Break your samples apart to build new and unique sounds
Play any audio file like a synthesizer-in tune with your song
Explore a new world of sound design with audio as your raw material
A firestorm of granular power
Grainferno is an advanced granular instrument built around a new way of synthesizing sound from existing audio. Its next-gen grain engine breaks your samples into microscopic fragments and rebuilds them into entirely new textures.
From pristine tonal clouds to experimental digital noise, Grainferno turns your sample library into an endless source of playable inspiration.
Make a synth from any sound
Grainferno can generate grains at speeds fast enough to cross into the audio range. At these rates, grains stop behaving like texture and start acting like oscillators-turning any audio file into a playable synth voice.
Even at audio rates, traces of the original sonic character remain, giving you unique synth building blocks with the spectral fingerprint of your source audio.
Add modulation and grain-level shaping to build ready-to-use granular synth tones that stay in tune with your song like a traditional synth.

Bass Station 2 as a MIDI controller and using its onboard arpeggiator, controlling TAL Sampler. I loaded a pluck patch, from Loopop's Oberheim TEO 5 synth sample library, running through an Akai S100 style DAC in TAL sampler, to give it an even more vintage/lo-fi feel.
Lastly added an analog style delay to the synth arp via Valhalla Delay. There's also a shaker loop on top of Tekno, also using Valhalla Delay (on the phaser setting). No external FX on Tekno."
"New year, new Minitaur video.
Ambient electronic track produced using nothing but Moog Minitaur, with the help of Tekno by Baby Audio for the drums. Thanks for listening.

PRODUCE DRUMS WITHOUT SAMPLES Stop browsing for the perfect sample and create your own infectious electronic drum sounds instead – with total control.
Tekno offers 18 fully synthesized drum engines, spanning kicks, snares, clap, hats, percussion and more. Craft unique drum kits full of punch and analog flavor to suit any musical genre.
Use MIDI to sequence Tekno directly. Or simply drag and drop your sounds into any DAW or folder for external sequencing.
NEXT-GENERATION DRUM SYNTHESIS To build Tekno we teamed up with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog circuit modeling. Our goal was to create a modern spiritual successor to the legendary drum machines of the 20th century. Not an emulation, but more.
Tekno stands on the shoulders of classic drum machines but hits deeper and harder. It utilizes a combination of circuit-modeling and cutting edge DSP to deliver the punchiest synthesized drums ever put in a plugin.

