Introducing Mimetic Digitwolis: four-channel performance sequencer from Noise Engineering


video upload by Noise Engineering

"Mimetic Digitwolis (MD2) preorders are open now: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

MD2 starts shipping on September 18, 2025.

0:00 Intro
0:19 Four Lanes
0:59 Shred
1:22 MIDI
1:46 Start a Patch"

Press release follows:


Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their fun and unique takes on Eurorack modular synthesizers, has released the highly requested Mimetic Digitwolis, a configurable performance sequencer, MIDI-controlled quantizer, and successor to the beloved Mimetic Digitalis.

The original Mimetic Digitalis has become a cult classic, thanks to its quick workflow and performative features. Noise Engineering has worked extensively to revamp and upgrade everything about the new version, while retaining the magic of the original. Fans of the first edition will enjoy familiar features like Shred randomization, extended cartesian sequencing abilities, and familiar editing workflows, all within the same 10 HP package.

Even with those similarities, Mimetic Digitwolis was redesigned from the ground up to be a great performance tool and sequencing utility. The new hardware features five trigger inputs and four CV inputs which can all be freely assigned to dozens of mappings within the module for complete flexibility. All editing and configuration can be done on the new color screen, making it easy to fit the module into your patch and view sequences at a glance. New to version two is the addition of MIDI in and out jacks, allowing a whole new level of connectivity with other studio gear – Digitwolis can be synchronized and controlled with other MIDI devices, and generates MIDI notes and CC modulation.

Mimetic Digitwolis also features a host of highly requested new features. The outputs can sequence four different types of signals – modulation CV, pitch CV, triggers, or gates – or can act as a quantizer on external CV signals. The quantizer can also be used internally on pitch CV lanes, and the scale can be edited within the module or with an external MIDI keyboard. Additionally, clock dividers can be applied to the four channels to change their advance rate, and each channel can have a different sequence length from one to 16 steps.

Despite its compact size and unintimidating interface, it’s clear that Mimetic Digitwolis is a flexible sequencing utility for any system, big or small. "Normally, we put a quote about the product in our press releases," says Kris, the Doer of Many Things at Noise Engineering. "But Mimetic Digitwolis does so much that it speaks for itself."

Mimetic Digitwolis is now open for preorders and starts shipping September 18th, 2025. Available at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

"Super cool and funky hardware MIDI sequencer, designed to inspire with a unique user interface that invites experimentation.

Used by artists such as Richie Hawtin/Plastikman, The Orb, Goldie, Howie B, Peter Gabriel, and others.

This is the Mark 2 version, which I bought new from Latronic in 1999. Somehow I wound up with 2 copies of the manual, so you'll have a spare!

Includes original carrying case, 2 manuals, power supply with US power cord (but it is an international power supply, 100V-240V), and the Mark 2 Notron in super-minty condition. Only lightly used in my home studio.

Just powered it up and it works great."

"FRESHLY SERVICED! keybed cleaned, all pots cleaned, new battery, Tauntek MIDI added.

This is hands down my favorite mono synth of all time, such a unique instrument! Designed by Chris Hughes who also designed the WASP and several products for Novation among other things, IMO OSCar was his greatest product. I am only selling as I have two otherwise I'd never let it go! Hands down the best analog dual multi-mode filter in existence! There's additive synthesis in the way of building waveforms by adding harmonics, there's presets, there's an amazing sequencer and arppegiater, there's duophonic functionality. You can get all kinds of crazy vowel/vocal sounds."

CV/gate for EMS Synthi or VCS3 = instant MIDI fun


video upload by analogia pl

"This is one of many videos I've been uploading on IG that feature Papa's CV/gate card - an absolutely indispensable tool for any EMS owner. Add a MIDI-CV converter and you're now in MIDI heaven.

What's happening in this video: CVs and gate are supplied from 2oh2 - Tubbutec modded Roland MC-202. I'm sending CV on channel 1 of 2oh2 to oscillator 1 of the Synthi and another CV channel of the 2oh2 to oscillator 2. Gate comes from channel 1 of the 2oh2.

Behringer UB-Xa: 64 Arp Presets Vintage & Modern. Sound Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"🌌 Analog Flow is a collection of 64 arp presets for the Behringer UB-Xa analog synthesizer. The bank covers a wide range of arpeggio timbres: warm, deep, dreamy, soft, noisy, bright, dark, distorted, cold, metallic. You can also disable the arpeggio mode and get a collection of diverse plucks.
Since the UB-Xa is a recreation of a vintage classic, this collection embraces its retro character—highlighting detuning, subtle noise, and analog warmth to evoke the sonic aesthetics of the 70s and 80s.
The patches are infused with nostalgic charm and are perfect for adding that vintage soul to your tracks.

πŸ“¦ Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/ub-x...

πŸ“Ό One of the unique features of the UB-Xa is its Atrophy profiles—emulations of various stages of vintage wear and drift. All presets and audio demos were created using the default Profile 1, but you're encouraged to explore them with other profiles to discover variations in brightness, tuning, and stereo width. This adds another layer of expression and depth to the sounds.

πŸŽ› Each preset is performance-ready, with velocity sensitivity and ModWheel assignments mapped for expressive control. The ModWheel introduces additional modulations — such as brightness or movement — offering creative flexibility for both studio production and live performance.

