Tight industrial jam by Stephen McCaul of Noise Engineering


video upload by Noise Engineering

"Here's a tight industrial jam by Noise Engineering's Chief Noisemaker Stephen McCaul.

The bottom case is a six voice case with Incus Iteritas Alia (2), Debel Iteritas Alia, Tymp Legio, Manis Iteritas Alia, Virt Iter Legio + Ampla Legio.

There is a Librae Legio for the percussion submix (paralleling the main mix) and an Electus Versio on a send. The rhythm sequencing is from an experimental prototype that isn't really product worthy.

Pitch sequencing comes from Opp Ned. And the Xer Mixa mixer ties it all together.

The top case is an effects rig for another project but i used a Fala Versio and a Yester Versio in that case for some additional effects.

Xfer Serum 2: Dark Rhythmic Presets. Arps, Pads, Basses Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"❄️ Alchemy Of Glacial Rhythms is a bank of 50 rhythmic presets for Xfer Serum 2, inspired by the north and its cold winters, which are accompanied by a special dark magic. The core idea of the bank was to create rhythmic, atmospheric, and "cold" sounds that evoke a certain magic. The result was brutal yet ethereal arps, growling basslines, magic pads, cold noisy synths, and mystical textures.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/seru...
The bank includes 50 Presets: 10 arps, 10 basses, 10 pads, 10 synths, 10 textures.
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).

🔮 The soundset spans a wide range of tones, from warm, deep and atmospheric textures to clean, punchy, bright and airy timbres. The sounds include different combinations of oscillators in different modes, such as wavetable, FM, granular and spectral as well as different types of reverbs, delays, distortions, filters, and modulations.
Presets are suitable for genres such as ambient, cinematic, IDM, experimental, techno, breakbeat, jungle and many others.

🎛 Macros can change tone, stereo width, modulation depth and rate, noise level, distortion, detuning, space/echo/reverb, effects mix, envelope parameters, and others.
You may control them via MIDI controller, use them for automation, or map the macros to your DAW modulators like LFO, Shaper, and others.

ModWheel adds expressiveness to the timbre.

❗️Compatible only with Serum 2. Not compatible with Serum 1.
Installation: Open the Serum menu and click 'Show Serum Presets Folder.' You will see folders containing different Serum content. Open the 'Presets' folder and place the new bank (folder) of presets there."

via this Reverb listing

"Unique 'All-in-one' Vintage Synth. I purchased this locally from a hammond organ repair shop & brought it home, I was blown away by the accessible drum sounds & pattern based sequencing. Usually these type of keyboard is a "kids toy" but this was different, with the pure analog sounds piercing through my speakers, this thing busted through a mix with warm & 80's tones. The playable foot pedals are really fun connecting to the bass sounds. This is not only a collectors item with music history, but it's a playable instrument for synth wave, disco & electronic music producers & enthusiasts. The arpeggios & patterns spark inspiration & the drum sounds come in handy for even just sampling into a song manually if you are recording & only one to use one instrument for the entire song!

I've dived into this synth on many occasions & did the other night, so I know everything is in working order. I would recommend reading the manual since some of the standard workflow we are used to in 2025 wasn't normalized back then.

INCLUDEDS

- Synth, Original IEC Power, Cable, Keyboard Cover, 3 Soft Cases, Foot Pedal, Volume & Control Pedal

I have the original stand, but I have NOT INCLUDED it in the listing since it would add significant weight & size to the shipping. If you are interested, let me know!"

FOLKTEK ALTER Y GUITAR MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR PEDAL

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this listing

Additional Signal Sounds listings

You can find demos and additional details in additional posts here.

"Manufacturer's description
Alter Y is the pedal version of Alter 2 eurorack module featuring four 1/4" jacks in addition to 1/8" as well as buffered switching that allows for trails.

Though it functions the same as other pedals, this pedal is a little different. Most pedals are made for guitars and then artists may choose to use them in different ways. We made this pedal to work with either standard ¼” jacks (for both input and output) or 1/8” (3.5mm) jacks for use with anything else. For those who like to use CV (control voltage) for any eurorack format, cv keyboard, or pedals which output cv (eg. expression or sequencing), all four of the main knobs have cv inputs (mix, x, y, filter) so you can control your knobs without touching if the desire strikes you.

These pedals accept guitar, line or eurorack levels.

The enclosure is very thick, gold plated PCB (it’s very, very tough).

Included power is standard for most pedals (2.1mm, -tip)

We wanted a broad array of effects in each X and Y pedal so each is a mashup of effects which we thought complimented one another when used together. Running X into Y or vis versa creates some powerful changes."

"11/30/25 Metasonix D-2000 + MFB SEQ-1 + Roland SPH-323 + Peavey 1300 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

ALM Pamela’s New Workout clocks the MFB SEQ-1, which is triggering the Metasonix D-2000. The D-2000 mix output runs through the Roland SPH-323 phase shifter into the Peavey 1300 delay, in a double mode with heavy feedback. That signal runs to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, where a reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II is applied."

Rob Papen DelGrain - Creative Granular Delay


video upload by Rob Papen

Press release follows:


Rob Papen announces availability of DelGrain as creative granular delay, extending effect plug-in product line with yet more out-of-the-box thinking

ECHT, THE NETHERLANDS: virtual instrument and effect plug-in developer Rob Papen Inspiration Soundware is proud to announce availability of DelGrain — duly thinking out of the box to extend its effect plug-in product line as a creative granular delay featuring fanciful routings, a distortion feature, and FILTER, while also featuring the same DISRUPT spherical slider shared by its DelSane (stereo delay demonstrating ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ behaviour) and LowSane (‘lo-fi’ sound sculpting-specialising effect) software siblings, aimed at experimental artists, mixers, and producers — as of November 28…

It is fair to say that DelGrain has a lot in common with its DelSane software sibling, the main difference obviously being that — as its name implies — it offers a delay that plays back audio in a granular or grainy way. With that in mind, then, the granular change to the audio can be placed ahead of the delay, inside the delay, or parallel to the delay. But better still, the size of the ‘grains’ can be adjusted (GRAIN SIZE) — even in a tempo-based way, the length of the ‘grains’ (GRAIN LEN) can be be tempo-based as well, while the GRAIN SEMI tune feature has a 12-semitone range, both up and down; by being tempo-based, the granular delay itself is ideally suited to rhythmic usage on drums and percussion loops.

Reveals Rob Papen himself — both in his capacity as a virtual instrument and effect plug-in developer par excellence and also as his namesake company’s Managing Director: “DelGrain can produce some sweet-sounding delays with swirly granular sound, but its real power lies in its special sounds — not only on drums and percussion, but also on vocals, for instance. Its DISRUPT sphere with the tempo-based SPRING BACK feature allows you to change DelGrain’s parameters dynamically, and there is also a tempo-based LAZY MODE…” — meaning that the movement of that DISRUPT spherical slider can be automated in different directions, allowing users to also create new types of creative modulation sounds.

Speaking of creative sounds, Rob Papen saw fit to add a FILTER featuring a high-pass and low-pass combination, a band-pass filter, and a vocal/vowel filter that can be placed after the delay/granular combination at different spots. But before the audio even enters the granular delay, an added distortion module makes the sound options even more exciting.

Evidently excited by his namesake company’s latest creation, Rob Papen takes pride in rattling off several more exciting-sounding features that floats his creative boat by adding, “There is a self-explanatory DRY/WET MIX dial and an FX MIX dial that can mix between the ‘granular delay’ and ‘tape delay’ sounds — by the way, the ‘delay’ inside DelGrain is based on a tape delay algorithm; an AUDIO FOLLOWER input is available for side-chain control, and it can also be used to control the DISRUPT sphere; there are four different modulation slots for those who want to control DelGrain via MIDI; and last, but by no means least, DelGrain comes with the BANK MANAGER and many presets — perfect as a starting point.”

Put it this way: while it is understandable that some might take the idea of another delay plug-in promising to be different to so many others already out there with a GRAIN of salt — pun intended, it would be surely seriously remiss of Rob Papen not to assure them that DelGrain definitely delivers on that well-worn claim!

DelGrain is available — as a 64-bit AAX-, AU-, VST-, and VST3-compatible virtual instrument plug-in for Mac (OS X 10.15 or higher, ARM processor compatible) and as a 64-bit VST- and VST3-compatible virtual instrument plug-in for PC (Windows 7 or higher) with 64-bit AAX compatibility available for PT 12 or higher (PC) — at an attractive price of only €35.00 EUR/$35.00 USD from authorised Rob Papen dealers worldwide or as a download directly from Rob Papen for that same price via its dedicated webpage, which also features more in-depth information, here: https://www.robpapen.com/DelGrain.html

DelGrain is included in eXplorer-10 (https://www.robpapen.com/explorer-10.html), the latest version of Rob Papen’s all-encompassing bundle, at no additional cost; existing owners only have to download the latest installer and run it to add WirePluck to their Rob Papen virtual instrument and effect plug-in collection.

ELZ_1 play V2 x Kuro Kasetto — Eurorack Session


video upload by SONICWARE

"ELZ_1 play V2: https://sonicware.jp/pages/elz_1-play
Only a Dozen V2 Launch Edition Units with Special Case Coming in Early December — Secure Yours Now!

For this piece, I used the preset 'Resophonic Gt', a plucked-style sound with a short envelope that gives it a string-like, percussive character, perfect for melodies and short phrases.
I worked with the Wavetable engine, switching between several waves: '2 Echos' (my favorite), 'Clavinet', 'AnotherWT', 'Electric Piano', and 'FM+Crush'.
For effects, I alternated between 'Grain Particle' and 'Grain Uncertain' to add that beautiful granular texture, and used a 'Plate reverb' as the master effect.

To integrate the ELZ_1 play with my Eurorack setup, I used the Collide 4 module by Joranalogue and Hainbach to match the signal levels to Eurorack standards and to take advantage of its filter and amplifier.
I began by recording some 2 Echos notes into the Morphagene by Make Noise, then pitched them down and layered another take on top, letting the module work its magic to further enhance the sound.
I also added a few notes from different sequencers and oscillators, blending them into the mix, which was processed through the Typhoon module for additional movement and texture.

Next, I recorded several loops: Clavinet on channel 1, Electric Piano on channel 2, and FM+Crush on channel 3. Each loop has a different length, and I played them in offset so they evolve in an asynchronous, shifting way.
While performing, I also reversed playback back and forth, creating variation in both notes and texture so the piece never repeats in the same way.

For the live part, I used AnotherWT and 2 Echos, experimenting with effects and octaves. These layers were recorded into channel 4 of the looper in real time, following the same offset looping approach as earlier in the piece.
During recording, I used the Collide 4 to shape and amplify the ELZ_1 play’s signal, adding even more character to the sound, and the Typhoon module to blend everything together in a beautiful, immersive space.

It’s a piece that invites exploration, one could easily spend hours lost in the endless sonic possibilities of the ELZ_1 play and modular synthesis.

"#Elmyra2 v2.4 — What’s New and Improved Sound Engine

Higher sample rate and improved wavetable resolution → noticeably cleaner top end. New wavetables added. Overall mix saturation refined, with “soft” (122) now default. Knob value stability and tuning precision improved.

Filters
New comb filter (codes 3321/3322). RESO = damping, CUTOFF = delay time, with optional pitch tracking. Ladder filter reworked — now true multimode (LP/BP/HP) with higher quality. Ladder LP (331) is the new default filter. State-variable filter retains LP/BP/HP modes (341–343) but with improved gain staging, resonance, and cutoff ranges.

Delay & Reverb
Delay fully re-implemented → cleaner feedback, no lock-ups.
Added proper reverb engine controllable with delay knobs.
Code 441 = delay (default), 442 = new reverb, 4411 = legacy lo-fi reverb.
TIME = decay, FDBK = color, MIX = blend.
Dry/wet crossfade curve improved for smoother transitions.

Modulation
New MODP: oscillator hard-sync (orange LED, position 5).
MOD controls the synced oscillator pitch.
LFO1 knob-motion recording (code 2413) — record live movement of LFO rate. Sequencer output to LFO1 possible (243v).
Per-voice sequencer clock divider (11sv).
Digitally controlled envelopes in multiple short modes (221v → very short … 224v → disable). Detune MODP range expanded.

Scales & Chromatic Mode
New musical scales for chromatic mode: major, minor, major pentatonic, minor pentatonic (CHRM + 11–14). Scale selection now unified under the CHRM button. Knob-to-pitch mapping in chromatic mode is now linear and exact.

User Interface & Workflow

LED feedback overhaul — REC and PLAY flash to confirm code entry, sequence record, mute, and drone states. Quick mute/unmute voice (MODP + PG long press). Quick octave switch (MODP + double-tap PG).
Pink MODP LED at startup identifies firmware 2.4.
Touchpad LEDs more reliable during operation.
Drone and mute response feels snappier.

Under-the-hood Fixes
State-variable filter crash fixed (previously triggered by fast cutoff modulation).
Improved detune, filter, and delay behaviors under modulation load.
Sequencer timing more consistent with internal clock."
