"An analog drum machine clone of the famous CR78, coming with a lot of new features and improvements, from the sound point of view as well as the ergonomics of the machine and the sequencer.
The design of the analog circuit and the sequencer gives it a warm and groovy sound as its elder with much more varied sound possibilities.
The very intuitive sequencer takes on the original spirit while bringing new and unique features and allows you to quickly create complex patterns and grooves while offering great flexibility for live jam and more sound variations.
Among the highlight and new features we find:
- A new, ergonomic design that is very elegant and modern.
- New pots / knobs, bigger, more flexible and very pleasant.
- Carrying bag and decksaver (dust cover) included.
- Numerous possibilities for customizing the LEDs colors to better identify your patterns and more.
"In this Patch Flip, we look at the @GForceSoftware Sequential Prophet 5, an officially endorsed plugin recreating the Rev 3 Prophet 5 with GForce additions.
As well as being a faithful recreation of the OG Prophet with switchable filter modes and original envelope curves, it has two layers of up to 10 voices each, giving 20 voices total, plus A/B splits and Alt modes. The XMOD and XLFO system lets you modulate most parameters with an XLFO or XADSR, with extras like noise injection, sample and hold and looping.
A bank of reorderable effects covers chorus, phaser, distortion, filter, tremolo, reverb and delay. On-screen animation shows active modulation, and CCs can now step through patches.
Priced at $83.99 US, it runs standalone, AU, AAX, VST and VST3 on Mac and Windows. https://Gforcesoftware.com"
"Roland JX-8P vs MKS-70 | These Two Synths Should Sound Identical. They Don't. Why?
Many of the patches I use can be found here: https://espenkraft.com/b/hBPIn
Age of electronics, different electronics/chips etc. Both synth are loaded up with the same sysex patch each time.
I'm only using one of the two voice cards of the MKS-70 (upper) to match the 8P's polyphony.
The 8P smears the sound out more, due to its chorus, or age. The MKS-70 is cleaner, darker and of course more powerful since it's TWO 8Ps in box.
This is another ridiculously comparisons video that serves no other purpose than to fetishise old gear."

"The DriftLog from Teia Synthesizers is a dual-channel random voltage generator designed to generate, capture, and reshape random voltages in real time. he two channels—A and B—produce independent voltages, but share a set of shaping controls, namely Slope for morphing between stepped and smooth voltages and Shape for sculpting the curvature of the voltages. There's also a 3-position switch that changes the range of the Shape control from Arc to Peak, Exponential rise to exponential fall, and Bezier ease in to ease out. Each channel can be switched into Loop mode, which allows it to record and replay a selectable portion of its random history using dedicated Start and Length controls.

e7 Unofficial Editor - VST3 Demo video upload by Voidcontrol MIDI
"VST3 editor for the GS e7. Real DAW automation, easily build multitimbral patches, patch library, A/B snapshots, morph, and resizable UI. Windows 10/11. Available at voidcontrolmidi.com."
Press release follows:
Voidcontrol MIDI has released the e7 Unofficial Editor, a Windows VST3 plugin that lets you control and automate the GS Music e7 from within a DAW, just like a software instrument.
The e7 is a remarkable analog polysynth with a passionate community and a genuinely unique sound, but editing it properly from a DAW has often meant menu diving on the hardware. This editor was designed to make that seamless. All 88 of the e7's parameters are on screen, laid out to mirror the front panel, with real DAW automation on every control rather than just MIDI learn.
Features include:
Full parameter control: every one of the e7's 88 parameters on one screen, with authentic readouts for oscillator tune, tempo-synced LFO rates, and waveform shapes.
Real DAW automation lanes for every parameter.
A patch librarian: browse, audition, load, rename, import and export single presets, whole banks, or full instrument backups as standard .syx files.
Multi-mode support: edit 4-part multitimbral patches with per-part level, MIDI channel, voice allocation, and key/velocity zones.
A/B snapshots with an automatable morph slider.
Two-way hardware sync: pull the synth's current edit buffer into the editor in one click, with the editor recalling its state on project load.
Init and a musical randomizer for fresh starting points.
A resizable interface with onboard help.
A standalone version is also included for use without a DAW, working as a pure hardware controller that needs no audio interface.
The editor has been tested in Ableton Live, Bitwig, Cubase, Reaper, and Studio One, with USB and 5-pin DIN MIDI, MPE support, and a one-click All Notes Off panic.
"The e7 sounds incredible. I just wanted to see all of it at once, especially the multitimbral side," said Dave of Voidcontrol MIDI.
Voidcontrol MIDI is a small US-based developer making editors for boutique and classic hardware synths. The e7 Unofficial Editor is its third release, after editors for the Roland SE-02 and Oberheim OB-6. A macOS version is under consideration.
The e7 Unofficial Editor is available now at voidcontrolmidi.com for an introductory $30 USD through July 7, 2026, after which it returns to its regular price of $40 USD.
The e7 Unofficial Editor is a third-party tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by GS Music. "e7" is a trademark of its respective owner.
I am very happy to share this new project with you: an EP of original electronic/electroacoustic fusion music. There are six tracks, including the single "The Prayer Is The Road"(a)/"The Road Is The Prayer"(b). To be clear - prayer in my context is secular: "a practice focusing on gratitude, mindfulness, and reflection to foster positive change, connection, or resilience without appealing to a supernatural being".
"Wheel Within the Wheel", the title track, is influenced by a visit to Tibetan Buddhist monks while they werein the process of creating a sand painting and then destroying it. "Fractal Loup" is about a state of active and curious meditation, a metaphorical wolf mind interpreted with looping. "The Float" is a dream through the worlds of techno and Berlin school. All music recorded & mixed at Alibi’s Little Corner Studio by MWGilbert and mastered by Sean Magee.
Upcoming: thanks to my partners at ElasticStage, "Wheel Within the Wheel" will soon be available as both an LP and a CD! You can check out my previous album "Electronic Music": https://elasticstage.com/mwgilbert
Hope you enjoy "Wheel Within the Wheel". I'm always pleased and grateful to hear what you think, so please let me know!

