Audiothingies Release MicroMonsta 2 Firmware 3

video upload by audiothingies

Here's what's new:

🎛️ Scale Mode — You asked, we listened!

No more sudden parameter jumps when turning the knobs. Scale Mode is now enabled by default, making parameter adjustments much smoother.

🎹 Redesigned Scaler & Chorder

Explore 21 scales and 63 chord types, assign different chords to individual notes within a scale, and even use these features with your external MIDI keyboard.

✨ Polyphonic Aftertouch

Bring more expression to your performances with compatible MIDI controllers.

🔥 New 16-Step Arpeggiator Modulation Sequence

Add rhythmic movement to your sounds with a dedicated modulation sequence synchronized to the arpeggiator.

🔊 More Modulation, More Sound-Shaping Possibilities

The modulation matrix now offers 12 slots, with new destinations for delay, reverb, envelope sustain, and more.

We've also updated the filter response and soft clipping algorithm.

landhanger #20 // False Memories (GS Music Bree6 & Dreadbox Artemis) #dawless

video upload by landhanger

"Laidback jam with some new additions to my setup. GS Music Bree 6 (with Empress Zoia for effects) for that analog warmth (this synth is amazing!). It pairs very well with the more experimental sound of the Dreadbox Artemis. Also integrated the Endorphin.es Golden Master pedal for end-of-chain processing. This pedal makes such a huge difference ( no post-processing is done)!

Kloob - Terminal Hub

"An exploration of industrial decay and fading power grids. 'Terminal Hum' blends expansive, low-frequency drones with cold, static textures, soundtracking the bleak symmetry of cooling towers and overcast skies. Recorded as a live hardware performance.

Gear used:

"Experimenting with the new Dreadbox Artemis 1.2 firmware. Made a quick patch with the new mod-matrix and BBD Playground- effect (and updated Cloud-Reverb). You can really hear how massive of an impact these effects have on sounddesign with this synth.

Also tried to film with two camera-angles.
Hope you like it, thanks again for listening!

The Delay - TC Flashback Triple, Oberheim OB-6, TRex Replicator, Strymon Cloudburst, Ibanez M80M

video upload by thesrabbit

"I was gonna call this "Lords of O'Brien No. 1", as a tribute to the greatest ambient guitar Youtuber, ‪@chordsoforion‬ But I opted for a less facetious and more utilitarian name. That way I can shamelessly shove the highlighted gear list in the title.

I got a TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay recently and holy crap, instant inspiration. A bit of fiddling with the Toneprint editor and I had my 3 stacked delays for the main simulated Frippertronics tape loop. Then I said, well hell, I already have a TC Flashback II, might as well Toneprint a Frippertronics tape loop delay in that box too. So the OB-6 gets the Flashback II, and the guitar gets the Flashback Triple. I made a 4 step polyphonic sequence for the OB-6. The little Roland DP-2 switch cycles through each step. The Tonex hosts a capture of my own Peavey 6505 amp, clean channel with pre-gain at 6. There's a little (ok a lot) of Strymon Cloudburst at the end for the final chef's kiss.

Too much gear and too many parallel signal chains to list, but deep breath here we go...

Guitar: Ibanez M80M (8-string), IK Multimedia Tonex, Guptech Honker overdrive, Morley Little Alligator volume pedal, TRex Replicator tape delay eurorack module (somehow works fine at instrument level), Two Notes Torpedo Captor M+ with Ownhammer 412 Rect Balanced Cab IR, TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay (delay 2 is the tape loop), Strymon Cloudburst Reverb

Synth: Oberheim OB-6, TC Electronic Flashback 2 (tape loop), Audiothingies Doctor A (stereo delay and reverb)

Guitar Synth: Boss SY-300, Strymon Cloudburst Reverb (plugin)

MIDI Mod for iOS adds random delay time shifts to the TRex Replicator via a Kenton MIDI to CV box.

Recorded live, first take! (can't f'ing believe it)

No post processing other than a little bit of the Strymon Cloudburst plugin for the final "glue"

Patch Memory #5: Micromonsta 2: one synth voice as a complete drum kit

video upload by djr brunstein

"Using one voice of an Audiothingies Micromonsta 2 to build a pseudo drum voice. Sorry for the vaguely rage-baity thumbnail - obviously this synth won't replace any of those drum machines but a man has to find his clicks somewhere!

In the video I say that the synth is in stock- unfortunately it went out of stock whilst I was editing. You can sign up to the waitlist here: https://www.audiothingies.com/"

"My favorite sounds of the Audiothingies Micromonsta 2 in real song clips from my tracks.
Micromonsta 2 in real use: pads, plucks, basses + arpeggiator lines — no talk, just sound.

"Like new Audiothingies Micromonsta 2, bought in 2023. Includes the synth and original orange 3.5mm to MIDI adapter (I just forgot to take a pic of it...)

You'll need a standard USB A to B cable to power it up either from a computer or a USB power supply.

Really fun little synth! You can dive deep in this thing..."

The Beauty of Two Vermona Perfourmers - Deluge in Action #13

video upload by Krzysztof Steplowski

"🎹 Listen to the 8-voice Vermona Perfourmer! This time a simple improvisation, not a proper track.

🎹 Check my patches for synths: https://synth-patches.com/

👉 In this video I present an improvisation using two Vermona Performers chained together. Instead of two four-voice synths, I've got a single, eight-voice, polyphonic analogue beast.

👉 Both synthesizers are connected via a ‪@Bome‬ Box – this small device can distribute MIDI messages sent via a single channel to any number of MIDI channels. In this case, the Bome Box distributes each received note to eight additional MIDI channels, which I send to both synthesizers via a Midi Splitter (Banana Split in this case).

👉 All I need is a very simple motif based on a single pattern in Deluge. By playing with individual oscillators, I can introduce additional variations to that motif. Then, all that's left is to play with the effect—in this case, ‪@audiothingies‬ Doctor A."

06.17.2025 Man Machine for fun

video upload by batchas

"Music as therapy...
As usual I'm recording directly to one stereo track and I noticed while watching the video that the Minimoog is too loud (still I love its sound!) and the 808 bass drum a bit too low, but as I currently want to spend as less time as possible on the same project, I won't record another take and I'll move on to something different.

Sounds: Mos-Lab 2500, muSonics Minimoog, Roland Juno 60, Waldorf Q, Waldorf Pulse +, Oberheim Matrix 1000, Roland TR-808, Ace Tone Rhythm Ace.
Effect: Eventide H9, Hologram Microcosm, Audiothingies Doctor A."

video upload by jtn.project

"Things are getting interesting! 1010Music released Ver 1.0.27Beta, and boy does it rip!

From their forum:
'We are pleased to make available a beta of bento available to you. It includes several new features:
Scenes. You can now group launch a sequence or loop on each track. Use the pads on the SONG screen to launch them
Song Mode. Prepare up to 8 scenes, play them sequentially, and repeat them as you go
External Tracks. Hook up an external synth or drum machine and use the bento to sequence and mix the audio. You can even apply effects to the audio input. (We combined the idea of an Audio and MIDI track into a single track type.)
Copy and Paste. Easily duplicate sequences and scenes
More sequences. Each track can now have up to 8 sequences
Pad based launching. On the LAUNCH screen you can now use the pads to switch between sequences and loops
Improved Pad Performance. New approach is more resistant to double hits
Battery Charging Indicator. Get visual feedback on whether or not the unit is plugged in and charging.
Swing Amount. Make your groove really sing'

I am so excited to see what I can come up with now. Bento keeps on surprising me.
