diceFriend is absolute madness 👹 watch your volume knob! 🔥

video upload by Richard Devine

"@sigilinstruments diceFriend is absolute madness 👹 watch your volume knob! 🔥"

Note, this appears to be the first post to feature diceFriend.



Pics and details via Perfect Circuit

"Experimental by design, diceFriend by Sigil Instruments is a compact standalone synthesizer with manifold personalities that will be particularly appreciated by those who enjoy adventurous instruments. Stripped of screens and menus, diceFriend centers intuitive gesture and listening as the core of the music-making experience. The sound and behavior of diceFriend are entirely determined by the installed OS, and there are already more than a dozen varieties, ranging from pulsar and modal synthesis to engines inspired by Rob Hordijk's Blippoo Box and Peter Blasser's chaotic instruments.

Each enclosure is a hand-crafted wood piece, so every unit has its own unique look. Control-wise, it features three brass touchpads and six unlabeled knobs that, together with a SHIFT layer, provide direct access to twelve parameters. The namesake DICE button is a randomizer driven by a PRNG combined with thermal noise. Pressing it randomizes all twelve parameters as well as internal synth variables, setting the instrument into an entirely new state—and with 281 trillion possible states, you can be sure never to exhaust the options. Cleverly, after a roll, the knobs pick up from their randomized values only once moved, so nothing jumps abruptly.

A long press of the DICE button switches between two OS-contingent modes. AS (Autonomous State) typically treats diceFriend as a generative playground, with chaotic attractors and Rungler-style shift registers driving the algorithm. TS (Touch Synthesis) mode activates the three brass pads for tactile interaction, where pressure and hold time shape dynamics and timbre.

Lastly, a 3.5mm stereo line output sits alongside two CV inputs on banana jacks that act as clock, trigger, or modulation sources depending on the OS. Over USB-C, diceFriend appears as a class-compliant MIDI device with clock send and receive, and it can double as a CV-to-MIDI interface for other gear. Boasting plentiful stochastic adventures for sonic explorers of all stripes, diceFriend from Sigil Instruments is a musical companion you want to roll with again and again.

Critter & Guitari Microphone 3: Go Collect Some Sounds

video upload by Critter & Guitari

https://critterandguitari.com/mic

"Meet Microphone 3 from Critter & Guitari: a battery-powered microphone for collecting sounds wherever you go.

Since it runs on two AAA batteries, Microphone 3 doesn’t need phantom power. That means you can plug it straight into all kinds of gear, like field recorders, guitar pedals, synths, mixers, and audio interfaces. Run your voice through a delay pedal, capture birdsong on a portable recorder, or feed your room straight into a sampler.

The gain knob is where things get fun. Turn it to set the mic’s sensitivity for quiet whispers or loud rooms, or crank it all the way up to use it as a gritty distortion effect.

It mounts on any mic stand or boom, and it’s built with a durable powder-coated aluminum enclosure."

Curves & Membranes 1.5 - New filters, expanded orbital modulators + more for the Beizer-wave synth

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"Curves & Membranes 1.5.0 adds two new filter modes, new orbital modulation patterns and polyphonic glide to the 'everything is visual' bezier waveform synthesizer for macOS and Windows.

In the first part of this video, I run a simple sequence from the Arturia Keystep and play around with some of the new features, mainly the new filter modes on a patch with some twisted and eased orbital modulators.In the middle part I play it in 4 voice paraphonic mode to show off internal overdrive.

In the end I run the first sequence again.

Regarding the two new filter modes:
The new Filter Bank mode has 32 bands spaced in minor thirds, with per-band feedback and drive. All three filter points shape the bank, so you can move several resonant regions around at once. The new Pressure mode takes a different approach: each band opens in response to the signal going into it, with controls for sensitivity, recovery and drive. The original Membrane filter is still there too.

A bit on the orbs:
Every orbital modulator now has Easing and Twist. Easing speeds up and slows down different parts of the movement while keeping the overall cycle time. Twist turns the circular path into a horizontal or vertical figure-eight. Both work with ellipse, rotation and the envelope-style half-turns.

High Defininition Modular Colourizer / Posterizer Video FX Processor

video upload by LoFiFuture

https://www.lofifuture.shop/product/h...

"Yet to be named! This is a prototype I for a new type of glitch colourizer / posterizer I have been doing research and development on for the better part of a year. It takes your standard high definition signal and splits it into 7 differential pairs that can be disconnected one by one and re-patched in all the wrong ways! It provides a similar colourise effect to what I find in a lot of HD scalers, but takes it to a whole new level!

It will happily process a 1080p 60fps video signal as well as a bunch of lower resolutions.

There are 14 switches that disconnect the lines of data, 14 switches that bus and of these lines of data together and 28 3.5mm jacks that are the 14 differential and outputs.

A lot of colourise effects can be accessed with just the toggle switches, no need to patch any cables for quick fx!"

