Frap Tools MAGNOLIA – 8-voice analog thru-zero FM synthesizer – OUT NOW


video upload by Frap Tools

Check with dealers on the right for price and availability.

"Magnolia is an eight-voice analog through-zero linear FM synthesizer. Besides the classic analog polysynth sounds, its design allows programming some less conventional timbres closer to the world of modular synthesizers, and especially of the so-called “complex oscillators.”

Magnolia allows to bring modular synthesis techniques in the world of analog polysynths, with all the known advantages of the latter: polyphony, immediacy of use, powerful sound, and those little unpredictable details generally known as “analog warmth.”

Magnolia is a highly playable instrument thanks to its expressive Fatar keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch and encourages sound exploration through its large and relaxing front panel.

HiChord Update: They Added a SAMPLER


video upload by Pocket Trax

"There’s a new HiChord update, and it adds a few new features, including a sampler functionality. In this video, I focus on the sampler: how to upload samples using the Companion App, and start playing them inside HiChord using different modes like Arp and Repeat, plus the built-in effects. The sampler is still pretty basic for now (hope the team will improve it in the long run) but it already has a lot of character. Between the effects, slight glitches, and lo-fi artifacts, you can get some really interesting sonic textures out of it.

I didn’t have time to explore every new feature in this update, so this video sticks to the sampler only.

PlayFader PlayMates - Digitakt - Think - Jungle Breaks mash up Pt2

"Watch him first add some random fills with the Random Fun FX. Then he gets really i to it with the Roll Fun Fx to mash up the beat beyond recognition 😎

Is PlayFader the best jungle breaks mash-up sequencer? OK, big claim, and we’re not that bigheaded, but we definitely think PlayFader is one of the most expressive and versatile sequencers out there.

Don’t program your music… play it!

Patch notes:
Playfader controls the first channel of Digitakt in slice mode, with the Think break loaded. Moving the fader enables us to play different slices of the break, and the second channel plays a chord stab sample (but PF can also play lush chords over MIDI).
We add a sprinkle of Random Fun FX at the end of each bar to create some dynamic fills, then we switch to the Roll Fun FX and catch little loops at each press of Play, setting and changing the time division on the fly to mash up the beat pattern and bring the heat 🔥

He’s also using our unique Window Latch function to free up more fingers for playing. With Window Latch you don’t need to keep hold any button combos down along the top row. It’s a powerful performance feature!

PlayFader includes 7 FUN FX modes which allow you to take your patterns to extreme new places and back again at the push of a button… the FUN button!

Erica Synths Steampipe + Torso S4 // DAY 17 #jamuary2026


video upload by Dexba

"Perfectionism almost killed this video, and for a second, I forgot about the point of #jamuary I recorded, and recorded, and re-recorded, and a few days have passed, back and forth, because I care so much about this sound, this vibe, this balance.
I am not 100% satisfied, but I have to let it go, because otherwise I know for sure I will start to hate these chords, I will have to tweak the sounds once again, I will change the video, and so on.
But I do love the resulting vibe, and I will try my best to bring variations on this theme in some live scenario, maybe with a different controller instead of the OPXY (which I am only using because it has midi via 3.5mm jack and... an audible metronome, I am looking at you, Torso)
I hope you'll like it, now this jam is free to run wild on the internet 🧡"

Serge Modular Synth | Analog FM Drone


video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Serge Modular Synth (Sample Pack)
Created entirely with the unique sonic character of Serge modular systems
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

About this Pack
This updated sample pack is composed entirely with Serge Modular Synthesizers — systems known not for emulating instruments, but for redefining how sound is shaped.
Included are raw noise textures, slowly morphing drones, and intricate one-shots captured through extensive patching with Random*Source Eurorack modules and classic Paperface 50 series panels.
Each sound reflects the chaotic elegance of analog voltages in motion. You’ll hear modulations that escape grid-bound sequencing, and timbral behaviors that emerge from complex feedback, slewing, and intermodulation — the kind of detail digital systems rarely capture convincingly.

Why Serge Matters
Serge Modular was designed in the 1970s by Serge Tcherepnin. It was created as an open-ended tool for sonic experimentation. Influenced by cybernetics and avant-garde composition, this system rejects musical hierarchies and embraces uncertainty.

In Serge, control voltages and audio signals are treated as equals. The circuits invite exploration through feedback, cross-modulation, and unpredictable interactions. Every patch is a process of discovery rather than reproduction.

This makes Serge a powerful choice for artists seeking sounds that are not pre-shaped or confined by rules. The textures you will find in this pack are unstable, alive, and deeply human.

PPG 1002 Analog-Synthesizer - two minutes of pure analog power.


video upload by Cornel Hecht

"Two minutes of pure analog power.
This short session is all about weight, depth, and character — massive analog sounds shaped by voltage, movement, and a touch of delay to let the textures breathe and unfold.
No presets. No emulation.
Just a living instrument reacting to every small change.
The PPG 1002 is not about perfection — it’s about presence, energy, and that unmistakable feeling when sound becomes physical.

LYRA-8 Ambient • It will sing if you let it


video upload by Nate Connelly Music

"Soma Labs LYRA-8 Organismic Synthesizer

Track title: Morning Spaces

I've been playing with the LYRA-8 again after some time. Well known for it's intense sound design and noise capabilites, one of my favourite ways to use it is by taking the time to delicately tune each oscillator by ear, and then see how certain phrases and melodies emerge out from the ether.

Equipment used:
• Lyra-8
• Strymon BigSky
• SPL Goldmike Pre-Amp
• ART Pro VLAII Compressor

Recorded into Cubase with minimal post EQ processing.

Thanks for listening.