Exquis: expressive, MPE, intuitive, affordable, now optimised for Ableton Live
[Superbooth25] Intuitive Instruments, the French company behind the award‑winning Exquis ex‑pressive MPE keyboard, unveils a triple update that turns its flagship instrument into the ultimate, lightweight and compact creative hub for Ableton Live users
Unlike pad‑centric grid controllers optimised for finger‑drumming and loop triggering, Exquis responds like a real acoustic instrument: its 61 soft silicone keys, each with independent five‑dimension MPE control, provide the nuanced touch and emotional depth needed for flowing melodies and harmonically rich chords.
Exquis Remote‑Control Script for Ableton Live
The brand‑new Python‑based Remote Script integrates Exquis seamlessly into Live’s native controller family, delivering Launchpad‑style Session control and an instrument‑grade expressive touch—courtesy of its MPE twist—that makes playing melodies and chords feel effortlessly natural:
• Session view – create, launch and delete clips or scenes without touching the mouse.
• Track mastery – arm, select, mute and solo any track, and get immediate access to volume, pan and aux sends
• Expressive performance – chords, melodies and drum racks flow through all 61 soft silicone keys with independant and polyphonic 5 dimensions controls.
• Hands‑on transport & harmony – set Live’s tempo, root note and scale directly from Exquis.
• Per‑track note layouts – recall any of the keyboard’s eight onboard layouts (or your own customs) automatically when you change tracks — instantly reconfiguring Exquis into a specific instrument for every track, be it a bass, a percussive grid, or a soaring solo lead.
• One‑touch Favourites – call up Live racks or plugin presets in a heartbeat via Exquis’ exclusive favourites system.
• Device & mix control – tweak any parameter on any device and any track with using four push encoders and ten action buttons.
The script installs like any official Ableton controller template and requires Live 12.
In keeping with Intuitive Instruments’ drive for constant refinement, firmware v2.1 delivers two headline additions:
• Poly‑Hold Sustain – let chords ring out indefinitely while the onboard arpeggiator conti‑ nues to evolve.
• Developer Mode – an open MIDI API that exposes every hardware element—keys, en‑ coders, action buttons, RGB LEDs and even onboard memory—so developers can remap behaviours, write custom DAW scripts or integrate Exquis into bespoke performance setups.
The update also packs an array of stability improvements for an even smoother playing expe‑rience.
Exquis App v2 — New factory preset list and 1 500 Curated Presets
The companion software for macOS/Windows receives new factory preset list featuring hand‑picked, layout‑optimised patches for Surge XT, Vital and Decent Samplerand a vast sound‑library expansion bringing 1 250 new sounds tuned for Surge XT, Vital, Decent Sampler, Baby Audio Atom, Beatsurfing Random, Dawesome Abyss, Zyklus, Audiomodern Soun‑ dbox and Newfangled Audio Pendulate — now 1 500 presets in total.
Superbooth 2025 and Embodme.
Intuitive Instruments will attend the Superbooth 2025: booth O134, in the mezzanine of the main hall, side to Expressivee and Embodme.
"Hi, my name is Jeff Black and I'm the keyboardist for the Intergalactic Power Metal band GLYPH. The Mega Man X series has some of my favorite music ever written--pure nostalgic bliss. Enjoy this modern take on CHILL PENGUIN using some analog synths in my home studio.
"I had the pleasure to give the iOS release of Atoms @BABYAudio-official a spin and found it pretty inspiring. Especially for lively ambient tones using various LFOs and MPE support or percussive sounds by changing the internal mass-spring networks. Here is a selection of sequenced presets to show the variety of possible sounds. Enjoy."

"This video will demo the absolutely amazing Novation MiniNova synthesizer's vocoder section that contains more than 30 presets. Many of the presets are expressive-aggressive base sounds highly suitable as really cool sound effects in movies - but also for rhythmic effects or experimental support of vocals and choirs in songs. Consequently, gently dosed compression and a little bit of reverb needed to be added in post production. That's all. The rest of the effects are straight out of the MiniNova. This versatile baby synthesizer comes in a nice blue color with 3 octaves and mini keys. Wow! Great sound engine.
Video clips were recorded in 4K (60 fps) on a Panasonic Lumix GH5 and were edited in Adobe Premiere Pro running on a HP Zbook 15 G6. Audio was recorded in 96 KHz 32 bit directly into the Solid State Logic SSL 2+ USB-C audio interface via an Apple iPad Pro running Cubasis 3. All audio output has been processed in Adobe Audition for optimal broadcasting."
"Listen to this healing patch combo suitable for worship, meditation or anything that assists the healing of your mind, body and soul. The 'A-108 StringTheory' floating patch in combination with the 'A-108 CoolBatguano' arpeggiator patch is delivered by baby synthesizer Novation Mininova. My my my, I love it! The keyboard comes in a nice blue color with 3 octaves and mini keys. Wow! Great sound engine. The chords played here represent my personal take on potential worship/meditation music chord progression. :o)

