"Introducing a Sequencer that set's your musical spirit free, no menu diving, no mouse clicking, just pure unadulterated Jamming. Join Patrick as he gets into this incredible new Behringer Sequencer."
"Bring the power of one of history's most legendary sequencers into your modern setup with the 1601 Sequencer from Behringer, a flexible CV and MIDI sequencer with desktop or Eurorack functionality. This sequencer maintains the same layout and versatile performance capabilities as the original while expanding its design to interact with MIDI and Eurorack CV ranges. There are sixteen steps in total which can be used sequentially, or in a split mode for functionality as two discrete eight-step sequencers. Each step of the sequencer provides a three-position switch which correlates to the three corresponding CV gate outputs for easily crafting multi-part sequences. An additional gate output has been included, which adds AND logic to the first switch position, allowing you to create accents for your sequences without any additional programming required. Modulate your sequences in real time with the FM and Pulse Width sliders and CV inputs, allowing you to affect the sequencer speed and gate length respectively. There are a variety of CV outputs to choose from to get the most out of your sequences, including both quantized and unquantized CV outputs, which can be used simultaneously. The unquantized version outputs raw 0V to 10V depending on the position of the slider on the current step, while the quantized output produces a two-octave voltage range for use with 1V/Oct inputs. Both the quantized and unquantized outputs are split into A and B sections, giving you the same exact functionality when splitting the sequencer into dual eight-step operation.
Included with the 1601 is a powered enclosure for desktop use, but it can be removed and installed in a Eurorack case as an 80hp module for seamless integration into your system. In addition to the 5-pin MIDI output on the front panel, the enclosure includes 5-pin MIDI input and thru, along with a USB jack for sequencing your USB-MIDI compatible gear and software. If you crave the hands-on playability of an analog sequencer, the 1601 Sequencer from Behringer brings the best of the past and present into one versatile sequencer.

"Today I'm pumped to share in the launch day festivities for the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Iota - a pedal shaped synth with big sound and bigger features. Hang out while I go through the controls and then do a play through and exploration!"
"Iota is a tone generator, which is to say, a synth for your pedalboard. It is designed to make playing easy: regardless of your skill level or familiarity with synthesizers, you’ll quickly be making fun sounds, and running them through all your favorite effects. Pick the character of your sound, some notes, and some parameters for how Iota moves through those notes, then set it in motion. Music theory? Sound design? Fret not, just have some fun!
Iota has:
Presets
Expression control over every knob
MIDI control over everything in the pedal, including tempo via MIDI clock and root note via MIDI notes
Mono or stereo output
Aux footswitch for manual triggering of notes, tap tempo, or preset switching
Controls include:
A bank of 12 pushbuttons to set your root note, scale intervals, or one of 12 onboard presets
Osc, Noise, Octave and Volume to shape the core sound
Rate, Range, and Direction to control the speed, range, and direction Iota moves through its sequence of notes
Skip and Hold to create random or patterned skips within the sequence
Bend, Glide and Swing to add a bit more interest to the way the notes move
Env Length, Shape, and Mix to set the way each note swells in or out
"Introducing the RD-765, a Drum Machine that packs a decade of classic Drum Machines into one box. A Hybrid drum machine with 176 drum sounds, sample recording, a 64-step sequencer and a dual-mode analogue filter.
Join Patrick as he jams it up and goes through it's features."
"RD-765 Hybrid drum machine with 176 drum sounds, sample recording, a 64-step sequencer and a dual-mode analogue filter
Classic drum sounds, plus the ones you record yourself.
The groove is nearly there. The kick sits right, but the snare needs a sound nobody else has. With the RD-765, you record that sound yourself and give it a channel in the kit.
176 sounds and your own samples The RD-765 holds 176 drum sounds. Record new samples through the user sampling menu and assign them to an instrument channel. Tune any sample over a range of 24 semitones up or down.
Shape every hit The Wave Designer attack control adds punch to the initial transient. The dual-mode analogue filter runs as low-pass or high-pass, and you can assign it to single voices. A bitcrusher lowers the bit depth of samples when you want grit.
Write patterns your way Play beats in real time or set them step by step, across up to 64 steps. Swing runs from 25 to 75. A per-voice probability setting lets notes come and go, so a pattern keeps moving. Record filter cutoff moves into the pattern as you play. MIDI and USB link the RD-765 to the rest of your setup."
Troy, Illinois — November 11, 2026 — Five Lined Engineering, LLC announces INARA, a line of purpose-built MIDI controllers that bring modern capabilities to classic synthesizers.
INARA combines hands-on controls, expanded patch storage, and modern MIDI connectivity for musicians who want to get more from their existing instruments.
