Kevin Parker Built a Synth and It's Actually Incredible: Telepathic Orchid Reviewed (Plugged In)

video upload by Splice

"What happens when you plug the Telepathic Orchid into Splice INSTRUMENT and let it run? In this Plugged In Splice's Devon Johnson ‪@dontgodcj‬ finds out — and the results speak for themselves.

The Telepathic Orchid, co-created by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, is a chord-generating synthesizer designed to help producers and songwriters find musical ideas fast — without needing deep music theory knowledge or traditional keyboard technique. Paired with Splice INSTRUMENT, it becomes something even more powerful: a way to explore sounds and progressions at the same time, in the same session.

In this video, Devon unboxes and demos the Telepathic Orchid and its various creative uses and incredibly chord generating technology. He then uses the Orchid's chord logic system as a MIDI controller to trigger sounds inside Splice INSTRUMENT, building a full beat from scratch and showing exactly how the two tools work together in a real production workflow. From dialing in chord voicings and inversions on the Orchid to flipping through Splice's instrument sounds in real time, this is hands-on and unfiltered — no templates, no pre-built loops, just the tools doing what they're built to do.

Whether you're already a Splice user curious about the Orchid, an Orchid owner wondering how to integrate it into your DAW setup, or just a producer looking for a new way to create new chord patterns — this one's worth watching all the way through.

Audio Damage Releases Traverse Lo-Fi Tape Effect

via Audio Damage

"Traverse is a lo-fi tape effect and stereo delay in one plugin. The cassette side runs a hysteresis-modeled tape engine with Drive, Wow, Flutter, and a tilt-EQ Tone control. The delay side does what delays do — Time, Feedback, Width, sync, ping-pong. A Post-Delay routing toggle lets you swap their order, so you can use it as either a tape-flavored delay or a cassette effect with a delay built in.

Layered on top: a four-control splice system for procedural dropouts, and a procedural noise generator with nine styles — Hiss, Crackle, Dust, Fan Rumble, 60Hz Hum, 50Hz Hum, White, Pink, and the Califone Card Reader. The noise routes into the cassette path, so whatever else you've dialed in shapes it on the way out.

This is the third entry in our Motion Effects family, alongside Ascent and Descent. Same as the rest of our catalog: Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS. No DRM, no subscriptions, no dongles, perpetual license."

midiphy zetaSID: bassline engine (new firmware v1.5)

video upload by midiphy

"Introducing bassline engine: integrated, stereo-linked 303-style sequencing for zetaSID. Two modules on bass, two on percussion, some external FX in the chain.

What's in the patch:
two zetaSIDs linked via phybus carry the stereo bassline
patterns are switched live from the user interface. Sync To Measure stays active, so every pattern change lands cleanly on the next bar. The zetaSIDs stay step-locked across the polychain throughout
the joystick is spliced into LFO1 for hands-on modulation in real time
the fader is spliced into filter cutoff and forwarded to all zetaSIDs: live SID filter sweeps, no menus
two more zetaSIDs run the drums, triggered by gates from the modular, no MIDI used

What's new in firmware v1.5:
zetaSID bassline engine: 303-style 16-step sequencer, eight patterns per channel, per-step note / octave / gate / slide / accent / one freely assignable parameter, two LFOs and an additional envelope with curvature
three new input sockets per module: SEQ STEP, SEQ RESET, SEQ PATTERN. Splice them through phybus and your modular drives the sequencer directly with clocks, sequence reset triggers and pattern select CVs
pair two zetaSIDs over phybus for a true stereo bassline patch that stays step-locked
non-bassline feature: individual instrument attenuation for drum engine
non-bassline feature: 180° screen rotation support (mount your zetas upside-down, if you want :-))

ETCHES | Soundscape Palette by Puremagnetik

video upload by Puremagnetik


via Puremagnetik

"Etches is a layered soundscape synthesizer. It's a palette for playing with sound, sketching melodic sections and building evolving tapestries. It moves between cinematic washes, percussive pizzicatos, and atmospheres worn smooth through ambient processing.

Inspired by live modular techniques, Etches is built upon classic synthesis and tape music traditions. Etches’s main engine includes a complex oscillator, a splice recorder and built in space processing.

We designed Etches to be performed. Every control is on the surface, and every gesture is audible the moment you make it. There are no traditional envelopes or filters here. You shape the timbre as you play.

