video upload by substatica drones

"FoMni turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into an Omnchord. FoMni is free chord harp firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1, inspired by the Suzuki Omnichord. Pick a chord on the black keys, run a finger across the white keys, and it rings out. Behind it are an organ-like chord, a bass, and the OM-84's ten rhythms, which can play the bass and chord in time.

Meet the Stylophone Mini - A Playable Stylophone Keychain Synthesizer

You can find the Stylophone Mini at Perfect Circuit and Amazon.

Press release follows:

The Stylophone Mini puts iconic synth sound in your pocket...

The fully playable miniature instrument combines a metal keyboard, stylus and speaker in three collectible colours

The Stylophone Mini is a pocket-sized, fully playable celebration of one of electronic music’s most recognisable instruments.

Inspired by the original Stylophone, first introduced in 1968, the Stylophone Mini shrinks the unmistakable synth experience into a compact format made to travel. It is small enough to carry with your keys, clip to a bag or keep close at hand, yet it can still be used to play real melodies with the familiar stylus and distinctive Stylophone sound.

From David Bowie to Kraftwerk, countless artists have used Stylophone synths since 1968 and Stylophone currently offers an extensive range of products for the home and studio.

More than a collectible, the Stylophone Mini features a miniature metal keyboard, functional stylus and integrated speaker. Its simple, hands-on design makes it easy to pick up and play wherever inspiration grabs you.

Designed for music fans of all ages, it turns spare moments into opportunities to experiment, create simple tunes and share sound.

With no cables, apps or additional equipment required, the Stylophone Mini offers an immediate way for newcomers to discover Stylophone and for longtime fans to carry a little piece of synth history with them.

John Simpson, CEO Stylophone says "Stylophone is an iconic brand and we wanted to create something that allowed fast, easy creativity and also showcase a beloved synth. In the age of AI, we wanted to make something simple, fun and real".

The new model will be offered in three collectible colours: original, white and pink.

Launch date: October 8th.

Adjust the tempo of the gate loop across a range of half as fast up to twice as fast.

Use Duration CV–voltages that correspond to the durations between beats–to modulate parameters in other modules.

Mute the gate loop, and play the arcade button as a live gate source.

Requires 60mA on the +12V rail and 30mA on the -12V rail. Powered via a standard 10-pin eurorack power cable.

Bos Legio: Cowbell voice on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Bos Legio is a cowbell and agogô-style percussion voice with three different synthesis engines because, obviously, you need more cowbell.

Let's start with Mode. This switches between three completely different ways to make your bells: an 808-inspired square-wave engine, an additive bell, and an FM/ring-mod engine for much more metallic textures.

Decay controls how long every hit rings out. Tone changes the harmonic character of the sound.

Then there's Tilt. This shifts the overall brightness between dark, normal, and bright.

Pitch tracks 1 volt per octave, and a quick press of the Pitch encoder also mutes the voice.

Bring another signal into the FM inputs and Bos starts getting a little less bell-like.

Today your Legio has a fever for cowbell. Tomorrow it can be a supersaw, wavefolder, granular processor, or physical-modeling voice. And they're all free to swap over a USB connection.

23 Firmwares.One Legio.

Visit noiseengineering.us or your favorite retailer to get a Legio module in your case."

8 voice poly to 12 voices

video upload by Craig Barnes

"This is the synth I made last year which was an 8 voice bi-timbral analogue polysynth with AS3340 VCOs and AS3372 filters in matrix 12 configuration. As happy as I was with the synth I thought it would be great to make use of what I've learnt on my last 12 voice DCO polysynth and apply it to this build. So I created some smaller 6 voice cards, made the LFOs in software on the PICOs and rewrote all the controller software. Early days, but it's sort of working, one voice card is slight louder than the other and it's effects don't work. I'm sure there is a lot more to do yet."

Melbourne Instruments launches the Melbourne Exchange and publishes the Roto-Control API

Press release follows:

Melbourne Instruments launches the Melbourne Exchange, a free library of Roto-Control setups made by its owners

Setups for plugins, pedals and synths, plus new software built on Roto-Control's published APIs, all free to download from exchange.melbourneinstruments.com.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - Melbourne Instruments today launched the Melbourne Exchange, a free library where owners of Roto-Control, the company's motorized MIDI controller, share the setups and software they have built for it.

The Exchange opens with more than 60 entries. Plugin setups include Universal Audio's 1176 and LA-2A collections and the Distressor, plugins from SSL, Brainworx, Maag and Analog Obsession, and Logic Pro's own Compressor. Hardware setups cover pedals from Chase Bliss, Boss, Meris, Hologram, Old Blood Noise and Moog, and synths from Elektron, Moog, Waldorf and Korg. Each setup is a file that imports into Melbourne Instruments' ROTO-SETUP app, with parameter names, colors and detents already in place.

Every entry has its own page credited to the person who made it, with a download count and a clear statement of what it has been checked against: the maker's documentation, a Roto-Control, or the device itself. Owners can also confirm that a setup works with their own gear. Everything hosted on the Exchange is shared under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) license.

The Exchange also carries software that owners have built on Roto-Control's published APIs, including RotoSeq, a Max for Live sequencer by Alut in which the eight knobs reshape the clock itself, and MAP8, an extended Ableton Live script by Quixotic7.

Both of Roto-Control's APIs, a serial API for configuration and a SysEx API for live two-way control, are published in full, and the source for Melbourne Instruments' own Ableton Live, Bitwig and Logic Pro integrations is on GitHub. The Exchange includes a starter prompt for AI coding assistants such as Claude, Cursor and Copilot that points the assistant at both specifications before it writes any code.

“We're delighted, and honestly a little amazed, by what owners are doing with Roto-Control,” said Jonathan, VP of Marketing at Melbourne Instruments. “People are mapping gear we never expected and building software for it we hadn't imagined. The Exchange gives all of that a home, with the maker's name on it. And because the APIs are published, anyone can build on it, whether they write the code themselves or with an AI assistant.”

Browsing the Exchange is open to everyone. Downloading and sharing need a free account, created with an email address and a six-digit code sent by email.

The Melbourne Exchange is live now at exchange.melbourneinstruments.com.

Korg EPS-1 – Deep & Powerful Analog Strings Sounds | Rare Vintage Synthesizer

video upload by RetroSound

"Discover the Korg EPS-1, a rare and often overlooked analog string synthesizer from the early 1980s. In this video, I explore its massive, deep and atmospheric string sounds and show why the EPS-1 deserves more attention among vintage analog string machines.

The Korg EPS-1 appeared on the market toward the end of the development of classic analog string synthesizers. While instruments from brands such as Solina, ARP, Roland and Korg are better known today, the EPS-1 remains relatively uncommon and can be difficult to find.

What makes the Korg EPS-1 particularly interesting is its powerful analog string character. The sounds can be incredibly deep, warm, rich and wide, with that unmistakable vintage analog texture associated with classic string synthesizers of the 1970s and early 1980s.

In my opinion, the EPS-1 produces some of the deepest and most impressive analog string sounds of its era. This video focuses on the raw sound of the instrument, its vintage character and the unique atmosphere it can create.

If you are interested in vintage synthesizers, analog string machines, rare Korg synthesizers, 1970s and 1980s analog keyboards, or classic synth sounds, the Korg EPS-1 is definitely an instrument worth discovering."
