Prismatci Spray II

video upload by Arman Bohn

"My devices can be purchased here:
https://distropolisgoods.com/

Prismatic Spray II should be out in a few days!

Let's take a look at some more of the new features in the Prismatic Spray II.

I have the new web serial visualization feature running on a Mac this time. I did a screen recording and comped it into this video to demonstrate the possibilities of web serial display & visualizations.

I start by showing how the DETUNE knob works and can create a "chorus" type effect between the two bytebeat engines.

I move on to the SLOW DOWN knob and show how you can slow the bytebeats down and even freeze time - allowing for wavetable-ish type control over the sound. (You can also accomplish this by creating very small loops with the looping feature).

MIDI PITCH BEND is shown with the help the Phantasmal Force micro MIDI controller.

GLIDE allows for some portamento action between notes.

The analog FILTER runs in stereo and is also MIDI controllable.

I finish up with an explanation of the PITCH SCALING feature, which can stretch bytebeat playback determined by a user-specified root note.

Whew!"

PlantsSystem-BlackPoint

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem 'BlackPoint' is a techno sound imbued with a pitch-black texture, constructed using Cyan/n and Rebirth. Swelling low frequencies, inorganic particles of noise, and sharp, cutting synth lines intertwine beneath the minimalist beat, creating a dark groove that draws you into the depths of darkness.
The simple yet powerfully propulsive rhythm creates a profound and tense soundscape, exquisitely blending the transparent texture of Cyan/n with the hard-edged analog feel of Rebirth. The unique atmosphere, a blend of cold and heat, paints a profound worldview throughout the track.

Mystery Synth in Norwegian Vintage Synthesizer 70's and 80's Dreams Full Album

video upload by Kaj Roger Willumsen

This one was spotted and sent in via Ivan Trajkovic aka dejayiwan. Note the video is from 11 years ago so not AI. Could be a render for a soft synth or other though. Could be DIY, but note the touch panel or screen. According to the YouTube comments "Picture is only for cover. Not sure which synth it is. Will try to find out." There was no follow-up that I could find after that aside from mention the album itself mainly features Arturia. You can find a list of hardware synths and some harware synth spotting in this previous post featuring Dreamland. If you know what that blue synth above is, feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of this post, or send email to matrixsynth at gmail.com and I'll update the post with anything definitive. BTW, you can find additonal Mystery Synths via the Mystery Synths label here. There have only been 23 including this one, to date, since 2005. Update: answer in the comments of this post below. That was quick.

Here's the video description for the above:

MultiWAVE Wavetable Showcase | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"While the MultiWAVE technically uses wavetables, it is far from an arbitrary Dagwood sandwich of waveforms! The tables were generated from scratch by our engineers from a thorough analysis of module circuit characteristics, and we carefully tested and curated the selection over a period of many weeks to maximize the sonic signature of MultiWAVE. As such, rather than scanning through a cross section of all possible timbres, wavetable modulation on MultiWAVE is generally more like performing a timbre transform on any number of styles and designs of synthesizer. The tables are organized into categories so you know what to expect from each bank. Let’s check a few out.

Elektron Tonverk

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"Elektron just dropped a new firmware for the Tonverk unlocking Grainer, a brand-new granular engine. [see the announcement post here]
I couldn’t be happier for granular has always been my home base, and seeing it land on a device that’s becoming essential to my workflow feels like a gift (I take it for my birthday!).
I have watched their tutorial on YT and spent less than a hour digging into it and here the result: sculpted noisy, grain-saturated layers that intentionally rub against the cleaner, more refined machines that appear halfway through. A small piece about tension and contrast, basically how I feel today :)"

Ambient Things | OP-XY Stranger Things theme Cover

video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"An ambient reinterpretation of the iconic Stranger Things theme, created entirely on the Teenage Engineering OP-XY.

To celebrate the release of Stranger Things 5, I started working on a traditional cover using the OP-XY and the fantastic Danger Strings sound pack. But while searching through my library, I stumbled upon a pad that inspired a completely different direction.

From that sound came the sketch of an atmospheric, dreamy ambient track. Almost as a joke, I layered the classic Stranger Things arpeggio on top, and surprisingly, it just worked. That accidental blend gave life to this ambient-style Stranger Things cover, something a bit different from the usual reinterpretations.

It wasn’t an easy process: I changed notes, key, textures, and more than once I felt like abandoning the idea. But eventually, everything clicked into place.

🔥 If you’re into ambient music, synth textures, Teenage Engineering gears, or Stranger Things' iconic sound design, this track is for you.

Hope you enjoy it!

🎧 For the full immersive experience — subtle textures, evolving pads, spatial details, and low-end nuances — listening with headphones is highly recommended."

Float Glass Arcade from Lorre-Mill and a DIY Fuzz Factory adaptation.
At first you hear the FGA on it's own, then oscillation from the Fuzz Factory mixed into the FGA, then the Fuzz Factory in a feeback loop with the FGA. A huge range of sounds with these two!"
