Free Round Robin VST Sampler - Robin Control Lite
conduit.dsp - Robin Control Lite - Randomized Sampler Audio Plugin Prototype Features
video upload by conduit dsp
via the maker:
"I made a free VST3/AU plugin called Robin Control Lite. It's a simple monophonic round robin style-sampler that features controlled randomization for all parameters. It's a simple concept, but I created it primarily to facilitate the sample randomization for sound design projects.
Here's a link to the product and the following are some bullet point features:
Dead Simple UX/UI: Every MIDI key triggers the current sample pool at its natural pitch, with controls designed for quick, intuitive adjustments.
True Monophonic Round Robin Playback: Samples cycle intelligently in series or random order so no two hits ever sound identical — essential for natural-sounding SFX and percussion

RudeBox - Drum Synthesizer
video upload by Illegal State Of Mind
"RudeBox is a DIY single-voice drum synthesizer built around an ESP32-A1S.
BUILD YOUR OWN RudeBox! https://jakubthedeveloper.github.io/R...
It started as a simple synth-tom experiment, but gradually evolved into a much more flexible percussion synth capable of producing deep kicks, toms, short noisy hits, laser-like sounds and all kinds of strange electronic percussion.
RudeBox is played dynamically from an external drum pad, with hit velocity affecting the generated sound. Its controls allow shaping the oscillator, pitch envelope, amplitude decay and transient click/noise:
• Sensitivity
• Oscillator Pitch
• Shape — triangle → square → pulse
• Pitch Drop
• Envelope → Pitch
• Decay
• Click Level
• Velocity → Amplitude
In this demo I’m using RudeBox together with:
• *Novation Bass Station II* — bass / synth lines
• *Korg Volca Sample* — additional drums and samples
• *Allen & Heath ZEDi-10* — mixing everything together
The idea behind RudeBox was to build something simple, immediate and playable rather than another menu-driven digital instrument. Despite running on an ESP32, it behaves much more like a small piece of dedicated hardware: plug in a pad, turn the knobs and play.

AE Machine | Architecture For Drums That Never Repeat & Oxide Virtual Tape Processor
video upload by Emiliano
"One practical note: listen to this on monitors or proper headphones. Most of what the machine does lives in the low end and in the stereo field, and laptop speakers will simply delete it. Loud is not necessary, full range is."
This one was spotted and sent in via Ivan Trajkovic aka deejayiwan. There are 21 videos in the playlist above. They mainly focus on AE Machine as a whole, but video 7 is focused on Oxide. You'll find the full video descriptions for the first and seventh videos further below. You can find full details on AE Machine at https://www.peamarte.it/ae - Oxide in chapter 52 of the user manual.
In short, AE Machine (estimated release date of October 2) consists of:
"Eleven synthesis voices built from scratch at sample level, five samplers, two free-running pads. A sequencer where a 16 × 16 Markov matrix decides which step may follow which, a note sieve that re-orchestrates the pattern when you transpose it, a chaotic modulation matrix reaching 271 parameters, morphing between any two presets, and a stem recorder that writes twenty-six files in one press. It runs in Max/MSP 9 on macOS and Windows, and playing it requires no paid Max license: an unlicensed copy of Max opens and runs the machine in full.
This is not commercial software in the ordinary sense. It is my working method, the environment I built night after night for my own music, packaged so that you can play it. When you get it, you are getting research: the reading, the listening, the failed versions, the decisions. The manual is a hundred pages and it is already here, whole, free to read. Trust your ears over any paragraph in it."

Twang CPP - Crossfader-Polarizer-Panner
video upload by temaniak - click CC for subtitles once the video begins.
"Универсальный аудио - CV стерео-процессор от Twang."
"A versatile stereo audio-to-CV processor from Twang."
Crossfader/Polarizer/Panner with a twist.
CPP is a powerful processor for audio, but it also can be used with CV signals. It’s a great tool to work with a stereo field particulary and with a sound design in general. It can be a multitrack bus or individual panner. For small systems it can be end-of-chain mixing tool with vc crossfaders, vc panners and VCA’s.
The module consists of 4 sections: 2xCPP, Mid/Side, 2xVCA.
The first two channels are identical and the module is named after them. We have two signal inputs going to the crossfader, controlled with the knob and cv input. Additionally, there is a handy attenuverter to make cv control easier. After crossfader the signal goes to polarizer, which is actually a bipolar VCA and can be used as classic amplifier, ring modulator or inverter. It can be bypassed symply by routing the signal with switch directly to panner, then it can work independently. There is a dedicated input C for it. Thus we can get 3 input mixer inside one channel. In addition, it has 5V offset switch wich can be useful while processing a cv signals. The final stage is panner. It also has cv input and send our signal to sum in stereo.
The second channel is identical to the first one.
The third section is a “secret weapon” of stereo sound design – Mid/side encoder-decoder. L and R inputs are transforming to Mid and Side signals and then can be transformed to wide stereo field. There is no knobs to control this, but there a lot of ways to use it with other on board sections or with other VCA, VCF or FX modules.
The last fourth channel is a pair of VCA’s. There is a signal input, cv input and signal output. Both are the same and have level control knobs.
Finally, all input signals are summing to master output with deficated level control knob. If we use a channel’s individual output, it will be subtracted from the main mix.

