"Redshift 6’s Demon Core Oscillator can create up to 16 analogue oscillators per voice. In this synth tweak we use the Demon Core Oscillators Stack feature to create a dense oscillator stack for a supersaw trance sound.
The stereo effect is created by modulating amplifiers panning with voice, so that each new note gets played on the opposite side of the stereo field.
The filter cutoff is modulated with slow LFO to create movement to the arpeggiator lines.
Effects in this demo are external effects. All variations from the theme start dry, and the amount of effect is shown in the video."

Supercritical announces availability of Redshift 6 as self-styled Variable Character Synthesizer representing its inaugural desktop instrument
TAMPERE, FINLAND: having opened eyes and ears with show-stopping showcases at SUPERBOOTH24, May 16-18, FEZ-Berlin, Germany and Machina Bristronica, October 12-13, Bristol, UK, Supercritical is proud to announce availability of its inaugural desktop instrument in Redshift 6 — self styled as a 6 voice Variable Character Synthesizer that combines technology from the budget travels in time and space-offering Finnish synthesizer manufacturer’s previous Demon Core Oscillator and Neutron Flux Filter products, each of its six voices featuring a DCO (Digitally-Controlled Oscillator) that can create up to 16 analogue oscillators per voice with analogue waveforms generated under digital control — as of December 16…
Supercritical’s self-styled 6 voice Variable Character Synthesizer wording — which is subtly featured on the front panel of the desktop instrument itself by way of optical reinforcement — effectively encapsulates the Redshift 6 concept. Consequently, the analogue path of each of its DEMON CORE OSCILLATOR-based six voices is under strict digital control in terms of tuning, gain staging, filtering, and more. Moreover, Redshift 6 has a lush- and warm-sounding sweet spot that is inspired by classic analogue polysynths, but it also runs the full gamut from almost digitally sterile and clean to distorted behaviour and beyond.
Digging deeper, the filter core is an analogue 4-pole VARIABLE CHARACTER FILTER that is also digitally controlled to act like almost any classic vintage synthesizer filter and more besides. But in addition to the oscillators and filters, Redshift 6 has all the features expected of a modern synth — think modulators aplenty, flexible voice routing, (six-part) multitimbrality, MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression), and (bypassable) stereo DSP (Digital Signal Processing) effects.
Elsewhere, Redshift 6’s six voices can be configured in a variety of ways — choose between true six-voice polyphony, classic vintage poly dual layer mode with 3+3 voices, six individual voices (each with their own patch and physical output), or any combination thereof. Those six voices can each also operate as a paraphonic voice with up to 16-note paraphony. And as if that is not enough to whet any serious synthesist’s appetite, multiple filters can be chained by routing audio from one voice to another.
Supercritical spent time — time that was well spent, clearly — realising Redshift 6’s physical form factor as a modern, compact — 378 mm (W) x 254 mm (D) x 63 mm (H) — desktop device with a 2.7-inch TFT (Thin Film Transistor) IPS (In-Plane Switching) colour screen surrounded by eight endless clickable potentiometers. Thanks to quick navigation via the shortcut button grid, menu diving is kept to a minimum, while a selection of familiar synth controls — DCO, VCF (Voltage-Controlled Filter), and AMP (amplifier), to name but the basics — are featured throughout the front panel. Put it this way: assigning modulations is equally easy and speedy with the modulation grid providing access to modulation source parameters, and all the assigned modulations can be edited via the MOD MATRIX. Meanwhile, a MACRO mode with six user-assignable buttons is included.
It is fair to say that Redshift 6’s slimline back panel packs in a lot of features for interacting with the outside world, including MAIN OUT (L and R) fed by the DSP effects, AUX OUT 1 (L and R), and AUX OUT 2 (L and R) — all on 6.3 mm jacks, alongside a modern MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) implementation with DIN IN/OUT and USB-B connection — not forgetting, of course, the headphone output.
One of the major design considerations of Redshift 6 is to facilitate a versatile and capable analogue platform with a flexible UI (User Interface) for accommodating new engines, easily updatable via software. Since its oscillators can currently go from traditional twin oscillator to supersaw behaviours while living in perfect harmony with the multimode filter, as well as incorporating various different character profiles — and all this in user-friendly ways that are easily controllable and modulatable, the relatively diminutive desktop Redshift 6 is already punching above its weight. Weighing in at 3.5 kg in actual fact, an exciting future surely lies ahead for Supercritical’s inaugural desktop instrument.
