Introducing Plinky 12 Blocks, Chords and Toadstep
video upload by Making Sound Machines
Additional videos below.
"We are super excited to introduce 3 new instruments today! Plinky 12 is a family of expressive polyphonic touch synthesizers. The three instruments are built around a shared synth engine. Designed by mmalex, it evokes the unmistakable melancholic sounds of the original Plinky. https://plinky12.com
Each instrument is designed in collaboration with a different synth maker, lending each panel a distinct playability and unique character.
Plinky 12 Chords is a harmonic inspiration machine. It lets you improvise melodies and chords, with expressive control over voicings, progressions, and immediate musical play. Created by Making Sound Machines, Chords is the panel for finding beautiful harmonic movement quickly.
Plinky 12 Toadstep is a 4-track step sequencer built for super funky riffs, experimental self-generative melodies, and good ol' Acid. Created by Toadstool Tech, the designer behind the Ectocore Eurorack module, Toadstep is fun, immediate and easy to jam with!
Plinky 12 Blocks is an open panel built for experimentation, with monome-grid compatibility, Plinky style touch synthesis, and a browser-based coding environment just a click away. While it comes with a fully playable design out of the gate, creator mmalex invites you to build your own adventure with this panel. If you can imagine it, you can make it!
In this video, Enrica and Roland from Making Sound Machines explore the three new Plinky 12 instruments: Blocks, Chords and Toadstep from left to right.
The track builds on a repeating loop created with the built-in sequencer on Plinky 12 Toadstep. The short sequence uses rhythmic step repeats, track step length and animated synth parameters to create an ostinato that keeps sonically evolving over the length of the track.
As the piece continues, Roland plays a progression of harmonies from the rainbow chord palette on Plinky 12 Chords, before launching a sequence that reharmonizes the loop heard from Toadstep. Enrica joins in playing sparkling arpeggios with her fingertips on Plinky 12 Blocks, the surface with the sunset colour-fade print.
As the track progresses, Roland plays a melodic line on Chords, then Enrica takes over with a melody on blocks. The Plinky 12 polyphonic play surface reads both play position and pressure of the touch. It enables bends and glides on the horizontal axis, while allowing for discrete arps in the vertical direction.
They end the piece with a tempo transition showcasing the septuplet feature on the internal sequencer."

Animal Factory Dirty Mirror × Korg Monologue // Fuzz Synth Jam (No Talking)
video upload by Animal Factory Amplification
"Use headphones for this one! Animal Factory Dirty Mirror dual parallel fuzz pedal running a Korg Monologue analog synth — no talking, no post-processing, just raw tone. This was recorded in one take to bring out how the Dirty Mirror becomes an instrument in itself.
A love letter to shoegaze, noise, and harsh textures, the Dirty Mirror pairs a modified Shin-Ei Superfuzz (the "Burn" channel) with a heavily modded Big Muff Pi (the "Churn" channel), plus a pre-fuzz delay modulated by an internal LFO and envelope follower. Hand-built in Mumbai by Animal Factory Amplification and debuted at Superbooth 2025.
Here it's sculpting the Korg Monologue's aggressive analog voice into fuzzscapes, drones, seasick vibrato, and pitch-shifted square-wave chaos. Recorded dry — no EQ, no reverb, nothing but the pedal and the synth. Drums from an MFB Tanzmaus (not processed)

