Arplus: Max Pluck for your Buck - Quantised Arpeggiated Karplus Strong Eurorack Module
video upload by Kronofonika
"Introducing Arplus, a six voice Karplus-Strong Synth with a quite advanced Quantised Arpeggiator built in. A lot of Pluck for your Buck.
Thanks Zlosynth Instruments for letting me do a synth demo wearing chainmail."

16:33 - Spicing things up
via Perfect Circuit
The Arplus module from Zlosynth Instruments is a robust Karplus-Strong 6-voice resonator that gives you a bevy of musical scales at your fingertips. The Arplus works by selecting a particular chord based on the scale you select, stepping through the notes of that chord via the Trigger input and button. Use the Tone control to set the root note, and use the Chord control to select the particular chord. Both controls have corresponding CV inputs that let you create intricate sequences or melodic randomness. Choose from 31 different types of scales that include Western, Arabic, Indian, Japanese, and even quarter tones.
Internally, a burst of noise gets generated to create the sound, however, if you want more control over your noise bursts, an external input is available for you to patch in whatever you'd like. Use the String control to adjust how many virtual strings remain resonant after the trigger—up to 6 strings can resonate at a time allowing for soaring expanses of ambience and gorgeous clusters of notes. Sculpt the sound right on the module with a built-in filter, including resonance and cutoff, along with a Contour control that moves from short percussive bursts to long swells of washed texture.
Of course, no resonator would be complete without a stereo output, and the Arplus doesn't disappoint. Choose from three different stereo spreads: Ping Pong, which alternates voices between left and right, Root, which sends the Root to the Left and everything else to the Right, and Haas, which creates a stereo spread using the psychoacoustic Haas effect. The Arplus from Zlosynth is more than just your typical resonator, with an easy-to-read scale selector and a lovely sound that's sure to win over your heart and ears.

The Crow Hill Company Introduces the THE SH*T SYNTH
The Sh*t Synth - Walkthrough video upload by CROW HILL XTRAS
Press release follows:
The Crow Hill Company turns to extensive and rare collection to turn out THE SH*T SYNTH as compendium of 48 circuit-, wave- and sample-bent instruments
EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to turn to its own extensive and rare collection of hardware to turn out THE SH*T SYNTH — available as a compendium of 48 circuit-, wave- and sample-bent instruments inspired by some of the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s eclectic musical favourites (spanning the likes of Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Joe Maus, Jon Brion, Laurie Spiegel, Radiohead, Throbbing Gristle, and Yazoo) to create something that they collectively ask: is it just shit or ‘the shit’? — as of April 7…
Whatever way anyone chooses to read into the titling of THE SH*T SYNTH as the latest entry into The Crow Hill’s ongoing ORIGINS series of sample-based virtual instrument plug-ins, one thing is for sure: it readily represents a broad selection of three categories of 16 workhorse instruments each, effectively wrapped up into a single plug-in designed to bring a cohesive approach to making music more edgy, lo-fi, retro, and — swimming against the technological tide of so-called progress — decidedly AI (Artificial Intelligence) slop-free. From pianos to strings, plucks, beeps, bass, and pads, the compendium that is THE SH*T SYNTH has been lovingly sculpted by the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s media composer and ‘samplist-in-residence’ Christian Henson to take the hassle out of making existing sounds less refined, catering to those looking for an entirely new bank of Mellotron-style sounds as well as synths that have been long forgotten — for good reason, too!