Priced at £1,099 GBP (including VAT)/€1,259.00 EUR (including VAT)/$1,349.00 USD, Redshift 6 is available through Supercritical’s growing global network of distributors, as listed here: https://supercriticalsynthesizers.com/where-to-buy/"
"This video is a detailed walkthrough, demo and review of ToyBox Audio’s FM Zone. I go into many aspects which are not included in the manual, at least not at the time of release. FM Zone is an excellent ‘boutique’ FM synth for desktop and iPad, an runs both as a plugin and standalone. I really like it, and think it will appeal both to FM experts and people who don’t know much about FM or even subtractive synthesis. It is very accessible but you can also go super deep if you want to. It’s also very reasonably priced. It is based on 4-operator FM, but allows for use of lots of different waveforms so you can incorporate elements of physical modeling, ring mod, AM, additive synthesis and more. The envelopes combined with looping options for envelopes allow for mad sound design possibilities. It also has a massive collection of great sounding filter types. Links etc can be found below. Enjoy!"
"FM Zone is an easy-to-use polyphonic synthesiser plugin with sophisticated FM and sample engines and a bank of flexible multi-segment envelopes to shape the sound in any direction you desire. Perfect for huge FM basses and cutting leads
The synthesiser features two powerful engines that can be layered together for a variety of complex sounds and textures. The ‘Synth’ engine features a powerful FM engine with a variety of 'special' operator types (FM, supersaw, additive, physical modelling etc) for expressive, harmonically-rich timbres. The ‘Sample’ engine can be used to mix additional textures or attacks samples over the sound."
Knob-For-Knob Functionality We at Artium Instruments are committed to knob-for-knob functionality. Every feature of The Swarm is directly mapped to a knob, button, switch, or jack, ensuring effortless control. There's no need for menu-diving or complicated sequences of button presses to access features; everything is conveniently accessible at your fingertips. Curated, Onboard Effects With over a decade of experience in the effects industry, we have carefully curated a selection of effects that seamlessly complement the synth core. Unique to The Swarm is its capability to use the onboard effects with other equipment, allowing you to route external audio through the inputs on the back. Plug and Play Functionality The Swarm utilizes a USB-C MIDI host for simplicity and ease of use. Most modern class-compliant MIDI controllers with USB functionality should plug in and work immediately with zero setup. Additionally, The Swarm provides power to your controller, streamlining your setup process. For older controllers that only have DIN connections, a USB to DIN converter can be used to ensure compatibility. (These converters typically cost $10-20) Quality Craftsmanship, Intentional Design We've invested considerable thought into crafting the overall feel of the instrument. From the layout of the knobs to the choice of colors, artwork, and the weight of the enclosure, every detail has been considered. These details matter to us because we recognize that the connection a user forms with a piece of gear is almost as crucial in the creative process as the sounds it produces. We hope you can feel the love and passion we've poured into every aspect of The Swarm, from its sonic capabilities to its design aesthetics. Open Source Platform Artium desktop synths use an open source platform known as Axoloti or Ksoloti for development and implementation of its products. Click here for details on the open source platform being used.
SYNTH CORE
Oscillator The Swarm features a SuperSaw oscillator with 8-note polyphony. This oscillator is composed of seven individual saw waves stacked on top of each other. The magic unfolds when you detune the waveforms by applying a frequency offset, resulting in one of the most massive synth sounds available.
1. Bristronica 24: MyVolts The Silent Alchemist Nears Shipping
We caught up with Caroline who gave us the latest update to the *Silent Alchemist*, a versatile power hub designed for musicians. Featuring five isolated USB-C outputs and a high-wattage sixth output capable of delivering 100 watts, the device can power a Mac with the remaining outputs providing 20 watts each. Its independent circuits ensure noise-free operation, catering to a variety of devices including the Dreadbox module and Sysmo slope generator.
The Silent Alchemist uses innovative step-up power tips to convert USB-C input to the correct voltage for various devices. There's also new feature: an uninterruptible power supply allowing seamless transition between wall and power bank sources. Also introduced were updated cables, such as silver candy cords and floating ring TRS to TS cables, expanding connection flexibility. The Silent Alchemist is expected to be available in December with a competitive pricing strategy.
At Bristronica 2024, we caught up with the creator of the *ML2M*, who introduced us to the latest version. The ML2M is a compact Eurorack module with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing seamless synchronization with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and iOS music apps using Ableton Link without the need for cables. It either connects to an existing network or creates its own, ensuring robust sync even in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi. The module, which retains its 2HP size, now features MIDI integration through TRS jacks. Users can access a web interface to configure each output for different clock divisions and reset triggers, making setup straightforward and flexible.
Alongside the ML2M, there's also the Missing Link Junior. This desktop version offers the same functionality but in a box format, complete with MIDI and CV clock outputs. Both products are now accessible, with a starting price of $250.
