"This is one of the most beautiful synth sounds I've ever heard.
For this patch on the amazing ECHON 6 synthesizer by Morphor, I'm not using its exciter/synth section at all. The sound comes from its 6 BBD delay lines feedbacking indefinitely. The fact that the people at Morphor got to make BBD delay chips track pitch this well is already wild, but how they also managed to implement the super special glide you're hearing in this patch is beyond me. It sounds so alive!
I made use of ECHON 6's super intuitive and extensive mod section to give this patch some movement; with some LFOs I'm slowly opening and closing the filter in the feedback path and moving the voices in the stereo field. I applied keytracking to the LFO speeds making sure that each voice has different movements and a different place in the stereo field. I love that you can route keytracking to anything on ECHON 6.
I did use a fair bit of Valhalla Vintage Verb for this patch as the synth doesn't have an internal reverb. A gliding patch like this really benefits from some time based effects.
Every time I sit down with ECHON 6 for a bit, a new sound that I've never made on any other synth arises, it's so cool! I've made a lot more music with it and I'm super exited to show you.
I'm off to Superbooth now, I''ll be back with a new video next week! If you happen to be at Superbooth as well and want to say hi, feel free to shoot me a message on Instagram."
"On our way to #Superbooth 2026! Really excited to see all our friends and fellow makers again!
This year, we will be showing the Plinky 12 family of expressive polyphonic touch synthesizers.
In this video, Enrica, engineer and musician of Düsseldorf-based synth maker Making Sound Machines, explores the new Plinky 12 Chords play surface.
The built-in sequencer produces a calm pulse, triggering an Arpeggio ramp at the beginning of each bar. With her left hand, Enrica selects which harmonies to arpeggiate from the rainbow chord palette at the bottom of the instrument.
With her right hand, she plays an expressive melody on the polyphonic play surface. The notes in this view are arranged in a tetrachord layout and adapt automatically to each harmony selected.
All sounds are produced with Plinky 12's internal synth engine."

PolyFreq pitches availability of Phonon plug-in debut as precision granular laboratory for sonic alchemy
BRISTOL, UK: boutique musical tools-maker PolyFreq is proud to announce availability of Phonon as its debut plug-in — pitched as a precision laboratory for sonic alchemy, built around a high-quality sample granulation engine with root note detection, four keyboard follow modes, and legato giving it real versatility as a playable instrument — as of May 5…
Acting as a musical synthesiser first and foremost, Phonon is designed for very intentional, controllable reconstruction of one source, leaning into synchronous granular or ‘graintable’ synthesis. Sub-sample grain scheduling and separate grain rate and density controls open new vistas of repeatable, controllable timbre and tempo across macro and micro parameter ranges. Reality dictates that where other granular synths default to randomisation or multiple sources, Phonon provides users with complete control over every grain — from classic textural clouds to malleable ‘grainwave’ synthesis. Indeed, it is equal parts laboratory and playground.
“Phonon’s development was inspired by the great creativity of early granular work from composers such as Wishart and Roads, and the deep listening of Oliveros, with a desire to make this wild, creative territory more accessible to electronic music production and sound design, without stripping away what makes it strange and inspirational.” So says PolyFreq founder Nick Mariette by way of an illuminating introduction. It aims for ease of use, with a simple drag-and-drop workflow for modulation, and most features are immediately visible, with minimal menus or hidden options. And a flexible array of audio-rate modulation sources provide huge scope for patches that respond and evolve, including LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators), envelopes, sample metadata, sequencers, MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) control data, and various noise flavours.
Features additionally worthy of the edited highlights treatment here include Phonon’s granular engine — eight voices of polyphony with up to 256 grains per voice and sub-sample precision that bridges the gap between classic textures and sharp ‘graintable’ synthesis; effects — shape sounds with a character-driven signal chain, from saturating drive to resonant filtering, as well as a utility reverb for glue or depth; presets — easily capture, export, evolve, and share sonic creations with sample embedding and eight-way snapshots; and drag-and-drop workflow in a resizeable interface for easy enjoyment as a standalone instrument or for plug-in-based DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) production.