Compression & Dynamics Patching on Eurorack Modular Synths // Sump Pump by Robots Are Red
video upload by DivKid
"Here we have SUMP PUMP from Robots Are Red (with circuit design from Setonix Synth). It's a 6HP stereo Eurorack noise gate that can also invert its behaviour into a compressor and with the 'floor' control it can also be an expander. We've 3 umbrella sections in the video with compression, noise gate and sidechain ducking techniques. Check out the patches and let us know which is your favourite. There's also an exclusive run down of the dirty bass patch on / divkid"
*TIMING INDEX // CHAPTERS*
00:00 Intro & previews
01:00 What are we doing & feature run down
PATCHES // COMPRESSION
03:17 Setting up compression on beats
06:05 Adding excitement to thick distorted bass with expansion
08:17 Reshaping chords with compression
PATCHES // NOISE GATE
10:00 From basic to creative noise gates
13:56 “Beat density” with floor control (thanks to RAR for the idea!)
PATCHES // DUCKING & SIDECHAIN
17:48 Big dumb bass ducking - good fun & how to set it up
19:34 Creatively duck ambient FX - I love this mixing/production trick
It's a noise gate, it's a noise suppressor, it's a compressor, it's an expander, it's stereo.
The Specs and Stats:
Width: 6hp
- Attack and Release knob for envelope(s)
- Threshold for suppression/compression (0V - ~8V)
- Floor controls the amount of suppression/compression from -100dB to Unity and even up to +10dB for expanding the louds louder or make the quiets a bit louder.
- Level controls your overall output level
- Gate/Comp switch: When in "Gate" mode, whenever the input falls BELOW the threshold level, the envelope will engage towards the floor setting. When in "Comp" mode, the envelope will trigger when the input rises ABOVE the threshold setting.
-Stereo inputs and outputs. The envelope follower is assigned to the Left input, so the L input can also be used as a sidechain input for a mono signal (into In-R).
- Engage input. This is a gate input for manually engaging the envelope.
- Threshold CV input. This offsets from your knob position.
- Floor CV input. This also offsets from your knob position.
- Duck CV Input. This is an envelope follower input that applies and inverted envelope to the level of the signal. Send a simple pulse or trigger, an actual kick, an envelope, or anything else into this to duck your signal.
-Envelope Output. The envelope Output does not follow the "floor" settings and always outputs a full voltage envelope.
Special thanks to SetonixSynth and many others for really helping make this module a reality.

Pics and details via Perfect Circuit
Also check with your favorite dealers on the right for various deals and bundles.

"Akai's MPC Sample is a portable chopping machine that is ready to go whenever a moment of inspiration strikes or as your lightweight companion through a day of slow-moving errands. Styled after their beloved MPC60, this beige beauty gives nostalgia and function in a battery-powered package. To ensure the size and ease-of-use remains paramount, the MPC Sample has a stripped down OS and micro pads but don't let the size fool you: this is an MPC through-and-through.Whether using the built-in microphone, the stereo 1/4" jacks, or USB audio, you get quick access to the Sample Record section that is as easy as pressing a pad. A few quick trims using the multifunction knobs or using the shift and main encoder in combination will have you chopping and trimming in no time. Once you have your samples loaded, chopped, and assigned, recording a sequence is just as easy: just set the mode to Seq, adjust settings to taste, press the pad you want to record to, and you've got a loop. Resample that loop for further processing, use the step edit mode to make micro adjustments, and precompose a few sequences to switch between for full track performances.
The MPC Sample lets you engage effects in two different ways: the Knob FX and Pad FX. As their names portend, the Knob FX gives you access to a gang of effects including delays and reverbs, amp simulations, modulation effects, and vintage emulators. These effects are controlled with the three multifunction knobs for excellent playability. The Pad FX, on the other hand, are 16 always available effects that get triggered momentarily by the pads and are expressed via velocity. This is where you can get a stutter effect, several coloration effects, a half-speed effect, and other performable, musical delights. A fantastic choice for newcomers and veterans alike, the MPC Sample from Akai is a powerful tool for studio or stage that complements just about any other piece of equipment in your audio arsenal.
MPC SAMPLE FEATURES
Portable, battery powered sampler
16 Velocity sensitive mini pads
Built-in mic

