Electronica w/ Twisted Rhythms and Reversed Loops | Every single moment 2026-09-26 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece built from twisting rhythm patterns and tightly repeating loops.

This piece was created with the volca fm2, TR-08, and OP-1 field.

On the volca fm2, two patterns are switched during playback while the NIGHTSKY adds filtering and reverb.

On the OP-1 field, a short-decay sequence is looped using the ENDLESS sequencer. A loop recorded with the MICROCOSM PHRASE LOOPER is layered over it while being played back in reverse.

On the TR-08, a rhythm pattern is played while the MOOD MKII applies pitch shifting.

NerDie 8-bit Engine — OUT NOW!! (no talking video)

video upload by Diego Capoccitti

"OUT NOW!! NerDie, played from start to finish.

NerDie is an 8-bit noise synthesizer and sequencer. Four oscillators, four LFOs, a summing tree with eight algorithms, a resonant low-pass filter and a one-bar sequencer. The whole engine runs in whole numbers at a fixed chip rate, so the overflow, the wrap and the quantisation you hear are not effects added at the end: they are the signal itself.

It runs as a plugin on Mac and Windows, and as an app on iPad and iPhone. Presets (.ner files) are the same on both, so a patch saved on the iPad opens in the plugin, and the other way round.

SISKworks Cassettone modified tape instrument - Knobcon 2026

video upload by sonicstate

"Mike from SISKworks showed us the Modified Tape Player Prototype, a motor-controlled cassette instrument developed from his earlier "poor man's Mellotron" idea.

He explained that the original version uses one continuous tape loop with a constant tone. Five buttons trigger playback, and each button has a knob that tunes motor speed for a different pitch. The newer prototype keeps that five-key approach and adds a Daisy microprocessor for delay, reverb, filter, harmonizer and reverse grain effects.

The control knobs adjust the last effect engaged, and the filter can self-oscillate slightly. The unit also includes a step sequencer with normal, reverse, bounce and random directions. Steps can be switched on or off, and tempo, length, glide and swing are adjustable. A hold mode latches the last key for drone use.

The prototype includes gate, CV and clock inputs, and it is planned for 1V/oct tuning. It can use tape loops or full-length cassettes, but it does not record to tape. Pricing is not set, and the final version is likely to be desktop rather than Eurorack.

Introducing Haas Zone Processor

video upload by Verbos Electronics GmbH

"Introducing Haas Zone Processor. In stores now.

Video by: ‪@coquinati_music‬

In 1951 Helmut Haas wrote the paper On the Influence of a Single Echo on the Intelligibility of Speech, describing the psychoacoustic effects of delay on sounds. Since the paper describes short delays, “The Haas Effect” generally refers to delays shorter than 50mS. The Haas Zone Processor enables the effects in this range, including chorus, flange, phase cancellation, doubling, ADT, waveshaping and others.

At the core is a multi-tapped digital Delay Bank largely influenced by vintage studio processors including the Marshall Time Modulator. Tap1 can be switched and swept from less than 1mS up to 20mS. Tap2 is chained from the output of Tap1, adding an additional 1mS-20mS. Tap3 ranges from 9-42mS. In addition to having their own full volume outputs, all 3 delay taps can be blended with the Dry input signal in a voltage controlled mixer.

Also included is a Bandpass filter built from a 2 pole hipass followed by a 2 pole lowpass. Bandwidth can be swept from very narrow all the way to full bandwidth. Frequency can be swept across the full audio range and voltage controlled through a bipolar attenuator.

To the left is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator, similar to the modulation side of a Complex Oscillator. Included is a Triangle, Square and Sawtooth wave that range from 0-10v. The Frequency can sweep from more than 1 minute per cycle all the way up to audio range and tracks volt/octave.
There is an envelope Follower on the input and both it and the triangle output from the Oscillator are normalled to the c.v. inputs on the Delay Time. The output of Tap3 is normalled to the input of the Bandpass filter and the output of the Bandpass filter is normalled to the Feedback In. Through tweaking the Delay Time, Oscillator Frequency and Bandpass Frequency multiple resonance points can be accentuated. The Haas Zone Processor is intended to be used as an effect, inside a patch as waveshaper or as a voice on its own."