Moog press release follows:


MOOG MUSIC LAUNCHES MODEL 112 AND MODEL 210, AMplifiers Designed for electronic instruments

Two all-analog FRFR systems combine full-range amplification, integrated four-channel mixing, professional connectivity, and expandable stereo operation for synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, and modern performance rigs

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (October 27, 2026) – Moog Music® today announced Model 112 and Model 210, two full-range, flat-response (FRFR) instrument amplifiers purpose-built for synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, and modern electronic performance rigs.

Model 112 combines a portable 12-inch format with 440W RMS bi-amplified power for studios, rehearsals, personal monitoring, and live performance. Model 210 steps up to a 550W RMS, 2.5-way design with dual 10-inch woofer and deeper low frequency extension for larger stages and more demanding performance rigs.

Both models deliver an all-analog amplification path, 4 stereo inputs and an integrated four-channel stereo mixer, balanced PA connectivity, Bluetooth® streaming, headphone monitoring, and Stereo Link for building a two-amplifier stereo system. Together, Model 112 and Model 210 extend Moog's focus on electronic performance from the instrument itself to how it is monitored and heard on stage, in rehearsal, and in the studio.

"Every great electronic instrument has its own sonic identity," said Joe Richardson, President at Moog Music. "Model 112 and Model 210 were designed to preserve that identity, not color it. From the unmistakable warmth of a Moog synthesizer to the transient snap of a drum machine, these amplifiers allow the true character of the instrument to come through. Musicians work hard to shape their sound. They deserve amplification that delivers it honestly, consistently, and exactly as intended."

MODEL 112: everyday Versatility
Model 112 delivers full-range electronic-instrument amplification in a portable format designed to move between studio, rehearsal space, performance, and personal monitoring setups. A 440W RMS bi-amplified system drives a 12-inch woofer and 1-inch compression driver with a frequency response of 40Hz–20kHz. A top carry handle makes Model 112 the more portable choice for musicians who regularly move between creative and performance environments.

MODEL 210: Command the stage
Model 210 is the higher-output system in the range, designed for larger stages and demanding electronic performance rigs. A 550W RMS bi-amplified, 2.5-way design combines a 1-inch compression driver with dual 10-inch woofers, one woofer for full range, the second focusing on low frequencies extending down to 35Hz ensuring powerful response for synthesizer bass, electronic drums, sound design, and bass modeling systems. Full-grip side handles and removable casters support transport and stage position, while two Model 210 amplifiers can be connected using Stereo Link for performance setups.

"UPDATE NEWS: only a few hours i saw this on audiosex by the dev: 'Hi guys, sorry for this fantastic community here at Audiosex but I've just retired the project. Already put offline the website and will be working for myself only from now on. I have been bashed by the IP police and AI purists in another forum, with vitriolic comments and I lost all the motivation to keep going. Sorry for the ones who are still interested in the plugins, however TUS will be covering the same ground (except the additive synth and the sampler) very soon from what I understand so you should be well covered.'

so lets hope the dev bring this project up.

"Every now and then a synth comes along that transports you back into a musty early 2000s studio (complete with ciggy holes in the carpet and everything) and i mean that in the best possible way.

Basically Swen2 is a SH-101 on meth?

The interaction between the oscillators, that insane filter and the sequencer got me headboppin' here like i'm watching Wayne's World.

Anyway, captured a whole arrangement in one take and figured i share it so here's a 4-minute recording.

All drums from Octatrack.

Elektron Tonverk is a Granular Ambient Machine - Sound Pack by A Force Truly Evil

video upload by A Force Truly Evil

"Available here: https:https://sci-fiaudio.com/product/granu...

EVOLVING MULTISAMPLED INSTRUMENTS AND PURPOSE-BUILT GRANULAR SOURCES FOR AMBIENT, ELECTRONICA & EXPERIMENTAL SOUND DESIGN.

Granular + Ambient contains 64 multisampled instruments — 16 Basses, 24 Pads, 16 Polyphonic instruments and 8 Arpeggios — built from 380+ carefully selected samples, together with 99 dedicated Granular Sources specifically created for Tonverk's granular engine.

The pack is built around two complementary approaches to sound design: rich, playable multisampled instruments and purpose-built material for granular synthesis**. The 64 multisampled instruments provide a broad collection of musical and atmospheric sounds, while the 99 Granular Sources are designed to give Tonverk's granular engine the detailed, varied material it needs to produce deep, evolving textures.

99 Granular Sources

The granular material is a central part of the pack. **These are not simply conventional samples intended to be processed afterwards. Each source has been specifically created with granular synthesis in mind**, combining internal tonal movement, evolving timbres, transients, harmonic variation, tonal shifts and contrasting textures.

This gives the granular engine plenty of interesting material to work with. A single source can be transformed into **long, evolving ambient passages, atmospheric soundscapes and complex textures**, with enough internal variation to remain interesting over time rather than becoming static or repetitive.

The sources can range from subtle, slowly moving atmospheres to dense, ethereal and highly animated granular textures. They are particularly effective for creating **long-form ambient sounds and evolving soundscapes from a single sample**, making them ideal for exploring Tonverk's granular synthesis capabilities.
