"Out Now - https://www.geosynths.com/ob-x8

Back with another 128 Patches for the fantastic Oberheim OB-X8, this Video demonstrates Patches 97 to 128. While Vol 1 covered some Classic Sounds, Vol 2 is more about Synthesis and leaning into new Shapes and Textures. I've since created my own Multi-FX Plugin (GEOSpace) which has EQ, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Delay and Reverb and have created 128 Presets to go with all 128 OB-X8 Patches, just add as an Insert to your Host/DAW and select the same names. That's it.

You can find GEOSpace at the following, these 128 FX Presets will be included with Obsession Vol 2 only.

https://github.com/GEOSynths/GEOSpace...

In terms of Sounds, I've concentrated a lot on Pads and Strings and unusual tones, going further with Page 2 Functions and as always, all 128 are demonstrated over 4 Videos. When the 4th is Live, they will be released. V2 Firmware for the OB-X8 needs to be installed."

Squark Box - Free 16 neuron feedback synthesizer

video upload by e y l v y

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/squark-...


Squark Box is a sixteen-neuron feedback network you can play, built in the spirit of the analog neural-network synthesizers of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

It is a small cybernetic system where every neuron listens to the others and answers back. Think pulses, drones, chirps and slowly shifting rhythms, held somewhere between equilibrium and chaos. You don't tell it what to play; you steer it, and it steers itself.

• 16 neurons on a live round screen. Tap to rewire them, or turn the seeds for a new network.

• Feedback everywhere: neurons pulse, resonate and pull each other into step or out of it.

• A rungler: a shift-register pattern generator, for patterns that repeat or wander.

• Twin resonant filter peaks that sing.

• Modulation: any neuron can move any knob, so the network can turn its own controls.

• Rest, to break chatter into clusters, and STRIKE, to jolt the whole network.

• A spring tank and a blur, for space.

• Four memory slots.

• Mutate nudges a few knobs; Dice randomizes the whole box, cables and all.

• AUv3 for AUM, GarageBand, Logic and Live, as well as a standalone app.

Free, with no ads, no account and no data collected.

2. YOLA + YOLA VOICE 01 — DARK MATTER

A dark ambient and experimental noise performance exploring the sonic possibilities of YOLA Voice.

Combining the distinctive Scan String algorithm with sine-wave oscillators, modulated through a multi-feedback structure to create evolving harmonics, metallic textures, and dark, distorted soundscapes.

With YOLA's real-time MPE control, subtle finger movements continuously reshape the sound, bringing dynamic movement and expressive depth to the performance.

3. YOLA + YOLA VOICE | 02 — ETHER

An ambient performance exploring the physical modeling and modulation capabilities of YOLA Voice.

Using physical modeling algorithms to create acoustic percussion sounds, combined with YOLA Voice's modulation algorithms to transform these sounds into dreamy, evolving ambient textures and ethereal soundscapes.

A journey from organic acoustic resonance to abstract electronic atmospheres, shaped through the expressive MPE control of YOLA.

4. YOLA + YOLA VOICE | 03 — HUMAN TOUCH

An expressive synth performance featuring a classic analog-style wobble bass sound.

Built around sawtooth oscillators, filter resonance, and dynamic filter modulation, creating rich, punchy bass tones with classic analog character.

Combined with YOLA's expressive MPE playing and real-time control, bringing movement, dynamics, and articulation to every note.

"*YOLA is coming.*

Discover a new way to control, create, and perform with MPE.

More Than an MPE Controller

YOLA forms the core of an expressive MPE control system, bringing together intuitive touch interaction, advanced MPE control, and a new approach to musical expression.

From multi-touch performance and expressive modulation to arpeggiator, step sequencer, real-time recording, MIDI, and CV connectivity — this video takes you through the key features and possibilities of YOLA.

*A new way to interact with sound. A new way to create music.*

The YOLA System

The YOLA system launches together with two dedicated expansions:

Ambient Architect | Ambient and Film composition tool

video upload by e y l v y

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ambient...