2. GForce Prophet 5 vs the Hardware - Starsky Carr
I put the GForce Prophet 5 VST head-to-head against my real Sequential Prophet 5 hardware — testing filters, oscillators, envelopes, LFOs, vintage mode, FM, sync, unison, and more — to find out just how close it really gets.
The GForce Prophet 5 is the ONLY Prophet 5 software officially endorsed by Sequential, making it the only plugin that can legally call itself the Prophet 5. But does the endorsement mean anything sonically? After hours of clinical testing with spectrum analysis, oscilloscopes, and direct A/B comparisons, the results genuinely surprised me.
In this video:
Rev 1 vs Rev 2 vs Rev 3 filter comparison (SSI vs CEM — hear the -difference)
Oscillator shapes: sawtooth, square, triangle side-by-side
Pulse width modulation & LFO speed accuracy
FM / oscillator sync behaviour (I did find a minor difference here)
Polymod and audio-rate filter modulation
Unison & Vintage mode — does the voice-to-voice character match?
Low frequency oscillator mode
X-Mod section: LFOs and envelopes on everything
Built-in effects: chorus, phaser, distortion, multi-mode filter, delay, reverb
CPU load test: 10 simultaneous instances vs Ozone on the master bus
The verdict? The differences I found are no greater than you'd hear between two hardware Prophet 5s. If you don't own the hardware and aren't doing a clinical A/B, you will not notice them.
The GForce Prophet 5 is also remarkably CPU efficient — 10 instances use less CPU than a single Ozone instance. It adds two layers, up to 10-voice polyphony, full CC modulation, and an X-Mod section that turns a classic polysynth into something far more powerful."

"I recently spent an evening exploring the Chompi Club running the Tempo firmware together with a few of my favorite effects pedals and recorded these three ambient sketches.
Rather than choosing one myself, I thought it would be interesting to share all three and hear your impressions.
Which sketch resonates with you the most: A, B, or C?
I'd love to know not only your favorite, but also why it connects with you.

"The r3ta of loopers!! Synthux Academy Spotykach is the most unique looper I've ever played. Think two tape machines that can loop, overdub, cross-record from one to the other, slow down, speed up — all with three distinct modes: tape/real mode, a time-based slice mode, and granular mode. Add LFOs, envelopes, a trigger sequencer, an onboard clock, MIDI I/O and you've got a sonic playground that'll swallow hours without you noticing.
In this review and hands-on demo I cover everything: the three playback modes, granular cloud control, tape speed pitch-bending, slice quantisation, stereo routing modes, deck-to-deck recording, LFO shapes (sine, saw, square, sample & hold), the trigger sequencer, loading/saving samples via SD card, and syncing it all to an external clock with the Symmontronic Gnome 2. I'm also running it alongside the Synthux Pro X and a DAW running 808s at 130 BPM — so you can hear exactly how it sits in a full setup.
At $949 it's not cheap, but if you're into ambient, experimental, or textural music, it's hard to think of anything else that does this.
The Spotykach supports:
✔ Three modes — Real (tape), Slice, Granular (Drift)
✔ Dual independent decks (A & B) with cross-deck recording
✔ Onboard clock with tap tempo (internal / external / MIDI)
✔ Trigger sequencer per channel
✔ Two LFOs (sine, sawtooth, square, sample & hold)
✔ Envelopes per channel
✔ Delay & distortion/grit effects
✔ Pitch quantisation (semitones, fifths, octaves, 1–2 octaves)
✔ Three stereo routing modes including stereo randomisation
✔ SD card sample load/save (48kHz 32-bit float, 42 sec max)
✔ MIDI in/out, USB power, headphone out
✔ Voltage per octave (V/oct) input
✔ Pickup mode (no parameter jumps)
✔ Visual LED feedback for every parameter"
