Magnolia Polymove Explained: The Ultimate Randomization Tool

video upload by Frap Tools

"Looking to breathe life into your synth patches? In this video, we dive deep into Polymove, Magnolia’s custom modulation source that redefines randomization in sound design.

🔍 What is Polymove?
Unlike standard random generators, Polymove creates unique, independent values for every single voice and every destination it’s assigned to.

How it works in practice:

Multi-Destination Randomization: Assign Polymove to your filter cutoff and wavefolder simultaneously—striking a chord generates unique, unrelated values for both parameters on every note.

Unison Power: In a Unison mono lead, every stacked voice gets its own set of random values. This creates incredibly thick, organic textures that feel alive.

Infinite Variety: Use it subtly to emulate the "drift" of vintage analog gear, or crank it up for unpredictable, experimental soundscapes.

🎹 Mono vs. Legato Modes

Polymove adapts to your playing style based on your Part settings:

Mono: Generates fresh random values with every new note triggered. Legato: Generates new values only when you strike a key after all others have been released—ideal for fluid, evolving phrases."

Experimental Modular Footwork with TENORI-ON | Roar 2026-02-14 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An experimental footwork piece created with YAMAHA TENORI-ON and a modular synthesizer.

In the modular system, Plaits serves as the main oscillator, while MIDI triggers the Quad Function & Trigger Source. The sound is split into two paths: the direct output of Mutable Instruments Plaits and a version processed through a Clouds clone. These two signals are mixed in stereo. The final output is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, adding reverb and delay.

On the TENORI-ON, rhythm patterns are programmed in real time, with occasional delay applied via MOOD MKII."

Yuyo cmos synth - First try Attiny85 dco with analog cmos shaping and twin t filter

video upload by JIANT

"everything is from the synth to the zoom recorder, twin t drums, xor snare, pt2399, and cmos stuff.

attiny85 reseting the phase of 40106 oscilators, the digital control accepts 1voct from keysetp and go to the 40106 inputs through resistors, a little rc for filtering the pwm, and for this reason when you change the oscillator frequency you can get intervals and crazy stuff. is not orthodox but suits my need for Rich timbres. the dco goes to 40106 buffers , and then 4040 dividers, twin t filters, one for each of the two voices, one goes to env, vca, filter, delay, and the other one to clock divider and filter, to get the sub osc.

firmware super simple only for checking the conversion from filtered frecuency of the attiny85 to my 40106 non exponencial vcos.
currently is tracking 10 octaves really good, the trick is put a voltage divider in the cv in of the attiny because keystep has 0 to 10v and the attiny accepts 0 to 5v tehn the tracking inside the attiny converts o.5v oct to 1 volt oct. i dont know anything about coding but i made it with chat gpt and my design . source code will be in the coments ."

5. Cherry Audio SH-MAX - Roland's SH series reimagined! (Demo / Tutorial) - CatSynth TV

Press release follows:


Cherry Audio has announced SH-MAX, an innovative software synthesizer that integrates three legendary SH-series synths from the '70s: the SH-5, SH-7, and SH-3A.

Cherry Audio has announced the launch of SH-MAX, an innovative software synthesizer that integrates three legendary SH-series synthesizers from the 1970s: the SH-5, SH-7, and SH-3A. SH-MAX captures the bold sound of the SH-5 while incorporating features and aesthetics from the other models, enhancing the original designs with greater power, versatility, and essential tools for modern music production. Musicians and vintage synth enthusiasts can start using SH-MAX today for the incredibly low price of just $59, available at cherryaudio.com and authorized resellers worldwide.

SH-MAX faithfully recreates the vibrant tones and workflow of the original SH hardware. It features powerful dual oscillators, two LFOs and ADSR envelopes, the dual-parallel multimode and bandpass filter sections, and the five-channel mixer of the SH-5 (1976), plus a ring modulator and sample/hold capability. Also included are autobend, duophony, filter FM, and the syncable VCOs with additional waveforms found in the SH-7 (1978). The extra additive-style oscillator from the SH-3A (1975) further enhances sound design flexibility. Moreover, SH-MAX incorporates and expands upon the expressive touch performance of the SH-2000 (1973) and features an onboard sequencer inspired by the Model 104 of the legendary System 100 semi-modular synthesizer from 1975.

