3rd Party Unofficial Sequential Prophet‑5 / Prophet‑10 Rev4 Firmware Mods



via GitHub

prophet-rev4-mods

version 2.3.0

An arpeggiator and a polyphonic step sequencer for the Sequential Prophet‑5 / Prophet‑10 Rev4, added to Sequential's own Main OS 2.1.0 as a firmware patch. You apply the patch to your copy of the official OS in your browser and install the result over USB like any OS update. Everything is controlled from the front panel.

Built on someone else's idea. The notion of patching the Rev4's firmware, and the proof that it works, belong to another person: an arpeggiator mod that circulated privately showed the way and set the control conventions this project keeps (A440 as the arp button, Bank/Group for modes, Glide Rate for tempo). This project began as additions chained in front of that mod and makes several additions — the polyphonic sequencer with rests and ties, the keyboard octave shift, tap tempo, patch memory, tempo divisions, and more.

New here? The walkthrough takes you through every feature at the instrument, step by step; the manual below is the reference.

Not affiliated with Sequential. This is a hobby project that modifies the instrument's firmware. Installing a modified OS is at your own risk and may void your warranty. Only the project's own code, tooling and notes are published here; Sequential's OS files are not redistributed, which is why you supply your own copy.

New 2.0 firmware for ARTURIA's AstroLab Introduces New Sound Edit View

"AstroLab 2.0 expands what you can shape, play and perform directly from the hardware. Explore the new Sound Edit view, with dedicated parameter pages mapped to AstroLab’s four macro knobs, alongside new sample-based instruments and 60+ stage-ready sounds spanning piano, brass, strings, bass and more."

AstroLab 2.0: It's a Proper Synth Now?

video upload by Sineway

"AstroLab 2.0 goes straight at the biggest criticism of the AstroLab: that it's just a preset player, not a proper synth. The headline feature is Sound Edit, which gives you real synth parameters like envelopes, filter and glide right from the front panel, and you don't need a computer or the V Collection license to use it. So is the AstroLab still just a keyboard full of presets, or is it starting to become something else?

Arturia gave me early access to the update, so I've had time to dig into it before release. In this video I show how Sound Edit changes from preset to preset depending on the engine underneath, revisit the AstroLab vs MiniFreak question now that both instruments have changed, and play some of the presets in a musical context.

Plexiphon | The World's Most Haunting Reverb Is Back


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Nobody has said it out loud, but Plexiphon is definitely Erbe-Verb 2.0.
I will prove it by running it with the old Shared System. I replaced Echophon and Erbe-Verb with Mimeophon and Plexiphon but the Shared remains the Shared. However, when experimenting with different sources - and you'd love the #VHIKK X as a guest - Plexiphon suddenly sounds as new as it's designed to be. When I made the 'What is a Plexus' video, I used XAOC Samarkanda to make my own network so if you want to learn what a plexus is, check it out."

Why isn't anyone talking about this beauty?


video upload by Synth Codex

"A no-talking sound demo of a music instrument that really surprised me. I'm talking about the Organelle S2 by Critter & Guitari, a tiny instrument that can be almost anything. One minute it's a synth, the next it's a sampler, a drum machine, a looper, or a strange effects processor. It doesn't feel like a normal synth, and it's not trying to be one. That's what makes this instrument unique and so fun to play.

I hope this video gives you a feel for what the Organelle S2 can do. Sometimes the best way to make music is to play around and have fun!"

Dirtywave MX (Single Device Demo)


video upload by Dirtywave

"Since the previous video introducing the MX (below), the most asked question has been about if the looper can be used to mix a single device. MX supports up to 24 seconds of stereo looping, so hopefully this answers it.

For this demonstration, we're using only a GBA running @ForsFM FMS."

Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave Firmware 2.0 - Shimmer Reverb & Spectral Wavetables


video upload by Scott's Synth Stuff

Also see Sound Design BEAST! 3rd Wave 8M gets New Firmware

"The Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave just picked up two firmware updates (2.0 and 2.0C) while I was off hiking amongst the Sequoias — so let's install them and dig into what's new.

The headline is the new shimmer reverb, and it is gorgeous. It blooms, it tracks the note you're playing, and the Pitch Amount parameter lets you set the interval it shimmers up in — set it to 12 for octaves, 4 for thirds, whatever fits the key. It's also a Mod Matrix destination, so you can ride it with aftertouch. I'll show you exactly that.

We also look at the rebuilt Make Waves wavetable creation with its new Spectral mode — sampling sounds from a Leviathan and turning them into wavetables, then comparing Spectral against the classic Pitch-On method side by side. The results genuinely surprised me.

