Partials & Discrepancies 1.5.0 – 30+ Dry Presets | Additive Synth Update, No Talking

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"Partials & Discrepancies has just gotten an update, a new look and 42 new presets.

In this video I play through around 30 of the new Partials & Discrepancies 1.5.0 factory presets, played completely dry. No talking.

The on-screen text goes through the main additions in v1.5.0 while I play.

Partials & Discrepancies is an 8-voice additive synth built around up to 128 partials per voice, oscillator slots, voice discrepancies and a lot of movement between states.

Version 1.5.0 adds:
• Oscillator Detune
• Oscillator Smear, based on a tuned delay line
• Ring Modulator mode
• New self-oscillating filter
• Host-synced Mod Osc
• Key-reset and key-tracked noise for the Mod Osc
• Portamento and polyphonic legato
• Improved voice stealing
• New interface colors and layout
• 42 new factory presets


The video goes through around 30 of the new presets without external effects, so everything you hear comes directly from the synth - it was recorded straight from the iMac's output onto a Zoom H6 recorder.

"PĒRKONS 1.3 CHANGELOG


Features:
- Custom Samples per BANK

Now each BANK can have its own sample set, it must be placed in the BANK folder (00;01;etc). If no SAMPLES folder is present in a BANK folder, default sample set from the root folder SAMPLES is loaded!


- New CHORD algorithm
Accsess it via the Voice 3, Algo 3, Mode 3! It replaces one of the Karplus modes. PARAM1 morphs throuigh the waveforms, PARAM 2 sets the chord.

Three new generative sequencers

video upload by John Schussler

"I have had the Gamut Repetitor from Noise Engineering for a while, and then recently got the Random 8 and the Shooting Stars modules. Since all three are farming similar ground, if that's a saying, I figured I'd do a quick comparison.

Nothing exhaustive, just a feel for how each sounds with a quick plug in and fiddle.

There are two VCOs attached because the Shooting Stars only has two outputs. The Gamut and Random 8 have more, but it seemed to make more sense to just stick with 2 for all of them. The gate pattern is coming from a Numeric Repetitor, and is the same for all 3 so it's easier to hear the melodic differences.

VCOs are Plaits and PonyVCO. Envelope is Zadar.

Pine DSP releases Blox Rack (VST/AU/AAX)

video upload by Pine DSP

Press release follows:

"Pine DSP have announced the availability of Blox Rack, a modular effects rack plugin in the "500-series" mould, that adds a horizontal panel for EQ, modulation and other fine details.

Blox Rack's six effects – EQ, Comp, Chorus, Reverb, Delay, Exciter – are also available individually as separate plugins to load and run in a DAW for license holders of Blox Rack.

Mixing with a rack of plugins is a mostly great workflow, but when it comes to EQ, the vertical format can't offer you a speedy way to edit bands precisely or a view of the frequency spectrum running through it. That's why we added a pop-out horizontal panel to the top of Blox Rack – it acts as a context-sensitive view, helping you stay in the moment for EQ, modulation and precision ducking.

JIANT FM — FM1 | Animal + Drum X + Bytebeat Jam

video upload by JIANT

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"JIANT FM — FM1 | Animal + Drum X + Bytebeat Jam

A little jam exploring the Animal, Drum X and Bytebeat engines of my custom firmware, JIANT FM, for the FM1.

First of all, I want to thank everyone for the incredible support and love you've been giving this project. It makes me really happy to see so many people connecting with my way of thinking, creating and designing instruments.

The firmware is still in beta. There are some CPU performance and UI issues I need to solve before I can move forward with a more stable version.

Right now, development is temporarily on hold because I've run out of funds for the project this month, including Claude credits, which have been an essential tool in helping me turn my ideas into something real.

JIANT FM started as a very personal experiment, an attempt to build the synthesizer I've always wanted to have. Somehow, it kept growing and eventually found its way into your homes, studios and creative processes. That's something I never imagined, and it means a lot to me.