Pick a root note and choose from twelve scales and modes and the pads stay locked to that key while you move. It's hard to play a wrong note, which means you can focus on phrasing instead of finger positions.

At the center is a monophonic voice generator and a splice recorder with overdub, so you can layer sounds into something bigger than individual patches. An internal LFO moves against each splice, modulating where the recording starts and ends. It's a behavior we first used in our LAPS and JOTS pedals. Around all of that: a tape-style delay, and a stereo space processor you can get lost in.

Etches Features:
• Four articulation pads that control contour, timbre-shaping and animation
• Musical overdrive with soft clipping
• 80-second multi-splice recorder for capturing ideas and layering sounds
• Stereo space processor with tape-style delay and a pristine reverb.
• Stereo output
• Runs on a standard Boss-style 9V power supply"

Creating wavetables and Morphagene reels with Gemini 3 and Google Colab.

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"When I asked Gemini 3 if it could create wavetables, a new world opened up. Now, I am aware it's about artificial intelligence taking over the wonderful job of creating wavetables by hand (64 cycles of 256 bytes) I'd rather make music and noise with them. In this workflow, you'd describe what kind of 'morph' or 'animation' you'd want, and Gemini 3 would write the code in the Python programming language.

Next question is obviously: how do I run it because we don't want code, we want a WAV file in WaveEdit format. It turned out to be just a matter of pasting the code in Google's Co-laboratory (COLAB) environment and press 'play'. Then COLAB would run the code and output a .WAV with a pre-coded descriptive name. So next is to install them on your VCO of choice, which hopefully has an SD card or USB 'disk mode'.

But then the real fun begins. You can also ask Gemini 3 to code a 48K/32 bit Morphagene reel with a splice marker for every wave. These waves can be much longer, much more complex, and they can be stereo. You can create wobbles, sweeps, morphs, ticks, hiss, grains, anything. And then you can take your files to the modular, disconnect from the internet and lock the doors."

Smart Wavesplicing for Creative & Unique Tones & Modulation // 3 Patches with SW3 Splice from DPW

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the new SW3 Splice module from DPW Design. It's a smart zero crossing and zero difference dual switch module ... a mouthful maybe, but it's two channels of intelligent switching for audio or CV with simple to use options for anything from making mutes, manual gates, click free audio switching, modulation waveform chaining and a whole host more.

This is a '3 Patches' series video, where we distill things down to just 3 patches, but I've added in some bonus bits where I wanted to change up something in the patch to explore how the module performs with other sources. Check out the patches below."

"Wavesplicing made simple. It works both with audio and control signals or a mix of those.

The SW3 is a module to splice (switch) any signal together with something else click free at up to high audio rate. A tool for audio and CV experiments. A way to expand what you already have into new sonic and control roams.

It can be dual mono, stereo coupled or switching mono into stereo for big stereo fields."

Additional Signal Sounds listings

"Manufacturer's description

MiniBrute 2 has evolved from the legendary monosynth that revolutionized the analog scene with its mixable waveforms, Steiner-Parker filter, and Brute Factor. Now with semi-modular architecture, you can splice its genome and expand its raw power into the world of Eurorack modular. From the earliest electronic instruments, synthesizers have expanded and enhanced the possibilities available to musicians. We decided not only to apply this mantra to the sound of our new instrument, but to synthesizer itself. MiniBrute 2 was born! A synthesizer that would sound huge and yet be compact, self-contained and versatile. An instrument that would be both comprehensive and evolving.

The MiniBrute 2 has nothing to hide. Take a look at its front panel, get yourself acquainted. You’ll notice the now-iconic Brute oscillators, the acidic Steiner-Parker filter, and the mayhem-inducing Brute Factor knob that has become the signature Arturia synth element for many fans.

Looking a bit further, beyond the usual modulation sources and controls, you’ll notice some exciting, unexpected features: a second VCO; a second LFO; new VCO and Filter frequency modulation possibilities; modifier-related modulation destinations; a brand new, loopable AD envelope. Once tamed, this little beast will reveal the full range of its vocalizations, including raging leads and piercing sequences, as well as smooth pads and purring bass."

