Granular synthesis redefined

Break your samples apart to build new and unique sounds

Play any audio file like a synthesizer-in tune with your song

Explore a new world of sound design with audio as your raw material

A firestorm of granular power

Grainferno is an advanced granular instrument built around a new way of synthesizing sound from existing audio. Its next-gen grain engine breaks your samples into microscopic fragments and rebuilds them into entirely new textures.

From pristine tonal clouds to experimental digital noise, Grainferno turns your sample library into an endless source of playable inspiration.

Make a synth from any sound

Grainferno can generate grains at speeds fast enough to cross into the audio range. At these rates, grains stop behaving like texture and start acting like oscillators-turning any audio file into a playable synth voice.

Even at audio rates, traces of the original sonic character remain, giving you unique synth building blocks with the spectral fingerprint of your source audio.

Add modulation and grain-level shaping to build ready-to-use granular synth tones that stay in tune with your song like a traditional synth.

via https://markusr.de/burg.html

"Burg is a great way to start with modular synthesis and plugging in patchcables ;) It provides you with all necessary tools to start your modular journey now. It is a standalone synth voice, complex multi FX processor, controller for external gear or all at once. The perfect companion to any setup, if you already have modular stuff, wanna connect with instruments or other gear. It can work for many different musical approaches and creative processes, it bridges between the analog modular world and external gear. The unique combination of circuits let you customize your desired sound in all analogue ways.

18 individual and characterful modules allow you to explore beautiful and weird interactions. You can easily create dynamic melodies, harmonic drones, weird noises and outer space sound effects. If you plug-in an instrument, a microphone, your favorite tunes or the internal sounds, it is easy to modulate any signal with a crispy filter (wasp-style), a wavefolder, some heavy distortion and a double delay to glitch your mind away. With 55 patching points in total, possible combinations are almost endless. The intuitive touchpad interface gives easy control over multiple CV and gate signals at the same time and is the main modulation source of the Burg system.

Two light dependent controllers guarantee a unique behavior and can be modified easily according to your needs or for experiments. Also other modules can be modified by exchanging components on the back plate, so customizing the frequency range of the oscillators/LFOs or shaping your individual clipping distortion with different types of diodes is possible.

There are two power bus connectors on the backplate so Burg can be used as a power supply for other eurorack modules as well. The internal power supply can be powered with USB-C (barrel jack) from 9V to 18V (center positive) and can work as a power supply for small modular racks using a flying bus cable."

Press release follows:

KORG Introduces phase8, an Eight-Voice Acoustic Synthesizer

MELVILLE, NY - KORG announces the phase8, an eight-voice acoustic synthesizer designed for musicians and creators who want sound that feels alive, immediate, and deeply responsive. Using Acoustic Synthesis technology developed at KORG, phase8 merges physically vibrating steel resonators with precise electronic control to deliver an instrument that behaves like an acoustic object while offering the creative flexibility of a synthesizer. It answers the need for a new kind of expressive electronic instrument by generating sound in the physical world, responding to touch and interaction, and integrating seamlessly into today’s creative setups through MIDI, USB-MIDI, Sync, and CV connectivity.

At the heart of phase8 are eight independent electromechanical voices driving steel resonators to produce genuinely acoustic vibration. KORG supplies 13 chromatically tuned resonators with the instrument, eight of which can be installed at a time, allowing players to customize the tuning, scale, and character of their setup. Through envelope control, these resonators can move from short, percussive hits to long, sustained tones, encouraging hands-on exploration and performance. The resonators are easily swappable and tunable, making the instrument adaptable to individual playing approaches and musical environments.

phase8 has been designed not only to sound organic, but to feel interactive in use. Players are invited to shape sound directly, touching, plucking, strumming, or tapping the resonators, or even experimenting with found objects to introduce new textures. An AIR slider lets users boost or quiet the acoustic response of what they bring into contact with the instrument, enhancing its tactile, haptic character and underscoring its role as a physical instrument as much as an electronic device.