SH-MAX honors its lineage while taking full advantage of modern software capabilities, supporting mono, duophonic, and 16-voice polyphonic operation for rich chords as well as earthshaking unison timbres. It features three unique retro interface themes that pay homage to the aesthetic of the SH-3A, SH-5, and SH-7, providing a visually immersive experience for true vintage synth enthusiasts. Additionally, optional drift and slop controls for the oscillators, filters, amp, and dual envelope generators introduce authentic analog character and warmth to every sound patch.

The highly flexible SH-style stereo mixer and its varied workflow options allow for modular-style signal routing. Each sound source -- VCO-1, VCO-2A, VCO-2B, the ring modulator, and noise -- can be independently routed to the VCF, BPF, or VCA, with each path enhanced with its own chain of studio-quality effects. With 20 effects available to arrange and reuse within its four chains, SH-MAX provides an exceptionally wide sonic palette. Additional features include a four-channel step sequencer capable of parallel playback or extended chaining, along with a touch effects panel that supports channel and polyphonic aftertouch with compatible MIDI controllers.

SH-MAX's legacy traces back to over five decades of synthesizer and electronic music innovation. The SH-series synthesizers have been used by a diverse range of artists, including Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, Brian Eno, Gary Numan, Throbbing Gristle, Skinny Puppy, Aphex Twin, Orbital, Mathew Jonson, Pink Floyd, Nine Inch Nails, Kitaro, MGMT, Vangelis, The Human League, Blondie, Yello, and more.

With SH-MAX, users can create everything from massive leads and thick basses to lush pads and exceptional sound effects, making it a true synthesis powerhouse at their fingertips. To inspire musicians right out of the box, SH-MAX includes over 300 expertly crafted presets that showcase its broad capabilities. For those wanting even more, the Maximum Overdrive Preset Pack by sound designer James Dyson is available from Cherry Audio for $9.99, offering 100 additional presets that highlight SH-MAX's raw analog tone, advanced modulation, four-channel step sequencer, and abundant effects.

KALEIDOSCOPE. Standalone Rehearsal.

video upload by Vadjuse

"In this noisy and deep track, I use all four tracks from Kaleidoscope.

Tracks 3 and 4 are two bass sounds, tuned to a common MIDI channel to work in unison. Their frequencies are shifted by a fifth and an octave. I change this interval as the track progresses. These sounds FM-modulate each other and themselves. They also have different glide values ​​so that when the frequency is changed, the FM synthesis produces more fat and dirt. I also added distortion after the comb filter to make the sound as thick as possible. I was inspired by LORN.

Track 1 is a kick drum built on pitch modulation of a sine wave. This sine wave can be mixed with noise from a wavefolder. The modulation envelope increases the distortion level. The kick drum also has a very high feedback value of the comb filter, so we hear multiple echoes that act as a source of FM modulation for this kick drum. The comb filter's delay length is adjusted so that the echoes are precisely timed. The kick drum's filter is slightly closed to reduce the noise level.

Track 2 is a solo lead that has no internal modulations—just a sawtooth. However, it does have a cyclical volume envelope, which adds dynamics. This volume envelope also opens the kick filter on track 1, letting noise into the mix that feels like percussion. Track 2 experiences the FM modulation of track 3, which significantly complicates the timbre. I use this track for melodic movement—I play around with the transposition and try to keep the sound from becoming too dissonant.

System Lizard - Iguanamente

video upload by John Schussler

"I'm a sucker for anything with lots of cross modulation. The Iguanamente has that in spades, plus it's got a unique delay built into the audio path that makes for even more craziness.

They say: 'Iguanamente is a chaotic oscillator designed to provide a Eurorack modular synthesizer with a unique and creative sound source that is suitable for percussion, noise, leads, basses, drones, and everything in between.'

Sounds about right.

This is pretty much all just the module. There is some reverb there for space, but that's it.

00:00 Intro
00:20 Main out
06:00 Main + Aux
19:43 Sequence"

This is the first post to feature the Iguanamente!

via Perfect Circuit

The Iguanamente from System Lizard is a chaotic dual oscillator built around a cross modulating oscillator and delay network. Thanks to a keen and comprehensive array of timbre and modulation controls, Iguanamente readily stretches across musical terrain, wagging its reptilian tail between percussion, texture, and melodic applications alike. At the top of the panel, Coarse frequency control sets the fundamental frequency of the system, with dedicated 1V/octave and FM inputs for adjusting frequency via CV. The Radius control manipulates the spread of auxiliary oscillators, allowing for a wide range of inharmonic and harmonic timbral expansion. Shape controls the waveshape of all oscillators, hard clipping into a square wave to the left of center and wavefolding to the right.

