Synthetic Sound Labs Announces Wave Oracle™

Synthesizer module review of the the Wave Oracle video upload by Synthesizer Sound Design

"Synthetic Sound Labs Wave Oracle Model 1910

This video is a review of the 5U / MU multi-function module from Synthetic Sound labs - The Wave Oracle.

The Wave Oracle exists to inspire curiosity about signals—and creativity in what you do with them. Your synthesizer makes voltages, but you usually experience the result through your ears. Wave Oracle adds another way to explore: you can see what is happening while you listen.

Press release follows:

Synthetic Sound Labs announces Wave Oracle™, a multi-function signal visualization and learning instrument designed specifically for modular synthesizers. See and explore your sounds.

Wave Oracle™ combines oscilloscope, XY, spectrum analysis, tuning, metering, audio-responsive visualization and integrated learning functions in a single module. Four signal inputs allow several points in a synthesizer patch to remain connected simultaneously, with channel selection available within applicable modes.

Wave Oracle™ is designed to be easy to learn and use, without requiring a background in electronics or test equipment.

SCOPE
Wave Oracle™ can display signals from oscillators, envelopes, LFOs, modulation and complete voices.

The oscilloscope views these as voltage changing over time, revealing the actual shape and timing of a signal. Laboratory-style adjustable timebases, vertical scaling, positioning and triggering allow visualization and measurement of up to four independent synth signals at once.

XY
Plots two signals against one another to display phase and frequency relationships, modulation and Lissajous figures. XY uses Channels 1 and 2 as its X and Y signal sources.

FFT
Where SCOPE shows voltage over time, Wave Oracle™’s FFT modes reveal frequency content and how it changes over time. Multiple spectrum displays provide different views of fundamentals, harmonics, noise, filter response and the evolving spectral content of complex sounds and complete voices.

Automatic and manual display scaling accommodate signals ranging from individual oscillators to dynamic musical material.

TUNER
Measures frequency and musical pitch for oscillator tuning, matching pitches and checking oscillator tracking.

CLAVE. Euclidean Drum Machine - Quick Start

video upload by Oficina de Sonido

via Kickstarter

"Clave, Ecuclidean Drum Machine lets you intuitively play rhythmic patterns that complement and syncopate with one another. Prepare your compositions across 16 steps and 8 sample tracks by saving different versions or parts, and refine your performance with the included effects and filter. All in a single, lightweight, and portable unit. It comes with 5 factory-installed drum kits and has space for you to add your own.

It’s based on what’s known as Euclidean Rhythms, which describes the distribution of beat intervals. It sounds complicated, but that’s exactly what makes the system simple. The best part is that you’re not limited to using the automatic distribution system, you can also program it step-by-step, 'XOX' just like any other drum machine.

In our musical quest to create a hybrid sound that blends electronic music with organic rhythms, we have collaborated with percussionists, designed our own synths and drum machines, programmed digital instruments, and even built electromechanical percussions!

This campaign is to introduce our new drum machine to the world; we already have a couple of working prototypes. We need your support to be able to produce the first batch of machines. This is already our fourth project on Kickstarter—we hope we can crowdfund this one, too!"

SID SYNTH - Turn Your Commodore 64 Into a Live Synthesizer #C64 ⎍∧∿⩘

video upload by LukHash

"Here is a little demo of SID SYNTH, a software live synthesizer for the Commodore 64 and Commodore 64 Ultimate. V1.0 lands on 6 Nov 2026 as a bonus download with my new album 'Neon Airlines', and it is up for pre-order right now:
💾 https://lukhash.bandcamp.com/album/ne...
Pre-order today and the download link drops straight into your inbox the moment it goes live on release day, so there is no waiting and nothing to chase later. You get the full album with it, and pre-orders genuinely help a release like this land.

⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘⎍∧∿⩘

SID SYNTH is a real-time C64 software synthesizer built for playing live. It sits between two amazing programs, the instant playability of Cynthcart and the deep sound design of SID Wizard. That's the middle ground I've been missing. The ultimate tool for live performance on your favourite computer :)

For those who are interested what's under the hood:

Eight waveforms (4 main+combined ones) across three voices (six with a second SID), an adjustable ADSR with hard-restart retrigger, a multimode filter, and fully customisable PWM with its own rate, depth and sweep shapes. Add vibrato, portamento and tremolo, plus switchable ring mod and hard sync. Seven voice modes take you from full polyphony through fifths and octave stacks to arpeggios you can lock to tempo. Then you play it: live pitch bend, vibrato swells and filter swipes you can freeze and latch mid-note, for real expression and sound design beyond presets.

Build your own banks of instruments across 54 slots, save and load them to disk, and jump between sounds on the fly, so a whole set is under your fingers on stage, with a "Live Lock" to keep a stray key from changing anything mid-song.

Full MIDI in adds assignable CC to use with your DAW or any MIDI hardware, program change to switch patches hands-free, and clock sync to keep the arpeggiator in time with your drum machine or sequencer, plus a tap-tempo that sets the arpeggiator's speed straight from the rhythm you tap, so you can lock the arp to your track by ear in seconds.

