"A late-night live session built from quiet Moog One “letters” and expanded into full transmissions from the Numbers Station.

Intimate signals becoming larger worlds.

This set blends new single-synth fragments with expanded pieces from the Numbers Station universe – recorded live, unhurried, and allowed to breathe.

No countdown. No urgency. Just signal.

ASM Leviasynth | Sounds and Key Features | Synth Universe

video upload by Synth Universe

"A musical exploration of Leviasynth, Ashun Sound Machines’ successor to the Hydrasynth. Leviasynth is an 8 oscillator algorithmic synthesizer with analog and digital filters and five types of synthesis.

All the sounds featured in this video were created by me and are included in the Leviasynth factory presets (except Synfluctuate and PD keys which may be released by ASM as part of future banks). If you own or try out a Leviasynth, you can browse patches by sound designer and select Synth Universe to find all my sounds. Here I have often emphasized sounds that make use of the analog filter, showing the ability of Leviasynth to emulate analog synths, as this is one of the first things I want to know when assessing a hybrid synth. I also feature patches that highlight the other types of synthesis including FM and phase distortion.

This is a deep and powerful ‘monster’ of a synth and so far I have really only scratched the surface of its capabilities. There are too many features to list here so go to Ashun Sound Machines website to find out more.

Disclaimer: ASM sent me a pre-production unit for the purposes of sound design, but otherwise they had no input into the making of this video or the opinions expressed within.

No external enhancement or processing was applied to the sounds in this video: you are hearing them as output directly from the synth.

Note: Leviasynth does have a powerful arpeggiator and sequencer, but as they were still being finalized during the time I created these patches they are not featured in this video."

Tangible Waves Mini Drone System demo

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by NOISEBUG

"This week we are restocking the full line of Tangible Waves, the small but mighty modular format equally powerful to its much larger counterparts.
Some incredibly unique modules exist within the Tangible Waves universe, such as the the Drone38- a bank of 18 oscillators designed for swarms, drones and lush soundscapes.
We designed a mini system around the DRONE38, which is now available on our Reverb shop - https://reverb.com/item/94056769-tang...

Look out for more mini-modular systems and video spotlights in the very near future. For more info on the most affordable way to experience modular, contact Noisebug.

#synth #modularsynth #tangiblewaves"

via this listing

"A small but powerful drone system of Tangible Waves modules, including:

POWER - the most simple base of an AE modular system. Contains the voltage regulation (5V) for the power supply of the modules, two stereo In/out-sockets (3.5mm minijack) for audio out and general in/out like CV, gate, a stereo headphone amplifier

DRONE38 - a sound generator with 18 oscillators in total, organized in six groups of three oscillators each. 12 of them can be switched between sawtooth and triangle waves, 6 are fixed sawtooth oscillators. The oscillators are not meant to be controlled by CVs, but only set static with a knob. By mixing them, very dense drones and clusters can be created.

DRONX - a special mixer designed especially for the DRONE38 module; it has 6 input channels with sound processing capabilities: a tone control with bass and treble control, a distortion, and finally a dual delay with different algorithms.

2VCA - contains two separate voltage controlled amplifiers; the classic module to shape the volume of a sound that is fed to IN by a control voltage, e.g. from an ENV to the CV input. DC/CV or audio operation modes, an additional knob per VCA for attenuation.​

SVFILTER - offers control of cutoff frequency, resonance and CV attenuation; two signal inputs for different signal levels control the "drive" of the module. This filter has a significant self resonance and also a very quick response to cutofffrequency changes. LP, BP, and HP output.

LFO (2x) - generates modulation voltages mostly below the audio range. PWM modulation for the Pulse out, two frequency ranges (SLOW / FAST), three separate output signals: Square (even duty cycle), TRIANGLE/Sawtooth (switchable), Pulse

NOISE - two types of noise with A output generating analog noise (a fluctuating voltage between about 1-4V) and D output generating digital noise, (a random changing 0V / 5V). The RATE knob controls the color of the noise, which goes from almost white noise to a rather harsh and digital sound.​

2S&H - "freezes" the input voltage with a trigger input. Typically used for random CV patterns if a noise signal is fed to the input and triggered e.g. by an LFO.

2ATT/CV - simple level attenuation for any kind of signal. Voltage mode switch gives manually controllable CV on the outputs, the INV outputs provide the inverted value of the input.