Phonon’s uses are almost endless — think time stretching; pitch shifting; sample mangling; sound design; classic textural, granular clouds; synchronous, tuned granular tone creation; creating a synth from any sample; rhythmic grain generation, synced to host; beat retiming and timbre distortion; and more besides. Back to Nick Mariette: “Phonon is intended for reshaping beats and designing synth leads as much as for losing time in ethereal granular atmospheres; I hope it will connect people to listening differently, discovering the sounds within sounds.”
Anyone attending SUPERBOOTH26, May 7-9, FEZ-Berlin, Germany is hereby encouraged to swing by Booth H116 there, where PolyFreq will be showcasing Phonon to the musical masses assembled and Nick Mariette himself will be on hand to personally provide a warm welcome with an open invitation to discover those sounds within sounds. Spanning chaotic clouds to precise synthesis, controllable sonic alchemy is there for the taking so why not take this hands-on opportunity to discover and delight in vibrating matter differently with Phonon!
Phonon is available to buy as a standalone or VST3 plug-in for macOS (10.13 or later) and Windows (10 or later) at a 33% launch discount — duly rising thereafter to its full price of $89.00 USD (excluding tax)/€76.00 EUR (including tax)/£68.00 GBP (including tax) — directly from PolyFreq here: https://www.polyfreq.com/products

"Announcing the Leveling EQ Amplifier: stereo widening, Neve 1073 style EQ, and LA-2A style optical compression in 14hp. $345 available June 30th from your favorite synth retailer."
The Leveling EQ Amplifier is an end-of-chain audio processor designed to polish individual elements of a patch, stereo bus, or full master bus.
Inspired by the simple interfaces and pleasing sounds of two cornerstones of mixing, the LA-2A optical compressor and the 1073 EQ, the LEQA combines a compressor, an equalizer, and a modern Stereo Width Processor in one 14HP package.
Rather than being fully parametric, pre-defined curves and frequency selections make the art of mixing intuitive. Very little effort is needed for great sounding mixes.
The compressor mimics optical compression, which is a beautifully simple concept that yields incredibly musical results.
The EQ section is built to help accentuate and excite your mix, clear up muddled sounds, and increase the overall headroom.
The Stereo Width Processor adjusts the stereo image, letting you dial back a wide image into a cohesive sound, or push a normal stereo signal into "super stereo" territory. When used with mono sources, it can widen mono sources into stereo using a combination of psychoacoustic techniques.
The Leveling EQ Amplifier excels in live performances, studio work, subtle utility tasks, extreme sonic sculpting, audio "glue" to hold a patch together, and as an effect in its own right.
"And finally it arrived!
A masterpiece of a special poly synth (dual module) :-)
I seriously cannot stop play the UDO synths they are just so fun and special.
These sounds are custom made and no external FX being used, not even compression just to give you a more honest point of view of this machine.
Since this is a crazy machine when it comes to signal path flexibility then patches will jump in volume from patch to patch :-)
This synth will easily push out some of my other synths with all it's right of being an engineering-art literally.
Thank you UDO team for making ground breaking machines and above all keeping your production in UK and the outstanding high quality!"
"Here's how KATLA was made - recorded at the Synth & Pedal Expo London (plus sounds at the end!). Katla is a unique synth - inspired by a titanic volcano in Iceland, with a huge gritty vibey sound. It literally has volcano in it(!) And after this interview, I thought about it a lot. Because behind the scenes, I've been working on a product and so much of what Óli said here resonated with my own experiences. I was really struck by how open, candid and frank Óli was, and I think there's huge value in learning from their journey. Hope you find this interesting!
Note that there was the Hackney half marathon happening in the background with people shouting and whooping constantly throughout the chat - but Izotope RX to the rescue!"

