Introducing Pip Filter & Pip LFO by ALM

video upload by ALM TV

"The 'Pip Filter' is a compact 4HP voltage controlled 2 pole low-pass filter with resonance and built in VCA. Here we take a look at all the features of the module.

The filter cutoff is controlled via both knob control and dual CV inputs with a built in attenuverter. Resonance is manually controlled and will reach into self oscillation with rough V/Oct tracking. A trigger input allows the filter to be pinged for percussive plucked type sounds. Finally, a built in VCA (normalled open) allows for additional independent amplitude control of the filtered signal.

The “Pip Filter’ provides a classic lowpass filter sound in a small form factor with many useful features for sound sculpting."

Introducing Pip LFO

video upload by ALM TV

"The 'Pip LFO' is a compact 4HP all analogue low frequency oscillator with a wide frequency range, voltage control, numerous outputs, reset input and a VCO mode. Here we take a look at all the features of the module.

The frequency of the Pip LFO is set via a manual control and voltage control input. The module features a unipolar square wave output along with both bipolar and uni-polar triangle, saw and sine waveform outputs. When VCO mode is activated, the frequency jumps to audio range and will track V/Oct for approx 5 octaves. A reset input allows the LFO waveform cycle to be reset and produces hard sync functionality in VCO mode.

The Pip LFO’s compact design makes it easy to add a modulation source and an analogue voice into any system."

Tre Modular - Quad LFO demo

video upload by Tre Modular

"We are releasing new demo videos for two of our older modules - Quad LFO and Replicant VCF. Some time has passed since we have released these two modules. We thought that they deserve brand new and shiny demo videos.

Today we reintroduce you to Tre Modular - Quad LFO.

Tre Modular – Quad LFO features four independent Low-Frequency Oscillators.

Quad LFO offers both super slow and low audio rate speeds. It ranges from 0.013Hz to 40Hz. You can use it for slow moving patches or audio rate modulation.

Another notable feature of this Quad LFO is skew/pulse width control. It is similar to one found on Korg's MS-20 Modulation Generator. Rotate the knob to morph between sawtooth, triangle, and ramp waveforms. Turn counterclockwise for sawtooth waveform and clockwise for ramp waveform and in the middle it produces triangle waveform.

At the corresponding channels square wave output this control changes the pulse width of the square wave."

GENE GX

video upload by LA Priest

"GENE GX is an all analog, polyphonic synthesizer with a class A audio path.

Inspired by the earliest polysynths of the 1970s, it is multi-timbral and completely touch sensitive.

With 7 tuneable keys on each of its 3 touch sensitive keyboards (6 main keys plus one higher octave key on the right and also a silent filter envelope trigger key on the left), Gene GX can be tuned to a huge number of standard and microtonal scales using the two independent tuning, modulation and pitch bend sections, allowing you to articulate the pitch and timbre of each group as you play.

The unique all-analog oscillator design allows four different waveform harmonics to be controlled and modulated, creating shifting waveshapes and frequency ranges.

All of this is topped off with a lovely class A transistor ladder filter."

Moog Muse Firmware v1.4 Update

video uploads by Moog Music

Playlist:

1. Muse | New Global Modulation

In this video, we explore how to access the new global modulation options added to Muse's MOD MAP in v1.4 firmware.

Firmware v1.4 introduces a wealth of new modulation options: six new global modulation sources (two global LFOs, two global envelopes, and two global random trigger sources) and 23 new modulation destinations—including the much-requested ability to modulate every delay parameter, down to each individual character function.

These new options exponentially expand the sound design possibilities on Muse, opening the door to entirely new sonic landscapes and microcosms to explore.

2. Muse | Per-Timbre Sequencer Probability

In this video, we explore how to use the new per-timbre probability options added to Muse's sequencer in the new v1.4 firmware.

While firmware v1.4 expands Muse's sequencer capabilities in many ways—perhaps the most powerful enhancement is the ability to dial in different generative behaviors per timbre. This enables incredibly deep and detailed methods of introducing probability into your compositions, allowing Muse's sequencer to act as an improvisational partner.

Randomness is a powerful tool for adding surprise and movement to your music, and Muse's sequencer offers a compelling way to incorporate interesting musical twists and turns into your exploration of sound and compositional form.

3. Muse | Dynamic Chorus

In this video, we explore how to use some of the new features in Muse firmware version v1.4 to create dynamic chorus and interactive diffusion patches.

