"Hi folks!

༄ 🜃 𝑾𝑨𝑳𝑷𝑼𝑹𝑮𝑰𝑺𝑵𝑨𝑪𝑯𝑻 🜃༄ 2026 A Hypnotic Sonic Journey Through the Witches’ Night
On this special night, when the veil between the worlds grows thin, I captured an atmospheric live performance. With the Gene Synths Polygene II and the Torso S-4, rich and multi-layered sounds emerged, blending drone-like textures with sparkling details.
The entire music was played live – no grid, no sequencers, just pure improvisation and intuition. Welcome to the Brocken.

Best sound with headphones 🖖👽"

Drift DJ Industries Unveils Zero Pocket-Sized Mixing, Playback and Recording Device

video uploads by Drift DJ Industries

Press release follows:


Drift DJ Industries Unveils Zero, a pocket-sized mixing, playback and recording device for djs and electronic musicians

CHICAGO, April 13, 2026. Drift DJ Industries announces Zero, a palm-sized, battery-powered, all-in-one audio mixing, performance and recording system. With its portability and instant-on playability, Zero’s standalone 2-deck DJ system empowers DJs to break outside of the booth and bring their sound to any space. Through it’s DAWless and hybrid DJ-oriented external device sync, audio signal mixing, deep routing configuration and built-in recorder, Zero collapses key functions into a single machine, reducing the amount of hardware required to craft any sound.

Zero: Portable DJ, DAWless, Mixing and Recording

Big-Rig DJ-Features in the Palm of Your Hand

Don’t be fooled by Zero’s small size. Its robust feature set includes DJ-quality time-stretching, dedicated headphone cues, filters and FX for each playback deck. With physical controls organized in a familiar-two channel DJ mixer layout, our device is perfect for DJs who want to forgo larger laptop and controller-based setups while retaining the tactile feedback not found on mobile apps. Leave the cables and power supplies at home. Never get a meeting invite in the middle of a mix.

Compact Machine with DAW-Like Powers
Zero’s wildly-flexible signal routing UI lets users control every link in the signal path. Glue together any collection of music-making gear by routing signals from aux busses and the decks between the analog and USB I/O ports.

For example: Route audio from a Dirtywave M8 and a Roland S-1 into Zero’s analog input ports, and individually trim and EQ each device. Bus those signals together and send/return to a Hologram Chroma Console. Route that signal into the crossfader to mix the effected M8 and S-1 sound with the DJ decks. Add an OXI E-16 and map individual knobs to the M8 and S-1 bus’s post-fader, EQ controls and bi-modal filter cutoff (input control mapping is slated for post-launch release). Record several minutes of knob-tweaking as a .wav file to Zero's internal storage. Re-import that .wav file, add cuepoints and a beatgrid, and loop and layer it in with other inputs and DJ playback.

Built to Evolve
Zero is a new hardware platform and a custom Linux distribution running front-end software from our own publicly-available open source SDK. It ships with the DJ playback, library, external sync, signal routing and recording features, and it includes on-device software management for easy install of future updates. Planned updates include control input mapping, video output for streamers, third-party library support (including rekordbox and Engine DJ) and accessibility features. It fits in a fanny pack, but Zero will develop new capabilities by the truckload.

See our device specs and release roadmap for more info.

Meet Zero in Person
Stop by our exhibitor tables at the following events:
SynthFest France, Nantes, April 17th-19th
Superbooth, Berlin, May 7th-9th

Pricing and Availability
Zero is in presale and priced at $899, with an expected release date of Summer 2026.

Intellijel Swells | Four synth explorations

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Four mostly ambient pieces with Intellijel's new reverb and other hardware.

Fair warning: Intellijel sent me the Swells and Jellymix. Take that as you will. Considering how much other Intellijel stuff I use, and considering how much I'm a sucker for reverb, I was excited to try this one out.

00:00 - Omnichord ambient
03:49 - SubH Replay ambient
08:22 - S-4 OVUM ambient
12:35 - Hexdrums jam

Undoubtedly, we're living in a golden era of reverb hardware. I've got more reverb than one human needs, but I love it so much. One thing that means, though, is that I'm looking for reverb that does new things, that isn't just good but different and textural and interesting in and of itself.

In that respect I've been very happy with Swells, and am planning to use it a bunch after this. Swells can play it straight, but the combination of self-generated modulation and great colouration options means Swells can draw attention, add unique character, and fill a role more than simply adding space. I've particularly liked pairing it with Jellymix, using Swells as a send and then using varying amounts of wet/dry across multiple instruments, creating a shared reverb environment that feels pretty glued. It's a great combo.