🧿 The soundset is universal, the arpeggios are suitable for all genres of electronic music, including Techno, House, Trance, Lounge, Downtempo, Synthwave, Retrowave, Pop, Indie, IDM, Drum'n'Bass, Breakbeat, Electro, Ambient, Synth-Pop and others.

OXI Instruments Introduces Split 2 and Split 2hp


video upload by OXI Instruments

"Today we’re looking at the brand new OXI Split 2 and Split 2hp — two tiny but powerful tools that make it easier than ever to connect your OXI One to all your instruments.

We’ll walk you through what’s new, how they work, and why they might be the missing piece in your setup."



"The OXI Split 2, MIDI breakout box, is an efficient and inexpensive solution for users whose setup relies on MIDI connections. It is the easiest way to connect several MIDI devices, such as synths or drum machines, to the OXI One.

The Split provides:

2x MIDI DIN Out
4x MIDI TRS Outs
Select Between MIDI Out or MIDI Thru
It increases data transfer capacity and the number of MIDI channels up to 96.

To use it, simply connect the Split to the OXI One with the TRS cable included.
OXI Split 2 works for OXI One and OXI One MKII. But it doesn’t work when connected to other MIDI devices."

Dialing a Phone is Playing a Song


video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"'Dialing a phone is playing a song,' says guest host Pete! In this video, we discuss the informational-sonics of the Touch Tone age, as well as strategies for synthesizing these nostalgic sounds with gear you likely have at home!

Timestamps for the various topics covered can be found below:

Intro: 0:00
Tone Dialing Frequencies: 1:05
Tuning Strategy: 2:51
Dial Tone: 3:27
Ringback Tone: 4:09
Busy Tone: 4:46
Handset Speaker: 6:08
Dial-Up Modem: 8:56
Outro: 11:10

Tuning is a big part of the patches covered here, and the frequencies referenced throughtout can all be found in this document: https://condor.depaul.edu/sjost/361/m...

Additionally, as indicated in the overview of the final patch, recommended settings can be found below:

"The Dial-Up Modem"

To begin, press PGM-A and PGM-B together to enter the 0-Coast's Arpeggiator mode.

Next, engage Cycle on Slope and set Rise and Fall fully CCW, with Shape set to Expo. Patch the EOC out to the Tempo input of the 0-Coast's Clock section.

Panel settings
Balance: fully CCW
Contour: Onset is CCW, Sustain is CW, Decay is 9:00 or so. Shape is your choice but Log is a good place to start.
Oscillator pitch is around 10:00
Overtone and Multiply do not matter in this patch— with Balance set fully CCW we will not be hearing their effects.
Dynamics: 3:00

Finally, patch a MIDI controller to the 0-Coast's MIDI input and play some chords— the arpeggiator will cycle through them at audio rate, producing timbres similar to those of the classic Dial-Up Modem sound.

What are some of your favorite sounds from the Touch Tone age? Do you ever use them in your music? Share memories and links in the comments below!

The Beauty of Two Vermona Perfourmers - Deluge in Action #13


video upload by Krzysztof Steplowski

"🎹 Listen to the 8-voice Vermona Perfourmer! This time a simple improvisation, not a proper track.

🎹 Check my patches for synths: https://synth-patches.com/

πŸ‘‰ In this video I present an improvisation using two Vermona Performers chained together. Instead of two four-voice synths, I've got a single, eight-voice, polyphonic analogue beast.

πŸ‘‰ Both synthesizers are connected via a ‪@Bome‬ Box – this small device can distribute MIDI messages sent via a single channel to any number of MIDI channels. In this case, the Bome Box distributes each received note to eight additional MIDI channels, which I send to both synthesizers via a Midi Splitter (Banana Split in this case).

πŸ‘‰ All I need is a very simple motif based on a single pattern in Deluge. By playing with individual oscillators, I can introduce additional variations to that motif. Then, all that's left is to play with the effect—in this case, ‪@audiothingies‬ Doctor A."

"3 oscillator semi-modular synth, complex modulation capabilities, MIDI & CV control.

Probably no other monophonic analog synth has this amount of sound-bending capabilities at your fingertips on an ultra-compact footprint. Directly prepatched and switchable are:

VCO2 synchable to VCO1
VCO3 can modulate either VCO2 (only) or VCO1 + 2
VCO3 can modulate the filter
VCO3 can be taken out of the audio path completely, becoming an 'invisible' source for modulation only
the filter envelope (VCF) can modulare VCO2 ('sweep VCO')
VCF has two modes of keytracking
both LFOs can control VCOs AND filter cutoff at the same time and with independent settings
LFO1 can do S&H by sampling LFO2 (making them interdependent) or the noise generator
oh, there actually is an "OSC4" which is white noise (with its own level control), in addition to the white noise setting on VCO3 and the white noise setting on LFO2. That's 3 noise generators in just one synth.
glide function
VCA switchable positive / negative
envelope trigger switch
...
In addition, there are the patch points which add PWM modulation, external audio insert points, individual VCO outs, V-gate in on LFO1 +++

Condition:
Fully functional. Great overall cosmetic condition. Very few signs of use. A very few light marks – see photos."