Muse firmware v1.4 allows for modulation of all parameters of the DIFFUSION DELAY using the six new global modulation sources. We first look at how to create a basic chorus sound by using short delay times in the DIFFUSION DELAY and modulating the delay times very gently using the global LFOs.

(Note that PITCH-SHIFT should be selected as the time mode in the DIFFUSION DELAY "More" menu to enable pitch artifacts reminiscent of those found on beloved analog BBD or tape delays.)

We also look at how to integrate Muse’s expressive controls, such as the Mod Wheel, keyboard Aftertouch, and Macro knob to control various parameters of both chorusing and diffusion. A twist on our patch uses the global envelope generators to increase the chorusing rate over the duration of our notes, which will function differently depending on if multi-trig is enabled or disabled for the global envelopes.

4. Muse | Fading Modulation

In this video, we explore how to use some of the new features in Muse firmware version v1.4 to create modulation routings that fade over the course of a note’s duration.

Muse firmware v1.4 introduces a handful of new functions to the MOD MAP which allow you to fade in or out a modulation routing over time. We take a modulation routing that uses global LFO 1 to modulate both delay times in the DIFFUSION DELAY and apply the new fade functions to fade the chorus effect over time.

FADE A fades the modulation in from the onset of a note, while FADE D fades modulation out from the start of a note. FADE R sustains the modulation routing for as long as a note is held and then fades it out when notes are released. Finally, FADE AR applies both an attack and release envelope to the modulation, combining our fade in/out behavior into one handy function. For all fading functions, the amount sets the time of the fade from shorter to longer.

5. Muse | LFO Envelope Mode

In this video, we explore how to use the envelope mode added to Muse's LFOs in the v1.4 firmware.

Firmware v1.4 introduces a bevy of new features to Muse, unlocking countless exciting modulation possibilities. LFO envelope mode is one powerful addition that allows the LFOs to behave more like an envelope.

When you press a key, the LFO will run through a single cycle of its waveform and then pause. When combined with some of the unique user waves found in LFOs 1 and 2 (and now global LFOs 1 and 2, as well), envelope mode enables a wide range of new, key-triggered movements to enhance your sound design experience with Muse.

Click CC for subtitles.

"The new Moog Messenger upholds the brand's tradition in architecture, sound, and… price. At 849 euros, it’s hardly the most affordable monophonic synth on the market, but it’s an appealing choice for those seeking a Moog. It blends original Moog tradition with some newer features for a variety of sounds.

In the Messenger, you’ll find options like bass compensation when increasing resonance, wavefolding, continuously variable waveforms in the oscillators, FM between oscillators and to the multimode filter, a sub-oscillator that stands out with its variable waveform (almost a third oscillator), looping envelopes… With presets, a sequencer, and an arpeggiator, but without effects or polyphony, it left us particularly impressed with its robust and intuitive bass sound creation and transformation.

Wisely, Moog only teased partial details of the new Messenger two days before Superbooth 2025 kicked off, drawing a big crowd to their booth. Eight units were available to try in Berlin, where we got to showcase it. What do you think?

MAGNOLIA, one of the HIGHLIGHTS of Superbooth

video upload by Hispasonic

Click CC for subtitles.

"We went inside the Frap Tools booth at the Berlin Superbooth to explore the Magnolia, a polyphonic synthesizer that has caught everyone's attention.

Magnolia stands out for its unique architecture, with two oscillators that break with convention: a through-zero oscillator that allows analog linear FM, evoking the classic timbres of Yamaha's FM synthesizers, but in a 100% analog format. It also features a more traditional oscillator with octave controls, variable waveform and a wave folder to add richness and timbral complexity. Want metallic sounds or subtractive textures? Magnolia dares to do both.

This synth also impresses with its polyphony and bithermality, allowing everything from dense sounds in dual mode to splits and morphing between presets. Each voice features two independent filters (low pass and high pass), extensive modulations with synchronizable LFOs, dedicated envelopes and an effects stage that includes analog distortion and digital slots for delays and modulations (still under development), as well as a built-in sequencer and expressive controls such as aftertouch, expression pedals and modulatable panning.

In this video you will hear sound demos that show the versatility of the Magnolia, from expansive stereo leads to vibrant textures with delayed vibrato. We also tell you details about its release, scheduled for late 2025 at an estimated price of 3995 €.
