Electronica w/ Twisted Rhythms and Reversed Loops | Every single moment 2026-09-26 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece built from twisting rhythm patterns and tightly repeating loops.

This piece was created with the volca fm2, TR-08, and OP-1 field.

On the volca fm2, two patterns are switched during playback while the NIGHTSKY adds filtering and reverb.

On the OP-1 field, a short-decay sequence is looped using the ENDLESS sequencer. A loop recorded with the MICROCOSM PHRASE LOOPER is layered over it while being played back in reverse.

On the TR-08, a rhythm pattern is played while the MOOD MKII applies pitch shifting.

Detune - Synthesis Sound Design App for the iPhone

Press release follows:

"Aito Ventures is launching an new app. Detune is an iPhone app that teaches sound design and music theory through short interactive lessons. It runs its own wavetable synth engine, and every lesson, challenge and free-play session is played on that engine rather than on video.

The Sound Synthesis path is 29 modules across seven acts, covering waveforms, the volume envelope, the filter, two-oscillator patches, filter envelopes, the LFO, resonance, effects, mono and glide, the sub oscillator, noise, the modulation matrix, and FM, ring modulation and hard sync. Each act ends with a checkpoint patch the user builds from scratch and keeps.

The Music Theory path is ten modules (scales, triads, chord changes, minor colour, fifths and octaves, chord progressions, melody, keys, and rhythm) taught by ear, with no notation required.

Challenges are ear-based: pick the brighter of two sounds, match a target patch, place the notes. A daily patch gives one sound-design problem per day.

Synth engine: two wavetable oscillators plus a sub oscillator and noise source; low-pass, band-pass and high-pass filter with resonance; two envelopes; LFO; modulation matrix; delay, reverb, distortion, chorus and phaser.

Pricing: free to download. Pro unlocks every module in both paths and unlimited lessons: $59.99 per year with a 7-day free trial, or $12.99 per month."

These Plugins Sound AMAZING… Except One

video upload by Keith Crosley

"Space Age Strings, Traveler 1.1, Arturia MiniFreak V, and Liminal Space 2 RC6: three plugins I'm excited about, and one that's... fine. Your old pal Keith demos vintage strings, custom wavetable import, Bloom and reverse reverb, and gloriously backward shoegaze. Grab your mod wheel for another episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!

First up: Authentic Soundware's Space Age Strings, with gorgeous legatos, vintage ribbon-mic character, and serious Mancini energy. We pair those nine violins with Liminal Space 2's new Space Age Scoring Stage preset and compare the library's built-in reverb with some algorithmic spaciousness.

Then we revisit Traveler! Version 1.1 fixes the big wavetable-workflow frustrations from my previous review: now I can point it at my existing KRC Mathwaves folders without duplicating gigabytes of content. Cue polygonal bells, Morlet wavelet vowels, and a much happier Keith. We also try MiniFreak V's new user-wavetable import. It's great to have it, but I've got opinions about the workflow, the effects, and whether the software version floats my boat.

Finally, we explore my Liminal Space 2 RC6 reverb for macOS and Windows: MIDIverb II-inspired Bloom sounds, reverse-style swells, ACTUAL reversed audio, and instant imaginary Cocteau Twins guitar with Native Instruments' Electric Sunburst Deluxe. We build Bloom effects on piano, shape them with curves and wavetables, and explore Reverse Capture's Diffuse and Clear modes. Then we get dark and wobbly with Clockwarp and the new Vulture 224 filter, inspired by Alex at Vulture Culture. Woot!

Disclosure: Authentic Soundware kindly supplied Space Age Strings; this is not paid placement. I purchased Traveler myself. Liminal Space 2 and KRC Mathwaves are my own products. Liminal Space 2 is demonstrated in RC6; the RC7 Follow feature is teased for a future video."

Introducing Loop, an Idea Machine by Polyend

video upload by Polyend

"This is Loop, an 8-track Performance Looper."



