DELIA Macro Oscillator Mode Update Melbourne Instruments Hybrid Analog Polysynth

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

"Introducing the powerful new Macro Oscillator Mode firmware update for DELIA, Melbourne Instruments' motorized hybrid polysynth. This major enhancement 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 dramatically expands Delia’s sonic capabilities, unlocking a new world of synthesis, from classic analog textures to cutting-edge digital experimentation. Powered by Delia’s innovative architecture, the new Macro Oscillator Mode delivers an incredibly versatile hands-on sound design experience unlike any other.

This video demonstrates just some of the 50 new presets, exploring the sonic possibilities of the new Macro Oscillator.

Each waveform model is shaped by two expressive parameters, Timbre and Color, adapted from the original Braids module. These controls affect multiple tonal dimensions simultaneously, producing evolving, complex, and musically responsive sounds.

Macro Oscillator Mode introduces a diverse palette of waveform types, including:
• classic analog VCO emulation
• additive and digital synthesis
• vowel/formant synthesis
• 2-operator FM
• simulation of string and wind instruments
• wavetable synthesis with smooth XY interpolation
• filtered/colored/pitched noise
• granular synthesis
• electronic drum sound simulation

Elektron Machinedrum FM Field Kit | 150 BPM

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Machinedrum Sample Pack
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
The Elektron Machinedrum, first introduced in the early 2000s, was not simply a drum machine. It was a digital architecture built to generate percussion with surgical precision and metallic sharpness. Its synthesis models produced results that went beyond drum programming, moving into the territory of sound design. Even today, no software plugin has managed to fully replicate its distinctive texture.
This collection captures that uniqueness. Every sample was recorded directly from the Machinedrum itself. No external processing, no layering. What you hear is the circuitry of early Elektron design, distilled into one-shots that highlight the instrument’s raw identity."

The Unique Superpower of the MONOPOLY's MICROTONAL DRONES

video upload by Element433 (a.k.a. Pere Villez)

"Full, deep dive into creating paraphonic microtonal drones on the Korg and Behringer Monopoly paraphonic synthesisers. This creates deep, mesmerising tones and textures. It's a ticket to space.

If you know of other synths that can do this please comment below and I will update this description for everyone.

Getting into Microtonality:
One of the easiest ways to enter the microtonal sphere is to learn to make microtonal paraphonic drones. Once you have the basics, there is an infinite number of microtonal texture to explore, either scales or chords. The Monopoly GUI architecture is unique amongst synthesisers for being able to doing this because of its "chord" store function. If you know of any other synths that can do this too, please comment below and I will update this description for everyone.

Inspired by the drones from the Tanpura and Shruti in Indian music and other cultures, which use drones.

WARNING!!! Once hear this, you can never unhear it.

Effects used on examples: Valhalla SUperMassive reverb
Recorded on location on a small planet off the arm of Orion

New Waldorf Protein Synth Leaked

Follow-up to this post.

Some details:

"Waldorf Music has released the Protein, a new 8-voice polyphonic wavetable synthesizer. The instrument combines the technology of earlier Waldorf instruments with modern features in a compact and portable design.

The Protein utilizes the original ASIC oscillators of the Microwave 1, reproducing its characteristic digital vintage sound at a 250 kHz sample rate and retaining the original 8-bit quantization and aliasing characteristics. Its design and architecture are particularly noteworthy. The Protein boasts a new, portable form factor. Measuring 252 x 170 x 48 mm and weighing just 0.9 kg, it is designed for both studio and mobile use.

The user interface is designed for intuitive operation and direct access. At its core, the Protein offers 8 voices and a flexible 4-layer concept that enables complex sound layering, round-robin modes, and polytimbral operation via MIDI. The Load Layer function allows for quick recombination of existing layers from the library. The device stores over 150 factory presets and up to 250 user presets. Each layer has access to an 8-slot modulation matrix for sound design, complemented by modern support for polyphonic aftertouch. A special feature is the "Flavor" control, which adds organic micro-fluctuations to digital sounds.

Modern features from the Iridium family are also integrated, including an arpeggiator, step sequencer, and various effects. The Protein aims to offer an affordable entry into the world of classic Waldorf wavetable synthesis. The official launch of the Protein will take place on November 27, 2025, at 8 p.m. in Berlin. Following the launch, the artist Zavoloka will perform a 30-minute live set using the Protein."

Macumbista Butterfly Benjolin

via this Vemia listing

Click the auction link on top when you get there for additional listings.

You can find demos in previous posts here.

Here’s a barely-used Butterfly Benjolin from Macumbista’s new “RM” series of Benjolins: a pair of Rob Hordijk’s oft-copied Benjolin synthesizers in a distinctive cigar box enclosure, made under license and with several improvements by Macumbista Instruments and Frog Leg Synthesis. The most obvious enhancement is the ring modulator now standard in Macumbista’s Benjolin designs, which greatly expands the timbral possibilities. XOR-ing signals can be a nice substitute for RM in a pitch, but it’s great to have the real thing and really dial your sounds in. Patching two ring modulators in series opens up some wild sounds. Within its deceptively simple architecture, you’ll find ample opportunity for sound design, strange loops, and a fair bit of chaos. I’ve just never had the *grá* for R2R/digital shift registers/runglers that so many of my peers have. I gave it a chance, and now I’ll let it go to someone similarly curious, or to one of those obsessives out there. If you’re curious about these, there are loads of videos about the Benjolin on YouTube that will give you a sense of what it can do. There aren’t many videos of the “Butterfly Benjolin V4,” which has the ring modulator and additional enhancements, of which this is a lovely example. Here’s the manual for Macumbista’s new “RM” line of Benjolins: https://macumbista.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Benjo-cheat-sheet-1.2-mid.pdf The Butterfly is two of these in a single enclosure with shared power supply, common 0v, etc. Shipping from Berlin, Germany.

Black Corp Kijimi MK2 sound exploration no talking

video upload by Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit

"Kijimi MK2 has landed in the studio and I am enjoying exploring its capabilities, quirks and raw analog sounds. This video is a no talking pretty raw exploration. exploring modulation and creating custom presets. All sounds were created from INIT to give a fresh slate.

Kijimi MK 2 is an 8 voice analog synth inspired by the RSF Polykobal from Black Corp's website

DEEP 8-VOICE ARCHITECTURE
Each of KIJIMI ’s 8 voices features 2 analog oscillators each with a square sub-bass oscillator, for buttery timbres with extensive sound design options. The sub-oscillator produces an octave lower than the combined VCO1 and VCO2 outputs, meaning you can tune two sub-pitches. Hard sync is available in VCO sync and VCO1-2 and 2-1 configurations for maximum flexibility. There’s also a noise source for adding bite and percussion components. A rich lowpass filter is built around the legendary 2140 chip and the ability to frequency-modulate it via VCO2, creates a full range of sounds from metallic and aggressive to subtle. Both filter cutoff and resonance are available as modulation destinations."
