Diving deep into Doppler by Jasmine & Olive Trees, a Eurorack module that makes drums from any sound


video upload by Perceptes and Jasmine & Olive Trees

"In this video, we'll be diving deep into Doppler, a new Eurorack module from Jasmine & Olive Trees that can turn any sound source into a drum! Doppler also has an amazing new mechanism for changing firmware by simply placing an overlay panel on top of the module."

00:00 Meet Doppler 01:13 Patch previews 01:56 Automatic firmware switching 04:28 Module overview 06:18 Noise output 07:09 Kick drum sounds 09:16 Mod control 09:40 Chord mode 11:14 Doppler mode 12:13 FM mode 13:53 LPG (low pass gate) mode 14:57 Snare drum sounds 15:24 Hi-hat sounds 15:39 FM tom sounds 16:13 Chaotic textures 16:36 Full beat with Traffic 20:07 Glitchy percussion 22:49 Different transient sources 26:16 Speech sample as body input 29:44 Chord progression 32:52 Doppler jam



Includes Door, Rubin and Lichen overlays for free, the firmware is automatically swapped when placing an overlay on top of the modul.

Any sound source becomes percussion.

Feed an oscillator, a sample, or any audio signal into Doppler. It shapes it into a kick, a snare, a hi-hat, a percussion, or something else.

It morphs anything into everything. The best friend for Traffic & Prio.

All the processing moves across a continuous spectrum: from a clean signal, to a pitch envelope, into FM modulation for complex percussive textures.

Built on top of our J&OT DSP platform. Future family firmwares can be swapped for free using a simple USB cable and our J&OT web tool, no extra hardware required.

Highlights

Doppler kick engine: delay-line pitch sweep, five depths from –1 to –3 octaves

Harmonic FM: modulator tracks the spectral peak of your input, plus cross-mod chaos at the top

13 chord voicings: major, minor, sus, 6ths, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths via four pitch-shifted taps

Two inputs: Body (main signal) and Trans (transient channel with auto-tuned band-pass)

VCA / LPG modes: toggle via long-press, saved to memory

Independent noise output: dust oscillator whose density tracks input character

CV: on Attack, Decay, Mod, Amount

Smart Attack: noise decay to the left, or long swell to the right, all on one knob

STIGMA // Raw Analog Destruction & Tube Self-Oscillation #eurorack #modularsynth #synthesizer


video upload by Arcaico Instruments



"STIGMA is not just a module: it is a destructive, versatile analog sonic organism, powered by real vacuum tubes and designed to disrupt your Eurorack ecosystem.

Built with a flexible True Stereo and Dual Mono architecture, STIGMA offers total control over signal routing, allowing you to process independent sources or shape the stereophonic space with dense, harmonically rich tube saturation.

From Signal Processor to Pure Synthesizer
While STIGMA is designed to filter, mangle, and brutally distort any external source (drum machines, oscillators, full mixes), it also hides an autonomous and unpredictable soul.

By driving the filter into self-oscillation, the module transforms into a fully-fledged solo synthesizer or a formidable percussive sound generator. By modulating the resonance and leveraging the lightning-fast response of its circuitry, STIGMA can sculpt devastating kicks, metallic toms, and thick, industrial percussive textures, saturated directly by the tube stage.

Key Features:
True Stereo & Dual Mono: Two completely independent tube channels for maximum routing flexibility.

Warmth & Destruction: A tube saturation and distortion stage to go from subtle analog warmth to harsh, destructive clipping.

Advanced Filtering: Analog filters molded around the tube character, capable of cutting through the mix or screaming when pushed to the limit.

Self-Oscillation & Percussive Engine: Generate heavy kicks, industrial toms, and unique percussive sounds by using the circuit's self-oscillation as a sound source.

Eurorack Interface: Integrated CV controls for total, dynamic interaction with the rest of your modular system."

""Every instrument has a manual.
STIGMA has a story."

This short film explores the world surrounding STIGMA, not through technical explanations, but through atmosphere, symbolism and imagination.

Created entirely in stop motion, this short film marks the beginning of STIGMA's journey into the world.

Every set was handcrafted using reclaimed materials, and every movement was animated frame by frame through thousands of individual photographs.

At Arcaico, we believe that instruments can be more than tools.

They can become artifacts, carrying stories, symbols and worlds waiting to be explored.

