Beyond the pipe - Erica Synths Steampipe

video upload by Somnambule

"Hi folks!
I had for only one day the chance to had my hand on Erica synths steampipe and I like to share with you my experimentation. The first 3 minutes are without a keyboard after this comes the same patch played with a midi keyboard. Hop, you enjoy it;-)"

Loris Based Crystal Baschet Emulation with Continuum & EaganMatrix Micro

video upload by EaganMatrix Programming

"Here's an initial shot at emulating a Crystal Baschet using Loris conversions from Soniccouture's "GlassWorks" Library. The treble is played on the Continuum's internal sound engine but because bass notes on the instrument can sound quite different, the Continuum is split to output MPE midi below the split. The Midi is sent into an EaganMatrix Micro which plays the bass Loris conversions. Continuum & Micro are then mixed to output. Osmose can then play the combined duo as well. Y based modulation and dynamic convolution using Waterphone IRs give you a better emulation of change simulating rubbing rods up and down. Probably need to be totally quantized as Continuum bend sound unnatural (but that's an easy change). Uses a custom EaganMatrix Overlay running on COntinuum and another on the Micro designed for this specific use case."

Behringer BX1: SOUNDS DEMO

video upload by Hispasonic

:First look at the Behringer BX1 from NAMM 2025: straight from the company's booth, we get a demonstration of their bold fusion of legendary technologies. This synthesizer combines 32-voice FM synthesis (inspired by the Yamaha DX1) with coveted CS-80-style analog filters. In this brief demo with the Behringer team, we explore its main features: the impressive LED editing panel reminiscent of the original DX1, resonant HPF/LPF filters with optional 24 dB/oct mode, comprehensive built-in effects section, and professional connectivity including balanced outputs and breath control input.

The BX1 is one of the most talked-about surprise releases at this year's NAMM, though we'll have to wait until next year to see it in stores. What do you think about this fusion of classic technologies? Let us know in the comments!"

Redshift 6 - Supersaw Tweak

video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"Redshift 6’s Demon Core Oscillator can create up to 16 analogue oscillators per voice. In this synth tweak we use the Demon Core Oscillators Stack feature to create a dense oscillator stack for a supersaw trance sound.

The stereo effect is created by modulating amplifiers panning with voice, so that each new note gets played on the opposite side of the stereo field. The filter cutoff is modulated with slow LFO to create movement to the arpeggiator lines.

Effects in this demo are external effects. All variations from the theme start dry, and the amount of effect is shown in the video."

Behringer's Wave is a PPG Wave clone that's been four years in the making

video upload by MusicRadar Tech

"Behringer has returned to NAMM after a 10 year absence, and it's brought with it the recently released Wave, a synthesizer based on the classic PPG Wave, an '80s instrument beloved by artists such as Depeche Mode and David Bowie. We caught up with Behringer on the NAMM show floor to hear it in action."

NAMM 2025: DivisiMate DivisiMate 2

video upload by sonicstate

"At the NAMM 2025 show, we caught up with Steffen and Peter from Divisimate and Ilio who introduced us to *DivisiMate 2*, a sophisticated orchestration software tailored for MIDI. The discussion centered around its capabilities for real-time division and distribution of MIDI notes across multiple virtual instruments, allowing you to assign different keyboard strokes to various orchestral sections. Specifically, Stephan demonstrated how Divisimate 2 manages string sections by assigning notes to specific instruments like violins and cellos, overcoming previous limitations in ensemble and individual patch handling.

The conversation extended into illustrating setups using templates like the Spitfire Symphonic Orchestra, with DivisiMate 2 managing parts via virtual MIDI. Stephan also elaborated on its use for big band arrangements, notably with the Swam big band template. Available now, DivisiMate 2 features advanced setup options, including an arpeggiator and multi-pad switching for intricate musical arrangements.

NAMM 2025: Yum Audio Ember Soft Synth

video upload by sonicstate

"At NAMM 2025, we caught up with Dylan from Yum Audio, who introduced their first foray into the world of soft synths with the *Ember*. Positioned as an analog-inspired '80s synth, Ember offers you a variety of oscillator options including square, sawtooth, and triangle waves, complete with features such as pulse width modulation and FM synthesis for added harmonic depth.

A standout aspect was Ember's deep modulation matrix, featuring two envelopes and LFOs that are highly assignable to numerous parameters, including FM and pitch. Ember also comes loaded with Yum's signature tape emulation capabilities, adding vintage texture with parameters like wear, rust, and age via an intuitive X-Y axis.

The synth includes onboard effects: chorus, delay, and reverb, with additional control over parameters like width and tone for the master channel. The unique drifter LFO offers versatile modulation possibilities, while the arpeggiator features options for shuffle and octave variation. Yum Audio confirmed that Ember is available now, with the bundle priced at $265.