Twelve reactive visualizers turn a held note into a show, and dual-SID stereo, blackout-clean recording for the real SID chip and automatic PAL/NTSC tuning finish the picture. 👾"

The Birth of Roland Kayn's Cybernetics

video upload by La Synthèse Humaine

"Between 1966 and 1969 Roland Kayn made three pieces at the Studio di Fonologia at RAI in Milan entitled 'Cybernetics I/II/III'. These pieces were Kayn's first attempts at realizing his concepts of cybernetics using electronics and are a fascinating hint at what is to come later in his career as these ideas get fleshed out even further.

In this video we look at the background of these pieces and walk through the techniques Kayn used for 'Cybernetics III' which more or less involve an automated mixing machine to combine pre-recorded concrete sounds and then cybernetic regulators to influence and make decisions about how the piece evolves.

Hack 5.0 | Sonicware Liven Ambient Ø + Evoke

video upload by Sonic Cartography

"What would happen if you connected the MIDI out to the MIDI in of the same synth (a Sonicware Liven, in this case)? Or created a MIDI loop between two synths / Livens? That's what I set out to answer in this video with the Sonicware Liven Ambient Ø and Evoke, and I discovered a whole bunch of tricks and possibilities along the way. Over on my Patreon, I have also released an accompanying set of 26 presets (13 for the Ambient, 13 for the Evoke): / sonicware-liven-166832092

Warning: I did experience a couple of freezes while experimenting with this setup. I don't think there's any risk beyond that, but I'm not 1000% sure about that, and a freeze in and of itself can be aggravating if you haven't saved your work, so please bear all that in mind. A couple more notes below, after the table of contents.

A big thank you to my Patreon super supporters, Maria and Tomasz, and all the other supporters of the channel who made this video possible.

Diving deep into Doppler by Jasmine & Olive Trees, a Eurorack module that makes drums from any sound

video upload by Perceptes and Jasmine & Olive Trees

"In this video, we'll be diving deep into Doppler, a new Eurorack module from Jasmine & Olive Trees that can turn any sound source into a drum! Doppler also has an amazing new mechanism for changing firmware by simply placing an overlay panel on top of the module."

00:00 Meet Doppler 01:13 Patch previews 01:56 Automatic firmware switching 04:28 Module overview 06:18 Noise output 07:09 Kick drum sounds 09:16 Mod control 09:40 Chord mode 11:14 Doppler mode 12:13 FM mode 13:53 LPG (low pass gate) mode 14:57 Snare drum sounds 15:24 Hi-hat sounds 15:39 FM tom sounds 16:13 Chaotic textures 16:36 Full beat with Traffic 20:07 Glitchy percussion 22:49 Different transient sources 26:16 Speech sample as body input 29:44 Chord progression 32:52 Doppler jam

Includes Door, Rubin and Lichen overlays for free, the firmware is automatically swapped when placing an overlay on top of the modul.

Any sound source becomes percussion.

Feed an oscillator, a sample, or any audio signal into Doppler. It shapes it into a kick, a snare, a hi-hat, a percussion, or something else.

It morphs anything into everything. The best friend for Traffic & Prio.

All the processing moves across a continuous spectrum: from a clean signal, to a pitch envelope, into FM modulation for complex percussive textures.

Built on top of our J&OT DSP platform. Future family firmwares can be swapped for free using a simple USB cable and our J&OT web tool, no extra hardware required.

Highlights

Doppler kick engine: delay-line pitch sweep, five depths from –1 to –3 octaves

Harmonic FM: modulator tracks the spectral peak of your input, plus cross-mod chaos at the top

13 chord voicings: major, minor, sus, 6ths, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths via four pitch-shifted taps

Two inputs: Body (main signal) and Trans (transient channel with auto-tuned band-pass)

VCA / LPG modes: toggle via long-press, saved to memory

Independent noise output: dust oscillator whose density tracks input character

CV: on Attack, Decay, Mod, Amount

Smart Attack: noise decay to the left, or long swell to the right, all on one knob

"The DriftLog from Teia Synthesizers is a dual-channel random voltage generator designed to generate, capture, and reshape random voltages in real time. he two channels—A and B—produce independent voltages, but share a set of shaping controls, namely Slope for morphing between stepped and smooth voltages and Shape for sculpting the curvature of the voltages. There's also a 3-position switch that changes the range of the Shape control from Arc to Peak, Exponential rise to exponential fall, and Bezier ease in to ease out. Each channel can be switched into Loop mode, which allows it to record and replay a selectable portion of its random history using dedicated Start and Length controls.

M‑VAVE FM‑1 Review & Sound Demo – Fun Pocket FM Synth

video upload by dongchannel

"How does this under‑$70 FM synthesizer perform? Check out this video for a full feature walkthrough, sound demos, and my honest thoughts.

I first spotted the M‑VAVE FM‑1 at this year's Guangzhou Musical Instrument Fair, and picked one up shortly after for about 300 RMB (around $60). The packaging is minimal, the unit itself is compact (16×9 cm), yet it packs everything you'd need. Connectivity is surprisingly generous, with both wired and wireless MIDI and audio support – really well‑equipped for its size.

Inside, you get a 6‑operator FM engine, essentially a recreation of a classic 1980s Japanese synth. It comes with 128 preset sounds, plus an effects chain, a 16‑step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and deeper editing tools. Pair it with an external MIDI keyboard and the playability expands even further.

Are there minor software quirks? Sure. But at this price, they're hardly worth mentioning. Compared to other portable sound gadgets in its class, the FM‑1 is just plain fun. And for the money, the build quality and feature set far exceeded my expectations."

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.