"IMPORTANT: Ambient Architect does not produce sound and does not operate as a standalone instrument. It must be loaded as a MIDI effect inside an AUv3-compatible host, such as AUM, and connected to other instruments to be heard.

Generate music for films that do not exist.

Ambient Architect is an AUv3 MIDI instrument for dark ambient music, cinematic underscore and slowly evolving composition.

It gives you an ensemble of eight independent parts. Assign each one a role such as Drone, Harmony, Bass, Melody, Fragment, Pulse, Texture or Dust, then route its MIDI output to any instrument you like. Every role has its own musical purpose and its own set of controls.

Akai MidiMix Live Dub Session | Dub Siren, Delay Feedback & Noise | 13 Min

video upload by Illegal State Of Mind

"A 13-minute live dub mix of my track 'Preamp Heater', mixed by hand on an Akai MidiMix and my noise-making toys: three versions back to back, drifting from roots dub into self-oscillating delay, dub siren and noise.

It starts calm, with reverb and delay throws flying around the drums and bass. Step by step the delays start to self-oscillate, the siren comes in, tiny sample loops stutter at crazy speed, and it all builds into feedback, tension and pleasant chaos. In the final blast the delay feedback turns into helicopters and jets, before the tension finally breaks.

The parts were recorded earlier for the EP. What you see here is the mix, done live: fader rides, mutes, effect sends, plus extra sounds from the siren, the sampler and the synth.

NEW Waldorf Crema + GRP A2 | Live Improvisation in C Minor

video upload by Guntersson

"Exploring the brand new Waldorf Crema polyphonic synthesizer in a live hardware session. A bass sequence is running on the GRP A2 synth, while I freely improvise the pads on the Waldorf Crema using the classic Korg T1 as the master keyboard. The combination of the GRP's raw analog bass and the Crema's lush, modern polyphonic textures made me smile.

Gear used in this video:

Synth / Pads: Waldorf Crema
Bass Sequence: GRP A2 Analog Synthesizer
Master Keyboard: Korg T1"

Saadet 1.0 for the M-VAVE FM-1: PPG Wave 2.2, HYDRA, multitimbrality and a new editor

video upload by Keremimo

"Saadet 1.0 is out: synthesizer firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1, now with six engines. HYDRA has three oscillators on 56 waves, two of them scanning lists of eight, with mutants, ring, noise and two filters, eight named macros on every sound and a WAVE LAB for your own waves. PPG Wave 2.2 plays the original wavetables and all 100 factory programs, two groups layered or split, and the sampled grand piano and saxophone of table 31. Two parts play by MIDI channel, split or layered, and save as 12 named performances. Hold ARP for a drone. A stolen voice now fades out over 23 ms under the new note instead of being cut. Saadet also runs on the M-VAVE SMK-37, in beta, and Saadet Studio is a new editor in the browser.

To install, open the web installer in Chrome or Edge, connect your FM-1 and follow it. Back up your sounds first. Bug reports and ideas are welcome.

Install: https://keremimo.github.io/saadet/ins...
Editor: https://saadet.ellicstudio.com
Source, release notes and changelog: https://github.com/keremimo/saadet

How this was made: the units' screens and all the audio were rendered from Saadet's own source running on a computer, driven by scripted buttons, knobs and keys. It isn't camera footage, and the FM-1 and the SMK-37 on screen are drawings. The music is Saadet's HYDRA and PPG engines played over MIDI by a script: the unit on screen plays the pad, and three more runs of the same firmware play the bass, the bells (their echoes are played as notes) and the choir. Levels between engines were evened out in the mix; nothing else was added. The engine waveforms in the opening are drawings of each engine's character, not measured audio. Saadet Studio's screens are stills of a local build of the editor, driven in a browser with its demo unit, which was recorded from the 1.0 firmware.
