conduit.dsp - Robin Control Lite - Randomized Sampler Audio Plugin Prototype Features
video upload by conduit dsp
via the maker:
"I made a free VST3/AU plugin called Robin Control Lite. It's a simple monophonic round robin style-sampler that features controlled randomization for all parameters. It's a simple concept, but I created it primarily to facilitate the sample randomization for sound design projects.
Dead Simple UX/UI: Every MIDI key triggers the current sample pool at its natural pitch, with controls designed for quick, intuitive adjustments.
True Monophonic Round Robin Playback: Samples cycle intelligently in series or random order so no two hits ever sound identical — essential for natural-sounding SFX and percussion
Microsonic Plug-In The same microsonic engine as the ODD-1, running in your DAW.
[ LIVE ] Use ODD-1V as a MIDI-capable live effect on your tracks. Four playheads you tune by hand. Eight-voice re-pitching from your keyboard. Full modulation on every parameter.
[ SYNTH ] Load up to eight stereo samples across two independent layers. Four playheads each, every one with its own speed, pitch and TIME PATH. Control-click any control to make it a modulation destination.
"oh dear, what do we have here? an @illuminationent minion on the hunt for the perfect instrument? oh wow, our minion found the @roland_aus Go Keys 3 Minion Edition! what a happy day :)

our minions x Brtiney collab was performed by our very own James Rika-Heke and he even brought in his own Minions Suit, ready for Halloween!"
NOTE: this is the first demo to feature the MiniMOO on MATRIXSYNTH. The only other post to featuring the MiniMOO dates back to this screenshot in 2007. The site linked there, Church of the 16th bit, is still live!
"Quick look at the Electric Cow Sound Chip Synth (aka MiniMOO) for Atari STE/STFM/TT/Falcon - including it's features and sound demos. This programme lets you access and edit parametes of the Yamaha YM soundchip to create sounds and play them back via MIDI. It's fairly decent synth tbh - the oscillator has various detuning, sub osc / 'stacking' options, capable of some nice chorus-y sounds, a noise source, amplitude modulation and LFO for pitch modulation as well as an envelope that can either be used for pitch or amplitude. The latency is useable with MIDI data that does not have too many notes per bar, and you can play it in real time, but if you throw too many notes at it, it gets a bit latent and/or seems to buffer notes and play them back after a delay. Judging by the name, I guess it was meant to be a MiniMoog emulator if sorts - but that's dubious at best despite that it's a really solid bleep bloop machine!

"EDP / Wasp Synthesizers Gnat Special. Iconic, rare British monosynth.
This synth is super rare. There were only about 100 made circa 1980/81.
This one is serial number 0075, made of beautiful solid mahogany wood.
Comes in original matching serial numbered box!
Condition is immaculate like new, you will never find one like this.
Fully tested recently and fully working With excellent analogue sound.
The link socket works too so it can be triggered by an appropriate midi interface. It's like a small version of the more famous Wasp and has a single oscillator with analogue filter. It is fat as you like and makes big gorgeous bass noises and all sorts of other stuff besides. The "enhance" setting (some kind of PWM ) makes it sound bigger than the Wasp. It has a lowpass resonant filter, an envelope with attack and decay controls and an LFO which can modulate the pitch or filter. It has a black and gold touch-sensitive keyboard. This is the Special so there's no built in speaker, just a single mono 1/4" output. These normally had a very slight audio leakage at certain settings."
Note the above video is from January 10, 2025. It reminds me of Textquencer which made its first appearance on the site back in 2022. Sequences from Semiotic Sequencer can be exported as a MIDI file.
"The Semiotic Sequencer: Merging Music and Meaning: https://www.mutestate.com/itu/seq_og_... [link to online version. BTW, "sequence this" makes for a good sequence - just paste it in multiple times. See this link for additional info]
The Semiotic Sequencer is a tool created by jazz musician, composer, and sound artist Tao Højgaard, known as Mute State. This tool is not just an artistic experiment but a conceptual bridge between music, linguistics, and semiotics. By translating text into musical sequences, the sequencer creates a sensory dialogue between language and sound, sparking curiosity and innovation at their intersection.
Why It Matters
At its core, the sequencer embodies a shared curiosity between science and art—a desire to explore abstract ideas and transform them into tangible, meaningful experiences. Just as science seeks answers and art provokes questions, this sequencer offers a unique way to navigate the uncharted territory between these realms. It reveals the rhythm, melody, and harmony inherent in written language, providing new insights into the musicality of language.

"This year at Superbooth, one of the tents that I returned to multiple times was the Synthux Academy tent, mostly to snatch another few minutes with, what is arguably their current flagship product: Spotykach.
Spotykach is one of those wonderful bits of gear that sits in the intersection of effect and instrument, and its focus is around exploring looping in all its forms - emulating tape techniques as well as various eras of digital looping and sampling. It feels to me like a companion to the music making process. It’s surprising without being unpredictable, new ideas are readily born out of whatever input you provide - a perpetual stream of happy accidents.
It can also be approached in many different ways, but in this video as we explore its features, I’m going to focus on one particular way of using it - a more open, unsynchronized, exploratory approach, which is how I’ve been enjoying using it, but it also can be very rhythmic, controlled too - it has a full MIDI implementation and a lot of features around clock synchronization - but I am who I am and I am feeling a little ambient."
"Demonstrating a free printable PDF patch template for the ENIGMA synthesizer, allowing us to record, or plan, object placement. The same objects in the same placement should reproduce the same sound. Play the ENIGMA synthesizer by placing metallic objects on its surface. The ENIGMA is available now from SOMA LABORATORY.
ENIGMA is an innovative synthesizer fully controlled by the position and movement of metallic objects. Through a unique interface developed by SOMA, every metal object placed on the surface is transformed into sound. The shape, size, and type of object are entirely up to you. Coins, screws, fragments, gears, tools, and any other metallic artifacts will work. The interface sensitivity is extremely high — even a fractional millimeter shift of an object can alter the sound.
MIDI and CV clock sync are included , as well as MIDI note control."
"Experimental electronica created with the Prophet-10, Moog One, Nord Lead, MS-20, OP-1 field, and Ambient Engine.
This is the 1000th entry in the Daily Sound Experiment series.
On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed with reverb through the blueSky.
The MS-20 plays a bassline via MIDI sent from Ableton Live. During the intro, the filter resonance is adjusted in real time.
The Nord Lead and Moog One are performed by hand during the middle of the track.
The OP-1 field plays a rhythm pattern via MIDI from Ableton Live. Modulation is applied with the CWO effect, while the MOTHER effect adds gated reverb. The output is then processed through the MOOD MKII with additional pitch shifting and delay.
In Ambient Engine, sine wave samples are loaded and played as sustained tones while the MicroLoop effect is applied.
On this channel I explore many styles of music using field recordings, DIY instruments, and hardware.

