Alesis Microverb 1 & 2 MVB - switchable operating system mod

video upload by circuitbenders.co.uk

"Alesis Microverb I with a switchable operating system to turn it into either a Microverb I or a Microverb II. Both operating systems are now on one EPROM with a switch to swap between them live, without crashing. The only difference between the OS files appears to be in the 16 preset parameters.

In terms of the hardware the two units are absolutely identical other than some minor resistor differences that restrict the bandwidth very slightly on the Microverb I. The Microverb I also runs slightly slower with a 6mHz ceramic resonator for the system clock, while the Microverb II runs at 8mHz.

This Microverb I in the video has had the 6mHz clock changed to 8mHz, and the necessary resistors changed to those of the Microverb II. It is now effectively a Microverb II that can also run the Microverb I presets, rather than the other way around.

Maybe you loose a little of the Microverb I's muffled 'character' when you replace the resistors, and the effects run slightly faster at 8mHz so reverbs are a little shorter, but the difference is very small, and if you were reclocking the thing anyway then the clock difference is irrelevant.

We will have some no solder kits for the OS switching upgrade sometime soon. It will work on either unit to add the preset reverbs of the other unit."

GODWIN MPS88 - The Final Boss That Does Whatever You Ask

Another first to be featured on the site, the GODWIN MPS88

16:25 Last Musical Interlude

After our videos on the predecessors Godwin CD1 and CD2 we felt we had to continue all the way to the finish line of Godwins output of amazing and rare, combination instruments.
The GODWIN MPS 88 was most likely the last instrument to come out of the factory and BOY is it something special!
It doesn't look like any other Italian instrument that we've laid eyes on, and the majority of the sounds are unique to this machine.

You'll find all the information we've managed to unearth in the video but a quick roundup would look like this.

The instrument consists of mainly 6 instrument sections with individual volumes divided between two manuals - all playable simultaneously.

1. DRUM MACHINE - sample based sounds
2. AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section (bass, chords and arpeggiator)
3. 2 x PARAPHONIC PRESETS (upper / lower orchestra)
4. SOLO PRESETS (monophonic synth)
5. 2 X ORGAN FLUTES (organ footages)
6. 2 X STRINGS / CHOIR

There are only minor modulation possibilities available but the spring reverb is nice and deep and the Chorus and Leslie effects are great too, although they might deserve a closer look by our tech since we're not sure they function properly.

If you're into rare Italian synths and drum machines you can subscribe to our channel and please check out our other videos of rare gems, but you might also enjoy the V.A.I. website, an encyclopedia of Italian Vintage Synths and Drum Machines:

Detune - Synthesis Sound Design App for the iPhone

Press release follows:

"Aito Ventures is launching an new app. Detune is an iPhone app that teaches sound design and music theory through short interactive lessons. It runs its own wavetable synth engine, and every lesson, challenge and free-play session is played on that engine rather than on video.

The Sound Synthesis path is 29 modules across seven acts, covering waveforms, the volume envelope, the filter, two-oscillator patches, filter envelopes, the LFO, resonance, effects, mono and glide, the sub oscillator, noise, the modulation matrix, and FM, ring modulation and hard sync. Each act ends with a checkpoint patch the user builds from scratch and keeps.

The Music Theory path is ten modules (scales, triads, chord changes, minor colour, fifths and octaves, chord progressions, melody, keys, and rhythm) taught by ear, with no notation required.

Challenges are ear-based: pick the brighter of two sounds, match a target patch, place the notes. A daily patch gives one sound-design problem per day.

Synth engine: two wavetable oscillators plus a sub oscillator and noise source; low-pass, band-pass and high-pass filter with resonance; two envelopes; LFO; modulation matrix; delay, reverb, distortion, chorus and phaser.

Pricing: free to download. Pro unlocks every module in both paths and unlimited lessons: $59.99 per year with a 7-day free trial, or $12.99 per month."

Collaborating with the Pet Rock over a Weekend (Temporal Synthesis Experiment #1)

video upload by Musical Miscellany & More

"I thought this might be a fun experiment. I made this simple patch and allowed the Pet Rock to determine the rhythms over a 4-day period. Each day I made small changes to modulation, bpm, scale, etc, but the patch is relatively static. It sounds quite different from day to day.

"I thought this might be a fun experiment. I made this simple patch and allowed Supra to determine the rhythms and melodies over a 24 hour period. The rhythm should change every 3 hours and the scale should change every 12 hours. I made minor changes like knob position and clock division but most of the changes are from Supra.

