"We're revealing our Monoplex Sequencer at Superbooth 2026. Come check it out at our booth O400!"
KOMA Elektronik Monoplex
Melodic Microtonal Sequencer
Berlin-based synth makers KOMA Elektronik reveal Monoplex, a performance-driven Eurorack sequencer built for evolving melodic control. Inspired by the Komplex Sequencer, it distills its hands-on philosophy into a focused, single-channel design packed with features. Patch everything into everything and let the melodies evolve.
Every core parameter can be voltage-controlled, opening the door to endlessly shifting yet fully deterministic sequences. From tight Berlin-school patterns to generative melodic systems, Monoplex encourages experimentation.
At its heart is a significantly expanded quantizer. Beyond chromatic, major, and minor modes, Monoplex allows you to upload your own scales via MIDI SysEx using our browser-based tool. Choose from thousands of microtonal scales or create and audition your own instantly.
A dedicated MIDI-note capture mode lets incoming notes define the active scale on the fly. Microtonal scales can also be played on MIDI Synthesizers via Pitch Bend information.
Compact and hands-on, Monoplex delivers an endless supply of melodies and modulations inside your Eurorack system.

Drift DJ Industries Unveils Zero Pocket-Sized Mixing, Playback and Recording Device
video uploads by Drift DJ Industries
Press release follows:


Drift DJ Industries Unveils Zero, a pocket-sized mixing, playback and recording device for djs and electronic musicians
CHICAGO, April 13, 2026. Drift DJ Industries announces Zero, a palm-sized, battery-powered, all-in-one audio mixing, performance and recording system. With its portability and instant-on playability, Zero’s standalone 2-deck DJ system empowers DJs to break outside of the booth and bring their sound to any space. Through it’s DAWless and hybrid DJ-oriented external device sync, audio signal mixing, deep routing configuration and built-in recorder, Zero collapses key functions into a single machine, reducing the amount of hardware required to craft any sound.
Zero: Portable DJ, DAWless, Mixing and Recording
Big-Rig DJ-Features in the Palm of Your Hand
Don’t be fooled by Zero’s small size. Its robust feature set includes DJ-quality time-stretching, dedicated headphone cues, filters and FX for each playback deck. With physical controls organized in a familiar-two channel DJ mixer layout, our device is perfect for DJs who want to forgo larger laptop and controller-based setups while retaining the tactile feedback not found on mobile apps. Leave the cables and power supplies at home. Never get a meeting invite in the middle of a mix.
Compact Machine with DAW-Like Powers
Zero’s wildly-flexible signal routing UI lets users control every link in the signal path. Glue together any collection of music-making gear by routing signals from aux busses and the decks between the analog and USB I/O ports.
For example: Route audio from a Dirtywave M8 and a Roland S-1 into Zero’s analog input ports, and individually trim and EQ each device. Bus those signals together and send/return to a Hologram Chroma Console. Route that signal into the crossfader to mix the effected M8 and S-1 sound with the DJ decks. Add an OXI E-16 and map individual knobs to the M8 and S-1 bus’s post-fader, EQ controls and bi-modal filter cutoff (input control mapping is slated for post-launch release). Record several minutes of knob-tweaking as a .wav file to Zero's internal storage. Re-import that .wav file, add cuepoints and a beatgrid, and loop and layer it in with other inputs and DJ playback.
Built to Evolve
Zero is a new hardware platform and a custom Linux distribution running front-end software from our own publicly-available open source SDK. It ships with the DJ playback, library, external sync, signal routing and recording features, and it includes on-device software management for easy install of future updates. Planned updates include control input mapping, video output for streamers, third-party library support (including rekordbox and Engine DJ) and accessibility features. It fits in a fanny pack, but Zero will develop new capabilities by the truckload.
See our device specs and release roadmap for more info.
Meet Zero in Person
Stop by our exhibitor tables at the following events:
SynthFest France, Nantes, April 17th-19th
Superbooth, Berlin, May 7th-9th
Pricing and Availability
Zero is in presale and priced at $899, with an expected release date of Summer 2026.

