G-Sonique Introduces REAL Analog Modular synths FX1 VST /AU Plug-in Instrument

video upload by G-Sonique

Press release follows:

G-Sonique Analog Modular FX – VST / AU plug-in instrument.

Analog modular synthesizers are relatively expensive, take up quite a lot of space and creating sounds is a very lengthy process (plus it is complex and not every producer can master it).

However, their sound is unique. Compared to digital synthesizers, their sound is much more organic, expressive and punchy in the mix, even though it is often mono (unless you use some stereo parts and effect modules), it sounds 3D. Simply put, their sound is not static and cold like digital synthesizers, but constantly evolving/alive/warm - thanks to the fact that electronic components behave non-linearly and under the influence of various factors (such as heat, current) their sound modulates itself every millisecond. With digital you will probably never create such lively, organic and constantly changing sounds - such sharp, cutting filters and resonances, textures, metallic analog sounds or twisted twisted effects. The sound of modular analog synthesizers will give your songs a completely different dimension, analog color, warmth and character of something real/organic. It’s the essential tool for professional sound design and adding that sought-after vintage character to your mix.

Modular synthesizers excel mainly in the field of FX, soundscapes and experimental sounds. Producers often use them for unique tension builders and complex cinematic sound effects.

So if you don't have the space and possibilities and especially the time to spend long hours programming a single sound, don't despair. We have prepared for you a multi-octave VST / AU plug-in instrument full of banks created using analog modular synthesizers. This is your shortcut to authentic analogue synthesis, instantly available as high-quality modular samples / multi-octave multi-layer banks.

The combination of digital and modular analog is very interesting and gives tracks a completely new dimension, sound and atmosphere. Get the best of both worlds: digital workflow convenience with true analogue character.

Analog Modular FX1 is perfect for many genres from different branches of psytrance such as: darkpsy / forest psytrance, also full-on psytrance, experimental zenon style progressive psytrance, night psytrance, modern goatrance, but also hitech / hightech, psycore. However, these FX sounds can also be used in other genres, for example modern techno, which is mixing more and more with other elements. Also suitable for rave music, bolder tech house, breakbeat. Also great for experimental genres, glitch, dark ambient. Modular sounds and FX are perfect for futuristic cinematic music / video game music, thriller and horror music. The sounds can also be pre-effected, making them suitable for other genres, such as dark drum and bass, neurofunk intros/stoptimes/outros, hardcore techno, gabber, industrial techno, EBM. Use them as powerful risers, drops, and complex transitions.

Includes: Analog monster modular voices, Modular laboratory experimental bubbling experiments, Alien analog FX, Spirals, Twisters, Risers, Multidimensional resonators, Distorted screamers, Alien pipes, Analog underground pipes and tubes, Organic sweeps, High pitched howling sounds, Funky twisters, Metal FX, Acid analog rave sound FXs, analog modular textures and pads, Electrostatic pulsations, Mysterious modular atmospheres, Alchemical bubbling sounds, UFO analog patches, Extraterrestrial atmospheres, Dark atmospheric sounds, Extraterrestrial analog modular samples, Metal sounds, Nonlinear modulated twisted sounds, Short spirals and spring reverb sounds, Electron and quark sounds, Electrostatic discharges, Alien animal howling sounds and much more.

Perfect for producers looking for cinematic sound design, modular synth VST, organic analog textures, experimental plugin instruments, soundscape creation tools, psytrance sound packs, modular synth FX, atmospheric VST plugins, glitch & IDM tools, techno sound design instruments, professional sound libraries for electronic music, best vst instruments for edm, modular vst plugins for mac and windows, vst synth for ambient and cinematic music, experimental analog vst download, modular synth vst free/paid alternative.


All sounds/banks are created in a wide range of octaves, ranging from C3-C4-C5-C6-C7. This ensures maximum flexibility for your sound design needs in any DAW (e.g., FL Studio, Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic Pro, Reaper, Studio One and others).

Random 42-Step Phrases and Dissolving Layers | Monolithic System 2026-01-13 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"It is a minimal music work in which a randomly played 42-step phrase repeats, layers of sound gradually accumulate, and finally dissolve toward the end.

On the OP-1 field, a 42-step phrase is entered into the ENDLESS sequencer and played back with random variation. During the performance, the timbral envelope and filter effects are adjusted in real time.

On the Novation Circuit, a simple synth phrase is looped while filter and sound parameters are manipulated. The output is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY, adding reverb and shaping the sound into a lo-fi texture. At certain moments, synth pads are also played live using the Circuit’s pads.

Toward the end of the track, the delay feedback on the OP-1 field is increased while deep reverb from the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky is applied, allowing the piece to fade out gradually."