Behringer Grind: 64 Techno, Acid, House Patterns Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

🦠 Behringer Grind "Toxic Flux" is a collection of 64 sequences suitable for different genres like Techno, Minimal, Dark Ambient, IDM, Industrial, House, Breakbeat etc.
🧿 The soundset contains a wide range of patterns: dense, with all steps active, or sparse, having many empty steps and giving space for other instruments. Each pattern is thoroughly set with parameters such as Gate Length, Glide, and Accent.

📦 The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/grin...

🎼 There are patterns with an "even" number of steps (16, 32) and patterns with an "uneven" number (15, 21, 30), which create interesting interactions with other parts of the track through polymetry.
🎹 By default, the sequences are in the C2 Minor scale. However, you may transpose them to octaves, or you can adjust the root note in semitones using the onboard keyboard to fit any scale. Additionally, transposition during playback can be used to create progressions.

💡 The soundset doesn't include Grind patches/timbres/front-panel settings. Patterns/sequences/melodies only.
You may find Grind patches on my website as separate products.

🎛 You can use the patterns as ready-to-go material for your tracks or jams. Alternatively, you can go further by taking them as a starting point. Decorate the sequences with the features offered by Grind: play with pattern length (end point), direction, rotation (shifts the starting point back and forward), swing amount and division, tempo division if you use an external clock, momentary actions like hold, accent, ratchet, and others, reset, and, of course, you can change patterns by muting/adding steps or changing notes. Thus, a single sequence can produce many "siblings" in real time.

📝 For loading the sequences onto your Grind, you must use the SynthTribe app. It’s available on the official Behringer website → Grind page → Downloads.
Before loading new sequences, make sure to back up the slots already used in your synth.
The pack consists of 64 sequences. You can send the sequences one by one if you want to load individual sequences.

Instructions:
Connect your Grind via USB.
Run the SynthTribe application.
Choose the Sequencer Page.
Select Pattern Group 1 → Pattern Section A → Pattern 1.
Click Import and select I-1-A.seq from the “Patterns” folder.
Click Store to load it into the Grind I-1-A slot.
This takes several minutes in total.

Alternatively, you can load all 64 sequences from the soundset with a single click.
Click the Merge button in the SynthTribe app and select Toxic Flux Dump File.seq.
I added drums and pads to the demos to create a musical context.
They are not included in the soundset.

Ellitone Osage Modular Synthesizer System (EOMSS) system #000 Prototype Plays Bach

video upload by ellitone instruments

"Ellitone Osage Modular Synthesizer System (EOMSS) system #000. This was the final prototype system built before official production began. Usually, I do not keep my prototype units around for very long. I see the destruction of prototypes as an essential part of progress, a sacrifice to the forces of forward momentum. However, this system was good enough that it deserved to survive. This system is 98% identical to the production units that followed. The ONLY real difference between this system and the later production units is the USB connection style. This system has a hard-wired USB connection that runs out of the bottom of the case. The USB connector on the back of the case itself is NOT connected here. Also, on the back of the case there is a defunct 5-pin din MIDI connector that also is not connected. Other than these minor technical differences, this system is in perfect working order and sounds truly fantastic in every way. The pcb circuity in this system is all through-hole hand assembled and includes hand-matched transistor pairs in the expo-converters. It tracks very well across 5 octaves. It has been very fun getting this system ready for sale and hearing it roar again. This modular system is something special, I know that someone out there will appreciate this opportunity to acquire something truly out of the ordinary. -ellis"

Tracker TRX-12: Thirteen Minutes of Auto-Remixing Dub Techno!

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"TRACKER TRX-12: https://www.electronisounds.com/trx-1...
'Dub Continuum' Sound Bank for TRACKER TRX-12: https://www.electronisounds.com/track...

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH DUB CONTINUUM?
1. Render your own 'Inspiration Starter Kits.' Every time you render a pattern, you get a brand new, RANDOM set of full stems — from scratch. Render a pattern several times, LISTEN to the exported results, and pick your favorite groove. Then start a fresh TRX-12 session and use those stems to build a chilled, dubby techno track that's all your own. Layer in more loops from the Dub Continuum pack, the TRX-12 sequence presets, or your own sample arsenal to flesh out your track.

2. Use the loops on their own. Skip the project entirely and use the loop content just like you'd use ANY loops to write your own tracks.

3. Feed it YOUR sounds. Add your own 8-bar loops (110 BPM, key of F minor) into the Dub Continuum folders — and hear your own content get randomly remixed into the session!