Simple Sequencing is Better! | Doepfer A-155-2
video upload by Braintree56
"The Doepfer A-155-2 is an eight-step analog sequencer stripped down to the essentials — eight knobs, four jacks, and an interface that encourages you to patch first and figure things out as you go.
In this video, I take a look at how the A-155-2 works and explore why I enjoy Doepfer's approach to modular synthesis so much. There's something about simple, immediate modules with no screens or deep menus that gets at what I love about modular: you learn the concept, patch it up, and start making music.
I go through the A-155-2's basic sequencing functions, CV ranges, step controls, ratcheting, sequence limits, direction and random modes, and preset system. I also try out one of the more unusual ideas from the manual — running the A-155-2 at audio rate and using it as a graphic VCO to shape a waveform.
Finally, I put it to work in a few different patches, including a rhythmic patch using the original A-155 alongside the A-155-2.
Doepfer provided the A-155-2 for this video. They did not pay me for the video or have any control over its content. I've been using and talking about Doepfer modules on this channel for years, and this is the first module they've sent me."

VAV X-Wave: Wave-Crosser
"X-Wave is a crossover-synched signal switcher for the Eurorack modular system. It's simple to use (no knobs in sight), but it's also very powerful!
X-Wave has two Signal Inputs (conveniently named SIGNAL 1 IN and SIGNAL 2 IN). It has only one OUT, though, so it is forced to choose between the two signals you give it. To do this, it listens to SIGNAL 1 and decides if SIGNAL 1 is positive (as indicated by the little +).
If SIGNAL 1 is positive, it sends only itself to the OUT jack.
However, if SIGNAL 1 is negative, only SIGNAL 2 is sent to the OUT jack (as indicated, again, by the little -).
So, if you feed two different waveforms from a VCO into SIGNAL 1 and 2 IN (pulse on 1 and saw on 2 work very well together, for example), the result will be a wave shape that cycles between half of each waveform you provided. If you use a pulse for SIGNAL 1, you can also create wavetable-like effects by varying the pulse width of your pulse wave on your VCO.
There are two other functions on the X-Wave that greatly expand its capabilities:
You can connect a third signal to the + DETECT IN jack as an external control of the switching action. This will make X-Wave stop listening to SIGNAL 1, and listen only to the 3rd signal This is very useful for using a pulse wave with PWM to "scroll" between two other waveforms from the same VCO, inserting sub oscillators to toggle between full cycles of SIGNALS 1 and 2, hocketing effects via use of a sequencer or gate divider, non-synched interleaving and switching effects, and voltage-controlled A/B switching or muting.
You can also invert the polarity of SIGNAL 2 using the provided toggle switch. This can be used to correct unfavorable polarity alignments between SIGNALS 1 and 2 or can also be used to turn X-Wave into a full wave rectifier or external-voltage-controlled inverter if you plug the same signal into both SIGNAL IN jacks.
X-Wave can pass signals down to 0hz (DC) so it can also be used to process LFOs, Envelopes, CV Sequences, and 1V/Octave signals. It probably has other uses I haven't thought of!
X-Wave is 4HP and uses Burr Brown op amps for the main signal path alongside other high quality Texas Instruments ICs for other duties. X-Wave is not a bi-directional switch, so please be aware that the IN and OUT jack labels should be followed when patching. X-Wave uses a high impedance of 1M (10x the typical 100k) for all inputs, so multiple units can be connected via stacking cables/passive splitters (up to 10 inputs can be paralleled while still maintaining traditional Eurorack input impedance standards)."