Meet SY-4X
SY-4X is not only a perfect re-creation of the SY-1's inner circuit, but it also offers significantly more options. These include four units in one, trigger-controlled 'mode scanning,' CMOS circuit 'defect' control to enhance harmonics beyond the original, real-time VCF integrator cap offset for dynamic pole movement, fine-tuning envelope response to match your playing style, and additional features like Drum Kit and Keyboard Modes.
4 Times the fun
SY-4X provides four Syncussion SY-1 modules in one neat package, with some modules featuring additional modifications like noise direct injection or a Custom Mode A. The four modules allow for creating an 8-voice drum kit, four mono synths (coupled voices = 4 oscillators per module), or a four-voice poly synth (4 x 4 oscillators). You can also mix modes, such as three modules in Drum Kit mode and one in mono synth mode (keyboard controlled). In any play mode, you have full control over every voice parameter—sky's the limit!"
TranceFormation V1 - A set of 50 perfectly calibrated Presets for Baby Audio TRANSIT.
This patches made with a maximum precision for maximal ease of use.
To apply, just turn the Transition Control knob and voila!
The set is great for both individual instruments (Waldorf Blofeld is used in the demo video), for the Drum Section (Roland TR-6s is used in the video) and of course for the overall mix/composition as seen in the same demo video where Blofeld and TR-6s are combined in one music scene.
Naturally, it’s easier to use these presets inside DAW and VST.
It have no music style specification, but as you hear in the demo it's Progressive Trance, so it will work good in Melodic Techno, Progressive House, Dubstep, Chillstep, Trance, Techno or any type of music including Pop, Rock or Live Performance."
"We take a look at the brand new Baby Audio ATOMS - a physical modeling synth based on the Mass-Spring concept.
At a basic level: The specific physical model has been turned into an instrument by Silvin Willemsen and Baby Audio. There are masses (usually balls) connected by springs (virtually of course). These are excited by a bowing action and so the masses move and the springs react.
In its simplest form these are sine waves, but with additional parameters thrown in the algorithm they become more complex.
Weird, yes and sonically pretty pleasing when process by the rest of the ATOMS voice architecture - namely, a filter and a reverberator.
What you'll find are atmospheric, organic and certainly unusual sounds that share a common ground. Its an early release, with a couple of missing things - MIDI mapping for instance, but these we suspect will soon be added.
"Synthesis from the other side Atoms is a new kind of synth plugin that uses cutting edge physical modeling to generate an endless variety of organic and otherworldly sounds. Use it to build rich and alive textures the world hasn’t heard before.
COMPLEX PHYSICS IN A SIMPLE PACKAGE Physical modeling simulates the behavior of real life instruments. But Atoms takes you beyond what’s possible in the natural world. Its features are deep enough to explore the outer bounds of sound design, yet so simple that you can easily mangle, shape and create.
Atoms is powered by a simulation of interconnected masses and springs with tweakable properties and dimensions. The model is triggered by a virtual bowing action that excites the system and makes it vibrate to generate sound.
A LIVING ORGANISM Nothing in the natural world is ever truly static. Physical modeling mimics this by generating sounds with the same organic fluctuations as acoustic instruments.
Atoms takes it even further. Its six main parameters can be automated with a selection of powerful motion options to add extra life. This lets you create soundscapes that are constantly shifting and re-generating, like a natural organism.
If you’re used to working with sample libraries, Atoms will bring a new level of otherworldly realism into your tracks.
PROGRAM NEW PATCHES WITH A CLICK Atoms comes equipped with a powerful randomization engine. It’s a musically calibrated algorithm that selectively adjusts each parameter based on its relationship to the others, giving you usable patches with every roll of the dice.
You can narrow the algorithm further by limiting the random ranges for any knob or locking parameters from changing.
Finally, the Recycle button is a second randomizer that will create new patches similar to the current patch. Once you have a sound you like, click recycle to explore related options.
PHYSICALLY MODELED EFFECTS The bottom panel gives you a range of creative effects to further sculpt your sound. You can also choose between four sonic profiles, each offering a different structure of the mass-spring network simulation.
With the exception of Space (reverb), all effects in the bottom panel are created inside the physical model itself. This gives you a range of unique modulation effects that are an inherent part of the physical model and sound more natural than any separate FX chain ever would."