One Drum Loop, Infinite Soundscapes | Torso S-4 Exploration Vol. 34 #sounddesign


video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Welcome to Volume 34 of my Torso S-4 Explorations.

For this improvised live performance, I set a strict creative limitation: use only one single sample (a drum loop) and one single track on the Torso Electronics S-4. The goal was to push the boundaries of the S-4's granular and sound-design engines to see just how far a single piece of source audio could be stretched, morphed, and reshaped into a variety of sonic landscapes.

The performance was recorded live with only minor edits for pacing. Final audio was lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools."

UDO Audio DMNO Binaural Dynamic Synth Review - SonicLAB, Sample Pack


video upload by Sonicstate

Superbooth videos mentioned posted here.

"In this SonicLAB, we look into the @udo_audio UDO Audio DMNO, an 8-voice polyphonic binaural analog hybrid synthesizer with dynamic signal architecture.

The DMNO is sonically different from the Super Series, featuring a grittier, more aggressive sound. With dual synth engines, though each DMNO integrates the familiar Super DDS oscillators and custom wavetables and both support both stereo and binaural modes. With 8 voices total, when running two DMNOs in Binaural mode, in split or layer, that will reduce the voice count to 2.

The oscillators can cross mod and route with plenty of audio rate modulation , the LFO 1 also can run tracked and in Audio Rate mode too.

There's lots of configuration, routing and drive with the stereo analog filter, these have multiple modes, stereo, parallel and series routings with Frequency delta between each 'side' of the filters for some lovely formant and vowel like articulations.

Mod matrix has 7 slots plus two fixed routings for wheel and envelope velocity - perhaps the selection of source and destinations could be increased if the FPGA pathways allow for it, and it would be nice to see FX parameters as a destination at some point.

With EQ, Chorus and Drive per DMNO and a shared Delay/Reverb on send, there's some decent additional sound sculpting to be had.

Priced at £2,599, this synth gives an alternative to the other synths in the UDO range"

M‑VAVE FM‑1 Review & Sound Demo – Fun Pocket FM Synth

video upload by dongchannel

"How does this under‑$70 FM synthesizer perform? Check out this video for a full feature walkthrough, sound demos, and my honest thoughts.

I first spotted the M‑VAVE FM‑1 at this year's Guangzhou Musical Instrument Fair, and picked one up shortly after for about 300 RMB (around $60). The packaging is minimal, the unit itself is compact (16×9 cm), yet it packs everything you'd need. Connectivity is surprisingly generous, with both wired and wireless MIDI and audio support – really well‑equipped for its size.

Inside, you get a 6‑operator FM engine, essentially a recreation of a classic 1980s Japanese synth. It comes with 128 preset sounds, plus an effects chain, a 16‑step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and deeper editing tools. Pair it with an external MIDI keyboard and the playability expands even further.

Are there minor software quirks? Sure. But at this price, they're hardly worth mentioning. Compared to other portable sound gadgets in its class, the FM‑1 is just plain fun. And for the money, the build quality and feature set far exceeded my expectations."

5 Patches with the Befaco Iroi module


video upload by Modular Fungi and Omri Cohen

"The tracks from this video are also available as a free EP on Bandcamp - https://omricohencomposer.bandcamp.co...

Online Courses about Modular Synthesis - https://bit.ly/learnmodular

Patch 1 - 00:00
--------

In this one, I'm using noise from Noise Plethora to excite Iroi. I'm using a band pass filter on Noise Plethora, sequencing it with the Voltage Block. On Iroi, I'm using the comb filter with internal modulation on the resonance. I'm also using the resonator with modulation on the feedback, and the echo and ambience. The levels of the resonator, echo, and ambience, are sequenced by the Voltage Block. I'm then sending Iroi to the Zagreb filter from Xaoc, using its low pass filter with noise modulation of the spread control. I'm also using the high pass output of Zagreb, sending it through the Guillotine distortion module, and from there, to the EON filter. This is going to 2 delays on Samarkanda, so only when I open the EON filter, the sound goes to the delays, and I play with the delay times.

Chase Bliss BIG TIME Delay Showcase | Sound Demo (feat. Modal Element One) ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬


video upload by Davide Puxeddu

"A pure audio demonstration of the Chase Bliss Big Time hybrid analog/digital echo, utilizing the newly released Modal Electronics Element One virtual analog synthesizer as the main sound source.
No talking, just hardware.