Animal Factory Dirty Mirror Fuzz on MFB Tanzmaus | Dual Distortion Delay Jam
video upload by Animal Factory Amplification
"Use headphones or speakers with good bass! Dual fuzz chaos meets beat-driven synthesis! Watch the Animal Factory Dirty Mirror transform the MFB Tanzmaus drum machine with creative distortion and delay manipulation. This is pure experimentation—no tutorial, just sonic exploration.
Gear featured:
Animal Factory Dirty Mirror Dual Fuzz Pedal
MFB Tanzmaus Drum Machine
Not just a shoegaze and noise rock machine - the Dirty Mirror is the perfect fuzz for musicians exploring wall-of-fuzz sounds, experimental synthesis, drum machine effects processing, and unconventional gear combinations."
"The Dirty Mirror takes these two behemoths of sonic perversion and adds an extra layer of nasty – using the core circuit of our Coma Reactor Eurorack module.
This three footswitch, 15 knob pedal looks complicated – but it’s not:
The BURN Channel (left side) is based on our Chemical Burn circuit, a nastier FY-6 variant.
The CHURN channel (right side) is based on a heavily modded Big Muff Pi.
There is a short delay circuit before the fuzz circuits.
Both the fuzz circuits can switch between the input sound, 100% wet delayed sound or a blend of wet and dry.
The fuzz circuits are then mixed in parallel into a high-headroom output section.
For added sickness, the delay time can be modified by an envelope follower or LFO.
Choose your filthy reflection – from straight dual parallel fuzz textures, to seasick vibrato to long slow quasi-chorus phasey apocalyptica.
The delay can be used on its own for slapback, chorus and vibrato effects.
Yes, it can get very noisy.
No, you can’t do anything about it - so weep in pain and pleasure, and submit to the swarms of square waves that joyfully fill your room."

FREE SYNTH: NILS' KAWAI K1v (Kawai K1 Emulator) - No talking demo
video upload by ADL-MusicLab
"Hello everyone!
Here's to you my "No talking demo" of this FREE emulation of the Kawai K1 synthesizer developed by Nils Schneider, which brings back to life this iconic synthesizer!
The Kawai K1 is a famous japanese classic from 1988 and it was a massive success with both the critics and the public. The company managed to reportedly shift around 50,000 of them. There also was a rackmount version (K1r) and a tabletop option (K1m).
The key to its popularity was certainly down to its sound, which combined single-cycle additive waves with PCM samples. There was another reason though: in the late 80's this D-50-style sample synthesis was out of reach of most musicians, but then the Kawai K1 came along and it was much cheaper than the Roland D-50!
Now you can have it in your DAW with this amazing FREE software emulation!

"Sound bank notes
In my opinion, the Murmux Adept is a modern classic among synthesizers. It oozes quality and depth with a vintage analog sound and a strong personality. The oscillators, filters and analog stereo bucket brigade delay (BBD) interact to create a rich palette of timbres, with an inclination towards dark ambient textures.
It excels at ambient pads, textures and atmospheres so I have exploited this in many of my patches. I have also created more conventional sounds such as strings and brass which sing with power and majesty – rivalling those of the Sequential Prophet 5. Lead sounds are another strength of the Murmux, so you will find many within the bank ranging from pure triangles and sines through to aggressive and expressive saws.
Although the Murmux looks like a very simple synth - lacking complex features like a modulation matrix, in fact it is possible to create many layers of modulation simultaneously. You can for instance, assign velocity (how hard you press the keys) to modulate envelope times while also morphing between waveforms in both oscillators and using aftertouch to control filter cutoff and resonance. In this sound bank I have used modulation comprehensively and all patches have parameters assigned to the mod wheel as well as aftertouch and/ or velocity to maximise the expressiveness of the sounds.
The delay is a big feature of this synth so I have used it a lot, although you will also find traditional analog synth patches with no effects at all. The BBD resonator and ensemble modes are powerful, yet I have tended to use them for subtle modulation to thicken sounds or to create gentle flanging.

TEAR - Experimental jam #31 // Vhikk X, Moog Subharmonicon, Bitbox
video upload by David Falcon
"Testing this battery powered mobile setup. The Palette case can be powered via powerbank and with the Bitbox micro I can record within the Modular case itself, without the need of any other equipment. The idea behind it is to take it outside to some special places to record, and maybe add some field recordings in the background.
I finally got to try the Vhikk X after a while trying to get one. The first few hours with it I was not very inspired by it, but kept digging and found this small melody that felt pretty emotional. Ironically the drone bass did not come from the Vhikk, but instead from my favorite, the Subharmonicon.
The Bitbox is here because it can do a lot in such small footprint. It is a sampler in the classic sense, but also is acting as a pseudo-Radio Music module with a radio sample I found, and also is recording the whole piece directly like the 4ms Wav Recorder.
In Ableton I added later on a bit of compression and EQ to even out the sounds.
I have published the first ALBUM that is acompilation of songs, some from this year and some older called "Hipotese". It is available in the streaming platforms and bandcamp. Go check it out!

