video upload by Hanjo Synth

"Welcome to my unboxing of the Dreadbox Nymphes Polyphonic synthesizer! This is an exciting release from Dreadbox, known for their high-quality analog synths and effects pedals.

Let's take a look at what's inside the box. As we open it up, we're greeted with the sleek and stylish design of the Nymphes. The synth has a beautiful metal enclosure and its sturdy construction makes it feel like a premium instrument right out of the box.

Moving on to the accessories, we have the MIDI to Din adapter, the USB cable for powering the synth and a quick start guide. The USB cable is a convenient design choice, allowing you to power the Nymphes directly from your computer or USB power supply.

Now, let's get the Nymphes hooked up and see what it can do! As we power it on, we're greeted with a warm and inviting sound. The Nymphes is a 6-voice polyphonic synth with one oscillator a sub oscillator and 2 LFOs, making it capable of creating rich and dynamic sounds with ease. The controls are not the most intuitive but they are all available with a few button combos allowing you you to quickly dial in the perfect sound for your music.

Overall, the Dreadbox Nymphes Polyphonic synthesizer is a fantastic addition to any musician's setup looking for a Polysynth. Its high-quality build, versatile sound, and hands on controls make it a joy to play and experiment with. I'm excited to dive deeper into what this synth can do, and I hope you are too!"

Synthesizer - Fish Synth (Mushsynth-8) by Carlo / VOSKHOD-2 reverb / DRONE DARK AMBIENT by GIPNOZER

video upload by G I P N O Z E R

"Just the other day I received a long-awaited parcel from Rostov-on-Don from Evgeny Carlo. This is a fully analog eight-voice synthesizer for a DIY project. Evgeny has invested a lot of time and effort in its creation, for which I am very grateful to him and wish him success in his wonderful work! At the moment, only 6 synthesizers have been made. And tonight we managed to record the first AMBIENT DRONE with its use in a compartment with the VOSKHOD-2 reverb from Universe Zen Audio."

Uncharted Space | Patching a 'Krell' on the System Cartesian

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"When it's about MakeNoise gear, I love to do special requests. So feel free to share your ideas. Obviously this is for privileged System Cartesian owners or anyone with a dual function generator, a source of uncertainty, a vco and a vca. So get your TTA/Buchla 200T series out. You don't need a sequencer.
Why not try something like this on the Tape & Microsound and use QPAS as a VCA! It will work too and you'll get amazing results with a cool Morphagene reel. Maybe even a single cycle wavetable reel. Go visit uncharted space and (don't) get lost."

GForce Software Minimonsta 2 - Patch Flip - Sonic LAB

video upload by sonicstate

"GForce Software's latest instrument update is for the Minimonsta making it now at version 2. It follows the new features first seen in the OB-E V2 and then the Oddity V3 - namely an improved audio engine, re-sizable UI, four macro controls, new preset browser and a vintage control for dialling in more wonkiness.

The Minimonsta2 is a Minimoog Model D at it's heart with the familiar panel but obviously also is polyphonic. GForce also include the XLFO and XADSR - two fully assignable modulation sources, though with as many instances as you’ll likely to need that can be mapped to most variable parameters on a one to one basis.

You also get an additional 300 presets.

At present the Minimonsta2 is available at a reduced price of £49 (+VAT) from £99 - which makes if a pretty affordable deal, given that it's a fairly simple to navigate interface and is capable of a wide variety of sounds - from monster basses to lovely atmospheric pads."

Alternative Firmware ROM for the Yamaha DX9 Brings it Closer to the DX7

You might remember this video from Espen Craft on how the Yamaha DX9 is essentially a 4-Op DX7. The DX7, of course, is a 6-Op FM synth. ajxs on Github is working on a ROM that will update the DX9 into a 6-Op synth a pitch envelop generator to more closely match the DX7. Details follow:

"DX9/7 is an alternative firmware ROM for the Yamaha DX9 synthesiser. Its aim is to uplift the DX9's functionality to more closely match that of the DX7. It restores features that were intentionally restricted in the firmware, such as increasing the operator count to six, and adding a pitch envelope generator. This ROM makes the synth properly patch-compatible with the DX7.

This is not a patch for the existing DX9 firmware, it is an entirely new firmware ROM. It has been assembled from the original binary, together with code from the DX7's V1.8 ROM, as well as new code written from scratch.

New Features:

Makes the DX9 able to play DX7 patches.
Restores the use of all six operators.
The synth is now sensitive to the velocity of incoming MIDI notes.
Implements the DX7's pitch EG.
Implements DX7 style operator scaling.
Implements DX7 style portamento/glissando.
What is the current status of the ROM?

This firmware is currently highly experimental. Although the main features are fully working, testing and bugfixes are ongoing. Installing the firmware for everyday general use is currently not recommended. As additional testing is performed this will improve. If you do intend to use the ROM despite this warning, please refer to the section on reporting issues. Development, and testing of the cassette interface is ongoing, and at this point it should only be used for testing purposes.

The risk of any harm coming to your DX9 as a result of using this ROM is incredibly, incredibly small, however the developers take no responsibility for any issues that may arise as a result of using this alternate firmware. All care has been taken, and considerable testing has been performed, however the developers accept no liability for any issues.

Hear the Futuristic Synth Everyone's Talking About - Osmose Sound Demo - No Talking

video upload by Perfect Circuit

"Several years in the making, Expressive E's Osmose is one of the most unique keyboard synthesizers available. Using a cutting-edge keyboard design, it can detect multiple levels of pressure, left and right movement, and more...creating a tremendously expressive playing experience. Paired with the onboard Eaganmatrix sound engine, you'll get everything from classic synth pads to uncanny physical-modeled tones—and frankly, it'll make you re-think the way you play a keyboard altogether.
Plus, it makes one heck of a MIDI controller, complete with MPE capability. If you need a futuristic synthesizer or controller, there's simply nothing else like Osmose.