Dawless Jam: Groovesizer Mynah x M-Vave FM-1

video upload by MoShang

"Here's a jam I recorded with the M-Vave FM-1 being driven by a Groovesizer Mynah sampler. The Mynah is playing drums and loops, and MIDI from the Mynah is triggering the arpeggios on the FM-1. I did this in one take, playing sustained lines over the arpeggios on the FM-1. I used the stock patches (020 SYN PAD 5 and 019 SYN LEAN 5). I couldn't find a good way to automate the patch changes, so I picked these adjacent patches and switched by hand."

7/31/26 (new config) ElectroComp EML 400/401 + CXM 1978 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"This is the new setup of the ElectroComp EML 400/401, with the 400 above the 401. This was actually a test of some stabilizing zip ties. The oscillators are drifting a bit since moving the 400 and I suspect it’s because the cable was switched to the left connector on the 400. Hopefully that’s just some dust. The reverb is from the Alesis MIDIVERB II and the pitchy grainy delay is blended on the CXM 1978."

"The DriftLog from Teia Synthesizers is a dual-channel random voltage generator designed to generate, capture, and reshape random voltages in real time. he two channels—A and B—produce independent voltages, but share a set of shaping controls, namely Slope for morphing between stepped and smooth voltages and Shape for sculpting the curvature of the voltages. There's also a 3-position switch that changes the range of the Shape control from Arc to Peak, Exponential rise to exponential fall, and Bezier ease in to ease out. Each channel can be switched into Loop mode, which allows it to record and replay a selectable portion of its random history using dedicated Start and Length controls.

The most powerful performance MUTE modules for Eurorack: NO BPM Mute Performer Demo

video upload by mylarmelodies

"The great NO BPM hired me to make a demo to explain their Mute Performer system - Mute Performer is arguably the most feature-complete muting system in Eurorack, as it can mute AND mix triggers, audio (clicklessly) and CV, and it can send MIDI to mute external devices too. And you can have up to 72 channels, and you can CLOCK the mutes, so they happen on the beat (or at the start of bars...). And it has scenes, so you can prepare and recall mute groups. And it has several ways of muting and cueing mutes. It's quite a thing."

CHAPTERS:
00:00 What it is and can do
02:21 Clocked Mutes!
03:10 Cueing Mutes
05:00 Mixing Signals
07:10 Mute Scenes
10:13 Solo Mutes

The Mute Performer takes the humble mute function into new and exciting territory.

8 channels of Mutes can be cued, locked, inverted, switched, mixed, stereo-paired, expanded, and arranged into scenes. Scenes can be saved, loaded, banked, clocked, triggered and modulated.

The Mute Performer also supports MIDI, which can be transmitted using a provided 5-pin MIDI Type A to 3.5mm cable.

This allows you to connect external MIDI devices to the Mute Performer, enabling performative control of mutes both inside and out your case.

The Mute Performer alone has 8 channels, but can be expanded up to 72 channels with the Mute Expanders.

DUB PLEX | Make Noise

"A subterranean Plexiphon patch.

Plus a visual score by Bruce Magill, realized sonically by Norman Freund!

More info about Norman's performance below:

SoundCloud: / landscape-graphic-score
BandCamp: https://normanfreund.bandcamp.com/tra...

Description:
Late 2025 Walker Farrell from MakeNoise started an international music challenge for musicians to participate in, submit your own Graphic Score, then at the draw of a hat, you would be assigned someone else's score to interpret and create music from. I am always interested in music challenges and the more off-beat the better.