For structured creativity, phase8 features an intuitive sequencer that supports both step programming and unquantized live recording, with step skip available per voice to enable complex polymetric rhythms. Sequences can be stored and recalled across eight memory slots, while all front-panel parameters can be automated using the record function, allowing evolving passages and detailed motion to be captured directly into performance. Three modulation modes are available, including tremolo and two pitch-dependent audio-rate modulation types, with the final mode offering optional harmonic quantization. A trigger delay, controllable via the instrument’s shift knob, allows delayed resonator triggers relative to the selected or synchronized tempo, further expanding rhythmic expression. phase8 is designed to integrate effortlessly into modern creative workflows. External MIDI devices can trigger the Acoustic Synth, while the phase8 sequencer can, in turn, trigger external MIDI instruments over MIDI or USB-MIDI. Tempo synchronization is available over MIDI, USB-MIDI, and Sync, and CV input (±5V) allows parameter control from compatible analogue hardware. The instrument provides MIDI TRS-A In/Out, USB-C for USB-MIDI and firmware, Sync In/Out, a ¼-inch line audio output, and a 3.5mm headphone output.

Practical considerations match the innovation inside. phase8 runs on a 12V AC adaptor and consumes 4.8W of power. It measures 231 x 236.5 x 46 mm, weighs 1.71 kg, and ships with an AC adaptor, hex key, Quick Start Guide, Precautions Sheet, and five more resonators alongside the included chromatically tuned set. phase8 is a new chapter in expressive instrument design, bringing together acoustic behavior, electronic precision, real-time interaction, and deep sequencing control in a compact, performance-ready form.

Press release follows:


KORG Introduces KAOSS PAD V: A Touch Evolution for Modern Performance and Production

MELVILLE, NY - Korg announces the new KAOSS PAD V, a reimagined evolution of its expressive touch-based effects platform, designed for the way musicians, producers, performers, and content creators work today. Building on the iconic KAOSS approach, the new unit arrives as a powerful real-time sound manipulation tool for vocalists, instrumentalists, producers, and performers delivering an advanced dual-touch control surface with expanded effects and sampling on stage, in the studio, and in streaming environments today by reacting instantly to gestures, shaping sound through intuitive touch interaction, and integrating seamlessly into contemporary setups.
The KAOSS PAD V centers on a redesigned touch interface capable of responding to two simultaneous gestures, allowing users to control paired parameters at once and create evolving textures, layered movement, and dynamic transitions in real time. Filter and delay, pitch and reverb, modulation and feedback, and many other combinations become fluid, tactile musical expressions rather than static settings, helping performances feel more alive and interactive.
Connectivity and integration play a key role in this new generation. KAOSS PAD V supports MIC, LINE, and USB inputs simultaneously, enabling vocals, instruments, and computer audio to blend into a unified performance system. A balanced microphone preamp ensures clean vocal input, while a dedicated high-impedance input allows electric guitars and basses to connect directly without added hardware. An integrated USB audio interface streamlines recording, processing, and streaming, making it equally suited to DAW workflows, livestream setups, and headphone monitoring. A newly designed power circuit and refined audio path support low-noise, stable operation whether used in performance venues, studios, or creative spaces anywhere music is made.

Vocal creativity takes a significant step forward with the new Voice FX engine, providing harmonies, vocoder-style layers, pitch-morphed tonal shaping, and expressive textures applied in real time. The platform even allows users to control external MIDI equipment with their voice, opening distinctive performance possibilities that extend beyond traditional effects processing.
Guitarists and bassists also gain a powerful new performance partner. With direct connection via the dedicated high-impedance input, KAOSS PAD V offers fingertip-controlled ambient swells, rhythmic modulation, time-based glitch elements, atmospheric reverbs, and other expressive textures, all shaped by movement across the pad rather than menu navigation or fixed parameter adjustment.