Additional Signal Sounds listings
"We say...
A pre-owned Sequential Trigon-6 in very good condition. It comes with original packaging and power cable
Manufacturer's description
Experience the Power of Three Oscillators and a Ladder Filter with the Trigon-6 Module
The Sequential Trigon-6 desktop module delivers the same massive sound and hands-on sonic control as the Trigon-6 Keyboard. It features the same pure analog signal path with discrete oscillators and filters, and the same high-quality digital effects. It also has the same intuitive layout with full-sized knobs and switches that make it quick and easy to shape new sounds.
The Trigon-6 module sounds huge — just like the keyboard, because it is the same six voice polyphonic instrument, just in a smaller form factor. And if you want even more polyphony, you can use the poly chain feature to link any two Trigon-6s for a stunning twelve-voice synth!
A Sound That is Bold and Familiar
The Trigon-6 is Sequential’s polyphonic take on the classic, thick and creamy, 3-oscillator-plus-ladder-filter analog sound that defined the dawn of the synth era. It’s a sound that bridges genres and styles — now refined and redefined with Sequential’s own modern imprint.

LoFi Future - Fragmenter HDMI glitch FX processor
video upload by LoFiFuture
"Available to order here: https://www.lofifuture.shop/product/f...
Song: LoFi Future - Hydrazine https://lofifuture.bandcamp.com/album...
The Fragmenter is a HDMI based circuit bent video FX processor / glitch colorizer.
The unit features 40 circuit bends on 16 potentiometers and 4 arcade buttons. The 4 arcade buttons each have a corresponding latching toggle switch and a knob to fade between two different circuit bents per button. The 16 potentiometers all fade between two FX and are off in the 12 o'clock position.
This thing is great at adding gritty digital texture to video. Feed it low resolution video sources and it goes wild picking up mpeg artefacts and making them stand out.
The setup for this unit is incredibly simple with a HDMI input and output it is fit for todays world of live and studio video without the need for any finicky adapters. There is also a VGA input that is great for connecting directly to one of my analog VGA glitch processors.
The unit is setup to output a 60fps 1080p signal and will take in virtually any resolution input signal and scale it up to 1080p.
When all FX are set to off it passes a completely unaffected, pixel perfect image."

MICROFREAK & PIGMENTS 7 DEMO
video upload by elz production
"Microfreak:
We can think of many reasons to freak over the MicroFreak. Yes, it is small, but it does offer some of the most unique sounds we’ve heard when it comes to budget synths.
If you’re new to the synth world, you really can’t go wrong with this instrument and it’s a great option with which to learn your skills. It’s well-built, comes with plenty of sound options, and the interface is intuitive.
Synths are evolving and growing in power every year. While some of us might love the crispness of an analog synth, as well as their bulky size, we still love the fact that you can have a powerful synth that can fit in a traveling case.
It makes us wonder about what the future holds for Arturia and the budget synth market in general.
Pigments 7:
Arturia have done it again. Pigments has grown in terms of features and become leaner and meaner under the hood, with those CPU and workflow improvements. It retains its place at the top table of software synthesizers, sitting alongside the likes of Omnisphere, Absynth 6 and UVI’s Falcon.
For the MPE enthusiasts amongst you, Pigments further cements its place as a showcase instrument for such endeavours. Pair it up with an Osmose, Rise or even Arturia’s own PolyBrute 12, and Pigments 7 becomes next-level superb.
If I had one quibble, it would be the lack of day-one support for AstroLab. They always seem to be playing catch-up, which will leave AstroLab owners slightly frustrated that they can’t take advantage of these new sounds straight away."

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.

