Sequential Prophet 5 by GForce Software - This One Changed Everything!


video upload by The Sampleist

"GForce Software is back with the first official Sequential Prophet 5 plugin created in partnership with Sequential. The history of modern rock and pop music is literally flowing through the architecture of this synthesizer used by all of the greats. Every feature of the the original has been included as well as a number of new enhancements of which one of the most notable is the fact that in addition to the 38 original patches, the total of patches in this version now is a whopping 460. They have also made the synthesizer MPE compatible and a complete set of onboard effects is included.

Join Peter Gagliardi as he guides us through Prophet 5.

Our special thanks to GForce Software for sending over a review copy of the library.

GForce Prophet-5 - Bi-Timbral Sound Bank


video upload by Polydata

"Diving deeper into the sonic possibilities of the GForce / Sequential Prophet-5, the Bi-Timbral Sound Bank features sounds that all utilize the patch stacking ability of this plug-in. First seen in the early 80's on the original Sequential Circuits Prophet-10, the ability to stack two patches together opens up a vast world of tones and textures which were previously not possible.

A bank comprising 30 patches, all of which are "stacked", consisting of two separate sounds.

Unusable Engineering Experiments | New Synth Modes + 2 Unreleased FX


video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A little preview of some things I am currently working on. Everything here is still experimental, so controls, behavior and probably a few ideas may change before release.

The bass drone chord comes from Partials & Discrepancies using an upcoming cross-voice FM mode, where the output of each voice FM-modulates the oscillator of the next voice.

It is also using a new Live View mode that shows the actual partial settings of one active voice as it moves through the slots. When that voice fades out, the display moves on to another active voice.

The live played part is Curves & Membranes played from a ROLI Seaboard Rise 2, using an experimental MPE Expression Mode together with a coming 4-voice paraphonic mode.

The rhythmic melody comes from two unreleased effects:

Residual Breakdown is a transistor fuzz emulation that can move into self-oscillation as the input disappears. The oscillation can be quantized and via the controls, slot-sequenced, which is generating the basic melody here.

Quadrant Modulator is a ring modulator using the Curves & Membranes oscillator design. One instance is using quantized, slot-sequenced ring modulation to keep the result around the key of the track. Another is running host-synced with its slot sequencer clocked to the DAW, creating the changing rhythmic level-cutting effect.

There are no release dates yet, but the current plan is to get these updates and new plugins out sometime in September 2026.

I was actually supposed to spend this time preparing my VAT filings. Procrastinating that has, unfortunately for the tax authorities, been very productive for the plugins.

Parallel mode with Span setting 1 Activates all eight channels on each gate - just like "Unison" mode on a classic poly.

Also, enjoy a new visual score by Norman Freund, realized sonically by Del!

/ norman-freund
/ user-780024068

Here is Del's full description of the realization:"

"When I first encountered Norman Freund's score, I noticed the shapes were sketched quite roughly. In order to implement the score in a structured way, I made the decision to 'quantize' the original drawing to a grid. I hope I have suceeded in maintaining Norman's intent for the piece.

I decided on a grid of 64 'bars' at 120 bpm (each bar 2 seconds) Total time = 128 secs - 2:08

I identified common types of graphic entities in the score which would act in a similar sonic way and decided that there would be no implication of pitch in the score, just timing.

Colors were assigned to each type of graphic for visual and compositional reference:
Red - vertical line with spiral top
Light Blue - vertical line
Pink - horizontal line
Dark Blue - horizontal line with circle incorporating clockwise arrow indicator
Orange - rounded rectangle
Green - divergent lines (crescendo mark) and convergent lines (decrescendo mark)

Each entity in the score was recorded from a modular setup and arranged in the DAW (Reaper).
The sound palette came from the various reels of the project iterations.

Below are descriptions of two different ways in which sounds were mapped to graphics:
1. The Green divergent/convergent lines are the most persistent entities in this score. They are treated algorithmically. Each green entity has a different splice from "12 string iteration 0 reel". The methodology was to speed up each splice in Morphagene forwards from 0 to 100% (Green light) precisely over the time specified in the quantized score by the divergent lines and then back to 0 in the same way as specified by the convergent lines. For this I researched and discovered the Rossum Control Forge and used this to apply the precise voltage over time. An interesting technique learned and likely not one I would have considered otherwise.
2. The Red shape is a composed (ie non-algorithmic) collage of the individual sounds from iteration 3.

Other modules used were QPAS, Wogglebug and Mordax Data."

Synthesizers.com First DIY Kit is HERE!! The Q109 Envelope Generator Kit



via Synthesizers.com

"We're so excited to share with you the Q109 Envelope Generator DIY KIT!!

The Q109 Envelope Generator is one of the basic modules every synthesizer must have.

It generates a voltage envelope in response triggered by a gate signal from a keyboard, oscillator or other source.

The envelope voltage is used to control amplifiers, filters, oscillators and other modules.

The operator has complete manual control over Attack time, Decay time, Sustain level, and Release time.

A manual gate button can be used to trigger the Envelope Generator at any time, and an LED gives a visual indication of the output level."

Output feeds back into input, via a reverb (my micro Dervish); Pamela's New Workout sequences record, play, pitch, reverse, start position and length across both channels. The module becomes its own sound source. I wasn't sure if I should try and make a sample pack from this one. If you want that, let me know in the comments!

Tracker TRX-12: Thirteen Minutes of Auto-Remixing Dub Techno!


video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"TRACKER TRX-12: https://www.electronisounds.com/trx-1...
'Dub Continuum' Sound Bank for TRACKER TRX-12: https://www.electronisounds.com/track...

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH DUB CONTINUUM?
1. Render your own 'Inspiration Starter Kits.' Every time you render a pattern, you get a brand new, RANDOM set of full stems — from scratch. Render a pattern several times, LISTEN to the exported results, and pick your favorite groove. Then start a fresh TRX-12 session and use those stems to build a chilled, dubby techno track that's all your own. Layer in more loops from the Dub Continuum pack, the TRX-12 sequence presets, or your own sample arsenal to flesh out your track.

2. Use the loops on their own. Skip the project entirely and use the loop content just like you'd use ANY loops to write your own tracks.

3. Feed it YOUR sounds. Add your own 8-bar loops (110 BPM, key of F minor) into the Dub Continuum folders — and hear your own content get randomly remixed into the session!

4. Chill out and just listen. Sit back and enjoy self-generating, endlessly evolving, chilled dubby techno. Fair warning: you're likely to get inspired and want to start working with these deliciously chilled samples yourself.

5. Learn the Grid. Use the project as one huge tutorial and learning session — and see firsthand how many different Step FX commands are used in a real-world TRX-12 project.

Building a Minimal Performance System with OXI E16


video upload by OXI Instruments

"In this video we break down a small but deep performance setup built around the OXI E16 and the Elektron Tonverk — the core idea being that constraint creates focus. Instead of chasing more gear or more parameters, we map a handful of controls to a handful of sounds and build a pattern out of very few elements, performed live rather than programmed in advance.

What's covered:
The concept behind designing "small systems" — fewer knobs, fewer sounds, more intentional movement.
Mapping the E16 to control drums and a few additional sound sources on the Tonverk.
Routing and shaping send effects live, as part of the performance rather than as a mix afterthought.
A randomize trick: smashing everything into chaos on the fly, then snapping back instantly to a saved, safe starting point — so we can take risks without losing the pattern.
This is less a tutorial and more a way of thinking about performance setups: constrain first, then explore inside the constraint.