4. Chill out and just listen. Sit back and enjoy self-generating, endlessly evolving, chilled dubby techno. Fair warning: you're likely to get inspired and want to start working with these deliciously chilled samples yourself.

5. Learn the Grid. Use the project as one huge tutorial and learning session — and see firsthand how many different Step FX commands are used in a real-world TRX-12 project.

Minimal Audio Current 50 Atmospheric Arp Presets. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

✨ "Dreaming Motion" is a bank of 50 Arp Presets for Minimal Audio Current 2, combining warm analog-inspired sounds with soft and airy atmospheres.
The collection moves between retro synth character, subtle analog imperfections, dreamy textures, and spacious evolving arpeggios, giving the bank both nostalgic and modern sides.

📦 The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/curr...
👤 The author of the soundset is Ilian.

🎛️ Each preset features 4 Macros for shaping the sound, while the Modwheel adds additional movement and expression.
The macros are a significant part of the soundset. They can change tone, stereo width, modulation depth and rate, noise level, distortion, detuning, space/echo/reverb, effects mix, envelope parameters, and others.
You may control them via MIDI controller, use them for automation, or map the macros to your DAW modulators like LFO, Shaper, and others.

📻 The patches are perfect for Electronica, Synthwave, Ambient, IDM, Downtempo, Melodic Techno, Chillout, and experimental electronic music.

🎹 All Arps are designed in either C Major or C Minor, following Current 2’s tonal Arp system. This makes the presets easy to use while keeping their harmonic character consistent. You can change the Scale in the lower right corner of the synthesizer to the one used in your track.

808/26 Happy 808 Day! Blue Lantern triggers DSP 808 & Birdkids Unicorn Boom + Gieskes No Drum + (…)

video upload by Cfpp0

"808/26 Happy 808 Day! Blue Lantern Modular MR fill gates & Gate Sequencer + DSP 808 + Birdkids Unicorn Boom + Gieskes No Drum & Starving Binary + Befaco Mutes + ALM Pamela’s New Workout + Alesis MIDIVERB II + CXM 1978

It’s 808 Day again and we still don’t have a Roland TR-808, but this beat uses two 808 clone modules—the DSP Synthesizers 808 Vintage and the Birdkids Unicorn Boom. The DSP 808 module has only one output, but has several different samples to trigger individually. We just got the Blue Lantern MR fill gates module and it is triggering quarter notes on the DSP 808 bass drum. One of the three Blue Lantern Gate Sequencers is triggering half notes on the Birdkids Unicorn Boom. Another Gate Sequencer is triggering an open hi hat on the DSP 808, through a Befaco Mutes so I can turn it on and off. And the last Gate Sequencer is triggering the closed hi hat, but the triggers run first through the Olivia Artz Modular Uncertainty module, for some minor random dropouts. The second output on that closed hi hat Gate Sequencer runs to the Gieskes Starving Binary clock divider, with two divisions modulating the Gieskes No Drums and another division triggering the Birdkids Unicorn Boom accent input. The No. drums is also triggered by the open hi hat Gate Sequencer. The reverb is Alesis MIDIVERB II and the delay is CXM 1978."

KHÔRA - Microtonal Soundscape Synthesizer

video upload by Laboratory 0

"KHÔRA is a drone-based harmonic instrument. There are no labels - every control is a living geometric object. The ring of stars is a map of just-intonation pitches. Star size represents consonance, while color represents harmonic families. Rather than relying on theory, a keyboard, or parameter lists, KHÔRA offers a new way to explore harmonic space through interaction.

Five built-in chord generators:
Click the Seed (center-left icon) to generate a chord. Right-click to switch modes.

1. Genesis: Generates a new just-intonation chord, favoring simple, consonant intervals while always retaining the root.

2. Metabole: Preserves some common tones from the current chord while regenerating the remaining voices, balancing continuity and change.

3. Topos: Moves the entire chord through just-intonation space while preserving its internal structure, revealing more distant microtonal colors.

4. Skia (Hidden): Explores dark, modal harmony over a fixed drone, with spacious minor voicings that return to the home chord every fourth generation.

5. Helios (Hidden): The only mode based on 12-tone equal temperament (12-EDO), featuring modern color harmony with smooth bass motion and a return to the home chord every 4th generation."

Laboratory 0 also brought us MORPH-6: Algorithmic Lifeforms Synthesizer and Carousel: Five-Voice Round-Robin Polyphonic Synthesizer.