Touché: Don Buchla’s Rare Polyphonic Keyboard Instrument
video upload by Sarah Belle Reid
Follow-up to Sarah Belle Reid plays the Buchla Touché
"In this video, I explore an extremely rare electronic instrument called the Touché, created by Buchla and Associates in 1980. Filmed at the Buchla Archives in Vancouver, this is a rare opportunity to hear and see an instrument that very few people have ever encountered firsthand. Only around five Touchés are known to have been built, and very few remain functional today. Because of this, the instrument has remained largely absent from public performance and documentation. This video helps bridge that gap by sharing the Touché’s sound, design, and historical context.
While Don Buchla is best known for his modular synthesizers such as the 100 and 200 Series, he also created a number of non-modular, computer-based instruments that explored new relationships between performance, software, and sound. The Touché is one such instrument. Conceived by Don Buchla in collaboration with composer David Rosenboom, it is a bi-timbral, eight-voice polyphonic keyboard instrument that combines digital sound generation, analog processing, and computer-mediated control.
The video begins with a historical overview of how the Touché grew out of Buchla’s computer-controlled instruments of the 1970s, including the 300 Series systems. From there, the video moves into a detailed walkthrough of Touché’s sound architecture, including many musical demos.
This video was created in collaboration with the Buchla Archives, an organization dedicated to the thorough and thoughtful documentation and preservation of Donald Buchla’s work.
Special thank you to Ryan Gaston and David Rosenboom for research assistance."

ASM Leviasynth | Sounds and Key Features | Synth Universe
video upload by Synth Universe
"A musical exploration of Leviasynth, Ashun Sound Machines’ successor to the Hydrasynth. Leviasynth is an 8 oscillator algorithmic synthesizer with analog and digital filters and five types of synthesis.
All the sounds featured in this video were created by me and are included in the Leviasynth factory presets (except Synfluctuate and PD keys which may be released by ASM as part of future banks). If you own or try out a Leviasynth, you can browse patches by sound designer and select Synth Universe to find all my sounds. Here I have often emphasized sounds that make use of the analog filter, showing the ability of Leviasynth to emulate analog synths, as this is one of the first things I want to know when assessing a hybrid synth. I also feature patches that highlight the other types of synthesis including FM and phase distortion.
This is a deep and powerful ‘monster’ of a synth and so far I have really only scratched the surface of its capabilities. There are too many features to list here so go to Ashun Sound Machines website to find out more.
Disclaimer: ASM sent me a pre-production unit for the purposes of sound design, but otherwise they had no input into the making of this video or the opinions expressed within.
No external enhancement or processing was applied to the sounds in this video: you are hearing them as output directly from the synth.
Note: Leviasynth does have a powerful arpeggiator and sequencer, but as they were still being finalized during the time I created these patches they are not featured in this video."

via Viscount
LEGEND ‘70s introduces, for the first time, the concept of MODULAR STAGE PIANO. According to your needs, you can now choose the right combination of sound generating modules with dedicated knobs and buttons. Currently the modules ELECTRIC PIANO, ACOUSTIC PIANO, CLAVI and SOUND COLLECTION are available, while many others will be available in the future, within the “ALWAYS GROWING” family. Moreover to the standard PROGRAM and EFFECTS modules an optional EXTERNAL module is available to making the instrument flexible and very powerful. The design of LEGEND ‘70s Hammer Action Keyboard perfectly matches the instrument’s sound generators. The 3 contact sensors, under each key, are able to detect the corresponding movement with the highest precision.
For the more demanding musician the LEGEND ‘70s Artist-W also offers a graded hammer arrangement where their weight becomes lighter as you climb up the keyboard.
In addition, as with the traditional acoustic grand piano, the Legend Artist-W keyboard is enhanced with real wood piano keys. These keys are made of carefully selected and seasoned wood to eliminate any defect or deformation and provide maximum uniformity and stability over time.