"The Novation Peak does just sound so damn good. I went into a weekend sesh with the intention of building a new Midi map for it, but got stuck simply enjoying how great it sounds. The Peak is the sound source for everything you hear across these three pieces. I took snippets and looped in Cocoquantus then smeared using Cosmos. I also took a second FX send through Onward / Lossy / Gen Loss for some added texture. Oto Boum and CXM 1978 ever present."
"In this video, I’m using Synterra through its light sensor. By detecting changes in ambient light, it generates a generative melody in the Hijaz scale.
I’m sending the data generated by Synterra to the computer as MIDI over USB. Here, I’m using not only the MIDI notes, but also the MIDI CC data it generates at the same time.
The MIDI data is routed simultaneously to two different plug-ins: an FM-based synthesizer and a resonator. Some of the MIDI CC data coming from Synterra is assigned to the level parameters of the operators inside the FM synthesizer. This means Synterra is controlling not only which notes are played, but also the structure and movement of the sound itself in real time.
Also, I’m not using all of the CC data Synterra is sending in this video; the system is capable of generating even more control data at the same time.
When MIDI Clock is used, Synterra’s tempo-based effects can also be synchronized easily with the computer-based system.

Bu videoda Synterra’yı ışık sensörü üzerinden kullanıyorum. Ortamdaki ışık değişimlerini algılayarak Hicaz gamında generatif bir melodi oluşturuyor.

SID SYNTH is a real-time C64 software synthesizer built for playing live. It sits between two amazing programs, the instant playability of Cynthcart and the deep sound design of SID Wizard. That's the middle ground I've been missing. The ultimate tool for live performance on your favourite computer :)
For those who are interested what's under the hood:
Eight waveforms (4 main+combined ones) across three voices (six with a second SID), an adjustable ADSR with hard-restart retrigger, a multimode filter, and fully customisable PWM with its own rate, depth and sweep shapes. Add vibrato, portamento and tremolo, plus switchable ring mod and hard sync. Seven voice modes take you from full polyphony through fifths and octave stacks to arpeggios you can lock to tempo. Then you play it: live pitch bend, vibrato swells and filter swipes you can freeze and latch mid-note, for real expression and sound design beyond presets.
Build your own banks of instruments across 54 slots, save and load them to disk, and jump between sounds on the fly, so a whole set is under your fingers on stage, with a "Live Lock" to keep a stray key from changing anything mid-song.
Full MIDI in adds assignable CC to use with your DAW or any MIDI hardware, program change to switch patches hands-free, and clock sync to keep the arpeggiator in time with your drum machine or sequencer, plus a tap-tempo that sets the arpeggiator's speed straight from the rhythm you tap, so you can lock the arp to your track by ear in seconds.
Twelve reactive visualizers turn a held note into a show, and dual-SID stereo, blackout-clean recording for the real SID chip and automatic PAL/NTSC tuning finish the picture. 👾"

"Tape Fiasco 2 is now on iPad. Not a stripped-down companion app: the same engine that runs on macOS and Windows, rebuilt for touch, as a standalone app and an AUv3 plugin.
BUILT FOR IPAD
• Standalone app or AUv3 in AUM, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis, Loopy Pro, Drambo and other AUv3 hosts.
• Load your own audio as the sound source, or start from the built-in factory loop library.
• Record the output and share or save a WAV straight from the app.
• Ableton Link for tempo and phase sync across your network.
• MIDI Learn with mappings that persist across relaunches.
• Two-finger scrolling, resizable and rotatable layouts, touch targets tuned for fingers instead of a mouse.
• Background audio, so it keeps running when you switch apps.
"Most audio plugins process your sound. Tape Fiasco performs it. Four independent time engines run simultaneously: a dual-grain stretcher that slows, freezes and scrubs in real time; a tape machine with wow, flutter, stop and scratch; a rhythmic slicer that repeats at any subdivision; and BendIt, a circuit-bent buffer mangler with a seven-zone pitch macro from subtle wobble to full DJ scratch, quantized to the host grid. Chain them in any order.
Behind the time engines sits another 30 effects, from spectral filtering and modal resonators to distortion, bit destruction, circuit bending and beyond, followed by a master stage with a three-band EQ, compressor, soft limiter and auto gain.
Routing goes deep. Animate any parameter with multiple modulators: LFOs, random sources, envelope followers, and bezier graph editors. Sequencers stretch, bend and stutter. The Perform section puts four macros and an X/Y pad on the front panel, each routing to up to five destinations with three-point crossfade curves, all recordable as host automation. If it moves on screen, you can automate, sequence, or modulate it."