Sampling and looping are built directly into the creative workflow. Users can capture up to eight bars depending on tempo, overdub layers as they perform, keep precise loop positioning during playback, and keep performances rhythmically grounded through BPM-synced Step Hold operation. Multiple playback and slicing options support creative rearrangement, making KAOSS PAD V a capable tool for remixing, live improvisation, and evolving pattern creation.
Honoring its lineage while expanding its scope, KAOSS PAD V provides access to a curated range of classic KAOSS effects alongside refreshed modern processing, from filters, delays, reverbs, and modulation to advanced voice shaping and contemporary textures. Users can further refine their sound using onboard editing tools, tailoring parameters, creating customized variations, saving personal presets directly to the device, and even adjusting pad-LED color and program behavior to suit their workflow. With 300 total programs available - 200 factory presets and 100 user location - plus support for external SD or SDHC cards, the platform balances immediacy with depth.

Compact, robust, and designed for real-time expression, KAOSS PAD V measures 210 mm wide by 226 mm deep by 49 mm high and weighs approximately 1.3 kg (excluding power supply). It includes RCA line input and output connections, balanced/unbalanced MIC/GUITAR input, headphone output, MIDI In/Out, USB connectivity, and ships with an AC adapter and Quick Start Guide. Operating stability from 0 to +40°C ensures reliability across environments.
With KAOSS PAD V, Korg advances the KAOSS concept into a new era, keeping the immediacy and visual interaction that made the series a staple while deepening control, expanding sonic capability, and aligning the platform with today’s creative demands.

Melbourne Instruments announces advanced Logic Pro integration for ROTO-CONTROL

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

Roto-Control (Review): A Logic Pro Controller I Actually Want to Use

video upload by Why Logic Pro Rules

"I was skeptical when ‪@melbourneinstruments‬ sent me Roto-Control for Logic Pro. I've owned plenty of MIDI controllers that ended up collecting dust. But after using this for the past month, I actually reach for it.

What makes it different? Eight fully motorized control knobs with haptic feedback that adapt to whatever you're focused on in Logic Pro. You don't just see parameters change on screen - you FEEL them. End stops on a filter cutoff, notches on discrete values, center indents for faders, pans, and more.

In this review, I walk through the Logic Pro integration, the haptic feedback system, and what it's actually like to use day-to-day. I also cover the real limitations - manual plugin mapping and limited storage - that you need to know before buying."

Press release follows:

Melbourne Instruments announces advanced Logic Pro integration for ROTO-CONTROL motorised software and hardware MIDI controller

MELBOURNE, VIC, AUSTRALIA: Melbourne Instruments is proud to announce availability of advanced Logic Pro integration for its ROTO-CONTROL motorised software and hardware MIDI controller — creatively expanding upon its successful integration with Ableton Live and Bitwig Studio, demand for integration with Apple’s popular professional DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for Mac having been strong since said controller launched to widespread critical acclaim a year ago — as of January 15, 2026…

ROTO-CONTROL readily packs eight touch-sensitive motorised knobs — brushless drone motors with Melbourne Instruments’ patented ultra-high-resolution contactless optical sensors offering a lifetime rating in excess of 50 million cycles that equates to 500 times more than conventional pots, precisely — alongside nine high-resolution IPS (In-Plane Switching) LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays) and 16 backlit RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LED (Light-Emitting Diode) buttons into its classy, compact — 341mm/13.4” (W) x 112mm/4.4” (D) x 44mm/1.7” (H) — form factor to duly deliver haptic feedback and instant parameter recall, communicating with the outside world via MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) over USB (Universal Serial Bus) and 5-pin MIDI DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) IN/OUT/THRU connections. Constructed out of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and metal, it robustly weighs in at only 715g/1.58lb, making it the perfect portable production partner for encouraging artists to use sound and music in new and exciting ways — wherever their journey might end up taking them, both creatively and geographically. Get this, though: ROTO-CONTROL now introduces a fully-tactile, motorised workflow to Logic Pro, delivering fast, hands-on control of tracks, plug-ins, Smart Controls, and automation — all thanks to a new firmware update.

MIX mode mirrors Logic Pro’s session track names, colours, and order automatically, while providing high-resolution control of volume, pan, sends, and automation alongside instant access to track selection, paging, mute/solo/arm switching, and dedicated TRACK FOCUS.