SYNTH-8
"A real polyphonic synthesizer with character.
Synth-8 is a two-oscillators eight-voices synthesizer with a faithful reproduction of a classic American multimode analog filter with saturation, 12dB and 24dB roll off and gritty resonance. The synth architecture is easy to understand and operate but has unique features: classical waveforms with wave shaping and detuned doubling of the oscillators with “Fat” modes, dedicated envelope for the noise, Ring Mod, Hard Sync for all oscillator modes, velocity controls for filters and envelopes. Finally, the Unison modes allow stacking up to 8 voices: with “Fat” oscillators this makes a total of 32 detuned oscillators at once! The module panel provides quick access to user’s preferred parameters by four assignable knobs. These can be also used to tweak many other parameters arranged in rows that can be navigated through dedicated buttons.
The Legend ’70s Editor has a whole screen to control the synthesizer in real-time and make the editing of new patches simple as having a real panel in your hands. The synthesizer comes with lots of pre-sets that can be selected and tweaked and stored in the Legend ’70s programs.
Last but not least, the Synth-8 module also offers a dedicated arpeggiator section, capable of cyclically playing the notes in the desired order, and 4×16 sequences that can be assigned to the generation parameters."

Tangible Waves Mini Drone System demo
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by NOISEBUG
"This week we are restocking the full line of Tangible Waves, the small but mighty modular format equally powerful to its much larger counterparts.
Some incredibly unique modules exist within the Tangible Waves universe, such as the the Drone38- a bank of 18 oscillators designed for swarms, drones and lush soundscapes.
We designed a mini system around the DRONE38, which is now available on our Reverb shop - https://reverb.com/item/94056769-tang...
Look out for more mini-modular systems and video spotlights in the very near future. For more info on the most affordable way to experience modular, contact Noisebug.

"A small but powerful drone system of Tangible Waves modules, including:
POWER - the most simple base of an AE modular system. Contains the voltage regulation (5V) for the power supply of the modules, two stereo In/out-sockets (3.5mm minijack) for audio out and general in/out like CV, gate, a stereo headphone amplifier
DRONE38 - a sound generator with 18 oscillators in total, organized in six groups of three oscillators each. 12 of them can be switched between sawtooth and triangle waves, 6 are fixed sawtooth oscillators. The oscillators are not meant to be controlled by CVs, but only set static with a knob. By mixing them, very dense drones and clusters can be created.
DRONX - a special mixer designed especially for the DRONE38 module; it has 6 input channels with sound processing capabilities: a tone control with bass and treble control, a distortion, and finally a dual delay with different algorithms.
2VCA - contains two separate voltage controlled amplifiers; the classic module to shape the volume of a sound that is fed to IN by a control voltage, e.g. from an ENV to the CV input. DC/CV or audio operation modes, an additional knob per VCA for attenuation.
SVFILTER - offers control of cutoff frequency, resonance and CV attenuation; two signal inputs for different signal levels control the "drive" of the module. This filter has a significant self resonance and also a very quick response to cutofffrequency changes. LP, BP, and HP output.
LFO (2x) - generates modulation voltages mostly below the audio range. PWM modulation for the Pulse out, two frequency ranges (SLOW / FAST), three separate output signals: Square (even duty cycle), TRIANGLE/Sawtooth (switchable), Pulse
NOISE - two types of noise with A output generating analog noise (a fluctuating voltage between about 1-4V) and D output generating digital noise, (a random changing 0V / 5V). The RATE knob controls the color of the noise, which goes from almost white noise to a rather harsh and digital sound.
2S&H - "freezes" the input voltage with a trigger input. Typically used for random CV patterns if a noise signal is fed to the input and triggered e.g. by an LFO.
2ATT/CV - simple level attenuation for any kind of signal. Voltage mode switch gives manually controllable CV on the outputs, the INV outputs provide the inverted value of the input.
System is pre-built into a 1x16 Bamboo case and includes switchable 9V PSU, 2 packs of patchwire, and 1 pack of colored knobs."

"This week we are restocking the full line of Tangible Waves, the small but mighty modular format equally powerful to its much larger counterparts.
Some incredibly unique modules exist within the Tangible Waves universe, such as the the Drone38- a bank of 18 oscillators designed for swarms, drones and lush soundscapes.
We designed a mini system around the DRONE38, which is now available on our Reverb shop - https://reverb.com/item/94056769-tang...
Look out for more mini-modular systems and video spotlights in the very near future. For more info on the most affordable way to experience modular, contact Noisebug.

