOMENTS)
video upload by David Falcon
"Sometimes music has this magic healing power. While making this one I was reflecting a lot on the small beautiful moments of life we often overlook while we are busy with other stuff. I felt more grounded and inspired me to be more present, more aware. Right here, right now.
Patch notes:
I have tweaked a little bit my Palette case again. Zadar was not right for this build so I swapped it for Pamela's New Workout from my bigger case. As the FX was being used as a filter I then decided to bring back the Shakmat Dual Dagger to this case. I love this build so far.
This is my first time with Ornaments and Crime module. It always looked a bit intimidating with all the various modes, but for now I focused only in one (Acid Curds) which is the perfect pair for Saich. It sends 4 note chords to the 4 V/oct inputs of Saich creating these beautiful chords. To add more interest I have Saich in arp mode, modulated with an LFO from PAMS at a different subdivision than the chord sequence. This way pseudo-generative melodies are created. I was improvising changing the subdivision of the arp within Pams.
Then there are Mimeophon and Arbhar providing ambience to the track. Mimeophon is the delay and reverb for the Saich part and in the outro I looped a bit and improvised within the module. It is very performative, it is my favorite part of this module.
In Arbhar is just a simple sample of my kids playing with some instruments and there is a triangle hit in the middle that sometimes pops out in the mix. This element, despite being subtle, is what brings the emotional depth to this piece in my opinion."

Akai S900 and S950 with custom Operating Systems
video upload by Mike Feedback
"I developed a custom operating system for the Akai S900 and Akai S950 samplers which turns them into real-time signal processors. You can run audio through them and have them add that 12-bit grit without having to worry about sample time.
If you have an s900 or s950, download it for free:

S900FX and S950FX Anti-Alias mod
video upload by Mike Feedback
"I corrected a sample rate bug and added the ability to turn off the anti-alias filter in the latest version of S900FX and S950FX.
S900FX and S950FX are custom operating systems for the Akai S900 and Akai S950 that turn the hardware into signal processors that allow you to apply their 12-bit grit to the audio signal in real-time. Pass the audio through them and record into your modern sampler.

SISKworks cassette loop synth with effects & sequencer | Knobcon 2026
video upload by CatSynth TV
"Mike Sisk from Siskworks demonstrates the Capstan SM, a unique tape loop synthesizer prototype, at Knobcon 2026. One can think of it as a 'poor man's Mellotron'.
This instrument uses a physical tape loop to create sound. There are five note buttons, each with a trigger and independent speed knob for the motor. Additionally, there are several available effects via a built-in microprocessor. There is even a sequencer that can drive the cassette loop.

Plexiphon Is Now Shipping! | Make Noise
video upload by MAKEN0ISE
"On Saturday, October 3rd, at 3 pm, Tom Erbe will be at Perfect Circuit in Burbank, California, talking about all things Plexiphon and soundhack. The event is free!
The Make Noise Soundhack Plexiphon is a stereo, modeless spatial texturizer which allows for continuously morphing between reverberations and multi-tap echoes, the widest range of possible results being neither reverb nor echo, and all results highlighting and amplifying character previously hidden in the source material being processed.
The Plexus control simultaneously modulates the number of feedback paths in the algorithm, and their entanglement together. The Size of the paths determines the temporal relation between them, operating like a 'delay time,' or a 'room size,' at either extreme of Plexus.
Diffuse and Color offer softening/sharpening/darkening/brightening effects over time.
Couple and Skew are stereo operations: Couple determines to what degree the left and right sides are isolated or intermingled (from 'dual mono' to fully interlaced stereo), while Skew offers simultaneous inverse or tandem control of the left and right paths on the Plexus, Size, and Color parameters.
The Send gate input (normalled high, or patchable) determines whether and when the input signal will be fed into the Plexus.
An envelope follower is provided at the CV output for re-integration of the Plexus into its own controls or elsewhere in the voltage controlled system.
Plexiphon is built from entirely new code by Tom Erbe, specifically for Make Noise’s newest digital hardware.
