video upload by Sineway

"Learn how to connect the Digitone 2 with the Novation Launch Control XL 3 for a consistent synth workflow that works across all your live performances.

🎛 What you’ll see:
My 8 column layout for drums, bass, leads, and more
How I map faders to mod wheel macros and encoders to breath control
Why one fader for all drums (mapped across multiple tracks) is often enough
Extra spice: direct MIDI CC mappings for reverb decay + delay feedback
How to configure the Launch Control XL 3 in Novation Components
How to assign MIDI channels on Digitone 2 for a stress-free synth workflow
Why this system also works with Digitakt 2, Syntakt, Digitone and even other synths like Peak or MiniFreak

💡 I still have unused encoders — what would you map them to? Let me know in the comments.

PRODUCE DRUMS WITHOUT SAMPLES
Stop browsing for the perfect sample and create your own infectious electronic drum sounds instead – with total control.

Tekno offers 18 fully synthesized drum engines, spanning kicks, snares, clap, hats, percussion and more. Craft unique drum kits full of punch and analog flavor to suit any musical genre.

Use MIDI to sequence Tekno directly. Or simply drag and drop your sounds into any DAW or folder for external sequencing.

NEXT-GENERATION DRUM SYNTHESIS
To build Tekno we teamed up with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog circuit modeling. Our goal was to create a modern spiritual successor to the legendary drum machines of the 20th century. Not an emulation, but more.

Tekno stands on the shoulders of classic drum machines but hits deeper and harder. It utilizes a combination of circuit-modeling and cutting edge DSP to deliver the punchiest synthesized drums ever put in a plugin.

DEEP TWEAKING OR FAST INSPIRATION
Click the ‘Gear’ icons next to any synth voice or FX section to unlock deep calibration and circuit-bending options.

Or hit the onboard ‘Dice’ icons to let Tekno’s smart random-algorithm generate all-new drums with every click.

"The Antonus 2600 mini is a faithful replica of the original Arp 2600. It's handmade with thru-hole technology using the same components as the original.

It also has a midi module on the side that can connect to any midi keyboard, as well as give extra CV's for more modulation through midi.

The synth is 80% size of the original but still uses the same size spring reverb for the most faithful sound.

Instruo Pocket Scion & GREAT CONJUNCTION - It is bio reactive(?) test jam

video upload by Arman Bohn

"My synths and device can be found here: https://distropolisgoods.com/

This is my first synth/succulent video ... b-b-b-but I have a good reason!

My Pocket Scion from ‪@instruo‬ arrived toady and it is a hit! I tested it out on many things around my house and couldn't resist making a video.

The Pocket Scion has MIDI out, so you can drive other MIDI capable synths with biofeedback. In this case, I plugged it into my GREAT CONJUNCTION and the two immediately starting talking! The Pocket Scion sends both MIDI note and CC data on up to five channels/CCs and was already configured to randomize the preset voices of GREAT CONJUNCTION. :)

I layered the the sounds from the Pocket Scion and GREAT CONJUNCTION together to create another level of textures.

The web app for Pocket Scion opens up another degree of customization. Can't wait to try that out. Hope they open up the synth engines. They sound really good!

Now I just need to bring some plants to work ..."

Introducing Mimetic Digitwolis: four-channel performance sequencer from Noise Engineering

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Mimetic Digitwolis (MD2) preorders are open now: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

MD2 starts shipping on September 18, 2025.

0:00 Intro
0:19 Four Lanes
0:59 Shred
1:22 MIDI
1:46 Start a Patch"

Press release follows:

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their fun and unique takes on Eurorack modular synthesizers, has released the highly requested Mimetic Digitwolis, a configurable performance sequencer, MIDI-controlled quantizer, and successor to the beloved Mimetic Digitalis.

The original Mimetic Digitalis has become a cult classic, thanks to its quick workflow and performative features. Noise Engineering has worked extensively to revamp and upgrade everything about the new version, while retaining the magic of the original. Fans of the first edition will enjoy familiar features like Shred randomization, extended cartesian sequencing abilities, and familiar editing workflows, all within the same 10 HP package.

Even with those similarities, Mimetic Digitwolis was redesigned from the ground up to be a great performance tool and sequencing utility. The new hardware features five trigger inputs and four CV inputs which can all be freely assigned to dozens of mappings within the module for complete flexibility. All editing and configuration can be done on the new color screen, making it easy to fit the module into your patch and view sequences at a glance. New to version two is the addition of MIDI in and out jacks, allowing a whole new level of connectivity with other studio gear – Digitwolis can be synchronized and controlled with other MIDI devices, and generates MIDI notes and CC modulation.

Mimetic Digitwolis also features a host of highly requested new features. The outputs can sequence four different types of signals – modulation CV, pitch CV, triggers, or gates – or can act as a quantizer on external CV signals. The quantizer can also be used internally on pitch CV lanes, and the scale can be edited within the module or with an external MIDI keyboard. Additionally, clock dividers can be applied to the four channels to change their advance rate, and each channel can have a different sequence length from one to 16 steps.

Despite its compact size and unintimidating interface, it’s clear that Mimetic Digitwolis is a flexible sequencing utility for any system, big or small. "Normally, we put a quote about the product in our press releases," says Kris, the Doer of Many Things at Noise Engineering. "But Mimetic Digitwolis does so much that it speaks for itself."

Mimetic Digitwolis is now open for preorders and starts shipping September 18th, 2025. Available at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

Behringer UB-Xa: 64 Arp Presets Vintage & Modern. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"🌌 Analog Flow is a collection of 64 arp presets for the Behringer UB-Xa analog synthesizer. The bank covers a wide range of arpeggio timbres: warm, deep, dreamy, soft, noisy, bright, dark, distorted, cold, metallic. You can also disable the arpeggio mode and get a collection of diverse plucks.
Since the UB-Xa is a recreation of a vintage classic, this collection embraces its retro character—highlighting detuning, subtle noise, and analog warmth to evoke the sonic aesthetics of the 70s and 80s.
The patches are infused with nostalgic charm and are perfect for adding that vintage soul to your tracks.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/ub-x...

📼 One of the unique features of the UB-Xa is its Atrophy profiles—emulations of various stages of vintage wear and drift. All presets and audio demos were created using the default Profile 1, but you're encouraged to explore them with other profiles to discover variations in brightness, tuning, and stereo width. This adds another layer of expression and depth to the sounds.

🎛 Each preset is performance-ready, with velocity sensitivity and ModWheel assignments mapped for expressive control. The ModWheel introduces additional modulations — such as brightness or movement — offering creative flexibility for both studio production and live performance.

🧿 The soundset is universal, the arpeggios are suitable for all genres of electronic music, including Techno, House, Trance, Lounge, Downtempo, Synthwave, Retrowave, Pop, Indie, IDM, Drum'n'Bass, Breakbeat, Electro, Ambient, Synth-Pop and others.
