Make HAPPY ACCIDENTS on the fly with the new GROUND CONTROL Firmware V.3
video upload by Endorphin.es
"We are presenting you the updated GROUND CONTROL - our flagship eurorack sequencer which got the major Version 3 firmware update - it is available to download from our website for free:
https://www.endorphin.es/modules/p/gr...
https://www.endorphin.es/modules/p/gr...
We listened all of you carefully and implemented all the requests for the MIDI and variable modular clock and 128 steps per pattern, but what is the most interesting is that GROUND CONTROL now has a dedicated HAPPY ACCIDENTS maker - RANDOM PATTERN GENERATION and RANDOM PATTERN VARIATION. There are three pretty different random generators - which are separate for melodies and rhythm tracks which generate melodies and rhythms on the fly. Those algorithms are: euclidean, wide and narrow.
Euclidean randomizer which tend to equally distribute the notes over our pattern steps
Wide randomizer has lots of random and lots of actions freedom
Narrow randomizer is more focused giving more clear result
Important to note that for melodic tracks those pattern generators track the music scales and their root notes, while 8 drum tracks all have different character (density, rhythmic pattern), it is worth to play with them to obtain an interesting result."
NAMM 2025: And we're off!
video upload by sonicstate
"A brief update just to let you know the UK floor team (this year Nick and Edd) have arrived in LA safely - apart from an incident with Edd's luggage - and will be joining our USA folks (Jim and Mera) to bring you the latest video news from the NAMM Show.
Back in the UK, the Home team (Andy, Ben & Chris B) will be editing and publishing stories as fast as we can manage.
If we can, we'll try to put some extra stuff on Patreon too, but please forgive us if it's sparse, there's so much to handle during a show!"

Xfer Serum Takes Hyperpop to the NEXT LEVEL! 50 Presets Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"Xfer Serum - Dreamy Decibels is a bank of presets created in the Hyper Pop, EDM, Retrowave, Darkwave, Synthwave genres, inspired by artists such as SOPHIE, A.G. Cook, Bladee and old Charli XCX.
📦 The bank includes 50 Patches: 11 Basses, 7 Leads, 10 Pads, 5 Plucks, 10 Percussion Sounds, 7 Synths.
This set offers you all the necessary tools to create bright, energetic and memorable music that expands the boundaries of traditional genres and immerses the listener in the world of neon sounds.
🌠Get this soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/seru...
Since the genre is quite diverse, the bank contains both metallic overdriven synths, drums and atmospheric pads, which can greatly complement and saturate your track with experiments!
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).
🎛 Macros 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.
ModWheel adds expressiveness to the timbre.
💡 Ensure that you are using the latest plugin version. Version 1.368 or higher is required.
Installation: Open the Serum menu and click "Show Serum Presets Folder." You will see folders containing different Serum content. Open the "Presets" folder and place the new bank of presets there.
I added drum loops to some demo tracks. They are not included into the soundset.