Far more than a generalized surface controller, each INARA model is designed specifically for the synthesizer it supports. Features include a customized control surface, real-time MIDI Control Change (CC) control, generously expanded patch storage through virtual cartridges, and USB-MIDI connectivity. Custom firmware enhancements also improve the experience of using vintage instruments; for example, optimizing the Yamaha DX7’s keyboard velocity response.
INARA eliminates the need for drivers, control-surface templates, and manual MIDI message editing: connect it and start playing. For hands-on operation, it features ergonomically spaced, full-size tactile buttons, 45mm long-throw faders, and a large LCD display. Its compact, lightweight design combines solid construction with rubber feet for secure placement on a synthesizer or other equipment.
“Five Lined Engineering is excited to introduce INARA to musicians who are as passionate about their vintage synthesizers as we are, ” said Gary Sommer, Managing Director of Five Lined Engineering. “It is striking how inspiring, accessible, and fun these synthesizers are when partnered with INARA.”
INARA models are available for the Yamaha DX7, Korg DW-8000, and Roland Alpha Juno.
Additional models are planned. For USB-MIDI connectivity, INARA is class-compliant and compatible with operating systems that support class-compliant USB-MIDI devices.
"A Yamaha CS-80 in spirit: eight voices of two channels, high- and low-pass filters in series, ring modulator, the touch response and 22 tones from the owner's manual. A sound module played over MIDI."
"Another day of AI-sloping firmwares for FM-1, this time a fair lo-fi sampler with 120s of audio, zones/instruments mapping, a free loop sequencer, punch-ins and send-returns. Still not LOOPA but already closer"
A lo-fi sampler that runs on the M-VAVE FM-1 itself, plus a web editor (one HTML file) that builds sample packs and sends them over Bluetooth (BLE MIDI) or USB.
Samples are stored in the FM-1's flash as 16 kHz mono, 2 bit LMS-ADPCM: about 100 s of audio in the 520 KB the firmware has for a pack.
The panel is a menu of ten screens (FX, SEL, ENV, LFO, EDIT, GLO, HOME, SAVE, ARP, SEQ), each with four parameters.
Keyboard zones, scales, per zone envelope / LFO / start / end / reverse, four send effects with punch-ins, an arpeggiator and a live loop sequencer.
The web editor (one HTML file, any Chrome or Edge, Web MIDI) imports audio, slices it, maps it to zones, previews the real 2-bit sound and uploads the pack.
TRoss 303 combines a TB-303-style synthesizer and step sequencer with 64-pattern memory, pattern chaining, controlled random generation and MIDI export.
Its analog circuitry has been modelled component by component from the original schematics, capturing the interaction of the oscillator, filter, envelopes, accents and slides.
All controls are MIDI-mappable, so you can connect your favourite controller and shape the sound hands-on.
"Spoken word with atmospheric music. I recently rewatched American Werewolf in London [great movie!] and the moon happened to be full and bright. This all put me in the mood to read some werewolf-based poetry.
For atmosphere I used my Noisferatu which I talked about in a recent video [posted here]. And some sound effects made using e-ther.

"An unofficial firmware extension for the Waldorf Microwave II, XT and XTk, operating system 2.33:
Independent wavetable selection for both oscillators.
X-Mod: new Phase and Amplitude modulation modes for both oscillators (XT and XTk).
Warp: nine ways to reshape each oscillator's wave as it plays, with two new modulation destinations, W1 Warp and W2 Warp (XT and XTk).
New aliasing settings modeled after the Industrial Music Electronics Piston Honda Mk II Eurorack module.
Interpolation: optional smooth wavetable scanning as on the Synthesis Technology E352 Cloud Terrarium and the Piston Honda, with Startwave in hundredths of a wave.
FX Para 1-3: three new modulation destinations that move the effect's settings, such as its Speed, Feedback or dry/wet mix.
MPE input, with per-note pitch bend, pressure and Y.
MIDI controllers for every new setting.
The Tallent Edition Sounds: 80 Sounds and nine wavetables that use the new features.
All original features remain. On an XT or XTk, the new pages sit behind Shift with the Wavetable, FM Amount and Env Amount knobs. A Microwave II plays 8 voices and reaches the new pages with the Page dial. Waldorf's update can be loaded again at any time.
"I created a custom patch for the official 2.3.4 firmware that adds a screen saver, speed change without pitch change, vertical waveform zoom, and an easy way to reset parameters to their defaults."
Additional details via the developer:
"I’ve put together a free, unofficial customization of 1010music Bitbox MkII firmware 2.3.4, adding a few features I’ve wanted on my own module. The customized version identifies itself as 2.3.4+c.
What’s added:
Vertical waveform zoom: pinch/spread vertically to adjust waveform height from 25–3200%. This makes quiet samples easier to see and lets you shrink loud waveforms. Horizontal zoom still works normally. A stationary two-finger tap restores 100% vertical zoom and horizontal fit. This only changes the display, not the audio.
