Viscount Legend '70s MKII modular stage pianos take a genuinely original approach to the instrument category, allowing players to build and expand their sound engine over time by installing modules directly into the front panel. At its core is a dual-DSP main circuit, giving each installed module ample headroom for rich, detailed sound generation. The Artist-W is aimed at pianists who want an 88-key acoustic grand piano-style action; it ships with the A. Piano 2G module installed and four empty slots ready for expansion. The 73-key Compact is built for keyboardists whose focus is electric pianos, synths, and vintage keyboards, with the E. Piano module installed and three expansion slots available. Designed and built in Italy, Legend '70s MKII is for players who want a professional-grade foundation with room to grow.

Cinematic soundscape | Vhikk X, PlayFader, Qu-Bit modules, and more

A melodic and ambient performance, live with a eurorack case.

Fair warning: Play All Day sent the PlayFader over for free for me to try. There was no explicit discussion of a deal beyond that. Take that as you will. I will say that it's an extremely nice-feeling piece of gear, much heavier and sturdier than I'd expected. Its idea is quite limited—just two mono sequencers, and limited to 64 steps (though you can set it to unusual step counts)—but I can imagine it as a fun controller to complement a setup with a more traditional sequencer. For me, its use will be limited, as I tend to like unusual sequence lengths for the mono synths over top of standard sequences. But I like the feel of the hardware so much that I'm looking for more excuses to use it.

Beyond that, this was an excuse to put together a case with a lot of sound-shaping potential. Vhikk X was doing bass drone, Eowave Domino was the melody / lead synth, and Rample Turbo was playing some samples that I think were kalimba. But the Qu-Bit modules—Stardust for a separate tape reel, Nautilus on delay for Domino, and Mojave on granular for the Rample Turbo—radically transformed the sound. Those Qu-Bit modules are really growing on me: each unit does way more than you'd expect, with Stardust having filter/tape effects/reverb/bitcrushing/glitch, Nautilus having delay/reverb/saturation, and Mojave having granular/reverb; and each unit is decently sized so that they're easy to play.

Altogether this created a sort of sonic landscape that I couldn't have achieved through exploration in another setup. That's the joy of eurorack.

Thanks for listening.

Performed and recorded live, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

DIY Polyphonic Desktop Analog Synthesizer Demo

video upload by Chris Synths

"Hi all! This is a (no-talking) demo of a DIY 6-voice desktop analog synthesizer I have been working on.

The hardware of each voice features two SSI 2131 VCOs, an SSI 2144 filter, a high pass filter, a wave folder, and ring mod.

All voice circuitry was made with SSI chips, op-amps, OTAs, and discrete components.

There is one effect, an 8-stage analog phaser.

There is an ST microcontroller for MIDI, voice control, display driving, front panel scanning, etc. Control voltages are produced by a DAC80501, as well as by the ST."

MINDBURNER MIDI | REVIVE Quad MIDI LFO

No audio in this one.

REVIVE — QUAD LFO MIDI CC GENERATOR

4 Independent LFOs • Encoder Control • Hand-Built in Northern Ireland

Free-running or MIDI clock-synced — pair with any clock source for tempo-locked sweeps

WHAT DOES IT DO?

REVIVE is a standalone 4-LFO MIDI CC generator. Each of its four LFOs runs completely independently — its own waveform, speed, depth, MIDI channel, CC number and output routing — sending smooth, evolving modulation to your synths, effects and modular gear over regular 5-pin DIN MIDI.

Run each LFO free at its own rate — from fast vibrato-speed wobble right down to a genuinely glacial ~8-minute sweep — or lock it to incoming MIDI clock for tempo-synced modulation. Store up to 8 complete 4-LFO patches on board, and switch anytime between a full-screen icon/dial view or a classic text readout, whichever you prefer to work in.

FEATURES

4 independent LFOs — sine, triangle, inverted triangle, saw up/down, square, sample & hold

Free-running (0.002–20Hz) or clock-synced (1/32 note to 4 bars)

Full MIDI thru — merges notes, clock and CC without interrupting your chain

Single rotary encoder navigation — fast, tactile, one-handed editing

8 onboard save slots with custom naming

MIDI Learn — grab channel/CC straight from a controller

Flexible output routing — any single output, adjacent pairs, all 4, or muted per LFO

Global mute — one press silences all 4 outputs instantly for live use

DIY Eurorack Modules: Tin Man Synths - Music China 2026

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Andrew from Tin Man Synths about his range of DIY Eurorack Modules, a set of simple through-hole designs built around accessible analogue and digital circuits.

The context was China's DIY synth scene, where importing synth brands and beginner kits can be difficult or expensive. Tin Man Synths focuses partly on making local DIY resources more available, alongside carrying other brands.

The range includes a transposing sequencer, which allows one sequence to transpose another, and clocking the two parts out of sync creates a longer rolling pattern of 32 to 64 steps. Other modules include dual attack-release envelopes, a side-chain VCA, matrix mixer, output stages, a semitone voltage-offset processor, the Radius 2164-based filter, voltage-controlled slew, a 40106 VCO, a voltage-controlled LFO, and Daisy Seed-based delay and granular effects.

The modules use through-hole construction, with bare PCBs around $10 and full kits around 400–500 RMB, or roughly $50–60.

Availability is currently mainly China and Southeast Asia."

M-VAVE FM-1 with KARMA firmware: four tracks, stems and MIDI into Ableton

video upload by SLEAZTEK

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"And Karma is out… I can’t wait to see what you’re all gonna do with it.