You can find demos here.

"Inspired by the legendary Buchla Music Easel. Built by a guy who lives in a wooden cabin in the mountains! Here's his website () It's not really modular or patchable but there are some switches which are based on some of this guy's favourite patches on the Music Easel.

Features

2 Oscillators: First the Mod-Osc is a triangle-wave just a bit sinefolded. Second the Complex-Osc is a sine-wave with a powerful Wavefolder. Mod-Osc can modulate the

Complex-Osc and switch between FM & AM with depth for both. Both Oscillators can be Hard sync for FM synthesis. The Mod-Osc Pitch is bipolar & can go really low to act like an LFO. The Complex Pitch is unipolar. Both have Finetune for AM and not-synced FM harmonic research or perfectly tuning them together.

• 1 LFO Can be sine-wave or random sample&hold. Can act to the pitch of each oscillators & as the clock master for the sequencer.

•2 Lowpass gate One for the Mod Osc & second one for the Complex osc.

2 Lowpass filter One for the mod Osc & second one for the Complex osc.

• 1 Attack Applied to both Osc.

4 Step sequencer Can be set to each Osc & to the Wavefolder. Can run up or up&down. All step can be switched off.

• 2 Channel mixer One channel per oscillators.

• 1 Reverb With mix & time.

•1 Touch sensitive keyboard 13 keys with octave switch up & down which can act on each oscillators.

• 3 Touch plates With their own adjustable pitch.

• 1 Arpeggiator In order mode. Can be sustained, even on several switched octaves. Can be sync to the sequencer or have his own clock"

I have installed the Tauntek firmware, allowing realtime MIDI control, especially great with the included Stereoping Controller.

The Stereoping Controller has an overlay of the G8-P edition glued and the bit 01 overlay is only thrown above, which works top notch as is and makes it even easier to dust clean (I have some other editions overlays I may include for free if interested)."

"Incredible modified 909. This is the most unique 909 of the 3 I've owned. As you can see in the pic it has Tune Depth, Pitch and Drive for the Kick Drum as well as Hi Hat Tune. The range of what you can do with the Kick is almost unlimited, everything from super tight tuned variation to match the key of your track to absolutely depraved, distorted low end boom. The Hi Hat tune is just that, and between both of these mods they solve the main limitations of the 909."

#JAMUARY2026: OUTGROWTH + MUSIKRAKEN HAND-TRACKING

video upload by Perplex On

"Love what @aqeelaadamsound and @blankfor.ms crafted with their awesome #outgrowth app ❤️❤️❤️ Here i‘m using it as a granular instrument hosted in #musikraken to use camera-tracked hand gestures to move through various waveforms. Left-right movement is mapped to sample/playback start while hand openness is mapped to grain window size. Going out of frame and back in triggers a new waveform using Outgrowth‘s round-robin playback feature. So much fun and yet so much more to explore there…"

Outgrowth is a sample-based instrument built collaboratively by Aqeel Aadam Sound and BlankFor.ms. Designed with creativity, flexibility, and performance in mind, Outgrowth provides unique, multifaceted ways to reimagine audio with your mouse or keyboard.

Outgrowth features five unique engines for processing samples:

Stem: A basic one-shot style player that repitches the sample
Retain: A granular stretching engine that sustains the sample indefinitely
Reflect: A looping algorithm that loops the sample at a consistent rate across all pitches
Radiate: An additive resynthesizer that maps each harmonic of the sample to a sine wave oscillator
Delve: A wavetable synthesizer in which the sample becomes the basis for a completely unique wavetable

Outgrowth also features five standout audio effects for shaping your sounds further:

Subvert: A unique shaper that flattens or inverts the sample’s volume
Submerge: A singular effect for adding dimensional realism to sample repitching
Strike: A dynamic control for adding an acoustic-like response to sample playback and performance
Ripple: A one-knob tape emulation handcrafted by BlankFor.ms that can be subtle, deconstructive, and anywhere in between
Smear: A pre-ADSR reverb for congealing notes and blurring boundaries between pitch and texture

And further still, Outgrowth offers a robust modulation matrix for generative or performative control over all parameters. Control every single parameter within Outgrowth via LFOs, unique random sources, velocity, note pitch, aftertouch, MPE control, and more.

Finally, Outgrowth offers a robust preset system, including more than 50 bespoke presets and over 100 samples by BlankFor.ms. Explore ethereal ambient pads, haunted lofi keys, shimmering tape-infused plucks, gnarled percussive textures, and more."

