DevOcean Modular | MIDI Effects Chord Generator and Arpeggiator Chain #modularsynth #sounddesign

video upload by Ocean Swift / Faxi Nadu

Press release follows:

"Ocean Swift has released version 1.2 of DevOcean Modular, its modular synthesis and sound design platform. The update adds thirty-five modules, headed by a complete MIDI effects section - Chord Generator, Scale Enforcer, Strummer, Random Notes, MIDI Delay, Velocity Processor and Humanizer - which operate on note data rather than audio.

A second group unbundles functionality that previously lived inside larger multimode modules. Compressor and Limiter, Bracket EQ, RBJ Multimode Filter, the AD, AHD and ADSR envelopes and the Display family are now also available as single-purpose modules, carrying fewer controls to wire and to expose.

The Capsule Manager, which lets a builder give any patch a custom front panel and compile it into a shareable .osmodule file, gains sprite and font skinning, hyperlink labels, styled input and output labels, and exposable XY and sample views that can act as drop targets. The release also includes performance work across undo, the browser and canvas polling, plus new tutorials and factory content.

DevOcean Modular 1.2 is available now for 35% off at €129.99

The demo is the full instrument - every module and preset, no time limit, saving disabled."

Terrain Synth: Conductive Labs - Knobcon 2026

video upload by sonicstate

"Since the last coverage, the Terrain Synth now includes a developed patch set, a Favourite section and expanded effects routing. The effects menu offers multiple topologies; previously, the four effects slots ran only in series. The synth also includes FM-style sounds, harmonic and inharmonic processing, overdrive and distortion in some patches, plus a built-in vector synth that sweeps through four voices.

The Terrain engine works like a table-based oscillator, but the sound is traced by complex paths rather than a single wavetable line. Parameters are modulatable, with an LFO and envelope available per parameter. The graphics show the terrain, vector movement and harmonic behaviour directly.

The Kickstarter price is $999 for around six to eight weeks, then retail pricing moves to $1199. Shipping is expected in about six weeks.

Bitcrush Legio: Stereo pitch-tracking downsampler on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Bitcrush Legio is a stereo bitcrusher and downsampler with pitch-tracking sample-rate reduction, giving you all sorts of ways to digitally destroy a sound.

Let's start with Bits. This reduces the bit depth of your signal, adding everything from subtle digital grit to seriously crunchy textures.

Then there's Rate. Instead of simply setting the downsample rate, Rate tracks 1 volt per octave, so we can sequence or modulate it just like the pitch of an oscillator.

Dither adds noise before the signal is quantized, changing the character of all that digital destruction.

And if things are getting a little too crispy, the LPF switch gives us two flavors of filtering to tame the high end, or we can switch it off completely and let all that crunch through.

The Envelope switch gives us two ways to control dynamics, either matching the original volume or normalizing the signal before crushing it.

And pressing the encoder or sending a gate to the Hit input are easy ways to bypass the whole effect, perfect for dropping Bitcrush in and out of a performance.

And Bitcrush is only one option. The entire Legio firmware collection is free to swap with a simple USB connection.

23 Firmwares.
One Legio.

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

Ambient Minimal w/ Moog Arpeggios & Synth Harmony | Natural and Plane 2026-09-17 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Ambient minimal music built from overlapping arpeggios and harmonies.

This piece was created with the Moog Grandmother, Prophet-10, and OP-1 field.

On the Prophet-10, harmonies are performed using a pad sound while reverb is applied through the MICROCOSM.

On the Grandmother, the arpeggiator is held while modulation is applied to the filter envelope amount.

On the OP-1 field, a synth lead is performed while modulation is applied through LOST+FOUND."

Roland JD-800 Sound Demo | 90s Synth Magic – Favorite Sounds

video upload by RetroSound

"legendary Roland JD-800! 🎹✨

In this sound demo, I’m playing several of my favorite sounds on this beautiful early-90s synthesizer, showcasing the unmistakable character and atmosphere of the Roland JD-800.

Released in 1991, the Roland JD-800 quickly became one of the most iconic digital synthesizers of its era. With its hands-on controls, powerful PCM sounds and unmistakable 90s character, it remains a favorite among synth enthusiasts, musicians and producers today.

In this video, you’ll hear the JD-800 in action through a selection of classic sounds that I personally love. No complicated technical breakdown — just the beautiful sound of this legendary synthesizer.

If you love vintage synthesizers, Roland keyboards, 90s electronic music and classic synth sounds, I hope you enjoy this little journey back in time."