Designed in collaboration with John Snyder of Electronic Audio Experiments (EAE), the Chase Bliss Big Time is a true-stereo hybrid echo that revisits the mixed-up, unique circuitry found in rackmount delays from the early 1980s. In that era, advanced analog engineering was functionally used to prop up crude digital systems. The Big Time intentionally embraces and pushes this hybrid architecture to its absolute extremes.

This video showcases how the Big Time's interactive controls and dual stages of analog coloration transform incoming synthesizer signals:

• Stereo Analog Preamp (Color): Adds beautiful, warm saturation to the input stage, designed to handle a wide variety of instruments.
• Feedback Loop Limiter (State): An analog clipping limiter in the delay path that creates everything from smooth compression to crumbling, misbiased overdrive that slowly disintegrates your echoes.
• Cluster Slider: Blends in additional delay taps and diffusion, smudging and expanding the sound into rich ambient delights and multi-tap clusters inspired by vintage space station units.
• Scale & Motion: Controls creative transposition, Thermae-like musical sequencing, and stereo modulation (Sine, Square, Envelope).

Watch how the Big Time's motorized faders react and seamlessly transition through different delay modes—from tight modulations (3-46ms) to Short (46-736ms) and Long delays, across HiFi, Focus, Warm, and Analog voicings.

Providing the core audio tracking is the Modal Element One. Its 8-voice virtual analog engine, morphable filters, and rich stereo waveforms offer the perfect high-quality sonic canvas to test the Big Time's true-stereo capabilities, input saturation, and analog dry-thru.

🎧 Headphones or studio monitors are highly recommended to capture the full true-stereo imaging and analog character of the pedal.

Special thanks to Chase Bliss!"

Playlist: 1. Quad Macro 2. Envelope Follower 3. Grain Sparkles 4. Grain Shape

Press release follows:


Prague, Czech Republic, June 23, 2026: Beetlecrab Audio announces Tempera Firmware v2.3, a firmware update introducing cross-modulation, audio envelope follower, quad-macro control, per-emitter pitch sequencing, and numerous community-driven workflow enhancements.

Tempera is a hardware granular synthesizer built around a simple idea: eight samples laid out on a surface, with grains roaming across. At its core is a granular engine with a global pool of 4096 grains, shared across voices, and any single voice can claim the entire pool if needed. Tempera is just as happy chopping breaks and sequencing tight rhythmic patterns as it is building massive drifting clouds. Since launch it has found its way to musicians in over 60 countries, growing steadily through firmware updates shaped and steered by a community that has lived with the instrument long enough to know it inside out.

B67 ZEN-FM Synthesis - Editor-Librarian 2.0


video uploads by Benedetto Schiavone

Follow-up to New 3rd Party Hidden Sysex Based ZEN-Core Editor-librarian for MC-101 and MC-707

Playlist:

1. B67 ZEN-FM Synthesis - Editor-Librarian 2.0 - ZEN-Core Tone collection 3 (2026)
2. Benis67 - ZEN-Core Tone Collection 3 (2026) - Demo Sounds
3. B67 ZEN-Core editor librarian V.2 - Video manual



Press release follows:

"B67 ZEN FM" synthesis engine (4 operators with linear FM + 4 wave shapes) for all Roland instruments that support the ZEN-Core standard: new editor and sound collection.

The new ZEN-Core Editor Librarian V2.0 (PC and MAC) is now available for Roland synthesizers from the Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X/Xm.

Among many new features, it allows editing of a new synthesis engine, fully compatible with the ZEN-Core standard, which uses linear FM synthesis (4 operators) and 4 modulable operator waveshapes

The "B67 ZEN FM" synthesis engine is achieved through a special implementation of a ZEN-Core tone that allows access to only a limited number of synthesis parameters, leaving the others predefined and inaccessible (e.g., Structure 1-2/3-4 = XMOD2, Osc Type = VA).

Specifically, the modulation matrix is ​​"locked" with predefined Source and Destination parameters to ensure correct modulations that operate on the main FM synthesis parameters.

Real-time editing is performed on a new page containing all the synthesis parameters, the operator frequencies settable via the freq. ratio parameter (0.25, 0.5, 0.78, 1, 1.5, 1.57, 1.78, 2, 3, 3.5, 4.5, etc.), the waveforms (SIN, SIN2, TRI, TRI2, TRI3, SAW, SQR, RAMP, JUNO), the graphic display of the 8 envelopes (4 for FM and 4 for shapes), a dedicated librarian (2048 sounds), 20 tone presets, 8 ENV presets, a clipboard, and the ability to copy and paste synthesis parameters.

