Oberheim Xpander first encounter

video upload by MIDERA

"It is not my best work... but I wanted to put something up. Today, I traded some gear and ended up with an Xpander. It's pretty crazy what it can do. However, I'm not particularly enjoying editing from a distance, since the 'desktop' nature of the Xpander is such that it can't actually sit on any of my synths. It's literally bigger than my OB-6.

But it's got a very unique sound. Hopefully after I take some time I can really dig into the parameters of the instrument (and find a better way to edit it while playing).

Ocean Swift releases Oscillarys - a flagship atmospheric synthesis engine for Kontakt Player

Ocean Swift announces the release of Oscillarys, a new flagship NKS instrument developed in collaboration with Native Instruments. Crafted for cinematic scoring and deep ambience, Oscillarys is a three-layered synthesis engine designed to bridge the gap between raw texture and ethereal musicality

It offers a sonic body that is darker, smoother, and undeniably alive with motion, bridging the gap between raw texture and ethereal musicality."

Press release follows:

Resonant Worlds is a preset and sample expansion for Native Instruments Absynth 6, developed by Ocean Swift. The developer quotes:

“Resonant Worlds is more than an expansion; it is an evocative descent into the soul of Absynth. Drawing inspiration from the stark, spiritual isolation of Inuit landscapes, the vivid, fever-dream textures of Van Gogh’s impressionism, and the legendary Ocean Swift synthesis lineage, this collection captures a sound that is both ancient and otherworldly.”

Resonant Worlds for Absynth 6 is available now for €19.99, with an introductory 50% discount running until February 10, 2026.

https://oceanswift.net/product/absynth-resonant-worlds/ Creative direction

Arctic and Inuit-inspired atmosphere: cold, expansive textures with a focus on space, distance, and sparse detail

Impressionist influence: swirling motion, vivid harmonic coloration, and “Green Fairy” tonal motifs

Ocean Swift methodology: precision in tuning, looping, and consistency, paired with experimental timbral design

Contents

202 Absynth 6 presets: 138 synth patches and 64 FX-focused presets

185 bespoke samples: curated for Absynth’s resonator and granular workflows, also usable in other samplers and instruments

NKS support: macros, deep tagging, and audio previews

Production standards: developed with the same general rigor and aesthetic consistency associated with Ocean Swift’s prior Absynth-related content contributions

Pits Playground & Perfect Pads 2 - Soundsets for Waldorf Iridium & Quantum synthesizer.

video upload by WaldorfMusicChannel

"https://waldorfmusic.com/produkt/soun...

With loving attention to detail, Pit created 69 patches that showcase the extensive synthesis capabilities of the Iridium/Quantum family. The sound set combines analogue warmth with digital precision. Special emphasis was placed on the interaction between playing and sound generation: thanks to extensive modulation routings, an organic flow is created that makes playing inspiring and lively. Ideal for losing yourself completely in the sound.

The sound palette includes Moog-style leads and basses, assertive brass and poly synths, PPG and Prophet VS-style wavetable sounds, as well as digital pads and atmospheric textures. Pre-made sequences, arpeggios and overloaded effects have been deliberately omitted. Instead, you get dynamically playable instruments that enrich your musical expression.

A real playground for lovers of ‘real’ synthesizer sounds.

Pit is a real synthesizer freak. He discovered his love for synthesizers and electronic music back in the early 80s. His collection includes legendary synthesizers such as the EMC Rehberg VCS3, Oberheim OB8, Minimoog and Memorymoog, to name but a few. And of course an Iridium Keyboard."

Perfect Pads 2 - Soundset for Waldorf Iridium & Quantum synthesizer.

video upload by WaldorfMusicChannel

"https://waldorfmusic.com/produkt/soun...

The second edition of the Perfect Pads collection, this time with 34 brand new meticulously crafted pad patches for the wonderful Iridium & Quantum synthesizer.

This pack makes use of the various native sound engines of the Iridium/Quantum, which are blended with high-quality recordings of some of the fantastic analog pad synths like the OB-X8 and ISE-NIN.

The result is another highly usable pack of presets with some of the widest and warmest pads available on the Iridium & Quantum, immediately usable for many different music genres or a great starting point for further tweaking."

Absynth 6 by Native Instruments - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hi, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the stunning Absynth 6 by Native Instruments.

Absynth 6 marks the return of a legendary semi-modular synthesizer. Built for textures that transform and breathe, it invites you to shape sounds that are entirely your own. Deep enough for complex sound design, and intuitive enough for newcomers, it opens up distinctive, living sounds for cinematic cues, ambient soundscapes, and electronic productions.

Absynth has a long, storied history of surreal sound. The strange textures and dreamlike tones return with Absynth 6, the latest in this prestigious line of semi-modular synths.

This version keeps the heart of the hybrid engine you know. It combines subtractive, FM, wavetable, and granular synthesis into one flow that makes unusual sounds feel natural to create. A refreshed interface, a new waveform editor, and an intuitive visual browser make it easier than ever to craft otherworldly soundscapes.

The launch of Absynth 6 is the story of rebirth. It honors the strange beauty that defined the original, while bringing it into a new era with a new suite of tools and accessibility features.

Truly a sound-designer's dream, opening up endless creative possibilities!"