"Hi everybody this time we bring you the Audio.Computer Interview at the London Synth and Pedal Expo 2026 talking about the beat friend drum machine
Beat Friend is the first offering from audio.computer, a UK-based duo making ‘benevolent, semi-autonomous music machines’. Beat Friend is an analogue drum machine, using circuits based on the ‘twin-t’s from the legendary Roland CR-78. Each drum has a slider that changes the drum’s complexity within one of the 30+ preset patterns, which already allows hundreds of variations on any given beat.
But wait! There’s more! Turning the Enthusiasm knob allows Beat Friend to add or subtract notes from the pattern as it sees fit, either keeping the pulse of the pattern or going completely off piste. It's like having an enthusiastic robot Labrador playing a 70's electronic drum kit just for you.
All the sounds are routed through a Triforce of digital and analogue effects, which...well, you just have to turn knobs to find out what they do. If you’ve ever wanted to base a track on a 7/8 samba through a bit-and sample crusher, then this is the unit for you.
And, sure, if you’re a control freak who absolutely must design every bar, you can control the drums individually via MIDI. It even includes a letterpress-printed manual, numbered to match your unit.
Beat Friend plays in glorious mono and is powered by a universal 12V power supply (included in the box)."
"1987 Kawai K5, tested in great working condition. Includes AC power cable.
61-key, 16-voice polyphonic, 15-part multitimbral digital synthesizer that uses additive synthesis, rather than the more common subtractive synthesis. It is known for complex, unique sounds, particularly pads and digital textures, achieved by manipulating 63 harmonics for each of its two sound sources."
"I've spent months building a full 128-patch sound bank for the *Sequential FOURM*, and this is your chance to hear it in action.
The bank includes 50 bass tones (covering everything from deep analogue subs to punchy, cutting leads), classic Prophet-5 patches, and a wide range of sounds designed to be genuinely usable in a mix straight out of the box.
The FOURM isn't trying to be a Prophet-5 or a Pro-One — and that's the point. It can go places those synths simply can't.
All patches are demonstrated dry and some with a simple reverb or chorus to demonstrate what it would sound like in a mix. So what you hear is the real character of the synth.
Download the pack and add your own reverb, delay, or chorus and they open up even further.
✅ Mix-ready sounds designed for real music production
✅ 50 bass tones + leads, pads, keys & classic analogue voices
✅ Prophet-5 inspired patches reimagined for the FOURM
✅ In sysex and SoundTower formats
✅ Full 128-patch bank — one complete sound library"
"The Novation Ultranova is one underrated synth. On one hand, they're kind of "old news," but they are cheap, and full of great sounds. The overall sound of the Ultranova reminds me of something like the Korg Radias, but these fetch much lower prices than the Radias does. Editing sounds is fairly intuitive despite the interface. Definitely worth checking out if you come across one. I use one in my live rig, since it's something easy to replace if needed, it weighs nothing, and there are plenty of them out there."
"Our good friend The Unperson returns to the Signal Sounds channel to put the Sequential Fourm through its paces.
Fourm offers the classic sound and quality of Sequential at an unprecedented price point. Drawing on some of the best synths of all time, this compact analogue powerhouse boasts some fantastic features like poly aftertouch and a flexible arpeggiator/sequencer.
Click CC for subtitles at the bottom of the player once the video starts.
Video descpription in Googlish:
Instead of a traditional review of the Sequential Fourm, we decided to take a different approach: putting it to work on a specific track. And not just any track: "Fade to Grey" by Visage—an absolute classic of 1980s British synth-pop. Every melodic and accompanying track you’re about to hear was created exclusively using the Fourm, starting from factory sounds (drawn from the approximately 300 initial presets) with only minimal tweaks. The only element not provided by the synth is the drums: an AI-generated Roland CR-78-style pattern, occasionally reinforced with a kick and snare from Logic’s sound library.
Along the way, Pablo demonstrates how to truly harness the power of a modern polyphonic analog synthesizer: polyphonic aftertouch (key for the lead vocal line, where some notes come alive while others fade out completely), intense mixer feedback (ranging from subtle thickening to nonlinear behavior with "ghost" harmonics), audio-rate filter modulation from Oscillator 2 (adding anything from brightness and vocal-like character to total sonic breakdown, depending on the intensity), glide for creating transition sweeps, and the LFO in random mode feeding the filter to ensure every note sounds unique.
