Glitch drums revisited – a modular patch on Magnolia

video upload by Frap Tools

"Today we want to recreate a classic modular patch on Magnolia. The patch used Brenso and Usta to create a glitchy modular techno drum part. Let's see how far into the modular territory we can push Magnolia!

60 New D-50 Inspired Performances for Your Korg Wavestate

video upload by Ian Dixon

"In this video, I'm demonstrating my new 'D-50 Collection' sound pack designed for the Korg Wavestate, Wavestate Native, and Wavestate Module. Inspired by the late 80s LA synthesis of the Roland D-50, these 60 performances and 170+ programs use the Wavestate's native samples and 4-layer architecture to recreate that distinctive, bright hybrid sound.

I’ll be walking through some of the classic recreations like Fantasia, Staccato Heaven, and Soundtrack, as well as original sounds built using the same D-50 concepts.

Pack Details:

60 Performances & 170+ Programs
No external samples required (uses built-in Wavestate samples)
Compatible with hardware and native versions

SP-404 & Field Recordings +OP-1 field Piano | Fake Green 2026-07-20 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A summer electronica piece where field recordings, abstract electronic sounds, and piano tones blend together.

This work is created with the OP-1 field and SP-404.

On the OP-1 field, the preset Sampler piano sound is performed with reverb through the blueSky.

On the SP-404, synth pad samples and field recording samples are played back. Micro loops are layered through the MOOD MKII, then the signal is processed through LOSSY to create a lo-fi texture."

Buchla Music Easel + TipTopAudio 248t (MARF) exploration #01

video upload by Trübüla

"First attempt at making the Music Easel and Eurorack talk to each other.

The 218 pulse drives the MARF and Frap Tools Sapèl.

On the Easel, I'm exploring Todd Barton's 'Pointillism' patch, with a few personal detours along the way.

There's no real destination here ..."

"‪@plantssystem-ufo‬
KOSMOS3EFX – GamePadで残響を演奏するエフェクト実験
この動画では、PureData の hidio を使用し、USBゲームパッドの入力をリアルタイムに取得して、リバーブとディレイの“残響成分”を直接コントロールする仕組みを紹介しています。
スティックやボタン操作によって、リバーブの広がり、プリディレイ、ディレイのフィードバック、モジュレーション量などを“演奏するように”変化させることができます。
展示やライブで、「触ると空間が変わる」「音が揺れる」「距離感が動く」といった体験を直感的に作り出すためのプロトタイプです。
PureData とゲームパッドだけで、空間系エフェクトを“楽器化”する試みをぜひご覧ください。"

Googlish:

"@plantssystem-ufo
KOSMOS3EFX – An experiment in performing reverb effects using a gamepad
This video demonstrates a system that uses Pure Data's 'hidio' to capture real-time input from a USB gamepad, allowing for direct control over the "reverberant components" of reverb and delay effects.
By manipulating the sticks and buttons, you can alter parameters—such as reverb spread, pre-delay, delay feedback, and modulation depth—in a truly "performative" manner.
This prototype is designed for exhibitions and live performances, enabling users to intuitively create experiences where touching the controller transforms the spatial atmosphere, makes the sound waver, or shifts the sense of distance.
Please take a look at this experiment in turning spatial effects into a musical instrument using nothing but Pure Data and a gamepad."

Background Modulars No12 - Buchla 200

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Don’t have a real cloned Buchla 200 to hand? No worries! Just put this video on in the background (in full-screen mode), and have the next best thing 😁

Here is 10 minutes of self-playing modular synthesiser randomness

Why not put it on loop - then you can have it playing away in the background while you do other things

A note on the patch:

'I’m using the 259 as the main sound source, which is being sent to various places: the 288 delay, the 296 filter bank and the Dodeca modules’s LPGs

The MARF is combined with the 208 5 step sequencer to produce all the modulations, all powered from a 281 VC function generator

The Dodeca mixer provides stereo panning and the general output'

This piece was featured on Modulisme Session 131: https://modular-station.com/modulisme...

And it appears on this album:

Please support them if you like this kind of stuff! 😁

"Hi folks!

I collected a handful of drum sounds and fed them directly into the Siluria’s audio input, where they transformed into an atmospheric journey of textures, echoes, and evolving rhythms. A beat-driven ambient piece recorded live in a single take.

Best sound with headphones"

Meet ARGISH - A Synth That Plays Itself w/o AI

Via the creator of ARGISH:

"I make instruments at Tunary Instruments, and I built ARGISH — a synth that scores itself.

The part I care about most: there's no AI in it. No trained models, no 'make me a track' button. It's real synthesis and real music theory — you pick a few chords and draw the shape of the piece, and ARGISH does the craft: voicing the pads, weaving the arpeggios, laying bass and a real sampled guitar, building and resolving like an actual score. You stay the author — it just takes the grind off your hands. In a world flooding with AI-generated music, this one stays organic: human-directed, made by ear.

Easiest to feel the difference in your browser — no download, no signup: tunaryinstruments.com/play"

It's also available as an AU/VST3/Standalone for Mac & Windows

Meet YPC - An Online MPC Like YouTube Slice and Trigger Player

This one is in via Ivan Trajkovic aka deejayiwan.

You can find it at https://ypc2000.fun

It's pretty self explanatory. Just give it the ID of any YouTube video in the top YouTube URL field and trigger the pads for different clips, then explore the rest of the controls. Essentially you can sample splice any YouTube video and audio. I'm not seeing the ability to loop samples or the ability to set the length individually - the sample length appears to be global for all pads.

03:28 basic usage
03:49 emotional chords!
04:41 ... or not
05:05 chord analyzer
05:52 passing chords
