"A walkthrough of the LEGEND HZ from Synapse Audio. It sounds great and has some lovely presets that demo some lovely Hans Zimmer cinematic effects.. check them out at @10:43 which led me to realise the unique aspect of this is the amount of access the modulation matrix give you to all the parameters.

If this was sold as a virtual modular system there would be patch points and cables all over the place.. and an awful lot of confusion! But it somehow gets the flexibility without the complexity. Having even the effects and filter bank parameters as modulation destinations really opens things up.

You can go from super simple to suyper complex in minutes. The MSEG envelopes/LFOs are so easy to use but really drive you into sound design and experimentation."

Groc Synth - Pre-Superbooth Patch Tour

video upload by oddment audio

"We are flying to Berlin today for Superbooth 24! Come and see us at table Z064.

We just announced a pre-order list for a small, refundable fee, so no reason to wait...order your Groc now and it will ship in 2025! @c1sao3nbvzbvdohqm6thci5coji5ml

Groc is still in development which means the list of parameters available is growing and changing over time. With a touch screen we can keep iterating on the most intuitive ways to offer these secondary parameters. In this video I take a tour and play with some patches I made with the current set of parameters and modulators. We have also made a lot of progress on offering multiple layers. We plan to offer four that can be used as a multi-timbral synth, a multi-track looper and all kinds of other combinations."

Waldorf M - QCOMP Board Demo

"This showcases some sounds of my Waldorf M with a passband level loss modification board for the analogue VCF. This simple board reduces some of the level drop on higher resonance settings and accentuates the coloration of the oscillator MW1 Mode. More info here: https://maffez.com/?page_id=4003"

"Tracker+ keeps the same workflow beloved by Tracker users. 14 tracks of USB audio, stereo sample recording and playback"

Spectral Processors - 296t vs Sputnik vs Fumana vs Bark Filter

video upload by Stazma

"This is a BIG one. I will try to compare the four main big Buchla inspired "Spectral Processor" modules:
The Buchla & Tiptop 296t, the Sputnik Spectral Processor, the Verbos Electronics Bark Filter and the Frap Tools Fumana.
You will see they all sound and behave quite diferently and this is why I guess this video might of some interest.

Have fun!"

Loom: Upgraded Action Zone

video upload by Aodyo Instruments

"This video showcases the upgraded Action Zone, now with X axis control in addition to the existing Z pressure axis. This upgrade offers yet another dimension of expressiveness and playability for your Loom.

This is the result of a process that started way before the Kickstarter launch, during the early development stages. Initially, we aimed to include a two-dimensional action zone, but we faced design challenges that led us to postpone this feature.
With tests and feedback with the Kickstarter prototypes, we could quickly hone in on a seamless solution that integrates effortlessly.
To accommodate this new feature, we've slightly widened the Action Zone. This adjustment not only optimizes the use of the new X axis control, but also facilitates two-finger playing techniques. Consequently, we've updated the visual design on the left side of the Loom, moving away from the large Aodyo logo. We look forward to unveiling these new visuals in June."