VAV N-Wave: Middle-Out Waveshaper
video upload by Magical Synth Adventure
"Join me as I take the @control_voltage VAV N-Wave Middle-Out Waveshaper for a spin!
The N-Wave is a really imaginative waveshaper. Some waveshapers might fold over the peaks of an incoming waveform, some might rectify them - squaring things off like a fuzz pedal. N-wave keeps the peaks of waveform - like the top and bottom of a saw wave - intact, and instead lets you shape and turn up on the volume on a section in the middle of the waveform - leading to unique tones. This is especially true, as you can vary the width of this middle section!"
video uploads by control_voltage
Playlist:
1. VAV N-Wave: Step Sequenced Threshold
One fun live performance (or studio) use for the N-Wave is to connect a Step Sequencer on the Threshold CV and generate different timbres for each step in a sequence. These act as accents and add a lot of life and feel to your sequences and the feel can easily be changed on the fly using something like a Joranalogue Step 8 as your source of steps.2. VAV N-Wave: Threshold Ring Modulation
In Part 2 of the VAV N-Wave Video Manual, we look at using the threshold control and bipolar vca cv to create new waveforms that have a mixture of normal and ring modulated (quadrature) segments.3. VAV N-Wave Mangles a Triangle
Here, the N-Wave does quite a number on an unsuspecting triangle wave with the help of some nearby modules. N-Wave is kind of like that one kid's house where everyone hung out and cooked up weird DnD campaigns or something. But for modular signals.
"N-Wave is a novel waveshaper for the Eurorack modular format. Unlike traditional wavefolders and clippers, which operate on the peaks of a waveform, N-Wave leaves peaks intact. All you need to expand your sound palette greatly is a VCO signal and a few twists of the knobs!
Using its internal bipolar VCA (aka four quadrant multiplier, aaka ring modulator) you can apply gain reduction and polarity inversion to an inner portion of the wave slope that you define with the THRESHOLD and OFFSET controls.
All functions can also be controlled via control voltage inputs. LFOs, Audio Rate VCOs, ADSR Envelopes, 1V/Oct signals, sequenced voltages, sample and hold signals, noise, and sub octave signals are all very good choices and can produce results ranging from very musical to very strange. An external detector signal can also be applied if you don't want to trigger the detector on the waveform you're modifying.
If you like, you can also use N-Wave as a high quality bipolar VCA, attenuverter, or ring modulator with the THRESHOLD set to maximum and dynamically mute the effect by applying 0V or a negative voltage to the threshold either using a sequencer or manual control, which allows for hocketing and rhythmic effects.
N-Wave can also operate all the way down to 0hz (DC), so, in addition to audio, it can process LFOs, envelopes, 1V/octave sequences, and any other signal that varies amplitude over time (Sorry, square waves and pulse waves. Your super-sonic rise times are hard to shape in an audible way, but you do work well as control signals).
N-Wave is 10HP and uses Burr Brown op amps for the primary signal path alongside high quality Texas Instruments ICs that are carefully chosen to best fit their roles in the circuit."

Best on headphones. "Every sound in this video was made with four Tunary instruments: VRESK, DRUSK, NIVREN and SILT."
via Tunary Instruments
THREE INSTRUMENTS FOR SCORING SPACE, TEXTURE & MOOD
Deep drones, sculpted grains and self-playing glacial beds. Three sound-design instruments made for film, games and ambient music — the sound under a scene, not the tune on top. Buy one, or take all three.
Additional details on each:
VRESK — Drone, Texture & SFX Engine
VRESK holds one sound and lets you move through it.
A drone, texture and sound-design engine: nine different machines under one set of hands, with two reverb spaces built in. Turn the big ROOT knob and the whole voice moves. Everything else colours it.
Nine engines on a 3 by 3 grid. Two oscillators for rings, folds and hard metal. Four wavetable voices for stacks, swarms and crushed digital. Eight partials for beating clusters, quantised chords and noise-struck metal. The knobs stay the same across all nine, and each engine reads them differently, so one panel is really nine instruments.

Xaoc Skopje Explained — A Dual Quantizer with 10,000 Scales
video upload by SynthDad
"On the surface Skopje looks like a simple dual quantiser. Two knobs, two channels, two outputs. But the real power isn't on the front panel — it's on the SD card, where you can define your own scales, chord progressions and microtonal tunings as text files. 100 banks of 100 scales each. That's 10,000 possible scales, and you can build them yourself!
I've covered a lot of quantisers on my channel over the years; Quantermain, various Phazerville apps, and Skopje takes a genuinely different approach. Less going on at the interface, much more depth under the hood.
If you make any kind of microtonal music, or you want a quantizer that gives you real creative control over your scales, this one's worth a look.
In this video I start with the basics of how the quantiser works, then get into the more interesting stuff: using both channels together, playing chord progressions through the built-in Circle of Fifths bank, building your own custom scales in text files, the wrap and clip range limiter modes, and using EDO and Scala format microtonal scales.