Moog Subharmonicon - Drone Bass, modulated from Pam's New Workout
Forge TME Vhikk X - Melody, sequenced from Oxi One and processed with a LPG in the Disting mk4.
1010 Music Bitbox Micro - Synth, piano and radio samples. Records the whole mix that comes out from the Befaco Output Bus. This is what makes the setup truly portable."

Playing with Parting - Old Blood Noise Endeavors & Emily Hopkins
video upload by Molten Music Technology
"Running a simple bass line through the stunning Parting glitch/ambient machine and exploring the sounds. It's a very touchy feely pedal that's wasted on guitarists and really should be a Eurorack module. Full review coming soon from a synth perspective.
I bought this pedal myself."


"Parting is a box of pleasant surprises. Moments of chance will give bursts of a glitch delay that can smear into a reverb, modulated by tremolo or vibrato, filtered, and, most importantly, dissolved into lofi aliasing or stretched out reverse. All of this may jump around in halves and octaves of itself - it’s up to you and Parting, together.
Controls
Dissolve has two functions. Below noon, it reduces sample rate, creating an increasingly degraded version of the signal. Above noon, it reverses the signal, and repeatedly cuts the reverse clock in half as the knob is turned, creating an increasingly long and degraded reverse.
Rate sets the rate of the modulation LFO, which is also the frequency of triggers for moments of chance.
Depth sets the depth of the LFO.
Shape sets the LFO shape: Sine, Square, Reverse Saw, Saw, Random Sine, Random Square, Envelope
Chance allows random bits of signal to enter the delay/reverb buffer during an LFO cycle.
Smear adds diffusion and feedback to the delay lines, turning them into a lush reverb as the knob is turned up.
Glitch creates various clock subdivisions.
Time sets the timing of the delay/reverb, as well as the reverse.
Filter sets the cutoff point of the post-dissolve filter.
Mix sets the blend of dry and wet signal.
Aux switch for tap tempo, half speed, or preset switching.
Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise"

SYNTH-WERK SW 735 MK II BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER
video upload by SYNTH-WERK
"The model 735 Mark II is, like its predecessor, the model 735, a most sophisticated and powerful signal processor. In some of its typical applications it can change known sounds with a harmonic overtone structure into new sounds with an entirely different and new arrangement of overtones through additive and subtractive frequency shift. It thus contrasts with and complements the known pitch changers (such as the HARMONIZER), which operate with multiplicative frequency shift.
At the MIX output jacks, a mixture of the OUT A and OUT B signals is obtained, which in the center position of the MIX control is that of a ring modulator.
'...I remember my father telling me that he had completed building his new Bode Frequency Shifter Mark II. This was the unit he built for himself, for his own studio. Soon after, Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk came to visit my father at his home and studio. The Bode family were all big fans and collectors of Kraftwerk music. My father was happy for Florian's visit. He was not planning to sell and part with his new Frequency Shifter. It was a nice visit. He told me, a happy Florian Schneider left with the Bode Frequency Shifter Mark II under his arm.'

"A musical exploration of sounds and timbres featuring custom-created patches.
I think the Murmux Adept is a modern classic among analog poly synths, even though it was released as a limited edition in 2024 and is only attainable on the used market. It oozes quality and depth with a vintage analog sound and a strong personality. The oscillators, filters and analog stereo bucket brigade delay (BBD) interact to create a rich palette of timbres, with an inclination towards dark ambient textures."
"All sounds in this video are individual patches played straight from the synth except for ‘Alhaqueca’ and ‘Ambient layers’ which are layered tracks. No external enhancement or processing was applied to the sounds except on the track ‘Alhaqueca’ where I used a software delay plugin and a little compression and EQ when mastering."