In this video:

Shimmer reverb walkthrough: pitch amount, bloom speed, HF damping, pre-delay, feedback

New Spectral mode in Make Waves vs. classic Pitch-On — real audio comparisons
SysEx support for the upcoming official 3rd Wave editor
Per-part NRPNs, un-smoothed envelope retrigger (hello, clicks), and the WAV header import bug fix
The CPU limits on shimmer: which parts can share it, and why the 3rd Wave 8M doesn't care

The 3rd Wave is still one of the best sounding synths I've ever played — 24 voices, 24 real analog filters, and a UI so well laid out it barely needs an editor. Huge credit to Groove Synthesis for continuing to support it."

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. Like other videos I make, this video started to be released on my Patreon a little while ago, before being made public on here, so if you'd like early-access to future videos, please consider joining!"

FILTER FM (STYLOPHONE PATCHBOOK 2.0) - CPM DS-2 ANALOG DRONE SYNTH


video upload by Stylophone

"CPM DS-2 ANALOG DRONE SYNTH
The FILTER FM patch works by moving Drone 1’s cutoff around at audio rate.
Start by turning down Drone 1 so we can just hear Drone 2.

Pitch Link is switched on, and the pitch is set to the middle. This means any changes to the pitch in Drone 1 will also be matched in Drone 2.

The output is set to a saw wave, and we’ve got the LFO linked to pitch, with the LFO depth turned up just slightly. This means the pitch will drift around a little bit.

Resonance is turned down and the cutoff is all the way open. This means we just get the raw output from Drone 2. Turn its volume all the way up, but plug in a patch cable — we’ll need this later.

Over on Drone 1, the pitch is set to 9 o’clock. We also have a saw wave selected, but the routing switch for the LFO is set to X-Wave. This stops it from affecting the pitch.

We’ve got the cutoff set to 12 o’clock and the resonance at 3, giving us quite a big resonant peak.

Now, when we plug the output of Drone 2 into the cutoff of Drone 1, the filter is going to get moved around at audio rate.

For a more extreme sound, try turning up the pitch LFO on Drone 2.

Also, add a bit of reverb.

Intuitive Instruments Improves Exquis MPE Controller with Firmware 2.2.0 Update


video uploads by Intuitive Instruments



Exquis - Ableton Live integration (feat Primo Taut)

video upload by Intuitive Instruments

Press release follows:

Intuitive Instruments improves Exquis MPE controller with firmware 2.2.0 update alongside Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Cockos Reaper workflow-merging scripts


SAINT-CYPRIEN, FRANCE: Intuitive Instruments is proud to announce improvements to the award-winning Exquis MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) controller with major updates coming courtesy of introducing firmware 2.2.0 alongside software scripts to merge its workflow with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and Cockos Reaper DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) — wholeheartedly representing several simultaneous steps towards the inspirational solutions for music lovers creator’s goal of ultimately making music-making seamless by turning the flagship instrument itself into the ultimate lightweight and compact creative hub — as of September 8…

Exquis enables seamless and natural interaction with all DAW software, MIDI synthesizers, and modular systems by becoming a direct extension of its user’s creativity as an expressive and intuitive MPE controller comprising a hexagonal matrix of 61 backlit soft silicon keys arranged as consecutive notes (semitones) horizontally and harmonious notes (thirds) vertically — from the lowest at the bottom to the highest at the top — that provide independent gestural control over four different dimensions: velocity (strike force), horizontal tilt (X axis — pitch bend), vertical tilt (Y axis — CC#74), and pressure (Z axis — channel pressure or polyphonic aftertouch). Alongside a namesake companion app — itself optionally offering an experience akin to traditional composition software — available on macOS and Windows with support for VST, VST3, and AUv3 audio plug-in formats, Intuitive Instruments’ flagship instrument is intended to provide musicians of all levels with a fun and intuitive way of creating melodies and progressions, fully exploiting sonic potential in the process of doing so — whether working with third-party software over the USB (Type-C) connection, third-party software or hardware synthesizers through the MIDI IN and OUT (minijack) connections, and modular synthesizers via CV (control voltage) with dedicated 0-5V (minijack) connections for GATE (V-Trigger), PITCH (V/Oct), and MOD (pressure or velocity). These top out a lightweight (600g) and compact — 36 mm (H) x 146 mm (W) x 317 mm (D) — desktop design that also incorporates four rotary/push encoders and a six-zone capacitive touch slider, plus a series of selection, undo/redo, and action buttons, providing precise and intuitive control collectively over any user’s sound while enhancing interaction with the app.

Akai S2000 Sampler NEW OLD STOCK with Extras Including Original Box

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this Reverb listing

"New old stock Akai S2000 classic sampler with extras. Opened just to take pictures and to be turned on.