The Crow Hill Company Introduces VAULTS - TUNED GONGS

video upload by CROW HILL

"There is a cave, near Rome, Italy, and in that cave they make gongs. In this video Christian unveils the latest free offering as part of our vault range. An extraordinary quartet of tuned gongs, designed and used by meditation gurus as part of gong bath setups we decided, in this "first pancake" to leather them. Much to their sonic distress."

Press release follows:


The Crow Hill Company brings beautiful set of tuned gongs to free VAULTS… VI collection as …TUNED GONGS, a downloadable drop with a difference

EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to bring a beautiful set of tuned gongs to its free VAULTS… VI (Virtual Instrument) collection as …TUNED GONGS — germinated as a downloadable drop with a difference, effectively enabling anyone to play an extraordinary quartet of harmonised gongs designed and used by meditation gurus as part of gong bath setups in a way that was never intended by their Italian creator after being bought and sampled by composer Christian Henson, original founder of the Edinburgh-based enterprise, abiding, as always, by its Make Music, Your Music motto — as of January 8…

It is sometimes said — quite often, truth be told — that All roads lead to Rome. And although that popular proverb does not apply to The Crow Hill Company’s VAULTS - TUNED GONGS in the true sense of those words’ intended meaning, Italy’s capital city could be said to have played a passing part in the VI in question’s road to reality. Composer Christian Henson picks up the tentative thread, teasing, “There is a cave, just outside Rome, and in that cave they make gongs; we’re not sponsored by them — they don’t even know we’re making this thing. They do more than you’d expect out of a big cymbal.”

Changing tact, Christian Henson clarifies: “Ask any member of The Crow Hill team about my attention span and they will say that whilst, like most of us musos, I have the capacity for hyper-focus, I’m also easily distracted — especially when it comes to something new. We’re meant to be working on a fascinating new addition to the Origins… series, but, unfortunately, I’m easy prey for an Instagram post featuring an instrument I hadn’t heard before. Correction: I’d heard gongs before; I’ve even had the chance to play one, but none that sounded like these ones. Or rather this one. The big one. So I bought a whole tree of them! That’s what’s so fulfilling about this Crow Hill project; we get to make investments on behalf of the composing fraternity, so we all get a go.”

Get this, though. “This VAULTS… features four incredible-sounding tuned gongs that were designed, I suspect, for gong bath therapy,” theorises The Crow Hill Company’s original founder, following up with some characteristically vibrant verbiage: “Beautiful, bold fundamentals; mystical, engaging harmonics; and also a bottom end that shakes the room. I very much get the feeling that these gongs are not designed to be whacked. They really do complain when they’re abused in this way. The big one… well, she growls like a distant dragon, while the smallest protests in the shape of a scoop up an entire perfect fifth before it reluctantly settles into its fundamental. We’ve basically overlapped them and layered them to give you a quite rudimentary piano-style, chromatic instrument.”

It is fair to say, then, that the sometimes badly behaving VAULTS - TUNED GONGS sounds somewhat different to any of its software siblings. Saying that, though, its intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface) is comfortingly familiar to anyone who has laid eyes on any VAULTS… release, identical in (almost) all aspects — bar its distinguishing background colour change — to all of The Crow Hill Company’s current collection. “Front end-wise, we’ve got EXPRESSION on CC11,” continues Christian Henson. “On the gongs that are higher in pitch you do get a kind of rumble, so I would recommend being very cautious about the SUB BASS control — particularly when you close the LPF [Low Pass Filter], when there’s a super-wide low end, which is so difficult to achieve; getting that kind of fatness, but also having that stereo width is pretty incredible. If you’re confident with your bass response in your studio or on your headphones, then go for it, but this thing really does shake the room. Then we’ve got some DELAY. You can make it even wider with the REVERB, and, because we’re naughty, there’s a little bit of CRYSTALLIZER in there, which is just incredible. As always with the VAULTS… macros, they’re designed so that you can’t make it sound terrible — everything has a subtle musical quality to it.”

Concludes Christian Henson: “We’re doing something incredibly exciting; a new way of sampling, but also treating these gongs with utmost respect, appreciating their soft, infinitely nuanced harmonics that change on every hit. The distraction has become a serious one, taking weeks as they’re not easy to record. When something is shaking the room and all the air inside it, what do you mic? So we needed a test recording. What better way of ushering in 2026 than with a shuddering tree of room-shaking gongs? There are some lower dynamics in there, which will give you a sense of where we’re headed with this project — a useful tuned metallophone that’s difficult to place, but, really, the purpose of this VAULTS… is to gong these! For that odd time you need a gong for a cue, these are pure class. I also found turning my speakers up and playing at full velocity to be an excellent way of getting my teenagers down for breakfast; they don’t like them at all.”
