Floor-shaking future bass with OBLVYN and the all-black Seaboard RISE 2

video upload by ROLI

"Since debuting on the legendary EDM label Monstercat in 2021, OBLVYN has become known for her unique take on the future bass genre and virtuosic keyboard performances. We were keen to see what she could create with our newly blacked-out Seaboard RISE 2 — and she didn’t disappoint! Watch the video to see what RISE 2 can do in the hands of a bass-music maestro."

Stunning DIY VST Controllers by Craigyb

This one is in via Florian Anwander via the Sequencer.de forum.

According to the creator of these controllers, Craigyb:

"So when I was 16 (around 45 years ago) I used to dream of the Arp Quadra. A friend of mine who wasn't a keyboard player, but just wealthy bought one and it was sat in his front room doing nothing unless I could call around after school and have a play on this great synth.

Now I know I could probably afford to buy one, but the wife would kill me quicker than the Russians, so instead I took Cherry Audio's VST of the Quadra and created a physical beast with a PC built in to create sounds.

I then followed that up with a synth that I've never met in real life AFAIK but is also quite legendary, the Elka Synth (again a VST emulation by Cherry Audio).

I'm currently working on the Memory Moog version (MemoryMode by Cherry Audio) and I just need to finish the actual hardware as the software controller is complete."

Further below are a few more creations from Craigyb in a separate thread on the Sequencer.de forum here.

"This is a small collection of some of the real synths and accessories I have built over the last 4 years.

California Highway 49 - Descending into Merced River Vallay

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We drive a short stretch of California Highway 49, the "Golden Chain Highway", as it descends into a deep valley cut by the Merced River (and partially submerged by the eastern end of Lake McClure). The section of road features numerous tight switchbacks before crossing a bridge over the river. This crossing is near the former community of Bagby, which was submerged when Lake McClure was formed.

The original music by Amanda Chaudhary is based around the rupak tal (7-beat) rhythm from Hindustani classical music. Instead of a tabla, we use the Cherry Audio CR-78 drum machine for the tal.

Instrumentation:
Cherry Audio CR-78, Memorymode, and Chroma
AudioModeling SWAM Solo Cello
Arturia MiniBrute 2 analog synth
Arturia Pigments and EFX Fragments
Waterphone from EastWest Stormdrum 2
AudioThing Wires

Comparing the MIDIKalimba Prototype to the Production Model

video upload by Musical Miscellany

"You might have seen my previous video where I reviewed the MIDIKalimba prototype from Peacock Media. Now, the production model is shipping and @midi_in sent me one to check out. I like the new interface and firmware a lot. The new tine layout is really intuitive as well.

PPM + MANGROVE 2023

video upload by Trent

"The 2023 redesign of MANGROVE brought a full rework of the module, introducing a number of new integrated circuits. While most behavior stays the same as the original design, there are some notable differences which are all outlined in its web documentation ( https://www.whimsicalraps.com/pages/s... ).

This video focuses on the accompanying module, PPM, which breaks out many of MANGROVE's internal signals & connections to patch points, so you can reconfigure MANGROVE into a wide range of complex oscillators.