"KARMA is free, open-source firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1. It turns the FM-1 into a four-track groovebox: an acid bass or a Juno-style polysynth, physical modelling, two dozen synthesis models and a drum synth, with a 64-step sequencer, song mode, generators that write parts on one chord plan, and a pixel cast that reacts to every note.
Everything you hear in this video was played on the FM-1 and recorded straight into Ableton Live over one USB cable: six separate stems, the MIDI of every track, and the FM-1 following Ableton's clock and play button.
Install it from your browser in about a minute (Chrome or Edge, a USB data cable), try it first in the browser simulator, or edit your sounds and back up your projects with the web editor:
https://eatyourgreensstudio-dotcom.gi...

Source code (GPL-3.0): https://github.com/eatyourgreensstudi...

KARMA is built on the work of the FM-1 open-source community: SLOOP by isod89, Felucca by Hügelton Instruments, and code from X0X, FM-106, Melodee, JIANT FM and Mutable Instruments' open-source modules. Full credits are on the website. Not affiliated with M-VAVE.

Additional notes from the developer:

"It turns the FM-1 into a four-track groovebox:

- Track 1: an acid bass or a Juno-style polysynth

- Track 2: physical modelling, built on Émilie Gillet's open-source Elements (Mutable Instruments): strike, pluck, bow or blow a resonator

Syntheus 1001: a double-suitcase full of vintage modular synthesis

video upload by manmade madman

"If you could pack everything you ever wanted into a modular synth, and then put it in a suitcase, chances are it would reference the EMS Synthi AKS/VCS from the 1970's. Recently companies have released hardware editions that sound glorious. There's even a monster ultimate reissue called Analogue Solutions Colossus which I'm sure sounds incredible. The original was notorious not only for its clean look and capabilities but weird sounds even Brian Eno said "...great for bug noises" but he used it for decades as an effects processor as well. We've taken issue with this... it CAN be musical!

Here we have the ultimate version: 6 free range oscillators, dual patch panels, vintage spring reverb, a joystick that lets you record motion and play it back, and a snapshot sequencer that gives you your sound-per-step, or bug noises if you'd rather! Vintage circuitry all along the way, down to the opamp modelling. You'll hear the crunch and occasional bleeding of the original 70's wiring. Thanks to our db-cell technology, you'll hear a vintage drift everywhere, but well under control. It's not static-- in fact its always surprising and always different, just like the originals.

Best of all, its actually FUN to use. Drop a pin and watch the patch cable show you the connection! Modulate where you couldn't before. EZ rolls in different sections, including the patch matrix. Make sounds, snap them to the clocked sequencer, and get going.

Make vintage inspired sounds from the future that surprise you. Make something musical.

Prove Eno wrong!

https://store.denversynth.com/syntheu..."

SYNTHEUS 1001

An unobtainable synth that’s a double-briefcase full of awesome.

Famously used by a ’70s producer who called it “great for bug noises.” Prove him wrong!

Two EMS Synthi-style synths strapped together in one case: six oscillators, two 16×16 pin matrices, two diode-ladder filter/oscillators, two envelope shapers, a random voltage generator, ring mods, a spring reverb and an octave filter bank. There are no menus to patch. Push a pin into a hole, and the sound goes there. Pull it out, and it stops.

Moog press release follows:


MOOG MUSIC LAUNCHES MODEL 112 AND MODEL 210, AMplifiers Designed for electronic instruments

Two all-analog FRFR systems combine full-range amplification, integrated four-channel mixing, professional connectivity, and expandable stereo operation for synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, and modern performance rigs

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (October 27, 2026) – Moog Music® today announced Model 112 and Model 210, two full-range, flat-response (FRFR) instrument amplifiers purpose-built for synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, and modern electronic performance rigs.

Model 112 combines a portable 12-inch format with 440W RMS bi-amplified power for studios, rehearsals, personal monitoring, and live performance. Model 210 steps up to a 550W RMS, 2.5-way design with dual 10-inch woofer and deeper low frequency extension for larger stages and more demanding performance rigs.

Both models deliver an all-analog amplification path, 4 stereo inputs and an integrated four-channel stereo mixer, balanced PA connectivity, Bluetooth® streaming, headphone monitoring, and Stereo Link for building a two-amplifier stereo system. Together, Model 112 and Model 210 extend Moog's focus on electronic performance from the instrument itself to how it is monitored and heard on stage, in rehearsal, and in the studio.

"Every great electronic instrument has its own sonic identity," said Joe Richardson, President at Moog Music. "Model 112 and Model 210 were designed to preserve that identity, not color it. From the unmistakable warmth of a Moog synthesizer to the transient snap of a drum machine, these amplifiers allow the true character of the instrument to come through. Musicians work hard to shape their sound. They deserve amplification that delivers it honestly, consistently, and exactly as intended."

MODEL 112: everyday Versatility
Model 112 delivers full-range electronic-instrument amplification in a portable format designed to move between studio, rehearsal space, performance, and personal monitoring setups. A 440W RMS bi-amplified system drives a 12-inch woofer and 1-inch compression driver with a frequency response of 40Hz–20kHz. A top carry handle makes Model 112 the more portable choice for musicians who regularly move between creative and performance environments.

MODEL 210: Command the stage
Model 210 is the higher-output system in the range, designed for larger stages and demanding electronic performance rigs. A 550W RMS bi-amplified, 2.5-way design combines a 1-inch compression driver with dual 10-inch woofers, one woofer for full range, the second focusing on low frequencies extending down to 35Hz ensuring powerful response for synthesizer bass, electronic drums, sound design, and bass modeling systems. Full-grip side handles and removable casters support transport and stage position, while two Model 210 amplifiers can be connected using Stereo Link for performance setups.