Fast, powerful plug-in control comes courtesy of PLUGIN mode, allowing users to browse and select Logic Pro instrument and effect plug-ins instantly from ROTO-CONTROL using simple touch-and-learn mapping for any parameter, with up to eight pages of controls per plug-in stored directly on the device ready for any projects, plus bypass/select controls — all mappings being saved on ROTO-CONTROL and usable across all Logic Pro projects on any computer.

Cutting-edge control continues with Logic Pro’s Smart Controls being automatically mapped to ROTO-CONTROL, controlling up to 16 Smart Control parameters instantly — perfect for working with instruments, macros, and MIDI effects, available in both PLUGIN mode and the dedicated SMART mode itself.

And as if all that was not enough to be getting on with, ROTO-CONTROL can be used to customise labels, colours, haptics, and steps for each control, while integrated transport — play, stop, record, cycle, auto-punch, and playhead — controls are all accessible from any mode.

It is fair to say, then, that Logic Pro users owe it to themselves — and, ultimately, their sound and music — to consider making some space in their creative and physical world for ROTO-CONTROL. After all, motorised and morphing controls, instant recall, and intuitive hardware are only the beginning of their journeying.

ROTO-CONTROL is available to buy at its new North American price of $399.00 USD (excluding tax) in the USA and Canada, while its RRP (Recommended Retail Price) in Australia of $619.00 AU (including GST) and MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) in the EU of €372.35 EUR (excluding VAT), MSRP in Japan/Asia of $469.00 USD, and MSRP in the UK of £389.00 GBP remains unchanged — all via Melbourne Instruments’ growing global network of dealers here: https://www.melbourneinstruments.com/dealers [check with dealers on the right here on MATRIXSYNTH]

"This tabletop noise synth has been used only a few times for specific recordings and remains in
perfect physical and working condition. The item pictured is the actual item you will receive.

Beatsville (Japan) Exclusive Model

Beatsville description (Japanese to English Translation)

JMTSYNTH, known for its popular creative noise drone synths, has released the DNVO-1a , offering even more flexibility and excellent integration with modular synths! This exclusive Beatsville model features a white acrylic panel and an additional Gate In jack, adding a touch of glamour. It's modulated by the voltage control of a BASTL INSTRUMENTS modular. Five modulation options are applied to the main VCO, which is then output via a brutal noise filter. Each sub-oscillator, SUB1 through SUB3, has its own on/off switch, is set to a different frequency range, and the modulation frequency can be adjusted with a knob. Each one distorts the sound intensely, creating a deluge of organic noise. Additionally, the NOISE knob allows you to apply noise modulation to the main VCO, adjusting the peak point with the knob. The fifth modulator is the WAVE GENERATOR, which can be enabled with the WAVE ON switch. The "WAVE GENERATOR" allows you to adjust the frequency with the WAVE LEVEL knob, while the ATTACK and RELEASE knobs, trigger switch, and Trigger 1 through Trigger 3 knobs allow you to create periodic, rhythmic vibrato and pitch bend. Random, rhythmic bends and long-period ups and downs can also be freely adjusted. This is a very practical technique, as it can be combined with noisy sounds to create noise synth sounds that add rhythmic elements without becoming monotonous. The DNVO-1a (Deluxe Edition) offers three types of trigger type switches. The top position, MIX, mixes the timing determined by the Trigger 1 through Trigger 3 knobs and sends it to the VCO. The bottom position, REPEAT, creates a regular rhythm and rhythmically modulates the VCO. The center position, GATE (OFF), is a special mode that allows the built-in envelope generator-type LFO to be generated from an external gate signal input to the Gate In jack (Trigger 1 through Trigger 3 are turned off, and the trigger is generated from the gate signal input to the Gate In jack). For example, if a gate signal is input from an external sequencer module, you can adjust its waveform with the ATTACK and RELEASE knobs before sending it to the oscillator. The additional CV IN jack also allows you to connect the CV OUT from an external modular or other device to modulate the VCO with an external CV! Everything is intuitive, allowing you to create even the most complex sounds. Furthermore, by connecting to external modular synths, you can explore the variety of analog synth sounds colored by JMTSYNTH's organic noise. This is an outstanding desktop synthesizer with a wide range of synth sounds."