System is pre-built into a 1x16 Bamboo case and includes switchable 9V PSU, 2 packs of patchwire, and 1 pack of colored knobs."

Error Instruments Introduces Das Ritual Candle Flame Synth Noise Generator

video upload by errorinstruments paul tas



"✨ The Ritual — Let the Flame Speak ✨ The Ritual is not just an instrument. It is a presence — a small, mysterious machine that invites sound, light, and spirit to merge into one living moment. At its core, The Ritual offers two elemental voices: a warm, crackling texture like burning wood, and a deep, sub-harmonic bass that vibrates through the body. Two outputs, two energies, both ready to shape the atmosphere of your space. But the true magic lies in the heart of the machine. In the center burns a candle. Three light-sensitive sensors observe the living flame — every flicker, every breath of air, every tiny movement of light. The flame becomes the conductor, shaping rhythm, modulation, and tone. It decides the pulse. It guides the sound. It becomes an oracle of vibration. With control voltage input, three intuitive potentiometers, and full compatibility with stand-alone setups, pedal chains, and Eurorack systems, The Ritual integrates effortlessly into any sonic temple you create. Add a touch of delay, let the harmonics bloom, and suddenly the sound becomes something else — psychedelic, hypnotic, deeply alive. A soundscape where chaos becomes beauty, and the smallest movement of fire transforms the entire universe of tone. Hand-crafted by Error Instruments, built in rugged Bricky format, The Ritual invites you to surrender your control and let the flame speak. Light the candle. Start The Ritual. Let the fire shape your sound"

"Listed as 'modular' - but it's a semi-modular, 4-voice paraphonic synth, or mono synth, with on-board effects (reverb, delays, phaser, flanger, chorus), internal sequencer and interpolator (innovative design where sequencing can combine morphing of the oscillators, filter, LFO and envelopes), with patch memories. Very useful multi-mode filter (LP, BP, HP), with digital and analogue filter circuits. Good connectivity including midi (front and rear) for this to be the centre of your modular universe.....and it sounds wonderful and is built like a tank. Version 2 firmware with version 1 livery. This is the more expensive desktop version which can be rehoused in a eurorack case by simply disconnecting from the internal power bus and removing from the case. The case does however provide benefits for connectivity, e.g., the 1/4 inch jack inputs to run any external signal (mono or stereo) via the effects section. A future classic?"

Soul Of the Machine: A Celebration of the Life & Legacy of ARP founder Alan R. Pearlman

via the Alan R Pearlman Foundation

Available on Bandcamp here

Press release follows:

Kingston, NY— In 2025, the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation celebrates the centennial of its namesake, the electronic visionary whose marvelous ARP synthesizers changed the landscape of music forever. As part of the ongoing celebrations, the Foundation is announcing the release of Soul Of The Machine, a 36-track musical celebration of the man and his creations as interpreted by a diverse range of recording artists.

Soul Of The Machine is a 36-track collection of tracks old and new, covering everything from innovative electronic, dance, and space music to jazz, funk, and Latin pop, all featuring the signature sounds of classic ARP instruments. The collection includes everything from ARP’s first synthesizer — the massively powerful ARP 2500 modular system — to the instruments that rewrote the rules on how electronics and music came together. The 2600, Odyssey, Pro Soloist, Omni, and many more ARP instruments sing, cry, scream, and soar, in the hands of musical talents both legends and newcomers.

Soul Of The Machine is a treasure trove of musical exploration. Martin Gore’s “KIno" combines Depeche Mode’s signature rhythmic power with a uniquely lyrical and sweet atmosphere. “Mr. No” is a celebration of the classic proto-techno sound of John Foxx. Award-winning soundtrack composer Mark Isham showcases his signature pulsating energy and evocative moodscapes in the mini-suite “Musings – in Two Parts”. Lisa Bella Donna takes listeners on a journey into timeless wonder in the epic “Conclusions.” JG Thirlwell’s “Sphere” is a synth freakout ricocheting between ominous sci-fi atmospheres and searing beats. Panic Girl offers "Drifting Whispers," a somber and uplifting neo-retro journey into a past that never was.

Other artists on the collection include Michael Brückner, Phil Cirocco, Rupert Greenall, LaMar "Kronick" Mitchell, Jeff Rona, Drew Schlesinger & David Torn, Don Slepian, and many others, as well as tracks by the collection's curators Steve Roach and Chris Meyer of Alias Zone.

