Synth One J6 with VintageRack effects (demo)


video upload by Igor Vasiliev

"VintageRack (iOS/Mac) is a minimalistic and convenient multi-effect application that contains modules realistically modeling notable retro gear from the early digital era with their inherent aesthetics and atmosphere.

Most of the effects in this application have been inspired and based on the principles of actual hardware from the 70s and 80s, which is great for giving the sound of any instrument the nostalgic and emotional mood of old recordings.

UNBOXING // IK Multimedia UNO SYNTH PRO X // Part 2 // TWEAKING Presests // No Talking

"UNBOXING // IK Multimedia UNO SYNTH PRO X // Part 2 // TWEAKING Presests // No Talking
Just arrived here. I could not dive deep into the synth. So I am scatchning only the surfice in this video and my short FIRST IMPRESSIONS of the new kid.
Very versatile little machine with paraphonic mode to play triads and program triads in the step sequencer. 2 independet filter. 1 OTA HP/LP, 1 SSM style, parallel or in series.
Now a few shortcomings:
DISTORSION is welcome but has to be that harsh?
Also: A programmable DISTORSION is a good feature but without a programmable overall level BEHIND the DISTORSION it makes the synth almost unsuitable for a live performance as for huge unsustainable loudness gaps between different patches.
DELAY and REVERB are only average and far away industry standard.
Flexible MODULATION ROUTING but it is quite a mess to readjust levels as there are for instance no dedicated attenuaters for LFO mod levels for the VCF. I understand that there is not much space on the panel 1. But LFO WAVE knob could get a 2nd shift function. Main job: LFO amount, shift-job: wave....
AND it does not feature a power switch. That's really bad when you hooked directly on your computer via USB-C. Every time when you'redone you must tear the plug or the UNO sucks your computer batterie empty.
This could be solved. By a hint of a user. Pressing the hold button for a second or two switches the unit off. So at least an OFF SWITCH!
The tune knob for the oscillators is multirange: The first 10 minutes plus and minus it increses and decreases in CT steps and in half tones. So you cannot detune the oscillators when shifted in the halftone range.
The pots controlling plus and minus CVs could better feature a DENTED CENTER POSITION. For the TUNE knob it is not a big problem as it first advances in cents but adjustment FILTER ENV amount is sometimes very delicate and a quick cancelling of the ENV is not possible without a dented center position.
Units with built in sequencer are often hooked up to computers and other machines as via MIDI or USB as slaves. And here this unit badly need a well functioning AUTO MODE so that it switches to slave automatically when an EXTERNAL CLOCK is detected at the input. Most other gear features this.
So these were my fist impressions."

Studio Playtime with Mroztronium Grackler + Wingie2


video upload by Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"A brief little playtime in the studio today, with two wonderfully inspiring and strangely named instruments. I combined the Mroztronium Grackler, which is a standalone chaotic voltage controlled instrument, which can produce sounds that resemble everything from birdsong to peanuts caught in your throat, with the Meng Qi Wingie2, which is a stereo resonator and 'excites' the sound from the Grackler. I'm playing on the keyboard of the Wingie2, whilst manipulating the filter on the Grackler. Nice and simple, but I like to think, rather effective in its modest way."

Soundtoys to Donate 100% of Sales to Help Protect LGBTQIA+ Rights - Shop to Donate June 25–26



Press release follows:

BURLINGTON, VT (June 23, 2025): Audio effects company Soundtoys announced that 100% of all sales made on June 25 and 26 will be donated to Lambda Legal, the leading US organization dedicated to the civil rights of LGBTQIA+ people and everyone living with HIV.

This two-day campaign reflects Soundtoys’ ongoing commitment to equity, justice, and creative freedom. Customers who purchase any Soundtoys plug-in, bundle, or upgrade during the campaign period will directly support Lambda Legal’s critical legal advocacy, public policy work, and impact litigation efforts across the United States.

“We’re in the midst of an erosion and outright assault on freedom of expression, civil rights, and bodily autonomy, much of it directed towards those who are the most vulnerable,” said Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and lead designer.

“We strongly believe that diversity and our ability to live and express ourselves freely are one of our greatest strengths – especially within the music and arts communities. It’s easy to feel powerless these days, but supporting Lambda Legal is one small way we can all help to protect the freedoms that many of us take for granted.”

To participate, visit www.soundtoys.com on June 25 and 26, 2025. If you already own the full Soundtoys bundle, please consider participating by purchasing a gift card or making a personal donation.
