Roma Modulare 2026 | Chris Calcutt Presents the Sequential Fourm Synth
video upload by Malvinus
"At Roma Modulare 2026, I sat down with Chris Calcutt to talk about the Sequential Fourm, his synthesizer.
Chris walks us through the ideas behind the instrument, the choices that shaped it, and what makes it worth a closer look on a floor full of modular gear.
Just a conversation with the Focusrite specialist — sometimes that's the best way to understand an instrument.

Roma Modulare 2026 | Stefano Sorrentino Presents the Polyvera Synth from Suonobuono
video upload by Malvinus
"At Roma Modulare 2026, I sat down with Stefano Sorrentino of Suonobuono to talk about his latest creation: the Polyvera, a six-voice synthesizer built around analog filters.
Stefano walks us through the design choices behind the instrument, the philosophy driving Suonobuono, and what makes the Polyvera stand out on a table full of synths.
Just a conversation with the person who built it — sometimes that's the best way to understand an instrument.

Gator Legio: Stereo supersaw PM oscillator on the Legio platform
video upload by Noise Engineering
"Gator Legio is a stereo supersaw oscillator inspired by the Manis Iteritas Alia core, with piles of detuned saws, phase modulation, and plenty of stereo movement.
Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...
Let's start with Detune. This spreads the saw voices apart in pitch, taking your sound from a tight unison to a huge, dense, swarm of saws.
Saw Mod changes the character of those waves, giving you another way to push the harmonics with that classic Noise Engineering sound.
Then there's Saw Count. This switch changes the number of saw waves in the swarm.
And since Gator is stereo, the Stereoness switch spreads those voices across the stereo field for an even wider sound.
The inputs are for phase modulation. Feed in another oscillator and you can take that supersaw into much stranger territory.
And send a gate to the 8vA input and Gator instantly jumps up an octave, giving you another fun way to animate a sequence.
Gator is one of several synth voices available for Legio. You'll also find AT, Plus, Unda, Reso, and plenty of completely different percussion voices and effects to swap in over USB.
23 Firmwares.One Legio.
Visit noiseengineering.us or your favorite retailer to get a Legio module in your case."

VAEMI Releases Its First Plug-in: R2R Ladder for VCV Rack
Press release follows:
"The hardware R2R Ladder Eurorack module is now available as a free virtual module, marking the first release in VAEMI’s expanding software line.
Istanbul, Türkiye – September 2026 – Istanbul-based electronic musical instrument manufacturer VAEMI – Volt Age Electronic Musical Instruments has released its first plug-in and first software product: R2R Ladder for VCV Rack. The new virtual module is a software adaptation of VAEMI’s physical R2R Ladder Eurorack module, preserving the original hardware’s bidirectional architecture and core musical concept. The plug-in is available free of charge through the official VCV Library.
Inspired by the fundamental architecture of an R-2R digital-to-analog converter, R2R Ladder uses eight weighted connections representing eight binary bits. Together, these provide 256 possible binary combinations, opening up a wide range of applications for audio, CV, gates, modulation and waveform processing.
The module can operate in two directions.

NINE INCH NAILS - Closer (Sequential PRO 3 & Elektron Digitakt)
video upload by nicola neeco
"After listening the Nine Inch Noize version of Closer, I wanted to recreate one of my favorite sounds from the original track.
On the Sequential Pro 3, I designed a synth stab patch inspired by the iconic riff of this track from The Downward Spiral.
For the drums, I used the Elektron Digitakt, building a similar industrial groove using samples from my own drum library."

A-168-1 PWM/Comparator module
video upload by Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH
"We hope that Vermona will not end our long friendship now...
Using the A-168-1 PWM/Comparator module with the DRM1 MKIV.
The A-168-1 processes the drums and is modulated by one of its outputs. This results in some really nice distorted sounds, some really crazy overdrives... this module is also quite cheap...
The A-101-6 Six Stage Opto FET VCF, used in low pass mode, modulates some of the high frequencies...

Maximus 8V: The Ultimate Analogue Polysynth | Analogue Solutions #short
video upload by Analogue Solutions
"The Maximus 8V: the ultimate analogue workstation polysynth.
Bring in individual synth voices, pan them across the stereo field, and add FX and spring reverb. Play chords or a lead, explore the eight onboard sequencers, or connect your own CV sequencer.
It’s all possible."

Hat Fun With The MINI12
video upload by gotharman
"I am still working on a new expansion card for LD Zero Analog. It will add four 12 bit sample voices, each with their own analog filter and analog VCA.
In this video I am tweaking a hi-hat sampling, and then starting the play back of 3 other samplings and 3 LD Zero parts.

Machinedrum Emulation is HERE | Factory Patterns Demo
video upload by Autodafe
"What if you could run an Elektron Machinedrum inside your computer?
In this video I'm taking a look at Gearmulator MD, an impressive emulation of the legendary Elektron Machinedrum, developed by Joe Landers as a fork of the Gearmulator project.
There is no talking in this video — just a quick look at the interface and a selection of the original factory patterns, so you can hear the emulation in action.
⚙️ ABOUT THE EMULATION
Gearmulator is a low-level emulation project that recreates the hardware used by several classic digital synthesizers and runs their original firmware.
Joe Landers' gearmulator-md-mm fork extends that work with emulations of the Elektron Machinedrum and Elektron Monomachine.
The result is not simply a software recreation inspired by the Machinedrum: it runs the original machine firmware on an emulated version of the underlying hardware.
At the time of making this video the project is still in alpha development, so expect things to continue evolving.

Why isn't anyone talking about this beauty?
video upload by Synth Codex
"A no-talking sound demo of a music instrument that really surprised me. I'm talking about the Organelle S2 by Critter & Guitari, a tiny instrument that can be almost anything. One minute it's a synth, the next it's a sampler, a drum machine, a looper, or a strange effects processor. It doesn't feel like a normal synth, and it's not trying to be one. That's what makes this instrument unique and so fun to play.
I hope this video gives you a feel for what the Organelle S2 can do. Sometimes the best way to make music is to play around and have fun!"
