DataJam Demo Weird
video upload by Cycles & Spots
"Made in the DataJam app on iPad (added to Home Screen, no browser). Same app runs in any browser.
Try it free: https://www.deepdataloops.com/datajam/"
Make music in your browser.
DataJam combines a groovebox and a DAW in your browser, with the ideas of our Reaktor instruments built in: play the pads live or from a keyboard, layer loops, play them granular, or cut them into slices and scramble them to play in random, ever-changing patterns – and finish full tracks, from the first pad to the final export. Works with the sample packs from Deep Data Loops, on iPad, iPhone, Android and computer. Nothing to download: use it in your browser, or add it to your tablet, phone or computer as an app, straight from the browser.
8 channels x 12 pads
One-shots and loops from the packs, ready on the pads. Swap any sample with a long press (right-click on a computer).
Sequencer and Arranger
Four patterns per channel, up to 8 bars, velocity per step, and an arranger to build a whole song – or let Auto arrange build one from your patterns.
Loop, Granular, Chop
Turn any loop into a cloud of grains, or slice it and play or scramble the slices, tempo-synced. Chain loops to play one after another.
Mixer and effects
Faders, a channel volume fader, mute/solo, reverb, delay, tape, filter with LFO and a 3-band EQ per pad.
Record your moves
Volume, filter, pitch, sends and more can be recorded as automation while the pattern plays.
Export your track
Record the mix as one WAV, or every channel as a separate stem in a ZIP.

"Here is all the information about Pitch Keeper: https://modulove.io/pitchkeeper." Some captured for the site archives:
"THE clou
Set your pitch with a fader. toggle the lock. Done - your tuning is frozen in place, immune to accidental bumps. Experiment freely, knowing you can always snap back to exactly where you were.
That's Pitchkeeper. A dual-channel precision offset generator with motion looper, born from a real patching need - conceived by Omri Cohen, built by Modulove.
FEATURES
TUNE.LOCK. FORGET.
You've dialed in the perfect pitch. Lock it - and it stays, no matter what. Now the pitch knob on your oscillator is free. Detune for width. Sweep for effect. Come back to perfect tuning with a flick of the toggle.
RECORD. LOOP. MODULATE.
Move the fader. Pitchkeeper records that movement - up to 5 minutes - and plays it back as looping CV. Plug it into a filter cutoff, a VCA, a panning module. Keep shaping it by modulating offset and attenuation via fader and pot. Your one-time gesture is now a repeating, evolving part of your patch.
FULL.RANGE. PRECISION
Tuning a V/Oct oscillator? Use ±5V. Sending offset to a VCA? Switch to 0–10V. One button cycles through four ranges: ±10V, ±5V, 0–10V, 0–5V. Full fader throw on each range."

WHats NExt?? / MIN-1 Ensemble / M-Vave FM-1
video upload by HanzVolt
"Why dont you have one?"
You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.
Update: via github
"MIN-1 turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a small minimalist ensemble, in the manner of the music of the 1960s to 80s that was made from very little: repeating figures, slow cycles of chords, processes you can hear. It plays itself from the moment it's switched on, so there is always something to start from; then you take over as much as you like: play your own chords (no theory needed: in EASY keys every key is a chord that fits), roll ideas and keep the ones you like, bring parts in and out by hand, put processes on the figures, and record it all as a song."

SpiceCore is an iPad instrument that pairs an analogue-style synth voice with a sequencer built for evolving rhythm, tonal steering, and hands-on play.
What defines the instrument now.
Voice, motion, harmony, space, touch, and the long arc of a performance all live inside one instrument instead of feeling like separate features.
Voice character
Dual morphing oscillators with OSC1→OSC2 FM, Contour, dual filtering, envelopes, drift, and Circuit give the core tone weight, edge, and movement, from clean bodies to bell and metallic FM colours. And one pattern need not stay one sound: the Sound Palette spreads a phrase across up to four, chosen and blended note by note.

TinyGreg added a sampler to the Elektron Model:Cycles (and a lot more) | Model-TG
video upload by TinyGreg
"A laid-back walkthrough of Model-TG, my free, open-source firmware additions for the Elektron Model:Cycles (OS 1.13). Everything the Cycles already does still works; this adds a full Sampler machine and a pile of new features on top.
Flash your own copy of Model-TG here (you need your own copy of the OS stock firmware:
https://tinygregaudio.github.io/Model...
Source, user guide and every button combo:
https://github.com/TinyGregAudio/Mode...
What's in it:
• A Sampler machine on any track: per-pattern samples, sample locks, reverse, a waveform view
• Seven playback modes: One shot, Loop, Slice, Granular, Stretch, Pluck and Wave (wavetables)
• Slice by equal size, transient or two kinds of manual chopping.
• Resampling of a track, the whole mix, or your computer's audio over USB
• Stereo samples, and uploading your own WAVs with Elektron Transfer
• A performance page with beat-repeat and 12 master FX
• Attack, Filter and Resonance on all the stock machines

Long Division Stereo Kanawha Music and Art - Knobcon 2026
video upload by sonicstate
"Chris Nagorka from Kanawha Music and Art gave us a look at Long Division Stereo and a Eurorack system, including a new phaser, Filternator filters and a matching LFO.
The current Long Division version is stereo and uses divide-down tone generation in the style of older electric pianos and organs. It offers square-wave and narrow-pulse outputs, with analog tone production and wavefolding; only the MIDI board is digital. Each note has its own keying circuit, and notes alternate between left and right every six notes, with panning available per note.
The phasers are exact copies of the 1970s Crumar Roadrunner chorus circuit. The Filternator is a passive Eurorack filter with no power requirement, switch-selected high-pass and low-pass settings, and a CV-controllable mix. The LFO cycles down to one cycle per minute and can drive phasers and filters on alternate cycles.
Products are available direct. The filter is $100 in the US, the phaser and LFO are $225 each, and Long Division Stereo is $1,750.

VAV X-Wave: Wave-Crosser
"X-Wave is a crossover-synched signal switcher for the Eurorack modular system. It's simple to use (no knobs in sight), but it's also very powerful!
X-Wave has two Signal Inputs (conveniently named SIGNAL 1 IN and SIGNAL 2 IN). It has only one OUT, though, so it is forced to choose between the two signals you give it. To do this, it listens to SIGNAL 1 and decides if SIGNAL 1 is positive (as indicated by the little +).
If SIGNAL 1 is positive, it sends only itself to the OUT jack.
However, if SIGNAL 1 is negative, only SIGNAL 2 is sent to the OUT jack (as indicated, again, by the little -).
So, if you feed two different waveforms from a VCO into SIGNAL 1 and 2 IN (pulse on 1 and saw on 2 work very well together, for example), the result will be a wave shape that cycles between half of each waveform you provided. If you use a pulse for SIGNAL 1, you can also create wavetable-like effects by varying the pulse width of your pulse wave on your VCO.
There are two other functions on the X-Wave that greatly expand its capabilities:
You can connect a third signal to the + DETECT IN jack as an external control of the switching action. This will make X-Wave stop listening to SIGNAL 1, and listen only to the 3rd signal This is very useful for using a pulse wave with PWM to "scroll" between two other waveforms from the same VCO, inserting sub oscillators to toggle between full cycles of SIGNALS 1 and 2, hocketing effects via use of a sequencer or gate divider, non-synched interleaving and switching effects, and voltage-controlled A/B switching or muting.
You can also invert the polarity of SIGNAL 2 using the provided toggle switch. This can be used to correct unfavorable polarity alignments between SIGNALS 1 and 2 or can also be used to turn X-Wave into a full wave rectifier or external-voltage-controlled inverter if you plug the same signal into both SIGNAL IN jacks.
X-Wave can pass signals down to 0hz (DC) so it can also be used to process LFOs, Envelopes, CV Sequences, and 1V/Octave signals. It probably has other uses I haven't thought of!
X-Wave is 4HP and uses Burr Brown op amps for the main signal path alongside other high quality Texas Instruments ICs for other duties. X-Wave is not a bi-directional switch, so please be aware that the IN and OUT jack labels should be followed when patching. X-Wave uses a high impedance of 1M (10x the typical 100k) for all inputs, so multiple units can be connected via stacking cables/passive splitters (up to 10 inputs can be paralleled while still maintaining traditional Eurorack input impedance standards)."

nonlinearcircuits Dichotomy Paradox 1
video upload by cirtcele
"Updated version of Divine CMOS. Wonderful module for harmonically rich sounds or use as a complex CV patter and gate generator. Thought the LEDs were superbright purple but turned out to be a mild light blue."
via nonlinearcircuits
"This module has been thru a few cycles. The original idea for the design is from an article in Electronotes EN#98 by Lester Ludwig, spectacularly titled ‘A Square-wave Frequency-division Sub-octave Cross-product Module, it’s relationship with Lie algebra, and other related processes’ or more simply known as The Cross Product Module.
The frequencies of two VCO signals are separately divided by /2, /4, /8 & /16 ratios. The corresponding divisions are ANDed together and the results, along with all the raw divided frequencies are mixed together in various ways. You end up with a very harmonically thick, animated sound.
I did a full bloat CMOS (Ludwig’s design was TTL) version for a 4U panel back in 2008 or so, but changed the AND gates to XOR gates for a more ring-modulated effect. Then a minimal, slimmed down eurorack version, called Divine CMOS. This just used the XOR’d signal and outputted a signal determined by the pots.
After some requests for an expanded version, I re-visited the design.

Hermetic Modular - Launch Announcement - New Open Source Eurorack Manufacture
video upload by Hermetic Modular
"Introducing a new modular synthesis company. Shipping early July.
Hermeticmodular.com
Open source!
Thank you to Victory Nguyen for performing, Justin Benjamin for the good camera work (all bad camera work should be attributed to me), and Greg Dixon for some of the excellent sound design demos."
How do you test 36,700 LEDs?
video upload by Hermetic Modular
"Run a burn in test! Enjoy 10 minutes of the uninterrupted test - an important step in the QA process. This runs for a minimum of five hours per board.
Proper eurorack LED ring pot feedback.
And all 3060 of these LEDs pictured passed :)

ECHOA STEREO DUAL DELAY AND REVERB PROCESSOR
Four delay lines total — two per stereo channel. Morph delay into reverb from first principles, from clean digital delay to smeared, textured reflections. Route the four lines in series, parallel, isolation, or spectrally. Presets, parameter lock on every pot, character engines, and more.
TIME
Delay time from 1 ms to 16 seconds, up to four taps per delay line, configurable for your sound design. Feedback up to and past unity, and a dry/wet mix per channel. Freeze delay buffers, set tempo with tap on the line buttons, or patch a clock and lock each line to a musical division. Linear or logarithmic time taper options: a full featured, clean delay line.
SPACE
Bend echoes into reverb. Diffusion sweeps a four-stage Schroeder all-pass network from discrete repeats to a wash. Bloom grows short, fixed loops into long modulated plate and hall tails. Damping is bipolar from noon — counter-clockwise darkens the tail, clockwise thins and brightens it.
ENGINE
Degrade each line's voice across with four engines — digital, BBD, tape, vinyl. Saturation, bandwidth limiting, compander, wow and flutter, hiss, crackle, digital glitches. Depth scales from bit-pristine bypass, to a gentle touch of character, to destruction.
CONFIGURABLE FOR PERFORMANCE ROUTING
Parallel, series, mono, or spectral delay-line topologies.
CV MAPPING
Per-CV destination, with attenuverters on every input.

MORPH-6: Algorithmic Lifeforms Synthesizer (First Explorations)
video upload by Laboratory 0
"Six observed entities share the same communication protocol, yet exhibit entirely different behaviors. The same signal manifests as a different physical reality within each: some proliferate like concrete, forming vast resonant structures; others retain an untamed, primordial roar; others persist as translucent organisms of granules, metal, rubber, and glass, sustained through endless cycles of fracture and reassembly.
The windows are not control panels, but communication terminals. What you see are not parameters, but cross-sections left behind as another consciousness passes through the medium. No label can faithfully translate them. Each algorithm is another point of contact with a different lifeform.
Or perhaps they have simply chosen to borrow our world as a place to be heard.

Sinevibes Shift frequency shifter
Playlist:
1. Sinevibes Shift frequency shifter – with KORG NTS-1 mkII
2. Sinevibes Shift frequency shifter – with Elektron model:cycles and KORG NTS-1 mkII
https://www.sinevibes.com/korgshift/
"Shift is a frequency shifter for KORG prologue, minilogue xd, NTS-1, NTS-1 mkII, NTS-3 and microKORG2. It features two distinct models: a frequency shifter and a ring modulator. The frequency shifter model shifts each frequency partial in the input signal’s spectrum upwards or downwards by an equal amount in Hz, changing the original ratios between all frequency partials; this makes the sound more and more atonal, un-pitched. The ring modulator model uses a 2× oversampled sine oscillator as a multiplier of the input signal, producing a new spectrum with all frequency partials shifted both upwards and downwards; this algorithm makes the sound even more atonal and metallic, bell-like.
HIGHLIGHTS
Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for KORG’s hardware platform.
Individually chosen mapping for every plugin parameter, providing a very natural feel.
Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.
Tested and optimized for maximum performance and stability on each individual device type."