Late December 2025 names were drawn at random, Walker constructed a collection of MakeNoise modular synthesis cards to generate random numbers to set who gets what score. I was allocated a topographical map from Bruce Magill that contained some text notes and penciled in graphics. Bruce had a musical concept in mind for this score but did say "Notes for this graphic score are only a suggestion. You can disregard them and interpret this score in any way you like, if you wish. ... Don't overthink." So I did have free reign to interpret the score as I wished, so I could let my imagination run wild. In my younger years I did a lot of wilderness hiking so was and still am, quite familiar with topographic maps, so for me this was the perfect score, something I could relate to and understood. As a side note, there is no right answer for interpreting a graphic score, so understanding is not an essential ingredient, however a vivid imagination is. It is a bit like laying on the grass and looking up at the clouds -- what do you see beyond back scattered light from suspended vapours in the sky.

Stupidly useful, simple & small // Low Fat VCF from AJH Synth

video upload by DivKid

"Here's a fun one and something stupidly simple, really easy to use, small, affordable but way more useful than you might think. It's the Low Fat VCF from AJH Synth, which is a 2HP non resonant (it's supppppeeeer smooth) high pass filter.

I think my favourite thing is using it to pair with low pass filters and to make a variable width band pass filter. It's also nice as a simple "clean up the mix" tool, as a pseudo spectral sidechain, multiband ducking style device or just for performance sweeping low end out of things."

"The Low Fat filter packs a switchable 6dB and 12dB slope High Pass Voltage controlled Filter into a miniscule 2HP of rack space, with a very low power consumption of less than 12mA per rail.

Sometimes there is just too much bottom end in a patch and it swamps everything else, by feeding it through the Low Fat Filter we can remove some of this bottom end to balance things up.

It also makes a great companion to the MiniMod Transistor Ladder Filter and can be placed before or after this in a patch to create a Band Pass filter with a variable passband and a choice of a softly rolling 6dB slope or a stronger 12 dB slope.

It's a great way to populate one of those frustrating gaps in your eurorack modular case with something that is deceptively usefuI.

In Depth

The LOW FAT is a new 2hp Eurorack module by AJH Synth, it's a High Pass filter, with frequency control by either manual pot, and/or external CV with attenuator. It's intended to compliment other filters, particularly low pass VCF modules, in practical tasks such as removing excessive low frequencies, for example when the bass is swamping a mix. It can be switched between 6dB (1 pole) response and 12dB (2 pole) response.

By patching a CV signal to the FCV input it can be voltage-controlled and used musically as with any other VCF. When used in conjunction with a LP filter it forms a fully customisable band pass filter, allowing the range of passbands to be cherry-picked. Feeding in a 1V/Oct pitch CV and setting the FCV pot to a suitable level allows it to track an incoming pitch CV, so the amount of High Pass filtering remains constant as the pitch of the incoming VCOs traverse up and down the frequency range. This can be particularly useful in creating percussive sounds, such as snares and hats, but also on sequenced bass lines. Since it is only 2HP it's a great way to occupy one of those frustrating gaps in your eurorack modular case with something that is deceptively useful, and adds another dimension to the classic bass monster that is the Transistor Ladder Filter."

Did Moog ruin synths? Suzanne Ciani reveals analog's original sin.

