"Sound bank notes

In my opinion, the Murmux Adept is a modern classic among synthesizers. It oozes quality and depth with a vintage analog sound and a strong personality. The oscillators, filters and analog stereo bucket brigade delay (BBD) interact to create a rich palette of timbres, with an inclination towards dark ambient textures.

It excels at ambient pads, textures and atmospheres so I have exploited this in many of my patches. I have also created more conventional sounds such as strings and brass which sing with power and majesty – rivalling those of the Sequential Prophet 5. Lead sounds are another strength of the Murmux, so you will find many within the bank ranging from pure triangles and sines through to aggressive and expressive saws.

Although the Murmux looks like a very simple synth - lacking complex features like a modulation matrix, in fact it is possible to create many layers of modulation simultaneously. You can for instance, assign velocity (how hard you press the keys) to modulate envelope times while also morphing between waveforms in both oscillators and using aftertouch to control filter cutoff and resonance. In this sound bank I have used modulation comprehensively and all patches have parameters assigned to the mod wheel as well as aftertouch and/ or velocity to maximise the expressiveness of the sounds.

The delay is a big feature of this synth so I have used it a lot, although you will also find traditional analog synth patches with no effects at all. The BBD resonator and ensemble modes are powerful, yet I have tended to use them for subtle modulation to thicken sounds or to create gentle flanging.

Dreadbox Murmux Adept: a Musical Exploration

video upload by Synth Universe

"A musical exploration of sounds and timbres featuring custom-created patches.

I think the Murmux Adept is a modern classic among analog poly synths, even though it was released as a limited edition in 2024 and is only attainable on the used market. It oozes quality and depth with a vintage analog sound and a strong personality. The oscillators, filters and analog stereo bucket brigade delay (BBD) interact to create a rich palette of timbres, with an inclination towards dark ambient textures."

"All sounds in this video are individual patches played straight from the synth except for ‘Alhaqueca’ and ‘Ambient layers’ which are layered tracks. No external enhancement or processing was applied to the sounds except on the track ‘Alhaqueca’ where I used a software delay plugin and a little compression and EQ when mastering."

Dreadbox Murmux Adept #3 | Winterdagen

video upload by Winterdagen

"Here's another gentle one on the mighty Dreadbox Murmux Adept :-) For this patch I didn't make use of the oscillators as a sound source. I stead I turned up the resonance on the filter and put the tracking to 100%, making the filter basically output a sine wave that tracks the keyboard. I used a very short decay time and low sustain on the envelopes to output a very soft sound, again helping emphasise the lovely layer of noise coming from the effects. I also dialed in a tiny bit of filter FM giving the sound some edge. Some subtle gritty delays from the Strymon El Capistan plugin add a little texture. God I love this synth."

"I love how warm the Dreadbox Murmux Adept sounds. I've had Murmux for a couple of weeks now and I'm still incredibly happy with it. An important test for a synth for me is how it sounds combined with my piano. So this afternoon I recorded this little piece. I think they sound lovely together :-)

ps. apparently I accidentally bumped the right mic forward just before recording this.

Thanks for listening!"

Dreadbox Murmux Adept #1 | Winterdagen

video upload by Winterdagen

"When I went to Synthfest UK a few months ago, I fell completely in love with the Dreadbox Murmux Adept. I tried just about every poly synth I could find out there and this was the one that instantly mesmerized me. However I thought I would never be able to get my hands on one as only 300 units have been made and they'd been long gone. Until last week, when out of the blue one popped up.

I've been head over heels for this thing the past week. I made about 40 patches and wrote 10 new pieces of music on it in a few nights, it is really that inspiring. I'll be posting some of my first explorations on it over the next few weeks and here's the first one.

For this piece I thought it'd be interesting to see if I could get a patch to start out as an ambient pad, morphing into a plucked sound. I made use of the amazing effects on it (BBD + delay), both adding quite some noise to the signal chain. The delay gets noisy at long delay times and I absolutely love the way it sounds. In fact I compressed the sound afterward to make the ever changing noise of the effects more prominent because I love it so much. Murmux can definitely sound clean as well, but I love pushing the effects to get a more noisy signal to create an intimate world of sounds."

BAF 2025: Dreadbox Artemis Polysynth

video upload by sonicstate

"at BAF 2025, we spoke with Orfeas from Dreadbox about *Artemis*, their forthcoming six-voice analogue synthesizer. The synth features dual VCOs per voice with full MPE compatibility, demonstrated alongside a ROLI Seabird for enhanced expression. Dreadbox introduced a through-zero FM capability, a first for the brand, allowing for more dynamic bass tones and FM-style sounds. The onboard modulation matrix lets you assign parameters to CCs, aftertouch, and polyaftertouch.

The synth comes with a classic Dreadbox filter, switchable between two and four poles, reminiscent of the Erebus series. Stereo voice panning is enabled through a voice spread function similar to the Murmux.

Effects from Sinevibes offer enhanced modulation, delays, and reverb options within four effect slots, providing greater creative control. Connectivity includes stereo outputs, USB for MIDI, and classic MIDI in/out. Expected availability is end of February to mid-March."

Dreadbox Murmux III "Adept" : Almost Perfect?

video upload by Tim Shoebridge

"Here finally is a video I started to plan and record almost three months ago. My initial idea was a short video featuring some nice ambient music and a voice-over by me describing my most favourite features of the Murmux Adept. 15-20 minutes should do the trick.

But the more I thought about what to say, the more I realised that I needed to properly pay my respects to the Murmux, to describe all its features and what it can do. So that's what I have done, and the result is an epic movie-length video of over 90 minutes!

I haven't attempted to trim the content, in fact I've added extra demo tracks and hands-on feature demonstrations. My conclusions and many ramblings at the end of the video are almost 20 minutes in length! Apologies for that.

So let's be clear, this is not a video for the casual viewer or for the feint hearted. It is certainly not for the typical YouTube browsing public with an attention span of under 8 minutes. It's a detailed and thorough look at this very special instrument because, with only 300 ever being made and a hefty price tag, I'm guessing that not too many people are going to have the opportunity to see one let alone play or own one.

So please, find a comfy armchair, a snack and a small glass of your favourite beverage, and most importantly find some quality quiet time and some good headphones or earbuds, because we are about to immerse ourselves in something wonderful, the Dreadbox Murmux "Adept" ❤

Here's the contents so you can plan your time:
