Crow Hill & Bleeding Fingers Proudly Present PREHISTORIC STRINGS Library


video upload by CROW HILL

Press release follows:


The Crow Hill Company works with Bleeding Fingers to proudly present PREHISTORIC STRINGS as unique string library built from bespoke instruments

EDINBURGH, UK: working with award-winning composers collective Bleeding Fingers, Edinburgh-based enterprise The Crow Hill Company is proud to present PREHISTORIC STRINGS as a truly unique string library — literally built from one-of-a-kind bespoke instruments incorporating horns and teeth with a few ancient bones thrown in for good measure, making for hybrid monstrosities to create tones that are haunting, primordial, and staggeringly beautiful in their truly primitive nature — as of September 25…

Putting PREHISTORIC STRINGS into its rightful perspective involves delving deep into the past in more ways than one — not least The Crow Hill Company’s ongoing relationship with its collective friends at Bleeding Fingers. For it all started when the latter’s talented Anลพe Rozman and Kara Talve worked with Hollywood hotshot Hans Zimmer — arguably one of the greatest, certainly one of the most prolific film composers of our time, noted for his innovative integration of electronic sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements — on the primetime television series Prehistoric Planet (2022-2025). As always with both Bleeding Fingers’ and Hans Zimmer’s approach to composition, the creation of truly unique sound-worlds played a fundamental role in the development of said score. An audacious project, indeed, it involved the construction of a selection of string instruments built with bones, horns, skulls, and cannibalised classical instruments, including a cello, frame drum, resonating dulcimer, and many more besides. But credit where credit’s due to the killer composing team involved in instinctively understanding that the resulting score’s success merely represented the tip of the iceberg in terms of the potential of their unique inventions and agreeing to share them with the rest of the composing community.

Press release follows:


Ali Modular enters Eurorack marketplace with Esu’s Trifecta available as powerful multi-effects module with Triple FX engine

WASHINGTON, DC, USA: deep joy-encouraging Eurorack module-maker Ali Modular is proud to announce availability of Esu’s Trifecta — readily representing its inaugural entry into the ever-expanding Eurorack marketplace as a powerful multi-effects module, albeit one which stands out from the sound of the crowd courtesy of an ability to run three different serial effects at the same time, thanks to the Triple FX engine driving its intuitive tools that unlock new ways to shape sound and manage the creative process — as of October 2…

As a powerful stereo multi-effects Eurorack module, Esu’s Trifecta is designed to be the ultimate tool for manipulating, shaping, and transforming sound, duly delivering creative possibilities for musicians, live performers, and sound designers alike — whether used as an all-round sound manipulator, end-of-chain effects processor, or sound design tool. Digging deeper, Esu’s Trifecta draws its essence from an orisha — orishas being divine spirits that play a key role in the Yoruba religion of West Africa and several religions of the African diaspora that derive from it — called รˆแนฃรน, the mischievous trickster and guardian of the crossroads, who works to promote balance, order, and harmony, ultimately, despite being known for bringing confusion and unpredictability. It is fair to say that this ethos is effectively embedded deeply into the module’s design. As a result, Esu’s Trifecta creates opportunities for unpredictable sonic exploration while providing the tools to mould sound into harmony and order. On the face of it, the module itself opens up limitless pathways for creativity and sound sculpting — just as รˆแนฃรน signifies infinite possibilities.

The Crow Hill Company Adds Roland CR-78 Based RHYTHM MACHINE to VAULTS


video upload by CROW HILL

"Step back to 1978 and discover the iconic Roland CR-78, the first programmable drum machine that changed the way artists approached rhythm. Before the 808 and modern drum machines, the CR-78 gave musicians the power to create and store their own drum patterns. In the hands of artists like Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, and Blondie, it became iconic. For this Vault, we’ve preserved the much-loved character of the CR-78 and expanded its sonic potential with some tasteful effects."

https://thecrowhillcompany.com/free/

Press release follows:


The Crow Hill Company creates …RHYTHM MACHINE as latest free VAULTS… VI, preserving vintage classic’s character while expanding its sonic potential

EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to announce availability of VAULTS - RHYTHM MACHINE as its latest VI (Virtual Instrument) release ready for all to download and make music with for free for the rest of their lives — literally preserving Roland’s 1978-vintage CR-78 CompuRhythm’s classic character as the Japanese giant of electronic musical instrument manufacturing’s first programmable drum machine (that changed the way artists approached rhythm and, in doing so, stamped its musical mark on a number of notable hit records that subsequently secured its iconic status in the annals of music technology history for all eternity), effectively expanding its sonic potential with some tasteful effects as a result — as of October 1…

Far from stretching the boundaries of truth, it is fair to say that the introduction of Roland’s CR-78 CompuRhythm changed the course of history as the first computer-controlled programmable drum machine. Most rhythm machines before its late-1978 introduction were preset-only affairs, forcing their users to pick from the likes of ‘Bossa Nova’, ‘Rock’, and ‘Waltz’ — more in keeping with the home organ-orientated terminology of the time. The CR-78, however, offered something new — namely, an ability to program rhythm patterns and store them in memory using the external WS-1 programmer optionally offered by Roland. Indeed, its 14 onboard instruments include bass drum, cymbals, hi-hats, rimshot, snare drum, and tambourine alongside several Latin-type sounds, such as bongos, claves, and cowbell — all generated using analogue circuits, giving it a distinctly warm, punchy character. Thanks to the CR-78’s analogue nature, though, the tempo control is not exactly surgical, but this foible only adds to its charm. And, as history has borne out, when placed in the creative musical hands of Blondie, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, and others, it became an iconic instrument in its own right.