"A small but powerful drone system of Tangible Waves modules, including:POWER - the most simple base of an AE modular system. Contains the voltage regulation (5V) for the power supply of the modules, two stereo In/out-sockets (3.5mm minijack) for audio out and general in/out like CV, gate, a stereo headphone amplifier
DRONE38 - a sound generator with 18 oscillators in total, organized in six groups of three oscillators each. 12 of them can be switched between sawtooth and triangle waves, 6 are fixed sawtooth oscillators. The oscillators are not meant to be controlled by CVs, but only set static with a knob. By mixing them, very dense drones and clusters can be created.

CONCRETE [ EARLY DEMO ]
video upload by Sasha DZA
"PRE-ORDER OPEN FOR CONCRETE: https://www.lightreft.jp/product-page...
AVAILABLE AT A SPECIAL EARLY PRICE
In this video, we share the first real world tests of Concrete, without aiming for a polished or final demonstration.
We explore how the device works as the final stage in the signal chain, as a master effect, and within a mix on an individual instrument. Throughout the video, moments where bypass is engaged are clearly marked, so it’s easy to hear exactly when Concrete is affecting the signal.
Special attention is given to saturation. We’re exploring how different drive modes interact with dynamics, not as an obvious effect, but as an integral part of the signal path.
We also demonstrate sync mode and stereo operation. The filter reveals a particularly interesting character in stereo, where the interaction between channels adds depth, movement, and a sense of space that is difficult to achieve in mono.
Preorders for Concrete are now open on our website at a reduced price for the first drop. The price will increase for future batches.
https://www.lightreft.jp/"

"Concrete is a next generation compact effects processor that combines digital sound engines with a true analog filter. Each channel features its own analog high pass and low pass filters, designed for precise and musical sound shaping.
Several drive types come preloaded, while additional engines can be downloaded from our website and loaded into free slots, allowing users to build a truly personal sound.
Channels can be used independently or linked together for cohesive stereo processing.
Concrete supports full MIDI control and naturally pairs with Monolit as part of a unified studio and performance ecosystem.
During the preorder phase, Concrete is available at a reduced price for those who want to support the project from the start.
The price will increase at release.
The first Concrete drop is planned for the first half of 2026."

Introducing SQUID-3 by Acustica Audio
video uploads by Acustica Audio
Playlist:
1. SQUID-3 - You don’t need make-up when the sound is this good.
2. SQUID-3 Explained | Complete Walkthrough
Quick No-Talk Synth Demo
video upload by Autodafe
"Here’s a fast, no-talk demo of SQUID-3 (SQ-3), the new synth by Acustica Audio. This video is all about listening: no voice-over, no explanations — just sounds and visuals so you can get a first impression of what this synth can do.
In this demo I’m simply showcasing a selection of patches and musical textures. I’m not going into technical details or deep sound-design features this time — think of this as a relaxed, musical overview rather than a tutorial.
If you’re curious about the engine, workflow, or a more in-depth breakdown, feel free to leave a comment and I may cover it in a future video. For now, just sit back and enjoy the sound."
SQUID-3 is a forward-thinking synthesizer born from Acustica’s groundbreaking MAREA series, available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats. Built to respond better than a real instrument, SQUID-3 gives you the speed to create instantly, and the depth to design without limits. It’s fluid, focused, and sonically honest.
This isn’t a vintage emulation, or a collection of pretty presets under reverb.
SQUID-3 fuses algorithmic modeling with advanced convolution, capturing the behavior of analog gear - better than gear does.
SQUID-3 is not another virtual synth.
It’s a new breed - designed to sound finished, even before the FX.
Every stage of its engine, from oscillator to output, was built to make raw synthesis sound like a mastered record.
SQUID-3 is available in two separate editions:
• the Standard (3-D, multi-page) edition, hardware-inspired interface with depth, lighting, and tactile realism for an immersive studio feel.
• a Flat (2-D version, single-page) edition, A clean, flat design optimized for speed, built for maximum graphic efficiency, where all controls are summarized on a single page"