video upload by SpectreVision Radio and Phantom Power Podcast

"Today we talk to modular synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani and MIT Spatial Sound Lab researcher Kamran V. Suzanne and Kamran both love quadraphonic sound, and they have a new quad release coming out on June 4th called Ciani/Orkest. They are on a mission to make quadraphonic music accessible to both musicians and to listeners, and in this interview, Kamran will explain how, you, with no special equipment, can listen to their new album in quad.
We'll also get into how analog synthesizers actually work, the early history of Buchla synths versus Moog synths, why Suzanne thinks keyboards diminish the potential of synths, and how Suzanne designed some of the most recognizable sounds of the 1980s.
Suzanne Ciani is a Grammy Award nominated composer, electronic musician, and neoclassical recording artist who has released over 20 solo albums, including Seven Waves and The Velocity of Love. Her work has been featured in Hollywood films, video games, and countless commercials. She was inducted into the first class of keyboard magazine's Hall of Fame, alongside Bob Moog, Don Buchla, and Dave Smith. And she was the subject of the feature documentary, A Life in Waves.
Kamran V is an arts technologist and MIT Spatial Sound Lab researcher, and he's a National Endowment for the Arts grant recipient. He's worked at Interscope Records, produced immersive music releases for Nine Inch Nails, Sting, and Beck, and he ran the music tech fest, Moogfest. He's also on the board of Dub Lab.

FILTER FM (STYLOPHONE PATCHBOOK 2.0) - CPM DS-2 ANALOG DRONE SYNTH

video upload by Stylophone

"CPM DS-2 ANALOG DRONE SYNTH
The FILTER FM patch works by moving Drone 1’s cutoff around at audio rate.
Start by turning down Drone 1 so we can just hear Drone 2.

Pitch Link is switched on, and the pitch is set to the middle. This means any changes to the pitch in Drone 1 will also be matched in Drone 2.

The output is set to a saw wave, and we’ve got the LFO linked to pitch, with the LFO depth turned up just slightly. This means the pitch will drift around a little bit.

Resonance is turned down and the cutoff is all the way open. This means we just get the raw output from Drone 2. Turn its volume all the way up, but plug in a patch cable — we’ll need this later.

Over on Drone 1, the pitch is set to 9 o’clock. We also have a saw wave selected, but the routing switch for the LFO is set to X-Wave. This stops it from affecting the pitch.

We’ve got the cutoff set to 12 o’clock and the resonance at 3, giving us quite a big resonant peak.

Now, when we plug the output of Drone 2 into the cutoff of Drone 1, the filter is going to get moved around at audio rate.

For a more extreme sound, try turning up the pitch LFO on Drone 2.

Also, add a bit of reverb.

midiphy zetaSID: bassline engine (new firmware v1.5)

video upload by midiphy

"Introducing bassline engine: integrated, stereo-linked 303-style sequencing for zetaSID. Two modules on bass, two on percussion, some external FX in the chain.

What's in the patch:
two zetaSIDs linked via phybus carry the stereo bassline
patterns are switched live from the user interface. Sync To Measure stays active, so every pattern change lands cleanly on the next bar. The zetaSIDs stay step-locked across the polychain throughout
the joystick is spliced into LFO1 for hands-on modulation in real time
the fader is spliced into filter cutoff and forwarded to all zetaSIDs: live SID filter sweeps, no menus
two more zetaSIDs run the drums, triggered by gates from the modular, no MIDI used

What's new in firmware v1.5:
zetaSID bassline engine: 303-style 16-step sequencer, eight patterns per channel, per-step note / octave / gate / slide / accent / one freely assignable parameter, two LFOs and an additional envelope with curvature
three new input sockets per module: SEQ STEP, SEQ RESET, SEQ PATTERN. Splice them through phybus and your modular drives the sequencer directly with clocks, sequence reset triggers and pattern select CVs
pair two zetaSIDs over phybus for a true stereo bassline patch that stays step-locked
non-bassline feature: individual instrument attenuation for drum engine
non-bassline feature: 180° screen rotation support (mount your zetas upside-down, if you want :-))

FORMANTA EMS-01 - Ode To Devotion (Live)

video upload by LFOstore

"This composition played live by Nick Klimenko on recently restored & tuned flagship of soviet synthesizers - Formanta EMS-01.

Its very hard to tune OSC sections & there are not so many fully working & tuned units in the world!
Thanks to / @ДмитрийБоровских-ш7п for midifying & tuning work!

Working unit sounding ultra mega magnificent!