Crumar Spirit by Cherry Audio is a meticulously crafted virtual recreation that captures the unique and captivating features of the exceptional analog monosynth from 1983, originally designed by some of the most legendary figures in the synth industry. In collaboration with Crumar, we have reopened a time capsule to revive this Italian cult classic and thoughtfully elevated it with Cherry Audio's signature style.

Spirit is a gateway to sonic experimentation, whether you are after wild, unpredictable timbres or warm, analog tones. It is not a polite instrument. Nor is it clean, safe, or obvious. However, twist a few knobs and it will reward you with some of the most colorful sounds you have ever heard from a virtual analog software synthesizer.

Crumar Spirit includes over 430 sensational presets in 12 categories

Producers will find immediate inspiration in Spirit's extensive preset library, created by a talented sound design team led by veteran sound designer James Terris. And don't miss the Spectres for Spirt Preset Pack (sold separately), featuring an additional 100 additional presets by James Dyson.


A "Little Synth" Designed by Legends

Crumar S.P.A., based in Castelfidardo, Italy, was a notable player in the 1970s musical instrument industry, specializing in home organs, digital pianos, and multi-sound keyboards, and with a significant focus on the U.S. market. Sante Crucianelli, the son of the owner, became the driving force behind Crumar's design and strategies. Crumar became known for its open lab culture, frequently allowing competitors to test instruments, a rare practice for the time. Another key figure during this period was Luciano Jura, a designer, musician, and programmer. Luciano became crucial as Crumar's point of contact with synth pioneer Bob Moog, which led to a collaboration that resulted in the creation of Crumar's Spirit synthesizer.

Although many details have been lost due to the passing of key figures and the closure of Crumar, the development of the Spirit synthesizer in the U.S. is well documented. Key contributors to the project, codenamed "Little Synth," included Moog engineer Jim Scott, Moog clinician and electronic music historian Tom Rhea, and Bob Moog himself. The project likely began around 1980 or 1981, and incorporated elements from earlier projects by Scott and Moog. Rhea played an essential role in defining the Spirit's key features, such as the keyboard scanning setup, panel layout, functional architecture, and technical documentation. The Crumar Spirit went into production and was released in late 1983.

Melody & Probability - #eurorack Session with all AJH SYNTH Sound & Modulation Modules


video upload by AJH Synth Official

"This session consists of 4 voices, mixed, effected and recorded directly into the modular (see 'Modules used' below). A simple Moog-style bass line using the Transistor Ladder Filter is accompanied my a pitched drone from 2 VCO's going into the Wave Swarm, then Fixed Filter Bank 914.

These are joined by a melodic, sequenced part, created with a single VCO going into the Ring SM for sub-bass/sub-octaves, then the Sonic XV Diode filter. This part is randomised later in the track, and uses the Chance Delay for step probability.

Percussion comes from the Entropic Doom, with random stepped voltages from the Tap Tempo VC-LFO modulating it's built-in low pass filter frequency. The Tap Tempo VC-LFO also acts as a clock multiplier for this part, and later the melodic pattern too.

Dr. Endo explores LIVEN Evoke: EXPR//Residue


video upload by SONICWARE

"LIVEN Evoke | Acoustronic Synthesizer with Granular Effect

Dr. Endo – Live Set
PTN12: EXPR//Residue
---
A cinematic ambient track evoking the grandeur of a distant galactic empire, EXPR//Residue begins with a solemn tuba drone and unfolds into a slowly shifting sonic landscape.

The tuba forms the foundation of the piece—its rich tone is enhanced with a harmonic waveform to add depth, and sent through GRAIN FX to transform a simple two-note bassline into a dense, evolving low-frequency texture.

Oboe chords provide a gentle, pad-like atmosphere, blending naturally into reverb to create soft, immersive motion.
Scattered throughout the track, piano accents are pulled and stretched using the BACKTIDE function, adding expressive drag and emotional tension.

One track is dedicated to filtered noise, modulated by an LFO on the low-pass filter cutoff. This creates a storm-like undercurrent that blends beautifully with the reverb, expanding the spatial field of the mix.

This piece explores the remnants of something vast and ancient—a residue of sound and structure left drifting in space.

Moog Mariana 50 Dynamic Presets. No Talking Sound Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"Sequentizer is a collection of 50 patches for the Moog Mariana VST synthesizer, including 21 basses, 22 leads, and 7 textures.
๐ŸŽผ This soundset is dedicated to rhythmical timbres.
Moog Mariana features dual-layer architecture, six LFOs, and four random generators. By combining different modulation waveforms and speeds, it's possible to create rich, evolving, and rhythmically driven sounds.
Simply hold down a key or MIDI note — and the pattern plays itself.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Get these presets: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/mari...

๐Ÿฅ That’s the concept behind the name Sequentizer: while Mariana doesn’t include an internal sequencer, these patches are programmed to simulate complex sequences and rhythmic patterns through modulation alone.

๐Ÿ’Ž The soundset explores a wide tonal spectrum: warm, deep, soft, clean, punchy, dark, bright, aggressive, distorted, detuned and others.
๐ŸŽš The ModWheel brings additional expressiveness — brightening the tone, introducing detune, or expanding the stereo field depending on the patch.

๐Ÿงฟ These presets are versatile and suited for a broad range of genres: ambient, electronica, cinematic, retrowave, synthwave, darkwave, IDM, trip-hop, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, trance, deep, progressive, techno, breaks, jungle, drum and bass, dub, and more.

๐Ÿ’ก Make sure you’re using the latest version of the plugin to ensure compatibility.
To install the presets:
Open the preset browser pop-up menu (top center of the plugin).
Click “Open Presets Folder.”
Move the downloaded presets into this folder.
Restart the plugin — the new patches will appear under the User category."