Optional screen saver: a black screen after 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of inactivity. It’s disabled by default, under Tools → Disp. Playback continues while blanked. The first touch, button press, or encoder movement only wakes the display, preventing accidental edits.
Optional MIDI/CV-trigger wake: choose MIDI, CV triggers, or both. MIDI clock and active sensing are excluded. Unlike physical wake controls, the first incoming musical event still performs its normal action.
Pitch-preserving Speed: 50–200% playback speed, with a dedicated SPEED dial on the Sample-mode LFO/Spd page. It supports live adjustment and the normal INFO modulation editor, including LFO/CV modulation. At 100%, it uses native playback.
Double-tap dial defaults: double-tap a numeric dial to restore its default base value. Modulation sources and amounts remain intact.

The sound of NES, Game Boy and C64 in a desktop MIDI box – play it from any keyboard, sequencer or DAW
WHAT IS IT?
NIBBLE brings the sound of 1980s games consoles and home computers to your MIDI setup: pulse waves with duty-cycle "wah", the stepped NES triangle, noise, and 4-bit Game Boy-style wavetables – plus the tricks chip musicians relied on, like lightning-fast chord arpeggios, stepped envelopes, pitch sweeps and tracker-style macros.
Draw your own waves on the built-in wave editor, watch every voice on the live oscilloscope, and add authentic tracker "fake echo". A chip drum kit on its own MIDI channel includes an orchestra hit and crunchy 1-bit speech – GO! YEAH! ONE TWO THREE FOUR! GAME OVER! – and there is a step and loop sequencer, plus a demo tune with a dancing spider.
8-Voice 4-Operator FM • X-MOD Chaos • Morph • Arpeggiator • Hand-Built in Northern Ireland
A desktop FM synthesiser – play it from any MIDI keyboard, sequencer or DAW
WHAT IS IT?
FIMM is an 8-voice, 4-operator FM synthesiser with an engine written from scratch. It does the bright electric pianos, bells, basses, brass and metallic tones of the classic 1980s FM keyboards – and then goes much further.
The X-MOD section adds cross-modulation, ring modulation and hard sync, driven by the mod wheel, LFO, velocity, aftertouch, random or chaos sources, for sounds that growl, clang, tear and fall apart. Morph glides one patch into another as you play, and there is a built-in arpeggiator, chorus, delay and reverb. It also imports Yamaha voice banks over MIDI SysEx: 4-operator DX100, DX21, DX27 and TX81Z banks load directly, and DX7 voices are converted too – exactly when they use four operators, and as the closest 4-operator match when they use five or six.
4 Independent LFOs • Encoder Control • Hand-Built in Northern Ireland
Free-running or MIDI clock-synced — pair with any clock source for tempo-locked sweeps
WHAT DOES IT DO?
REVIVE is a standalone 4-LFO MIDI CC generator. Each of its four LFOs runs completely independently — its own waveform, speed, depth, MIDI channel, CC number and output routing — sending smooth, evolving modulation to your synths, effects and modular gear over regular 5-pin DIN MIDI.
Run each LFO free at its own rate — from fast vibrato-speed wobble right down to a genuinely glacial ~8-minute sweep — or lock it to incoming MIDI clock for tempo-synced modulation. Store up to 8 complete 4-LFO patches on board, and switch anytime between a full-screen icon/dial view or a classic text readout, whichever you prefer to work in.
"Three variations. One powerful analogue workstation.
This video brings together three related multipart sequences on the Analogue Solutions Maximus 8V. Each develops the same musical idea through changes to the sequencing and sound, showing how a few adjustments can take a composition in a new direction.
The Maximus 8V is the ultimate analogue workstation. Play it as a traditional eight-voice polysynth, or give each voice its own sound and sequence to build layered compositions. Explore basslines, melodic patterns, percussion and evolving textures within one instrument.
Independent controls for every voice put sound design at the heart of the process. Shape individual parts, explore their interaction, and let the instrument inspire the next idea.
Features include:
• Eight independent analogue synth voices with 16 VCOs
• Eight onboard 16 step note and modulation sequencers
• 12dB low pass, band pass and high pass filters per voice
• Two ADSR envelopes per voice
• Sub oscillator, white noise and glide per voice
• Individual BBD style retro echo per voice
• Eight channel stereo mixer
• Two real spring reverbs
• Three master LFOs
• Global tune, detune and filter cutoff controls
• Extensive patching and modulation options
• Polyphonic MIDI to CV conversion and MIDI synchronisation
From rich polyphonic sounds to interlocking sequences, Maximus 8V puts an extraordinary range of analogue possibilities at your fingertips."