Some pics and details via Perfect Circuit

"The Polyend Loop is a complete loop-based audio workstation that brings you 4 independent loopers alongside 4 tracks of sample-based percussion with built-in effects. Each of the 4 loopers offers up to 52 seconds of recording time in mono or stereo with the option for forward, reverse, or ping-pong playback. Add discrete effects to each channel with myriad reverb and delay options, along with classic modulation effects, like chorus, vibrato, phaser, and tape effects; shaper effects give you overdrives, distortions, and other waveshapers, use the panning option for spatialization, and the filter can give you a nice bit of sonic sculpting. Indeed, this is the perfect device to not just sketch ideas, but create an entire album's worth of sonic world-building.

Oddment ODD-1 Granular Sampler -5 Minutes With Demo

video upload by sonicstate

"​‪@matthsmatthsmatths‬ spends some quality time with the ‪@oddment-audio‬ Oddment ODD-1 granular sampler. With 4 granular playheads, 2 layers and 8 voices with Filtering and saturation plus Reverb and Delay FX, you can build some deep textures and landscapes.

ODD-1 has three modes of operation:
Synth mode for combining multiple samples
Loops Mode - four independent loop buffers
Live mode - transform a live audio input

And yeah, we know this is somewhat over the 5 minutes length, but with such a lot of evolving sound, its hard to keep it short!

ODD-1 is also available as a plug-in ODD-1V has he same features but in software only."

WGD Modualr Has Been Busy… 3 New Eurorack Projects!

video upload by wgd modular

"In this video, I’m giving you a quick update on what I’ve been working on over the summer and showing three new projects that have recently made their way into my Eurorack setup.

🎛️ First up is kefir, a simple 24HP four-channel stereo mixer with input normalization. I needed another stereo mixer for my 1U row, so I took one of my already proven mixer designs and turned it into a dedicated 1U utility module.

🍉 I also made a 1U version of melon. Since a 4HP Eurorack module fits perfectly into a 1U row when rotated by 90 degrees, I designed a new 22HP panel for the existing melon PCB. The module now fits nicely into my 1U row, and there are already more new firmwares in development including a port of the Mutable Instruments Elements engine.

🌱 Lastly, I completely redesigned my Daisy-based stereo multi-effects module. The new version is called carciofo and is built around the new Electrosmith Seed 3. It is only 6HP wide and adds two buttons and a WS2812B RGB LED for a much more flexible interface.

For this video I’m also taking the new Quattro firmware for a spin, which puts drive, chorus, delay and reverb behind the four knobs."

Late Night Ambient | Eurorack Performance #39 (MOMENTS)

video upload by David Falcon

"Sometimes music has this magic healing power. While making this one I was reflecting a lot on the small beautiful moments of life we often overlook while we are busy with other stuff. I felt more grounded and inspired me to be more present, more aware. Right here, right now.

Patch notes:
I have tweaked a little bit my Palette case again. Zadar was not right for this build so I swapped it for Pamela's New Workout from my bigger case. As the FX was being used as a filter I then decided to bring back the Shakmat Dual Dagger to this case. I love this build so far.

This is my first time with Ornaments and Crime module. It always looked a bit intimidating with all the various modes, but for now I focused only in one (Acid Curds) which is the perfect pair for Saich. It sends 4 note chords to the 4 V/oct inputs of Saich creating these beautiful chords. To add more interest I have Saich in arp mode, modulated with an LFO from PAMS at a different subdivision than the chord sequence. This way pseudo-generative melodies are created. I was improvising changing the subdivision of the arp within Pams.

Then there are Mimeophon and Arbhar providing ambience to the track. Mimeophon is the delay and reverb for the Saich part and in the outro I looped a bit and improvised within the module. It is very performative, it is my favorite part of this module.
In Arbhar is just a simple sample of my kids playing with some instruments and there is a triangle hit in the middle that sometimes pops out in the mix. This element, despite being subtle, is what brings the emotional depth to this piece in my opinion."

