Saadet 1.0 for the M-VAVE FM-1: PPG Wave 2.2, HYDRA, multitimbrality and a new editor
video upload by Keremimo
"Saadet 1.0 is out: synthesizer firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1, now with six engines. HYDRA has three oscillators on 56 waves, two of them scanning lists of eight, with mutants, ring, noise and two filters, eight named macros on every sound and a WAVE LAB for your own waves. PPG Wave 2.2 plays the original wavetables and all 100 factory programs, two groups layered or split, and the sampled grand piano and saxophone of table 31. Two parts play by MIDI channel, split or layered, and save as 12 named performances. Hold ARP for a drone. A stolen voice now fades out over 23 ms under the new note instead of being cut. Saadet also runs on the M-VAVE SMK-37, in beta, and Saadet Studio is a new editor in the browser.
To install, open the web installer in Chrome or Edge, connect your FM-1 and follow it. Back up your sounds first. Bug reports and ideas are welcome.
Install: https://keremimo.github.io/saadet/ins...
Editor: https://saadet.ellicstudio.com
Source, release notes and changelog: https://github.com/keremimo/saadet
How this was made: the units' screens and all the audio were rendered from Saadet's own source running on a computer, driven by scripted buttons, knobs and keys. It isn't camera footage, and the FM-1 and the SMK-37 on screen are drawings. The music is Saadet's HYDRA and PPG engines played over MIDI by a script: the unit on screen plays the pad, and three more runs of the same firmware play the bass, the bells (their echoes are played as notes) and the choir. Levels between engines were evened out in the mix; nothing else was added. The engine waveforms in the opening are drawings of each engine's character, not measured audio. Saadet Studio's screens are stills of a local build of the editor, driven in a browser with its demo unit, which was recorded from the 1.0 firmware.

In memory of Alex Kav, our talented sound designer [LFOstore]
video upload by LFOstore
"Alexander “KAV” Kuropyatnik (1969-2026) was a talented sound designer, owner of sound shop, a collector, and above all, a curious mind who never stopped exploring what a synthesizer could become.
Behind KAV Sound Explorer were decades of passion, experimentation, countless hours in the studio, and a genuine love for electronic music.
Alexander is no longer with us, but his creativity lives on in every sound he crafted, every patch he programmed, and every musician who finds inspiration in his work.
Today, we're sharing his story. Not simply to remember a talented sound designer, but to celebrate the person behind the sounds.
Rest in peace, Alexander. Your sounds will keep telling your story."

Obsession Vol 2 - Patches 65 to 96 - Oberheim OB-X8
video upload by GEOSynths
"Out Soon.
Back with another 128 Patches for the fantastic Oberheim OB-X8, this Video demonstrates Patches 65 to 96. While Vol 1 covered some Classic Sounds, Vol 2 is more about Synthesis and leaning into new Shapes and Textures. I've since created my own Multi-FX Plugin (GEOSpace) which has EQ, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Delay and Reverb and have created 128 Presets to go with all 128 OB-X8 Patches, just add as an Insert to your Host/DAW and select the same names. That's it.
You can find GEOSpace at the following, these 128 FX Presets will be included with Obsession Vol 2 only.
https://github.com/GEOSynths/GEOSpace... In terms of Sounds, I've concentrated a lot on Pads and Strings and unusual tones, going further with Page 2 Functions and as always, all 128 are demonstrated over 4 Videos. When the 4th is Live, they will be released. V2 Firmware for the OB-X8 needs to be installed.

Chill Dub Techno : a Colorless Entrance #techno #chillmusic
video upload by No Lake
"This is a style I haven't explored much as a creator, but one I listened to extensively when I was young. It represents a truly captivating evolution of the electronic music that emerged in the nightclubs of the early and mid 80’s.
So, house music was born in Chicago in the early '80s, followed by techno, which originated in Detroit in the mid-'80s. Next came the Belgian 'New Beat' and the UK house music of the late '80s, both precursor to the wider rave movement, and to 'Hard Beat'. Subsequently, to all the European trance of the early '90s.
Dub techno fuses the repetitive, minimalist rhythms of techno with the ethereal, heavily effect-laden production techniques characteristic of Jamaican dub.
Well, in short, music to keep you going until the end of the night. Hypnotic sequences, deep punchy kick, specific patches, you got the idea.

Announcing: VL Editor for the Yamaha VL1, VL1-m, and VL7 Physical Modeling Synths
"Defective Records Software is happy to announce VL Editor, a new editor supporting version 2 of the Yamaha VL1, VL1-m, and VL7 physical modeling synths, available on both Mac and Windows as both a standalone and as a plugin (VST3, AU and CLAP).
It includes all of the functionality that was available in Yamaha's three original Classic Mac OS editors (Expert, Visual and Analog), including full support for all of the physics parameters that are not accessible from the synths themselves. It's fully bi-directional; edit on either the synth or the software, and the changes are immediately reflected in the other. It also has as several new features like randomization, drag and drop preset rearrangement, element morphing (inspired by Robert Skerjanc's awesome hardware controller), explanatory tooltips (guided by Manny Fernandex's superb VL Tutorial), and many others.
Future support for the VL70-m and the VL soundcards is being considered, as is Linux support. More info: https://defectiverecords.com/vleditor"