Korg 03R/W - SynthCorner Presets (Sounds Only)

video upload by wolfgang S vukan

"Korg 03R/W - SynthCorner Presets (Sounds Only)

If you like these sounds, you can buy the complete 03R/W SysEx bank from me with all 80 presets for 10 Euros (contact me at: vukansto at gmail dot com).

So, this is an old KORG ROMpler from 1991, a cut-down version of the flagship 01R/W. The 03R/W has less sample ROM (5 MB vs. 6 MB on the 01R/W) and lacks the Waveshaping and Emphasis features. Korg named this digital synthesis engine AI2, which stands for Advanced Integrated Synthesis (second generation). The first AI generation was featured in the M1 and T series.

Actually, I planned to sell this 03R/W, but now I'm not so sure. It reminds me of some mystic, dark sounds I created on the T2ex that I sold a decade ago. Now, I have those similar sounds in a compact 1U rack unit.

Recorded directly form 03r/W audio output to Tascam DR05x recorder (24bit / 48 khz)

Korg 03R/W specifications:
32 polyphonic (16 poly in dual Osc mode presets)
8 parts multitimbral (16 parts in General MIDI mode)
255 multi samples (5mb ROM of 16bit samples)
Single or dual oscilator structure per program/preset
Digital low-pass filter (VDF) per oscillator
2x digital effects processor (reverb, delay, chorus, distortion, etc.)
229 programs-presets (100 RAM + 129 ROM GM) and 100 multi combinations
PCM and RAM data cards expansions
4 analog audio outputs"

Dreamcatcher Synthesizer Frequency Factory - Knobcon 2026

video upload by sonicstate

"Sean from Frequency Factory gave us a look at Dreamcatcher Synthesizer, his first prototype as a hardware granular synth with sample-based operation, FM and wavetable oscillators, onboard effects and direct recording.

The synth comes preloaded with samples, and it can also capture external instruments or process incoming audio for real-time granulation. The granular engine takes small pieces of a sample, overlaps and layers them, arpeggiates grains across octaves, and reverses playback. Controls include density, grain size, position and spread, with randomisation for density, size and position. Grains can play forward, backward, or switch direction randomly.

The effects section includes comb, band-pass, low-pass, high-pass and notch filtering, plus reverb and delay. The comb filter self-resonates with feedback, and key tracking ties delay time to keyboard pitch. The wavetable oscillator reads from the same sample bank, with variable frame cycling and frequency modulation.

DemonBox Eternal Research - Knobcon 2026

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Jordan from Eternal Research about DemonBox, a triangular electromagnetic instrument and controller. He explained how it reacts to electromagnetic fields from motors, magnets, speakers, phones and other implements, turning those interactions into audio, CV and MIDI.

DemonBox has 33 inductors on its surface, arranged as three channels of 11 in concentric spirals. It has no internal oscillators or tone generators; the audio output comes from disturbances in the electromagnetic field, closer to a wide-field pickup than a synth voice. MIDI notes control instruments such as HydraSynth, while MIDI data can also drive TouchDesigner visuals and DMX lighting via conversion.

The unit includes three external audio inputs, one for each inductor channel. Incoming audio can be mixed with the knobs, and it also affects outgoing MIDI and CV. MIDI runs over USB-C, the unit is powered by 5V USB power, and CV is available for modular hardware. DemonBox is priced at $999, with an in-person Knobcon 26 offer including a free Ferris wheel order.

Regen: Synclavier Music - Knobcon 2026

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Michael Glanton from Synclavier Music about Regen, the company's desktop synthesizer. He explained that it uses the same DSP engine as Arturia's Synclavier V and Synclavier Go.

Regen is a 12-part multitimbral instrument, with each timbre assignable to its own MIDI channel or layered on the same channel. Each timbre contains up to 12 partials, and each partial supports additive synthesis, subtractive synthesis, samples, and resynthesized sample material. It also includes a resonant filter section plus DSP effects such as delays, reverbs and bit crushing.

The new development discussed was PSVIO, an audio interface based on the original Synclavier systems. It uses R2R ladder DACs and includes inputs and outputs. Regen itself has no inputs, so an upcoming software update adds direct sample recording when used with PSVIO.

The demonstrated workflow records a sample, maps it to the keyboard, sets a start point, analyses it, auto-tunes it and converts it into additive synthesis frames for looping and modulation.

Regen is proiced at $2499 with the Regen Knob - the iconic Synclaiver control at $349"