FORMANTA EMS-01 is an electronical music instrument combining a polyphonic organ and a monophonic synthesizer. It is designed to perform music of all genres and to create various sound effects while recording soundtracks for movies and plays, or studio recording. The organ has a 5-octave keyboard, 6 preset sound timbres, frequency vibrato with adjustable vibrato delay, decay adjustment and a stereophaser (both for organ and synthesizer). The "vibrato delay" scheme is activated again only after all the previously pressed keys are released. In the "legato" mode the "vibrato delay" scheme is not activated.

The synthesizer has:

3-octave keyboard;
modulator, modulation voltage from which is applied to frequency modulator, width modulator, filter, and amplifier; broad band oscillators 1 and 2 (with various waveforms);
mixer, designed for summation of signals from oscillators 1 and 2, noise generator, external source, and ring modulator; filter, designed for dynamic and static changing of the spectrum of summarized signal from mixer output;
amplifier, designed for making the sound corresponding to various parameters of the envelope;
Visual division of the synthesizer panel into the above listed sections and their lay-out make it more easy to orientate oneself while setting the required timbre. Besides, the synthesizer is able to simultaneously control one more similar synthesizer through a special cable and connectors CONTR IN and CONTR OUT.

The instrument provides the opportunity of connecting stereo headphones; the volume in headphones doesn't change in case of changing the volume of the instrument from zero to maximum at all the outputs of the instrument with the foot pedal; thanks to this, preliminary control of timbre through the headphones before applying it to amplifiers is possible. By switching on PHASER into the channel of organ or synthesizer, it is possible to get stereo sound in the outputs STEREO L and STEREO P. In case PHASER is switched off, both channels will function in MONO mode."

Probability-based Transposing with PRECISION VOLTAGES, CHANCE DELAY & a Step Sequencer #eurorack

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"A sequencer patch using PRECISION VOLTAGES and CHANCE DELAY modules for probability-based transposing of steps. Also featuring sound from a single VCO and the SONIC XV filter & wave folder.

Video & Performance by @DreamsOfWires

PATCH BREAKDOWN:
A Doepfer Mini Sequencer is playing a simple 5-step sequence. The clock is from the DUAL LFO + VCA module, which is also triggering an DH-ADSR envelope generator (connected to audio VCA), and the SAMPLE HOLD & SLEW module.

Because the sequencer gates aren't being used to trigger the envelope generator, I can use them elsewhere, and on the Mini Sequencer they can be turned off per step, so instead I am sending these gates to the PRECISION VOLTAGES (Gate A). This means that whenever a gate signal is received, Precision Voltages will activate, shifting the pitch of connected VCOs by the selected amount.

To add variety to this, I am first running the gates through the CHANCE DELAY, with which I can adjust the chance/probability of the gates being passed through to the Precision Voltages, or ignored. This means that the transposed notes will only randomly occur, based on the position of the 'Chance' pot, here at 50%.

Precision Voltages is dual channel (A & B), but I'm using the combined A + B output, so that any semitone or octave changes that I make to channel B will be combined with those on channel A, which is the only channel being switched on or off by the incoming gates. This means I can transpose the whole sequence by the same selected semitone and octave values (here plus or minus 5 semitones) and still have the selected sequencer notes randomly transposing by the same interval.

As for the sound - just a single triangle wave into the SONIC XV Diode Ladder Filter, manually adding the wave folder to create a much more interesting timbre, and with the clocked SAMPLE HOLD & SLEW module randomly modulating the filter frequency, via the DUAL LFO\s built-in VCA, which is slowly modulating the level of the Sample and Hold from strong to nothing.

Mixed on a @solidstatelogic BigSix with @vermonagear DSR-3 Dual/Stereo (real) Spring Reverb. Both cases powered by the Konstant Lab StrongPWR, with small case using a Polyend Anywhere USB PSU, powered by the USB output of the StrongPWR. Clear acrylic Eurorack case by CASA Modular, Japan."