We also cover specific recording techniques: layering basslines via MIDI using two different sounds and panning them; doubling hand-played pads so that the two takes aren't identical; and recording a MIDI pattern to free up both hands, allowing you to perform real-time timbral tweaks—adjusting the filter, resonance, and modulation intensity—during the actual audio recording.
📝 A quick refresher on the Fourm: a compact 4-voice analog synthesizer featuring two VCOs per voice, a 4-pole low-pass filter derived from the Prophet-5, one global LFO, two ADSR envelopes, a mixer with feedback capabilities, no internal effects, a mono output, a 37-key "slim" Tactive keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch, and a modulation matrix—inherited from the Pro-1—that is directly accessible right on the front panel. 00:00 Original vs. Fourm Version 00:24 Intro 01:35 Fourm Features 03:34 Polyphonic Aftertouch 04:57 "Fade to Grey" Intro 07:07 Bass 08:34 Chords 10:17 Sweep 12:32 Melody 18:50 "Clavi" Sound 19:34 Drums 20:39 Full "Fade to Grey" Version

Melbourne Instruments brings Braids engine to desktop NINA analogue polysynth
“NINA has always been an absolute powerhouse of a synth, but this update is insane; OSC 3 gives you 45 Braids macros across 12 voices, plus its massive mod matrix — the range of sounds and textures you can create now knows no bounds.”
- Musician/sound designer PROTOVOLT, 2026
MELBOURNE, VIC, AUSTRALIA: Melbourne Instruments is proud to bring Mutable Instruments’ Braids engine — Emilie Gillet’s celebrated open-source macro oscillator — to its desktop NINA analogue polysynth, as of April 30…
Available as a free firmware update, all 45 Braids synthesis models run across NINA’s 12 true polyphonic voices, each shaped by a dedicated overdrive-able analogue filter. Ultimately, users can now layer Braids and analogue VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) across four multitimbral parts, morph between presets, and sequence everything.
Duly described by Mutable Instruments as a macro oscillator, Braids was a mono Eurorack module: one voice, no internal filter, and no modulation routing. It is now something else entirely on NINA, itself described as the world’s first motorised polysynth. Put it this way: when switching layers, the motorised knobs snap to new positions; morph between patches and they sweep in real time. Meanwhile, modulation routings are all visible on the panel from the moment they are selected. Surely Braids has never been this hands-on.
Digging deeper, each waveform model is shaped by two expressive parameters — Timbre and Color — adapted from the original Braids module. More meaningfully, these controls affect multiple tonal dimensions simultaneously, producing complex, evolving, and musically responsive sounds. Spanning analogue VCO emulation, vowel and formant synthesis, 2-operator FM, physical modelling of strings and wind instruments, wavetable synthesis with smooth interpolation, granular synthesis, and electronic drum simulation, the 45 models evidently elevate NINA to a new level, further cementing itself as a premium analogue polysynth powerhouse for experimental, generative, analogue, and digital synthesis.
Says musician/sound designer James Terris, ending on a high note: “I’ve always described NINA as a beautiful beast — analogue oscillators paired with its super-fat and driven analogue filter make it beastly! But while the existing wavetable oscillator adds a crystal sheen that provides a beauty, the new macro oscillator models expand this tremendously. Indeed, it can go from delicate FM, Karplus-Strong, and even vocal formant textures straight into swarming, stacked super-waves. With this update, it feels like an instant NINA ‘MK-2’!”
Excluding taxes applicable to the territory concerned, NINA is presently priced at $3,299.00 USD in North America; €3,165.00 EUR in the EU; £2,835.00 GBP in the UK; and $3,499.00 USD in Japan, while it is presently priced in Australia at $4,995.00 AU, including GST (Goods and Services Tax) — all via Melbourne Instruments’ growing global network of dealers.