Includes original set of Floppy Disks (OS 2.0, MESA, Sounds Disk, Demo Sequence), SCSI, Manual in German, the Optional Original Akai 32 Mb memory expansion SIMMs, a 16 GB SD Card with preloaded 7 of the original Library Discs (vol. 1-7 ) in Image Files format ready for eg. ZuluSCSI readers. This images were created from my original Akai CD library vol. 1-7 with a Plextor Drive and are not from any uncertain web source.

Unit comes new as it was sold back then, so NO optional output expansion is present. The unit has the standard 2Mb memory fitted, the buyer will expand its memory to its maximum (32 Mb) with the new Akai SIMMs provided as pictured.

For any Akai Sampler Collector the oppurtunity to own a new unit directly from the past (so no yellowed knobs or buttons or any other sign of use)

Due to the almost-vintage nature of the item it listed in Reverb as used-mint but it is actually NEW."

New Loopy Pro 2 Demos & Artist Spotlight


video uploads by Loopy Pro

Playlist:

1. Loopy Pro 2: Polyphonic Clip Playback with MIDI
Explore one of Loopy Pro 2’s most powerful new features: polyphonic clip playback. This tutorial shows how to trigger audio clips using MIDI — either pitched, where each note plays a different pitch of the clip, or sliced, where each note plays a different part of the audio. You’ll learn how to set up MIDI routing to clips, configure playback modes, and fine-tune behavior with features like fade-out-based note decay. We’ll also cover how to use loops as polyphonic targets, letting them sustain while held, and how to add an intro section to act as a sample’s attack before the loop takes over.
2. Loopy Pro 2.0: MIDI Loops & Signal Flow Explained
Learn how to harness the power of MIDI loops in Loopy Pro 2.0. This tutorial walks you through connecting a MIDI controller — whether it’s an external keyboard or the new on-screen keyboard — to a MIDI loop for recording and looping MIDI performances. You’ll also learn how to route that loop to an AUv3 instrument or any other MIDI destination to bring your loops to life. Plus, we’ll take a look at the redesigned mixer and demystify the new signal flow system so you can take full control of your setup.
3. Loopy Pro 2: Organize Your Mixer with Collapsible Sections & Rows
Loopy Pro 2 introduces powerful new ways to keep your mixer tidy. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to collapse entire sections — like Inputs, Outputs, or Groups — to hide them until you need them. You’ll also see how to collapse individual rows to save space and reduce visual clutter, making it easier to focus on what matters in the moment.

Loopy Pro Artist Spotlight #1: Dub FX

• How he controls his vocal effects, pedals, and sequencer entirely from the APC40
• The plugins and processing chains he uses for live sound design
• Touring insights: his approach to backups, reliable USB hubs, and hardware quirks
• His approach to the full artist cycle — from writing and releasing, to content, clubs, and festivals
• His philosophy on collaboration — and how looping opens up space for others

Discopolis 2.0/Kris Menace & Lifelike (Novation Circuit Tracks Beach Mix)


video upload by Guinan

"I'm travelling so I hope you enjoy some of the slightly different videos I'm posting. This weeks video is a reworking of a track I put out last month following a suggestion by @DerrynGrierson
I wasn't happy with audio/video on the original (see below) so this is a reworking of the same.

Kris Menace & Lifelike have released multiple versions of the track so I feel pretty justified in putting out another mix of the track! I thought however I had to come up with something new so this was re-programmed and then played live on the beach! The line out went straight into a Zoom LiveTrak L6 so everything you hear is just as it was played on the Circuit Tracks 'on the beach'.

It's harder than it looks playing live on a beach (the tide was coming in....). I missed the filter sweep in the track completely! Stay tuned to the end, if you can, to see what a beautiful place this was played at.

Till next time, stay tuned."

Discopolis/Kris Menace & Lifelike (Novation Circuit Tracks Version)
video upload by Guinan

"This week’s track is the 2005 cult club-classic, ‘Discopolis’ by Kris Menace (an alias of DJ Christoph Hoeffel) and Lifelike. Recreating this was suggested by subscriber @DerrynGrierson. Thanks for the excellent suggestion Derryn!

It’s very likely I’ve heard this but it hadn’t been something I’d really noticed. I absolutely LOVE it and it has been a pleasure listening to the (very) numerous mixes and remixes to get an idea as to how to recreate this onto the Novation Circuit Tracks.

It features a very prominent sample from the start of the Italo-disco song 'Another Life' by Kano. Incidentally this sample is also used elsewhere (e.g. by Nero) so you might recognise it. I was able to find and use the same sample and build the song around it.

Everything you hear was programmed and played on the Novation Circuit Tracks. No extra synths/effects were used in the playback and the stereo track has not been remastered or otherwise altered.

I’m trying out a different way of filming/recording these direct to camera so apologies if the video is a bit dark. Almost knocked over the mirrorball too!

I hope you enjoy this track and come back again for other future recreations. Thanks for watching."