KONSTRUKT-8 is an expressive live performance instrument and sound design tool – plus a hands-on deep dive into electronic circuit design.
Each of its eight DIY modules comes with a detailed build guide and can be explored on a breadboard first, letting you trace every circuit design decision before assembling the final instrument. KONSTRUKT-8 includes four fully analog drum voices:
• Kick Drum. A resonant bridged-T network produces deep, punchy kicks.
• Snare Drum. A burst of filtered transistor noise layered over a tuned resonator creates a crisp snap.
• Hi-Hat. Six dissonant square-wave oscillators are mixed, filtered, and overdriven to create metallic percussion.
• FM Drum. Two interacting oscillators form a versatile percussion voice capable of kicks, toms, bells, and cymbal-like sounds.
A four-channel drum sequencer lets you tap in rhythms that loop automatically. Under the hood, shift registers store the pattern as a circular sequence of binary data.
All voices feed into a four-channel mixer with per-channel FX sends and a master insert, allowing you to shape the entire beat with external effects or the built-in distortion and compressor.
Two effects modules complete the system: an analog bucket-brigade delay (BBD) with flanger and delay modes, plus a diode-based compressor with sidechain capability.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Both versions ship with:
• EDU DIY Kick Drum kit
• EDU DIY Snare Drum kit
• EDU DIY Hi-Hat kit
• EDU DIY FM Drum kit
• EDU DIY Drum Sequencer kit
• EDU DIY Output Mixer 2 kit
• EDU DIY BBD kit
• EDU DIY Compressor kit
• 8 downloadable build guides
The system version also includes:
• Eurorack enclosure with integrated power supply
• 15 braided patch cables (5× 20cm, 5× 30cm, 5× 60cm)

ULTRAMASTER KR-106 Open Source Roland Juno-106 Soft Synth Emulation
"A virtual analog synthesizer inspired by the classic Roland Juno polysynths, with DSP calibrated from hardware measurements, firmware analysis, and factory schematics. 6-voice polyphonic.
Free and open source. AU, VST3, CLAP, LV2, and standalone."
Additional details via Reddit:
"We started building a Juno software synth in a Brooklyn loft in 2000. 25 years later, we're releasing it as open source. Meet the Ultramaster KR-106.
Back in 2000, my buddy Dave and I started Ultramaster Group with a wild idea: professional audio software for Linux. We were young, broke, working in a loft in Brooklyn, and perhaps a little bit ahead of our time.
Life happened. I went on to start a screen printing studio. Dave ended up at Google. But we never really stopped thinking about the synth.
Fast forward 25 years. Hardware is exponentially faster, DSP methodology has evolved, and we now have access to oscilloscopes, service manuals, and communities like this one. So we went back to the source code and overhauled everything.
The KR-106 is a 6-voice polyphonic Juno-106 emulation with:
Per-voice DCO, VCF (TPT cascade, IR3109 OTA-C design with 2x oversampling), VCA, and ADSR
Sub-oscillator (CD4013 flip-flop model) and noise source (2SC945 avalanche model)
PWM modes (manual / LFO / envelope)
4-position HPF (bass boost / flat / 240 Hz / 720 Hz)
Per-voice component variance modeling analog tolerances (pitch ±3¢, envelope ±8%, VCA ±0.5 dB, pulse width)
BBD chorus emulation (MN3009 modeled with Hermite interpolation)
Arpeggiator, portamento, Mono/Poly I/Poly II key modes
Two calibration modes: '1984 Mode' (firmware + schematics) and '1982 Mode' (circuit analysis + hardware measurements from my own Juno-6)
128 factory presets decoded from original SYSEX data
AU/VST3 on Mac, VST3/LV2 on Linux, VST3 on Windows, plus Standalone
It's 100% free, GPL-licensed, and we don't take donations. We just want it to be as accurate as possible, and we'd love help getting there.

Sequential 02 : Oberheim OB-6 Sound Demo : " Massive Mod " user bank preview by I.H.R
video upload by I Hate Robots
"Sequential Oberheim OB-6 (module) - sound demo of few user programs, this is not a jam, and the video is a loop, not in realtime.