So do you need another reverb? Probably not. You don't need anything in hardware, honestly. But if you're looking for a hardware reverb that makes you think differently about time-based effects, and if you're looking for a reverb that sounds good in new ways, I think Swells is worth checking out.

Thanks for listening.

The Crow Hill Company Introduces the THE SH*T SYNTH

The Sh*t Synth - Walkthrough video upload by CROW HILL XTRAS

Press release follows:


The Crow Hill Company turns to extensive and rare collection to turn out THE SH*T SYNTH as compendium of 48 circuit-, wave- and sample-bent instruments

EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to turn to its own extensive and rare collection of hardware to turn out THE SH*T SYNTH — available as a compendium of 48 circuit-, wave- and sample-bent instruments inspired by some of the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s eclectic musical favourites (spanning the likes of Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Joe Maus, Jon Brion, Laurie Spiegel, Radiohead, Throbbing Gristle, and Yazoo) to create something that they collectively ask: is it just shit or ‘the shit’? — as of April 7…

Whatever way anyone chooses to read into the titling of THE SH*T SYNTH as the latest entry into The Crow Hill’s ongoing ORIGINS series of sample-based virtual instrument plug-ins, one thing is for sure: it readily represents a broad selection of three categories of 16 workhorse instruments each, effectively wrapped up into a single plug-in designed to bring a cohesive approach to making music more edgy, lo-fi, retro, and — swimming against the technological tide of so-called progress — decidedly AI (Artificial Intelligence) slop-free. From pianos to strings, plucks, beeps, bass, and pads, the compendium that is THE SH*T SYNTH has been lovingly sculpted by the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s media composer and ‘samplist-in-residence’ Christian Henson to take the hassle out of making existing sounds less refined, catering to those looking for an entirely new bank of Mellotron-style sounds as well as synths that have been long forgotten — for good reason, too!

Compression & Dynamics Patching on Eurorack Modular Synths // Sump Pump by Robots Are Red

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have SUMP PUMP from Robots Are Red (with circuit design from Setonix Synth). It's a 6HP stereo Eurorack noise gate that can also invert its behaviour into a compressor and with the 'floor' control it can also be an expander. We've 3 umbrella sections in the video with compression, noise gate and sidechain ducking techniques. Check out the patches and let us know which is your favourite. There's also an exclusive run down of the dirty bass patch on / divkid"

*TIMING INDEX // CHAPTERS*
00:00 Intro & previews
01:00 What are we doing & feature run down

PATCHES // COMPRESSION
03:17 Setting up compression on beats
06:05 Adding excitement to thick distorted bass with expansion
08:17 Reshaping chords with compression

PATCHES // NOISE GATE
10:00 From basic to creative noise gates
13:56 “Beat density” with floor control (thanks to RAR for the idea!)

PATCHES // DUCKING & SIDECHAIN
17:48 Big dumb bass ducking - good fun & how to set it up
19:34 Creatively duck ambient FX - I love this mixing/production trick

It's a noise gate, it's a noise suppressor, it's a compressor, it's an expander, it's stereo.

The Specs and Stats:

Width: 6hp
- Attack and Release knob for envelope(s)

- Threshold for suppression/compression (0V - ~8V)

- Floor controls the amount of suppression/compression from -100dB to Unity and even up to +10dB for expanding the louds louder or make the quiets a bit louder.

- Level controls your overall output level

- Gate/Comp switch: When in "Gate" mode, whenever the input falls BELOW the threshold level, the envelope will engage towards the floor setting. When in "Comp" mode, the envelope will trigger when the input rises ABOVE the threshold setting.

-Stereo inputs and outputs. The envelope follower is assigned to the Left input, so the L input can also be used as a sidechain input for a mono signal (into In-R).

- Engage input. This is a gate input for manually engaging the envelope.

- Threshold CV input. This offsets from your knob position.

- Floor CV input. This also offsets from your knob position.

- Duck CV Input. This is an envelope follower input that applies and inverted envelope to the level of the signal. Send a simple pulse or trigger, an actual kick, an envelope, or anything else into this to duck your signal.

-Envelope Output. The envelope Output does not follow the "floor" settings and always outputs a full voltage envelope.

Special thanks to SetonixSynth and many others for really helping make this module a reality.
