Serum Uplifting Basslines (Official Serum 2 Revamp) by NatLife
NatLife originally created the Uplifting Basslines series as an essential toolkit for Trance producers. Now, this iconic collection returns with a total sonic overhaul specifically for Serum 2. Get the professional middle-end drive your tracks deserve
About this Revamp
Furthermore, this isn't just a simple port; instead, it is a complete re-edition. I have meticulously re-painted and modified every single patch to harness the advanced power of the new Serum engine. Consequently, you get sounds that hit harder, cleaner, and deeper than ever before.
In modern Trance production, the middle-end defines the energy of your track. For this reason, I have handled the heavy lifting for you. I fine-tuned every waveform for maximum stability and utilized updated filter algorithms. Therefore, these 64 patches sit perfectly in a 138-140 BPM mix with minimal external processing.

4. GCS Spectral Synthesizer - Drawing Sound with the Harmonic Brush
"I'm very excited to release my new Spectral Synth, an additive synthesizer plugin that allows you to draw your own harmonics, clone sound timbres, play the harmonic content of images, and so much more.
In this rendered video, you can see an image being played in real time via a MIDI keyboard, hearing its unique harmonic content. At the end of the playback, while holding a chord, I draw some extra harmonics onto the spectrogram to show how you can evolve sounds on the fly.
Spectral Synth is designed to be both incredibly powerful and intuitive. Whether you want to meticulously craft a sound from scratch or generate complex textures with a single click, it has you covered.
Try it for free for ten days via our website!
Available on all plugin formats for both mac and windows.
www.gulfcoastsynthesis.com
KEY FEATURES:
Hybrid Sound Engine: A true hybrid synthesizer combining a powerful 32-partial additive engine with classic, band-limited analog waveforms (Saw, Square, Triangle) for ultimate flexibility.
Draw Your Sound: Use the brush tool to directly draw or erase harmonics and noise on the spectrogram. Adjust brush size and intensity for precise control.
Drag-and-Drop Synthesis: Simply drop any audio file (.wav, .aif, .flac) onto the screen to automatically clone its harmonic and noise profile, creating an instant starting point for new patches.
Image Synthesis: Drag and drop any image file (.png, .jpg) to translate its brightness into playable harmonics.
Generative Tools: Instantly create complex sonic textures with the "Generate Pattern function.
Partial Mixer: Take manual control over the volume of all 32 individual harmonics with a dedicated fader bank. Push faders above the midpoint to add baseline volume or pull them below to scale your drawn harmonics.
Harmonic Filtering: Isolate specific harmonics with "All," "Even," "Odd," and "Inharmonic" modes for unique timbral shaping.
MODULATION & PERFORMANCE:
Full-Featured Arpeggiator: A comprehensive arpeggiator with multiple patterns (Up, Down, Up/Down, Random, Chord), tempo sync, octave range, note length, and swing controls.
Flexible LFO: One extensive LFO with multiple waveforms that can be routed to modulate pitch, filter cutoff, animation speed, and even create unique "rippling" effects across the partials.
Advanced Analog Modeling: Dial in vintage character with dedicated "Analogness" controls for wow and flutter for incredibly rich, organic sounds.
EFFECTS & FILTERS:
State Variable Filter: A versatile filter with Low-Pass, Band-Pass, and High-Pass modes, complete with its own dedicated ADSR envelope, resonance, and velocity sensitivity.