Each sound is associated with one of the 93 MFX multi-effects, which can be edited in the dedicated section.

By applying waveshaping to the 4 operators' waveforms (via the FAT and PW parameters) and modulating them with 4 dedicated ENVs, the synthesis engine can replicate the phase distortion (PD) synthesis famous in Casio CZ synths.

When using sine wave oscillators and modulating their PW with the dedicated ADSR ENVs, the overall synthesis structure becomes similar to that of an 8-operator FM algorithm, as shown in the image: 4 operators (1, 2, 3, and 4) can have their frequencies freely configured, while the other 4 modulate the corresponding carriers and modulators with a 1:1 ratio.

Polyphony is 22 voices for all synthesizers, pianos, keyboards, wind instruments, guitar synths, and virtual instruments compatible with the ZEN-Core standard. This is reduced to 11 voices for the MC-101, MC-707, and VERSELAB MV-1 grooveboxes.

Simplified graphical editing of all parameters, sound management via the librarian, and parameter recall for subsequent editing is only possible with the ZEN-Core Editor Librarian V2.0.


The new B67 ZEN-Core Collection 3 (197 ZEN-Core tones in total) is also available, including 112 tones created with the "B67 ZEN-FM" synthesis engine.

Thanks to full compatibility with the ZEN-Core standard, these sounds can be used on all compatible instruments and virtual instruments: Zenology Pro, Zenbeats (ZC-1), FP-E50, RD-88, RD-08, Juno-D, Juno-X, V-Stage, MC-101, MC-707, Verselab MV-1, GM-800, Aerophone AE-20 Pro AE-30, GO:KEYS 5, GO:KEYS 3.

Along with the collection, the sounds with the B67 ZEN-FM synthesis engine also come with a proprietary file format that can be edited and managed within the Editor/Librarian V2.0 section, available for Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X/Xm.

Among the various sounds in the collection, created with this synthesis, are emulations of some "classic" Yamaha DX7 sounds (Marimba, Vibe, Celesta, Bakket, Jazz Guitar, Tubular Bell, EPiano, Bowed Strings, Brass, Synth Bass, Metal, etc.) and original sounds that use FM and Wave Shape synthesis for new sounds with complex and evolving harmonic spectra.

The upgrade to version 2.0 of the ZEN-Core Editor Librarian for Fantom, AX-Edge, and Jupiter-X is free (it can be found in the Gumroad repository or through the paywall of those who purchased it).

Collection 3 (197 ZEN-Core tones, including 112 created with the B67 ZEN-FM synthesis engine) is available individually, in the "best of" version, and bundled with other collections and editors.

We are currently focused on getting these cards into the hands of users and continuing to optimise the enhanced software bundled with them.

What is the FI50A?

The Freshwater FI50A is a complete modern replacement for the original CMI computer section, including CPU, graphics display, memory and library storage. It is compatible with Fairlight CMI Series I, II and IIx systems. The FI50A preserves the character, workflow and hardware experience of the original instrument while dramatically improving speed, reliability, storage and usability. It runs enhanced software derived from the original source code keeping the instrument recognisably and operationally a Fairlight CMI.

The card arrives pre-installed with a fully licensed original CMI sound library and adds practical modern ways to expand it, including enhanced 10-bit sampling, waveform upload over Wi-Fi, SD card and USB memory support. It also adds DisplayPort output, USB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi while retaining support for legacy CMI keyboards, CRT/light pen operation, floppy disks, MIDI interfaces and Series I/II channel cards.

Installation is straightforward and fully reversible. Using the supplied user manual and online video guide, the original CPU and peripheral cards can be removed and preserved, the FI50A installed in their place, and the original peripherals reconnected.

For owners familiar with the CMI, the result is not a different instrument, but a transformed one: faster, easier to maintain and ready for contemporary studio use while remaining true to the original machine.

“I once said ‘one day the whole CMI will fit on one chip’. We all had a laugh at that. Fast forward 40 years and that’s the reality. By making this new board compatible with the original CMI channel cards, the bits that make the CMI sound so unique are still there, while the digital part is a zillion times more powerful, smaller, cheaper and reliable.” —Peter Vogel
