40 new presets for the Waldorf Protein synthesizer, built around its powerful wavetable architecture to deliver rich, layered, and evolving sounds.
Protein's unique approach to wavetable synthesis opens up a vast sonic palette - and "Prism" explores that space with a focus on texture, movement, and atmosphere.
'Prism' is tailored for ambient, cinematic, electronic, and experimental music production.
Whether you're sculpting immersive soundscapes or adding subtle movement to your compositions, these sounds bring depth and emotional weight to your work.
Synth leads, Pad , Arp, evolving textures, and hybrid tones,FX.
Designed for cinematic, ambient, and experimental contexts
Works seamlessly in both professional and creative production workflows
What's included:
40 Presets with detailed loading instructions.
All sounds are presented as dry demos - no external effects or post-processing applied - so you can accurately evaluate each preset using Waldorf Protein's own effects section.
"🌪️ Industrial Reverie is a collection of 50 dark presets for Korg multi/poly. The bank consists of 10 arps, 10 basses, 10 drones, 10 synths and 10 pads. The patches cover a wide range of tones: huge and thick, clean and noisy, long and short, aggressive and atmospheric.
🌒 The soundset emphasizes adjustable tone dynamics, allowing the presets to be used in a wide variety of genres. They are suitable for ambient, industrial, drum and bass, classic dubstep, jungle, cinematic, IDM, and others. The sounds were inspired by industrialization space and desert.
🎛️ All presets have Velocity, ModWheel, X/Y Pad, and Macros assignments. Velocity controls volume and filter. ModWheel adds expression, it makes the sound brighter or adds vibrato. 4 Macros control the level of the Timbre, Movement Depth, Noise Level, Drive and other parameters. X/Y Pad changes tone, adds noise or distortion, and alters other parameters.
"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking Three different songs focusing on the inspiration of delay and reverb.
MAS Distribution sent over the GFI Solis Ventus, a delay and reverb pedal, for me to try for free. Take that for what you will.
I've already used the Solis Ventus in other video here, so there was no particular need to create a video focused on it. However, I usually explore new gear by just placing it on the table and seeing what comes out. I thought maybe nothing would come of it, or maybe I'd make a single song. In the end, I kept writing more and more with it, all in different styles and genres. The reverbs in the Solis Ventus are fine, but there's some real weirdness and magic in the delays, and they kept delighting and surprising me. In the end, I decided to share three songs with you from these explorations, although there's some more on my Patreon.
00:00 - Post-rock with synths instead of guitar 03:52 - Pure ambient with Pluto 06:17 - Rock starting with L1
Ultimately, what I hope comes through is that effects aren't something simply to colour or smooth over a sound; effects can be the very thing that inspires the songwriting process. That's what happened in all of these instances, and more.
Gear used: Arturia Astrolab 37 (keys) GFI Solis Ventus (delay and reverb) Squier Bass VI (bass-guitar hybrid) Line 6 Pod Express Bass (for bass amp sim) Moog Subsequent 37 (mono synth melody) Novation AFX Station (mono synth lead) Modern Sounds Pluto (mini euro synth sandbox) Donner L1 (mono synth random arp) Godin Session Custom '59 (guitar) Strymon Iridium (for guitar amp sim) Union Tone & Transistor Lab (compressor for guitar) Electro-Voice RE-20 (vocal mic) Probably more I'm forgetting
Multi-tracked, mixed in the box (except the Pluto song, which was live to stereo out, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master).

NINA Macro Oscillator Mode - BRAIDS Update! Demo and deep dive with THE UNPERSON video upload by Melbourne Instruments
"The powerful new Macro Oscillator Mode firmware update for Melbourne Instruments' motorised polysynth, NINA, has arrived. This new update adds 45 synthesis waveform models using open-source code from Émilie Gillet’s Mutable Instruments Braids, one of the most celebrated Eurorack synth modules.
This new mode massively expands Nina's sonic capabilities, unlocking a new world of synthesis, from classic analog textures to cutting-edge digital experimentation. Powered by Nina’s innovative architecture, the new Macro Oscillator Mode delivers an incredibly versatile hands-on sound design experience unlike any other.
In this video Melbourne Instruments collaborator THE UNPERSON takes a deep dive into Macro Mode, exploring some of the Macro Oscillator models, and demonstrates just some of the 60 new presets created for this update, exploring the sonic possibilities of the new Macro Oscillator.
To support this update there is a new bank of 60 Macro Presets, designed by Protovolt, Tom Hall and James Terris. Available to download now: https://www.melbourneinstruments.com/..."

Press release follows:
Melbourne Instruments brings Braids engine to desktop NINA analogue polysynth
“NINA has always been an absolute powerhouse of a synth, but this update is insane; OSC 3 gives you 45 Braids macros across 12 voices, plus its massive mod matrix — the range of sounds and textures you can create now knows no bounds.”
- Musician/sound designer PROTOVOLT, 2026
MELBOURNE, VIC, AUSTRALIA: Melbourne Instruments is proud to bring Mutable Instruments’ Braids engine — Emilie Gillet’s celebrated open-source macro oscillator — to its desktop NINA analogue polysynth, as of April 30…
Available as a free firmware update, all 45 Braids synthesis models run across NINA’s 12 true polyphonic voices, each shaped by a dedicated overdrive-able analogue filter. Ultimately, users can now layer Braids and analogue VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) across four multitimbral parts, morph between presets, and sequence everything.
Duly described by Mutable Instruments as a macro oscillator, Braids was a mono Eurorack module: one voice, no internal filter, and no modulation routing. It is now something else entirely on NINA, itself described as the world’s first motorised polysynth. Put it this way: when switching layers, the motorised knobs snap to new positions; morph between patches and they sweep in real time. Meanwhile, modulation routings are all visible on the panel from the moment they are selected. Surely Braids has never been this hands-on.
Digging deeper, each waveform model is shaped by two expressive parameters — Timbre and Color — adapted from the original Braids module. More meaningfully, these controls affect multiple tonal dimensions simultaneously, producing complex, evolving, and musically responsive sounds. Spanning analogue VCO emulation, vowel and formant synthesis, 2-operator FM, physical modelling of strings and wind instruments, wavetable synthesis with smooth interpolation, granular synthesis, and electronic drum simulation, the 45 models evidently elevate NINA to a new level, further cementing itself as a premium analogue polysynth powerhouse for experimental, generative, analogue, and digital synthesis.
Says musician/sound designer James Terris, ending on a high note: “I’ve always described NINA as a beautiful beast — analogue oscillators paired with its super-fat and driven analogue filter make it beastly! But while the existing wavetable oscillator adds a crystal sheen that provides a beauty, the new macro oscillator models expand this tremendously. Indeed, it can go from delicate FM, Karplus-Strong, and even vocal formant textures straight into swarming, stacked super-waves. With this update, it feels like an instant NINA ‘MK-2’!”
Excluding taxes applicable to the territory concerned, NINA is presently priced at $3,299.00 USD in North America; €3,165.00 EUR in the EU; £2,835.00 GBP in the UK; and $3,499.00 USD in Japan, while it is presently priced in Australia at $4,995.00 AU, including GST (Goods and Services Tax) — all via Melbourne Instruments’ growing global network of dealers.
Coinciding with the new NINA MACRO OSC UPDATE firmware release, owners of the world’s first motorised polysynth can also download 60 new presets for free from here: https://www.melbourneinstruments.com/presets#nina
