Soft Memo is a hybrid stereo multi effects desktop unit with eight digital CV controlled FX programs, two analogue feedback paths and two complex voltage-controlled LFOs.

It has patch points to integrate external synthesisers and sequencers and it is designed to creatively reshape your sounds with a menu-free hands-on approach.

You can create patches by connecting inputs and outputs with eurorack-standard 1/8" jacks.

All its inputs are protected from potentially dangerous voltages.

It generates (and reacts to) control voltages in the 0-5V range: when a CV signal is patched into an input, its knob becomes an attenuator for the incoming signal.

The patch points are visually divided between inputs and outputs: the inputs are placed in the middle of a white circle while the outputs are not.

Soft Memo is powered by a 9V center-negative (500 mA) power supply, the standard PSU used with most guitar pedals.

Features:

Eight FX programs

A total of 25 patch points

Two high gain preamps

Two feedback paths made of analog VCAs and resonant analog VCFs


Two complex voltage controlled LFOs with clock division and phase offset control

An envelope follower

A→B buttons to set how the two channels controls interact with each other"

Arturia sound design masterclass | 27 November 2025

video upload by Signal Sounds

"** Note: unfortunately, thanks to a corrupted SD card, we only have clean audio for the first 35 minutes or so of this session - it switches to the backup room mic for the remainder. Apologies for the drop in sound quality, hopefully it doesn't detract too much from the content! **

Our final in-store event of 2025 was a sound design masterclass from Arturia's Tom Lewis, who used a PolyBrute 12 to give a crash course in subtractive analogue synthesis and revealed some tips for creating pads, basses and leads on any polysynth.

PolyBrute 12 is available here:

Xfer Serum 2: Dark Rhythmic Presets. Arps, Pads, Basses Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"❄️ Alchemy Of Glacial Rhythms is a bank of 50 rhythmic presets for Xfer Serum 2, inspired by the north and its cold winters, which are accompanied by a special dark magic. The core idea of the bank was to create rhythmic, atmospheric, and "cold" sounds that evoke a certain magic. The result was brutal yet ethereal arps, growling basslines, magic pads, cold noisy synths, and mystical textures.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/seru...
The bank includes 50 Presets: 10 arps, 10 basses, 10 pads, 10 synths, 10 textures.
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).

🔮 The soundset spans a wide range of tones, from warm, deep and atmospheric textures to clean, punchy, bright and airy timbres. The sounds include different combinations of oscillators in different modes, such as wavetable, FM, granular and spectral as well as different types of reverbs, delays, distortions, filters, and modulations.
Presets are suitable for genres such as ambient, cinematic, IDM, experimental, techno, breakbeat, jungle and many others.

🎛 Macros can change tone, stereo width, modulation depth and rate, noise level, distortion, detuning, space/echo/reverb, effects mix, envelope parameters, and others.
You may control them via MIDI controller, use them for automation, or map the macros to your DAW modulators like LFO, Shaper, and others.

ModWheel adds expressiveness to the timbre.

❗️Compatible only with Serum 2. Not compatible with Serum 1.
Installation: Open the Serum menu and click 'Show Serum Presets Folder.' You will see folders containing different Serum content. Open the 'Presets' folder and place the new bank (folder) of presets there."

FOLKTEK ALTER Y GUITAR MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR PEDAL

You can find demos and additional details in additional posts here.

"Manufacturer's description
Alter Y is the pedal version of Alter 2 eurorack module featuring four 1/4" jacks in addition to 1/8" as well as buffered switching that allows for trails.

Though it functions the same as other pedals, this pedal is a little different. Most pedals are made for guitars and then artists may choose to use them in different ways. We made this pedal to work with either standard ¼” jacks (for both input and output) or 1/8” (3.5mm) jacks for use with anything else. For those who like to use CV (control voltage) for any eurorack format, cv keyboard, or pedals which output cv (eg. expression or sequencing), all four of the main knobs have cv inputs (mix, x, y, filter) so you can control your knobs without touching if the desire strikes you.

These pedals accept guitar, line or eurorack levels.

The enclosure is very thick, gold plated PCB (it’s very, very tough).

Included power is standard for most pedals (2.1mm, -tip)

We wanted a broad array of effects in each X and Y pedal so each is a mashup of effects which we thought complimented one another when used together. Running X into Y or vis versa creates some powerful changes."

KORG ARP 2600 FS DEMO

video upload by EthanRayMusic

"Here's 8 minutes of me messing around on Korg's full size reissue of the ARP 2600. This is by no means a comprehensive showcase of its sonic potential, which is vast, but just a small taste of how great it sounds.

No reverb or effects, just the pure, dry signal of the 2600 going into my interface."

Whether noodling in your music space after work or jamming with friends, The NDLR can take your music to amazing places!

Press one of the seven chord buttons, and the two arpeggiators and drone follow the chord notes while your polyphonic synth sings with pads.

There are start and stop buttons for each of the four parts, and a button to start/stop all parts. And there’s a “panic” button to stop all MIDI notes.

"A pre-owned Jomox AlphaBase in very good condition. It comes with original packaging and accessories.

Manufacturer's description
The ALPHA BASE Mk II is the sucessor of the already legendary ALPHA BASE.
Graphic OLED display
Real RGB LEDs in the sequencer
More buttons: Last Step, Roll/Flam, Store Kit/Patt, Rec Para and Rec Sample
Analogue panning circuitry for the hybrid sample channels
Improved analogue engine
Noise volume is controllable in the hybrid sample channels
More samples
Headphone volume is independent from mix volume
It's true analogue. Eleven instruments, sequencer, Midi/USB/SD-Card. Samples. Sampling inputs, balanced individual outputs.
Although it may appear similar to the classics XBASE 09, 999 and 888, the ALPHA BASE has an entirely new design under the hood. We have put in the concentrated know-how of the Jomox drum machines and of our synths of the past 20 years. We have simplified some things, but also added new components or have combined them new. The outcome is the best sounding and most versatile drum machine that Jomox has ever built."

"A pre-owned ISLA SP2400 in very good condition. It comes with its original packaging and accessories.

Manufacturer's description
For us, the S2400 is a passion project – to recreate the sound of one of the world’s most iconic sampling drum machines, and bring it up-to-date with modern features. The result is the very best of old school and new school technology coming together.

Brad has been obsessed with drum machines for many years – owning, repairing, restoring, modifying countless makes and models (see his HR-16 mods on youtube).

Staying true to form in both sonic characteristics and design aesthetic were the main drivers in the realisation of this project, while bringing the hardware into the 21st Century and keeping the same ‘instant gratification’ and intuitiveness of its spiritual pre-predecessor at heart."