Famed ambient / electronic pioneer and ARP user since 1978, Steve Roach shares his thoughts on Soul Of The Machine: "In 2024 I had the honor of meeting Dina Pearlman-Ifil — the director of the Alan R Pearlman Foundation — in person. Over the course of several phone conversations we discussed ways to celebrate the centennial year of her father's life and his place in history. My idea for a compilation of music using her father’s creations grew out of those conversations, presenting a perfect way to directly experience the vast range of music that was birthed by the family of ARP synthesizers. This compilation is just a small taste of the universe Alan inspired in sound explorers and artists across a vast range of genres."

Steve mapped out the music so that CD 1 represents a sonic journey and CD 2 provides a showcase of the depth and breadth of what ARP synths can do. After both CDs were finalized, there were more tracks than room on the CDs. These additional songs are available as a bonus digital supplement to the physical CD set.

Says Dina Pearlman-Ifil: “I have long-dreamed of a multi-genre collection that would illustrate the depth and breadth of the possibilities of my father's instruments. This collection is the embodiment of what my father treasured most: The creative spirit. As the old ARP tagline used to say: ‘The most creative part of an ARP Synthesizer is you.’”

The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation is dedicated to the empowerment of young and burgeoning artists into the future. When we look at classical instruments born hundreds of years ago, we see that Alan Pearlman's synthesizers stand tall, earning their place in the evolution of musical history. Acoustic or electric, their common ground is the enduring inspiration for creativity and sonic innovation that inspires the hearts and minds of musicians, performers, and sound explorers worldwide.

Soul Of The Machine will be available for streaming on October 17, 2025. The special limited edition CD will be available for purchase in early-to-mid-November.

Proceeds go the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation

The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
Our mission is to celebrate the legacy of inventor, musician, entrepreneur and engineer Alan R. Pearlman, by making his innovative inventions publicly accessible, and by inspiring future generations to imagine and create.

Sublime Wavelengths: The Cosmic Bliss of FM Synthesis

You might remember Clan Analogue Accepting Contributions for Upcoming FM Synthesis Compilation Album from back in July of 2024.

Nick Wilson of Clan Analogue in Australia wrote in to let us know he is excited to report that they have finally released the album!

Additional details via the release on Bandcamp:

Q1. What is FM synthesis?
A1. The cheesy sounds of mid-80s pop music
A2. A technique enabling sound designers to tap into the underlying mathematical structures of the Universe
Q2. Can both of these be true?

Australia’s pioneering electronic music collective Clan Analogue explore these important questions with their dazzling new release - Sublime Wavelengths: The Cosmic Bliss of FM Synthesis. This compilation takes listeners on a journey through the shimmering tones, intricate modulations, and futuristic landscapes of FM synthesis. Sublime Wavelengths is a celebration of the iconic synthesis method of frequency modulation which revolutionised sound design in the 1980s and defined an era of electronic music.

The artists on Sublime Wavelengths explore FM synthesis in all its manifestations. Jacek Tuschewski and Darrow explore the transcendant qualities of frequency modulation with their expansive contributions, while KOshowKO and Boris Divjak each embrace driving rhythmic and melodic possibilities with their cosmic melding of digital precision and human expression. Meanwhile experimental harpist Kris Keogh pushes sonic transformation to the limit with a mutated strain of crushed and squished FM processing while Sussiguala creates an unrelenting rhythmic structure pulsing with dubbed-out sine wave modulation. The technology employed from the artists’ studios ranges from the classic 1980s Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, heard on contributions from Infinity Deck and BluNjin, to the newest hardware, VST synths and coding environments, such as those used by Acidalius and Marcus Newman. Sublime Wavelengths doesn’t neglect the party vibe of 80s-flavoured pop, with celebratory grooving contributions from Swinging Tasty Bag and Just the Tip-pet. The compilation culminates with the high energy sounds of Mr Rachele before dissipating into hypnotic closing tracks by Intermodd and Cylan.

The album reflects the collective spirit of experimentation that Clan Analogue has nurtured since the early ‘90s, while embracing the retro-futurist charm and crystalline complexity that FM synthesis offers. Whether you’re a synth enthusiast, an electronic music aficionado, or simply a listener ready for a sonic adventure, Sublime Wavelengths invites you to tune into a higher frequency.

Sublime Wavelengths is dedicated to the memory of Jacek Tuschewski who passed away prior to the release of the compilation.