26:25 Berlin Mod
29:35 Crispy Pad
In practical terms, the OB-6 (keyboard or module version) is a modern and refined embodiment of all the experience and expertise of Dave Smith (Sequential) and Tom Oberheim. Its sound engine sits somewhere between the Sequential Prophet-6 and the Oberheim OB-Xa; it's essentially a fusion of the two!
It's high-end, old-school analog in the purest tradition—the sound is big, fat, deep, and powerful—but with modern digital assistance that allows it to fully exploit its capabilities and push its boundaries.
This is precisely the subject and purpose of this preset bank, which I designed entirely myself.
This is my main OB-6 bank, which I use very often for my sound design work in the studio or for my training sessions. User Bank #3 (Massive Mod), it contains a total of 96 custom presets. I'm not presenting them all here, the demo would have been far too long, but I've prepared this short demo with a few of them to give you a sonic preview of the synth and its modulation capabilities!
Sometimes I use a single preset with its modulations, either played directly on the keyboard or sequenced with a keyboard layer on top, and other times I mix two presets together (the OB-6 is monotimbral).
Everything you hear comes from the OB-6; there are no added effects, no post-production processing !

RING SM Sounds - A Ring Modulator/Sub-bass Generator & CP-3 Mixer for #eurorack
video upload by AJH Synth Official
"Playing around with the RING SM from AJH Synth. This is a hugely useful module, combining a 3-way all-analogue Ring Modulator, a -1 and -2 octave sub-bass generator, and 5-channel Moog CP-3 based mixer.
This is a real ring mod, as opposed to the more common, simpler and cheaper circuits found in many synths, such as the Odyssey, which often used CMOS chips to mimic the same behaviour. The authentic vintage circuit recreated in the RING SM is based on the Ring Mod of the EMS Synthi/VCS3, and has a hugely thick, rich tone.
The Sub Bass generator derives shaped square waves at 1 or 2 octaves below the pitch on an incoming VCO. This shaped squares are slightly curved at the edges, almost a cross between a square and a sine wave, which produces a much better balance of harmonic content and warmth/fatness than the common, purely square or sine sub basses found on most synths and modules, resulting in thicker yet more musical sub-octaves. Additionally, the 'Double' feature can generate an octave above the incoming triangle or sine wave.
The CP-3 mixers saturates as you'd expect from this classic vintage design, with soft clipping, and a boosted gain level on input channel 5."

Blue Monday/New Order (Circuit Tracks Revision)
video upload by Guinan
"Almost! It's another Monday, so what could be more apt than todays 1983 New Order classic, Blue Monday.
As per usual this is ALL Novation Circuit Tracks playing live from the audio outs direct into my Zoom L6 recorder. No extra synths/no effects/no extra edits.
This is a revision of a version I did about 12 months ago. There is a lot going on in this track so I've squeezed a bit extra out of the groovebox in using some short melodic samples in place of drum sounds on 3 pads.
I'd initially dug it out to get me started on an Ableton Move version of the track and with some polished up samples and a little bit of editing I thought it was worth a revision.
More details for synth nerds,
BPM 131
I originally programmed the top arpeggio line on the Circuit Tracks quickly realising I was going to run out of voices. I sampled the riff and stuck it on a pad and played it back as a pattern and saved myself a voice, I couldn't get a bass synth sound that would double up as the main synth and as 'Peter Hook'. Instead I played a short Spaghetti Western style bass guitar riff through a spring reverb in my best impression of Hooky and sampled it on the Circuit Rhythm. I then transferred this onto one of the drum sample pads and put it on Drum 4 as another pattern, finally there is a choir sample the band played on an old Emulator. I simply copied the same source they used ( Kraftwerk's track, 'Uranium') and made a loop on another one of the drum pads, turning it into a 3rd pattern for Drum 4."