Plexiphon Is Now Shipping! | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"On Saturday, October 3rd, at 3 pm, Tom Erbe will be at Perfect Circuit in Burbank, California, talking about all things Plexiphon and soundhack. The event is free!

The Make Noise Soundhack Plexiphon is a stereo, modeless spatial texturizer which allows for continuously morphing between reverberations and multi-tap echoes, the widest range of possible results being neither reverb nor echo, and all results highlighting and amplifying character previously hidden in the source material being processed.

The Plexus control simultaneously modulates the number of feedback paths in the algorithm, and their entanglement together. The Size of the paths determines the temporal relation between them, operating like a 'delay time,' or a 'room size,' at either extreme of Plexus.

Diffuse and Color offer softening/sharpening/darkening/brightening effects over time.

Couple and Skew are stereo operations: Couple determines to what degree the left and right sides are isolated or intermingled (from 'dual mono' to fully interlaced stereo), while Skew offers simultaneous inverse or tandem control of the left and right paths on the Plexus, Size, and Color parameters.

The Send gate input (normalled high, or patchable) determines whether and when the input signal will be fed into the Plexus.

An envelope follower is provided at the CV output for re-integration of the Plexus into its own controls or elsewhere in the voltage controlled system.

Plexiphon is built from entirely new code by Tom Erbe, specifically for Make Noise’s newest digital hardware.

24 Additive Synth Presets | Partials & Discrepancies 1.4.0

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A no-talking sound demo of all 24 new factory presets included with Partials & Discrepancies 1.4.0, releasing Friday, September 25, 2026.

Each preset gets a short improvised performance and nothing else, so this is mainly a chance to hear a bit of the range of the synth and the character of the new factory bank.

A lot of the new presets lean toward the more emotional, slightly broken, unstable, cinematic, or textural side of the synth, with movement in the additive oscillator, slot sequencer, discrepancies, modulation, and the newer performance features.

Most examples are played through Geometry Reverb, which is included free with any paid Unusable Engineering plugin purchase.

There is no talking in this video, just the synth, the presets, and the little touch of reverb.

Partials & Discrepancies 1.4.0 will be available on September 25, 2026.

Jaap Vink and Recursive Sound

video upload by La Synthèse Humaine

"Jaap Vink was a technician and teacher at the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht from 1967 until his retirement in 1993. During that time he pioneered numerous techniques for the analog realization of dense electronic sounds and was a key collaborator of Roland Kayn in the 1970's and 1980's. Vink was always in search of sounds that would break the inherent periodicity of electronics, and found that feedback was the key.

This video is the first in a mini-series looking at Vink's techniques which were documented by the fantastic retrospective double LP on Recollections GRM."

Ring-Modulated Feedback in BEA5

video upload by MrSonology

"This video shows a feedback patch that includes a delay (Studer A80 tape recorder), a ring modulator, a reverb (Lexicon PCM 90) and a modified Bruel & Kjaer third-octave filter. The technique was developed by Jaap Vink in the 1970s at the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht and can be heard in works by many composers, particularly those of Roland Kayn.
This video is dedicated to Jaap Vink and was recorded and edited by Siamak Anvari."

ZEROBOY: a Zero-input mixer demo. This time with a beat!

"Sometimes, you just have to have a play!

Available now at store.denversynth.com"

ZEROBOY

Zero-input mixer. DIY noise artist's playground.
A digital no-input mixer: four channels, two effect returns that are full mixer channels in their own right, db-cell running as the board's own noise floor, and a live patch bay — everything you hear starts as the board's own hiss going round a feedback loop until it finds a mode. CASCADE feeds each channel into the next, wrapping channel four back to channel one; CHEAP/SOLID decides how hard the shared power rail sags and lets every channel modulate every other one through it.