Press release follows:
Exquis: expressive, MPE, intuitive, affordable, now optimised for Ableton Live
[Superbooth25] Intuitive Instruments, the French company behind the award‑winning Exquis ex‑pressive MPE keyboard, unveils a triple update that turns its flagship instrument into the ultimate, lightweight and compact creative hub for Ableton Live users
Unlike pad‑centric grid controllers optimised for finger‑drumming and loop triggering, Exquis responds like a real acoustic instrument: its 61 soft silicone keys, each with independent five‑dimension MPE control, provide the nuanced touch and emotional depth needed for flowing melodies and harmonically rich chords.
Exquis Remote‑Control Script for Ableton Live
The brand‑new Python‑based Remote Script integrates Exquis seamlessly into Live’s native controller family, delivering Launchpad‑style Session control and an instrument‑grade expressive touch—courtesy of its MPE twist—that makes playing melodies and chords feel effortlessly natural:
• Session view – create, launch and delete clips or scenes without touching the mouse.
• Track mastery – arm, select, mute and solo any track, and get immediate access to volume, pan and aux sends
• Expressive performance – chords, melodies and drum racks flow through all 61 soft silicone keys with independant and
polyphonic 5 dimensions controls.
• Hands‑on transport & harmony – set Live’s tempo, root note and scale directly from Exquis.
• Per‑track note layouts – recall any of the keyboard’s eight onboard layouts (or your own customs) automatically when you change tracks — instantly reconfiguring Exquis into a specific instrument for every track, be it a bass, a percussive grid, or a soaring solo lead.
• One‑touch Favourites – call up Live racks or plugin presets in a heartbeat via Exquis’ exclusive favourites system.
• Device & mix control – tweak any parameter on any device and any track with using four push encoders and ten action buttons.
The script installs like any official Ableton controller template and requires Live 12.
Firmware v2.1 — Poly‑Hold Sustain & Developer Mode
In keeping with Intuitive Instruments’ drive for constant refinement, firmware v2.1 delivers two
headline additions:
• Poly‑Hold Sustain – let chords ring out indefinitely while the onboard arpeggiator conti‑ nues to evolve.
• Developer Mode – an open MIDI API that exposes every hardware element—keys, en‑ coders, action buttons, RGB LEDs and even onboard memory—so developers can remap behaviours, write custom DAW scripts or integrate Exquis into bespoke performance setups.
The update also packs an array of stability improvements for an even smoother playing expe‑rience.
Exquis App v2 — New factory preset list and 1 500 Curated Presets
The companion software for macOS/Windows receives new factory preset list featuring hand‑picked, layout‑optimised patches for Surge XT, Vital and Decent Samplerand a vast sound‑library expansion bringing 1 250 new sounds tuned for Surge XT, Vital, Decent Sampler, Baby Audio Atom, Beatsurfing Random, Dawesome Abyss, Zyklus, Audiomodern Soun‑ dbox and Newfangled Audio Pendulate — now 1 500 presets in total.

Yamaha TX-816 FM Rack Synthesizer (8 DX-7s in a rack) with Beetle PR-7 Programmer The Yamaha TX816 is a monster of DX and FM digital synthesis. It is a unique system in that it is a rack unit that could take up to eight TF1 modules. A TF1 module is basically a DX7 condensed down to a single circuit board with almost no front panel controls. Definitely designed for use with external hardware and software controllers, the TX816 allows you to easily carry around up to eight DX7s! Software such as MOTU Unisyn, Emagic SounDiver, or even another DX7 can be used to program the sounds in each module via MIDI. This unit contains eight TF1 modules. A TF1 module is basically a DX7 condensed down to a single circuit board. Each TF1 module consists of a 16-voice, 6-operator digital FM synth engine. So this complete TX816 with all eight TF1 modules offers up to 128 voices and 48 operators! Each TF1 also features an independent audio out (XLR) and MIDI I/O for a total of eight audio outputs and MIDI I/O's. It also has one global MIDI in/out port with 8-part multitimbrality, but no common stereo or mix output. The TX816 is fully compatible with all other DX synthesizers including Native Instruments FM7 software-based plug-in. You can use the TX816 like it's eight seperate DX7s or mix and pan each module together to layer your sounds into one monstrous DX powerhouse!

ALM Busy Circuits MCO MkII | The ultimate compact modular voice?
video upload by Tom Churchill
"The MCO MkII from ALM Busy Circuits is a new version of the compact digital oscillator originally released back in 2018. But it’s so much more powerful that the ‘MkII’ tag doesn’t really do it justice.
The original MCO is a great-sounding digital wavetable oscillator. The MkII adapts this sound engine and adds six more, along with an internal envelope, VCA, three LFOs, chord modes and user presets. This all means that it can operate as a complete voice while still only taking up 6HP.
In this video, I explore each of the synth engines in context with some musical patches. Big thanks to ALM for sponsoring this video and sending me the unit ahead of release."
