UVI Introduces Rumble - The First Multiband Bass Synthesizer
Playlist:
1. UVI Rumble | Trailer
2. UVI Rumble | Showcase
3. UVI Rumble | Overview
4. UVI Rumble | Tips & Tricks
"Introducing Rumble, the first multiband bass synthesizer
Now available with intro offer at https://www.uvi.net/rumble
For the first time, discover a synth plugin that offers full control over the spectrum through three bands: Body, Character, and Air. With each band, a complete synthesis engine, achieving unmatched flexibility and precision in bass sound design."
"Rumble was designed to meet the needs of contemporary bass: the weight, punch, articulation, and movement that bass-led music demands. To deliver that, Rumble’s architecture treats each frequency band as a full synthesizer engine.
Body, Character, and Air each carry their own oscillator, wave-shaper, and effects, then converge through a shared filter stage, multiband compressor, and master EQ, to produce a powerful, unified voice.
The result is the first multiband synthesizer, built for bass from the ground-up. Layered sub-, mid-, and high-frequency content stays structurally separate, which means low-end weight, midrange definition, and top-end air can each be sculpted on their own terms.
The architecture itself goes deeper: vocal-formant synthesis, drone textures, percussive transients, cinematic motion, vintage analog warmth, all live within the same per-band approach.
The factory library is built by sound designers and genre-specialized producers, with a sprawling range of presets covering everything from 808s and wobbles to drones, motion sequences, and abstract textures.
Most synths give you one engine. Rumble gives you three."

ROLAND P-6 vs. THE LIMITS ❄️ UK Garage Train Jam | Jamuary 2026
video upload by jAUF BezDebat
"Pushing the Roland Aira Compact P-6 to the absolute edge while rolling through a snowy winter landscape. No more excuses about 'limited gear'—we’re mashing up the constraints and turning them into features. Seen?
[The Session] This is a high-speed UK Garage & Bassline session recorded live on a train. The P-6 might be small, but we’re squeezing every bit of juice out of its sample memory using custom hacks and workflow tricks.
Pay attention to the Ragga MC commentary—I’m shouting out technical specs, signal flow, and P-6 shortcuts instead of the usual hype. Watch the snowy window for lyrics and keep an eye on the screen for text-based tips on how to master the P-6 live.
[Workflow Secrets]
The 'Kit' Strategy: Prepare your samples as a kit so you can slice them and have more control. This way, you can access any part of the riddim and even combine multiple kits inna one beat.
Bank Management: Set strict rules for which sample types go into each bank. This allows you to mute banks live and keep the session flowin' smooth.
Old School Logic: Actually, it’s nuh ridiculous, seen? Short sample time was a typical limitation inna UK Garage origins because of the gear capabilities back inna di day. We’re just bringing that energy to the P-6.
[Gear & Community] Special thanks to the brands and family keeping the inspiration high:
Hardware: Roland Aira Compact P-6
[Join the Family] If you’re a P-6 head or just love gear-torture sessions, hit that Like and Subscribe. Tell me in the comments: What’s the one P-6 limitation that drives you crazy? Let’s find a hack for it!
Upfull vibes and happy Jamuary! 🎹❄️"

Waldorf M 1.11 Update Adds Varysaw VA Oscillator, CS80 Based Oscillator, Extensive FM & More


You can find the update here
Details form the release doc follows:
Disclaimer: This is an unofficial add-on to the M user manual, describing some of extra features added from firmware 1.05 up to firmware 1.11. This add-on also covers some complex aspects of the Multi Mode, which remains somewhat unusual.
Author: Vladi Salnikov aka VladiS.
Algorithms of FW version 1.11:
Varysaw: A VA oscillator ranging from SAW through PULSE to TRI.
Wave (red encoder): Mixes from 0 to 31 from SAW to PULSE; 32 is pure PULSE, and 33 to 63 mixesfrom PULSE to TRI.
Meta parameter: Pulse width for PULSE, adjustable from 5% to 95%.
CSAW: A famous Yamaha CS-80 saw oscillator with mutation towards a parabolic oscillator.
Wave : Controls the amplitude of the “step” component of the saw wave.
Meta parameter: Mixes between this saw wave and the parabolic saw wave.
Waveshpr: A SAW to TRI oscillator fed into a mild waveshaper.
Wave : 0 is pure SAW, 1-62 mixes between SAW and TRI, and 63 is pure TRI.
Meta parameter: Depth of the waveshaper.
TriplSaw: A stack of three SAW oscillators; two are detuned slightly higher and lower than the third.
Wave : Controls the amplitude of the “central” SAW oscillator relative to the two “side” SAWs.
Meta parameter: Detuning factor, from 0 to maximum detune.
S/T Fold: A SIN wave folding oscillator that folds the chosen crossmixed wave between SIN and TRI waves.
Wave : 0 is pure SIN, 1-62 mixes between SIN and TRI, and 63 is pure TRI.
Meta parameter: Folding depth.
FM 2 OP: Classic simple two-operator FM synthesis. OP1 (modulator) generates a sine wave that modulates the phase of OP2 (carrier). Both operators generate sinewaves; the algorithm's output is the carrier signal.
Wave: Maps values from 0 to 63 to harmonics ratios of 1 to 8 in stepped increments.
Meta parameter: Amount of phase modulation applied to the carrier.