ZEROBOY plugin GUI
Four mixer channels, each with seven selectable circuit topologies and Mackie-style 3-band EQ, plus a CASCADE that feeds straight into the next channel — channel four wraps back to channel one

Reverb and delay aren't send effects — they're two more full mixer channels with their own gain, EQ, and aux sends, already wired into a two-node feedback loop with each other

Free Roland D-50 Editor & Librarian – Edit Patches in Your Browser

video upload by Ian Dixon

"My free Roland D-50 Editor Librarian is a browser-based Web MIDI tool for backing up, browsing, importing and editing D-50 sounds without sending your patch data to the cloud.

In this video I show the full workflow from the YouTube transcript: connecting the D-50 over MIDI, enabling SysEx, reading the current edit buffer, opening a patch library, sending sounds to the synth, receiving a full bulk dump from the D-50, saving a library backup, importing SysEx banks, and editing classic D-50 patches such as Fantasia. The editor also makes it easier to work with the D-50's upper and lower tones, partials, PCM and synthesis structures, ring modulation, filter and amp envelopes, reverb, tuning and patch management.

The aim is to give the Roland D-50 a modern librarian/editor workflow: build a large library of card sounds and custom patches, search for sounds quickly, send patches to the edit buffer when recording, and avoid constantly swapping cards or managing small internal banks by hand.

The Crow Hill Company Announces Availability of Utterly Terrifying CHILDREN’S CHOIR

Utterly Terrifying Choir - WALKTHROUGH video upload by CROW HILL

Press release follows:


The Crow Hill Company announces availability of CHILDREN’S CHOIR, crafting terrifying sounds from school-age children to deliver broad spectrum of timbral possibilities

EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to announce availability of CHILDREN’S CHOIR — crafting terrifying sounds from a school-age troupe of boys singing with just the right amount of ‘beautiful menace’ and an ability to be creative while working with the Edinburgh-based enterprise in support of delivering an instrument based around an expertly curated sample-set with a broad range of timbral possibilities designed by media composers with other media composers in mind — as of September 21…

Asked about the task of crafting CHILDREN’S CHOIR, The Crow Hill Company co-founder and media composer Christian Henson has his tongue not entirely out of his creative cheek in response, resurrecting the famous showbiz warning usually credited to American comedian W.C. Fields, effectively, by way of opening: “Never work with animals and children! So what’s this going to be like? Getting kids to be slightly demonic, evil, scary… they love it! And they totally seem to get making it so pretty that it’s scary. So we thought we’d try and nurture that spirit in a children’s choir library designed particularly for media composers — people who write for film, TV, and computer games. Why are these guys going to be wanting to use a children’s choir? Maybe there’s something set in a boarding school, maybe there’s something slightly choral and religious, but, more times than not, something unsettling is needed, and that’s where we’ve gone with this one. There are limits to how long children should be asked to perform. So, we thought we’d use the time thoughtfully, curating a selection of singing styles that capture this spirit. As opposed to giving you yet another library with ‘AAs’, ‘EEs’, ‘Ahs’, ‘Ohs’, and ‘MMs’, etcetera, AHOH, OHEH [and many more singing styles are available using the EXPRESSION wheel]. There’s some lovely WAVERING stuff where the pitch centres change. They sound great and scary when you cluster up, but on their own — or just a couple of notes — they have all sorts of childlike menace. There’s terrifying RISES and FALLS. And we’ve got a whole bunch of SHORT [singing styles].

Explaining and testing Plexiphon by Make Noise

video upload by Stazma

"More infos and affiliate links in the description // Support on Patreon to get samples from this session: / stazma

Today we are going to check out Plexiphon by Make Noise & Soundhack.

This is a very interesting effect module that blend multi-tap delay and reverb by giving you big macro controls over a giant feedback network.
Like the Erbe-Verb it is fully modeless so it will create all sort of weird unrealistic sounding reverb like effect (hence the name texturizer). The delay side can be a bit more « normal » but the multi-tap nature of it makes it quite weird (in a good way).
It is a very impressive and fun time and space playground.

Have fun!!!"
