Swells Explorations | Blur, Deadspace, Gaze

video upload by Intellijel

"Blur is the expanded version of Multigrain's built-in reverb, adding additional control for more versatile applications. Blur can be, big, clean and add huge space to your patches. But it can also be small, warped and unstable too!

video upload by Intellijel

"Described in the manual as a 'Non-Newtonian smearing for the astrally inclined, rending the fabric of space and time'. Essentially, it's perfect for huge, ambient, spaced-out reverbs that blend perfectly with your patches.

"This is an exploration of Swells model Z-3: Gaze

Gaze is inspired by classic non-linear reverb algorithms, with a modern slant. This model loves modulation, and can create some wild effects beyond your typical reverb.

Dreadbox Artemis Review — Raw Tones, V1.2 Update & Nymphes Comparison

video upload by Starsky Carr

"A full demo of the the Dreadbox Artemis V1.2 firmware plus a comparison with the Dreadbox Nymphes I demo demo every new Firmware V1.2 feature (mod matrix, MPE/CC74, BBD Resonator, BBD Playground, updated reverbs), and answer the big question: is it worth the upgrade?

You'll hear a 7-minute uninterrupted sound journey — from a bare 2-oscillator patch, through filter sweeps, stereo spread and lush Sinevibes effects, then all the way back down to the raw tone. I've hidden some classic samples in there too... can you spot them all? Drop your guesses in the comments 👇

Plus: PWM and sawtooth A/B tests against the Nymphes, the new no-oscillator mode (play the filter as a sine wave!), the drive circuit, every distortion algorithm, and a filthy acid bassline in mono mode to prove it's not just a well-behaved polysynth.

▶ WHAT IS THE ARTEMIS?
Dreadbox's flagship 6-voice analog polysynth: 2 VCOs per voice plus sub, hard sync, thru-zero FM, filter FM, resonant 12/24dB low-pass + high-pass filters, 2 ADSRs, 2 LFOs per voice, stereo voice spread, polyphonic sequencer, and 4 stunning Sinevibes effects (distortion, modulation, delay, reverb) — all modulatable within the patch."

This appears to be the first post to feature the Solton MS3.

"Solton MS3 arranger/sound module + Alesis Midifex Delay (short demonstration). All sounds from the MS3 and all FX from the Midifex :p

The MS3 has 100 instrument sounds + 1 drumkit. And the Alesis has 64 delays and some reverb programs if i remember correctly :p #synths"

This appears to be the first post to feature the Kurzweil 900 MX MicroExpander.

"Demo of some of the 64+31 sounds in this of this module. There is also a larger version of the Kurzweil MX 900 called EG-20.

Think it could be related to the Kurzweil 1000 series? Sounds similar but not sure :p

There is also a built in reverb in the unit, some of the patches i turned it on and some off #kurzweil"

Kärntnerland Alpsound (Midi Expander Sound Module)

video upload by General Midi Guy ⚡

This appears to be the first one to be featured on the site.

"The Kärntnerland Alpsound (engineered by Limex) is a professional, compact MIDI sound expander built specifically for accordion and Steirische Harmonika players. This half-rack hardware module transforms MIDI data into authentic Oberkrainer and alpine folk music backing arrangements in real time.

Key Technical Specifications:

Form Factor: Portable 9.5-inch half-rack unit (1U height). Weighs ~1 kg.

Sound Board: 256 MB "Doppelpack" flash memory (combining Alpin Master and Tradition Exclusive libraries).

Polyphony: 116-voice polyphony to prevent note-clipping during complex live arrangements.

Audio Quality: 48 kHz high-fidelity sampling rate with integrated 24-bit reverb and chorus effects.

Connectivity: 5-pin MIDI Input, 12V DC power, and dual 1/4" (6.35mm) Left/Right stereo audio outputs.

Core Performance Features:

Dynamic Bellows Control: Seamlessly processes continuous MIDI CC data. The module alters the volume and tonal expression of instruments (like tuba and baritone horn) dynamically based on accordion bellows pressure.

Authentic Folk Instruments: Loaded with optimized samples of Styrian accordions, baritone brass, acoustic rhythm guitars, clarinets, and trumpets.

Plug-and-Play Live Setup: Connects directly between any accordion MIDI system (such as Limex MPR3/MPR4) and a live PA system or amplifier."

Jen Synx 508, 5-voice Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

You can find demos of the Jen Synx 508 in additional posts here.

"Jen Synx 508, a extremely rare analog synthesizer, aimed at a collector who can get it working properly. Aesthetically, it's almost perfect, but it has some functional issues that need fixing:

- The sequencer seems to work, but we don't know exactly how to program it.
- Some buttons (hold, memory...) take a while to respond keeping it pressed. As it seems its not a problem of the switches, may be a factory bug.
- Envelope calibration can be improved in some voices.
- Resonance seems unstable, probably is a calibration issue as we're not sure if the filter is supposed to self-oscillate in this synth, but we calibrated it as if it were supposed to.
- The Phaser/Ensemble/Chorus effects are a little noisy, but we think it may be another factory bug as the BBDs are ok.

We haven't found a user manual, but we do have schematics drawn by an Italian technician. It's believed that the Synx 508 never reached full production, mainly due to the sequencer problems that couldn't be resolved with firmware updates. Apparently, the processor used was quite slow, which caused most of the mentioned issues.

8 banks and 8 sound presets per bank. Each voice card comes with a CEM3310 ADSR Envelope, a CEM3320 24dB/Oct 4-pole Multipass filter, and a CEM3360 Dual VCA. There are 5 voice cards, expandable to 8 if you can find spares.

New battery, almost completely recapped, new potentiometers installed, etc."

Kawai Q-80EX | One of the best 80s sequencers that nobody talks about

"The Kawai Q-80EX midi sequencer from 1989.
An absolute beast of a sequencer yet nobody seems to know it exist or what it can do.
How does it compare to two cherished competitors of the time?

RHODES MKII, Prophet-10 & ARP ODYSSEY Minimal Ambient | Tropical Summer 2026-07-08 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Minimal ambient music created with the RHODES MKII, Prophet-10, and ARP ODYSSEY.

On the RHODES MKII, a Nano Clone is connected to the ACCESSORY jack for chorus. The output of the RHODES amp is then connected to the TIMELINE for delay.

The Prophet-10 performs a synth pad. Its output is treated with reverb on the MOOD MKII and further processed with a blueSky reverb.

The ODYSSEY outputs two signals for recording, one from the BASS DRIVER DI and the other treated with delay and reverb on the LOST+FOUND.

SynTesla CRV540 Cloud Reverb Module - sound test

Catalyst MiG VCO and VCF

video upload by John Schussler

"These things are...just awesome.

There aren't a lot of new an interesting VCO designs out there, so when I saw this one pop up and heard it was going to be a limited run (due to the limited availability of NOS mini-tubes) I immediately grabbed one.

The name comes from the MiG fighters that these tubes were originally designed for. I'm going to assume that means they'll last a while.

You almost don't need the filter. The VCO has so much control and character that the filter seems like gilding the lily. But then you add it to the VCO and BOOM! your head explodes with all the great sound.

Skip to 14:35 if you just want the punchline.

Envelope from Zadar, and a touch of reverb, that's it.

This is an insanely good mega-delay with all kinds of algorithms on board, including reverb and a really vibey granular / spectral mode as well. It has full MIDI, a looper with up to 5min recording time, and really flexible send and return options to top things off. Hang out while I play through all 100 presets and explore the sounds and atmospheres this beautiful machine creates!"
