Chasma Legio: Mid/side dynamics processor on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Chasma Legio is a mid/side dynamics processor built for shaping, gluing, widening, and completely wrecking a stereo mix.

Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Chasma splits your stereo signal into its Mid and Side components, giving us independent control over the dynamics of what's happening in the center and out at the edges.

Let's start with the Mid and Side Compressor switches. Each gives you three levels of dynamics processing.

Then you have separate Mid and Side Limit controls. These set the ceiling for each, letting you push and shape the two parts of the stereo field independently.

And then there's Distortion. Keep it near the center and things stay clean. Turn it to the right for saturation, and to the left and you enter glitchy, popping territory.

And because we are Noise Engineering, you have an FSU input. Hit it with a gate and Chasma instantly changes the Mid and Side processing for some dramatic shifts in the mix.

Chasma is just one of the free firmwares you can explore on the Legio platform. Connect your Legio over USB and swap between them whenever you want.

The Friday Walkabout - Beijing Modular 26

video upload by sonicstate

"Nick takes a walk on Friday through Beijing Modular 26 as the venue moves from setup into performances, with a focus on The Cube, the exhibition halls, installation spaces and live rooms.

The Cube includes large atrium areas, exhibition halls, video walls, projection installations and multiple performance spaces. The layout includes an ambient room, a techno room, a modular stage and a Dolby Atmos stage. Several rooms use Void sound systems, while the Atmos space uses a Genelec multichannel setup.

The event is free to attend, with artists playing short sets throughout the day and into the night. The ambient room runs in an EMOM-style format, with tables set up for compact live rigs and performances happening in close succession.

It's an amazing space, and a really interesting mix of art, architecture and music - quite an experience!

Megafold Legio: Wavefolder+waveshaper and chorus on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Megafold Legio combines our wavefolder with waveshaping, dynamics tracking, and stereo chorus for all sorts of harmonic destruction.

Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Let's start with Gain. This drives your signal into the wavefolder, adding more folds and harmonic complexity as you push it.

Shape changes the character of the folding itself, giving you another way to transform the harmonics and completely reshape your sound.

And when Gain and Shape are pulled back, they work together as a blend, letting you mix the processed sound with your original signal.

Envelop lets Megafold follow the dynamics of your incoming audio, so the folding and shaping can respond to how your sound changes over time.

Then there's stereo chorus. One switch controls the amount while the other changes its speed, adding stereo movement to all that folded mayhem.

And if you need a little more mayhem, send a gate to FSU.

Today your Legio is folding, shaping, and chorusing your sound. A quick USB swap and it can be crushing bits, processing dynamics, mangling grains, or doing something completely different.

This is the weirdest pedal he owns … and He loves it! // The Square from NWS [PEDALS & PATCHES]

video upload by DivKid

"Whether its turning simple mono synths into sounding like music easels, taking a basic polysynth and making it sound like a complex oscillator or just generally continuing to be a weird and wonderful effect for synths ... I'm pretty fascinating with this one. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

The Square // https://nicksworldofsynthesizers.co.u...
Check out Nick’s inventions // https://nicksworldofsynthesizers.co.uk"

THE SQUARE

The Square ring modulator pedal, Boutique, Hand Made & Designed By Me.

Intro

The Square pedal is simply a ring modulator that takes the input signal and sends it to both inputs of the ring modulator at the same time.

Despite it's simplicity, The Square is capable of producing a wide variety of sounds depending on what you put into it.

Each pedal is unique and made by hand, from the hand bent metal enclosure to the component choices and tolerances. Imperfections are considered part of the aesthetic appeal both sonically and physically.

To understand what the pedal is and all the magical things it can do for your musical productions, we strongly recommend watching the video from DivKid below.

Synthesizers.com Announces the Q215 DIGITAL REVERB

via Synthesizers.com

Note: Synthesizers.com is happy to announce they are showing off their new design this weekend at the Brooklyn Synth EXPO, October 17-18, 2026.

COMING SOON -- NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER ONLY

The Q215 DIGITAL REVERB from Synthesizers.com.

We are proud to announce that we have added a multi-mode STEREO reverb to our lineup. Featuring detailed reverbs created to work well within a modular setup, this module is sure to add new sounds and textures to your case that are sure to inspire you.

With multiple reverb algorithms, the Q215 can easily fill the role of everything from a subtle spatial enhancer to an intense sonic shaper -- especially if you add modulation to any of the four CV inputs. You may find yourself in some decidedly abstract territory, creating dream-like soundscapes or ambient dub workouts with just a twist of a knob.

We have chosen ease of use over pages of menus. Simply use the Mode button to select the next algorithm. Some are more natural while others are decidedly synthetic.

The Q215 features a wide range of reverb styles, some of which even include period accurate sample rate adjustments to capture the proper tone. (The two Abstract Large Hall algorithms are decidedly dark and gritty -- part of that darkness comes from the 32Khz sample rate for those modes.)

The module puts out a STEREO SIGNAL (though it still sounds great in mono) from a mono input or a stereo input. The module will process all the usual +/-5V signals but can also work with line level signals as well, such as drum machines and synthesizers. The built in GAIN control allows the user to adjust the headroom and can be pushed into slight clipping if so desired.

Retromulator 1.11 - CA-72 Moog Model D Core Demo

video upload by discoDSP

https://www.discodsp.com/retromulator/

"The Minimoog has the voice many of us first fell in love with: a fat bass that sits under everything, a lead that cuts through any mix, a filter you can play like a second instrument.

The CA-72 by Idle Foundry rebuilds a 1972 Model D from the inside. Every board was transcribed from the service documents into SPICE netlists, and the real-time model was derived from those simulations and calibrated against a real instrument, so the oscillators drift, the ladder filter sings and the mixer breaks up the way the original does.

Its front panel opens right below the Retromulator rack. LO, HI and ULTRA quality trade CPU for detail, and offline bounces always render with the 4x engine. DOUBLE, SPREAD and ENTROPY add a detuned twin, stereo width and the small differences between two real units. Presets are .fxp files in Factory and User banks with .fxb bank import and export, selected by MIDI Program Change, and every panel control answers a MIDI CC."

Learn to creatively use dynamics processing in Eurorack // DYN by Timo Rozendal & Surreal Machines

video upload by DivKid

"In this video we'll be exploring dynamics processing, learning about functions that are typically a music production and studio tool and applying them to Eurorack sound shaping and getting creative within a modular environment.

Dyn is a new module from Timo Rozendal made in collaboration with Surreal Machines with DSP based on their plug in 'Crack'. It's a 14HP stereo noise gate, transient designer, maximizer, limiter and clipper. There's lots of hands on control and easy to assign CV control too."

via Perfect Circuit

Timo Rozendal Dyn
Dyn from Timo Rozendal is a stereo transient shaper that's exceptional at creating hard hitting percussion or dialing back overly aggressive transients in your mix. It includes a suite of dynamics processing tools based on Surreal Machine's Crack plugin and optimized for drum sounds. A transient shaper is a specialized kind of limiter with an ultra fast attack stage envelope that works primarily on hard spikes in volume such as the initial impact of a stick hitting a drum.The large attack and sustain knobs provide the core parameter adjustments on Dyn. Lower the attack time to create sharp hits that cut through the mix, or increase it to smooth out harsh transitions. Adjust sustain to control the body of the hit post-transient, either making it fuller or tighter. Use the noise gate to reduce the level of quieter sounds between hits, crank the maximizer to push the overall level, and adjust the limiter to set the peak. Blend in your dry signal with the processed sound for parallel processing of your sounds. At the end of the chain, a clipper controls the final output level. Route an external CV source to any of the main parameters to add additional automation. Dyn from Timo Rozendal perfectly pairs with your drum voices or samples, particularly when you need them to stand out in the mix.

Additional Tone Tweakers Listings

Pics of the inside below.

"This unit was professionally serviced. The Synergy II+ is a digital additive/FM synthesizer that sounds like no other. Somewhat similar to the extremely popular Yamaha DX7, it's tone is mellower and warmer. A popular website states 700-800 were made and estimates less than 100 are in operation today. We don't know how they came up with this estimation, but this one's working great, as we just fully serviced it. Famous users include Jay Wires, Wendy Carlos, BT (crumar gds), Junkie XL and Steely Dan. Carlos used it on the Tron soundtrack and other recordings.

Previously, one needed an old Kaypro computer with special software to edit sounds, but someone recently developed an editor that can be run on a modern computer. We haven't used it yet but are really excited to. Please buy this now, before we decide to keep it!

This particular example includes the circuitry of a Kaypro or equivalent computer's CPU. (See pics) Connections were added to the back panel for the accessories, but they were not included when we purchased this item, so we were unable to test this additional computer and disconnected it during restoration, though we left it in place in case a future owner has access to accessories and wants to try to get it running (no guarantees about that though since we didn't test it). The ports on the back have not been tested as we don't have anything that hooks up to them.

There are currently a few patches that are silent, and the first one is low volume and voices change octaves in a seemingly random fashion. We suspect these patches just need to be reprogrammed. At some point, we hope to find time to download and learn the modern editing software mentioned above so we can reprogram these patches, but time is limited, so we may just leave this up to the next owner who we assume will want to load in their own patches. The patches currently in memory are a mix of organ, piano and what seem to be orchestral type sounds."

Midicake UNA Sart MIDI Arpeggiator - SonicLAB Presentation

video upload by sonicstate

"Chris joins us in the studio to show us the new *midicake Una*, a compact MIDI processor and sequencer that takes ideas from MIDI Cake ARP and puts them into a smaller keyboard-focussed format with three intelligent parts driven by MIDI input.

Note: UNA has gained a number of new features and UI improvements since this was filmed, including the Patch Chain and Program Change features mentioned in the video. Head to https://midicake.com/una for what's in the shipping firmware.

UNA is designed to be a musical idea capture device. It uses incoming notes as a harmonic source for three parts: chord, melody and bass. The chord track drives rhythm and harmony, the melody track works as a more complex arpeggiator/sequencer, and the bass track adds generated or edited bass movement. It reverse-engineers played ideas into its parametric sequencing engine rather than simply recording MIDI. It can also be attached to a low cost Android tablet directly for a larger interactive UI to expand control options.

Key features include per-parameter sequencing for pitch, gate, velocity, slice, octave, MIDI channel and delay. It supports ratchets, trills, swing, Euclidean-style mutes and accents, probability-based variation, chord chains, chord suggestions and live play with sustain. Luna also has two MIDI outputs and can route or sequence across multiple MIDI channels.

Una early bird launch offer £399 / $519 / €479 for the first 150 units and sells direct from https://midicake.com"



"Meet Midicake UNA, a hands-on hardware composer for keyboards, synths, and the people who play.

Capture a melody, then play the keyboard. UNA's rhythm, melody and bass tracks follow your chords. Every sequence is parametric and deterministic, so you shape it hands-on and the same settings always give you the same pattern. A pattern is only yours if you can repeat it.

In this video:
• Capture melodies by step recording or in real time
• Change mutes, steps and direction without touching a note
• Step-sequence every main parameter and slice notes
• Chain chords into progressions, and UNA keeps every track in harmony
• Mix tracks and pick from the factory patterns
• Add controlled variation to the bass with probability
• Modulate internal parameters and MIDI CCs with waveforms and step sequences
• Solo over the top with pitch quantisation
• Switch patches on the fly and chain them into patch progressions

Undersong, a walkthrough: turn audio into tuned particles (Max for Live and iPad)

video upload by ijo audio

"In this video I walk through Undersong, my audio effect that acts more like an instrument. It's out now as a Max for Live device and for iPhone and iPad.

Undersong is based on an idea I had for a live performance that ended up taking on a life of its own. Some of my past devices have been pretty immediate. You drop them on a track and they do the thing you're expecting. But this one really feels more like an environment that you have to get to know a little bit, kind of like a modular workstation full of ideas I like. They're often ambient leaning, but I think it's open to other types of music as well.

How to make the Korg Minilogue XD sound like a Roland JP-8000

video upload by MrSynthmania

"Transform your Korg Minilogue XD into a trance legend!

Get the bundle of 16 Oscillator-Models here: https://synthmania.de/produkt/minilog...

Get the iconic Roland JP-8000 SUPERSAW sound as a digital User Oscillator – with the same parameters as the original.

This is part of my complete Bundle with additional 15 powerful User Oscillators for the Minilogue XD and NTS-1 (MKi).

In this video I’m showing the SUPERSAW in a short trance track and walking through some of the custom parameters:

🎛️ Phase – Control the massive width of the 7 supersaw waves
🎛️ Mix – Balance the dry and detuned signals perfectly
🎛️ Brightness – Open up the filter character for piercing leads
🎛️ SubOsc – Add massive low-end to your supersaw patches
🎛️ Octave Switch – Choose between 1 or 2 octaves for the SubOsc
🎛️ Drive – Boost the punch of the sound

Perfect for owners of the Minilogue XD who want classic trance and progressive sounds."

"This oscillator was written from the ground up in C++ for maximum efficiency and sonic uncompromising quality. Instead of simply stacking standard sawtooth waves, the code uses mathematical refinements otherwise found only in high-end plugins:

Original detune behavior: The oscillator calculates the phase behavior of 7 synchronized sawtooths using the exact asymmetric detune ratios of the original Roland JP-8000.

Fully band-limited: By employing optimized band-limited sawtooth algorithms, the sound stays absolutely clean and free of annoying aliasing even in the highest notes.

Analog-modulated filter design: Inside the code runs a cascade of four highpass filters plus a specialized high-shelf EQ based on BiQuad filter structures. This delivers an extremely clean bass range and silky highs.