My intention is to keep improving it and make it available to everyone, free and open, while continuing to explore the connection between technology, sound design and my own creative practice as a visual artist.

A New 2026 Alesis Andromeda Firmware Update

This one was posted by Gordotuomi on Gearslutz where you can find a video demo of it.

"Hello everyone! This is quite an unusual post, but I'd just like to share that I've been working on a brand new firmware update for the Andromeda. Built off of the 2002 firmware, It fixes many bugs like jumpy potentiometers, makes envelopes snappier and smoother, lowers oscillator levels so they don't clip excessively when pushed to 100%, and so far adds brand new features like a 'vintage' knob (akin to a modern Prophet), and a Matrix-12 styled true stereo voice spread knob, all under a new "A6Plus" page of the Global tab.

Here's a video showing off the vintage knob and the stereo spread, no internal/external FX: I'm still continuing to work on this, adding new features, and address the DSP engine to make effects less clipped and harsh. But if there are any bugs, features that people think should be addressed let me know.

I'm hesitant to release it as this is very much a 'load at your own risk' as like any experimental firmware it could brick hardware, especially since this was written with Claude, which bruteforced, decoded and reversed engineered the original firmware to build new updates, but it runs just fine on my Andromeda. The firmware does not touch the Bootloader at all which acts as a backup failsafe. This is still very early in development, but I just wanted to share this project to let folks know the future is bright for this amazing synth! :)"

Sequential Circuits Pro One Test (Improv)

video upload by neilpattonmusic

"Recently acquired a vintage Pro-One when a friend cleaned out their basement and found this buried in the back in a case. Gave it to me as a thank you for help I've given over the years, even when I told them what it was possibly worth. Was non-functioning, but another friend took it apart, cleaned it up, and re-assembled it. It's in wonderful condition. Can't believe I have this in my studio now. Here's an early improv as I'm starting to learn the ins and outs of this very cool piece of history.

Audio not edited. Some EQ, chorus and flanger was added to beef up the raw sound.

The Original OP-1 Just Got a New Synth Engine, Chords and 6 New Effects and More (Free Firmware Mod)

video upload by Justin Joe

"New stuff for the original OP-1. A Keys synth engine (tine, reed and clav), chord mode and scales, a piano-roll sequencer that records chords, six new effects with their own screens, a new LFO, a knob-click Shift latch, and MIDI CC on almost every knob. It all runs on top of firmware 246, the last one teenage engineering released for the OG, and it's free.

🔧 GET THE MOD (free). Download, install steps and the manual with the full MIDI CC chart: https://justinjoe.com/op1-mod

☕ If it makes your OP-1 more fun, the tip jar is here: https://buymeacoffee.com/justinjoe

Original OP-1 only, not the OP-1 Field. Unofficial, not affiliated with or supported by teenage engineering, use at your own risk. Going back to stock has one rule (switch your sounds off the new engine, effects and LFO first), and it's in the install steps."

11 Modes of Q215 Digital Reverb

video upload by synthesizersdotcom

"We are proud to announce that we have added a multi-mode STEREO reverb to our lineup. Featuring detailed reverbs created to work well within a modular setup, this module is sure to add new sounds and textures to your case that are sure to inspire you.

With multiple reverb algorithms, the Q215 can easily fill the role of everything from a subtle spatial enhancer to an intense sonic shaper -- especially if you add modulation to any of the four CV inputs. You may find yourself in some decidedly abstract territory, creating dream-like soundscapes or ambient dub workouts with just a twist of a knob.

11 Modes & LED Colors
1. Dattorro Plate – Red
2. Medium Room – Blue
3. Medium Hall – Green
4. Big Cloud – Yellow
5. Sunday Large Reverb – Aqua / Cyan
6. Flanged Hall – Purple
7. Tank Reverb – White
8. Short and Snappy – Pink
9. Artistic Large Hall – Dim Orange
10. Large Hall High Detune – Bright Orange
11. Alternate Tank Reverb w/ Modulation – Violet"