At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Arran from @archaea_modular_synthesis who presented the *Exchange Module*. This programmable patcher, a year in the making, evolved from its early prototype stage to a fully functional module. Arran explained how the Exchange can route synth voices via a beam controller and three exchange modules installed within the skiff, allowing for versatile patching. Operating like a matrix patchbay, it enables users to select inputs and outputs with the push of a button, create presets, and chain multiple modules for synchronized patching.
Communication between the modules occurs over the Eurorack power bus as well as over MIDI via the USB-C connection. The Exchange maintains analog integrity, ensuring there’s no conversion latency. The forthcoming release expected in late November 2024, includes a USB-driven editor for enhanced control capabilities.
"Whether you like the sound or not: Understanding what Roland's engineers have done in the 1990s is interesting for every synthesizer user, mixing engineer or Trance & EDM-lover."
I believe this might be a rebranding of their Resonant EQ, previously featured here, and here. I'm not finding any mention of the EQ on their site, only the FB. Aside from the labelling, the modules look identicle.
"Timeline:
00:00 - Patch 1. Pico Voice in Supersaw mode through Resonant FB. Modulated with Octasource with EVENS hard panned to left and ODDS hard panned to the right therefore creating a stereo effect
01:02 - Patch 2. Black VCO II SAW through Resonant FB in Filter mode which is modulated with Octasource.
01:55 - Patch 3. Drumbreak sample through Resonant FB in Filter Bank mode modulated with Octasource and Modulator.
03:18 - Patch 4. No audio input. Resonant FB self oscillating and modulated with two LFOs from the Modulator.
03:59 - Patch 5. Sample played through Resonant FB in Filter Bank mode and modulated with Octasource and Modulator.
04:47 - Patch 6. Yocto 808 played through Resonant FB in Filter mode.
05:59 - Patch 7. No audio inoput. Resonant FB self oscillating with frequencies controlled via the expander."
"The Graphic Resonant Filterbank (FB) is a ten-band analogue filterbank with digital control over each bands’ boost or cut. Each band can be controlled individually via CV or manually, while complex control configurations turn the filterbank into an unconventional multimode filter and even an instrument in its own right when played with various resonance settings. The Expander module (works exclusively with the Graphic Resonant Filterbank and is available separately) provides hands-on adjustment of boost and cut for all bands.
The Expander module provides hands-on adjustment over all bands’ boost and cut without the need to select bands via pushbuttons on the Graphic Resonant Filterbank module. This makes sound design with the Graphic Resonant Filterbank much easier.
NB! The Expander works exclusively with the Graphic Resonant Filterbank!"

Trance Supersaw 90s-2000s for Waldorf Blofeld - is the most powerfull Trance collection of Supersaw sounds which you can get.
It took several months to get the best Supersaw's presets ever and crafted into famous Dance and Trance hits of the 90s and 2000s.
Multi-Patches were synthesized with special care, so that you would get instant results from them. These presets consist of single patches but have their own peculiarity, which could not be realized with only one layer. The demo song perfectly shows the combination of Single patches and Multi in one.
You also will receive amazing ARP sounds with a soul of 90s, Blade Runner style Pads with a Trance combination, pumping Basses, beautifull Synth & Keys.
"Oneiroi is Greek for 'dreams', or rather the mythological personification of entities that bring you dreams and nightmares. It's hard to compare it to any existing module, VST or hardware synth. There's a supporting VCO with a sinewave and a supersaw/wavetable generator, that can be detuned and set to an offset. There's a looper with a five second buffer. The looper is used to generate the waves in the wavetable, so it's more like a dynamic texture generator. The looper's window size can be set to milliseconds so it can become a wavetable itself with a buffer you can scan. All of this is under CV control.
A central modulation 'LFO' that can be mapped to any knob except itself and can provide chaotic movement, typical LFO shapes, S&H and envelope following. Finally there's an FX section with a filter, resonator, echo and a weird reverb with lots of character. The individual elements aren't revolutionary, but as a combo they will make a lot of dreams come true.
How about nightmares? Don't worry, all FX can self resonate and when you make the Looper record itself, you can tear the fabric of the universe apart.
But you'll need to deliberately choose its dark side. I will definitely do a 'nightmare machine' video too! But not today. Today it's just too good to be true.
Oneiroi has a lot of character and many different 'faces'. It will make excellent first impressions, but at some point it feels like watching Titanic for the 10th time. The euphoria wears out. This only means it's time to bring something new to the stereo input. Then the excellence and euphoria will return in full force. Sweet dreams are made of this."