Intellijel MultiGrain |The Grainmakers Playlist | Episode 14

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I did not expect this playlist to grow with yet another grainmaker. I am quite happy with the ones I already have and my Intellijel stealth case is already completely full. So when you already have plenty of options and no room, what better excuse is there to just get it? So here we are.

I can't just objectively use MultiGrain on its own, without considering the alternatives and Arbhar as a reference module. Is it even fair to compare it with what's already around? I think so. Objectively, MultiGrain covers a lot of ground. It's versatile and musical, but it can also do microsound adventures. However, I had to go back and forth between manual and module to find out how typical granular techniques are implemented. For instance, there's no spray, no panning, no dubbing, etc, etc. Well, it's there, but it's implemented in a completely different way. If you're familiar with granular synthesis, MultiGrain is simply not intuitive to use, even though the user interface is amazing. If you want a spray, you'll need to randomize start and length. If you want panning, you'll need to randomize level and tone. Need a threshold to start your recording? You'll need to go to the advanced sampling page which complements the main and ALT pages.

Still, MultiGrain is in my favorite top 3, but Arbhar and Morphagene are 1 and 2 respectively. I think Arbhar is more suited for musical adventures, and the Morph still wins when it comes down to splicing virtual tape and making weird sounds. MultiGrain provides a lot of both, but it will take time and patience to find what you're looking for.

I hope Intellijel will listen to their end users and work on firmware updates to streamline the experience. It would be great to splice a drum loop over the eight sounds using transient detection. It would be great if two or more sounds could play together, and it should be able to dub over a sound to make layers. MultiGrain has the potential to become the best granular module in eurorack, but not today. Not yet."

#StarDust by Qu-Bit | #Frippertronics revived

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"First of all, this is not a 'new gear review' videos. I don't do those. I don't get free modules from manufacturers to make a video and I already have tons of loopers in my collection (Morhpagene, Lubadh, etc), so why did I add StarDust? For me, the main reason is Frippertronics. It's an analog vintage tape technique developed by Brian Eno and Robert Fripp using one set of reels on two tape decks. So one records the second deck and the second is recorded by the first deck. Instead of a tape delay, you'd get a tape looper with endless overdubbing.

For me, personally, the sound of Robert Fripp's guitar immediately reminds me of Bowie's Heroes and Scary Monsters (listen to the 'Fashion' track if you don't know it). He's one of my Guitar Gods (Brian May, Fripp, The Edge, Manzanera, Eddie van Halen, and the list is not going on forever) but Fripp always gives me goosebumps because if his sustained sounds and textures. This video is definitely a tribute to Mr. Fripp so suit up!

StarDust is a great looper and it really fits my creative workflow (which is usually borrowed from the musicians I adore). I love to noodle on my Manzanera-inspired Firebird guitar, tuned to Fripp's New Standard Tuning of mostly fifths and one third on the high note to avoid snapping. I can't play, so for me it's a VCO with six strings.

How does it compare to the other major loopers? Well, Lubadh is dual mono which can be used for stereo too. It's great to have two reels that can run in opposite directions and it has an amazing tape emulation. Magneto is primarily a tape echo, but it can also loop as a tape machine and it has a spring reverb emulation (sure it's digital). If you're looking for a vintage tape echo with classic feedback, look no further. The Morphagene is a tape splicer where you have full control over splice points (cuts) and it can store many reels on SD card. It's also excellent for microsound explorations and fragment mangling. It can play three splices at once, with different note distributions (set on SD card). However, Morphagene is 'terrible' in retaining original pitch (green zone) and doesn't track V/OCT very well. You can set V/OCT support on the SD card, but you'd still need to dial in the correct varispeed and finetune. Most Morphagene users probably don't care about keeping in line. They just want to make noise.

BitBox MK2 is the T-REX of loopers which can loop 16 stereo loops at once, so you can use it as a true Loopstation. It can also detect or set splices, do granular stuff, time stretching, make multi-sample libraries and play samples polyphonically. There's simply nothing better, not even an ER-301. Did I miss one? Yes, the ADDAC 112 is also a great looper, but it's HUGE and the manual doesn't end.

If you're into live looping with built in FX, StarDust may be one of the best 'all in one solution' in Eurorack today. There are lots of shift-features, but you'll only need to remember a few of them. If you don't like the 'galaxy LED show', you may have lost the Child in your eyes."