These oscillators are then processed through a delay network, with controls for Feedback, delay time or Frequency, and a Mix control. At the bottom of the module, cross modulation controls and CV inputs for oscillator frequency modulation, oscillator amplitude modulation, and delay time allow you to introduce nonlinear modulations into Iguanamente, sparking unique and chaotic changes in timbre. At the top right corner of the module, independent outputs for the Main and Auxiliary oscillators offer independent post processing potential or serve as a pseudo-stereo output. If you're looking for a flexible oscillator with unique character and a taste for chaos, Iguanamente from System Lizard is a righteously fun reptile for any rack.

IGUANAMENTE FEATURES

Dual oscillator design with integrated delays
Coarse frequency control
FM input and attenuverter control, knob acts as fine pitch control when no FM source connected

The "Easel" Spirit in 3U - A West Coast Eurorack Deep Dive

video upload by Sean Graves

The following is in via Sean Graves, who had the following to say:

"The piece, 'The 'Easel' Spirit in 3U: Rebuilding a Buchla Soul in Eurorack,' documents my five-year journey to replicate the specific workflow and 'soul' of the Buchla Music Easel using a curated Eurorack system."

"This post explores the creative power of 5-step sequencing (the 'migrating downbeat'), the 'origami' of wavefolding via the Verbos Complex Oscillator, and the organic harmonic dampening of vactrol-based Low Pass Gates. It’s a technical yet accessible look at why the West Coast workflow remains the 'holy grail' for performance - based synthesis."

The full write-up follows, with a demonstration of the system in the video above.

The “Easel” Spirit in 3U: Rebuilding a Buchla Soul in Eurorack

The Buchla Music Easel is legendary. It isn’t just a synthesizer. It’s a self-contained performance ecosystem. For many of us, the “Easel” workflow is the holy grail of synthesis. However, instead of chasing original hardware, I’ve spent the past five years rebuilding its specific soul within the Eurorack format. Because everyone deserves a hobby, right?

The Chef vs. The Sculptor
Most East Coast synthesizers work like a sculptor. You start with a massive block of harmonic noise (Sawtooth or Square waves) and carve it away with a filter. The Buchla workflow is different. It’s like being a chef in your own Hell’s Kitchen. You start with basic, “bland” ingredients (sine waves) and spice them up with Frequency Modulation (FM), Amplitude Modulation (AM), your choice, and then fold until the sound sizzles.

My current rig recreates this spirit by focusing on three pillars: Uncertainty, Complex Oscillation, and the iconic Sequential Voltage Source.

Part One: The Modulators (The Brain)
In a true Easel style setup, the Tokyo Tape Music Center 5-Step Sequencer acts as the brain. While most modern sequencers favor 4-8-16-32 steps, the 5-step limitation is actually a creative superpower.

Serge Modular Synth | Analog FM Drone

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Serge Modular Synth (Sample Pack)
Created entirely with the unique sonic character of Serge modular systems
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

About this Pack
This updated sample pack is composed entirely with Serge Modular Synthesizers — systems known not for emulating instruments, but for redefining how sound is shaped.
Included are raw noise textures, slowly morphing drones, and intricate one-shots captured through extensive patching with Random*Source Eurorack modules and classic Paperface 50 series panels.
Each sound reflects the chaotic elegance of analog voltages in motion. You’ll hear modulations that escape grid-bound sequencing, and timbral behaviors that emerge from complex feedback, slewing, and intermodulation — the kind of detail digital systems rarely capture convincingly.

Why Serge Matters
Serge Modular was designed in the 1970s by Serge Tcherepnin. It was created as an open-ended tool for sonic experimentation. Influenced by cybernetics and avant-garde composition, this system rejects musical hierarchies and embraces uncertainty.

In Serge, control voltages and audio signals are treated as equals. The circuits invite exploration through feedback, cross-modulation, and unpredictable interactions. Every patch is a process of discovery rather than reproduction.

This makes Serge a powerful choice for artists seeking sounds that are not pre-shaped or confined by rules. The textures you will find in this pack are unstable, alive, and deeply human.
